His Mermaid Luna novel Chapter 7

I look into his eyes, which were pitch black, and I see them slowly fade to the familiar green color I seem to see so much of lately.

In the blink of an eye, the disturbing sound I heard from the bathroom returns and the wolf in front of me turns into the man I saw in the bathroom.

The man reached out and grabbed my hands, which were wrapped around myself but he held them in his hands in a tight grip while I thrashed in his arms trying to get away. I didn't notice until now, but he was...well...in his birthday suit.

I sealed my eyes shut, refusing to look at him.

"I'm not going to hurt you." The man repeated what he said earlier in his deep, rough voice.

I didn't respond.

I made a split decision and jumped up from the floor and tried to run away. He had ahold of my arms, and didn't let go, but pulled me down into his lap when I tried to run. I thrashed in his arms, but he held me tight against his chest and the more I thrashed the tighter he held on.

"I'm not going to hurt you. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm not going to hurt you."

The man kept repeating the words as I continued to thrash in his arms, my silent tears now full on sobs.

After a few minutes of thrashing, I gave up and went limp in his arms, knowing I'd never get out. I put my hands on my face and cried, my body shaking from my hard sobs. The man rubbed a hand up and down my back, whispering in my ear.

"It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm not going to hurt you."

After all my tears were all dried out, I just sat still, trying to control my hiccups I got from crying so hard.

Well, this is it. I'll never find my family again, I'll be killed, raped, or even worse tortured by this strange man and I'll never go home. My family will never know what happened to me, I-

"Are you okay?" The man asked, interrupting my thoughts.

I said nothing but stared at the wall across from the room.

The man held me out at arm's distance, before using his one hand and lifting my chin up, forcing me to look at him. I stared back at his gorgeous face as he stared at my tear-stained face as well.

"I can explain everything." The man said.

I didn't reply but instead looked away.

The man grabbed my chin with his hand again and made me look at him.

"I know it seems strange now, but once I explain you'll understand, I promise."

I said nothing but just stared at him.
