Chance’s POV Willow’s heat has lasted way longer than any other she wolves I have known of and none of us can figure out why she is still in heat after two weeks. Beta Shawn had to move to another floor for the time being because it was causing him pain to hear her cries even though she had rejected him. He was trying to work things out with Jess but at night when he heard Willow crying out it would send him into a frenzy knowing that she needed her mates. Alpha Hunter called Alpha Reese and he was to be arriving today with Luna Rayne to try and figure out what was going on with Willow. I was completely exhausted trying to attend to her needs, while I also was trying to take care of the pack’s needs, all while Willow slept in between. I had spilled so much of my seed inside of her that I was sure that we would be expecting a pup after this, which made me feel a bit relieved knowing that she would stay with me if she was with pup, not that I wanted that to be the reason why she cho
Willow’s POV My body felt so weak as I sat up waiting for Alpha Chance to leave the room to get Luna Rayne. As I watched him leave the room my heart ached knowing he was leaving my side. He has been so loving and caring for me and my needs and I can see how it was taking a toll on him as dark circles now plague around his eyes and I wondered if he was getting any sleep. I hated seeing him like this and I wish there was something that I could do to stop my heat, to relieve him from the stress that I am putting on him. Luna Rayne enters the room quickly after Alpha Chance opens the door and she must have been waiting right outside of it for him to allow her in. She was the first person I have seen other than Alpha Chance in two weeks and I knew I had to be looking like hell at this moment if Alpha Chance looked that tired. I watched as Luna Rayne moves to my bedside and I say, “I apologize for how I look.” Luna Rayne let out a chuckle and said, “Sweetie, we have all been in your
Willow’s POV It was crazy that when I had finally let myself love Alpha Chance and accepted his love that my heat instantly stopped. It was as if the Moon Goddess was trying to show me the way. As I lay in his arms, I finally felt like I was truly at home and that I never should have left. I stupidly fell for Damon and his damn dark magic that he had used on me to believe he was my mate and that he truly loved me and did all the right things to make me feel wanted. If Damon was my true mate, then Luna Rayne’s theory would have been the only thing that would have saved me, but that was in theory. “What are you thinking about?” Alpha Chance asks me as he brushes his fingertips gently across my arm like a feather. I didn’t know if this was the right time to tell him what I was truly thinking about, but I didn’t want there to be any secrets between the two of us, so I decided it be best to tell him, “I was thinking about what Luna Rayne had told me.” “And what is it that she told
Chance’s POV There was no doubt after meeting Willow’s mother why she was so broken when she came here. The woman should have never been able to reproduce if this was the way she treated her only child. Willow was an intelligent, strong woman and I wondered where she had gotten this from because it definitely wasn’t from her mother. I had to wonder how she survived for as long as she had under a roof with this woman. I had told Willow that I would see her mother to the guest house and she should stay at the packhouse. Thankfully, Willow didn’t put up a fight and I was happy she didn’t because once I got her mother to the guest house I planned on having her tell me everything she knew about Willow’s father one way or another. “Where are you taking me?” She asked as I walked her out of the house and to my vehicle. “Get in the car.” I told her as I opened the door. “You said I could stay with you.” Willow’s mother said as she refused to get into the vehicle. “I said you could
Willow’s POV Thankfully, Alpha Chance could feel how uncomfortable I was with Beta Shawn staring at me in Jess’s presence. I wondered how things were going between the two of them over the last two weeks while I was in heat. They looked like they had just been out for a run together, which was a good sign that their relationship was heading in the right direction, but the look he was just giving me was telling me that he wasn’t completely over what we had. When the men disappeared into the house, I asked Jess to join Luna Rayne and I as we sat on the patio with a cold glass of iced tea. “How are things going between Beta Shawn and you?” I asked Jess hoping that they were doing good, because all I wanted for the two of them was happiness like they used to have together. Jess took a sip of her iced tea and I was wondering if she was stalling but she then said, “Truthfully, things were rocky at first but it is getting better. He told me that you spoke to him and I appreciate what y
Willow’s POV Cool water began to drip on my body as it slowly woke me and I had realized where I was. I jumped when I saw Beta Shawn standing over me and I knew where the drips of water were coming from. “What are you doing here?” I asked him as I slowly sat up. “Do you have any clue what time it is and how long you have been gone?” Beta Shawn asks me and I had no idea what time it was or even how long I had been here. All I know is that it was the most peaceful sleep that I had had in a long time, and I was feeling refreshed by it. “I’m sorry, I went for a swim and I came here to relax. I must have fallen asleep.” I told Beta Shawn as he moved to sit beside me. “Do you know how scared I have been not able to find you? Not to mention how crazy Alpha Chance is right now.” Beta Shawn tells me and I feel bad that I have worried the both of them. Beta Shawn then began to look around at the cave and then back at me and asked, “Why here? Why did you come here of all places?” Hones
Willow’s POV When morning came, I felt like I had been crying all night long, as my eyes felt swollen and to my surprise I was still in Alpha Chance’s arms. He had not left my side all night long proving to me that he was going to stand beside me through all of this with Beta Shawn. The sound of Alpha Chance’s phone going off stirred him as he tried not to wake me. Stretching in his arms I moved from his chest so he could reach for his phone on the nightstand. “Hello.” He said into the phone as I settled myself next to his body letting my head rest once again on his chest. “We will be right down.” I then heard him say and I wondered what was going on. “Is everything okay?” I asked him once he hung the phone up. “There was another rogue attack last night at Blood Moon and Alpha Hunter wants to speak to you.” Alpha Chance tells me and I knew this was my opportunity to talk to him about my plan with Damon. “Speaking of the rogues, I wanted to talk to you about something.” I tol
Willow’s POV “Willow, we may know who your father is. I was going to talk to you last night about it, but you had taken off. I want to have a blood sample taken from you first so that we can validate it.” Alpha Chance tells me and I understand why he wants to test my blood first and I didn’t want to get my hopes up before it is validated. “Okay. Just let me know when you need to take it.” I tell him as I pray that he has found him. “Now we need to go and talk to Alpha Hunter.” Alpha Chance says as he pulls me out of his office and towards the meeting room with Beta Shawn following us. I tried my best to wipe away the evidence that I had just been crying before we stepped into the meeting room. As we step into the meeting room, I am shocked to see Jess sitting at the table with a smirk on her face as she watches the three of us enter the meeting room. Mind linking Alpha Chance, I ask him, “What is Jess doing here?” “I don’t know.” He linked back with a confused look on his fa
