Chapter 44 | Punishment
The house was unusually loud today. Marcus's sudden arrival had my whole family, including the extended members go crazy with whipping out several dishes.
"He's just one person! And he doesn't eat much at other people's homes." I tried to stop my mom from serving huge heaps of a dozen items.
Marcus's forehead creased with a frown. I closely observed his eating habits when we were traveling back from the fortress.
"You talk like you know a lot about me." He muttered while looking at my mom for more colcannon.
"So buttery, I love this!" He said, eating it too quickly.
"Your wife made it." My mom's words made my face turn beet red.
"It's nice and buttery but a little too salty for my taste. I am not a fan of cabbage."
He changed his opinion on the dish. What was he trying to achieve by pissing me off more?
"Looks like you are not the only one that's pissed off here," Iona whispered to me.
"What the hell should he be ma

Marcus got hold of me when I was slowly sliding out of bed."Stay for a few more minutes," He said pulling me close and pressing a kiss on my cheek."Aren't you starving? It must be lunchtime already. I can smell fried onions and garlic.""Mmm me too! I have to go out for a little bit after lunch... will be back before dinner.""I was looking forward to spending the day with you.""I would have loved to. No one knows that I am here. I was supposed to take care of more useless peace treaties further east. I sent Max to do that for me. But I have to meet Dumnones today.""Who are Dumnones?""Dumnonii tribe is another tribe like yours. We have plans to build a Roman settlement there. But right now the harbor is only accessible by water. The military enclosure will need access by road. Exporting tin will be a lot more efficient too if there's a road. They are known for tin mining.""So if that tribe had silver mines and mine had ti

Training with Aiden was a nightmare today. Marcus promised to talk more at night and left to meet the Dumnonii tribe after lunch. He figured out most of the crazy stuff on his own these last couple of days. The weight of many things untold got lighter unexpectedly this noon. I just had to reveal one last thing and the hardest thing... that I was not Allena.I rehearsed my lines several times, imagining a different reaction from him each time."Allena, why the fuck didn't you go with him if you were going to think about him all day anyway? Aiden spat in irritation."I need this. I feel stressed.""About what? You have to focus, or just get the hell out.""I'll do better, I promise!"It was much easier on other days when Aiden had me do a mix of things for hours; sprinting, working the core, thrusting heavy wooden weapons at a fast pace, and my least favorite of all, wrestling.Today was the fateful day where wrestling was the main focus. Allena was good at kicking and hitting but unfort

We laid on the grass, feeling spent and blissful."I have been meaning to ask you something since our wedding night," Marcus said with a sudden frown on his face.He yanked me into an embrace and pulled me on top of him, staring at me. His moves were gentle but his face and body looked tense."Ask what?""Who the fuck is Jon?" His tone was lightly admonishing."Er..." I cracked an anxious smile at him."I wanted to lay next to you that night, even if it was just for a little bit. I wasn't very confident because I expected you to have feelings for Neill. I was careful not to wake you up---""So you did kiss me that night? And untied my knot?!" I asked interrupting him, almost forgetting about his previous question.He paused for a few seconds before saying, "I did. I wanted to take you into my arms too but you had that silly thing in your hair that scratched my face when I got close.""It's your silly custom. You have no

There were wounded bodies lying all over the hillfort grounds, soaked in blood and rain. Everything happened so fast that we couldn't wrap our heads around the events of the night until around dawn.It started raining right after Marcus left me with Iona in the house, which was probably around 3 AM. The fighting continued for another hour or so until all the attackers were either dead or had fled.Aiden and Marcus captured four people alive but they succumbed to their fatal wounds before they got medical help. No answers could be extracted from anyone as to who planned the attack.Neill's father was severely injured before he got hold of one of the raiders. It proved futile though because some of these raiders were just paid fighters who were clueless about where the orders came from."This happens all the time," Selma said. "The hillfort offers some protection but we still get attacked a lot. Most tribes do. We had some peace for the last several weeks b

We stayed at my home for two more days, making sure that Devin was back to being all healthy and his usual goofy self.While returning to Marcus's family home, he had an idea when we reached the river crossing."I think we should try to see how the stones work. The caves are perfect places to create portals without drawing attention.""You mean now?""Why not? If it works, we will just see where it takes us, and we will be back in a couple of hours.""Time works differently though. If we go to the future, a couple of hours spent there equals a day here... I think. One day there is a week here, so you do the math. I suck at it.""Holy smoke!""But I think it's a great idea. We should eat some pizza and come back! Yes!! There's this awesome place in Chicago, we should go!""What the hell is a pizza?""Oh, it's the best thing! We have to see if this takes us to Chicago because we are going to need some money, and I can't ge

After losing almost thirty minutes, thanks to Marcus and his horniness, he said "We should resume this after we reach the caves."I smacked him on his chest for leaving me wanting more."We don't have much time left to shop. Let's see if anything from my stepdad's wardrobe fits you. He is pretty fit and athletic. We will take at least a jacket from here."I saw my cell phone, CTA train pass, and wallet that I took to the coffee shop all lying on the side table."Oh yes! I'll make reservations for the restaurant."The battery was at 5%. Someone went through my phone because it wasn't locked anymore. I plugged it into the power outlet, made reservations, and walked to Marcus with the phone."Let me show you something. Smile!" I took a selfie and showed it to him."Wow! This is trickier than any sorcery! And we look so good together.""We do!!""Can we not take it with us?""It needs the power to charge. Else, it wil

December 25, 4 PM in Brimley, Upper Peninsula of MichiganThird person’s POVAlyssa’s parents, the Crowes, were enjoying a quiet Christmas dinner at her step-grandparents’ cabin. It has become their tradition for the past seven years to travel to the cabin in the woods to spend their winter holidays.“I’m so glad you didn’t bring that emo kid along this time. My son does so much for her but she’s such an ungrateful brat. Has she---" Alyssa's grandma was cut off.“Have some mercy! She’s still my daughter and is in a coma for the past five days.” Alyssa’s mom snapped at her.“It’s all your fault! You are too self-absorbed to care about her whereabouts.

I know you hate my wife and her daughter, but they are my family, our family. Maria has proven to be the best that my kids could ever ask for. You know how much they love her.

"Allena! The sorcerer's apprentice is here. What are you still doing?"Marcus was all ready for our next adventure. He walked to stand next to me and waited impatiently, looking at my reflection in the mirror.I coated my eyelashes with mascara, popped on some nude lipstick, and set my face with a setting spray. "What's the point in applying such a color?" He smirked, examining my peachy nude lipstick."You obviously know nothing about the 2019 lipstick trends.""All I care about is that they are waterproof." He placed several pecks on my lips."We are late!" I put some distance between us and grabbed the parchment scroll that we might need for the trip.We were still tired because it was only a few hours earlier that we returned from Allena's home. Logan stopped by to meet Marcus before leaving for the fortress. So I was going to give the books that I borrowed from the French town library to him; they were probably past the due date for returning.I had lost hope of finding anything
