CHAPTER ELEVEN
CAMILLE’S POV :
I’ve been here for a few days now, no one has come to visit except Miss Clara. I don’t know how she did it “Chuckles” but she did.
“Well I need to give her the food myself young man” I heard her say to one of the guards.
“I can help you do that ma’am” he argued back.
“Maybe you want to be starved before you will let me through right?” I could feel her smirk as she protested. After everything they let her through and opened the gate for her.
“Oh my sweet girl” she rushed to my side, giving me a hug. I haven’t eaten any good thing, I was glad she came.
“I stink Miss C” I said as I pushed her away a little but she swat my hand away.
“Oh please, who cares. I’m just so happy to see you, I know you haven’t been eating well and I couldn’t just let you not so I got some food. Common eat up” she ordered as she served me food. While I was eating so fast , tears rolled down my face. She was so good to me.
I sniffed.
“Sweeetie what’s wrong” she came closer as she raised my head up and cleaned my eyes.
“I just don’t know how to thank you for all these years. I’m just so very glad I met someone like you here” I hugged her as tears flowed from me eyes.
“Shhhh it’s okay, don’t cry. I would do this a thousand times, your like a second daughter to me even though I didn’t give birth to you but I love you as much. Ivy is also very worried, I panicked when I heard you were sent here but now I’ve seen you I can assure her that you will be fine. So you are loved darling, now eat up, i don’t want to see a single grain remain”.
I giggled and cleaned my eyes, her cooking was just so sweet. When I was done, I helped arrange the plates and she left but not without promising to try and be able to come see me. Miss C has always loved cooking for people, though she had some help in somethings like slicing, etc. She is a great cook.
After that wonderful meal, I went to bed. Yeah, there’s a little bed there, it’s a bit cold here because I have no blanket , just my old clothes.
I’m glad at least I wasn’t laying on the bare floor.
How did my life get to this? I thought again. I remembered when Dad use to encourage me anytime I would want to give up because I was too tired.
“Your a strong, courageous my little warrior. Just have patience and when it’s time , you will know ” he always said and my mum will kiss my head and urge me to continue. Patience , just patience and I will surely leave the hell hole of a life.
Holding on to the piece I had left of them on my neck , I slept off.
It was already late at night when I was awoken by one of the guards.
“Here” he tossed a blanket towards me. With sleepy eyes I took it and muttered thank you.
“But who gave this to me?” I asked, my curiosity getting the best of me.
“The Alpha” he responded, leaving and locking the gate.
Aiden? To say I was shocked was an understatement. He hasn’t even come to see me since him and his Godforsaken Luna put me in here and now he gives me blankets? Something inside me was a bit happy though that he did.
A small part of me had hope he would come, even if was just to see me or anything but he didn’t. I just don’t know what to think of him anymore.
“Mate cares, maybe a little bit” Lunaris muttered. Oh she’s awake.
“Well I don’t really know Luna, we can’t trust him now. We are going to have to find a way to leave because I don’t think we will ever be accepted”.
“Maybe he will change he’s mind about us. His Wolf has been trying to reach out to me, I can feel it but the bond isn’t strong enough” she whined sadly.
“He threw us into the dungeon Luna. What mate does that kind of thing? He hasn’t even come to to see us” I just couldn’t hold in the tears that rolled down my face as I remembered everything he has done to me.
“I’m sorry Camille, let’s not talk about it anymore okay? I don’t want you to be sad, I’ll also get very sad” she said trying to calm me down , my whole body was shaking. I used to blanket to warm us up a bit. This place just had to be so damn cold.
Giggling I heard Luna say “you are indeed a funny human, you cry then curse”. I chuckled at what she said.
“Well… What can I do”. I cleaned my eyes. We continued talking and talking and talking of different things, she actually succeeded in getting my mind of things that will make me think.
I want to believe there is hope for us too, I want Luna to be happy too but I don’t see any hope. Nothing has changed since the first day I got here, instead it all became worse as the years flew by.
I don’t want us to get our hopes up and it will be crushed later. It’s better If I try not to expect anything, I thought. Luna had gotten tired and retreated to sleep but I couldn’t sleep anymore, just thinking of a way or a miracle or something.
I still remembered my aunt, I wonder how she’s doing. She must have aged by now , oh how I miss her so much.
I’m sure they didn’t let her see me , that’s why she wasn’t her . I know my aunt will never abandon me but she had no choice.
Moon Goddess, please let her be safe
