Kahlan POV"Elder!" A maid called and moved closer just as I was battling to show my anger. Maybe I would have hit her if someone hadn't shown up. Even though I knew she was one of the elders and obviously stronger than I am."I think you should come to the kitchen, your attention is needed there right now," the maid informed.Charlotte regarded me for another moment with a dirty look. "Sure but you should escort Kahlan to Naomi's room," she told her and turned to look at me. " Be a good girl and I might decide to spare your life for now," she warned.I opened my mouth to say something but decided against it quickly. She doesn't worth my words anyways, none of them does. Not even Eric that acts as if he loves me but is only concerned about having an heir.The maid turned to look at me, "let's go," she said and started walking away.My gaze searched around the room quickly before I followed her. Actually, I thought Hardin could be somewhere in the hall but I was wrong.Maybe he's scare
Kahlan POVThe door burst open suddenly and I heard loud footsteps towards me.Naomi was losing it and she might actually stop breathing if I didn't stop. Yet, I didn't want to. I felt so angry, and it seemed to have doubled my power.I'm going to kill everyone today! I mean everyone! I'm not going to take any chances.Even if I'm unable to avenge my parents' death, I know someone else will do so.I felt hands around my body as they tried to push me away but my hold was strongly around Naomi's neck. Naomi's eyes were closed and I knew she was finally going but I wasn't even bothered. I will rather kill her, die than die alone.I struggled until many hands finally pulled me away from her.I heard her coughing as some men rushed to her."No! Let me kill her!" I yelled as I struggled more. The men's hold on me was firm but I was still able to push myself around.Naomi sat up and looked at me. Her face was red."What's happening here?" A voice demanded suddenly as Charlotte stepped inside
Eric POVI looked at Nyall from the other side of the fire. "When is James coming back?" "Next week. He's coming back with Jade," he announced.I nodded briefly. Jade is James's mate and they've been together for five years. I've always envied their relationship, not in a bad way anyways.I let out a sigh and stared up at the half-moon. "Do you think I would ever get mated to Kahlan?"Nyall regarded me for a moment. " Do you want to mate with her? Or do you just wish she would give you an heir?"The question went deep in me but I didn't think too long before I could proffer a solution. I've started seeing what I want with Kahlan. Having an heir is good but I'm not overly concerned about it, not anymore. I just want Kahlan. I want her as my Luna, forever."Are you finding it difficult to answer? Well, you need to be able to answer that question. That's the only way you can keep pushing this," Nyall voiced and added a log of sticks to the fire.I regarded Nyall for another moment. "I
Eric POVI couldn't move for a moment. It felt like my brain was temporarily shut down.Who the fuck did this? I could feel anger seep into me. I was filled with anger as I took large strides toward her.When I was close enough, her eyes were closed and it looked like she had lost consciousness.Her hair was glued together, with soaked Flour and eggs. Who the fuck did this to her?Ok, maybe I shouldn't be asking that question when I know who it could be. The ropes were hard around her and we're already bringing out her blood. The flesh was unable to heal because the damage that was caused was still there. I brought out my claws, angrily and tore the ropes into pieces.Kahlan fell into my embrace and I could scent different things on her. Yet, I scooped her into my arms and started towards my room. Some maids hurried out of a room close by. On seeing me, they moved backward and bowed.I didn't say anything and continued toward my room. I need to take care of Kahlan first. I didn't e
Kahlan POV Suddenly, I'm awake. I felt a bit lighter. Though, it looked like I could scent everything around me, from the bed to the steak on the table.My eyes flew open suddenly, as my stomach rumbled. I felt so hungry.I pulled the blanket away from my body and my eyes went toward the food on the table. I rushed forward and it was indeed steak.I was a bit skeptical, as I discovered that my sense of smell wasn't like this. Well, it could be because I'm so hungry.Happily, I delved into the food hungrily as if there was someone close by that was going to take it away from me.Almost halfway, I realized something I hadn't initially. When I was coming over to the table from the bed, it looked as though I was a bit faster.It couldn't have been anything, right? Because I'm not really thinking well.Wait a moment! Where am I?My eyes went wide with shock as the question settled in. The steak was almost over now, though I still felt hungry, it was manageable.Why does it look like somet
Eric POVI regarded her for a moment, the way she contoured her face. She looked so cute but it won't make me forget what I plan on doing with Charlotte, Naomi, and the rest of the elders."What? What?" She demanded, with express that showed she was confusedI didn't have to tell her before she would know. She's just not paying attention to the changes. She should be the one to know she's pregnant. Meanwhile, there's a lot to do already.Kahlan is going to return to her room because I won't let her give birth in a dungeon. My son will know nothing of such."Because it's the right thing to do now. I will not give anyone the space to use you anyhow and I'm serious about it," I muttered thickly. I really want her to believe me.I desperately wanted her to believe that I would not hurt a hair of hers, and talk more about hurting her parents. Maybe if I continued to show her, she would see through the lies that my brother has created.Meanwhile, I need to settle matters with my brother and
Kahlan POV I was still shocked to say a word. I mean I don’t even know what is happening. It looked like I was dreaming until I decided to sleep and I woke up in bed again. I’ve been trying to wake up from the nightmare.Why would Eric make such a decision? Why would he want me to move to a room instead of the dungeon? There must be something wrong somewhere but what can that be?The fact that I’m unable to find out what that thing is makes me feel very frustrated.That aside, I keep scenting things so well. I can’t believe my sense of smell is getting so good.“You look happy,” a familiar, yet strange voice reached my ears suddenly. It was followed by this strange scent as well.I turned to look at Hardin. The scent that followed him was not the one I was used to scenting. There was a huge mixture and it looked like I had only been scenting the smaller part, the biggest part made me feel very powerful.I don’t want to admit it but I’m feeling strange this morning.“What are you doin
Sonia POVI watched the maid walk out, to look back at the two ladies staring right at me as if I were a monster. Maybe I am."What? Aren't we supposed to go to the Alpha's room right now? He's back and would need a change of clothes, " the one I like calling Bet said suddenly.These two have names but I prefer calling them by their nicknames.I snarled. "You wouldn't dare! I'm the only one going in now."" But_," Kim started. " According to the rule, we're supposed to serve Alpha together today. It isn't our day off."" But I'm going to make it one!" I said quickly while drawing out my claws and fangs. I don't care if I have to resort to violence to pass my message. The two ladies adjusted backward in fear. There is no match for me anyways. "Are you sure about this, Sonia?" Bet inquired.I pulled in my fangs and smiled at them. " As long as you don't interrupt me, I'm fine. You all should use that opportunity to rest, you've been working too hard recently."The two looked at themse
