Chapter 40: What's Going On Now?Maisie's POV:As I continued to sit there on the bed quietly, I was not exactly sure what to think about what just happened. The fact that I have yet to be punished by Him or in His presence was really starting to make me wonder exactly what was going on. Why was He not taking matters into His own hands and fulfilling the punishment that was started earlier this morning? If that is the case, could things actually really be different? Why would He want to do all those things for me? None of that made any sense.As I continued to think about this, I thought of the different times He was around me. What He did to keep me from getting punished or hurt in fact. That was not at all what I was used to. I was not sure what to think about any of this. My mother said I would never amount to anything. She spoke it frequently in fact. She even said that morning that one of my siblings would take their rightful place by His Highness' side, but the question remained
Chapter 41: Did I Really Speak Out Loud!? Maisie's POV: Did I really do it? I did, I really did it. Wait, did I really speak out loud!? I realized I did speak out loud and it was a simple one-word answer. He then sat back a bit still with His arms wrapped around me. He even had His face leaning to the side a bit as He tried to look at my face. Seeing Him do this, I leaned back so I could look at His as well. He also seemed a bit shocked I said anything just now. Well, I guess I could try to speak with Him, even if it was a one-word answer. The question is now, what is going to happen? Will everything He said so far be a lie and I get punished? "Baby girl, did you just say the word no?" He asked, letting me know I was right when I thought He was shocked. "Y-yes," I said in another low whisper. "I am pleased you are speaking with me," He said as He looked around the room before He looked back at me. I ev
Chapter 42: No One Toucher HerAlpha King Caspian's POV:I had to say this next part was really going to be an experience for her. I knew what to expect from the Aides about to enter the room, however, I knew she would be fearful about the machine they were going to bring close to her. After I thought about it, it might have been a better idea for us to take her all the way down to radiology. That way, everything would already be in the room and all she had to do was stand there. However, knowing all of that, I was not exactly sure if she would be able to stand up for the procedure, which is why I suggested they bring the machine here to my suite.Maxwell told me how many people were outside the door and they were ready to begin. However, before I allowed him to let them in the room I told him to wait so I could prepare her for what was about to happen. I wanted her to know she was not going to be touched by anyone else. Also fo
Chapter 43: Let The Excitement CommenceAlpha King Caspian's POV:After a few more moments, I heard the door to my suite finally open and I could hear someone enter the room. Before she walked around the corner of the wall, however, I heard the door close first. I wondered what she was doing or even possibly thinking about. Usually, Dani would just try to burst her way into the room, trying to push her way past Maxwell to get to me so she could give me a piece of her mind. Knowing this, she did not do that today. So, when she finally walked around the corner, she just stood there and studied our Mate who was still sitting up on the bed.She finally opened up her mouth so she could speak. I had to say, I was a bit surprised when no words came out. Was she actually speechless just now?! Well, that was the first time this ever happened. I'll certainly have to remember this moment when she couldn't speak, as she sounded so upset on
Chapter 44: When The Time ComesAlpha Hemming's POV:I have really been looking forward to being able to return back home for coming up on 20 years now. I knew before we all had to come here, there was a possibility of getting trapped here, which is exactly what ended up happening. When I think about it, about everyone I had to leave behind, at times it makes me wonder if it was all worth it up to this point. I wondered if I was ever going to be able to return home at all. However, knowing all of that, I knew what was at stake if I did not go when the time came. No one prepared us for the opposition we came against after we got here. We even entered this rival land in the dead of night, as to make as little of a disturbance at the border when we crossed over.We were sent here to do one job. That one job was to find out if the threats toward our Grand Alpha, His Royal Highness, and His family were true to not. If I had to say, w
Chapter 45: Going On A Walk Alpha Hemming's POV: I was in total shock and disbelief at that very moment. Exactly what happened!? What were the details around that? How did it happen? Did anyone of my other nation's Warriors try to stop them?! I had to admit I was swarmed by a massive amount of questions at that point and I lost the ability to stand. I really wanted to know what happened. However, there was nothing I could do to change anything. I could not believe my ears. I wondered if there is anything we could have done differently to prevent this from happening. Did I really fail my Grand Alpha as I was not there to help protect him? From that point, I knew the road ahead was going to be very long and trying. I opened up my eyes to the sound of someone knocking on my door. As I looked toward the door, it started to open without my saying anything. &nb
Chapter 46: My Chance To Escape?Hemming's POV:I swiftly made my way from my room down to the dining hall. When I reached the entrance, I walked in to see some of the other Warriors eating their first meal of the day. A lot of them looked around to watch me come in. I ignored their expressions and looked around myself till I saw who it was that I was looking for. Nathan was leaning against the opposite wall beside another door that led to the outside via a separate back corridor with a cup in one hand as his arms were crossed. I looked away as I walked over to the selection counter, grabbed a toasted bagel and some bacon and placed it on a plate setting there, then walked over to grab a drink.Once I had a few other items I turned to head and sit down with the rest of the Warriors already sitting at the table in the center of the room. There were minimal conversations going on and they
Chapter 47: The Sight Before YouAlpha Hemming's POV:Now granted they do have vehicles to travel here and there with, among other places like other villages. Despite that, I never traveled with them, no matter if they were going to train at a different location or now. The fact that they wanted me to join along today made me really wonder what I was going to be facing here when we finally got there. I could not shake the feeling in the back of my mind that this was some kind of setup.However, the Warriors loved to walk and travel to various places on foot. They could get around a lot quicker when they shifted into their wolves and a whole lot quieter. No, having to worry, about 'where did we park the car?'. It was another way for them to sneak up on people as some of the different Warriors in this particular group were indeed cunning, not to mention ruthless. If you asked me, I think t
