Willa's POV
"Where are you taking us?" I took a step back to block the spell on the floor from Natasha.
"No question, just come," Natasha said coldly, not looking at me.
"I have the right to at least know that you are going to kill us! Why do you hate me so much to not even grant me my basic rights?!" I shouted at Natasha. I hated her, sure. But I didn't think I had irritated her enough to deserve death.
"You, are, cursed! You would bring doom to the pack! Isn't that a good enough reason to wipe you from the face of the earth?!" Natasha stormed into the cell toward me. Granny stood up to meet her halfway, and I quickly stood in front of granny.
Granny was in no shape to fight Natasha right now.
"I'm not cursed! I was poisoned--"
"Willa took wolfsbane by mistake last night. That was what you saw." Granny cut me off. We couldn't let them know we lied to them, not now.
"Another far-fetched lie!" Natasha snorted coldly, "Of
Gonna reveal why granny's blood can teleport them later!~ But feel free to leave your guessessssss :)
Kirsch's POV When I opened my eyes, it took me a while to realize I was back in the Alpha's house. I hadn't been living here for a while. I was in Taran's room. Guess it was some pack member who took me back. They didn't even know I never slept in the master bedroom. It would always be Taran's. But it meant he wasn't back yet. I tried to move my body but everything hurt. I could barely look down at my own body, but I could feel it was wrapped in bandages. I let out a slight groan in pain as I closed my eyes and laid down again. It would still take days before I could fully recover, and that was actually a better result than I had expected. I really thought Crebreus would kill me. I could barely stand up in the end as I tried to stop him from dashing into the pack. I managed to force him to go through the woods as I mindlinked patrol and cleared a path so we wouldn't run into anyone. He was in a complete rage and
Kirsch's POV It took me a few seconds to understand Taran's words. It wasn't like Willa was not in the house. As far as Taran knew, Willa was nowhere to be found?! Maybe she went to the beach? "Don't tell me it's Nat again!" I rubbed my head in frustration. "It's not. I asked Nat. She was here when I came back." Taran shook his head, "Nat didn't know where Willa is, and Willa wouldn't accept her mind link." "What the hell did Nat do this time?!" I grunted. Willa didn't like Nat, but she wouldn't just deny her mind link if it wasn't because Nat did something to upset her again. [Willa?] I tried to mind link Willa, but no response. [Willa?] I tried again, still, Willa refused to put the mind link through. At least that meant she wasn't in danger. "She won't accept. I don't want to use the Alpha Aura on her." I sighed. I couldn't imagine what would have upset Willa so much that she wouldn't even talk to us. "Try he
Kirsch's POV Taran's voice was freezing cold. Even though he couldn't use Alpha Aura anymore, I could see Nat went jittering as her lips shook in terror. "Taran! You are scaring me..." Nat stammered as tears burst out of her eyes. "Don't make me ask again." Taran closed his eyes as he said slowly, apparently not intending to let Nat free before he got his answer, and Nat was broken in no time. "She disappeared from the cell! I really don't know where she is! I DID want to kill her, and she asked us to give her a moment, but then she was gone! She escaped!" Nat cried as she grabbed Taran's forearm with both her hands in fear. Taran let her off. I sighed, asking Nat: "Why did you go after her again?! You disobeyed us deliberately--" "This is not personal! I captured her because she turned into a rabid wolf on the new moon night and she attacked you! She was the 'wolfless girl'!" Nat shouted at me with her face red in tears.
Willa's POV Three days passed since we teleported out of the cell. I didn't know where we were. I barely had the energy to eat, let alone care about our location. The sting in my chest never faded, and this time it hurt more. I guess it was just what people called "heartbreak". I felt that when I thought Al wasn't mine, and I definitely was having a worse one now, when I KNEW, Al belonged to Natasha. I agreed to join the new pack. Granny's teleport mark took us to a small cove. It took her ten days to run here last time. Far away from Al. We had been camping by the sea for the past three days. Granny never asked why I was feeling low. She knew me well enough to not ask. She didn't even ask about Taran when it was supposed to be a new name to her. She gave me all the time and space I needed to lick my wounds. She was right. I should have stayed away from Taran since the beginning. Antonia hadn't woken up yet. We
Kirsch's POV [Willa! Are you alright? Where are you?!] I almost burst into shouting, in the happiness of hearing her voice. She was sitting on a rock by the sea, with only the dark waves in front of her. Of course she was by the sea. [I'm fine, thanks. Glad you woke up.] She was smiling, but there was a shade of aloofness in Willa's tone. I guess she had always been cold to me. [Little one, where are you right now?] Taran asked with a smile, gentle as ever. I watched in shock as Willa bit her lips and dodged Taran's eyes. She had never been cold to Taran! When he was around, it was like her eyes could only fit him and nothing more. Willa must be really hurt this time for her to keep Taran at distance. [I'm really sorry for what happened. I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you--] Taran started with a more cautious tone. He noticed Willa's abnormal attitude toward him as well. [It's okay. It's not your responsibility to
Kirsch's POV The second Willa broke the mind link, Taran turned around and put his fist through the wall. "Taran--" I started, but it only got Taran to hit the wall again, and again and again and again. Each time with more force. Nat flinched in horror at Taran's sudden outburst. She had never seen Taran lose control like this. I, had never seen Taran lose control like this, not when it wasn't from Cerberus. Blood splashed on the wall since the fifth hit, but Taran wasn't stopping. He pushed against the wall with one hand and was hitting the wall even harder. "Taran, I know it hurts, I understand. But Willa is still in the pack bond, I can try to talk her--" "No!" Taran growled as he wheeled on me. But at least he stopped hitting the wall. "Alpha, I know you are hurt--" I said cautiously. Though Cerberus was not awake, I didn't want to irritate him more. I had never realized so clearly before -- without Cerberus, Taran was an A
Granny's POV I lied to Willa. She wasn't poisoned, she was cursed. I had been feeding her wolfsbane ever since I took her home. Wolfsbane couldn't hurt her. The lethal poison to werewolves became Willa's best weapon. She needed protection. Wolfsbane only worked on her wolf, and her wolf could only appear on the new moon night. Until she turns 18, that was. That was the only way I could contain her wolf, and that only needed to last till her 18th birthday. She would be free once the curse is broken. I would break the curse for her. The story of the cursed wolfless was well known in our world, but little knew the true story. Once upon a time, there was yet any werewolf walking on the surface of the earth. The moon goddess was lonely, for she was the only goddess who possessed two forms -- a human form as the eternal virgin called Luna; and a wolf form, known as Nox. She created our kind, and gave us her ab
Granny's POV I didn't know what happened exactly, but I knew Willa was heartbroken. Willa sat by the sea, mindliking Alpha Kirsch. I knew she would talk to him one last time. Though I didn't think it was possible, I knew she fell in love with the Alpha. I had the "no relationship" rule because Willa was the soul piece of the moon goddess, she wasn't assigned a mate. The moon goddess pairs mates by linking their souls together. She couldn't link her own soul with a mortal. But while Willa couldn't feel the mate pull from anyone, others could feel the pull toward her -- Being the moon goddess, she would automatically attract the Alpha of the pack she is in when she turned 18. That was how I got my mate. All I needed to do was to find her a pack with an Alpha worthy for her. Even if he has a mate already, he wouldn't be able to resist the pull toward his moon goddess. He would love Willa with all his heart. "Granny..." Wil
