Willa's POV
I could tell Al's fear when the scary Alpha suddenly appeared.
I was scared as well.
The scary Alpha left little room about what he would do to me if he gets to me, and just as lethal as my touch, I had no doubt he would tear off my arm if I fail to touch him with death in the first round.
I had little confidence that I could.
All of a sudden Al said: [Willa, aim at the reef triangle when you jump, and I'll be right after you!]
Cerberus changed his course as well. He was trying to make it to the edge so he could jump after me. No matter how powerful he was, that power was nothing compared to the pitch black roaring sea under my feet. I doubt being a wolf could prevent you from drowning.
[If I live, I live. You jumping after me has no other use besides risking your own life!] I backed a step, getting closer to the edge as the scary Alpha approached me cautiously.
Death's green ring intimidated him as well, though not
Willa's POV I was in total darkness. [You came here, too, huh? How do you like it now?!] A strange, annoying voice smirked viciously. I wanted to talk back but I couldn't feel my mouth. I couldn't feel anything. [Get me out of here. You are supposed to protect me!] That voice changed into a pitiful tone and begged. My heart ached in sorrow but I couldn't move, let alone help anyone. I kept my silence as she talked to me, or maybe, just mumbling to herself-- [I want my mate!] That voice demanded anxiously. The anger toward me was back in her voice. [I need my mate...] She sobbed. [Go get my king and get him to come and save me!] She ordered in a condescending tone. [Or maybe, you can come to me and take my place!] She laughed in a frantic way and that suddenly put fear in me. [Come to me, Willa...] She mumbled, and she was getting closer to me. Out of nowhere, I felt danger and fear as I tried to struggle, but I
Willa's POV[Kirsch!] It took me some time to persuade granny that I no longer needed a night guard, and I mind linked Kirsch right after I was alone.He didn't put it through.[Kirsch, stop avoiding me! Where is Al?!] I demanded, trying to get off the bed. My limbs felt like they were made of dough, but at least I could walk now.He refused again.[Fine! Don't talk to me. I'm coming to your office, and if you are not there, the beach would be my next stop. I won't rest until I find him with or without your help!] I grabbed my cloak, heading to the balcony. I decided that going through the window was a better chance to sneak out without granny noticing when she slept right in the next room now.[Willa...] Kirsch's reluctant voice came through, [Scarlett won't let you.][Try me!] I challenged as I flipped over the balcony, trying to find a way down. My body wasn't ready for too intense activities yet.[Willa!] Kirsch gasped as h
Taran's POVI had made my decision.If I had to leave Willa, then the sooner the better. Keeping the relationship on would only worsen the goodbye that was destined to happen.I knew it would hurt her for now, but I also knew how powerful the mate pull was. She wouldn't be able to resist the mate pull toward Kirsch in a month, and that would overcome whatever she's feeling toward me now.I had to leave.I had been lingering around the pack for the past few days, waiting for Willa to wake up. I knew where to find Willa because I left a bug in her hoody. High tech helped, especially when werewolves wouldn't be looking for them actively, especially Willa who didn't know much about the.I wanted to go and talk to Kirsch, but the burning in my heart every time I thought about giving up Willa and admitting that she was his mate kept me from doing so.I didn't know where I could go.I couldn't even go to the beach anymore because they
Taran's POV[Taran! Put the fucking mindlink through! This is serious!] Kirsch shouted through the mind link. He was minutes away from us.I rejected his request.[For the love of goddess!] Kirsch tried again, [What's got into you?! Where are you?!]He could have known my location -- when I was the only rogue entering the pack's territory. He couldn't tell me apart from Stone Hayes and his men when I was so close to them.Of course I stayed close. I wouldn't have let Willa be in danger. But Kirsch needed a push otherwise he would never get close to Willa.I touched the mate mark on my neck. The cuts over it were still open -- I couldn't heal without Cerberus. At least it stopped bleeding from the clawing Cerberus did several days ago. The human way of healing was too slow, I couldn't imagine how Willa had been enduring this for her whole life.I was really like Willa's case now -- wolfless without being able to heal. That was when it
Willa's POV The scary Alpha knelt on my broken arms as he pinned down my other arm with one hand. I could barely move let alone do anything, not to mention there were two other wolves surrounding us with mad red eyes. [Kirsch!] I shouted as the scared Alpha unbelted his pants. I couldn't believe that was what he was after. Who the HELL spread such a rumor about granny's magic?! To mark an underage teenager to get magic?! Shouldn't that be against the law or something?! [I'm almost there! One minute!] Kirsch answered me as the trees passed behind him. I could tell he was running as fast as he could, but from the look, he was nowhere near us. [You said one minute a minute ago!] I grunted as I tried to move, but the scary Alpha had already taken out his dick as he stroked it in front of my face. Gross! "For the love of goddess!" I shouted as I darted my eyes off him, "I don't have magic, you pedophile!!! Get off me!" "Can't wait t
Kirsch's POV There WAS a rogue who left the herd first. I could feel the rogue running away, but I didn't know who that was. No wonder that rogue stayed inside the pack if that was Natasha. She had family in the pack that would take her in. "She ought to know what's coming to her if she stays." I frowned, couldn't help but remembered that it was Natasha who put Willa in a coma for a whole week. How dare she return to the pack again?! "Haven't you been listening to me?!" Willa grunted impatiently, "She's Taran's mate! You can't hurt her!" "She's NOT his mate. I told you, I asked her with Alpha Aura--" "Cerberus didn't know back then!" Willa sighed with a grunt in frustration. I finally understood why Taran said I might have to "persuade Willa to stay". Of course she wanted to leave the pack when Taran told her Natasha was his real mate. How did he think this would play out?! "You don't know that until you turned 18 yourself, Wil
Kirsch's POV"Willa, are you okay?" I asked, watching Willa poking her pizza for about five minutes now already."Yes, I'm okay," Willa answered, still poking that piece of pastry.Like she did five minutes ago.Scarlett moved back to the house I granted them after the doctor assured her Willa had shown no sign of any sequela. I changed our menu to ordering out so Willa wouldn't have to suffer my cooking while missing Taran.I could tell she was heartbroken, but she wouldn't confide that, not to me at least."Little kitten, I'm pretty sure that pizza is dead now. But I can taste it for you if you are worried." I let Rudy come out and the stupid wolf started with a cold joke.Willa chuckled.Well, at least Rudy still had his magic."How's Natasha doing?" Willa put down her fork. That meant she was done with her meal...again. She hadn't been eating much, for days now. I had no idea how she was surviving with so little food
Willa's POVI had been painting Soulstorm for the past few days.Kirsch offered -- well, insisted that I stay in the pack even after Natasha came back. I knew he offered that out of kindness, but the actual reason was -- I didn't want to watch her being together with Taran.I couldn't.It hurt enough to just mention her name. I would die if I had to be around them just to see Taran smile at her, hug her and spoil her...Like how he was with me.Leaving was the only way I could get on with my life. But I couldn't do that just yet because Taran hadn't come back. I didn't know how he was doing, and I didn't dare ask. But with Cerberus mad at me, I doubted if there was too much I could do anyways.All I could do was make some Soulstorms before I leave.There was no hope to keep a peaceful mood to design any new patterns, and I had just been painting the same pattern over and over again, trying to not think about Taran, or actually,
