Redeemed By The Alpha のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

"Does it matter? I don't think so! Loius, you have nothing to worry about. You are in safe hands, that I can assure you!" Eric's words were meant to reassure me of their support, as long as they live, I will be safe and no one will burn me at the stake. "Thank you so much, Eric," I told him with all my heart. We have been resting under the oak tree for about two hours now. Ammon had told us that, once we recover our strength will walk home, to his cottage in the middle of the lonely woods. Suddenly, Ammon stood up. "Get up everyone, I think we have had enough rest, it's time to move on, for the journey at hand is a long one." He hardly finished when an arrow from an unknown destination hit Eric hard in the chest. At once, we all got up in shock and rushed to him but, Steve took another hit in the process. It was no longer a fantasy, it was real! We were under attack from unknown enemies. The Alpha grabbed me by the hands and dragged me across a short distance. I fell so hard to the

"Oh, thank goodness!" Began the Alpha. There was a little glimpse of a smile on his face despite the fact, that he had injuries from the heatings he had sustained from the Magaritha, Bradley, Eric and indeed, the entire Revolutionists with the attackers. Bring the book over here.""One minute please." I went into the other room to fetch the magic book. I returned with it in my right hand. "There you go!" I handed it over to him. There was a brief smile on his face when he held the book in his hand even though, he might be reeling from the pain that has been inflicted on him. Next, he looked at me. "When will you start studying the book to master the proceedings for the ritual?""Now!" I told him with a smile on my face which I'm sure at the moment, he was not expecting. He glanced at me in amazement maybe, he wasn't expecting to hear from me. "Why are you staring at me that way?"He looked away when I asked why he was looking at me. "Nothing! I think your decision is perfect!""Yeah,

The joy in our hearts was enormous. At last, the three of us reunited once again although, one was still missing, Steve. "Shall we sit?" Eric pointed at the sits as if he was showing them to the Alpha. "Sure we can," replied the Alpha as both of them moved to sit down. I also stayed beside the Alpha to listen to all Eric had to tell us about his ugly experience as a prisoner in the hands of the Revolutionists or, whatever they were called. "Why am I seeing so many scars on your body?" Eric appeared to be concerned about the numerous wounds he had seen in the Alpha's body. There were opened wounds on Ammon's forehead, neck, hands and legs. Other parts of his body contained a variety of reddened skin, which suggested he had been given a thorough beating, as Eric was observing at the moment. He could not bear watching the Alpha's injuries from afar, therefore, he got up and squatted beside the Alpha, and began examining his injuries. He held Ammon's arms up to watch closely."What hap

"Hey! What are you doing? Drop me on the ground!" I commanded but, the Alpha was adamant today. He cared less to listen to my little protest instead, he walked faster with his whole weight on his body. "Where on earth are you taking me?""I guess a place where you would like to be." He never stopped nor looked back. "Don't worry, Louis I'm not going to kill you. I'm taking you to a place that I think will bring you more comfort.""What are you talking about? Do you know what you are doing at all?" Some of the scars on his topless body were relatively fresh and had not healed completely, from what I had observed while being carried by his powerful arms. "Don't you think you are taking a big risk by having me up on your shoulders? I hope you know that some of your wounds are still fresh, and needed time to heal. And for that to happen quickly, one must stay away from strenuous activities such as the one you are indulging in currently.""Oh, gosh! Here we go again! Cut the crab, Louis. I

The spot I landed in the river was deep enough to swallow me whole. Bad luck on my side; I was a very poor swimmer. I'm not proud to say I don't know how to swim back then. It was after that tragic event did I learn to swim. Therefore, one can say that the good swimming skills which I possess today were learnt out of necessity.I tried to call for help each time the high current throws me to the surface. Just when I try to call Leah, water usually enters my mouth and I will end up struggling with how to contain the water. With each passing moment, I wasted trying to call Leah, the current of the river keeps pushing further into the deeper path. That went on for several minutes until I decided, enough was enough! I accepted my fate. I thought I was going to die because, all I could see then, was death, I was far from life. I'm very sure that by the time I was about to give up, I have already taken in lots of water into my body through my mouth and nose. I was closing my eyes to mother-
