All Chapters of Luna's Revenge: Willow Baker's Marriage Request: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Willow Baker POVWhile it was good that Diana had recovered, my mind couldn't get off of packs. I hadn't thought about joining a pack when I had come up with my plan. I didn't think I needed to, as I thought I wouldn't be welcomed in one even if I did end up as Maverick's wife.It was strange to think that I was going to be part of a pack and a powerful one at that when I had expected to be a rogue for the rest of my life. I wasn't sure what to think of this.'Take it as a gift for what it is. It can only be good to be part of a pack if it's like they say it is.'I wanted to, but it just seemed to be too good to be true. A pack that cared for its members and didn't treat them poorly was a dream come true.That wasn't taken into consideration what it would mean if I did join the pack. Since Maverick was the future Grand Duke and the current Grand Duke was the Alpha of their pack, that would

Willow Baker POVI was glad that they didn't stop because of me, but at the same time, it bothered me that they didn't push for me to leave or offer to push the conversation off to another time. I knew it was dumb of me to be thinking this way.'It's not. You have every right to be upset.''They're doing everything in their power to help me. I have no right to complain.''It's your fucking life. Of course you have a right to complain.'Biting down on my lips, I listened vaguely to Rickey explain what he was thinking while the Peterson family added or countered several points. I kept myself occupied by focusing on Asa, with Sheila standing at my side as she had nothing to contribute to the conversation.Soon we had a concrete story we were going to go with that hinged on falsifying my ancestry and how I ended up with my parents. Unfortunately, I had nothing to o

Willow Baker POVAwkward was the only thing I could think of. This was definitely far too personal for us to be here, and I was looking for the exits so I could jump ship before it was too late.Maverick shifted uneasily beside me. Despite his blank expression, I suspected he was also as uncomfortable as I was. I still couldn't read the Grand Duke or the Grand Duchess's expressions."Rickey," said Sheila, with a waver in her tone. He didn't respond, choosing to look away from her. "Has this been bothering you this whole time?"Finally, he sighed and said, "I know you want a child, and we've been trying for years without any success. If you had married someone else, you might have had a horde of children by now.""Oh, Rickey," she said as she placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Even if we can't have children, there's no one else I would want to marry."They gazed into each other's eyes. Now I was uncomfortable for a completely different reason."Are you sure you want to do this?

Maverick Peterson POV'Do you really believe what she said? It's a bit farfetched, don't you think?''It does explain a few things.'I was still trying to wrap my head around the Moon Goddess interfering with mortal affairs. That wasn't to say she never did it before, but the cases were few and far between.Now that I knew about her involvement, I could see why Willow was so insistent about asking for my protection. To think she would have died and Asa would be taken away to be raised as a slave if she didn't reach me in time.When I heard about the latter, I swore I would storm right out and track them down and kill them. However, it didn't happen yet, which meant if I did act on my rage, it would appear to be an unprovoked attack. Then we would be the ones painted as the villains.'That's only if we leave any witnesses or evidence.'While that was true, I doubt I would be in the right frame of mind to make sure to clean up after myself if I saw them. I would probably be overcome wit

Willow Baker POVCaught off guard by the change in topic, I could only go along with what he said. Taking my seat, I examined the papers in front of me. This was the latest and final version.My eyes skimmed the content, as most of it was still the same as in the previous version. It basically stated what was expected of both parties as well as stipulations and penalties if either party failed to keep their word or other possible scenarios.Earlier versions were strangely lopsided, with me greatly benefiting from the contract, but I rejected them. The reason was simple. I didn't want people to think I was taking advantage of the Peterson family.What were people supposed to expect if they heard I was getting a large sum of money each month that could easily support a commoner for the rest of their life. I had to fight him to make it more realistic.The only person with any sense regarding the contr
