Chapter 97: Words Not TrueAlasia's POV:This can not be possible. I was not hearing what I was hearing. He did not say what I thought I heard. There is no way he told me what I heard. My stepfather said I would never amount to anything and that no one would ever love me. My stepfather beat this into me and my little brother. We were never meant to be loved by anyone. I was hovering over him, naked, bare lying up against his bare, hard chest. Why did he say that to me? This can't be true! No one will ever love me. I needed to get a grip. He did not tell me that he loved me so what was I overworking myself and my emotions for? He called me a name. He's not telling me the truth. It was his words that were not true. At that moment I tried to get off of his chest and he swiftly matched my movement by placing both of his hands on my bare hips and holding me in place. It was at the point that I was not fighting the tears to get him to let me go. I needed to be away from h
Chapter 98: We Are LateRameric's POV:I have to say, I am amused right now with her and her little tantrums. To think she actually knows what she wants is adorable. I looked at her as I placed the new garment over her head. Only this time, she was getting caught up in it as it was a whole lot heavier and thicker than the last one she wore. This garment was nicer as well as it had more decoration added to the bodice of it as well if I had to say. Despite the menial's mishap, she did bring me a decent garment that will do nicely for my mate during the evening roast, which we are running late to. Finally, I got her head to pop up through the proper hole in the top and turned her around so I could tie the cinch strings."This is heavy," she said as she looked over her shoulder at me while I was tying everything up making sure to pull out the slack in the strands. "It is heavier than the last one, you are right about that," I said as I scooted closer to the edge of the padded slum
Chapter 99: We Have ArrivedRameric's POV:As we stood there in the open entrance of the Main Hall, I looked out over my pack as I had a feeling a sensation of pride. I was still holding the hand of my mate who stood there at my side. Despite this spectacular view before her, I could tell she was tense. We were a grand pack to behold for anyone to see. Well, that is without the added numbers of The Silver Shadow currently in our midst. As I continued to look around, I just so happened to notice everyone seemed to be looking in our direction, specifically that of my mate. Upon seeing this, I could not help it as Rager let out a low-level growl in his position of being possessive over our mate. He was not about to disown her no matter what. From what I could tell, he would even publicly claim her even though I was not quite ready to announce to my pack that I found her just yet. At that point, Galien walked up to me and stood there as he bowed in the presence of everyone once
Chapter 100: What Is This?Alasia's POV:I could not believe the fact of the position I was currently placed in. To think that he was the one who actually placed me in this position, to begin with. I was sitting at this table in a high place that overlooked the entire room. There was an assortment of tables on the main floor so why did we have to sit all the way up here? I was left here to my own demise it seemed while he decided to step away to speak with a few others. Why would he make me sit down here and leave me alone? Was there a reason why he did not want me to stand over with him as to why he wanted me to sit here? I mean, he even placed different items in front of me on a plate that I had never had before. Well, a lot of it I had never even seen either.During all this, I could not help the overwhelming feeling that I was being watched by countless sets of eyes. As I slowly started to raise mine to where I could look out over the crowd that we had just walked through
Chapter 101: Shunned For EverythingAlasia's POV:What's wrong with me? Why do I feel this way? I know there is something wrong as I have never felt like this before. I sat there in the chair while he was standing up in front of me wondering what he was going to do next. Why does he not just shun me for everything that I have done wrong? I know I am not worth this much effort. My stepfather told me no one would ever want to take care of me so why is he still trying? Now, I have ruined his food. So he should just throw me out. That way I could at least save my little brother from my stepfather and the horrible fate that is about to happen to him. That way, if I at least know he is safe then I won't be as worried about him. I would rather Brazen be here with me rather than him being there with my stepfather. If I can recall correctly, the night before he brought me here, I believe he said that he wanted to make enough in order to move away. If that was the case, then why d
Chapter 102: I'm So AshamedAlasia's POV:I could not believe I was not able to stand on my own two feet. He was certainly going to throw me away after this point. He just didn't want me to be drug out of the room which is why he picked me up in the first place. At that point, the voices around me that I could hear were a bit muffled as if I was partly awake. It was almost as if I was under the water when someone else was talking around me. Why was I not able to hear what they were saying exactly, it was like they were right there and all. The more I lay there in his arms, I tried to focus on his words as he was speaking to someone else. At one point, I even tried to open up my eyes but I was not able to do so. What was wrong with me? I should be so ashamed for causing a scene during the roast he said we were already late too.After some time, I felt myself being laid down on something soft once more. During all of this, I still felt like I was burning up though. I am not s
Chapter 103: I'm So Confused Alasia's POV:I had no idea what she just said. What did any of that mean? I was the daughter of a Warrior? What kind of Warrior was I supposed to be the next in line of? The age of when? None of what she said made any sense to me and I was just supposed to believe what she said like it was the truth the entire time I was alive. I have never heard my mother mention anything about our past or where we all came from even when she was around. I just know that five years ago when I was eleven she left one day and never came home."I do not understand," I said as I sat down in front of her and she even lowered herself to her knees. "I'm so confused. I do not understand what you mean. What do you mean that I am a Warrior, or you were a Warrior and I am your princess too?""My daughter," she said as she placed both of her hands around my face once more. "When the one man touches you, do you get a feeling in your skin that says you want him to touch yo
Chapter 104: The Unexpected QuestionRameric's POV:I knew she was seemingly under some pent-up stress within her own head but I had no idea it was this much to cause her to pass out. She did not like the drink she was provided and I am guessing the taste made her spit it out in a swift manner. I could not help it as I smirked thinking about that memory. I did not see it but I certainly heard it from behind me when I was talking to the others. When I turned around, I took the goblet from her hand and took a drink to make sure there was no issue with its contents. It was sweet and tasted fine. However, I do not think she was used to anything like that so she got rid of it the fastest way she knew how. Earlier when she stood up as I held onto her hands, she was only able to walk a few steps before she collapsed right there on the elevated platform. I am not sure what caused that to happen but I also wasted no time in gathering her frail body up in my arms as I held her close to
