Chapter 10: This Strange FeelingAlasia's POV:As I continued to sit there on his leg, I was starting to feel this strange feeling from deep within my chest. I was not exactly sure why I was feeling this, but there was no way I could deny that something was there. I was having a very hard time trying to explain all of this to myself. I never heard of humans having these kinds of feelings when they were around someone else they were attracted to before either. I knew some people would have likes and dislikes about certain attitudes and actions of others, but to have this kind of draw to someone else was unlike anything I ever knew possible. Was this a normal thing for a human to experience? My mother never mentioned anything about it, and I was certainly not going to get this kind of advice from my stepfather either. It was strange as if I was starting to want to be near to this man. What was coming over me?! I barely even knew him, yet, in a way, I felt I did know him and wa
Chapter 11: Accomplish Next TaskRameric's POV:I have been around the body of a woman before, so this was not all that new to me. I was not fearful of how to move around the body of a woman. The part that I was unsure about, was the fact that her being my intended mate, I could feel the Mate Attraction in my very skin, which was starting to originate from deep down in my chest. When I washed her, or even when I held her directly above me earlier, I was not sure if she moved against my member, if I would be able to calm or even stop myself, if it came to it. I remained in that position for a moment, as I had one hand right above her rump and the other hand, I held right above the most delicate place I would consider on a woman. I did not know what would happen if I got closer. When I assisted her in washing her backside, that was not all that difficult of a task. I just did not know what would happen when it came to washing the opposite side of her. When she looked at me earl
Chapter 12: Clothing Not OptionalRameric's POV:She looked at me, deep into my eyes as if she was not sure what to do with herself. I made sure to still have a firm grip on her waist, as to this point, I was not sure if she even had the strength to hold herself up out of the water. I sat her down completely, however at this point, her legs were buckled up underneath her as she did not seem to have her own strength to be able to move them out of the way. I wanted to be able to allow her to sit down completely in the water, even though she did not move other than having her hands firmly placed on my wrists. Instead of trying to place her in front of me, I thought it better if I placed her back in my lap this time. This would also allow for me to assist her out of the water basin as well as make sure we got out together. Instead of me stepping out, leaving her still in the water with a lack of her own ability to be able to hold herself up all on her own. When I placed her back i
Chapter 13: Clothing Not OptionalRameric's POV:I looked down on the floor at the shawl I was wearing before bathing, knowing it was nowhere big enough to cover the both of us. It was not all that uncommon to see a naked werewolf wandering around after shifting back, however, I was not going to let anyone else see her in this naked state. Clothing was not optional for her, as much as it may have been for me. Also as I looked around, there was no place I felt comfortable to lie her down either, so, I walked over to the door and spoke up to the Warrior guards on the opposite side. "Send for Galien at once," I stated in a louder and commanding tone, trying to make sure they could hear me from their side of the door. "As you command, Alpha Caine," I heard in response from the Warrior guards, acknowledging they heard me from outside the bathing chambers. I did not have to wait all that long for Galien to arrive and knock on the door. I stepped behind the door as it was cracked o
Chapter 14: Proper Garments RequiredRameric's POV:I looked around the room to see what could be an obstacle she might have to maneuver around during her walk, instead the floor was pretty much open. Still, there would not be an adequate location for me to lay down our mate, who had apparently passed out due to her new experience. As I studied her face as she was lying there naked and still quite wet in my arms, I guess I might have needed the assistance of a menial after all. "You there," I said from my position in a firm voice, as I had yet to move so I did not give away my position when she had first entered the room a moment before. "Do you know your way around the room without the ability to use your eyes?"“Yes, My Lord Alpha Caine,” she stated as she tried to bow forward slightly, so as to not drop the garments she was carrying delicately in her arms. “I have been in these chambers many times and know my way around.”This was something I wanted to see for myself. I wa
Chapter 15: Make A SelectionAlasia's POV:The last thing I was ever expecting was to open my eyes, and this strange man still be here, holding me close to his chest. The last time he was holding me, he was carrying me over his shoulder as if I was harvest grain being carried in from the field. However, before I opened my eyes just now, I thought about everything that happened so far today since I was shouted at to wake from my grass pallet in the small hut I used to call home. I thought everything that happened after that moment was just another bad sleeping dream, that I was walking while I was still dreaming. After I arrived here, when I was made to wait in the pen with the others who arrived here before I did, I wondered if that was just a different part of a bad sleeping dream. I have yet to be punished for anything, so I was trying to understand if I was walking while dreaming or if this was a bad sleeping dream. Well, as it turns out, I am not dreaming at all, but still
Chapter 16: Do As InstructedRameric's POV:I took the item from her hand as I was still holding it in mine as we had a short conversation. It seemed to me as if she had never heard of the term I used when I told her that I was her mate. As I still held onto her wrists, I stood up slowly, and only after I was fully standing did I let go. I took the slacks I held in my hand and put them on. I then turned back toward the table grabbing the darker blood-colored garment and picking it up off the table. I turned back to face her as I started to maneuver the material in my hand so that I could place it over her head. She stood there looking up at me as I looked down at her. I could tell that she had no idea as to what I was referring to previously. Could I be wrong? Was I wrong in telling her at that time that I was her mate? Should I have waited before I divulged that information to her?“Raise your arms,” I said to her as I lifted my hands still holding the Garment in preparatio
Chapter 17: Speech Not PossibleAlasia's POV:To say that I was in complete shock right now, would not be the right way to describe how I was feeling at that very moment. I stood there as he was talking with someone else. I did my best to keep my gaze focused on the floor in front of me a short distance from me, but still close enough that he would grab me if I tried to leave. I was not sure how to do anything else, well, other than just stand there. I was standing in this great stone-walled hall, where the walls were higher than I had ever seen before. I have never been to any place like this before, as I have only ever seen wood log walls. The walls of our little hut, well the hut I used to call home would sway when a harsh wind would blow. It felt like it was one massive storm away from a great feast fire, not that I had ever been to a feast. I stood there, trying to focus on my surroundings, as the man who, well who carried me to the room we just left after he, well he, um
