Willow’s POV Days, maybe even a week has passed, and I find myself going mad being in this cell alone. The only person who comes into the room is Celeste and I am thankful to her for bringing me food and water, but I honestly don’t know how much longer I can take being kept in here. My wolf side is itching to be free, but the invisible magical wall is preventing me from shifting and I feel like she is clawing me from the inside out. Thankfully, my father hasn’t returned and I haven’t had to listen to his harsh words, even though they have been haunting my dreams. It was a hard pill to swallow knowing how much he hated me now and it made me even more depressed, as I began to feel unwanted once again. The lack of my mates to confirm to me that I was wanted was beginning to also play a toll on me and I hadn’t realized that they were the reason that I was able to not feel so depressed in this world. The two of them not coming for me yet also made me wonder if they ever would and if
Willow’s POV I held Celeste’s hand as she maneuvered us down the dimly lit hallways that seemed more of a maze and I knew if it wasn’t for her I would have been lost in a matter of seconds. Trusting Celeste was a leap of faith and right now I had no other choice than to believe that she was now on my side. One thing I did know was that we were heading in the right direction as the howls became louder and I knew the wolves were here for me. As we made our way around a bend Celeste stops and I almost plow into her as she quickly moves back around the wall and places her finger over her lips to tell me to be quiet. While we stood there in silence, I could hear voices coming from right around the corner and I knew they were the Moon Witch’s men. It was clear from what they were saying that the wolves were winning, and they were talking about making a run for it. Honestly, I didn’t blame them for wanting to make a run for it, especially if all the Alphas were here. I couldn’t imagine w
Chance’s POV Word got to me that Willow had made it out of the tunnels, and I knew that Celeste was with her. I motion to Alpha Hunter that they were safe and that we could move forward with our plan. Our men then slowly started to retreat, and the second part of our plan went into action as Alpha Hunter motioned to his men to set the detonators. There was only one problem to this plan, and it was we hadn’t encountered the Moon Witch or Willow’s father since we raided the old mining headquarters. It made me wonder if they had already headed to Canyon Ridge with receiving my letter and I just hope that Alpha Conner and his men were prepared for them. Once we were all in the clear and in the main outdoor building Alpha Hunter gave the command to level the old mining tunnels to the ground taking away one more of the Moon Witch’s hiding places. As soon as the detonation went off the room began to fill with dust from within the tunnels and we exited the building knowing that the tunn
Willow’s POV The blast sent us all flying backwards but someone caught me before my body hit the ground and softened the impact. My ears began to ring and I slowly turned to see who had caught me. Laying beneath my body lay Celeste and her eyes were shut and she wasn’t moving. I began to shake her, trying to wake her up, but she remained unconscious, and I was beginning to worry that she hit the ground too hard. I began to cry out her name, hoping she would hear me and open her eyes, but she still remained motionless on the ground. Alpha Shawn made it to me and began to check me for injuries. “I am fine. Help Celeste.” I cried to him. Alpha Chance then made it to me and when he saw Celeste’s helpless body lying on the ground, he quickly picked her up and began to run with her to what I assumed was the infirmary. Alpha Shawn helped me to my feet, and we began to follow them, and I just prayed that she was okay. She had taken the blunt force of the blow to save me, and my pup and
Shawn’s POV Alpha Reese and Luna Rayne came running into the infirmary and Luna Rayne went straight to Alpha Hunter and Alpha Caleb and their newborn pup, but Alpha Reese came straight over to me and Alpha Chance. “I need your help.” Alpha Reese tells me and I can see there is an issue that needs our attention. “What’s going on?” I asked him but his eyes shoot to Willow and then back at me and I knew he didn’t want to say anything in front of her. I lean down and kissed Willow on the forehead and said, “I will be back stay here with Celeste.” Alpha Chance did the same and the two of us left the infirmary with Alpha Reese and headed outside back to the front of the house. Alpha Conner and the Sun Witches were now standing around where the Moon Witch once stood and I had to wonder what they were searching for. The blast felt like the largest burst of magical energy I have ever felt in my life and I couldn’t imagine that she could have survived it. “Good, you guys are here.” Alph
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
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
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
