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
Chapter 121: Let's Try ThisRameric's POV:Once the carriage came to a stop, I opened up the door and climbed out and turned around to help my mate out. When I was sure she was steady on her feet, I reached back for the little boy. This time, he sort of jumped into my hands and I caught him before I placed him firmly on the ground. At this point, Galien was pulling up in the other carriage behind us as I turned to look at the driver of my carriage and waved him to go on without us. When he pulled away, Galien could pull up closer to where we were now standing."Is there something wrong, my Alpha Caine?" He asked as he leaned over to ask me lightly."Not at all," I said as I looked at him, then looked at the other two standing at my side. The little boy rushed over to me and grabbed my free hand at the same time as I wrapped my arm around my mate. Then I looked back at Galien as I said, "You may head on. I will meet you back at the castle."He looked a bit confused but did not q
Chapter 122: My Eyes StunnedAlasia's POV:I could not believe what I was seeing. Was this the actual truth? Was the one man, the one my mother wanted me to trust somehow, this massive beast? This wolf who barged into Rameric's room earlier and bit off the hand of the man who dared try to hurt me? He was going to do something to defile me and this wolf knew this was going to somehow happen, so he punished the man by taking off his hand? Then, on top of that, this wolf brought me the hand and I took it from him. I knew now that one wolf was Rameric. I somehow knew he was not there to hurt me but knew it was there to protect me. How was it that I did not get to get this information sooner? Why did I not think about this sooner? I then looked over at Brazen, as he was all too thrilled to care about anything else other than the fact that there were two massive wolves right before us. "Brazen, what do you think?" I found myself asking him before I realized that I had said anyt
Chapter 123: What Is Wrong?Alasia's POV:I was not sure what to think as I was standing there in front of this large, rock building, and now we were given news that there was an issue. I did not want to mention the fact that when Rameric changed back from the wolf to himself, he was naked. Why was he naked? Does he not realize that he is standing there in front of everyone while being naked?! Is anyone going to do anything about this fact?"Well, then we will discuss this at once," he said as he walked over to another man who handed him something to cover himself with before he walked over to me and pulled me close to him. "What is the nature of this issue, so that I know where we are to head to next?""My Alpha Caine," said the man that Rameric called Galien. "Do you not want to discuss this in a more private setting? Due to the parties involved, I do think that is best."When he said that last part, that man was looking directly at me. Why was he looking at me? What is wro
Chapter 124: More Things AmissRameric's POV:We entered the door of the Council Chambers and I headed toward the end of the table. However, first, I walked over to where Alasia was seated earlier and had her little brother sit down there. I was curious how long he would stay silent as he heard things being discussed here shortly. When I turned back to my mate, I grabbed her hand and pulled her along and placed her in the chair that I placed right next to mine at the end of the table. That way, no one else would be out of their place when they sat down at the table. Everyone else was already there in the room and ready to start this discussion when I was seated."Now, shall we begin?" I asked when I looked over at Galien. Just then, Raiven entered the room and took his seat on the opposite side of the table from where Galien was seated. When he sat down, Galien started to say what the issue was. "My Alpha Caine. Apparently, while we were out tending to our trip, there was an
