All Chapters of A CUPCAKE FOR MY WARRIOR-MATE: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Chapter 74Germaine could not believe it. Her whole body felt alive, and that damn tightness in her chest which had refused to go when she was away from Keratin, completely eased up. Right now, it felt like her chest sang with joy, make that every part of her being. She knew without a doubt she was meant for this man holding her tightly to his chest.Her arms raised and wound around his neck as she went on tiptoes and nuzzled his neck. He smelt divine - of pine and earth and musk. She drew back and looked up at him. "And I am so happy to be in your arms once more."The blinding smile he gave her melted her heart and at the same time tightened it. Someone coughed and she moved back but Keratin shook his head and tightened his arms around her waist. "My love, I do not want to let you go, not now that I have just found you."Germaine suppressed a laugh. "Please, Ker, I have to say hello to the others. It wouldn

Chapter 76Germaine watched as Keratin crouched at the opening of the hole trying to see inside it. It was pitch black from where she stood, which wasn't far at all. She had always had an inordinate fear of the dark and now that she was willingly going into the abyss, so to speak, it seemed foolhardy of her.Mulling over it in her mind, she knew she had no other choice but to do so. If she backed down now, all the people who looked up to her would deem her a coward. Keratin got onto his hands and knees and stepped inside the hole although he did not go far as he waited for her to follow."Well, here goes something," Germaine murmured to herself and stepped inside after him."Be careful, my lady." The mage spoke up behind her."Try not to bump into anything while down there," Ennie said immediately after."We'll be right behind you." Amelia piped up as well with a tone of excitement in her words.Germaine hear

Chapter 78Germaine woke with a start. For a few seconds, she did not know where she was or who she even was. She looked askance, at the basket in front of the bed that glowed with a yellow, iridescent light and remembered fireflies. Everything came tumbling back into her mind like an information overload thereafter.She sighed and flopped back down onto the bed, her body feeling tired and spent. She closed her eyes, her body needing more rest but the empty gnawing feeling in her stomach made her sit up once more. She knew if she did not eat something soon, she would be weak, making her powers practically null and void. She also knew from experience that when she got this way, she would become antagonistic. She didn't want to offend anyone, so she grudgingly got up on shaky legs.A knock sounded on the door as she got to it and when she opened it, she was surprised to see a young female goblin holding a tray

Chapter 80The following morning, Germaine set out with Dilla and Connie. They did not have a particular destination in mind, but Germaine wanted the spell from Rage lifted off her. Before she left, Keratin begged her to be safe and return on time. He kissed her passionately and said he would count the hours till she was back."Why don't you want Keratin and the others to know about your powers?" Dilla was the first to break the silence.They had just crawled out of the hole and Germaine relished the fresh air as well as the sights and sounds of the boisterous animals all around them. She caught one hanging from a tree and grinned as it snaked up a branch."I don't know." She shrugged. "I'm just reluctant to do so, call it a hunch but something keeps holding me back.""Even to your mate, Keratin?" Dilla persisted.Germaine sighed. "How do I even know he's really my mate? I don't want to make a mistake and the

Chapter 82The party was in full swing and all the goblins had dressed to impress. The females were bedecked in animal hide dresses and long necklaces around their necks and fingers, while the men wore tunics and shorts made from animal hide. Germaine found out Zar bought the jewelry from some merchants who usually came into the forest.Everywhere rang with gaiety and laughter. Flowers cushioned the floor and walls of the hall, and fireflies were let out of their baskets and flew around, lighting up every part of the hall making it look like something out of a fairytale book.Germaine could not contain her excitement. There was something about parties that made her happy and excited. She recalled the last one she attended in the werewolf town of Rim. That was the same day she and Keratin had made love and knew there was a deeper attraction between the two of them. Her face flamed red as she thought about what ha
