Red Stripes On The Silver Moon

Ep 5

Freya's POV

"Gosh, my head hurts...when did I get home last night..., I mumbled out of slumber, stretching my arms wide away from my body.

The ray of lights peeping through the window blinded my eyes, as I overlay my palms on my face, trying to get rid of my lethargy.

Regaining my consciousness, I opened my eyes slowly, only to find myself on a soft bed with fluffy pillows

I tried to sit up, but I found myself unable to move my limbs As if I was trapped in a web of blankets and sheets.

I was really sleepy, I could feel my eyelids drooping down again, but I forced myself to stay awake, trying my best to recall what was happening to me.

Everything was cool until I looked around the room, actually the most beautiful bedroom that I'd ever seen in my entire life.

The walls were painted white, the floor was covered in black carpet and the ceiling was high above, giving the impression that the room was spacious.

"How did I end up here?", I asked myself, as I struggled hard and sit right on the bed, slapping my head and forcibly gathering my thoughts to think brightly, all I could remember was being chased out of the house into the rain, I could remember me entering the forest and eating a fruit, and..................."

"What the heck am I doing here?" I screamed as I jumped off the bed, the yesterday's night's memories all surged into my head like a tide at once, giving me a sore headache.

"Who is this guy? Where am I? Why do I feel so weak and tired all the time, why can't I remember anything, what happened to me last night, who was that man that carried me into his car, where did he drive me?"

My mind was still foggy, I was thinking hard and fast, trying to recollect everything that happened the previous day, but my memory seemed to be failing me.

I was busy contemplating and gathering these memories when a cool manly voice came from one corner of the building

"Oooh.. you're awake?", I was stunned as I set my gaze on where the voice came from, there I saw a man sitting with his legs aligned on each other majestically. The ray of lights peeping through the window covered his head, making it difficult to make out his features.

Gradually, the glittering ray of morning sunlight went down, giving me the chance to see his full image.

"Dear God?"

The words slipped my lips as I opened my mouth widely, staring at the man's face astonishingly.

"No doubt, he must be a fairy", I bubbled in my heart as it galloped and trembled at this unbelievable beauty of a man.

I couldn't imagine a man could have such pale skin, his complexion was flawless and smooth. I couldn't Imagine his plumpy pink lips and his pointed nose, perfectly carved together like fairies in movies.

What shocked me most was his golden hair and his yellowish-green eyeballs, which were sparkling like gemstones.

His eyes were deep and mysterious as if he was looking straight into my soul.

I was dumbfounded and speechless, I didn't know what to say or ask, all I could do was stare at him with my mouth wide open.

"Hope you enjoyed your first night here?"He asked me with a smile, as he stood up and walked towards me.

As soon as he approached me, I felt a tingling sensation on my body, as I trembled and shivered uncontrollably as if I was struck by lightning. I then took a few steps backward to avoid him. Seeing this, he restrained himself from approaching me.

"And what I'm I doing here?", I forcefully let out the question from my shivering lips.

Before he answered, my memories returned fully. The first thing that popped up in my head was the image of me half naked last night, with my shoulders opened and my chest revealed.

With fear, I hurriedly covered my chest shamefully, that's when my hand touched something soft and comfy. Instantly, my eyes traveled down my chest, only for me to find myself in a white hood, and man's trousers tightly fitted around my waist in replacement of the torn wet torn skirts.

"Who does this? How dare you lay your hands on me? You undressed me?", I snarled at him repeatedly with a fiery gaze, which left him surprised.

"Do you not like them?", That's the next word that came out of his mouth. At that moment, I felt as if I should remove the cloth and throw it on him before leaving the room, however, this I knew to be impossible. Since there's no other alternative for me than to accept the shame and force myself to act nicely to him.

"Why did I deserve to be here?", I asked him in a low-pitched tone, with sadness embedded in it.

"You passed out and you wouldn't wake up in time, so I brought you here. And I have to get something back from you also", he replied.

"Get something back from me?", I asked him surprisingly with full concentration.

Now the looks on his face seem more serious than I thought, his eyes were piercing and sharp as if he was looking into my soul.

"You swallowed my marble last night. A very important marble I carried with me for nearly Thirty years to become an Alpha", he replied to me this time in a sadistic tone.

"ALPHA?", I asked confusingly as I started counting my fingers, trying to remember the Greek alphabet referred to as Alpha.

"Yes..... it's the same as swallowing up my dream, my long-time wish. Inside the peach, you ate is my marble, my most treasured possession since I've been born. In it lays my glory, joy, and fame", he replied to me in a teary voice. Now I could sense the seriousness in his voice more than usual.

I was startled by his reply, my heart beat rapidly and I could hear my blood rushing to my ears, as I felt confused.

"Why would just a mere fruit I ate have anything to do with your dream?......and what can I do to return whatever I took from you?"I asked him, even though I didn't understand all his phrasing.

"What if I couldn't return it to you?", I added.

Had I Known, I wouldn't have asked him that question. It was as if he had been waiting for me to ask him that question, immediately, he took a step towards me with his daring green eyeballs and he whispered to my ears.

"YOU'LL DIE".
