Luna's Revenge: Willow Baker's Marriage Request のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 191 - チャプター 200

Maverick Peterson POVSeeing how Asa was hesitant to even touch me was a stab in the heart, but I couldn't blame her. It was my own fault for not being aware of her presence and being careful about letting out my bloodlust.It was already fortunate enough that she hadn't outright screamed bloody murder while being close to me, much less been willing to be held by me. I would have to think about ways to make it up to her for scaring her.Glancing away from Asa, I saw that Willow was anxiously watching us on the sidelines. She was likely making sure that Asa was comfortable with me and was ready to take her from me at the first sign of discomfort.The sight of her worrying over Asa made my blood boil as I recalled what we had just been talking about. I still found it hard to accept that Willow would come up with such a plan given how much she cared about Asa.In fact, I couldn't imagine her being able to come up with this plan all on her own. That wasn't to say she wasn't smart, but she

Willow Baker POVSteeling myself for the encounter, I plastered on a smile. As if sensing my negative emotions, Asa whined as she hid her face in my chest just as the duo stopped in front of us.My eyes noticed that they weren't holding hands or touching each other. They were either not a couple or they didn't want to flaunt their relationship in front of everyone. I could hear Winter scoffing in the background.'That's a little hard to believe.'That was true. The latter was a bit hard to accept, as Rose would never willingly agree to feign not knowing Shawn. Given her personality, she would want everyone to know that she managed to catch Shawn.It would have been a different matter if Shawn had been someone of lower status. Then I could see why she would act as if they didn't know each other. Of course, there could be circumstances forcing Rose to act this way.However, I had no clue what they could be, and I honestly didn't care as long as it didn't affect me or my family. Still, i

Rose had never been so humiliated in her entire life. She couldn't understand how it could have happened in the first place. It was like everyone was blind to the slave's faults.'How could anyone fall for her tricks?''They don't know her like we do. Also, she managed to create a sob story to fool everyone.'The reminder threw her into a frenzy, and she nearly kicked a table if it weren't for Shawn. He had touched her for the first time since they encountered each other, and it had only been to stop her from venting her anger."Why did you stop me?" she snapped.Shawn glared at her and asked, "Do you want to be kicked out of the celebration? You've been warned."She ripped her arm out of his grasp and returned his glare with her own. "Why didn't you support me? You just stood there and slobbered all over her, and don't lie. I saw it."When she saw how he looked at that bitch, she thought she would burst a vein. Shawn was supposed to be hers. As she was basically the next head of Prer

Willow Baker POVThis caused the man to frown. "Are you truly not worried about the future?"If only he knew. Of course, I had no intention of telling him that around this time I should have already been dead at the hands of Rose and Shawn. That was information reserved for those I believed deserved to know it."While your concern is flattering, I don't think you should be worried about my future," I said."You should consider what the Grand Duke did," the man said.Finally, he was getting to the important part. I was worried that I would have to actually start the conversation myself. Maverick and Mildred had emphasized that I should make the representative reveal what he knew first.This would allow me to gauge what I should or shouldn't say to him. However, if he had kept avoiding the topic, I could show my hand a little to prevent the conversation from ending too quickly."What do you mean?" I asked even though I had an idea of what he was going to say."The Grand Duke has declare

Willow Baker POVThe man stood up as he continued, "You're the anomoly."Backing away, I said, "I don't know what you're talking about."Suddenly, he lunged at me. I didn't even get a chance to defend myself as he grabbed one of my arms. However, I had been taking a step back, so the force of his lunge and grab sent me tumbling back.He didn't seem to expect this either, as he fell forward with the momentum. My head slammed into the door as I was pinned to it because of the man's body. Trying to shake off my dizziness, I struggled in his grip."Stop fighting. I'm not trying to hurt you," he said.'As if I'll believe that. You're literally manhandling me.''Swap out with me.'I hesitated. While there was nothing keeping me from transforming like before, I wasn't sure if I should. My position wasn't ideal, and transforming would leave me vulnerable. However, I couldn't see another way.As I felt my body shift, I saw the man's eyes widen. Realizing what I was trying to do, I felt him tig
