Chapter 113: Is There News?!Valdic Regime's POV:I was not pleased with the fact that it had been more than enough time since my daughter was supposed to return with news. I know she sometimes likes to take her time to get here, making sure she is not followed. But, seriously! How long does it take to get away from that mutt's playground and bring me the news that I so desperately require? She has been late in the past due to last-minute requests from the individual who shall not be named, but this is getting absurd. Never have I had to wait this long for her arrival and I was getting quite impatient. She had better have a good excuse as to why she is not here that is for certain.I walked back over to the window in my office as I looked out once more then up to the darkness in the starry sky. Still no sign of her. What could be taking so long, honestly? Just then, I thought I heard someone speaking in a low tone just outside the door to my office. Now why would they speak
Chapter 114: What's Keeping Her?Vladic Regime's POV:We stayed perched at the top of a tree on the edge of a treeline close to the castle. As I turned to look over at Emeric, I happened to notice that he was not looking back at me. I turned to look over to see what he was looking at. I was not expecting the see this particular sight. What was going on? It was like they knew we were here or something. As I looked at the main doors on the front of the castle, there was a group of individuals walking out the front and heading down the stairs. Did they know we were in their area? I thought we were silent upon our arrival. I did not see any of the sentries run back before so why were they all coming out at this hour of the night? The more I ran it over in my mind, I realized that I was just about to fly closer to the castle. I might have made my presence known to the enemy and given away our presence . I never thought there would be this much activity going on during this tim
Chapter 115: Someone Will Pay!Vladic Regime's POV:I wasted no time swooping down off the top rail and landed in a quick hurry as I transformed. I then waited for my eyes to adjust to this dimly lit area before me. I could not believe the sight I saw with my own eyes. This was the answer I was looking for. The reason as to why my daughter had yet to return to me on her scheduled day to do so. This is the reason for the delay and I had to say that it enraged me most of all. Despite my overpowering sense of sheer rage, I had to contain myself so as to not draw attention to my presence in her cell. I walked over closer to her as she was not able to come close to me. When I reached her, I stood just out of reach of her chains as she no doubt tried to wrap her arms around me. With her still reaching forward, I took another step so that she could now get what she desperately wanted. An embrace I knew she was longing for. I then, for what seemed like an eternity since I embraced
Chapter 116: Hope Turns ScaryAlasia's POV:I was shocked to the point that it was making it hard to breathe as I thought this was happening right now. I could not believe the words that my mother told me would come true. The fact that we were on the way to get Brazen was the last thing I ever thought would happen after what my stepfather did to me. I could not believe that I was going to get to save him from the awful fate that I saw in my head. The more I thought about it, the more I could not help but wonder who that person was who showed me what was going to happen to my brother. Was I ever going to see them again?Here I was, just sitting in the back of this fancy box on wheels pulled by larger-looking horses. I have seen these kinds of fancy boxes but I had to say I had never been in one of these before. I have always had to ride in the back of an open wagon or covered cart. If the wind was blowing cold or raining, I could only use a thick and dusty cloth to cover with t
Chapter 117: Is He Head?Alasia's POV:I could not believe my eyes as I looked over toward the river and my stepfather was standing there. He is standing there looking down at something. Why is he standing there beside the river in the middle of the night looking down?! I could not contain my fear as I rushed toward him. I did not know what else to do. Was Brazen dead? Is he dead or alive at this point?! I did not know but I had to get to where he was standing to see if I was too late or not. When I got closer, my stepfather turned around to see me running up to him and the look on his face said as much."What did you do?" I yelled as I got closer to him.He ended up stepping in my way with his hands raised as he tried to block my view. He said shockingly and in a harsh tone, "What are you doing back here? I thought I got rid of you?!""What did you do to Brazen?! He is just a kid, what did you do to him?" I shouted with tear-filled eyes trying to make sure if my worst fear
Chapter 118: Time To ChangeAlasia's POV:I was so thrilled that I could hardly contain my joy as there was a smile stretched across my face. I know I was a slave but I just saved my little brother from certain harm. As I thought about what just happened, I tried to think about what could have caused the wolves to circle before I was led away from the place where my stepfather was left lying on the ground. What did the wolves do? Why did they get in a fight? If that is the case, why did they wait till we were out of sight before they started to fight anyway? They were all around us and they did not so much as make a growl when we walked past them. So what could have happened?I watched as the man who was sitting up on the high seat climb down and open the side door of the fancy box. Several women climbed out of the back and walked around to the end and opened a large chest. What were they doing? Did they know he was going to be wet and brought clothing to change him into? W
Chapter 119: We Must ReturnRameric's POV:As we were on our way back to my territory and well away from the land the humans dwell in, I was pleased to see that my mate had a decent smile on her face. She seemed to visibly relax after we managed to save her little brother as he was now clinging to her side. He seemed spirited and full of energy for a young child who was so close to death a short amount of time ago. How she saw that he was about to undergo that fate I will never know. I just know that there is something I still need to figure out about her. Other than that, I was pleased that we were headed away from that wretched place. How could a man live in such a dwelling with children? Did he take no shame of the conditions he subjected them to? Then he just had to do what he did. He tried to physically harm her right in front of me. Did he not know that she did not return to him without a cause? Did he not know that slaves do not just escape from their masters? One
Chapter 120: Let's Explain ThisRameric's POV:I was not sure how to feel when I heard those specific words come out of the little boy's mouth. Was he really saying what I think he was saying about that man? If there is one thing that my pack does 'not' condone, it is the fact that when men like that get an opportunity to put their hands on any child, no matter if they are male or female. The more I thought about it, the more I needed to get back so that I could discuss this with Raiven. At that moment, I could hear a low rumble at the base of my throat as Rager was getting aggravated with this thought. Even though he did not get to partake in that man's suffering, I wanted to know if he did indeed suffer. "What is that noise?" The boy asked as he stood up to his feet as we were still traveling down the path back to my territory."What is what noise?" Alasia asked him as she moved forward to reach for his arms and that was when he looked over at me."I heard it!" He said, shock
