Blessed Moon

CHAPTER 5

        gulf woke up to an unknown glow and in an unknown bed, for sure. it has no bumps on its side like the bed that he is used to. the ceiling is so unfamiliar. it has no cracks. the smell, so clean. the scent... hmmm... rainforest and chocolates... yummy...

-seo report

(minutes after)

-rake all his dirt and shove it on his throat. i dont want to see him near gulf ever again. are we clear?

(click)

-mmmm

-gulf? gulf? hey, are you awake na?

-mew? (look around) where am i?

-youre in my penthouse

-penthouse? like in your house?

-yeah

-what am i doing here? why am i here? (tried to sit up but ended up being helped to lean on the headboard)

-did you forget what happen yesterday?

-yesterday? (gasps) dad?... (sobs)

-(hugged gulf on his chest) hush now love. i got you. he wont bother you again. i swear it.

-but...

-tell me love. is he always like that to you?

-no. hes a loving father actually. hes my adoptive father and one of the betas at the negros pack, which i am also a part of as per my adoptive mom's claim. i never knew who my real parents were since i was just been left on their doorstep when i was little. they treated me like their own since mom cannot bear her own pups due to her illness. when my mom passed away, dad slowly changed. i was nearing my graduation from college when he knew that mom left me a hefty amount of money solely for my education, thats when he started harassing me. at first it was just like for groceries or living expenses but eventually he just asks for more. i refused to give him any more than necessary since i needed the money for my projects and thesis, that is when he started beating me up, insulting me, groping and feeling me up until i gave him what he wants. my friend told me that dad was spending it for drugs and hes now drowning in debt due to gambling. that was my final straw. when he left for an emergency meeting at the pack house, i sneaked away and never looked back ever since. i dont know how he found me in my apartment and knew about my necklace... (gasps) my necklace... oh my god...

-calm down love... wait... (reached for his night stand drawer) is this it?

-oh my god... yes thats mine... this is my only memento from my real parents. my mom says it was on me when she found me.

-its moonstone right?

-right... i dont know why but the stone calms me (he closed his eyes basking on its ethereal warmth while caressing the stone to his face, he then glances to mew with his shining cerulean eyes)
