Willow was past caring about where they were at the moment. She seemed to have forgotten that they were in the middle of a party and more than hundreds of alphas were there. If Harrison was going to go crazy, then they should do so together.Willow raised her chin higher, “You said you like my curves, that they are better than hers.” Willow's voice was loud, attracting a few frowns and glances. “Am I lying? Tell me you haven't told me before that my curves are better than hers?”Harrison's eyes turned red, and he lifted his hand to hit Willow, but someone bumped into her from behind, spilling his drink on her from shoulders downwards, and causing her to move forward and hit Harrison's chest.Willow gasped in shock as someone bumped into her from behind, and she felt something cold and wet wipe her neck exactly where her mating mark that had been covered with layers of makeup was. The person not only wiped that place with something but also spilled his drink on her. Willow stepped bac
Willow was thankful that no one else stooped her as she fled from the room. She found a quiet passage and a tall man standing in front. He was dressed in black clothes and looked like a security man, so she stopped to ask him for the bathroom’s direction.Willow stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom as she stared at her reflection. She still looked as beautiful as she was when she left the house, but her dress was ruined. Half of it was still off-white, while the rest was red. She was angry and at the same time she felt ashamed. Everyone now knows that she and Sophia were Harrison's mate. She would never be able to return to the party because she would be the center of attention.She wondered who sent that man and what they hoped to accomplish by exposing her as Harrison's mate. She did not know anyone here, so she was so sure that it was Harrison the person had been targeting, it just couldn't be her. Harrison must have offended someone who wanted revenge, and now she was cau
The mark was a hickey, a deep red one, and it looks like whoever left it there had too much fun playing with that part of her neck.Willow saw red as a picture of Marshall's head buried in Rumi's neck the way it had been in between her legs appeared in her head, and she felt like grabbing Rumi's head and bashing it against the wall until the wall turned bloody red.It was only a little more push she could take before she finally lost it and had someone killed, and that person might just be Rumi who has been pushing her buttons since they first met. Willow pushed herself away from where she was leaning against the toilet sink and marched over to Rumi. She grabbed her strongly by the elbow and began to drag her out of the bathroom.“What the fuck are you doing?” Rumi spluttered in rage as she struggled to be free from Willow's hold, but it only tightened, “Leave me the fuck alone!”“You better leave here, Rumi, because I swear to the moon goddess, I might just end up killing you and fl
“Oh honey,” Abigail's voice was sad, “I understand that you are hurt but if you have decided that you want to return home, I will help you.”“Thank you, Abigail. I don't know what I would have done without you,” Willow knew she owed Abigail big time. If not for this woman and Marshall, who took her away from Harrison on the day she attacked him, she might be in Harrison's pack's prison by now. Adele would never have spared her if anything had happened to Harrison, and Harrison wouldn't have spared her either if he had survived her attack. She was going to repay the woman back someday.“So what's the next step now?” Barbara asked as she bounced on the balls of her feet.Willow clasped her hands together in front of her, “I'm going to walk back in there and reject him in front of everyone. I'm the victim here, not him. I'm tired of hiding while he walks around freely with Sophia hanging on his arm. I should be the one with him, not her, but unfortunately, it can never be me. His dominan
Willow thought that Harrison was going to ignore her words about stepping down, but after his eyes returned to normal, he began to walk down to her with a deep scowl on his face. He looked like he was going to kill her, but when has he never looked like that?Willow's wolf was crawling at the back of her mind and she knew that her wolf might try to stop her from rejecting because of the pain they would feel, so she pushed her wolf back and shut her at the back of her mind. This was something they needed to do so that they could be free from all of these pain, shame, and disgrace.“You need to leave now, Willow, or you will face the consequences. I don't know what Abigail was hoping to achieve when you brought you here, but just know that she is using you. She hates my mother and would do anything to see her angry.” Harrison told her when he got to where she was. Willow had thought that he would try to force her to leave, but he was using a soft approach; trying to label Abigail as th
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
