The Alpha's Amazing Ex-Luna Is Back
Chapter 4
“No, I’m begging you to let me go.” I try harder to resist them, fighting the two of them to let me go.
I get panicked as all I can see is a dark, scary, and damp forest. If I die there by them, there is no way anyone would notice me. It feels like that wood is the perfect place to commit a crime, the perfect grave to bury my body without a trace.
I don’t know where I am right now.
I gasp at the vision of my future in their hand. I just had a broken heart a moment ago, even right now, I still can’t process it, and now they are about to kill me.
So this is the way they end my pain? By letting another pain end my heartache. By killing me? Like, seriously! I look at Emma.
I got a lot of feelings in my chest towards her; I feel the pain of being blamed after her lies that I cannot accept. “Why did you do this to me?” I snapped at her.
My body gets a bit trembling as I shout at her. For the first time in my life, I speak in a high and fierce tone to someone. My parents never once let my inner self outburst. They always tell me to behave, to control myself, to be elegant and graceful, because someday I might find myself a better person to marry.
I never used to be violent, but she is an exception. “Don’t you feel enough by taking my mate from me?”
She giggled as I stared at her, while my hands were held by her peers. The look in her eyes really changed in front of me. “Jangan memutar balikan fakta, Maddie! Aaron is mine.”
I see how her eyes are burning while she stares at me; she looks like she’s about to hit me, and it makes me shiver from that stare in her eyes.
"From the first, he is mine, and you snatched him from me!” He grabbed my hair and pulled it hard.
I grimace in pain when I feel my scalp being pulled. I feel a burning sensation and stings in my scalp, and it hurts a lot.
I look into her eyes, straight and sharp. “I don’t.” In fact, I never do that. “You might be his lover, but I'm the one to be recognised as his mate by the elders. Aaron is my destined that Moon Goddess choose to me–”
“Shut up you liar!” She screamed in front of my face, while her hand pulled my head even harder and made my head have to tilt down.
At that moment, I knew that the woman was crazy. She is having a big duality that nobody knows about. But who would believe it, if I said about her true nature this way? None of them will.
“You think that I would trust you?!” She pulled my hair closer to her face, and it gave me another pain in my head. “You’re such a liar, manipulated and vicious woman.”
No, I swear! I never do that. I just accepted my fate as his mate, just it is. I’m not happy when they're a couple. But I never do that kind of thing to gain something.
She is speaking nonsense.
How her eyes are burning with anger, how her hand keeps trying to pull my hair, tells me that she is not sane.
I should make her let me go; I might make her change her mind.
I tried to look at her calmly. “Emma, you know that you can’t do this to me.” I tried to make her regain her sanity.
Hoping that it would make her let me go.
“You will regret what you do to me right now, so let me go.” I emphasized that to her.
I wish she would change her mind, but her fierce eyes tell me another thing.
She calmed instantly and brought her face to my face. “I’m not joking by saying I’m gonna make you disappear. But, I’ll give you a chance.”
Something tells me it's gonna get worse. She is calm in this situation. I gulped as my heart beat was getting fast. I could hardly breathe, and watching them give signals to each other gave me tension.
I look at Emma, who is averting her eyes to the guy who guards me. “I wish for both of your help, my dear brother.”
“Sure my dear sister, anything you say and we’ll do it right away.” They smiled at her.
Brother? I'm stunned.
So they are her brother?
Emma smiled, looking at me with her innocent face. “Now, I will give you a chance, Maddie.”
I fix my eyes on her, and hear what she's gonna talk about. “What is it?” I wait for her answer.
She smiled even harder, looking at her brother like she show them that they heard what I said. “Look at you getting so motivated.” She mocked me. “I'm being generous to you. You can run from this place. I’ll give you 30 seconds to run.”
I got my hope up, but not for that long, till I heard her talk again, “But after that they will run after you. If you succeed, you will be safe, but if you are caught, today will be the last day you can breathe Maddie. How about that?”
I stare at her. That's not an option at all.
They seem much stronger than I, and I can sense it. I can’t see myself getting lost by their grip, but maybe by miracle it might happen.
Rather than giving my life to them just like that without even trying to fight back. I should take it as my last hope.
I give no answer, but of course, I will do anything for my life. For my safety.
She gave me a bitter smile. “Just you know, you will never escape Maddie.” She started to count.
I panicked and ran as fast as I could. But my legs are way slower than theirs. 30 seconds were just wasted as I saw them chasing behind me at high speed.
They move really fast, keep getting closer and closer to me.
“Don’t waste your energy, there is no use!” They shouted behind me and laughed like maniacs.
“When I catch you, I will twist both your legs first so you can move.” His warning crept on me like a bad dream.
I got chilled, I bit my lips, and tried to move faster than before.
One of them was exactly beside me, his face grinning like a horror movie. “I will take a turn to pull your hand off, my dear.”
I got frightened and stumbled into something. My body crashed into the trees. I feel pain in my shoulder and my ribs, yet I try to wake and run again.
But my hand got pulled; they are really about to break my hand. I scream like crazy and try hard to get away. I got my sleeve torn by them, and looking at it made me even more scared.
The fact that I’m gonna be killed there that instant feels so real.
Beberapa kali aku kembali tertangkap oleh mereka, I get my ribs, my stomach, and my face being hit by them whenever they are close enough. Still, I get away again.
I saw a cliff with a fountain over there. I looked back, saw them being near. I clench my teeth. That cliff looks terrifying, but it's better than being torn apart by them, so I jump.
I’m sure that I will jump from that cliff, but I don’t feel my body fall. I turned my head and found a man holding me tight.
The one that I’m certain of is that man is not one of them.
I feel kinda relieved, knowing that I’m not gonna die today by their hands. A strong smell lingers in my nose as my body leans towards him. I could tell that this person is not one of them, and I’ll be safe now.
As he put me down on the other cliff, he stood facing the direction where I was about to jump, where Emma and her brother were chasing me.
My eyes got fixed on his broad shoulder, his figure giving me security that I long for. At that time, I’m sure that this day will bring me back alive.
Maddie dies at the moment she knows she is being betrayed by her mate. And now she has another chance to start all over again.
