His Little Luna

Chapter 5

I couldn't wrap my mind around what she just said. What does she mean someone who isn't meant to be my mate?

"You're lying!" I said standing up, but I fell to the ground instead," Ryder and I are meant to be mates. He set you up!!" I glared at Ace who tried to help me up. I shoved him away and pulled myself back onto the bed.

"I'm sorry dear, but this boy, Ryder," She said," he isn't meant to be your mate."

"Your lying!" I said as tears started in my eyes," but how is that possible. Everything I feel for him? Everything I feel when we touch?"

"You've been wanting your mate since you were a little girl?" She asked, and I nodded," well, there's your answer. The first guy that you thought would be a good mate got in your head. You wanted your mate so bad that your body is playing tricks on you."

"No," I said quietly as the tears spilled over.

"I'm sorry dear," the woman said, then sighed as she stood up," she has to take these twice a day for the next week. It'll take care of the infection that was caused from the failed mating attempt." I pulled my knees to my chest and cried. How could Ryder not be my mate? She must be lying.

Is she? Think about it My rational side said if he was your mate, he wouldn't have treated you like he did before Ace took you. Can you even be sure that he is looking for you? That he wasn't just pretending everything that he did?

"Clara?" I jumped when I heard his voice his say my name. I looked up and he was looking at me worriedly.

"What do you want?" I asked wiping furiously at my eyes.

"I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry and that I know what you're going through," Ace said.

"Why are you being nice to me? You lie to me by telling me your boss wants me, so you kidnap me, only to find out that you are your boss. That you're the leader of this damned vampire clan. Spend the first day being a total ass getting mad at me," I asked fed up with this," because I refuse to eat the food you, a filthy bloodsucker gives me. And, you pin me to the bed like I'm some kind of slave or toy you can mess with. You have a doctor look at me to make sure I'm okay and now, you're being nice, and you look like you're worried about me. What the fuck!?" He sighed frustrated.

"I honestly don't know!" He hissed standing up," my intention was to kidnap you and use you as leverage against your father to get him to bow down to me."

"Oh?" I said," what changed?"

"Nothing!" He said, but I could see in his eyes that he was lying," .... you're still going to be leverage." He left slamming the door behind him. A few minutes later one of his goons, who's name I learned is Eric, came in and grabbed me by the arm.

"Come with me," He said dragging me out of the room as I struggled.

"Where are we going?" I asked trying to break free. We stopped in front of a set of double doors. He unlocked them and shoved me inside shutting and locking the doors behind me.

"WHAT'S GOING ON!?" I yelled pounding on the door, but no answer. I made it over to the bed just before my legs gave out. I looked over and saw that the one and only window had bars on it. There was a note on the bed. It read:

Little pup,

I made you a promise. So, for the rest of your incarceration, this will be your room. I'm sure you've noticed the bars on the window, that is just a little insurance policy to make sure you don't run off on me, as is the bars on the window in the bathroom. There is a fresh change of clothes in the bathroom and hot water. You are free to use it as you wish.
