Chapter 16 - Voice (1/2)

”Amaris.”

She frowned. She could hear someone calling her. It was the same voice she heard in the hallway yesterday. Who is it? She asked inwardly.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked around. She couldn't recognize the place. From the looks of it, she was in a bedroom. She moved to sit down on the bed.

She flinched when she felt a sudden pain on her back and between her legs. When the blanket fell from her body, she realized she was naked. Her heart suddenly pounded loudly.

Panic and fear were starting to consume her. What happened to me? She asked herself. She tilted her head around, trying to remember where she was or why she was in that bedroom.

She then felt something heavy on her legs. She looked at the other side of the bed and saw a man sleeping quietly beside her. She stared at him, trying to recall what happened last night.

Did she really allow this to happen? Did she just give herself to this man? She knew the guy, it was Zion, the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack.

She felt a throbbing pain in her head. She couldn't just react violently towards Zion. She wasn't sure if she allowed this to happen but it didn't look like he forced her.

It was weird. With the guys she dated, she could remember the things they did in the past, she only forgot what she felt. But now, she couldn't remember what happened yesterday.

Not all of it though, parts of it have been erased. Like why she was in his bedroom or in this house. She remembered someone was calling her yesterday in the hallway, though. But that was it.

”Amaris.”

That voice again, sending shivers into her whole body. She mustered her strength to get off the bed to follow the one who was calling her. Her knees were shaking when she stood up and looking at bed, she saw droplets of blood.

She sighed. She really gave herself to him, but she didn't feel disgusted about it. She just feel sad that she couldn't remember what it felt.

She walked towards the couch, naked, and took the robe hanging on the backrest. Her back really aches a lot and she felt the soreness between her legs.

Giving a last glance at Zion, she went out of the bedroom. The room seems to be on the last floor of the house. The hallway was lighted dimly with wall lamps, making it feel like she was in an old abandoned place.

”Amaris.”

She gasped for air when she heard the voice whisper in her ear. A sudden chill ran through her body. She embraced herself and bit her lips, letting out a deep sigh, she continued to walk on the red carpeted floor.

The castle walls were full of old paintings and statues of different creatures. In the middle of the hallway, she saw a painting of a werewolf and a woman sitting next to each other in a flower garden. She raised her hand to touch the painting but was surprised again by the voice, calling her like a wind howling through the night.

”Amaris.”

As she turned around to wander down in the dark cold path, she saw a door with a symbol carved on it. It was a sword overlapping the crescent moon.

She was sure that the voice came inside the room. She took a deep breath and was about to hold the knob when a powerful force held her shoulders, pushing her away from the door.

She fell on the floor, feeling a mixture of pain and fear. She looked around but there was no one there but her. Her heart was beating so fast and her breath started to get ragged.
