Chapter 19: Will We Leave Today? Alpha King Caspian's POV: I wondered if she even knew she had a wolf. If she even had communication with her wolf. All at once, she turned to look away and when she did, I looked at the doctor who grabbed a syringe from the Aide standing next to her. The doctor started to inject a clear liquid into the line leading to her arm. After a moment, I gently started to lay her back down as one of the Aides helped by gently pulling on the sheet she was lying on. This allowed her feet to move back to a better position on the bed, without anyone having to touch her in my presence again. After I had her lying down, I let go of her as her eyes were still closed. I held onto the rail on the side of the bed. I wasn't sure what to think at that moment, but certainly had a lot going through my mind. 'No one touches Mate. She is our Mate. NO One Touches!' (Cash demanded for our Mate's safety.) 'No one is going to touch our Mate, Cash. The doctor put a sleeping agen
Chapter 20: Strange To Be ExpectedAlpha Roland's POV:I was glad when we finally reached the top of the stairs leading to the Dining Hall. If there was something I was looking forward to, it certainly was getting something to eat. I turned as I watched Duke reach my position on the top step, then he raised his hand out in front of him, gesturing for me to head on as long as I was ready. Duke liked to ensure he had my approval before we walked anywhere that was, and I agree. He was the kind of Beta I had always dreamed of having, one who ensures to show respect and knows who is the true Alpha of this pack.As we started to walk down the hall, I thought about everything that happened earlier. I was still bothered by the fact that I was almost run over by His Highness, carrying the one servant from the dining hall. I still wondered what it meant as to why He was carrying her in the first place. She could certainly walk all on her own, as she had never ceased to do it before. It still baf
Chapter 21: The Unexpected Surprise Guest Alpha Roland's POV: "Well, I was going over the monthly report of all the supplies and inventory," I started out by saying, composing my next thought. "You know the one where we have to gather anything needed so we can make it through the next month. That was when I happened to notice the number of supplies for the month went down since the end of the previous month." "Could it possibly mean the flux in numbers was just from a missed count on what was counted?" He asked, trying to think of an explanation. "You know, to think about it, you might recall numbers in the shorter months would be different. So maybe that would help to explain why some of the numbers might be off." I thought about what he said but it wasn't supposed to be a shorter month till the end of our current month. The previous month was not all that short but regular in the number of days. And if that was the case, then the number should be up, not down in a shorter month,
Chapter 22: When Can I Return Home? Maisie's POV: There it is again. I know I'm hearing that strange noise again, but I'm not sure what it is. I know it is coming from that strange box beside me, but what exactly does it mean? When I wake up, I'll have to try and keep quiet. I have not been punished yet and I am not sure when that is going to happen again. But I have to remember it can happen at any time. Am I still in the same place? The place I was before I woke up? I was trying to figure out a lot of things while still being confused. One question, for example, is why was the big scary man here earlier? I know it was Him because I remember hearing that same growl back when I was in the presence of Master. I remember hearing Him then, and then I heard it the last time I was awake. I heard Him growl when that woman touched me. Why? Why did He growl when she touched me? What did that mean? Was no one allowed to touch me other than Him? Was I not supposed to be punished by anyone els
Chapter 23: Never Allowed Personal PossessionsMaisie's POV:My Mother would take away anything I had that someone else liked or wanted. She once gave me nice fluffy socks. Well, they were really old but new to me. Then the next day, she came back by and took them away, giving them to my sister who liked them more than I did. She told my mother she deserved them more than I did. Anytime I recall getting anything, someone else wanted it more, so it got taken away from me. I never got to keep anything very long, even when it was given to me first. Well, I am not going to get used to this and then someone else takes it from me.I turned back to watch Him as He moved to grab the item I tossed away and again placed it on my stomach. I turned my head away quickly as I realized I had a tear fall from my eye at that moment He gave it back to me. I tried to reach up to wipe it away. However, when I reached for the tear, He reached for my wrist and grabbed it, stopping me from moving. No! He saw
Chapter 24: Where Can I Hide? Maisie's POV: Well, that was a big mistake. I was in a whole lot of pain and there was nothing I could do about it. I started to rub both of my knees as they were in a lot of pain. I did not realize it was that far to reach the floor. Well, that was on top of the fact that I found out I could not stand up on my own two feet. I needed to get away as quickly as I could. I looked at the wire coming from my arm and followed it to a small box. I also noticed another wire coming from something covering my face. I pulled on it and it came off fairly easy. It only covered part of my face. It was strange in color when I held it in my hands. It had strings hanging from it and even had air that came out of the hose that went over my nose. What was this for?! I dropped it as I looked at what the wired box was sitting on. There was a metal pole going all the way through the strange box. When I followed the metal pole back to the floor, I noticed there were several r
Chapter 25: No Place To Hide! Maisie's POV: In my room at home, I only had a simple sheet on my pad of a bed to cover myself up with at night. It was old and had a lot of holes in it. At night, it got really cold, but it was what I knew was mine as no one else wanted it. I was not allowed to have anything nice, no matter what it was. Even though I was sad most of the time, I still had a sheet to cover up with and a thin, plain pad to sleep on. Then during the day, I only had to worry about one outfit to leave my room to do my chores in. When the day was over, I would wash in the river if I got dirty and then do it again the next day, over and over again. That was my life, plain and simple. When I heard a notice, I leaned over just a bit so I could get a look under the hanging blanket. I noticed there was a set of feet right on the other side. I placed my hand over my mouth so I didn't make a sound as I sat up once more, waiting on them to leave and not come back. I felt better when
Chapter 26: The Tour Shall ContinueSentinel Trevor's POV:I was pleased with the reactions from our newcomers so far on this wondrous tour. However, I did wonder how they would take to their injection from the syringe gun which held the special capsule they would soon be injected with. It was a pretty impressive moment actually. The sound of it, when the capsule entered the skin, was nothing like any other regular ole' bolt gun. I looked over at one of the Sentinels standing by Mr. Stocky. They took that as their cue to maneuver his shirt down. It was obvious as he didn't want this to happen. I knew that as he tried to struggle against his restraints, but it was no use. They held him from five different points which made his struggle pointless. I even smirked as I chuckled when he did that."Why do I have to go first?" He scoffed as he asked, continuing to struggle, which was obviously no use."Well, I appreciate the question, however,..." I said with a bit of a pause. "Usually I woul
Chapter 61: Is This The Man? Alpha Hemming's POV: Just then, one of the men walking by all of us stopped walking and took a few steps back toward me. He again shined the light on my face and even seemed to lean over a bit so that he could look at me again. I still could not see his face as it was still shadowed by the top of the lantern. That was when the other two men who were walking with him, stopped and came back to stand around me as well. Did they see something? Did they know something I didn't know? They did not say anything but I could tell they were having a conversation among themselves. How is it that they could communicate with their wolves and yet I was not able to? Nothing was making any sense about what was going on at that moment, nor why any of this was happening in the first place. I tried to squint my eyes so I might be able to see at least one of their
Chapter 60: I'm Going To DieMaisie's POV:Anytime anything happened to me before when I was younger, my mother would never want to hear my side of what happened. The more I tried, the more she would take my sibling's side over mine on what happened. It made me believe even more that she didn't care about me. She really didn't care about me at all, the more I thought about it. Despite all of that, I really loved my mother. She was the only thing I had. Granted I had my siblings, but they never treated me like their sibling. I didn't understand that.One day I asked her about my father and why he wasn't around. She told me when I was really young, my father ran away cause he didn't want to deal with me. She said that I caused nothing but trouble for her and my father. I guess I didn't deserve to have anyone believe me when it came to the truth. I am not sure the re
Chapter 59: What Will Come of This? Alpha Hemming's POV: It was like I had a terrible pounding headache. All of a sudden I was starting to get feeling back in my extremities as I was starting to wake up again. As I was starting to get more feeling, it was at that point I realized I was bound by my wrists that were hung up over my head. This was not going in my favor and I was not sure what happened previously while I was out. All I remembered was being held in place with all the other pack members surrounding me before everything went dark. I do recall that they prevented me from breaking free of their grip. As for the one pack member who recognized me prior to this, he had his arm wrapped tightly around my neck. I guess he succeeded in his goal. It was at that moment I tried to open my eyes. When I finally managed to get my eyes open, as my eyelids were extremely heavy, I
Chapter 58: New Form of Punishment? Maisie's POV: This is not what I was expecting to happen when He took me into this strange room. The last time I was in the water laying down trying to wash myself, it was extremely cold and I could not feel most of my body parts when I finally got out. The strange oils He used on me had a funny smell to them as well. Especially when He used them on my body and on the top of my head. I had no idea what to expect from that whole experience. I really was not sure what to expect when He first placed me in the water, as it was not cold at all but warmer than my skin is most days. It was not at all what I thought it was going to be like. No wonder He was able to stay in the water for as long as He did. However, when He was finished doing what, He planned on doing, He wrapped me up in that small-shaped cloth and walked out of the room. This cl
Chapter 57: Must Control My EmotionsAlpha King Caspian's POV:I couldn't exactly blame him either. It was at that same moment a small growl was heard from the deep depth of my throat as well. When that happened, I watched as she flinched but still tried to remain still in her position. The last thing I wanted to do was to scare her. 'Try to be quiet or you'll scare her!' (I urged Cash as I studied her reactions.)'Kill. Must KILL those who did this to MATE!' (Cash almost yelled in my own head.)'I will tend to those soon enough. For now, we need to make sure she knows she's safe. I don't want to scare her as she was earlier when we first found her.' (I made sure to point this out to Cash.)"Are you ready to get into the water?" I asked her in a soft tone, just above a whisper.She nodded her head gently as I placed both of my hands
Chapter 56: Whole New Experience Indeed Alpha King Caspian's POV: As I continued to watch her looking deep into her eyes, I was desperately trying to search her soul. Trying to have her search mine, allowing her to see that I was not going to hurt her in any way, shape, or form. She then dropped her head, lowering her eyes down to the floor once, as if she was trying to look away from my gaze, not wanting me to continue to search into her soul. I took in a deep breath as I watched her for a moment. I, with my left hand, I took it off her shoulder, placing it gently on the underside of her chin as I slowly raised her head back up to where she could look at me again. I was still slouching in my position so that I could be on the same level as her. I didn't want her to have to strain her neck to look up at me, as I was definitely taller than her. I looked back at each one of her eyes for a mom
Chapter 55: All On Your Own Alpha King Caspian's POV: Before I had a chance to say anything back, she had already turned on her heels and started to storm off back down the corridor. I honestly can't help but shake my head at this current situation. I kind of almost chuckled to myself, as I watched her continue to walk down the corridor with her arms crossed in front of her. Technically she was the only one who was allowed to get away with the way she spoke to me. I overlooked it considering we didn't have our parents anymore. All those years ago, I would get on to her for talking to me in such a manner and my mother would constantly scold me. She would tell me that I should be nicer to my younger sister. Considering that our parents are long gone, I have overlooked her tone since that point, as I was harder on her when we were growing up. I turned around and closed the door
Chapter 54: Time To Get Her SettledAlpha King Caspian's POV:To say I had a lot of things going through my mind would be an understatement of all time. The fact I found my Mate was at the forefront of my mind, and of my entire existence. Knowing I now have her to protect and take care of makes me seriously wonder how things are going to change for me. However, there was also caution in that change. The fact remains, I have to wait till she's ready to tell everyone due to the conditions I found her in to start. The last thing I want to do is to overwhelm her with things I tend to do on a daily basis. When I know she could barely stand a room full of Aides at the Imperian Clinic. Still, that's just one of the numerous things I am going to deal with in the upcoming days.I looked down at her in my arms as we continued down the corridor heading to my chambers. She has not said anythin
Chapter 53: Ready To Get Settled?Maisie's POV:I tried to do as He said with my knees still pulled up to my chest. I even leaned slightly forward and raised my arms over my head some. He then placed the material around my head and arms. He then reached through the large opening and grabbed each one of my wrists and put them through the holes in the side of the delicate material. I have never felt material this soft before. This was certainly not what I was expecting. When my head came out of the hole and I could see again so I slowly lowered my legs, placing my hands in my lap. I looked around at the material that hung around my arms as it was hanging off both my shoulders. The item I wore daily did not have any, sleeves. If that is what they called them. I guess I could say that it was, well, sleeve-less?!"Very nice," He said as He stood back a moment to look at me.
