Willow’s POV Beta Shawn’s words broke something within me and I felt pain deep within my soul. The realization hit me hard that he was only being nice to me because he felt sorry for me. I truly believed that there was a strong connection between the two of us, but it was a mistake that I will never make again. All the nice things he had done for me wasn’t because he had feelings for me, it was because he felt sorry for me, and I was just some charity case to him. My thoughts then went to the night that I pushed him into his room and the moment we had shared together. No wonder he had stopped before anything happened between the two of us and when he told me that he wished the Moon Goddess would have given me to him as a mate too, was all just to make me feel better. As I lay on my bed, I pull a pillow close to me as I let the tears fall from my eyes and I wonder if Alpha Chance feels the same way about me as Beta Shawn does. Was that why when I awoke, I was in my own room instead
Shawn’s POV My wolf ran as hard as he could through the forest as I tried to get the image of Willow’s hurt face out of my head. What I had said to Alpha Chance was never to have been heard by her ears. I was trying to say something that would stop him from making me confess that I had strong feelings for Willow. She was his mate and I never would want to take away from his happiness with her. Plus, I was still not ready to let myself believe that Jess was gone. I felt the bond between Jess and I sever, but I didn’t want to believe that she was gone forever. Every now and then it's as if I can still feel her calling to me and I fear if I let myself feel for Willow that small piece of her will disappear. There was something about Willow that reminded me of Jess and I honestly was starting to believe that it was my mind playing tricks on me. Sometimes when she looks at me I can see Jess inside of her eyes. Even her scent calls to me as it also reminds me of the floral scent Jess used
Willow’s POV I knew that eventually I would have to see Beta Shawn, but I never thought it would be this soon and hurt this bad. The shock of seeing him had caused me to lose complete concentration allowing Alpha Chance to tag me. Alpha Chance saw the look on my face change and he turned to see what I was staring at. Beta Shawn’s eyes moved from me to Alpha Chance and I took that moment to make a run for it. I wasn’t ready to face him yet because my heart still ached from his words last night. Entering the woods, I quickly stripped off my clothes and shifted into my wolf to run off the pain like I used to do back home. It’s funny how you run from one emotional pain just to find another. As my wolf took off, I let her take complete control as I sat in the passenger seat trying to free myself from the pain. The further she got me from Beta Shawn, the less it would hurt or at least I told myself that. But as we rounded the bend to the waterfall with the pool, I could hear the sound of
Willow’s POV Initially, I began to head back towards the packhouse but after a few minutes of my mind getting lost in what just happened, I knew I couldn’t head back and face Alpha Chance. I needed to run and free myself of the pain that now tortured my thoughts. I had given myself to Beta Shawn willingly, knowing that I couldn’t fully have him as mine and I wondered what that meant for us and if my heart could handle this. I also wondered what Alpha Chance would think of all of this and if he would approve of Beta Shawn only being with me too, but not actually mating with me. I knew the two of them were talking about this in his office and he approved of Beta Shawn being my second mate but I wondered if he knew that Beta Shawn didn’t want to actually mate with me, but just have a relationship. Worry then consumed me what the pack members would think of their Luna being mated to their Alpha but also being with their Beta unmated to him. But the need that was in me to be with Beta
Willow’s POV As Alpha Chance placed kisses with his lips on my mating spot, Beta Shawn walked towards me not losing eye contact with me. His pupils were dilated and I could see that need in his eyes to touch me. Alpha Chance’s arms pulled me back against him and I could feel the hardness of his cock pressed against my back. His hands now roamed up my body cupping my breasts and sending heat to my core. Closing my eyes, I let myself lavish in the feel of his touch but then my eyes flew open when I felt two sets of hands on me. Beta Shawn now stood only inches in front of me and his hands were on my lower half pulling my pants down. He looked into my eyes before he bent a knee in front of me. From behind me, Alpha Chance gently pulled my legs apart and I wondered what he was doing but in a matter of seconds I felt Beta Shawn’s mouth between my legs, as he took a lick from my front to my back. A moan slipped from my lips as the sensation of both of my mates touching me at once sent
Willow’s POV Awakening the next morning, I thought my body would be sore from last night’s activities with both my mates, but to my surprise my body felt rejuvenated. The smell of what we did still lingered in the air and as I opened my eyes, I realized that both my mates were gone but lying on the pillow next to me, where Alpha Chance’s head once laid on was a note. Sitting up I reached for the note, and began to read it, Luna, I thought it would be best to let you sleep, so that your body can heal from last night. Laying on the dresser is an outfit that I had brought up for you to change into when you get yourself ready for the day. I would like to take you out for the day and spend some much needed one on one time with my mate. I will be in my office waiting for you when you are ready. Love, Alpha Chance Pulling the note to my chest as I felt warmth spread to my heart. Love isn’t a word that I have heard in a very long time and to see it from Alpha Chance made me feel war
Willow’s POV As if the rogue Alpha could sense that we were looking at him he turned and stared in our direction, but his eyes weren’t on Alpha Chance but on me. Being in a human public place we had to watch not to expose ourselves. Alpha Chance let out a low growl as he noticed that the rogue Alpha was staring at me and placed a possessive arm around me. The rogue Alpha and three of his men began to walk our way and Alpha Chance whispered to me, “Let me do the talking.” The rogue Alpha stopped about four feet in front of us and his eyes were still on me when he says, “And we meet again.” “I have not had the pleasure of meeting you. I am Alpha Chance and this is my territory.” Alpha Chance tells him but the rogue Alpha’s eyes are still on me as if he was studying me. “I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you since our last meeting.” The rogue Alpha says to me ignoring Alpha Chance. Alpha Chance lets go of my hand and then steps in front of me blocking me from the rog
Chance’s POV I had all the shopping bags brought in from my car and taken to my room so that Willow could put her stuff away while Beta Shawn and I had a more private discussion on the matter at hand. There was something about this rogue Alpha that felt familiar to me and I couldn’t place my finger on it. It was as if I knew him in a past life and it was clawing at me that I couldn’t figure it out. “I know that look.” Beta Shawn says and then adds, “Something is eating at you.” “I am telling you, I know this rogue Alpha but I don’t know how. Maybe if Alpha Hunter sees him, he might be able to shed some light on who he is.” I tell Beta Shawn as I rub my temples from the headache that was throbbing in my head. It was as if something was blocking me from remembering parts of my past. “What are we going to do to make sure that Willow stays safe? You know he is going to come for her if he is that intrigued by her. Maybe we should send her somewhere until this is all over.” Beta Sha
Willow’s POV A few days have passed since we sealed the Moon Witch in her realm and thankfully Celeste has kept in contact with me and she is doing well. She has decided to stay with Ash for the time being and plans on visiting Alpha Hunter so she can get to know him. What Luna Ella did for her that day showed that she accepts Celeste into their family and I hope that Celeste will give her the chance to become a stepmother to her. Which leads me to what is to happen to myself today. My nerves were on edge, knowing that I was going to meet my real father today. Alpha Chance and Alpha Shawn have continuously reassured me that I have nothing to worry about but I can’t help worrying about being rejected by him, like I had been with the man that had raised me all those years. I wanted nothing more than to have a parent that would accept me for who I am. As I sat outside on the back patio at the table, I had to wonder what he looks like and if he would accept me after he sees how much
Willow’s POV It took no convincing on my part to get Luna Rayne to allow us to borrow her moonstone. In fact, she was even willing to help in any way possible she could with her own moon magic because Celeste was Sal’s brother’s mate and she didn’t want her friend’s little brother hurting. When I returned to Sal’s lair, I had Luna Rayne in tow with me and Sal looked happy to see her. “I hear we have a rescue mission. Count me in.” Luna Rayne tells Sal and he smiles at his friend knowing that she has his back too. “Thank you, Luna Rayne.” Alpha Hunter says to her and she gives him a smile and says, “Ridgewood will always have your back and the Sun Witches. We are more of a family then just neighboring communities and I want happiness for us all.” Luna Rayne couldn’t have said it better and she would have been a wonderful High Priestess of our Covenant but that was taken from her. It was okay because she chose to be a Luna instead with her mate Alpha Reese. I’m starting to belie
Willow’s POV To say that I felt sated by my mates as we all fell asleep holding each other last night was an understatement. I had needed both of my mates, not just in mind, but also in body and soul after what had happened to Celeste. I needed to know that we were all here together and I had them here safe with me. As I woke up this morning, all I could think about was Celeste and what I could do to bring her back here to us. The look on Ash’s face last night told me that he wasn’t going to let that realm be closed with her in it but he was only one warlock standing against his Covenant and I knew he didn’t stand a chance on his own. Slowly getting out of bed so as not to disturb my mates, I quickly got dressed and headed to find Ash. Getting out of the house undetected was easy, due to the fact that everyone was still asleep from last night’s events. When I opened the door to the house, I was surprised to see that Ash was sitting on the steps staring at the spot where Celeste h
Chance’s POV I had been waiting in the shadows of the night, with Sal, behind Alpha Hunter, just in case the Moon Witch got passed him with Celeste, but I never imagined that they would have disappeared in thin air. “I thought you said that the Moon Witch’s powers wouldn’t work here.” I said to Sal in complete shock. Before he could answer me, I heard my mate screaming, and knew I had to get to her. Appearing from the shadows, I raced towards Willow who was now in Shawn’s arms, as he tried to comfort her. Willow kept crying out “No” as Shawn held her close and rubbed her back. “The Moon Witch didn’t take her.” A younger man said from beside Willow, and I knew this had to be Sal’s brother, and Celeste’s mate, Ash. “What do you mean the Moon Witch didn’t take her. I saw it with my own eyes.” Alpha Hunter said as he moved over towards us. “Celeste took her.” Ash says and Sal comes up behind me and says, “He’s right. Celeste had to of been the one that took her. The Moon Witch’s
Willow’s POV I must have fallen asleep in Alpha Shawn’s arms after he had made love to me. The connection that we shared here was more than I ever could have imagined having with him and we finally had the chance to open our hearts to each other. We were no longer two broken souls because we had mended the pieces of each other’s hearts back together. As I began to stir in his arms, he pulled me in closer to him and kissed the top of my forehead. It seems that both of us had needed a nap and he was just waking up too. “I could get used to this.” He said as he held me close to him. I wasn’t going to lie, it felt amazing being in his arms right now after we had been fighting the connection between the two of us for so long now. “Does that mean we will be sharing a room when we get back home?” I asked him, wondering if he was finally going to spend the whole night with me. “Things are different now and I promise once we get back to Red Moon the three of us are going to sit down an
Chance’s POV After the Lunas and pups had left for the Sun Witches’ home, we began to prepare for the worse. There was a good chance that the Moon Witch would return, especially since Celeste was still here in our world. Alpha Hunter wasn’t taking any chances and he had every wolf he had posted around the packhouse as the Sun Witches and a few of the Canyon Ridge Witches put up wards around the premises waiting for her to show her face. When everything was in place Alpha Hunter and I stood guard together waiting for her on the front stoop of the packhouse. Night was falling and we had gotten word that the Lunas and pups had safely reached the Sun Witches’ town and were safe for the night. A bit of relief filled me knowing that Willow was safe and that Shawn was with her. A part of me was jealous that he was there with her, but I knew I had to be here with Alpha Hunter to protect not only Willow but all wolf kind. It was an oath that I had taken and an oath that an Alpha took serio
Shawn’s POV I had my own mate on my mind, and needs that I wanted to fulfill with her since the car ride here. There was no way I was going to be dealing with Alpha Hunter’s daughter finding her mate and the best man for the job would be Alpha Caleb since he is kind a stepfather to her. Regardless, I had one thing on my mind and that was to get to a room alone with my mate. As we got to the second floor, I guided Willow down the hallway to the last room on the right-hand side. My reasoning for doing so was because I wanted as much privacy with my mate as possible, with the things I wanted to do to her. The need to be with her has been overwhelming since we mated and I can’t put it off much longer, as my body aches to be with her and so does my heart. The small touches and kisses aren’t enough and I need to be buried deep inside her and feel the ultimate connection between the two of us. Opening the door, Willow stepped inside and we both took in the king sized bed in the center
Willow’s POV Alpha Shawn kept stealing glances of me on the way to the Sun witches’ Covenant and I had to smile knowing that he was doing this, and I could feel the bond between us humming away. I was happy to hear that he would be accompanying us but really wished that both of my mates would be here with me now. Since Alpha Shawn and I mated we hadn’t gotten alone time together and I really looked forward to spending the night with him. I could tell by what I sensed from him that he too was looking forward to the night we would be spending together alone. “How much longer before we get there?” Celeste asks from the back seat breaking the silence in the SUV. Alpha Shawn looks in the rear-view mirror at her, before he says, “We should be there within the hour.” Celeste let out a sigh and I turned slightly in my seat to look at her. I could tell that she wasn’t used to riding in a vehicle and I wondered if she was getting car sick, from her pale appearance. “Are you feeling, o
Chance’s POV Knowing that Willow was going to stay with Celeste made me feel at ease knowing what we were about to do. Neither one of them needed to be around when we seal the Moon Witch in her realm hopefully forever. The Moon Witch has caused enough heartache for us to last a lifetime and I can’t wait till this is all over with and we can take Willow back to Red Moon and start our family together. A large group of us moved to the meeting room to discuss how we were going to trap the Moon Witch in her own realm. Once everyone was in the room Alexandra, Luna Rayne’s mother, began to tell us about the spell that Joshua used to trap her and her mate in the realms they were in. On the way here she had made some adjustments to the spell and she began to show Sal. “Sal, do you think it will work?” Alpha Hunter asks him and Sal begins to shake his head before he says, “Yes, but we will need to do the spell when the sun is at its highest peak, to draw this much power. It’s too late tod
