Chapter 61: Where Am I?Alasia's POV:Where am I? What is happening to me again? Where am I at? As I try to look around me, all I can see is the darkness again. I am surrounded by black and nothingness all around me. I try to see if I can feel anything on my skin. I try to look down and I do not even see me. What is happening to me?! Where am I at?"Hey!" I try to shout to see if anyone can hear me. No one answers. I can not even hear my voice out loud but only in my head once again. Am I dying? Is that what is happening to me?! Am I dying after the pain I felt earlier? As I try to look around, I try to see if I can look up or even down. I am still not seeing anything around me. Something is not right. Why am I surrounded by nothing? I know there is something out there, isn't there? Am I just here all alone? Will I ever be able to see Brazen again? Will he know that I still care for him? Does he know that I want to get him away from that man who used to beat me
Chapter 62: Where Is He?Alasia's POV:What did they mean this was about to come? Who was this figure? What were they talking about?! Did they mean my little brother was soon to perish in this manner? That he was going to die by the river beside the place where I used to call home? Or was it that he was going to perish by means of drowning?! I needed to figure this out before I went out of my mind. I could not stand for anything happening to my little brother. He was only 6 years old after all. Who could be so cruel and do this to a little boy, one as sweet as him? "What are you talking about?" I asked in a manner in which I fell down on my knees there beside the bank of the river. "When is this going to happen to my little brother? I simply must know the answer to this?""If you do not intervene, this will surely come to pass," they said in a low manner once again. "You must save him from the wicked, or his life will not last."I had to say, the weight of his words weig
Chapter 63: Watch Her CloseRameric's POV:She was lying there as I continued to watch her. She would turn her head occasionally from side to side as if she was dealing with an unpleasant memory of some sort or just a memory she may not have been very fond of. I choose to sit back down on the edge of my padded slumber next to her and see if that would help to calm her nerves a bit. I wished there was more I could do for her. Then I thought about what Raiven mentioned earlier before he left to deal with the gathering in the main hall. He mentioned there was one thing in particular that I could do in order to take her pain away. As I thought about the one thing I knew would work I had a question creep into my mind. Would that be what she really wanted? Would she be willing to be forever bonded to me? I know how she came to be with me, but is that what she really wanted? To have my mate forever connected to me would be something that I have longed for ever since I learned of m
Chapter 64: Is Something Wrong!?Rameric's POV:As I was lying there, looking at her tear-soaked face, the words she spoke took the very words out of my mouth. I did not know what to say at that moment. How could she do that to me? How could she say something like that to me and think I was going to be alright with it?! I was filling up with massive amounts of anger that I had to lay back on the padded slumber and not look at her as she was still lying on my arm at my side. I lay there with my eyes looking up above me and she did not move, not even a bit. She just laid there on her side staring at me or looking down, I am not sure for I did not care to look at what she may be looking at during that moment. All I tried to focus on was trying to keep control of my emotions as I knew what Rager would do if he came out here. My clothing would be torn to shreds and it would probably frighten her to the point where she would tear more stitches. I had to control my anger so she wou
Chapter 65: He Won't UnderstandAlasia's POV:No matter what I had tried so far, I could not seem to stop myself from crying. Well, even as I was trying not to make a sound, I knew I was still crying as I could feel the tears running across my skin. Why was he being so cruel to me when I told him that I missed him? It was only my little brother. Would he not miss a sibling if he were not allowed to see them? Was it wrong for me to miss my little brother? Did he not care about that, or would he not care to hear exactly who it was that I was missing? Yes, I know I was sold as a slave by my step-father but still. I needed to rescue my little brother before that awful thing was going to happen to him. I still do not know who it was that was in my head earlier when I was surrounded by the darkness and the figure was in that strange shroud. At first, I thought it was my mother, but when my mother looked at me, the thing she was covered in fell down revealing it was really her. T
Chapter 66: Great, Not Again!Alasia's POV:Great, not again! Am I really going to have to go through this whole process again? I mean, how many times does one person have to stand there and see another person naked, one like the man who is starting to undress in front of me that is? Well, I mean, he was very big, his muscles were too. Well, when I did see it the last time we were in here, it practically laid there like a soft log. That was no twig for sure. I am not even sure what to do with the fact of being around a naked anything. This is the first time I have officially seen any man's naked anything. It was one thing helping my little brother while he was younger, helping him wash and such while my mother was not around, but still. How or where did anyone expect something of that size to go? Let alone what someone is supposed to do with something like that?! What is something of that size used for anyway? I have been through way too much recently to try to process an
Chapter 67: An Announcement EminentRaiven's POV:As I walked up to stand behind Ergo, I did so in a manner in which it demanded respect in how I stood there. In a way, I was standing in a shadow but you could still definitely see that I was there. I stood there with my feet at my shoulders width apart as I waited for him to finish his introduction. As I waited patiently, I looked around the main hall. Finally, I found who I was looking for. Once I laid my eyes upon Galien, my younger brother's Beta, I studied his posture. He did not seem pleased as to the words I spoke earlier in Alpha Caine's chambers. The point that I would soon be taking over was not something that any Beta wanted to hear as it was their job to take that position when any issue arose. It was at the point where I knew this was necessary. Although it would have fallen to him, I knew this was necessary for all for who were involved, which was the pack as a whole. I knew they would need an explanation for t
Chapter 68: See To ThingsBeta Galien's POV:The last thing I wanted was to be up against odds that were not in the best interest of our favor. Granted, what Alpha Raiven had mentioned to me alone earlier before I made my statement openly to my pack was accurate. I did want to be placed in the position that was due to me as it was my duty and my responsibility to take over when my own Alpha was not able or was away tending to other things. To have yet another Alpha in charge before I would have been given the opportunity is an unjust move even by our own Alpha's standards. However, currently, I am not able to inform my Alpha as he was seeing to other things.No sooner than I gave my last statement to my pack while standing on the center platform, they all turned around to converse among themselves. I then turned around and noticed that Alpha Raiven, the leader and Alpha of the Silver Shadow was talking with several of his pack members so I had to wait. However, as I tried to wal
