Chapter 28: Tend To BusinessRameric's POV:This was not the kind of day I thought it was going to be. It was just after the midday roast and these different kinds of issues were already turning up in the matters that dealt with my newly found mate. Despite the fact that she was a weak and insignificant human, there were still issues that I am having to deal with none the less. Well, I needed to get a handle on this situation before things really got out of hand. Rager already burst into my Chambers on account that we heard muffled cries coming from inside. Now the fact, that Rager already took a hand from one of my own pack members on account of her, only to leave another one needing punishment for his hand in this same situation. I needed to figure out what to do before I went totally off the wind here. Rager turned back to look at Galien still standing there in silence by Darik and Zakari and tilted his head to the side. Galien took that as a sign that he needed to take th
Chapter 29: Bad Sleep DreamAlasia's POV: As I lay there, on the edge of this soft material covering this larger pallet, it was like I had the feeling I was somehow in a bad sleep dream again. This was honestly the worst one so far if I had to say anything about it, and it all started after my stepfather sold me as a slave. I still do not understand how he could have done such a thing to me. I really thought I meant more to him than that. Or, did any of that really happen to me? No wait, I do remember him selling me first thing this morning, otherwise I would not have seen my little brother in such a state in the back of the wagon cart with tears filling his little eyes. I knew my stepfather sold me, as after I was in that pen trying to help another young girl who was crying openly. I even remember pushing her out of the way before she was struck by that bigger man. Where was I exactly if all these men were larger than I thought they should be? There was only one explanatio
Chapter 30: He's Leaving Again!Alasia's POV:Where is he going this time? Is he really leaving me in here again? I need to go relieve myself and he is not wanting me to leave the room?! What am I going to do? At that moment, I stood up as I watched him turn away from me and walk toward the door of the room. He did not even bother to turn around to look at me before he walked out with a bit of a huff tone in his walk. Was he upset at what I told him? I was just telling him what I told those other two men who came into the room earlier while he was gone. Was I not supposed to say anything?!After he was no longer in view, I watched for a few more moments as I wanted to know if he was going to come back or if anyone else was going to try to come into the room. When I did not see anyone or hear anything else, I started to look around the room. The last thing I wanted to do was to risk leaving this room as I did not want to have to repeat that horrifying experience. I was tryin
Chapter 31: On My Way...Rameric's POV:I can not believe I heard those words. Did that really happen, that she told them she belonged to me and they did not believe her!? They even laughed at her?! The more she spoke, the more angered I got to the point that I had to leave my Chambers. I could not help the growl that was coming from my throat. I was not going to say anything to her about her words. I just stood up, turning to face her. I could see the pain that those two men caused flashing across her eyes, as she was forced to relive that instance as she told me what happened while I was gone. I stood there in shock before I spoke up to her. I knew what I needed to do. First, I needed to have her stay here. I would send someone to help her take care of her current needs, but I did not want her to leave my Chambers alone, no matter the cost. "Stay here!" I said in a gruff tone as I was still angered by her words. "I will be back. I will send someone to take you to wher
Chapter 32: Whole Lot BiggerAlasia's POV:If I had to say, this place was a whole lot bigger than I had expected it to be. It was nice, to say the least. I had never known that these different halls went on as long as they did. It was certainly a whole lot bigger than the small piece of land I once called home. I mean, even the hut I stayed in was a sizeable amount smaller than the room I was just in where, well where. Can I not finish a thought on my own even still? I mean, those two men are gone and I no longer have to see them from what I understand. I followed her lead and no one seemed to bother her or try to talk to her as I walked behind her, following her every lead. It was not all that much longer before we finally found a door leading to the outside. Granted, that was after taking several sets of winding stairs and going through several halls and dark passage ways, well darker than I would like to travel as this was the middle of the day. Finally, I was able to s
Chapter 33: Longer Than ExpectedRameric's POVI made sure I took my time with the two sorry excuses for men in the dungeon cell, as I knew I was certainly going to need to wash up after this. I just looked forward to that, as I knew she was going to need another chance to wash up as well. I smirked to myself as I looked at the table in front of me where all the different objects were that were used in the treatment of fools like these two. I smirked as I thought about the very fact of being able to see her naked in front of me again. I just bet she would love to get another chance to bathe with me, seeing how strong I am and all. I heard the two men groaning from behind me as I turned my head back around to look at them. It was not all that often that I got a first-hand experience in the kind of treatment of those who deserved it, but it was nice to be able to serve the kind of justice they should have known was coming. I turned around to stand in front of both of them, obvio
Chapter 34: Where Is She?Rameric's POV:I had to admit, I was getting pretty pissed off about the fact that she has yet to come back to my Chambers. Honestly, how long did it take for one to go and relieve themselves only to come back here like I know I told her to do?! I was stern about it, so she had better get my point when I told her to do something. I wanted to go and find her, but I did not want to leave here just yet, as I was waiting for Galien to return. I was still waiting for him to show his face as I did not want to miss leaving and him bringing her here. I knew it shouldn’t be that much longer before he returned. In the meantime, I walked over to my padded slumber and sat down on the edge of it. I thought about some of the different reasons as to why she had yet to return. So, I thought I could sit down instead of walking a hole in my stone floor as I was apparently taking the same path walking back and forth. Was this some sort of a trick? Did she somehow tric
Chapter 35: Something Happened Again?!Rameric's POV:To think about all the different events that happened here today of all days, why now? Something happened again to her?! Honestly, what has changed to cause this? What made Fate play a part in all of this and what was Fate trying to show me exactly? I was not sure how to proceed but there was one thing for sure. Whoever these invaders were, I was going to make sure they were dealt with, promptly. There were several problems that came up first. I needed to know why none of my Warrior guards were in their positions, why the corridors seemed to be vacant of all my pack members, and then where in the flaming furry was my newly found mate.I looked back over at Galien still standing there across the hall and raised one finger on one hand. I was trying to tell him we were going to wait here until they left and then attempt to follow them to where it was they were headed. I had no idea what we were going to find, but this was the
