Chapter 24
Willow Baker POV
I rocked Asa back and forth as I hummed, but despite my best efforts, she didn't seem interested in quieting down. In fact, it looked like she was getting annoyed with me instead.
After the awkward meeting with Maverick, Asa, for some reason, appeared to be unhappy with me. I tried everything I could think of to make her happy, but nothing was working. Not even my meager experience from the other life was enough to solve the problem in front of me.
I sighed, wishing Sheila was here. She would know what to do. I should have asked Maverick about seeing her, but his conversation had distracted me enough to keep me from asking him about her and Rickey.
It shouldn't have taken him long to reach the border and wonder where we went after seeing we weren't there. I wouldn't be surprised if he caught sight of us teleporting away.
Hopefully, I will hear news about him soon. The alternative w

Willow Baker POVDespite my confusion, I saw no reason not to comply with his demand. He probably wanted to know my version of the events since Sheila might have missed some things in her version.By the end of my story, the grim expressions on their faces told me that something was seriously off, but I couldn't figure out what it was.Have I forgotten something?Suddenly, Sheila stood up as she declared, "He's a terrible man."Unsure about who she was talking about, I turned to Ricky for answers. He only nodded along with Sheila's words as she continued to rant about how whoever she was talking about was a horrible person and that what he did was unforgivable.Fortunately, she made sure to keep her voice at normal room volume. It would have been better for us to whisper in Asa's presence, but whispering the whole conversation was a bit much, and she was clearly in a deep sleep, so it sh

Willow Baker POVAfter adverting disaster with Sheila and Rickey, though they didn't seem too pleased with me, we had a somewhat pleasant evening. There wasn't much to talk about or anything to do really. The people here hadn't exactly provided us with anything to entertain ourselves with.It was still nice to bask in the presence of people I knew before they were forced back to their rooms by the knights and servants posted outside the door.I hadn't even known they were there, though it should have been obvious from the beginning that Sheila and Rickey couldn't be allowed to walk around unsupervised, especially after what Rickey did.The next few days followed the same repetitive schedule of waking up, caring for Asa, having breakfast, caring for Asa, maybe exploring, caring for Asa, having lunch, caring for Asa, staying in my room, caring for Asa, having dinner, caring for Asa, and going to bed.

Willow Baker POVIf it weren't for the servants "helping" me get into the dress given to me in preparation for the meal with the Grand Duke, I would be pacing back and forth in panic. This was the Grand Duke, Maverick's father, after all. I had no idea how I was supposed to act in his presence.My original plan had not accounted for this. In my previous life, the current Grand Duke was no longer an issue. I wasn't sure what happened to him or the Grand Duchess, but that didn't matter right now.What mattered was that in a few minutes I was going to be eating in the same room as him and had to make a good impression. I couldn't afford to upset or anger him in any way.It didn't matter that Maverick agreed to help me if his father put his foot down. As the Grand Duke, his word was law, and Maverick would have no choice but to obey.'Calm down. Getting worked up over what ifs isn't going to help a

Willow Baker POVUnder the intense stares, I took the only seat available, which was next to Maverick, and remained silent, waiting for one of them to talk first. Asa, on the other hand, had no problem babbling away as she reached out for Maverick. Hesitantly, I held her close, despite how she babbled unhappily at being denied.While I knew this was the first time in a long time since she'd seen her father, the current situation wasn't one where I could happily hand her over to her father. At least not with how intensely everyone was looking at me.'Awkward much. Why isn't anyone saying anything?'"I have no clue, but it would be nice if someone would start talking and get this over with.'No one said a word as our meal was brought to us. Everything looked delicious, but my stomach rebelled at the thought.How was I supposed to eat in such a stressful situation?

Maverick Peterson POVI slammed my fist against the table, jostling the contents of our meal. Fortunately, nothing spilled, though it had been close, but that wasn't what occupied my mind. Rather, my focus was on Willow, who fell silent and held a hand against her head as her face pinched in confusion. I wasn't the only one.My mother and brother had grim expressions as they turned their gaze from Willow to my father. On the other hand, my father didn't seem at all perturbed by the attention. Instead, his focus was solely on Willow.Asa glared back as she babbled away. Her intelligence was remarkable for an infant that hadn't reached six months. She had deduced what had actually happened and was upset over it, as she should be.The use of magic on family members outside of healing or helping was something looked down upon, yet my father dared to use his magic to compel Willow to give him the answers he was lo
Luna's Revenge: Willow Baker's Marriage Request Chapter 30
Willow Baker POVMy mind was still reeling after leaving the dinner with Maverick, who had insisted on speaking with me privately. Asa happily babbled in her father's arms, leaving me with nothing to occupy my hands or distract me from my thoughts.I wasn't sure what had just happened, but with how everyone was reacting, it couldn't be anything good.One moment I had been spilling my guts for no reason, and the next I had been surrounded by unhappy demon blooded werewolves. It wasn't much to go on since everyone around me had demon blood, but I hazarded a guess that it was a demon thing.Demon magic was said to do incredible things, so it wasn't a jump to believe that the Grand Duke had used his magic to compel me to answer his questions, which explained my inability to keep my mouth shut.What I didn't understand was everyone's reaction to it. If I had such an ability, I would use it all the time,
Luna's Revenge: Willow Baker's Marriage Request Chapter 31
Willow Baker POVIt was exactly as I had suspected. He was here to tell me that the marriage wasn't going to happen and kick me out while keeping Asa in his care.My hands curled into fists in my lap underneath the table, and I bit the inside of my cheek. I made sure to keep my thoughts out of my expression so it wouldn't be obvious that I knew what he was planning to say. Even if I didn't like what was going to happen, I wanted to hear it coming straight from his mouth.I silently cursed my powerlessness. Even after being given this second chance by the Moon Goddess, I still couldn't accomplish anything. It was a waste on her part, and I didn't know why she even bothered to give me this second chance, no matter how grateful I was."I currently have the papers in my office, but I wanted to go over the details with you before we go through with this plan," he said.Caught off guard, all I could do w
Luna's Revenge: Willow Baker's Marriage Request Chapter 32
Willow Baker POVThe two of us stared at each other in shock. I hadn't talked disrespectfully to him since I arrived there. If I had any ill thoughts, I had kept it shut in my mind. After all, I was reliant on his hospitality. Offending the one person who could decide what would happen to me and the people I care about was the dumbest thing I could do.'Yet you did it anyway.''I'm so screwed.'What was I supposed to do in this situation? Should I apologize?It had already been several minutes since I had shouted at him. I wasn't sure if it was too late for me to apologize now or if I should just wait for him to react. If I waited for him to react, though, he might get angry that I didn't apologize to him.His next words stopped my train of thought. "It seems that it really bothered you."Unsure how to react, I remained silent and waited for him to continue.
