Several Hours Later
How did I end up in this situation?
I didn't dare to move as Maverick practically crushed me with his weight. Sir Kerry had abandoned me as soon as Maverick made his appearance, and I wanted to call him out for being a coward for not helping me.
'I don't get how this happened. Is he sick or something?'
'He's probably exhausted from all the work he's been doing.'
Immediately, I felt guilty for getting annoyed with Maverick crashing on top of me in my bed. I was still upset and annoyed that he did this, but he was obviously not in his right mind when he pulled this stunt.

Willow Baker POVSeveral Hours LaterMy head was throbbing, and Asa was babbling for me when I woke up. Maverick was still on top of me, fast asleep, much to my displeasure. I instantly knew it wasn't going to be a good day if this was how my day was going to start.I would have liked to sleep more, but Asa obviously needed attention right now, and Sir Kerry wasn't around to help me out. He must still be standing guard outside, waiting until Maverick left before he could enter again.Groaning and squirming, I failed to get Maverick off of me, and I cursed my weak body. I was going to start training as soon as Maverick left. Sir Kerry could help me and supervise my training since he was a knight.'Haven't you been sayi

Willow Baker POVMaverick snarled at Sir Kerry like he was some kind of beast and looked ready to lunge at him if he came any closer. Sir Kerry quickly backed off to avoid upsetting Maverick further, but remained inside the room instead of trying to flee.If I were in his place, I would have been long gone. This didn't appear to be good enough for Maverick, who got to his knees as he was ready to step off the bed. Unsure of what was happening, I clung to Maverick's waist in an attempt to stop him.I wasn't sure what was going on or if my attempt would do anything, but I had to at least try. We couldn't have him attacking Sir Kerry for no reason. We were already short on staff as it was, and we didn't need him to take out my personal knight."Maverick, you can't do this. Snap out of it," I said.With my eyes shut, I had to rely on my other senses to figure out what was going on. I could feel Maverick's muscles flex beneath my finger tips. Somehow my hands had slipped underneath his clo

Willow Baker POV"Maverick," I said, only to receive a grunt in return.I couldn't believe this was really Maverick. If he was aware of how he was acting, I was sure he would be embarrassed at his behavior. It was hard to imagine someone like Maverick acting so differently because he was tired.Was this what he was secretly like?As soon as I thought of this, I immediately discarded it. There was absolutely no way that was true. That was plain ridiculous. It was like saying a cat was a dog just because it somehow managed to bark once.Such an occurrence would be eye catching, but it wouldn't automatically mean much in the long run. What mattered right now was that I had several things I needed to attend to, and not all of them were things I wanted Maverick to be in

Willow Baker POVMy cooking skills had been slightly improving, thanks to Sir Kerry's help, but I was no chef. I wouldn't be able to cook anything remotely close to the fancy meals that were produced every day in the kitchen.The mere idea of comparing our skills would be an insult to the cooks who worked tirelessly in the kitchen. Of course, most of the meals recently have been of a simpler and plainer sort since that day.Since Maverick had only inspected the essential staff, there weren't that many people running the kitchen. If I remembered correctly, there was currently only one cook and maybe one person to help carry the meals.It made sense that Maverick should worry more about the staff that had access to sensitive information, but it gave the few staff that were working more work. I hadn't

Maverick Peterson POVThe moment I woke up, I felt oddly refreshed for the first time in a long time, which automatically set off alarm bells. There was no reason for me to be feeling relaxed when I had a large amount of work to complete.As I sat up, I wondered how much time had passed. Even if Jason knew the duties involved in running the grand duchy, it wasn't something he could handle on his own. I needed to return right away.That's when I noticed something off about the room I was in. It was most certainly not my bedroom. I was able to tell right away by the scent and the crib that it was Willow's bedroom. Befuddled, I wondered how I ended up there.'Shadow, what happened?''If you're wondering how

Willow Baker POVI didn't expect Maverick to be awake when we returned to my bedroom. It hadn't been that long since we left to cook breakfast. At most, it had been maybe half an hour. If we wanted to push it, maybe an hour.Maverick seemed to be acting normally this time, which was a relief. I wasn't sure I would be able to handle him trying to attack Sir Kerry again for no reason. Last time, I had been lucky not to get caught up in it. This time I might not be so lucky."How are you feeling?" I asked as I watched him for any signs that he might relapse into whatever weird state he had been in."Fine," he said as Sir Kerry set the tray of food on the table.He wasn't glaring at Sir Kerry for getting close, so that was a good sign. Hopefully, Maverick would eat his

Willow Baker POVThe problem was that he was refusing to look in my direction. I was glaring at him, but he kept his eyes pointed away from me. It was like he was purposely trying to avoid eye contact with me.Who wouldn't do that, right?"Actually, I'm quite curious about how you three spend your day," said Maverick.Even though there was nothing off about his words, I couldn't help but feel like this was some kind of trap. If either Sir Kerry or I answered wrong, it would have disastrous consequences.Sir Kerry seemed unbothered by what Maverick said, so I had to be imagining things. If it was as bad as I thought, then he would also be bothered like I was. Maverick was just interested in what we did while he was busy.Actually,

Willow Baker POVTwo Days Later"Maverick wants to meet with you," said Sir Kerry.I stared blankly at my personal knight, hoping I had misheard him. There was no way Maverick wanted to see me right now. He was busy cleaning house and wouldn't have time to see me. The only way he could be free was if he was done with his work.Maverick did say that he would be finished within a week, but it had only been two days since we last met. There was no way he could have finished everything in that time.It's ridiculous, right?Sir Kerry cleared his throat, waiting for my response. "He wants to see me now?" I asked.At his nod, I had no choice but to consider the possibility that Maver

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

Willow Baker POVSeveral Hours Later'As you were saying.''I still say it isn't bad.'Of course, she would say that. She wasn't the one who had to endure all the stares as I sat next to Maverick. 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.'
