Chapter 44: Its The End!Alasia's POV:I can't believe this is actually happening to me. I can't believe this is the end. I have barely begun to live my life and on the day that I am sold to be a slave, it has been put in jeopardy more times than I ever would have thought possible and now I am facing death. I was supposed to be able to rescue my brother from that monster. From the man who has beaten me every time my mother had her back turned up until the day of her unfortunate disappearance. She disappeared and left me here to face him. She's gone and I have nothing to show for it. She left a trust for me and my brother but it was squandered away by the pitiful and selfish use of another, one who had a hand in raising me and my brother. I am so devastated I don't know what to do with myself.I was being swallowed by self-pity. I had to try to bring my thoughts out of this situation but I was literally stuck here. I was stuck in this old covered and broken cage-covered wagon
Chapter 45: My Heart BrokeRameric's POV:All of this was making my head hurt as I started to walk back and forth in the main hall. No one bothered to say a word as I could not take this anymore so I headed for the main entrance. I had to go for a walk as my head was spinning with thoughts about what I was going to do without her. Galien was fast on my heels as was some of my other Warrior guards, making sure no further harm would come to me, not that I was vulnerable in my current state of things. No sooner than I made it out front of my castle and stood there on the top steps, did I hear a very loud and long drawn-out howl? What is happening now?!What is this, I wondered? That howl did not belong to any of my pack members. Did they happen to find something else? Just then, one of the carriages pulled up to the front of the steps as they were back from their apparent search and found some of the menials that had been taken. I did not care about that right now. I cared abou
Chapter 46: How Much Longer?Vladic Regime's POV:I stood by the window in my office looking out over the courtyard in the front of my manor as the sun would soon be setting. How much longer till their arrival? I was waiting for the arrival of the ones whom I sent to be captured. They were supposed to be the ones who were mistreated and supported the needs of others. Their overseer shall remain nameless. As I stood there, I could see in the distance a carriage pulling up to the gate. There were supposed to be five different carriages arriving but there was only one. I am assuming they experienced trouble trying to leave the land behind.Just then, there was a knock on my door and I turned around to see it opening up slowly and with a creaking sound. I watched as Emeric entered the room, and closed the door behind him then remained standing by the door till I addressed his presence. I looked over at him and waved in such a manner that he knew to come over to me as I turned bac
Chapter 47: News Not PleasingVladic Regime's POV:I was sitting behind my desk when Brookli walked over and sat down in front of me in one of the chairs opposite my desk. She was looking down at her lap after she was seated there, with a frown on her face. It made me wonder what was the reason for her expression. She was usually pretty cheery, which was a bit much for me if I had to say anything about it. I was more refined and had a sleek disposition. I always wore dark or charcoal-colored attire and made sure that everything was well-trimmed. Even my tailor knew my style and it had never changed. I have had the same look for decades now and I did not see that changing anytime soon."What is with the long face?" I asked her as she had yet to say anything.She finally looked up at me and then opened her mouth to speak and then closed it again. Finally, she opened her mouth and spoke. "Father, I am sorry, but I tried to bring her but she was stuck in the wagon we were taken i
Chapter 48: The Plot ThickensVladic Regime's POVWe made our way through the shadows of the setting sun. As long as we stayed in the shadows, we would be fine. I was a very powerful warlock that I could stand to be in the sun as long as I was in human form, not that I cared to be in the sun at all. It was way too bright for me. I preferred the night as was when I did most of my dealings and such. I was so powerful that I could do anything I wished. I could even grant those with a less fortunate life one that they longed after, even if their own life was not what they wanted it to be. I was starting small in my endeavor. However, I had my servitors pass out the word to those said individuals to contact Clan Regime and send word they wished to participate in The Regime Factor. They would then be able to pay dearly for this new life. I would even prevent others from interfering with their new life for an additional fee. There were numerous ways one could pay for this, of cou
Chapter 49: The Aidman's NewsRameric's POV:I could not get her back to my castle fast enough. She was just lying there in my arms, helpless, not even bothering to move. This really confirms my thoughts firsthand about humans being weak and insignificant in a whole new perspective. As I looked down at her, as I recalled the images of her lying on the dirt in the broken-down cart, I knew she had lost a lot of blood. Almost too much for her survival. It was going to be close to see if she would pull through or not. I needed to get her back so she could see the aidman before I lost her entirely. I just hope that she did not lose too much that would cause her to perish as I would not be able to stand for that. Galien was in the seat in front of me as we were rushing to get back to the castle. I knew I would have a lot to deal with soon, about the spell that was cast on the members of my pack and all, but that would have to wait. I needed to see to her wounds first by making su
Chapter 50: Doesn't Add UpRaiven's POV:After Rameric rushed off towards his pack's castle, Riot was not pleased with what we initially found upon arriving at the area. He scouted around even before we made our way over by the turned-over wagon. There was evidence of someone else here, someone who Riot has not been able to track down a scent. It was not very common for someone to evade his detection, but whoever this individual was, they seemed to know how to evade the detection of a Lycan such as Riot. I was pretty stout when it came to tracking but Riot was better as his nose was unkeen to miss anything. As we searched the surrounding area before Rager arrived, we came across something that I was having a hard time explaining. The tree that was removed from the toppled wagon was pushed over, roots and all. There was nothing else that could have explained it. And it was the top of the tree that fell on the wagon cart. If the base of the tree fell on it, there is no doubt t
Chapter 51: The Dark VoidAlasia's POV:What is happening to me?! Where am I? The last thing I remember was my side being in extreme pain due to the broken cage rail being removed. I did not remove the broken rail, so who did? What happened? I do not recall wolves having fingers to move things around. They did have mouths that they could chew on things but that still would not make any sense as to how it was removed. As I looked around, all I could see was darkness. It was like I was stuck in this dark void of some kind. There was no smell or sight other than the darkness. I could not even feel anything on my own skin. As I continue to look around me, it is when I think I can see something, faintly in the far-off distance. As I focus on this little light, it is like I am looking at a picture before me. As I focus on it more and more, I notice how it starts to get bigger as if this is coming closer to me. When I look around me, I am still in the void of nothingness and c
