The air today was different and the halls were filled with noises of people which was surprisingly new.
My heart wasn't even ready to let go of my past yet I was stepping into a new chapter of my life.
A Knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.
"Come inside!" I commanded, and Laura walked over to me with a handful of gifts.
"What are these?" I asked.
A warm smile flashed on her lips and she answered with excitement "your wedding dress and heels!"
I sighed…
"Did Ezra send these gifts?" My curiosity was visible in my words.
Laura rested the gifts on the table near her and took her seat beside me.
"Yes, he told me to dress you up well!"
Ezra Aphelion wants to kill me then why is he pretending to be sweet? That man is more wicked than I imagined, he is playing a dangerous game and I am just prey who is forever trapped in his prison!
"Can I ask you something?" Laura muttered with a maudlin look flashing on her face.
I nodded my head and she took a deep breath before asking as if she wasn't ready to ask this question yet can't control her curiosity either.
"Are you responsible for Kendrick's death?"
Ever since I came here everyone blamed me for his death but for the first time someone asked me if I am the culprit. Her question brought a smile to my lips and I looked at her face speaking of innocence.
"If I say no, would anyone believe me?" My question disappointed Laura and she held my hand tight.
"I know they all consider you a bad person, but I can see that you're innocent and kind." Her words comforted me and I felt a sense of relief in my heart, I got someone who believes in me.
"Now sit in front of the mirror, I must prepare you for your wedding ceremony!" Laura said with a warm bright smile.
On the other hand…

Larisa was getting married to Ezra and the hatred I felt for her had now reached the highest level of my limitations!
"I can't see them getting married, you said he will kill her then why is he getting married to her?" I asked, throwing all my frustration at my mother.
"I have seen the fire in Ezra's eyes, he hates her and I am sure of it!" Mother reassured me yet I was finding it hard to control my emotions.
Larisa always takes away everything from me. I was the one who laid my eyes on Kendrick first, I had always loved him yet he never looked at me the way he looked at Larisa!
I wanted him to be my mate but he chose Larisa over me, I never even got the chance to express my feelings.
She is like a curse in my life ever since the day I was born, she got all the love and all the men whereas I spent each day wrapped in insecurities!
After Kendrick, she found Ezra and here I am suffering from misery again!!!
"I want to snatch Ezra away from her!" My lips muttered.
Mother walked over to me and hugged me tight, her warmth calmed down my anger and the tears I have been clenching for so long rolled down with her touch.
"I won't let Larisa win, Ezra will be yours!" She promised.
Back to the Bloodmoon clan…

I was looking at my reflection flashing in the mirror and I could barely recognize myself with all the makeup and dress up!
All of a sudden I realized the zipper on my back was stuck and no one was with me to help. I was struggling with the zipper myself but suddenly felt a hot touch on my back.
"Stay still!" His voice was enough to let me know about his dominating presence.
My eyes shifted their focus to the mirror to take a glimpse of his face and the moment I laid my eyes on him, he caught me!
He was looking magnificent in his black suit as if a prince who came straight out of the novel.
"Are you looking at me?" He asked, looking in the mirror while his hands were still on my back, fixing the zipper.
"I was looking at myself!" My lips muttered.
A smirk flashed on his lips and he answered "this white dress looks good on you!"
I was flustered by his compliment and found my feet trembling.
He shifted his eyes again on my back but this time he witnessed the long ugly scar on my skin!
I was embarrassed and wanted to hide yet surprisingly, his fingers started moving on my scar back and forth as if he was questioning the story behind that scar.
"How did you get this?" He muttered.
My eyes were surprised by his curiosity.
"I fell from the stairs when I was small, and got these ugly scars all over my body!"
He was going to kill me anyway and no matter what I say, he will never be my protector!!!
He didn't respond to my answer and only Focused on the zipper.
"It's done!" He said.
I turned my head to him and made straight eye contact with his gaze.
"Thank you, Ezra! I showed my gratitude.
He turned his back to leave my room yet I held his hand and stopped him from taking the next step.
"Why are you being sweet to me?" I asked with hesitation.
He turned his head to me and answered "you will soon find out, I promise!"
I freed his hand from my grip and took a step back from him as I saw the real him hiding behind his sweet self.
He took his leave and I bent down on my knees as if I foresaw the horrible future waiting for me!
This wedding, this sweetness, and his curiosity about my scars are all just a mirage. In reality, he is just plotting his revenge against me.
