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.

    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

    Willow Baker POVAs if summoned, we heard the sound of the door opening, and Lonnie stepped into the room. I hadn't expected him to be back so soon, but I suppose it made sense that he would go far.If he left for the nearest town, it would take him hours to come back. Of course, that was assuming that the time I slept was shorter than the time it would take to travel back and forth.Lonnie immediately spotted me and said, "You're awake. You must have been so exhausted. Are you intending to head home now?"Before I could answer, one of the guards asked, "Head home? I thought you were going to bring her to the capital.""She declined," Lonnie said.'This bastard is really something.'Of course, he didn't tell them that I wasn't going to the capital. No wonder they were acting so friendly. They had thought I was going to become a citizen and were trying not to scare me off.The guards were giving me dumbfounded looks until one asked, "Hold on. If she isn't here to become a citizen, then

    Willow Baker POV'That bastard. So this was what he was up to.'Instead of saying anything, I groaned. The force that knocked me down wasn't that strong, but I had been caught completely off guard. I should have been more careful.As I sat up, I saw that the guards were rushing to my side. One asked, "Are you alright?""I'm good, I think," I said as I allowed a guard to help me to my feet. "What happened?""That would be the barrier," a guard said.I gave the man a look at the obvious answer. It was like he thought I was blind. Of course it was the barrier, but I couldn't understand why I couldn't leave when I entered just fine. They must have done something while I was asleep.Lonnie came running over and asked, "What happened? Is everything alright?" Then he spotted me and asked, "My lady, are you okay?"Out of the corner of my eye, I could see the confusion on the guards' faces. He really didn't tell them anything about me. Well, that wasn't what was important right now."I would b

    Willow Baker POVAs I was internally panicking over this revelation and wondering what I should do, Lonnie had gone off to get permission, which left me with the guards. The only good thing was that they were wise enough to leave me alone.'What do we do?''There's really nothing we can do in this situation. He has effectively boxed us in.''I should have never gone to see the man before he left. We wouldn't be in this mess if I hadn't.''Well, there's no point in crying over split milk.'We stopped talking as Lonnie approached and said, "I was able to secure permission.""That was fast," I said as I stood up."This is a serious situation, and the higher ups wanted to meet you," Lonnie said as he led us to where we would be teleported to the capital.The guards nodded their heads in acknowledgement as we stood in the center of the clearing. I stared down at the symbols on the ground. They looked nothing like anything I had seen before."Ready?" Lonnie asked.It was too late to turn ba

    Willow Baker POV'This is crazy. Are they saying that Asa is some kind of messiah?'The image was just unbelievable. She was just a baby. Well, she had turned one year old, but the point remained the same. I couldn't imagine what she could do to be considered such an important person to the Moon Goddess.'Could it be the Moon Goddess is talking about her heritage?''What do you mean?''Asa currently has the blood of all three races. Isn't it natural that the Moon Goddess would have her eye on her?''This isn't the first time it's happened before. It's just rare.''Exactly. It's rare, so it's worth taking notice.''Even if you say that, they make it sound like it's a big deal, and I have never heard the Moon Goddess taking notice in previous cases.''How would you know? Are you privy to such information?''No, but I would think people would want to brag about it.''Do you want anyone to know Asa is the chosen one?''No.''I rest my case.'My attention was torn away from her when the ma

    Willow Baker POVHonestly, it was hard keeping up with everything. It seemed like I was being hit by one world breaking fact after another. I wondered if this was a dream and if I was actually back in the castle about to wake up for the day.'I just have to wake up.''Willow, don't delude yourself. We both know it's real.''It was worth a try.'I sighed as I was forced to accept the fact that I was seriously caught up in a huge mess. To think that my return had such long lasting consequences. When I first woke up in my new life, I had never thought something like this would happen.'Focus. This isn't the time to lose my head. Their lives are on the line.'"Are you certain you have no clues to where they could be held?" I asked.The Grand Duke shook his head. "I'm afraid not."Either he was lying or he really didn't have any clue. Neither of these were good things. If it was the former, that meant he either didn't trust me with that information or there were people in the room he didn'

    Willow Baker POVI wasn't sure how to feel about all this. On the one hand, I was glad to hear he was here, even if I was annoyed that he was late. After all, it had almost been a day since I had been teleported away. I can't even imagine what took him so long.On the other hand, why was he threatening war? Haven't we been trying to avoid that?There was no way Higsnesia would take this lying down, especially when they technically did nothing wrong. I mean, while I did end up in the country like they wanted, they hadn't used force to make me come here.It was all a coincidence, no matter how absurd he sounded. Of course, I supposed Maverick wouldn't know this since I couldn't tell him what happened. Our bond was still blocked for some reason.In fact, it reminded me of a similar case. No, not just similar. It was exactly the same situation with the others. Maverick had said way in the beginning that what happened to the bond was unusual and the reason why he suspected they were alive.

    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

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.'
