The Wolfs Master// Noah Centineo

CHAPTER 13

Cassandra's P.O.V

I wake up to the now familiar scent that is Noah. He is still holding me but he is fast asleep.The sun is still out and I wonder what amount of time has passed with us like this.

" Are you okay Cassie" he asks his words coming out slow and sleepy and .. woah!

Did he just call me Cassie? He's never called me that before. And why do I love it.

" Yes I'm okay Noah but I could really use some water. "

" Yes we of course let me ring it up for you."

In less than five minutes ,a castle slave was knocking on the door. He hands Noah the glass of water and some tablets and he in turn hands them to me.

" What are this?" I ask even though they are already in my mouth.

" Iron tablets " he replies simply even though I can see the pain behind his every words.

I still can't believe we held each other for that long. My hands were aching to roam his perfect body.

That feeling I feel when I get close to him was now stronger than ever. Yet I can't fathom what it is exactly. Like, I feel like killing him everytime I think of what he is but when I look into his eyes I feel like kissing him and drowning myself in him.

Call me crazy.

After downing the two gigantic tablets, I sit on the edge of the bed waiting for Noah to say something and like on que he does.

" So I need to get to the bottom of what happened in there. If you get hungry you know what to do, I'll be back as soon as possible." He says and very surprisingly kisses my forehead.

Damn!

This is more affection than I have ever seen from even Nicole.

Somehow I feel like that kiss is not the way a boy would kiss her girl but the way a brother would show affection to his younger sister. Yes it must be that.  I still wouldn't want to forget my place here though. I'm just a slave.

Nothing else.

As soon as I feel better which for me won't even take long, I need to stop feeling so comfortable and be the slave Langford wants me to be.

He leaves and I don't know what to do with all the spare time I have on my hands.

I shower again, shave and decide to go out for the slave hangout.

The slave hangout is when all slaves, personal and castle go out and socialize in the back garden.

I walk out the back doors of the castle but I can't shake off the feeling that every one knows what I have been upto. No one was there but I had this feeling that they know

You know like when you wear your best outfit but once you are in the presence of alot of people, you feel as if you are wearing a sack, that's how I was feeling at the moment. Like every body is looking at me.

I decided to go to the pond. The bushes there will hide me.

When I get to the small pond, I spot another slave but before I decide to go back, I recognize it's Lucy so I continue moving.

" Lucy? Hi?" I say catching her attention .

" Hey Cassandra."

" Call me Cassie."

" Hey Cassie what are you doing so far out here?" She asks just out of curiosity.

" I don't know actually, I guess I don't feel comfortable around the other girls in here"

" Yeah me too" she says with sadness.

" What's wrong Lucy?" I ask.

" It's nothing" she says and looks away.

I put my finger under her chin and bring her to look at me.

" You can tell me " I assure her. So she begins slow and unsure but as she continues her confidence is builds up.

" Before I got captured, I had run away to live with my boyfriend. I thought that if I was nowhere to be found, I wouldn't be forced into slavery like the rest of my family. For a while, we lived in Bliss. He loved me and I loved him. It wasn't a big cabin but I was happy there with him ." She pauses to swallow the rising tears but I urge her to continue.

" So one time we were talking and he seemed off like something was bothering him. I tried to ask him what was bothering him but he wouldn't budge. I thought he was just stressing out because of work but I still wanted him to talk to me."

" What kind of work did he do?" I ask

" Well, didn't know. I trusted him you know"

I do

" So what happened?"

" I was mad that he wouldn't tell me anything so I went out of the cabin for a walk. He kept on telling me to go back inside but I wasn't about to listen to him yet he wouldn't talk to me.  So I went deeper into the woods. It was during the full moon and it was really beautiful. "

She pauses again but this time it is to wipe her tears.

" He followed me deeper into the woods just shouting and begging me to go back and that he would he would tell me what was bothering him. I agreed and we started walking back. Then suddenly we heard some noises come out of the woods like people talking or something like that. I was starting to get scared at that point. I was so mad before I didn't really realize how scary that place was. We suddenly stopped and he asked me to get on his back. I was just about to protest that my weight will only slow us down but what happened shocked me to my core. He started running, but it was more like zooming. I couldn't even see the trees that we passed, everything was just a blur.''

As Lucy continued explaining her story, the more I got confused, nevertheless I urged her to continue.

" We got back to the cabin and he put me down. I was scared as hell but I still wanted an explanation. So I looked at him waiting to tell me what was going on. He looked into my eyes and said I am a vampire... I was confused and shocked to say the least but I didn't see where the problem was. I mean I wasn't very shocked because I kind of knew it. His hands were never warm and sometimes his eyes were very red when he got home. Turns out the reason he was stressing wasn't because of that but because he we had been discovered and the other castle vampires wanted him to turn me in or else they would kill me in front of him. I told him to kill me himself but he refused. I seriously did not want to work here in this castle but Carlo couldn't bear to kill me so he brought me here instead. The voices we were hearing that night were the vampires that were sent to kill me if I or him didn't cooperate"

" Carlo? I think I have heard that name somewhere. Does he work here?"

" Yes he does"

And that's when it hit me, Carlo was the second slightly nice vampire. Holy shit!

"When we were in the bathrooms the first time, I fell because when I looked into his eyes, I could see so much pain and it hurt to see him like that. All feeling in my knees just disappeared. He was willing to break me out of there but I know that means danger on his part. I couldn't let him, because I know that the other vampires wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone who helps out a human."

That connected so many dots for me and I was really happy that she confided in me.

The question is, I'm I ready to confide in her? About Noah and everything that has happened. If only she knew I was half werewolf. Yet I couldn't tell her ,Bartha had asked me not to tell anyone and not to trust anyone.

"I am really sorry Lucy, I don't know how but I am sure we will not stay here forever."

I said and meant it.

MORE TO COME LOVELIES..
