She held my chin and giggled again. The position didn't allow me to look away so I steeled myself and looked into her eyes. All of a sudden a deep suction seemed to have pulled at my consciousness into a whirlpool of unfamiliar emotions. I staggered and freed myself from her hold giving a distance between us.
I was a boy of 14 years but because of malnourishment and the hard labour I did, my body was thin and weak. When the Sovereign stood up again, I had to lift my head and steal a glance at her perfect features.
"Haha! We are Lunarians. The darlings of Selene, the moon goddess. Though the stinky wolves want to snatch the position they can't deny the fact that we were the last creation of Selene and she bestowed on us her beauty." She said, noticing the way my brows were creased.
She looked at me and smiled and an unfamiliar feeling swept through my chest. I smiled too and realized then, that I was not afraid of her.
"I can't believe I'm telling this to you." She sighed and walked up the stairs.
"Argent come along." She called.
"Rosa milady. I corrected.
"Oh! Then you are now Argent." I looked at her in disbelief.
Hey young lady, we don't change names like that okay. I mean I love my name. What the heck?
I followed her to a room that was bigger than my mortal home. It was very grand and luxurious. Well I never thought the immortals also enjoyed luxury.
"This will be your room until I say otherwise. There's a change of clothes in the wardrobe. Sought yourself out and come down for dinner."
"Do you treat all your slaves this well milady? " I questioned. She raised a brow and mouthed an O
"Who told you you are a slave?"
"Am I not?" I was getting confused.
"It's still early. Change and come down first." She closed the door and left.
I walked towards the wardrobe and pulled it open. It was filled with royal garments, my size. I chose a casual grey pants and black top. I combed my hair a bit and went down to meet Serena.
When the lady saw me, she got up and pulled a chair next to the head seat for me to sit. I didn't see anything wrong with it so I sat. But the maids who brought the food shook so had that one of them dropped a platter of fruits. She bent over and kissed the corner of my lip before muttering something in an unfamiliar language.
"Get out!" She said to the servants. The dining room became empty after the servants left. Only the two of us, I didn't want to make a kerfuffle so I quietly ate the food she placed on my plate.
That was my besteal in my 10 over years. I couldn't hide the satisfied smile on my face.
"Thank you milady." I whispered.
"Serena. You can call me Serena when we are alone." She smiled Serena was indeed a beauty. Her long legs and slim waist which could be see through the net gauze made it difficult for people to look away.
"Serena!" I called out softly. " Yes Argent."
"Can you tell me now?" My voice grew softer as if I was weary of disturbing something.
She turned and faced me and held my hand.
" Look into my eyes Argent, don't be scared." I did as she said and that whirlpool again, I was sucked into it.
As I continued to endure, the seen before me changed into something else.
