Willow's POV...
"Jesse!" My scream woke me again but this time I wasn't alone.
"Who's Jesse?" Luke's voice sounded hurt as he sat at the end of my bed. I sat up sweat dripping down my face. I rubbed my eyes and then looked right into his.
"He was a boyfriend I had back when I was in school. Something horrible happened to him." Was all I offered. I felt the tears sting my eyes as I tried to fight them back. I knew that he was dead but I just didn't know if I had killed him.
"Do you remember what happened to him?" Damn I was hoping he wouldn't question it.
"I heard he was attacked by an animal but it was after I left." The sting in my heart when I lied to Luke was almost unbearable. I wanted to tell him everything I remembered, everything I was dreaming but I couldn't. Not yet at least. Even though I was trusting him and his family more and more I still didn't know wh
An hour later the lunches were all made and the children were starting to arrive. The church just happened to serve as the local daycare as well. They had about ten kids in the morning and then about another ten or so that came after school. There was one other woman that helped with the daycare. Her name was Sierra and she was in her mid thirties.Sierra was just as kind as Grace was. When she first met me she immediately embraced me in a big hug. "Oh you poor thing. I'm so glad that Grace found you." I wasn't use to the kindness of these people. I was defensive at first but after a few hours I was getting use to it.At about three the pastor arrived. He was a man in his forties. He was just as kind as Grace and Sierra. "Why hello. Who do we have here Grace?""Oh hello pastor Wilson. This is Addison. She is our new helper." Pastor Wilson reached out his hand to shake mine."Hello Addison."&n
Luke's POV...I have been on my own for three months now. I had followed Willow's scent as far as I could but then she made sure that I lost it. She was a smart girl for sure and it kind of made me laugh a little bit when I realized what she had done. Now though I was just searching every town I came across. I had just crossed over the Canadian border when her scent filled my nose."Willow." I reached out hoping she would answer me but I got nothing. I followed her scent to a small town a few miles from the border. It seemed like a quiet little place to hide out at. It was just before dawn so I decided to wait for a few hours and then head into the town. I didn't have to wait that long to see her though.As I started to settle in under one of the trees her scent filled my nose again and strong. I heard something coming twords me and before I could move she ran right into me. We both tumbled down a small hil
Demetris POV...I sat in silence watching my family, if that's what you want to call us, devour our latest kill. Cleo was licking her fingers as she slowly approached me. "Come play with us Demetris. I know you are thirsty." When she reached me she stuck one of her blood covered fingers in my mouth allowing me to suck it clean. She smiled sadistically at me as the blood still ran down her lips."Mmm but my dear you have taken the fun out of the hunt. You have killed them all." I pointed behind her at the carnage left in the small alley. She smirked innocently at me and I had to admit her dark red eyes held my attention for a moment. I pushed a piece of her raven hair behind her ear as the night air whisked through the alley bringing forth a scent of fear. I looked up from Cleo's eyes and saw the young woman at the end of the alley."Ahhh see new prey for you my sweet." Cleo dashed down the alley with
Willow's POV...I thrashed against the chains holding me to the wall. "Let me go you stupid fuckers." I heard a familiar laugh and as he appeared I started to lose my control. His hair was in that perfect way he had it the last time I saw him. His eyes just as dark and his frame was maybe even a little bit bigger than I remembered."Now now sweetness is that anyway to act twords an old friend." He purred at me. He walked up to me and put his nose in my hair. Making me want to vomit at just the thought of him being so close to me."You're no friend of mine Hathaway, you psycho stalker. You did it didn't you?""Did what beautiful?""You killed Jesse." He let out a loud laugh and I felt myself losing it more and more. He had no remorse at all but then again he was pure evil."Come on angel come out and play with us. Show us all your true form." Tru
Demetris POV..."Why the fuck would you bring her here Demetris?" Cleo hissed."Because it is my choice. I am the one who makes the choices for us. If you don't like it there is the door." I hissed right back at her. Apparently she has forgotten who is in charge. She didn't back down though and I have to admit it is hot when she is angry."We don't need werewolves coming after us." She stood right in my face as she hissed this. The words almost like venom as they shot from her lips. I smiled at her and started to laugh. "What is so funny?" She asked."You my dear. You don't give a fuck about the werewolves coming. You are just jealous. You still don't seem to understand that I may have created you but that doesn't mean we are bonded like that. I will have whoever I want and you will respect my decision or you can leave." I was now towering over her full of anger. She cower
Willow's POV...When I came to this time I was no longer chained and I was laying on a very soft and comfortable bed. I was wearing a silk nightgown and was alone. I sat up and looked around for an escape but there was no windows. Think Willow how can you get out of this?I heard someone unlocking the door and I stood ready to attack if I needed to. I waited and as the door opened I leaped at whoever it was shifting in mid air. I knocked the dark haired woman Cleo down as I jumped off of her and ran out the door. I was still in the same cabin and as I made it to the front door someone slammed into me.I stood and looked at him. It was Jonas and he just kept smiling at me. "Why are you trying to run away princess? You do know that you are a monster right?" I just stared at him as he stood between me and the door. I could take him down but I also knew there were more vampires around.
Demetris POV..."Did you get the things I told you to get?" I looked at Jaden who was putting some bags on the table."Yeah. So when are we leaving?""At dark. Does Jonas know where to meet us?" Jaden nodded. My phone dinged and I looked at it. I smiled Jonas had sent me my insurance policy just in case my little savage didn't want to go with us. I walked back to her room and she was sleeping. Unlike us she still held human traits like sleeping and eating food."Willow my dear I need you to get up." Her eyes fluttered open and she stared at me like she was trying to process where she was. She sat straight up and backed away."What is it?" She asked looking at me with those beautiful eyes of hers."I need you to get dressed and pack your belongings. We have to leave tonight." She looked confused."Why do we have to leave?"
Luke's POVHaving her so close to me now was just proving more and more that we are meant to be with each other. That damn vampire might think he wants her but he will never get close to her again. There was a soft knock at the bedroom door and I reluctantly pulled myself away from her. I walked over to the door and opened it. Sonya was standing there with a worried look on her face."Kane needs to talk to you." I nodded and closed the door behind me softly. I followed her down the hall and into his office."Luke we may have a problem." Kane said immediately. I looked at him and just knew what he was going to say. "Jordan and Reagan didn't make it to
Demetris POV..."Where have you been Jonas?" He looked up at me as he walked into the hotel room."I had something to talk to the Order about. Don't worry about it." His tone was a little aggressive but Jonas has always been that way. I let it go but it made me question what he was hiding from me."Are you ready to go home?" I questioned. He simply nodded at me as he walked over and grabbed his bag. Dante had been by early and notified me that we were to go back to the states and keep eyes on Willow and the others."Did Dante say how long until we make a move?" I shook my head."He just said that we would be notified." It was just the way The Order worked. We probably won't know they are coming until they show up. Unless we call them with a problem. Jonas just shrugged and then we headed out.I hated the wait but in the end it would be worth it. I
Willow's POV..I woke up to being smothered by Luke's arms. He has been super attentive since Samuel showed up. Everyone seems to agree that we need to go with him to his pack. I, on the other hand, am still a little bit guarded. Maybe I am just being stubborn but the man just shows up out of nowhere saying he is my father. Then tells us that we are all in danger and expects us to just fall in line and go with him.I was finally able to wiggle my way from under Luke and made my way to the kitchen. It was still super early and no one was awake yet. I started the coffee and then grabbed a cup. Once I made my cup I went and sat out on the porch. The cool air felt amazing as it hit my hot skin. That was something I was still getting use to. Never getting cold is nice but sometimes I miss just wrapping up in a blanket and sitting out on the porch.I guess I was lost in thought because I didn't even notice Samuel come out. He
Demetris POV....I looked down at the city from the hotel room we were staying in. We had only been here for a few hours and I was already having second thoughts about doing this. Jonas had assured me that this was the only option and that The Order wouldn't hurt Willow once I explained to them what she was.The people moved below me swiftly as the night air started to turn. A storm was coming and quickly. It was perfect for a good hunt but it was against the rules to hunt here. If I wanted to have a good meal then I would have to travel to the next town over.As vampires we didn't have many rules but when you were in the land that belongs to The Orde
Demetris POV...The anger flowed through me as I watched her mate herself with the wolf. She should be mine. I was so close to making her realize she was a beautiful monster like me. "Demetris we should go. If they find us out here we are no match for all of them. We need to meet with Jayden and maybe recruit some help if you want to take on the pack." Jonas's hand touched my shoulder and I slowly turned away from the sight."Recruit who Jonas? I haven't found many of our kind that will go against wolves." A smile spread across his face. There are a few and you do know where they are. I slowly realized who he was talking about and quickly shot it down."No. They would kill them all including Willow. I don't want her dead I want her for myself.""She has chosen her path Demetris. Even if you kill her mate she will never be yours now. Especially since you killed her mother." I lashe
