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
Chapter 125: I Must KnowRameric's POV:I have to say I was very displeased with this situation. As pleased as I was that we managed to get to rescue and bring back the little brother of my mate made me feel, I somehow knew that I was missing something before we departed. Could this be the very thing that I was missing? What did this one menial have to do with anything? Was she a part of the ones who were responsible for the invasion that almost cost the life of my newfound mate?! Or, was she just a pawn in the greater plan of all things? I stood there still angered at this thought, as my mate was still holding onto my arm."Her name is Brookli," Alasia said as she turned to face me. "I asked her what her name was the day I was taken, and she told me her name. She even asked me what my name was, but I never got the chance to tell her. That was before a man came up to us, and then we were taken. We were thrown into the back of that covered wagon cart. There were other young
Chapter 126: I'm A Lycan!Rameric's POV:For some reason, I could not think all that clearly with everything going on right now, especially with it partly involving that woman who left my mate to fend for herself all on her own. How could she be wrapped up in this invasion or did that involve something else entirely? I am not sure what the answer to that particular question is. Then, on the other hand, why take so many menials on the day before the slave trade was to begin is a bigger question I needed to have answered. My question is, how did that woman, wrapped up in all this, have anything to do with the invasion? Or did she at all?The more I think about this, I do not think 'that' is all of it, but only a small part of it. However, what else could I be missing? Was this just a ploy to get me distracted to look off in a different direction entirely? I simply must find out the answers that I seek. I knew I was smarter than this. To think about it more, I am not sure what
Chapter 127: Where To Now?Alasia's POV:I was very pleased I had my little brother safe from that monster of a stepfather. I am not sure how I saw what was going to happen before it came to be, or who that person was that was in my head while I was seemingly in a sleep dream. I only wish I knew what happened to cause all this. When I heard the wolves fighting around the back of where we were walking, I wondered what happened to him after that. I remember seeing his lifeless body lying there on the ground. Why did Rameric do that? Was he just knocked out? I knew I saw him lying on the floor after he passed out due to having way too much to drink, so could that be the same thing? Or was it? No, he couldn't be, could he?I had to change the thoughts in my mind as that was making my middle section feel bad. Despite all that, I could not help it as I felt overjoyed that I seemingly had everything going for me for once. I knew I was at least safe for the first time in my life an
Chapter 128: He's Not Mad?Alasia's POV:I thought his movement was going to strike Brazen. Was he not mad at my little brother's question? It is not that I thought Rameric would strike him, but it was more of a reaction to my stepfather's past actions that I was concerned about. Why did he have to be such an evil man to do such a thing to an innocent boy? I mean, Brazen was full of energy and could talk non-stop when he wanted to. Well, he practically acted like every other little boy that I saw, but why would that make you want to strike him when he asked a simple question? Rameric looked up at me and then looked back at Brazen. He seemed to be studying his face a moment before he said anything further."Do you see foot coverings on my feet?" He asked Brazen as he looked down at his one foot still placed on the floor as he was on his other knee. "I walk around here with my feet bare all the time. However, here we have stone floors. You do not have to worry about the mud ge
Chapter 129: I'm In Shock!Alasia's POVI can not believe what my little brother was suggesting to me. How could he think that I would want to do something like that?! Provide him with someone to play with. Was he suggesting what I think he might be suggesting? I was still kneeling in front of him in shock. At that moment, he let go of my hands as I stood up and then walked over to the end of the softer pad and sat down on it. Was he seriously referring to what I think he could be referring to? I really hope not! Honestly, how could my little brother think of something like that? I barely knew Rameric as is. Is that what little kids do all day? Thinking about their older sisters doing the nasty thing over and over?"Brazen?" I started to ask him curiously. "What exactly are you thinking?"I just had to ask him. I had to know exactly what he might be referring to, and I wanted to see exactly where my little brother’s mind was going with this. Could he be asking what I thi
Chapter 130: What's This Feeling?Alasia's POV:"That man we rode with to get here," Brazen continued, and then before he spoke next, he looked around the room. Was he making sure we were alone this time? No one came into the room while he was talking, so what could he be looking for? However, when he did speak next, he did so using a lower tone than he did before. "Do you think we can growl like that man?"I laughed out loud to myself as I smiled at my brother standing right in front of me, and then I responded, "I am not exactly sure what we can do. I only know what we are.""How is that going to help us?" He asked me, shocked once again as if he was acting like I did not know anything helpful. "If you know what we are but not what we can do, then how is that going to help me figure out if we are anything like that man?""You have a point."Just then, the doors opened up again, and Rameric entered the room. He stood there just inside the doorway. As I looked over at him, he
