Chapter 101: Shunned For EverythingAlasia's POV:What's wrong with me? Why do I feel this way? I know there is something wrong as I have never felt like this before. I sat there in the chair while he was standing up in front of me wondering what he was going to do next. Why does he not just shun me for everything that I have done wrong? I know I am not worth this much effort. My stepfather told me no one would ever want to take care of me so why is he still trying? Now, I have ruined his food. So he should just throw me out. That way I could at least save my little brother from my stepfather and the horrible fate that is about to happen to him. That way, if I at least know he is safe then I won't be as worried about him. I would rather Brazen be here with me rather than him being there with my stepfather. If I can recall correctly, the night before he brought me here, I believe he said that he wanted to make enough in order to move away. If that was the case, then why d
Chapter 102: I'm So AshamedAlasia's POV:I could not believe I was not able to stand on my own two feet. He was certainly going to throw me away after this point. He just didn't want me to be drug out of the room which is why he picked me up in the first place. At that point, the voices around me that I could hear were a bit muffled as if I was partly awake. It was almost as if I was under the water when someone else was talking around me. Why was I not able to hear what they were saying exactly, it was like they were right there and all. The more I lay there in his arms, I tried to focus on his words as he was speaking to someone else. At one point, I even tried to open up my eyes but I was not able to do so. What was wrong with me? I should be so ashamed for causing a scene during the roast he said we were already late too.After some time, I felt myself being laid down on something soft once more. During all of this, I still felt like I was burning up though. I am not s
Chapter 103: I'm So Confused Alasia's POV:I had no idea what she just said. What did any of that mean? I was the daughter of a Warrior? What kind of Warrior was I supposed to be the next in line of? The age of when? None of what she said made any sense to me and I was just supposed to believe what she said like it was the truth the entire time I was alive. I have never heard my mother mention anything about our past or where we all came from even when she was around. I just know that five years ago when I was eleven she left one day and never came home."I do not understand," I said as I sat down in front of her and she even lowered herself to her knees. "I'm so confused. I do not understand what you mean. What do you mean that I am a Warrior, or you were a Warrior and I am your princess too?""My daughter," she said as she placed both of her hands around my face once more. "When the one man touches you, do you get a feeling in your skin that says you want him to touch yo
Chapter 104: The Unexpected QuestionRameric's POV:I knew she was seemingly under some pent-up stress within her own head but I had no idea it was this much to cause her to pass out. She did not like the drink she was provided and I am guessing the taste made her spit it out in a swift manner. I could not help it as I smirked thinking about that memory. I did not see it but I certainly heard it from behind me when I was talking to the others. When I turned around, I took the goblet from her hand and took a drink to make sure there was no issue with its contents. It was sweet and tasted fine. However, I do not think she was used to anything like that so she got rid of it the fastest way she knew how. Earlier when she stood up as I held onto her hands, she was only able to walk a few steps before she collapsed right there on the elevated platform. I am not sure what caused that to happen but I also wasted no time in gathering her frail body up in my arms as I held her close to
Chapter 105: Not Right Now!Rameric's POV:I had to say I was not expecting to see my pack act in the manner in which they did when my mate passed out in my arms during the evening roast. That was not what I was expecting to happen at all. I was not expecting for them to be so accepting of the fact that I found my mate. I had not had the opportunity to inform them as I wanted to find out what Fate had in store for her first. I wanted to know why Fate chose her to be my mate after she was sold to my pack as a slave, a worthless and insignificant human. There was a lot about this that I did not know or understand why Fate did what she did. I needed to find out those answers and first needed to make sure as to the answers before I informed my pack. What would they think of me if they found out she was just a meaningless human slave?I made my way through the aisle of pack members as I walked through the Main Hall. I was shocked they were so accepting of her in this state. Well,
Chapter 106: Sorry For What?Rameric's POV:I stood there in shock at my mate lying there passed out on my padded slumber. What was I going to do when she came into her heat? I had seen what it did to other wolves before and they were sent to a different area when the females came in. It was a rough time for either party in fact. I knew a Mate's Heat was a powerful thing but to be a Lycan and have my mate go into heat would be the test of all time for me. I have never had that kind of a Mate Attraction before. From what I understood about the Mate Attraction itself, it was a pretty powerful thing. The Mate's Heat, on the other hand, was nothing to be compared to it though. I sat down on the side of my padded slumber as I was not sure what else I could do. At that moment, I felt a rumble in my abdomen so I stood back up and walked over to the tray that menial left behind. I guess I could grab something to devour while I waited. When I reached the tray, I lifted the lid and
Chapter 107: How's That Possible?!Rameric's POV:As I continued to sit there, leaning over her as I was with her looking back at me, thinking about her words, I was shocked to think about one thing. How's that possible?! I mean, what could that possibly mean? How was it even possible for a weak and insignificant human slave to have an ability like the one she just described? Well, she was my mate after all and Fate knew what she was doing when she designed us to be together, even though I had yet to figure out what that was yet. But that still did not explain how she knew something was going to happen if it had yet to happen. She would have to be a seer of some sort to have the ability to see what had yet to happen. Well, I knew that certain werewolves had various special abilities but that could not be right. She was not supposed to be a werewolf. Not from everything that I knew already, or was I somehow wrong in the information we were given? At that, I recalled what Gla
Chapter 108: Will He Help?Alasia's POV:I could not help it. No matter what I tried to do, I could not stop the tears from falling knowing that I might not be able to save my little brother. What was I going to do with myself if I could not get to him in time? What was Brazen going to do when he found out that I was not there to help save him from our wicked stepfather, one who could do such a thing? I mean, he already sold me off as a slave to fund his drinking habits. He already lost his previous job cause he could not walk straight and do the tasks he was supposed to do, and now he sells me and is going to kill Brazen!? I could not stand for it. Now I was faced with asking Rameric for help. The question is, will he help me? Will he actually help save Brazen from a man he does not know? Why was I placed in such a situation where I was forced to deal with all of this within my own head? I rolled back over as I let the tears fall once more. I had no plan of trying to sto
Vladic Regime's POV:When we walked over to the table, I ensured Sir Lavion had her take a seat where her position would be with her back facing Brookli's position. The last thing I wanted was for her to see my daughter before it was the proper time to do so. Until it was absolutely necessary, that is. Once she took her seat and was seemingly comfortable, despite her nervous posture, I took my seat on the opposite side of the table. I then turned my attention to one of the maidservants standing there just inside the doorway of the room they had entered from. They had not been dismissed, so they knew not to leave my presence unless they were told to do so. "You there," I spoke using a tone that I only used when calling the servants. Once I gained all of their attention, I looked back at the young lady and said, "Go and grab her a glass of water." She even turned around to look at all three women to see which one of them would be brave enough to move. When she looked back at
Vladic Regime's POV:I walked into the little cottage and took a quick look around. I was extremely displeased with the fact that not only was she not in sight. She was nowhere to be seen. From my understanding, she was supposed to be waiting here for us. Or, so that is what I understood. When the front door was closed once again, I turned around and looked at Sir Lavion."Where is she?" I questioned him, trying to keep my tone at a lower volume. The last thing that I wanted was to frighten her more with my powerful aura as I was trying to inquire as to her position if she was there somewhere."I understand your frustration, sire. Rest assured, she is in that room over there," Sir Lavion mentioned."What is she doing in the other room?" I asked, turning back to face him once more and furrowing my brows at him."Well Sire, she was injured and quite dirty upon her arrival," he started to say as he walked around me to stand over by the door she was behind. "Even the clothing she
Vladic Regime's POV:I paced back and forth in my office, occasionally, looking out the window. I had wondered how long it was going to take before Balmerian got back to me, letting me know that his work was completed, and we could move forward with my plans. I looked forward to finally ridding myself of a long awaited enemy. However, I would have to wait until the proper time to do it. The question is how exactly would that task be accomplished? I was so lost and thought to the point that I did not hear when someone knocked at my office door. When I had yet to respond, the door suddenly opened slightly, allowing Emeric to poke his head inside, trying to see where I was. As he watched me, he saw that I was still focused and had yet to notice his presence.Just then he cleared his throat as he said, "Sire?"At that moment, I turned around to face him as I was now hovering above the floor before I said gruffly, "What?! Can you not see that I am busy with thought!?""That's just
Alasia's POV:This little cottage was even cuter on the inside. I have to say, from the outside, you would not expect it to look like this on the inside. Whoever did their carpentry work did an immaculate job on it. They definitely had some skills if they managed to do all of this. If I compared the little hut I used to live in with this one, this one would be a complete castle compared to the nature of that little hut. This little cottage even had nicely made wooden floors too. It was very well done and very well tended."Good afternoon, Sir Lavion," said a young woman who opened up the door when he got close enough. "It is a pleasure seeing you again. What brings you ..." "Fetch hot water," said the man as he walked in the door. He even made sure to take extra care in turning me to the side, making sure I would not hit the posts of the door. "I had already sent for Balmerian. He should be here before too long.""Very good, sir," she said as she closed the door again. "I
Alasia's POV:I'm just not sure what to say at this point. Why is everything happening to me? First of all, why did that lady do what she did? And why did the horse bring me here? However, should I stop this man from trying to help calm it down? It did seem to get out of control, and I was to the point where I didn't know what to do. I sat there on the seat holding on to the reins as this man came up and placed his hands on either shoulder of the horse, helping to soothe its temper."Here now, easy boy," the man said, rubbing his hand gently along the horse's neck. I still held the reins very tightly as I was in complete shock at what just happened. My arms and legs felt like they were on fire with the sensation of being thrown onto the rocks on the side of the path. When the man had finished with the horse, he grabbed hold of the reins from the side and walked up to me. "Here, let me help you with that," he said gently while using a reassuring tone. "Where did yo
Rameric's POV:"Take them away," an older man said loudly enough as he walked to the edge of the crowd, coming into view. Everyone stopped talking when they heard him speak. He seemed as if he could be the oldest man in this village. When he got close enough, he looked directly at me as he said, "You sir, I do know you. I may not like what you do, but I understand there has to be business, or else there will be chaos. There has been enough bloodshed here in our little village. We have enough to tend to after the fires are extinguished. All thanks to the likes of those who take from others that they view as less fortunate than themselves. We do not wish to deal with the remaining few all on our own. Take the remaining invaders away. I only ask one thing of you and those of the company you may keep. Ensure that they never come back here."At the conclusion of his words, Raiven walked over to the old man and placed a hand on his shoulder as he said, "It shall be done
Rameric's POV: "The good people of Sorghum!" I projected my voice as I walked over to the village square. I was trying to gain the attention of the villagers as they were yelling at the invaders. They chanted at the men being held in the center of their village encircled by wolves. "Hear me!" I exclaimed. Finally, after a moment, it was quiet enough for me to continue. "As many of you may know me. You also may not agree with the business I conduct myself, but you do know me. You know that I run the business of the slave trade in these lands. However, these men here," I said as I pointed to all of them encircled. "They do not come with the appreciation of civil exchange. They also choose to be reckless over the civil barter system. They choose torment over talking peacefully. Today this all ends!"At that moment, I turned around to look at them, the men still hovering on their knees. Some were holding onto their injured limbs with the ones less injured if th
Rameric's POV:We went around the opposite side of the building, not having to worry about being seen, as most of the villagers were already in the central part of the village. They were trying to put out some of the fires these invaders started. At least there were not a lot of children in this particular village. It was run by older, more experienced farmers. Rager made sure to keep the young woman close, as he would nudge her with his nose periodically to keep her moving along the path we were headed. She was sobbing lightly as we went along. I was pleased that she was not too loud with her sobs as the last thing I wanted was to draw any more unnecessary attention as to our presence. When we got to where we could see what was going on in the central part of the village, I noticed that there were only two more guards standing there next to the caged wagon. One was standing on the ground by the back, and the other one was still sitting on the front seat, waiting
Rameric's POV:This was not the first time Rager and I had set up an ambush for an enemy that was about to lose their lives. The one thing that I knew he really enjoyed was being able to sever the head from the rest of the body. He was so clean about it too. As they would walk by, he could just pluck their head right off their shoulders. They would fall silent in the pile right where they were standing at the time. Rager would chomp on the head a couple of times before spitting it out too."All right now," I said as I pointed in a particular direction. "I want you to go over there and do as I told you. However, if you do not do as you are told, then you know the consequences of what your actions will bring."With that last statement, I used my Alpha tone, but I spoke softly enough that only she could hear me, while the rest of the men around the corner would not be aware of our position. I watched as she did what she was told, walking over to the end of the build
