Willow Baker POV

"You're saying that they attacked the Grand Duke, the Grand Duchess, and your fake parents because they were looking for you, but why?" Mildred asked. "It seems farfetched for them to be interested in you when they shouldn't have known about you having angel blood in the beginning."

'We're screwed.'

Winter was right. I had completely messed up by waiting to talk about what I had said to Higsnesia's representative. When I had started talking about the reason why Higsnesia had attacked them, I had realized it had contained sensitive information.

Mildred didn't know about me reliving my life a second time, and I had no intention of telling him either. It wasn't something I was comfortable doing given our interactions together.

However, I had no other way to explain why Higsnesia would want me. I couldn't think of an excuse that would sound realistic and that Mildred would believe after I had already failed to bring it up right away.

Glancing at Maverick, I tried to give

    Maverick Peterson POVAfter Willow had retired for the night and I had promised to make sure Asa was put back into her crib, I made my way to where Higsnesia's representative was being kept.While I could have returned back to where the guests were despite telling them I wouldn't return, I wasn't in the right state of mind to entertain them. Jason and Diana would surely do a good job keeping them distracted.I stopped in front of the knights guarding the room where he was being detained and asked, "What has he said?"What they told me matched what Willow had said, though some parts had been cut out, and the man had emphasized that he had meant no harm to Willow and that there had been a misunderstanding. It was exactly as we suspected.If that was the story he was sticking with, my hands were tied. However, even if he was telling the truth, I still couldn't forgive him for hurting Willow. The knights stepped aside so I could enter.The man glanced in my direction and said, "Greetings,

    Willow Baker POVSeveral Days LaterToday was the day that the man would be returning back to Higsnesia. The very thought made me nervous, as I hadn't spoken with him since that day, and I had no clue what would happen now.Originally, I was supposed to convince the man to agree to return the others and prevent a war from happening. Of course, that hadn't happened, and I was left worrying over what our next course of action was.The only good thing I could say about what happened that day was that there were no other incidents and that Rose was humiliated. Prerana ended up sending me a formal apology for what Rose did.It must have hurt their pride to do it, but they had to do it if they wanted to avoid issues with other countries. The Kingdom of Burdubia had also put pressure on them too if Mildred's information was accurate, which I had no reason to believe otherwise."What do I do now?" I muttered as I placed my face in my hands."Your grace?" someone asked, and I looked up.My per

    Willow Baker POV'Can I kill him?''Not yet.'"Do you know where we are?" I asked the man.Since Maverick had sent him here, I was counting on it being somewhere in the grand duchy and that the man would know where we were. If that was not the case, then I was definitely in deep trouble.The man frowned as he studied the surroundings before saying, "I believe that this is near the border."There was no need to ask him what border he was referring to. Out of the three borders, I had seen one of them, which was near Prerana, and it didn't make sense for us to be near Omacum."We should get moving," he added."Why should I listen to you? The reason I'm in this mess is because you decided to kidnap me," I said."It's not a good idea to stay out here, and I know the way to the nearest town," he said.'Don't listen to him. We just have to wait for Maverick to come to us.'Winter was right. Any minute now, Maverick would teleport right to our location. The original panic and worry I felt fad

    Willow Baker POVThat didn't mean I was going to let this slide. No matter how well meaning he was or how much he cared about me in his own twisted way, it didn't change the fact that I was in this mess because of his actions.As we traveled, I studied my surroundings, committing them all to memory. It wasn't much, but there wasn't much else for me to do. Talking with the man felt awkward after everything that happened, and there wasn't really much for us to talk about.We didn't have anything we could talk about outside of the issue between the two countries. However, we had already talked about it before. I didn't think talking about it again would make any difference.It would just be us repeating the same thing again, or he would avoid answering my questions. I supposed I could ask him about himself and see if he was willing to tell me anything.'What? Are you going to ask him what his favorite color is?''I'm just coming up with some ideas.' After some more walking, we finally s

    Willow Baker POVMy answer seemed to surprise the man as he stared at me with wide eyes. I couldn't see why he was shocked. He should be happy that I was going with him, unless he expected me to resist the idea.In that case, it made sense. I would have rejected the idea if he had brought it up and Winter hadn't convinced me otherwise.Recovering from his shock, he said, "It's this way."We followed the road in the direction he pointed. I was beginning to get thirsty, but I tried to ignore it. Once I returned, I was going to drink as much water as I wanted, so I just needed to be patient.The man walked much slower compared to before, so he was only a few steps ahead of me. He seemed to have picked up that I was more tired than I was letting on. It was quite embarrassing that I had no stamina for walking.That was another thing I needed to improve when I returned. Our efforts were rewarded when, after several minutes of walking, I could see the border in the distance.How do I know?I

    Willow Baker POV"What do you mean he won't be coming?" I demanded as I backed away from him.My heart was pounding in my chest as I considered my situation. I should have known things wouldn't turn out that simple. The whole spiel about not lying had been a huge lie since things had turned out like this.Of course, I wasn't completely blameless. I had been the one to assume nothing bad would happen once I reached the border and that the man would leave without any complaints.'Let me take over. I can at least run faster than you can.''Not going to attempt fighting him? It's unlike you.''I would if I could, but I'm not stupid. Since we're so close to the barrier, it's possible the guards would help him subdue us. I know better than to attempt taking three at once.'Winter had a good point. If we attacked the man, he could easily call for help, and the guards would come to save him. Fleeing was the right choice to make in this situation, but there were several problems with it.One o

    Willow Baker POV"Follow me," the man said, drawing my attention away from the guards. "There's place nearby that the guards use to rest."As I reluctantly followed him, I asked, "Why are we not going to town?""I'm afraid that the closest town is about thirty miles away," he said.'That's not bad compared to the other town, but it's still pretty far.'I was surprised that he didn't insist we keep going and make me exhaust myself. It would be the perfect excuse to tire me further, so I would have no way to resist him at the end of the trip.Of course, I didn't push him on why he wanted to stay here instead of going to the town, so as not to give him any ideas. It was best to keep going along with whatever he said, as it was already too late to turn back.His words were proven right, as it didn't take long for us to reach an outpost. There were several other guards who looked up at our approach, but they also had the same reaction as the previous guards.'Did one of them just roll thei

    Willow Baker POVA Few Hours LaterWhen I opened my eyes, I berated myself for actually falling asleep. I had only intended to rest my eyes or, at most, take a nap. However, I clearly must have slept a few hours as the sun was beginning to set.How could this have happened? Was I really that tired?'Get up.''What's the matter?''Just hurry.'Slightly worried, I quickly got out of bed and quietly made my way out of the room. Peeking around the corner, I saw that some of the guards were eating and drinking, but I didn't see the man who had been guiding me."Another boring day," one of the guards said. "I don't understand why the Grand Duke insists on having guards posted here when we have a barrier.""You're the new guy," another guard said."How can you tell?" the first guard asked."You wouldn't be saying stuff like that if you knew the reason," a different guard said.The first guard put his drink down as he said, "Oh, come one. Just tell me.""It's to make sure nothing goes wrong w

  • 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."

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

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.'
