Chapter 74
*LUNA*
I still didn't want to believe that Amelia was working with the councils and she had killed Sophia, at least that explained Sophia's death, none of the servants are strong enough to kill her without any struggle, it would take up to two Omegas or three to fight with an Omega of Sophie's age. Amelia wasn't an omega, so she could have easily killed her.
I returned to room, I couldn't be more glad that Scarlet and Rebekah were no longer with me, I needed time yo process what I just heard and the fact that Kayden had snatched me into his room, kiss me and then acted like I had forced him to. That was weird, strange and very confusing. I hated myself for even thinking about it.
I strode over to the window to look outside, recalling that Scarlet had mentioned a spy, could that spy be Amelia? The beta's mate? She isn't an omega so I couldn't understand why she would be working for that. In as much as I wanted to get to the bottom of everything fast, I can't jump into conclusion and until there is an evidence I can't jump into conclusions. I could be wrong.
Since there wasn't much for me to do, I decided to see how much freedom I have by taking a trip to the town by myself, it might be a bad idea but I was sick of staying indoors and doing nothing. I stare curiously at people as they stared at me, I walked through the market with a smile on my face which died down when I noticed someone was following me.
But when I turned around to look, I won't see anybody. It was at that point I started regretting my decision, walking hurriedly I left the market and started to go back to the palace, I stopped abruptly almost bumping into a large man that popped out of nowhere.
He snarled at me and I took a step back, turning around. I swallowed back the panic I was feeling when I saw someone behind me. Seems like they have been following me the entire time and I had no idea, I looked around me fearfully noticing the way people just walked pass us like whatever that was happening is none of their business.
"Who are you? Help!" Immediately I yelled one of them grabbed me and quickly covered my mouth, a woman noticed what was going on and approached us.
"You look familiar" She frowned trying to remember where she had seen me. "What is going on here" She further asked.
"She is our sister ma'am and we are taking her home" The other man obviously doesn't seems satisfy with the explanation, his second gave the woman. My scream was muffled by the sound covering my mouth as he snapped the woman's neck.
"We can't afford any attention to be drawn unto us. We need to find a way to keep her quiet" The one holding me suggested.
"You are right. Look whatever your name is, we are only doing our job and we urge you to comply with us. If you do that, then we don't have to kill you" He threatened.
I couldn't talk but only managed a nod, once I was released, I begin to run. I had no idea what direction I was running to but I continue running anyway using the fact that I don't have a scent to my advantage. I tried mind linking Kayden but I couldn't get through coursing me to remember I had vowed not to mark him back which make the mate bond invalid or something.
Once I was close to the palace, I pushed my self harder as I was getting tired, I made to run past the guards at the entrance but I was held back. After so much struggled I waited, turning around to see if I was still being followed and thankfully I couldn't find anyone behind me. "Why are you stopping me from going in?" I demanded, glaring at them.
"We saw the way you were trying to run in and we wanted to make sure everything is fine" One of them told me, I shook my head at them and without another word, I walked away.
I didn't go to my room, instead I went straight to Kayden's room to give him a piece of my mind, I burst through the door without a single knock. Ignoring the fact that he just comes out from the shower, I crossed over to meet him.
"Do you know what happened to me a few minutes ago? I went for a stroll in town and I was almost kidnapped in the midst of people. The councils are after me, after killing Heather's mate and dumping Heather's miserable form on their border!" I yelled breathing heavily.
Kayden however was giving me a look that says he was not impressed by my outburst. "Should I have let him live then?" He fling at me, suddenly robbing me of my speech.
"Of course not"
"So what you are trying to say is that it is okay for me to punish her mate but not her? The fact that they both deserved to die...hold on, you went to town alone? Without any guards?" He growled taking a step towards me.
I scoff. "What do you care?" I hissed turning around to leave but he pulled me back.
"You have been driving me half mad for the past few days and my control his wearing off" Before I can processed his word, he picked me up and carried me towards his bed, without another word, he dropped me on the bed and then unwrapped himself from the towel he had around his waist.
My eyes widened and my inside clench as I stare at his naked form, he isn't trying to complete the mating bond is he? Knowing my control would likely to slip and I swore never to lose that part of myself by committing to the mating bond like I lost my freedom.
When he reached for me, I cried out, fighting to get away from him but he easily overpowered me, trapping me beneath his powerful form. No matter how much I fight him off me, he didn't budge, he pinned both my hands above my head s he settled his bog weight over me.
"This is rape!" I spat recalling when he had told me he doesn't force himself on women, how am I suppose to believe now? I hated the fact that I actually believed him when he told me. "If you do this Kayden, I would never ever forgive you. I do not want you" I spat glaring at him and a little shocked to see the surprise across his face.
We both paused, him probably debating whether to do it or not while on the other hand, I hope he wouldn't. Then would he be different from the guard who had force himself on me? I swallowed hard as Kayden pushed himself away from me. Someone I felt cold and I regretted my outburst.
