“The Alpha's brother, alpha Marshall, is coming over to visit” Willow, who had just stepped out of the house to go to the garden in the backyard to receive a fresh breeze, paused in her steps when she heard the maids gossiping. This was the third time she was overhearing the maids talking about Harrison's brother. According to them, he was coming over with his chosen Luna to visit. She did not know if Marshall was older than Harrison or if it was the other way around. She did not know whether they were cousins or biological brothers because she could not understand how they were both alphas unless one of them challenged another Alpha to a fight and won, and that would have to be Marshall. She knew this because Harrison took over the pack after his father.The maids kept quiet when she walked past them and moved in the direction of the garden, but they immediately resumed their gossip seconds later when they thought that she was no longer close enough to hear them. The only thing ke
“You will be having dinner with alpha Harrison and his family at the pack house. He asked us to get you ready"To say that Willow was shocked was an understatement but she knew it was Marshall. She could feel it in the depths of her heart. She was sure that Harrison would never voluntarily invite her to join him and his family for dinner, especially when he knew how his mother would react to seeing her. His mother hated the mere sight of her. Adele does not care nor does she want to know or hear Willow's side of the story. She loves Sophia and that was the person she wanted for her son. Willow did not want to wonder how the dinner would turn out to be tonight. Would his mother and Sophia be there or would it just be her, Harrison, and Marshall because the maid said she was going with Harrison and his family? She and Harrison had had dinner together a million times and Willow would give anything not to go back or even remember how all of those dinners turned out. It usually started
Willow's confident stride did not stay with her for long because she got to the door of the pack house where they would be having dinner too soon for her liking and she felt her confidence leave her. A maid was standing there and the door had been thrown open but she could not bring herself to lift her legs to step into the threshold. “Where did it suddenly disappear to? The confidence, I mean?” a taunting voice laughed behind her. Willow shut her eyes tight and took in a deep breath when she heard the taunting voice of the brunette with Marshall. She did not know that they were right behind her. She fisted her hand before raising her chin in the air, she forced her heavy limbs up and walked in.Another maid approached them to show them where they would be having dinner. Harrison, Adele, and Sophia were already waiting for them.Adele immediately jumped to her feet to stop Willow, “What the hell is she doing here?” she pointed her finger at Willow in accusation as she asked this que
She whirled around to face him. “What are you doing here?" She tried hard but her voice shook as she asked him this question. He had walked inside, turned the lock and closed the door shut behind him, leaving her with no escape route.She did not like the look in his eyes as he stood there, leaning against the door as watching her like a predator or no, a three course meal.After a few minutes of watching her, he murmured “Why did it have to be you?”“What?" She could not understand what he was saying and she knew that he was not asking the question for her to answer him.“Why did it have to be you and you don't even know it? Well, they said it ‘She wouldn't know until later'” he pushed himself away from the door and began to stalk towards her, his steps slow but sure.“What are you doing?" She would move back but then, there was no space behind her. The washing sink and mirror was behind her. Marshall cocked his head to the side as he came to stop in front of her. Just one more step
Willow remained like that, legs spread apart for a few minutes after Marshall left before her eyes became clear. She blinked before she jumped down from the sink as her body vibrated with shock waves. What in God's name just happened?She let Marshall, Harrison's brother, put his hand… .no, he didn't just put his hands, he also put his mouth on her and in places he was not supposed to and she never said a word in protest. He did all of this in a bathroom in Harrison's pack house and with Harrison not too far away from them.Willow turned to look at the mirror and she could not recognize the woman that stared back at her. This woman's hair was everywhere, her perfectly done makeup was now ruined and her eyes were hazy and unfocused but they had a look of satisfaction in them. She refused to stay there to dwell on what just happened. No, she wouldn't think about it now. This wasn't the right place. She should have gone back to the dining room but she couldn't. How would she walk back
Willow raised her chin in the air, “So what if I did? What are you going to do about it?" Harrison looked stunned but for only a moment because he raised his hand as if to hit her. He expected her to flinch or immediately plead with him but her reaction to his raised hand shocked him more than the fact that she raised her voice at him.Willow lifted her head a notch higher and turned her face to the side, presenting it to him, “Hit me, I dare you" Harrison's hand remained in the air for a few seconds. He looked confused, not knowing if he should go ahead to hit her or not. Her reaction today was a total of how she normally reacted to him. He thought he had broken her beyond repair; now, she was under him, but he was wrong to think so. But how dare she speak to him in such a manner? If he has been doing a bad job of breaking her then he has to become harsher. It has always been his joy to see her, a strong woman from a powerful family and a big pack bow under him. It was the same j
“Good girl," Marshall smiled as he walked over to Willow's wolf who was still whimpering on the floor but staring up at him with adorable eyes. He dropped to one knee and reached out to poke her cheeks with his elongated fingers and Marshall was unprepared for what happened next.Willow’s wolf rose to full height and jumped on him, knocking him to the ground. Her wolf’s tongue came out to lick all over his face as she happily wagged her tail. Her wolf’s excitement was so contagious, that Marshall who was on the floor could not control his laughter. As he laughed, he reached up to rub her soft silky fur.Harrison, who had soon recovered from the shock after Marshall was able to stop Willow from her madness, changed back to his human form, “What’s going on here?” his voice was cold as he watched Willow's wolf happily play with Marshall on the floor.He was surprised to see that Marshall was laughing carefreely and happily. When was the last time he saw his cousin laugh like that? All he
“Your mate?” Marshall asked this question as a humorless cackle fell from his mouth.“Y.. yes" Harrison flinched again when Marshall's cackled, the sound evil than the last. “You hit your mate?" Marshall asked him."I was only trying to discipline her and….” Harrison could not complete his statement because Marshall's hand shot out to wrap around his throat, locking his words and blocking the flow of air. His grip was so tight, Harrison soon found that he was unable to breath. He reached out to grab Marshall's hand as he struggled to free himself, all to no avail. His eyes quickly turned red and watery as Marshall slowly began to lift him up from the floor as if he weighed nothing. “Y.. you.. are… going… to … kill … me” Harrison managed to wheeze out with difficulty as he continued to slap Marshall's hand as his legs dangled above the ground. “Exactly what I want to do" Marshall smiled, flashing his fangs at Harrison. “I want to kill you, right now"“Y…you can't… do that"“Oh?” M
