Willow saw a few people bringing out the phones to record her but she didn't care. She would face things as they came. Her family might find out everything that's going on before she calls them to tell them by herself.“My family wanted to do a background check to find out everything about Harrison before he marked me and took me with him to his pack, but I decided to follow my heart. I was so blinded by love that I told them I wanted to find out everything about him by myself,” Willow continued her explanation, “My parents understood and respected my demands, so they didn't go ahead with making a background check. Imagine my shock when I got here and met Sophia, she was his chosen mate and had been for years. Everything about my relationship with Harrison changed when we got here. His mother, Adele, hated me and Harrison wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He locked me up in a house and because he had become my alpha after I left my old pack, I could not escape from his hold. He wo
Willow let herself go after Abigail hugged her, she buried her face in the woman's chest and wept bitterly. She remembered how she was there when Liam rejected Scarlett and how she consoled her friend, but no one was here for her and it was all her fault. If she had told them what happened from the beginning and did not try to reason with Harrison because of her selfishness, she wouldn't be in this situation.Willow wondered if she would have been able to do what she just did if Abigail was not here to support her.“Come on, your work is done. Let's leave,” Abigail helped her to her feet and supported her to step down from the raised platform and to walk out of the hall.Everyone's eyes were on her, and Willow kept her face down when she got to where Marshall was standing.Abigail paused to speak with him, “I need to take her home,”“I understand”. Willow could feel his eyes on her, but her head remained bent. She did not want to know what he was thinking. He already knew about the n
“What do you think, willow?” Scarlett's voice now held a coldness she had never used to address Willow before.“I don't know. Did you know about Harrison having another mate?” Willow asked again. At this moment, Scarlett's response was very important to her.“I know about it, Willow, but I only found out about it recently. You've been with him for more than two years, Willow. You had all the time in the world to tell me, so imagine my shock when I found out” Scarlett snapped in anger.“How did you find out?” Willow wanted to know. If Scarlett knew them, many people would already know including her family, right?“Willow, you completely changed after you left. Anytime we spoke on video calls, I always saw a cry for help in your eyes. You always smiled, but not as brightly as you did when you were here. I did not notice it in time but when I did, I began to always ask if you were and drilled you for answers, but you never gave them. I thought to myself that I must be reading too much in
Willow saw Abigail again when she woke up in the morning. She refused to step out of her room for fear that she would see Marshall. She did not know if he came back with Abigail but she did not want to find out. Her initial plan for going to that party last night was to rub it in Harrison's face that she was fine and doing well without him. Her second plan had been to steal the show and make Marshall notice her, but everything quickly changed with that man's appearance and she had to make the decision she should have made years ago. Willow did not regret that she abandoned her plan and went with something different. Instead, she felt that this should have been her plan all along. Why did she just think of jumping into getting a man that belonged to another woman when that's exactly what she'd been trying and failing to do for the past two years.Why has she let Abigail and Barbara convince her that she could succeed in snatching Marshall because he glanced in her direction and show
Scarlett was on her bed crying when Liam walked inside their room after telling Noah to prepare for their journey to Harrison's pack. She was supposed to be dressing up, but she was sitting in the bed in just her underwear and had tears streaming down her face.“Hey, why are you crying?” Liam called in a panicked tone as he rushed to where she was. This was not the first time he's walked inside their room to see her crying. It has happened more than nine times in the space of a month, and it was always one unreasonable thing or the other that's causing her to cry. He could not for the life of him understand what was going on with her. He would just try to know what was making her cry and console her. If not, she would turn the house upside down.Scarlett looked up, “Do you think I'm a bad person?” she asked Liam.“Eh?” Liam looked confused. He wondered what this was all about, “What kind of question is that?”“Just answer me.” Scarlett snapped with a hard glare, “Do you think I'm a b
After her outburst that left Liam shocked, speechless, and pushed to the floor, Scarlett turned and ran into the bathroom to shut herself. Liam who had been shoved violently to the ground recovered quickly and raced after her but it was already too late. She had locked the door from the inside.“Scarlett,” Liam called out as he knocked on that door, “Now is not the time to be emotional or to hide in the bathroom and cry for something we cannot change. We've made the mistake already. We abandoned one of our own and let her suffer because we decided to play by the rules. That's all gone now, all in the past. We have an opportunity here and that's to change and redo everything. Hiding in the bathroom is not going to help issues. The news is everywhere on the internet already, his king before her parents comes to you or people start talking?”After waiting for a while for a response from a Scarlett and getting none, Liam sighed before he turned to walk out of the room. When Scarlett was r
It was happening again. Willow was sitting on the edge of her bed and tapping her feet anxiously on the tiled floor as she stared at the door while biting her fingernails. She was supposed to be anxious about when Scarlett would get here so that she could finally be out of this place, but Willow knew that Scarlett's delay was not the reason for her anxiousness.Her wolf was prancing about in her head restlessly, and she was sweating at the back of her neck. She wanted to see Marshall one last time before she left, but Willow was not sure whether it would happen. Willow was alone in her room, Abigail had something to attend, and Barbara had work to do as Marshall's beta. She told them her goodbyes before they left because she was not so sure if she would be here by the time they returned.Willow had refused to turn on the television or pick up the newspaper the butler gave to her at breakfast. She knew that her face must be plastered everywhere because so many people took videos of
Scarlett spent the next few weeks hounding Willow about reporting Harrison and getting him punished but Willow was adamant. She believed that she had punished Harrison well enough by destroying his pride but Scarlett thought otherwise. Liam had put his hands on Harrison after they left him behind but Scarlett was not satisfied. She wanted to see Harrison go down more than the level he was.“Willow, Liam gave this to me!” Scarlett shrieked, happiness glinting in her eyes as Willow entered her office in the pack house and she stretched an envelope to her.With raised brows, Willow asked at the same time she reached out to receive the letter, “What's that?”Scarlett gave a careless shrug, “Someone is already doing what you refused to.”Now, Willow was curious. “What do you even mean by that?” She quickly tore the envelope open to bring out the letter.“You'll find out when you read it.”Willow was quiet as her eyes took in what was written on the paper. As she read through, her hand sque

There was no going back now. It's been six years since she agreed to drop all of her past behind and focus on her future which happened to be Marshall. Six fucking years since she let Scarlett convince her to follow her heart and be with Marshall and Marshall had never done anything to make her regret it.It was really funny how she was the one they convinced and pushed Scarlett to return back to Liam and years later, Scarlett did that same thing for her. She learned one lesson from this: it was wonderful to have good friends around that would push you to keep going when you wanted to give up. It was great to also be a good friend.Her life with Marshall has been filled with laughter, love, joy and different adventures. That night she had taken the bold step to first mark Marshall as hers was the first and not the last wonderful night she's had. The both of them had turned off their phones and spent the next three days just being together and getting to know more of each other. Ther
“You smelt and tracked me down? But I was with Harrison back then and second chances mates can never identify or smell each other while they are still with their first mate except after rejection or the other dies. If you really smelt me, why didn't I do the same?” A tiny frown creased Willow's brows as she thought back to the day Marshall first walked up to her in the garden. He had said that she was “Her”. She had thought he was referring to her being Harrison's mate, she thought wrong.This time, Willow let go of her fork, ignoring Marshall's disapproving look as she folded her hands across her chest.Marshall's eyes darted from her face to the fork, “You should eat.”“I need answers. I will eat when I've gotten them.” how did he know back then and she didn't?Marshall looked ready to argue but he thought better about it. “Fine. I'm not a regular werewolf like you and…”Willow interrupted him and asked the question that had been on her mind for the longest time, “What are you?” “
Willow squirmed in her seat and her hand shook as she carried food to her mouth. After the deep toe curling kiss Marshall gave her at the door after convincing her to stay with him in the beach house for the next three days, they moved to the patio at the back of the beach house where their dinner was waiting for them. According to Marshall, there was an older woman in the house who prepared the food and set out the table. She left the moment he notified her that they were close to give them their privacy.Since they sat down to eat, Marshall had not taken his eyes off her. Not even when he was eating or reaching for his glass of wine. At first, she thought he would take his eyes off her but after eating a little of his food and emptying his glass of wine, he did not move to pour out more for himself. Instead, he set the glass and his fork down and placed his full attention on her, causing her to be uncomfortable.When Willow couldn't take it anymore and felt like he was purposely doin
“We are here."By the time they got to their destination, Marshall had made her come twice. Her body was shaking in pleasure and her mind was lost in ecstasy, he had to repeat himself.“We are here,” his voice was firmer, dragging her out of the haze she was in.Willow stiffened and her eyes that were closed in pleasure snapped open and she brought down her head that had been titled back to look out of the window as she tried to hard her red cheeks. She was surprised at the fact that he was speaking so calmly after making her come twice in a roll. He did all this while driving them to wherever it was that he was taking her to dinner. The man deserved a round of applause. She could feel her wolf just below the surface, fighting to be let out but Willow shoved her back down. Her wolf was super excited, she might push Willow to jump Marshall inside the car and it would just be so shameful when her wolf retreats later and leaves her alone. It wouldn't be so bad, they were mates after al
Willow halted in her steps as she came out of the pack house and found Marshall leaning against the hood of his car right outside the building. He has his hands shoved inside his pants pocket and his eyes that have been staring at the floor immediately looked up at her as if he smelt her and knew that she was standing there — maybe he did.“Why did you stop?” Scarlett who was beside her whispered.Willow cleared her throat but did not take her eyes off Marshall to look at her friend who she knew must be wearing a teasing expression right now, “Nothing,” she began to move after that. Taking the stairs one after the order, all her attention focused on putting one leg in front of the order and now dropping to the ground in a puddle because of the way Marshall was staring at her as she walked up to him.“Enjoy yourself and don't come back. Make babies, I'm old enough to be an aunty.” Scarlett who has stopped walking with Willow raised her voice and said just before Willow heard her recedi
Willow grumbled under her breath as she dragged herself up from the bed and walked to the door to throw it open. After Scarlett left, she spent a few minutes or hours just staring at the ceiling with her kind roaming here and there, just thinking until she fell asleep. Now, she was woken up by loud knocks on her door. If she was not in the pack house, she would have known that it was one of the maids in the house, she just hoped that it was not about work. She risked a glance at the wall clock and saw that it was evening already. In an hour or two, it would be dark outside.Willow ran her hands through her hair to arrange it. She did it subconsciously and caught herself immediately. Why had she done that? It was just one of the workers knocking or even Scarlett so why would she try to arrange her appearance? No, she was not hoping that it was Marshall.“Oh, yes you are.” Her wolf taunted.“No, I'm not.” Willow snapped as she reached for the door knob.“I won't judge.” Her wolf snicker
Willow frowned, “Then what would you say?”“Well,” Scarlett gave a little shrug of her shoulder as she looked away, “He wanted to see you so he is here.”“And I would say you are lying, Scarlett.” Willow said as she shot Scarlett a hard glare.Scarlett looked at her then, “Does it really matter how he got here, Willow? What matters is that he is here and he is your second chance mate. Even if I was not expecting it, it's a bonus point. This is your opportunity, Willow. Your opportunity to find happiness. Let go of your past and embrace your future.”“He has a fucking chosen mate, Scarlett. Like Harrison, he already has a mate so there is no embracing of the future here.” Willow's voice shook at the end and she felt pressure at the back of her eyes.Scarlett frowned at her, “What mate are we talking about here?”“Don't act like you don't know the mate I'm talking about. Rumi!” Willow snapped, her heart twisting with pain.“So you were really serious when you said you were going to be s
Willow's heartbeat immediately picked up speed and began to beat wild and fast against her ribcage. Her heart was threatening to burst and spill out of her chest. Willow has only felt like this once in her life and that was the day she met Harrison and found out that he was her mate and the person she was destined to love and be with for the rest of her life. She was feeling like that again because of one person and it was this unknown alpha who was sitting with his back to her and talking to Liam.Willow had the urge to run up to him and curl up into his arms, sniff his scent and claim him as hers but she squeezed her hands into fists and held herself back. No way in hell was she going to be taking in a second chance mate, not after everything that happened between her and Harrison. She was going to move on with her life like she was already doing without looking back. Who knows if this alpha already have a mate too? Wolf forced her wolf down and warned her to behave.Willow knew th
