I Became my Mate's Concubine Chapter 48: Exposed
DEVA LOREN/ LANA ALVAREZThe air between Landon and me changed; he was back to being expressionless and silently following me like before.I was the one who wanted to make a friend out of him...now."Near the oak tree, where the sun first rises shining upon the lone stream from the lane of cabins. I am waiting for you, Deva," Aaron read the note out again.We were out on the road to find her as soon as we read the note."There are quite a good number of cabins here," I sighed."What I find amusing is how she knows your name," Aaron failed to hide his amusement."She just might be the greatest sage of all time. No one knows how she got her powers. We just know that she exists and she uses them for the greater good. Like a hero of some sort," I added to avoid more suspicion. "Anna told me that. And I believe her, given the current circumstances. It only makes sense, does it not?""I hope her powers are strong enough to figure out a solution to the famine before word spreads out too far

DEVA LOREN/ LANA ALVAREZ"Familiar? How so?" Aaron asked me."Perhaps I am too fatigued to think straight, but somewhere in my mind, she-""Do you remember what she wore?" Aaron questioned. "I could send a good part of the men out to look for her.""No," I looked back at the crowd. "There is no point. Like I said, Aaron, I must be imagining things.""True. But do not dismiss your feelings so easily without reason. You cannot suddenly feel something about a person or a thing and say it was nothing." He inched closer. "What you think matters, Deva. A lot more than you know."I inhaled sharply as he said those words to me. Or to Deva. Nonetheless, it was I in this body. I was the one he was speaking to."Thank you," I mumbled."Do not thank me. It is the very least I can do as a friend to you." He gestured to the front of the inn where the staff stood. "Shall we proceed to rest for the night?""Yes, Aaron," I replied, walking in front of him since he had gestured to me.Luckily for me, t

DEVA LOREN/ LANA ALVAREZThe ground beneath me was bumpy as I stirred awake. Two strong hands held my body together before I hit the ground.My eyes fluttered open, and blue eyes met mine, calm as the ocean.Aaron looked rough. His dark hair was messy now, falling over his forehead, no longer neat like before. Sweat clung to his skin, and there were a few cuts on his arms, one deeper one just below his collarbone, showing through a tear in his shirt. His knuckles were bruised. He looked tired but strong, like someone who had just come from a fight and did not care if he bled.He was not wearing his usual fine clothes either. Instead, he wore a loose brown shirt, slightly too big for him, and wore black trousers tucked into old boots. He looked like any other traveler, simple and unnoticeable. But still… something about him stood out. Maybe it was the way he held himself. Or maybe it was just him. He was royal blood after all.His eyes found mine.And I was not the same either.Now I w

DEVA LOREN/ LANA ALVAREZ"You can take the blanket and cover yourself with it. On second thought, I'll sleep on the floor or on the chair," Aaron told me.He had not looked at me much, as if staring would be sinful."We both agreed to share the bed. It's fine. We can separate the bed with the pillows," I told him.Naturally, I should be happy he took the bed because staying close to him would be hard for me.What makes me suddenly comfortable?No, I was not comfortable; my hands trembled slightly as I held a pillow.I was nervous. Never in a million years did I think I would be sharing a bed with him. Not anymore."I can see that it is not completely right with you to be on the same bed with me. And I will not take it; you are sleeping on that cold floor. It is odd to think of. I bet you have never slept on one," he teased."Funny of you to assume," I mumbled under my breath.Lana slept on the cold floor.On the dirt of the earth.On a hard bed.It was not new to me."And I cannot let
I Became my Mate's Concubine Chapter 44: Long Night
DEVA LOREN/ LANA ALVAREZWe had finally reached near South at night. The fields had thinned, and our carriage wheels began grinding against gravel paths instead of dirt. We had left the main roads two hours ago, or maybe more. Time didn’t stretch the same out here; it dragged. Perhaps it was because we were in the carriage for so long.Aaron hadn’t said much since our last conversation. He kept to himself, mostly, reading the movement of the terrain or speaking softly to one of the guards riding ahead. I didn’t blame him. I was tired too. Hungry in a way I couldn’t feed, not for food, but for the troubles holding me down.We were entering a village I did not know the name of, had not even seen on any map. The locals called it Verrenpath, or something that sounded like that when one of the guards asked. It was tucked far into a sloping dip between hills, surrounded by rough stone walls, chipped and mismatched like they were built in a rush and never fixed again. Vines climbed over ever

DEVA LOREN/ LANA ALVAREZ.It took a while as Aaron drilled Anna again. We were departing to find Ember.The morning sun was soft, not too bright yet, and the courtyard smelled faintly of pinewood and dew. Carriages stood ready by the main steps, one for Aaron and me, and another for the guards and two of the servants we trusted. A few horses were saddled for the rest of the guards traveling with us. We were keeping it small on purpose. Quiet. I had insisted. Aaron saw reason with me.Sophie ought to accompany Aaron instead, but she was confined to the areas of her chambers.Anna stood a little off to the side, arms folded over her chest, trying to look calm. But I could tell. She was biting the inside of her cheek, like she always did when something was bothering her. She looked at me now like she wasn’t sure she wanted to hug me or scold me.“I still think you should let someone else go in your place,” she said. Her voice was steady, but her eyes were wet. "You've never traveled so f
