Cursed By The Moonlight - Chapter 116

Amaris wanted to keep her distance from Alwyn. They had rejected each other already, so she shouldn’t feel attracted to him. What he was doing now was because he was her protrea, nothing more, nothing less.

But she couldn’t understand why she couldn’t get away from him. It’s like something was pulling her towards the Elven Prince.

‘Max.’ She called using the mind link.

‘Yes?’

‘I think something’s wrong with me.’

Maxine stopped walking and turned around to look for her cousin. She saw Amaris being supported by Alwyn. The prince’s arm was on her cousin’s shoulder as the two walked behind them.

Maxine wasn’t against Alwyn, but Amaris got a mate already. Zion would definitely go berserk if he found out about this. She walked towards them and casually approached the two.

“What happened? Are you okay?” Maxine asked.

Amaris couldn’t say it out loud because Prince Alwyn was there. Maxine understood when Amaris looked her in the eyes. She nodded then turned to the prince.

“Can you help Zoila with our stuff? It’s too heavy for both of us. Don’t worry about Ari. I got her.” She said.

The Elven Prince was hesitant at first. He looked at Amaris then nodded in agreement after.

“What’s happening to you? You’ve been very close to Prince Alwyn ever since Zion left.”

Amaris gulped before answering her cousin. “I’m craving.”

It was just a whisper, but Maxine heard what she said.

“What? Craving? Craving for what?” Maxine asked with a frown on her face.

“For blood. My whole body feels so hot.”

“You’re in heat?” Maxine asked again to confirm.

Amaris wet her lips and nodded.

“Fuck! Why now? Zion’s not here.”

Maxine looked at the others who were walking ahead of them. Then she turned to Amaris again, eyes widened.

“Are you craving for the prince’s blood?” She asked Amaris.

“No. She’s craving for her mate’s blood.”

“Diana! Oh, thank god you noticed.”

“We have to hurry to Grakar’s house. It would be dangerous if the others notice.”

Maxine couldn’t understand what Diana meant, but she agreed since Amaris looked like she was about to burst.

They arrived at Grakar’s house before sunset. They were surprised to see that the minotaur’s house was huge and modern. From the outside, the place looked stunning, built with white stones and had walnut wood decorations. The big, squared windows added to the house’s broad style in symmetric ways.

The three-floor house was equipped with a huge kitchen and one standard bathroom. It also had a huge living room, a dining room, four bedrooms,  two offices, a kids’ room, and a garage.

In the living room, the ceiling was high and had flower carvings in it. A floral light sculpture was hanging at the center and served as a chandelier.

The second floor was just the same as the first, creating a layered look with the roof. The floor had a slightly different style than the one below.

Two small chimneys sat on either side of the house. Two balconies let plenty of light to the rooms below the roof.

The house itself was surrounded by a modest garden, covered primarily of Atlantean healing trees, a few flower patches, and a miniature pond.

“Your house is amazing, Grakar.” Diana exclaimed.

“My mate studied architectural and interior design. She’s the one who designed the whole house.”

“I think if Grakar designed it, the place would be gloomy.” Cole chuckled.

Grakar was not insulted by Cole’s sarcastic comment. He laughed at it and nodded in agreement.

“You are right. I was born in the labyrinth island of Valmar, and the place wasn’t that nice. When we came to Terra, we were savage monsters. We kill and eat human flesh. But as civilization developed, we started to change the way we live. After Phelan chose me to be his daughter’s protrea, I traveled with him until the day he died. Instead of returning to Valmar, I came to Ocearia to live with my family. This place is peaceful. This is my home now. But as the Gods and creatures around Terra threatened the destruction of my home, I wanted to fight for it for my kids’ future.”

Maxine and Zoila became emotional by Grakar’s words. They didn’t expect someone like him to fight for his family’s sake.

After settling their stuff, they brought Amaris to the bathroom and put her in the tub full of ice.

“Do you think it would go away?” Maxine asked Diana.

“I don’t know. But a demon’s lust and craving could last for more than a week. Like vampires, we could only stop our thirst for blood if we consumed one.” Diana answered.

“She said she’s craving for blood. Can we just give her any blood?”

“We can’t. It will weaken her. She’s a hybrid. A half-demon, half goddess. Her level of lust or craving is different from any creature. And it seemed she’s craving only for her mate’s blood.”

Maxine looked at Amaris, who was sleeping in the tub. Before they arrived at Grakar’s house, Amaris lost consciousness and didn’t wake up even after putting her in the water with ice.

Diana and Maxine went back to the living room to discuss the matter with the others. They could see in everyone’s faces that they were worried about their Luna.

“Where is she? Is she okay? What happened?” Prince Alwyn asked continuously.

Maxine sighed deeply before answering.

“I think you shouldn’t get close to her.”

“What do you mean? Can you tell what the fuck is going on?” The prince asked again.

“She’s craving for her mate’s blood. You being closer to her might affect her desires. She might lose it and go out of control.” Maxine said while staring at Prince Alwyn.

“W-What? I didn’t do anything wrong.” Alwyn answered.

“You’re obviously flirting with her.” Maxine almost shouted.

Prince Alwyn smirked. “I’m not. She was weak and couldn’t walk, so I supported her. She was stressed because of the Alpha. I could feel it.”

Maxine didn’t argue anymore. She sat down on the couch with the others.

“We have to find a way to stop Amaris’ cravings and lust.”

“You can’t. The only way is to give her mate’s blood. Demons have bestia’s or beasts inside them, and the craving is from the one inside her. They said drinking blood could calm down the beast, but she has more than one in her case. That’s the reason she needs to drink her mate’s blood.” Diana explained.

“But Zion’s not here. What should we do?” Zoila asked.

Diana turned to the Elven Prince, which surprised everyone.. The prince’s eyes widened when he saw everyone’s gaze on him.
