Shit!“You finally remember?” Marshall grinned at her, "I thought you said you were asleep?" “So what if I was moaning? It did not mean that you have to touch me or something" she refused to be embarrassed.“You were not just moaning. You were moaning my name, so you see…?”Willow's face flamed red. She was moaning his name when he came in? Oh God, she wished she could disappear and never return. How must she have looked writhing on the bed and moaning his name? Oh moon goddess, she has never been so embarrassed in her entire life. Marshall leaned over to stroke the side of her face with the back of his fingers, “No need to be embarrassed, sweetheart. It's okay to want me. I want you too”Willow felt some of her embarrassment melt away with his words about wanting her in return but at the same time, she felt her body reacting again to his words. At least she was not the only one who wanted him and even if he doesn't say it out loud, his hard-on has yet to go limp and was still pokin
His willingness to leave her made disappointment settle inside her. She had expected him to ignore her warnings and keep going but he stopped immediately she asked him to.‘Stop it, Willow’ that sane voice chided her.She was the one who wanted him to stop so why was she the one still feeling disappointed? It was because she was used to him always forcing his pleasure on her no matter how she protested —- all weak and fake ass protests —- she was shocked he was finally behaving properly. If he hadn't stopped, she would have turned it into a fight and maybe tried to hate him but now that he had stopped, respecting her feelings, Willow did not know what to think or how to react. He even pulled her panties and shorts to cover her wet entrance and now, he was bringing his fingers to his mouth —- fingers that had been buried deep inside her a few minutes ago and dragging her to the heights of pleasure. She washed in fascination as his fingers disappeared into his full luscious kissable l
Willow winced and reached out a hand in search of pillows so that she could block out the sunlight that was shining directly on her face. She could remember pulling the drapes closed just before she went to bed but then, Marshall had entered her room last night even when she locked the door, who was to say that he did not also pull the drapes apart? She placed the soft pillow over her face and with a grunt, Willow prepared to fall back into her morning dreams but she heard a voice that caused her head to snap up. “Wake up, sleeping beauty"Willow stared wide-eyed at the strange woman that was standing over her bed with hands clasped in front of her and with a wide smile that was as blinding as the morning sun. “Who are you?" As she asked this, she glanced at the door quickly, trying to remember if she locked the door after Marshall left but she couldn't remember doing so. She had a hard time going to bed after Marshall left and she was still feeling so sleepy right now. She wished
“I knew you would come," Barbara told Abigail with a smile.“Morning, Aunty Abigail" Willow greeted. Abigail had asked her to address her the same way Marshall and so many others did. “Oh please, I cannot miss out on whatever it is that you both are going to be talking about and why am I hearing Rumi's name this morning? I think we should…” Abigail's words trailed off and she halted in her footsteps. She raised her nose in the air with her eyes closed as she sniffed deeply, once, then twice before her head came back down and she smiled widely at Willow like she had just discovered the world's biggest secret. “Marshall was here, wasn't he?"Oh hell! Willow should have known that they could catch his scent that was still lingering in the air. She would have used an air freshener had it been she knew that she would be having morning visitors. Now, she had been caught and she was just sure that she would be drilled by the women. Abigail was already walking fast to her bed and her eyes he
Willow's face immediately became closed up, and she locked her heart against them. It was time to follow her head and not her heart. She had to start reasoning well before she allowed others to ruin her already ruined life completely.She had finally broken out from under Harrison and had escaped from his clutches. She needed to pick up the broken piece of her life and move on. She has a family that she knew would welcome her back with open arms, but could she really return home to them the way she was right now? Willow had Scarlett's phone number offhand, all she had to do was place a call to her best friend and a jet would come to take her home, but was that what she really wanted? Now, she could understand why Scarlett refused to go back to Liam's pack with him no matter what. The shame of returning to the former place of your glory as nothing was not something anyone would want.Willow had left her pack to be with an alpha, a few of her peers had been jealous of her, how shameful
“No, you are not. Not for much longer.” Willow's brows furrowed in a deep frown as she looked from Abigail to Barbara, “What do you mean by that?” This was the second time she was hearing someone say that he was no longer Harrison's mate. First it was Marshall last night, and today it was Abigail and Barbara.How did that happen and she did not know? She had not marked Harrison, so he was free to do his shit, and she would be the only one hurting because she was wearing his mark. His mark was still fresh on her neck because he always made sure to sink his fangs into them to make them fresher anytime he was just about to come.Willow lifted her hand to touch her neck, hoping that maybe the mark had miraculously disappeared — the way Harrison's hold and dominance over her did — that was why they were all saying that she was no longer Harrison's mate. But no, the mark was still there and Willow winced when her fingers grazed it; it stung, which was nothing new to her. Mate's mark would
Abigail scratched the insides of Willow's palm as she asked her, “Do you want to come with me or do you want to return to your family?"“I want to go back home. I really miss my family, I haven't seen them in two years but I can’t go back now. Willow answered truthfully.Abigail nodded like she understood her reason for not wanting to go back to her family the way she was and maybe she did, “Your family and your best friend can help you in destroying Harrison, you know that right?”Willow nodded, "I know that but that's not what I want. I want to destroy him with my own hands” Willow's eyes turned red with hate as she imagined wrapping her arms around Harrison and choking him to death. Oh, what sort of happiness she would feel from watching his eyes as he choked. He would be angry at first, try to command her to let him go since he was her mate and Alpha, would become shocked when she continued to choke him and soon, he wouldn't be able to breathe and would begin to struggle and scra
Abigail and Barbara were waiting to have breakfast with Willow when she stepped out of her room. Their breakfast was filled with loud laughter and the three women conversed like they long long-time friends despite the difference in their ages; Abigail was still very much young at heart. There was not even a moment of awkwardness and once they were done and had taken a little rest to digest their food, the three women bundled themselves into Abigail's car and the driver drove out of the compound to where they would be doing the first thing on their schedule for the day; a makeover.Willow, who's not been out of the house Harrison kept her locked in, was happy to be out. She kept staring out of the window and at everyone and every place their car fled past. If Barbara and Abigail noticed, they said nothing. They did not want her to feel bad.They first went to where they had a full-body massage and waxing, then to where they made their hair. They were just about to go to the boutique wh

Looking forward to seeing you read my next books.I hope you loved Scarlett and Liam's story and also, Willow and Marshall's story. Thanks for coming this far with me.Thank you so much.
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
