Semua Bab The Unwanted Chance: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Rae’s POV   Carefully walking through the trees listening for any sign of Jeong or Zviad. I don’t know where they are, he said they were fighting. You’d think I would hear something. I find myself tripping over exposed roots ever since the sun began going down. It’s getting to difficult to see.   I think I’m going in the right direction. Those orb things came from this direction, maybe, but everything looks different from down here. Ugh.   Stopping beneath a large tree I close my eyes and listen. I can hear the breeze gently rushing through the leaves. There are light humming sounds of insects darting around. I’d say this place was peaceful if not for the whole hunt thing. Out of no where I hear a faint cry in the distance, that must be them! Taking off in the direction of the cry I hope Jeong’s alright.   Jeong’s POV   I may have the upper hand with my speed but every blow Zviad

Rae’s POV   After Jeong stated it being late and going to sleep, I can’t help but stare at the bed. I haven’t been able to sleep in a bed since I’ve been here and boy did it look inviting. Without paying attention to Jeong I climbed into bed and slipped under the covers. It felt wonderful sinking into the mattress and pillow as I closed my eyes and felt at peace.   Opening my eyes I look over at Jeong and notice his jacket is off and now he’s unbuttoning his shirt. I can see his toned chest and abs as he continues to unbutton shirt from top to bottom. Flustered, I sit up gripping the blanket around my body and yell out “What are you doing!?”   With an expression that it’s so obvious he remarks “I’m getting ready to sleep. What does it look like?”   “Why are you taking off your clothes?” What is he thinking? You don’t need to take off your clothes to sleep. Was he lying? Is he planning to take advanta

Jeong’s POV   Leaving Rae in the bathroom I decided to head to the study. Since the bonding I can sense she wont do anything which puts me at ease. I’m sure he’ll be in the study as I walk the unnecessary twists and turns of the hallways. Just like the Compound, this place was also built like a labyrinth.   Upon reaching the study a servant opens the door and bows as I walk past. My father behind his desk over looking some paperwork looks up and raises an eyebrow.   Tapping a finger on the desk “Where is she?” as he looks annoyed.   “I didn’t think it proper for her to come dressed in import attire seeing as you didn’t leave us any time to prepare.” What did you expect old man…   “Very well.” as he leans back in his chair “Now do tell me, what changed your mind after all these years?”   “I haven’t changed my mind. I still mean what I said.” I can’t help but g

Rae’s POV   Jeong leads me towards the garden. Once outside we follow a path down a few steps onto a patio where his father is already there waiting for us. The table was circular that was large enough to fit eight people comfortably. Jeong had me sit at the seat almost across from his father while he took the seat to my right. I’d assume he thought this was the most distance he could get between his father and I.   Not soon after sitting down the servants began bringing carts of food and setting them on the table.   “I wasn’t sure what your preference is so I had them make a little of everything.” said Jeong’s father as he waved off the servants.   The food all looks different from what I’m use to back on Earth. Don’t get me wrong, the food looks delicious but none of it is what I recognize. I can tell what’s meat and whats vegetable maybe? I mean I’m all for trying new things at least once, but thi

Rae’s POV   Jeong lets out a sigh “Yes unfortunately.” as he gazes out the window “What became of this world is the whole reason why I refuse to bring an heir to life. There is no hope for the future.”   He sounds like he is truly disgusted with this world. If he really hates the whole thing then why did he decide to claim me if by claiming me he went against everything he believes in? Was it really because he just wanted to protect me? Then I would have to ask again why me? Why not some other woman? Maybe I shouldn’t worry about it. After all if he keeps his word I am thankful he isn’t going to turn me into some sex slave to bare him children.   Before I can even think about what to even say I feel the carriage turn off the road onto another. Soon I begin seeing what seems to be small homes and apartment buildings. Along the road I see a few stalls selling food, cloth, and other trinkets. It’s so weird, it seems like th
