Chapter 7: Fairbridge
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The last few days of Jamie’s journey went without any more rescues. Fluff was able to hunt for himself and would sit on Jamie’s shoulder. Fluff would often meow in Jamie’s ear and Jamie seems to be able to understand what Fluff was saying. “You're a strange cat Fluff, but I am glad you here!” Jamie mused. She wanted to stay in the Forest, but she promised her Pa that she would go to her Uncle’s.
Jamie saw her Uncle Tyrone quite often until he remarried five years ago. His new wife and stepson looked down on Jamie's Ma and Pa.
Uncle Tyrone owned the only Pub or drinking establishment, as his new wife called it, in Fairbridge. The Pub was called The Crone’s Head and was located on the only main road in Fairbridge.
Fairbridge was a small town that was on a key road to the Capital City of Riverwell. The town survived on the travellers, but like everything else in the last few years, trade had died. Farmers and tradespeople use to make th

Jamie was about a quarter of the way home when she started to hear the bustle and panic of people. She turned her to find out what people were shouting about.“Get out of the way, the Lord’s horse is loose!” The Baker shouted.A battalion of men was camped on the outskirts of Fairbridge. They had gone to the plans of Arna to buy horses and dogs that would be trained for use in the army. Arna horses were intelligent and wild, both attributes made them incredible battle horses.

Two days later Sam sighed and looked down at the sound asleep red hair girl in the back of the medical cart. Of course, Lord Raoul ordered a private cart for her and has ordered Sam to guard it. Not only that, Sam had to inform the Lord as soon as she woke up! Sam knew that everyday sleeping beauty did not wake up, the higher the anxiety level in certain people became. Even the strange Black Cat seem to be getting worried! The Black Cat intermittently licked the girl’s cheek or whacked her on the nose with his paw in an attempt to wake up the girl. Most of the time the Black Cat just sat on Kitten’s chest and glared at anyone who came near. No one has dared try to remove the Black Cat, it was all a bit strange really! “

Lord Raoul POVWe arrived in the Capital in great time and I am honest it was great to be home. I had enough of the hard road for some time. I dismounted from a tired Black Winter and a stable hand took him away. The stable hand was surprised that he did not try his normal tricks, and I smiled as my thoughts turned to Kitten.I had to order Sam to take Jamie to my Servants’ Quarters. I wanted to give her a guest room, but Sam suggested Jamie might feel more comfortable in the Servant’s Quarters. I sighed and walked up the polished marbled stairs. The Servant bowed and led me to the King, who was in his private study. I knocked and opened a large oak door.The room was a medium-sized room, with bookshelves from floor to ceiling. The books were of different languages, some of which even I did not know! In the centre, was a large oak desk, where my old friend was sat down as he read some court papers.&
His Only Reward Chapter 14: Happy Birthday!
Three weeks later. Jamie was excited to get up this morning, it was her sixteenth birthday after all! Jamie had fully recovered from her ordeal and had spent time in either the Royal Kennels or Stables. The Capital itself was huge! Riversmeet was built around the meeting of two rivers: The River Strong and The Blackwell. The Blackwell had dark peaty water from the highlands of Riverswell. This created a dramatic effect when mixed with the light waters of The River Strong. Jamie hadn't had much time to explore the Capital, Lord Raoul would not let her out of the Palace grounds. Yet, her first impression when arriving stuck with her: the bright colours, exotic smells and the bustle of people. The Royal Palace itself was breathtaking. A large white castle with red slate roofs surrounded by a high wall. Insid

Jamie felt her heart break as she ran from Raoul’s office. She tried to be reasonable, but she could not. Raoul had been kind to her, nothing more. How could she be so foolish to think there was more? The women that had sucked Raoul’s cock was stunning, powerful and rich. “How could I even think of competing with her?!”She thought as tears filled her eyes. Jamie felt embarrassed and thought she did not have the strength to face him again. She called out to Windsoul to get ready for a ride, and she ran to the stables. When she arrived she was suprised to see not only Windsoul was saddled, but both Fluff and Amaethon were there. “We heard your distress sweetheart, you are not leaving alone” Amaethon said softly. Jamie did not bother arguing and picked up Fluff. Jamie placed him at the front of the saddle and she jumped up and said “Let’s go!” “Where?” WindSoul asked softly “Don’t really care,

Jamie, for the second time in 24 hours, woke up in a different place than when she went to sleep. When she stirred, she first noticed she was in a soft bed that was familiar. The second was that there wasRaoul’s large naked body next to her. His arms heldher tightly against him. Jamie tried to move out of his arms, but it causedRaoul stir from his slumber."Five more minutes, Kitten, before we start arguing," he said in a sleepy voice.

"Jamie did as She was told and soon felt her headache ease. The drink had a slight metallic taste to it. "What is this?" Jamie
His Only Reward Chapter 48: Shopping*
Jamie had cried herself to sleep the previous day. She could not believe the person she loved had brought up the fact that he had brought her for 20 gold pieces. Was that all she was worth to him? If it were not for the bond, would he have chosen someone else?Rose came into her room with Fluff. "Morning! How are you feeling?" She said cheerfully."Ok, I suppose." Jamie mumbled."Hmm yes, well, of course everyone knows about the argument you had with Raoul. So it is my mission to cheer you up today. So, how do you feel about going shopping? "Shopping? " Jamie said, confused.

Raoul panicked when he saw the empty room and rushed to find the doctor. He found him sitting in his office writing up some notes."Where is she?" Raoul asked angrily. "Ah, my Lord, good news! She awoke a few hours back and has made a remarkable recovery. It must be her water element coming back. The Luna has been discharged on the condition that she has plenty of bed rest and a proteinrich diet. " The Doctor said happily. Raoul relaxed a little. "So she is back at the pack house resting then?" The Doctor looked a bit uncomfortable. He really did not want to break the news that the Lord’s Luna

Jamie did not have any visions or dreams when she was out, a small mercy which she was thankful for. When she did wake up, she was in a light and airy medical room. She tried to move herself in a sitting position, but she felt every muscle in her body ache.Suddenly, Fluff jumped up on her bed, "Ah, you are awake!" He said happily. Jamie noticed that Sam was sleeping in a chair next to her bed. Her heart sank as she hoped Raoul would be there."He got called away by the King," Fluff said, obviously annoyed at the situation. "He's going to lose her if he doesn't be careful," Fluff reasoned.Jamie nodded sadly as she asked, "Care to catch me up on what I have missed?
His Only Reward Chapter 45 : Rescue
Somewhere underground Jamie was slipping in and out of consciousness. She hardly felt the cold anymore and she was so tired. She dreamed of being in Raoul’s arms. "Pathetic! Why do you rely on a man to protect you? You are so weak! You got yourself into this mess, you can get yourself out. Or are you just going to wallow in your own weakness and let this cock scum beat you again?" A cold voice said, inside her head. Just then, she heard the stone slab being moved. Every two hours, the guard would drag her out, beat her and then sling her back into the water dungeon. She had had six beatings so far, and was feeling incredibly weak at this point. Ironically, the cold water had helped with the swelling, but not so much with the broken ribs and the broken nose. The beatings had not been a wasted opportunity. Bit by bit, she looked around the room.

After an hour’s wait, Samreturned. He knew that sometimes the Luna stayed at the Elemental Guard Barracks, especially if her group were on serving duty or punishment chores. The omega had thought this was the case and reported it back to Sam."Ah yes, I think I remember something about that. Apologies Omega Archie, I must have got my days mixed up. Our Luna’s schedule changes frequently, "Sam said,and hethought nothing of it that night. Neither did an exhausted Raoul, who came into an empty bed. He also thought she must be at the barracks. "I need to spend some quality time with her soon. I have really neglected her as of late!" Roaulthought as he drifted off to sleep.The next morning, Rose and David noticed that Jamie was missing. "That is not like her," Rose said. "She loves sword skills!"David said, "Well, maybe she is ill. She has been looking extremely tired lately." Rose nodded her head in agreement.
