"Is something the matter?" the servant in front of me asked.
Immediately, I said, "It was nothing."
It took her a few moments to consider pursuing this conversation given my weird answer, but she ultimately decided it wasn't worth it before choosing to continue to lead me to whatever situation they had planned.
I would have breathed a sigh of relief if I didn't think it would make her stop to question me again. It would have been impossible for her to not hear me when we were this close together. That was something I didn't want with my nerves all over the place.
My mind drifted to Asa, whom I had left behind after being "persuaded" to leave her. After all, this servant insisted that it was no place for a baby and that it would be quick. They must

Willow Baker POV'We've been had.''What?''While this was probably not their objective, you're in quite a bit of trouble now. What will people think now that they see you covered in blood with a knife?'Obviously, they would think that I had just murdered someone in cold blood. It was what I would have thought if I were in their position. The evidence was clearly right in front of everyone.However, that wasn't what happened here. I didn't mean to kill her. It was purely an accident. I could have easily been the one to die instead of her. It was only through sheer luck that she ended up suffering the fall and taking a knife to the stomach.

Willow Baker POV"Asa," I said as I rushed towards Diana and Jason, who had her.She was sniffling, and my heart clenched as I feared the worse. Taking her from the couple, I whispered my apologies as I inspected her for injuries. There didn't seem to be any, but she might have been treated before they gave her to me.It would explain why they hadn't told me about her sooner. They must have wanted to keep me calm or keep me from seeing her injuries, but all I felt was overwhelming hysteria."Willow, I heard what happened. Are you okay?" Diana asked.Instead of answering her question, I demanded, "What happened? Why did you guys take so long to let us know that Asa was okay?"Jason frowned, but whatever he intended to say was stopp

Maverick Peterson POV'This is unbelieveable.''I'm just as shocked as you are. I would have never thought the staff that had been here for us for decades would betray us like this.'I gnashed my teeth together. To think we've had traitors lurking in the shadows the entire time. We wouldn't have found out about them if it weren't for Willow's insane plan to weed out those who wouldn't accept her and Asa.If we had simply fired all the servants, who knew how they would have reacted. In fact, our threat must have pressured them to attack Willow and Diana. The question would be why them.Willow's case was more clear-cut. Apparently, despite our attempts to integrate Willow as part of the family, many di

Willow Baker POVMy mind was still reeling from what had happened. Maverick and Jason had asked the two of us to stay behind with the knights as they went off to handle the situation. They intended to resolve everything today.I wasn't sure if that was actually possible considering how many servants lived in the grand duchy. However, I didn't pry into the matter as I had enough excitement for one day.Diana seemed to think the same thing as me as she relaxed next to me and rubbed her pregnant belly. I was glad to see that they were both safe too. If something had happened to them, I would never forgive myself.While Maverick had reassured me that it had nothing to do with Prerana or me, I couldn't help thinking that Diana wouldn't have been in danger if it weren't for my plan. They only got involved because I asked them to.Our knights stood at the sides to give us the illusion of space while being close enough to come to our aid if anything happened. Unsure of what to do now, I rocke

Willow Baker POVLuck was on my side, as nothing happened at all. Honestly, it was so boring waiting for the knight to return that I almost wished something would happen. Only almost, because I didn't want something bad to happen just because I was bored.The knight returned with some snacks, and he seemed relieved to see that nothing had happened while he was gone. I wanted to point out that we wouldn't do anything to cause trouble, but then I remembered the reason why we were in this mess.I instantly dropped my protests before I could voice them. Instead, I accepted the food the knight was offering to me. The smell made my mouth watered as I uncovered the basket to see what it had in store for me. There was some fresh bread.It was nothing special, but after starving myself for so long, anything

Willow Baker POV"You're safe," said Maverick as soon as our eyes met. Then he added, "Why do you have breadcrumbs on your face?"I didn't even get a chance to ask what he meant by the first comment when his second comment took me by surprise. Immediately, I touched my face to feel that there were breadcrumbs on my face, just like he said.Feeling betrayed, I stared at Diana, who didn't seem to realize why I was so upset. She could have at least told me that I had crumbs on my face. It was embarrassing to be seen with food stuck to my mouth.'What are you so upset about? It's just food.''They might mock me for not being able to clean up after myself.''Is that really what's bothering you?'It wasn't. I was just so anxious about everything that was happening that everything bothered me. Being caught with food stuck on my face wasn't something that would have normally had me acting this way.'Maverick and Jason are trying to resolve things while Diana and I are just eating and talking.

Willow Baker POVWhen she put it that way, I guess it made sense. If the mastermind was powerful enough to affect everyone in the grand duchy, they might as well just face the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess themselves instead of waiting it out like this.Unfortunately, this meant that we still had to investigate everyone and determine who the victims were and who weren't. Just the thought of trying to figure that out gave me a headache.So many people would try to claim that they were innocent to avoid being punished, and it would be difficult to sniff out the liars. I certinaly knew it would be impossible for me to tell who had been affected by the magic.Maverick said he only realized it during the fight, and even then he said he only sensed small traces of the magic by chance. Someone like me stood

Willow Baker POVSeveral Days LaterThe next couple of days were nerve wracking. While nothing happened to me or Diana, which I was grateful for, I heard plenty of horrible stories of what was happening outside our rooms.While it was boring to stay in our own rooms, it was better than going out into the war zone that was the grand duchy. Several people had gone completely feral, and Maverick had the unfortunate job of trying to figure out if it was the magic or not.Maverick and the others were trying to keep the news from slipping out of the grand duchy. If it did, things would get even uglier, but many of the servants had family outside the grand duchy.We couldn't keep them from writing letters to them or going to see them forever. Eventually, someone was going to get fed up and come up to the castle to demand to see their family. Once that happened, it would be complete chaos.It was actually a bit surprising that no one noticed anything with the bond going haywire. Maverick had

Luna's Revenge: Willow Baker's Marriage Request Author's Note
Hello everyone. I just want to thank all my readers, especially those who have been following until the end. It's been a long journey. In fact, I believe this book, from start to finish, took almost 7 months, which is a long time. Again, I'm grateful to have all of you.Now, onto what I intend to do next. I have several ideas, but currently I hope to start on Asa Peterson's story. It's going to be about Willow and Maverick's daughter, but with a twist.Instead of being a direct sequel to Luna's Revenge: Willow Baker's Marriage Request, it follows the first life after Willow dies and basically runs almost parallel with it. As such, there might be some spoilers, but it's not required to read both books. They're both standalones.I really hope to get this story off the ground. However, I do have other stories so we'll see how everything works out.Anyway, thank you all again for reaching the end with me. I hope that you all continue following me and have a great day.

Willow Baker POV A Year Later "Willow, are you ready?" Sheila asked as she, Maverick's mother, and Diana stepped into the room. As I stared at the woman in the mirror, I immediately said, "No." My arms shook as I said, "I really can't do this." "What's wrong?" she asked as she immediately rushed over to me. "I don't think I'm ready to get married," I said as I whirled around in my wedding dress. "Willow," Maverick's mother said as she took my hand. "You've already been part of the family for more than three years. We're only making sure you get the wedding you deserve." 'I can't believe I agreed to go along with this crazy idea. Why do we need to have a wedding when we're already husband and wife?' 'I don't have a clue either. You're the one who agreed to it when Maverick asked to marry you, and he even gave you a chance to back out.' I still had mixed feelings when I recalled that incident. It still boggled my mind that he had asked to marry me when we were already married, a

Willow Baker POV"Yes?" I squeaked.I mean, we were married, so I wasn't sure what he was talking about. However, instead of explaining himself, he smiled brightly at me. His smile blinded me and left me in a daze as he slipped the ring onto my finger.Feeling the metal on my finger, I quickly said, "Wait. What's going on?"His smile dropped as he said, "I proposed. Did you not want to marry me?""That's not what I meant," I said as I held both my hands up. "I mean, aren't we already married?""We are, but I want us to be properly married," he said as he stood up. "All we did was sign some papers and file them to formalize our marriage. I want us to have a wedding. It doesn't have to be big. It can just be us and our families or j

Willow Baker POVA Year LaterStaring up at the night sky, I smiled as I held Maverick's hand. I had used to be embarrassed about holding his hand, but now I found myself reaching out to him whenever I can."It's nice out," I said as we continued to walk through the garden.The only sounds were the sounds of the wind and whatever animals were out and about. Basking in the peaceful atmosphere, I still found it hard to believe a year had passed in the blink of an eye."It is," Maverick said with a smile, and he squeezed my hand."So, what is it you wanted to talk about?" I asked."What makes you think I brought you out here to have a talk?" he asked. "I could just want to spend

Willow Baker POVReaching out to the door, I opened it and was greeted by the sight of a gaunt Lesli. The putrid smell and poor condition nearly made me vomit as I covered my nose and mouth."Ah, Willow, you finally came. I was wondering when you would come," he said as he smiled at me. His smile fell when his eyes spotted Maverick right behind me. "Oh, you're here. I didn't ask for you.""I asked him to be here," I said as I held up my arm before Maverick could raise his voice.Lesli tilted his head to one side as he asked, "Why? Did you think I would do something to you?" When I didn't bother to give him a response, he raised his bandaged and chained arms up for us to see. "I can't exactly do anything to you right now.""I'm sure you'll find a way, but that's not

Willow Baker POVUnfortunately, the beautiful moment was ruined as a servant approached us. We stepped away from each other as Maverick frowned. They knew to leave us alone unless it was a serious matter."My apologies, your graces," the man said as he bowed. "The prisoner is acting up and demanding Willow's presence."There was only one person he could be referring to, but before I could say anything, Maverick said, "Willow will not be seeing him. I should have you punished for your insolence."The man quivered beneath Maverick's bloodlust. Asa squirmed at the sensation, but she didn't become upset like the last time she had been exposed to it. I wasn't sure whether I should be glad or upset.Reaching out to touch his shoulder, I said, "Maverick."

Willow Baker POVSeveral Days LaterLeaning back in my chair, I watched with a smile as Maverick played with Asa, who giggled loudly. For once, we were together not because someone had done something to make it happen, and I was quite happy about it.Maverick finally caught Asa, who laughed even harder when he raised her up into the air. She clapped her hands as they returned back to the table where I was sitting. Asa immediately reached out to me.Standing up, I took her from him, and we both settled down to enjoy the tea and snacks that had been left out. Asa tried to reach for the cookie I had, but I kept it out of arm's reach. She was far too young to be eating them.As I nibbled on the cookie while ignoring Asa's attempts to grab it out of

It was like being surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves, ready to pounce at any moment.Maverick scanned the room before standing. "Now that everyone is here, I believe there is something we need to seriously discuss." His face hardened as he said, "You all need to stop harassing us, especially Willow." Immediately, several people looked offended by his words, but he continued on, "This has gone on long enough.""Maverick, I believe you need to watch yo

Willow Baker POVA Few Weeks LaterAfter what had felt like centuries, I had finally kicked everyone out without being rude. I had thought that would be the end of it. Unfortunately, I had been wrong. I had been so very wrong.It seemed like a fire had been lit, causing the family to work even harder to ensure we were a proper couple. Well, at least the women were. The men had kept out of the whole exchange, and I wasn't sure how to feel about that.On one hand, it was better than having all of them gang up on me and Maverick. On the other hand, they weren't helping us and were choosing to stay on the sidelines. Rickey seemed to take particular glee at my suffering.'At least someone is enjoying themselves.'
