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

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

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

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

Eric POVI looked at myself in the mirror and a smile appeared on my face. I love the way I look. Nyall should already be waiting for me outside because I can't wait anymore.A soft knock sounded on my door and Nyall walked inside before I could say a word.I turned around and realized he brought me the two maids that I have permitted to stay with Kahlan all the time. "Here, I've gathered the others at the ground but I think these maids will have something to tell you," Nyall explained.I nodded once and took two heavy strides closer. "Raise your heads," I ordered.The maids shivered but they complied."Tell me the reason why you left Kahlan when I clearly told you otherwise?" My voice was hard intentionally. I wanted to scare them. Well, it's how I've been doing all these years and people keep thinking I'm a hard Alpha.The maids fell to the floor. "We are so sorry!" They chorused at the same time." It wasn't our intention to leave her," one of them started. " Some men came to get
