The Moon and The Ocean

CHAPTER 17

Moon reached near the lake and stopped. He punched a tree with his full strength and the tree fell on the ground. Moon's eyes were red with both anger and sadness. It was difficult for him to make a decision. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to talk with someone about it but he was afraid that they would suggest him to do something he didn't want to do. He kept it all secret from Ocean, he didn't want to pull her in his mess but Mr Samuels blurted it all out in front of Ocean. He knelt down on the ground, tears rolled down his cheeks and he cried silently upon his misery. His gaze was on the ground and he kept crying.

Ocean reached the lake side a bit later. She looked at Moon and her heart ached seeing him cry. A tear from his eye fell on the ground when Ocean ran to him and wrapped her arms around him. He quickly wrapped his arms around her as well and he cried his pain out. She sat down on the ground and Moon buried his face in the crook of her neck. She rubbed his back soothingly in circular motion. After a few minutes, Moon felt a bit better. He broke the hug and she wiped his tears with her soft fingers. She then sat on his lap and held him close to her.

Ocean: If you will not tell me what's troubling you, how will I help you? Moon, I know till now I was the one who needed your help and you were always there to help me. Then why can't I help you when you need it.

Ocean tried to convince him. He looked at her with his still red eyes. He closed his eyes and leaned his head over her shoulder. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Moon: I don't even know where to begin. I don't know anyone in this world. I'm all alone, Ocean.

His voice cracked at the word "alone."

Ocean: You are not alone. Tell me what's bothering you?

Moon: My parents are not my biological parents. The people you saw in school, Mr and Mrs Samuels. They are my biological parents. They want to take me with them. I can't believe Ma and Pa had lied to me. Even Zeus never told me that I wasn't their blood. I have no idea what to do.

Ocean: Tell me one thing, have you ever felt in your life that Mr and Mrs Kart aren't your parents? Had they ever even scolded you for something?

Moon: No, they never did anything that would make me think that they are not my real parents.

Ocean: Moon, you might not be their blood but they love you more than they love Zeus. They have pampered you more than him. Even Zeus took all the responsibilities so you can enjoy your life as you want. He looks after you like a big brother. You told me, there were so many nights Mrs Kart had sat beside you all night because you had suffered from insomnia. Moon, it's not necessary if they are your blood or not. They raised you, fed you, cared for you, they had spent many sleepless nights because of you. They have supported you in every single decision you have taken in your life. And your biological parents, where were they when you couldn't sleep. When you had lost your smile. When you felt sick. Where were they for 17 years. Now they are claiming you and want you to go with them. Moon, this decision is very easy for you. The only people who have struggled with you for 17 years, they are your Ma and Pa and Zeus. Go and tell them that you belong here with them. You are hurt because they are hurt, because some strangers came into your life saying they are your real parents. Doesn't mean it will change everything. You are not alone. You have you ma, your pa, your brother Zeus and me.

Moon smiled and kissed her cheek.

Moon: You are amazing, Ocean. I don't know what I would have done if you were not here with me to help me out of this problem.

He stood up and scooped her up in his arms. He held her bridal style. She quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and he zoomed back home. In a few seconds they were standing in front of Moon's

mansion. He grabbed her hand and pulled her into the mansion.

Zeus: He doesn't belong to you. Get out of his life or I will kick you out.

Zeus growled at them.

Kevin: Boy, I told you before to keep your voice down.

Moon: You can't tell our Alpha to keep his voice down at his own house.

Linda: My boy, you came back.

Moon: Keep your hands to yourself Mrs Samuels. I have made my decision. They are my family and I belong to them, not you. They were here for me whenever I needed them, not you. They loved me, cared for me and supported me, not you. So why don't you do me a favor. Go back where you came from, because I don't think you can try to force me to take me with you. Because believe me, I am more dangerous than my brother Zeus. Am I right, Ma?

Maria: Absolutely son.

Maria replied with tears in her eyes. Moon went to his mother and pulled her in a bear hug. Kevin glared at Ocean and she quickly hid behind Zeus. Zeus stood in front of Ocean like a protective wall and glared at Mr Samuels back.

Zeus: Now I think we all heard Moon loud and clear. So how about you both get out of my territory and never show us your faces again or else, I can't promise what I will do to you.

Zeus said and Mr and Mrs Samuels looked at Moon. He was happily hugging his parents. They looked at Ocean one last time and left. Zeus patted Ocean's head and pulled her in a brotherly hug. He broke the hug and Maria walked towards Ocean.

Maria: You are a pure blessing for our family by God. You gave us our Moon back once again.

She said and pecked Ocean's forehead lovingly. Ocean's cheeks turned pink along with the tip of her nose. She nodded her head and smiled cheekily.

Moon: if you are done with her, can I take her with me?

Zeus: You don't have to ask brother.

With that Moon grabbed Ocean's hand and pulled her to his bedroom. He locked the door and took her to the bed.

Ocean: What are you doing?

Ocean asked when she noticed Moon peeling off his shirt.

Moon: You are in big trouble today Miss Knight. You solved my problem today. Now I want to shower you with love and kisses. Prepare yourself.

He said with a smirk on his face. She laid on the bed and he laid upon her, carefully. He pinned her wrist above her head and she smiled. He leaned in and rubbed the tip of his nose with her neck. She shivered with his touches and he grinned.

Moon: You are the bright light of my life. You show ways out of my problems. And I can't wait to make you mine.

He whispered in her ear and kissed her forehead.

Kevin: We are sorry Young Master, but we couldn't do it.

Young Master: Tell me something new. You were given the opportunity to prove your loyalty to me. The task was simple to bring him to me and yet you came back empty with hands.

Linda: It was his foolishness, Young Master that we couldn't get him here. Give us another chance, I promise, we won't fail you again.

Young Master: I grant only one chance to everyone. You failed to complete the task, now bare the consequences.

Kevin: No Young Master, please. Give us another chance.

Young Master: Edmond, take them both and hang them before the sun comes up. I want to enjoy the flames of these failures today.

Edmond: Yes Young Master.

Kevin: No Young Master please.

Linda: We won't fail you again, please Young Master.

Young Master: He is smart, not a fool like his father. I promise you father, I will bring him here for you. You will kill him and then you will get all your powers back. I can't wait to see you, father.
