I AM HIS HUMAN LUNA

Chapter 7 – Escape cramps

Zenya’s POV

“Mom, please close the curtains. I want to sleep some more,” I said, turning to face the other side of the bed. Oh, my bed is so comfortable. I just want to hug my pillow, sleep forever and never get up.  

“Sunshine, wake up beautiful. It's 7.00 a.m. now,” I heard a sexy whisper in my ear.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw a pair of sea-green eyes looking back at me diligently. Surprised at his presence, I jumped out of the bed and fell on the floor. Ouch! My ass and butt cheeks hurt!

In a flash, a pair of strong arms picked me up gently, making electrifying sparks run through my body. My eyes met his, and we gazed into each other’s eyes, frozen at the moment. When the realization of what was happening hit me, I quickly moved away from him.

Greyson just scratched his head sheepishly, "good morning, my sunshine. Go freshen up while I prepare breakfast.”

"I need my clothes. Where are they? I need my phone also. s**t! The people from the university must be worried about me. Listen, I need my luggage, handbag, and phone!" I demanded, placing my hands on my hips.

"Relax, baby girl! You'll receive everything if you behave like a good girl," he replied, an evil smirk appearing on his face.

"Ugh! Can I, at least, have a set of my clothes to wear for now?” I requested, sighing deeply at his maddening behavior.

"You can wear my clothes since you are not going out anywhere today," he responded, making my blood boil in my veins.

"Fine! Go to hell, you psycho!" I yelled and rushed to the bathroom.

I had a hot bath to calm my nerves but when I got out, I realized that I forgot to take his clothes. s**t! I tried drying my hair but water still dripped down my bare body. With no other choice, I secured the towel around me and exited the bathroom to go and get some clothes. But as soon as I walked out, my jaw dropped at the sight in front of me. F**k! He was in nothing but a towel after his shower, the water from his messy hair rolling down his perfect abs and sexy v-line, before continuing down to...... Zenya! What are you doing? Are you drooling at him? My mind quickly alerted me of my crazy reactions and I closed my dry mouth just before he saw me.

"Oh, dear! Moon Goddess, please help me!” He blurted out and started approaching me, making time slow down in my mind.

Before he could reach me, I ran to the closet to grab some clothes, but he quickly appeared behind me. His body towered just a few inches behind me. How can I move now? The almost-naked man caged me between his rock-hard chest and closet, resting his arms on the closet door, just above my shoulders. Great, now I can't move. Oh, f**k, he is getting closer! He reduced the distance between us, his chest almost touching my back, making me grab my towel tightly. But, he just started to select clothes for himself casually from the closet, his body still trapping me in his arms.

"Can you move away? I need to go to the bathroom and change," I demanded.

"I’m just picking out my clothes for the meeting," he whispered in my ear, his hot lips caressing my earlobe ever so slightly, making my whole body quiver in response.

"You are so beautiful, my angel, like a rose which blooms only for me in the morning," he expressed, nuzzling his face into my hair and sniffing my scent.

Usually, I hated men. I even had only a few male friends. I just didn’t like the way men looked at me. But, with Greyson, I didn’t feel a bad vibe from him and I didn’t know why.

"I am trying very hard to control myself, baby girl. Please go and change before I do something to claim you as mine," he uttered huskily and released me from his body cage.

I ran to the bathroom to change and returned to see him dressed in a full suit. He was so handsome. How on earth a man can be so good-looking?! Eventually, we both headed to the kitchen to see breakfast already ready on the kitchen counters. The aroma of the food was teasing my taste buds and I was impatient to dig into it. But, unfortunately, someone knocked on the door hurriedly, like it was an emergency, just as Greyson was serving food to me.

He opened the door and another handsome man much like Greyson barged into the room. Who was he? Was he also a part of his kidnapping gang?

"Good morning, Alpha! We need to hurry for the meeting. Mmmm…. the aroma of the food is ma-" he stopped abruptly when he noticed my presence.

"Good morning, Luna. I am Stephan, the Gamma of the pack." The stranger bowed humbly before me.

Huh? What is he talking about? What Luna? And who is Gamma? What is a pack?

"Okay, that's enough Stephan. We need to hurry. If you didn't have your breakfast yet, you can have it with us now," Greyson said, interrupting my chain of thought.

“So, Luna, what do you think about our Alpha? When are you planning to meet the pack? Have you told your parents already? How many pups you are going to have?” Stephan asked, shoving large portions of food into his mouth.

My jaw dropped in shock at his endless questions as my brain tried desperately to process what he meant.

“Stephen, do you wish to die before even meeting your mate?” Greyson questioned him, shooting him a death glare.

“She needs time, Stephen. We will tell her everything later, slowly. Now, stop your blabbering, and let’s hurry!” Greyson stood up from his seat and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

“Wait, where are you going? I have so many questions to ask you. Plus, I need my luggage, my passport, my phone, and other things, please,” I requested with a shaky voice, knowing well I was about to cry. 

“Baby girl, we will talk later and I’ll answer all your questions. But now I have to rush for a business meeting.” Greyson patted my head briefly but softly.

“Don’t think of running away or pulling any kind of stunts, my angel. The consequences won’t be good for you. If you ever try to escape, I would be able to feel it, baby girl, trust me. Oh, and one more thing, I have guards everywhere.” He stared at me seriously, as if warning me with his eyes.

Go to hell, you bastard! I thought to myself while clenching my teeth.

“Lunch has already been cooked and is in the refrigerator. You can reheat it in the microwave and have it,” Greyson said before walking towards the door.

 “See you in the evening, Luna!” Stephen wished and they both walked out the door.

“I am not Luna, it’s Zenya. Call me Zenya!” I shouted out but no one responded.

The minute they left for their meeting, I quickly got up from my seat, not wasting a single second. I immediately started to search around every inch of the huge room for my stuff to get the hell out of there. I looked under the mattress, in the drawers, closet, cupboard, sofa, kitchen racks, bathroom counters, and basically everywhere else. I needed my passport and phone above anything else, at least with them, I could somehow manage to do something. There was no way I could roam this country without a passport. F**k this man! I couldn’t find my things anywhere, nor did I know where I was. All I had was a balcony, so I headed there for a clue of my location.

The minute I opened the curtain, my heart stopped for a second. I couldn’t believe my eyes! There, in front of me, was the Statue of Liberty, surrounded by the big blue ocean. Are you kidding me? We are in New York? But I landed in Philadelphia, how did I get to New York? I’ve always dreamt of visiting NYC but definitely not in the situation I was in. I looked down to see that we were on the 7th floor of a hotel. How could I get down to the street from the balcony? With the balcony being a bad idea, my only escape was through the main door. Nevertheless, there was nothing I could do without my phone and passport. But with no other choice, I decided to escape from the hellhole, go to the police station and tell the whole story with certainty that they would help me.

I quickly got changed into my own clothes, the one I had on the day I left Sri Lanka. But the thought of the guards, made me freeze. What should I tell the guards? I quickly thought of a lie and motivated myself to not show them my fear.

I headed for the door and open it but unfortunately, it was locked. That bastard had programmed a password for the door. F**k you Greyson! I’ll definitely send you to jail. With nothing else to do, I scream from inside of the room at the top of my lungs. Within a few minutes, a tall guard opened the door. Damn! All of them made me feel like a dwarf among their crane-heightened muscular bodies.

“Luna, is there any emergency?” he asked politely, peering worriedly into the room.

“I am not Luna, it’s Zenya! I need to go outside to buy few things,” I declared confidently.

“But we have strict orders from Alpha, to not let you go outside until he comes. Besides, if you need anything, let us know and we will bring it to you,” he replied professionally.

“I need to buy something personal, something only a woman can go and purchase, something I don’t feel comfortable sharing with you. If your boss knew that I shared my personal information with you, it won’t be a good thing for you,” I explained, manipulating him with my clever words as I folded my arms in front of my chest.

“Fine, Luna. But I will come with you.” He nodded his head and stepped aside for me to pass through.

Well done, Zenya! I did a somersault in my head and followed behind him obediently. We headed down with the VIP elevator and passed through the hotel lobby. Oddly, almost everyone bowed before me with respect but all I could muster out was a confused look on my face. Why are they bowing to me?

Eventually, the guard led me to an SUV and he drove me to a nearby shopping square, about 15 minutes away from the hotel. We went inside the square and I instructed him to wait outside one of the stores. At first, he refused to let me go in alone but I channel my confidence again and commanded him to wait there. Surprisingly, when I commanded him with authority, the guard humbly obliged. With him stuck outside, I headed inside the store and looked around for another exit, preferably from the back of the store. I must have been running around madly because soon a sales lady looked at me skeptically as she pointed out to the red door behind me.

“My boyfriend and I just fought. So, I just want to scare him a little and make him come to look for me. That’s why I planning to go out the back exit. If he comes looking for me, could you just tell him that I’m still shopping? Thanks,” I explain and headed out the red door.

Stepping out of the store and onto the busy street, I just started running like hell. It was getting dark and I was unsure where I should go, but I knew I had to get far away from there. All of a sudden, I suddenly felt severe cramps in my abdominal area. I brushed it off thinking it was due to my intense running and slowed down slightly. But then, after walking a little further, I felt a strong pain through my back and chest, just like someone had stabbed me. What is happening to me? God, please help me!

I quickly sat down for a few minutes, breathing deeply to reduce the pain. As soon as the pain resided, I started to walk again. Then, oddly, even in the cold weather, my whole body started to sweat tremendously, drenching my T-shirt with my sweat. Why am I sweating when it’s cold outside? Am I going to die? No matter what, I ignored my state and was determined to get to the police station. I started running again, but once again that stabbing pain overcame me, this time much worse, making me feel like my whole body was being stabbed continually.  My legs were wobbling and I could run nor walk. My body felt like it was getting weaker by the second as nausea stirred in my chest accompanied by an inferno devouring my body.

Giving up, I was about to trip and fall when two strong arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me against a rock-hard chest. I looked up to see none other than Greyson. Despite feeling annoyed that I was in the presence of my kidnapper again, he made me feel like I had gone to heaven. His touch made me feel like I suddenly got dipped into an icy glacier, my body heat reducing tremendously. However, I couldn’t hold back my nausea and I ended up vomiting on his chest. But Greyson didn’t revolt or pull back disgustingly, instead, he lightly patted my back lovingly. Soon, I felt dark spots clouding my view and before I knew it, I was unconscious in his arms.

Greyson’s POV

After breakfast with Zenya, we got into the car to head to our meeting. As soon as we entered the car, Stephen asked me if I had told her that we are werewolves. I just shook my head silently.

“Alpha, with no disrespect, but you need to tell her the truth. She is a human. It would take some time for her to absorb the truth and adjust to our environment,” Stephen advised.

“I know that, Stephen. I will tell her soon. I will make her love me, whether she likes it or not. I know that I can. Besides, I’ve waited for her for too long already. I can’t just let her go, I am so possessive over her, Stephen. I know it’s not something easy but I will make her fall for me. She may deny it but I know that she can feel the sparks too. The Moon Goddess created our mate bond for a reason.” I looked out from the window, sighing deeply.

“Go slowly with her, Alpha. But, I really like her,” Stephen said with a smile, tapping my back encouragingly.

Soon we arrived at our meeting and discussed our new business with our clients. Even though I was physically at the meeting, my mind was always thinking about my angel. Her beauty truly drove me crazy. Even when we were having our lunch, I was wondering if she had already had her lunch or not.

Instead of focusing on the meeting, I was planning on what to cook for her for dinner. It was 5.00 p.m. when all the meetings finally came to an end. I decided to freshen up before returning to the hotel and went to a nearby restroom to wash my face. All of a sudden, a piercing pain struck my back but after a few seconds, the pain went away. I walked out of the restroom and I started feeling my body heating up, fast and extremely. I turned on the air-conditioner and removed my tie, crashing on the couch. My temperature was increasing greatly like my whole body was on fire. It was then I realized what was happening. F**k, she is escaping. I can feel it. That’s why I’m feeling this way!

We, the Redwood Warrior pack, are blessed with a special blessing from the Moon Goddess. It is that once we touch our mate and if he/she tries to run away or escape from us, a series of escape cramps would be felt by both mates and it was a blinding pain to bear. My heart broke at the thought of how my poor angel was trying to bear the pain. I must hurry now or else the condition of both of us will be at risk! I screamed for Stephen immediately, and soon he started running towards me.

“Alpha, what is it? Why are you in pain?” he asked, looking at me with horror and worry.  

“Hurry up, she is escaping! Take me to her,” I cried out before my wolf came to the surface.

“Hurry up, Gamma! I can’t lose her,” Damon exclaimed in pain.

“Yes Alpha! Can you sniff the air and locate her?” Stephan requested, running along with me to the car.

“She is heading towards Alfred street. Quickly, step on it!” Damon ordered, sitting in the car and removing the suit coat I was wearing.

Damon was desperately searching for her, and soon he saw that she swaying weekly, about to trip and fall. He jumped out of the stopped car and ran towards her, just in time to catch her in our arms. After seeing that his mate safe and sound, Damon gave me back control. I held on to her possessively as I felt my pain disappear, her touch making me feel better. I nuzzled into her crook of the neck and smelled a lungful of her scent. She looked at me sadly before vomiting on my chest. I realized that she was in a tough situation. She was just a human, this kind of pain was unbearable. Why did you escape, my baby girl? I thought to myself as I patted her back before she slowly became unconscious in my arms.

“Let’s go home, my angel. I’ve got you.” I carried her bridal style in my arms and got into the vehicle.
