Lunar Supremacy: The Original Alpha



"Miss Emilia Run!"  As Lucetta's urgent cry pierced the night, my heart raced with a mix of fear and adrenaline. The tranquility I had found in the moon's presence shattered, replaced by the harsh reality of our perilous situation. My uncle, driven by his anger, had discovered our escape and ordered his men and guard dogs to track us down.

Without a moment's hesitation, I grabbed her hand tightly, our fingers interlocking as we sprinted through the darkness. Every fiber of my being screamed for us to keep running, to find refuge and safety beyond the reach of our captors.

The moon, once a symbol of hope and freedom, now served as a silent witness to our desperate flight. 

Bark!

Bark!

Bark!

The sound of barking dogs and the heavy footsteps of our pursuers echoed behind us, driving us to push our bodies to their limits. Fear coursed through our veins, but determination fueled our every step. We darted through the dense forest, our breath ragged and hearts pounding, as we sought a place that would shield us from the clutches of my uncle's cruelty.

With each passing moment, the moon seemed to grow dimmer, obscured by the encroaching canopy of trees. Its light, once a guiding force, was replaced by the urgency of our escape. We navigated treacherous terrain, hurdling over fallen branches and pushing through thorny thickets, determined to outrun our captors and secure our freedom.

But as we pressed on, the limitations of our physical bodies began to take their toll. Lucetta, in particular, showed signs of exhaustion, her breathing becoming labored with each passing moment. The strain of our escape and the weight of the horrors she had endured were clearly catching up to her.

Realizing her struggle, I cast a concerned glance towards her. Her face was pale, beads of sweat glistening on her forehead. It was evident that she had pushed herself to the brink of exhaustion, her stamina waning.

"Just leave me , Miss Emilia. Please save yourself, " she spoke in a low voice.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I heard her selfless plea. The weight of her sacrifice tugged at my heart, but I couldn't bear the thought of leaving her behind to face the wrath of our pursuers alone.

"No," I said, my voice filled with determination and a touch of desperation. "We've come this far together, and I won't abandon you now. We'll face whatever comes our way together."

Her eyes glistened with a mixture of gratitude and concern. She knew the risks we faced, the danger that awaited us if we were caught. But her resolve remained unshaken.

As the relentless sound of approaching footsteps grew louder, a wave of panic surged through my chest, threatening to consume me.

In that moment of desperation, before I could not even process what was happening, Lucetta swiftly released my hands and sprinted in the opposite direction.

"Emilia, run! Don't look back!" her voice pierced the darkness, a mix of fear and determination resonating within her words. She had made a split-second decision to divert our pursuers, sacrificing her own safety to buy me precious time.

Shock washed over me as I watched her disappearing figure, her bravery etched in every step she took. I was torn between the instinct to follow her, to stay by her side, and the urgency to save myself, to ensure that her sacrifice was not in vain.

"I won't leave you behind," I called out, my voice laced with determination. "But I need to find help. I promise, once I'm safe, I'll do everything in my power to come back for you."

Lucetta's tear-filled eyes met mine, a mixture of understanding and fear shining through. She nodded, her voice choked with emotion. "I believed you."

I turned around with a heavy heart. The weight of the situation bore down on me, casting a shadow over my spirit.

My lungs burned, my body aching from the exertion, but the glimmer of hope fueled my every step. I raced through the darkness, desperate to distance myself from our pursuers, to find a place where I could reach out for help.

With my heart pounding in my chest, I refused to stop and pressed on, propelled by a surge of adrenaline. The scary scene behind me faded into the distance, as if my friend's brave diversion had successfully diverted our pursuers' attention. The once-persistent sounds behind me gradually diminished, replaced by an eerie silence that engulfed the night.

But I dared not look back, fearing that any momentary lapse in focus would make me weak.

Thud!

Finally,  I stumbled upon a nearby dirt road, a surge of relief washed over me. I knew that civilization lay within reach, and with it, the possibility of finding someone who could intervene, someone who could put an end to the atrocities we had endured.

Summoning every ounce of courage I possessed, I blocked the first passing carriages I spotted, my voice quivering with a mix of desperation and determination.

"Please, help me!" I pleaded, tears streaming down my face. "My friend is in danger, we were being pursued. I need your help to save her."

With bated breath, I awaited their response, praying that they would heed my plea and offer their assistance. The weight of the decision I had made, the choice to prioritize myself , pressed heavily upon me. But in that moment, I knew it was the only way forward, the only way to have a chanced of survival .

The door of the carriage finally opened . 

And what greeted me was the face of a man with captivating dark eyes and hair that seemed to meld seamlessly with the night, a rush of anticipation coursed through me. His presence was commanding, his handsome face bathed in the gentle moonlight, as if nature itself was trying its best to emphasized his grandeur.

He extended a hand, his voice soothing yet laced with concern. 

"What's the matter, miss ?" he asked .

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I took a shaky breath before finding the strength to respond.

"It's... it's been a nightmare," I managed to say, my voice trembling with a mixture of fear and relief at finding someone who seemed willing to help.

"There's a woman... my dear friend Lucetta. We were both trapped in a mansion. I had to leave her behind to find help, and I fear for her safety."

"I understand " His expression softened, a flicker of understanding crossing his face. He reached out and gently placed his hand on mine, offering a comforting touch.

"Please save her. I did not want to leave her ... but... but I have no choice!" Tears streamed down my face as the weight of my conflicting emotions threatened to consume me.

"You've made a difficult choice, but sometimes we must prioritize our own survival in order to help others," he reassured me. "Don't worry anymore, I will saved her for you" 

I wanted to thank him , but before a single word could escape my lips, a wave of overwhelming exhaustion washed over me like a tidal force. My body, weary from the relentless pursuit and the weight of my emotions, succumbed to the darkness that threatened to consume me. The world around me blurred, and my consciousness slipped away

But just as I felt that my vision was turning black, a pair of strong arms caught me, pulling me into a protective embrace. Time seemed to stand still as I found solace in the safety of this mysterious man's hold. His touch, gentle yet firm, grounded me in the present, offering a break from the chaos  that haunted me for so long

I could feel the steady rhythm of his heartbeat against my ear, a steady cadence that reassured me of my survival. His presence was a lifeline in the abyss, a beacon of hope that permeated the darkness surrounding me. In that fleeting moment, I surrendered myself to his care, trusting in his words.

What unfolded next would become the stuff of legends, an epic tale of love, loss, and unwavering determination. True to his promises, he became our savior, my confidant, and ultimately, my lover.
