Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Six* +25 BONUS One after another, I seemed to be discovering my greatest fears. I wasn't as fearless as I had believed. When I thought I would die in the woods, I had been afraid. And now, as I stood before the love of my life, watching the naked women crowd around him, I realized this was another of my fears.

"I want to speak to you, alone." "Well I don't, and you cannot make demands here." What did that even mean? "Alexander, I don't know what the hell is going on with you, but we need to talk." "Then talk." The women, sensing the tension, drew back.
