Liam is Willow's mate, but he plans to reject her, since he doesn't want a human mate because he might be the next alpha. On the other hand, Leo tries by all means to protect Willow from this rejection in order to use her to humiliate Liam in front of a pack which prefers purity in the werewolf bloodline. Willow also discovers a secret about Leo that gets her fuming with rage and lust for revenge. Through their fights, Leo and Willow end up having to work together to survive in places that sees them as outcasts.
View MoreWillow I try to turn around to look, but I feel a cold object pressed against my neck, and my heartbeat starts racing. “Get in before somebody sees us,” a low and menacing voice behind me whispers. “Don’t turn around, don’t try to look at me and don’t try any tricks.” I take small cautious steps, and Leo looks at me, his eyes filled with sadness, but not fear. Does he know who the person behind me is? The door creaks shut behind us. Two more men appear from behind me, both of them are holding guns, and I still feel the cold metallic object on my neck. One man points a gun at Leo, and the other one holds his gun and stands in the middle, his eyes darting back and forth between us. “This is simple, your life is in each other’s hands, if she moves without permission, he shoots him.” He glances at the man holding Leo at gunpoint. “And if he moves without permission, he shoots her.” He glances at the man who is holding me at gunpoint. They are all tall, muscular, and they could pass
Willow After the most hurtful words from Leo, I find myself at the zoology building without knowing how I arrived. This is Leo’s side I’ve never seen before, and he called me desperate. I stare at the door to the garden lab, and I try to ignore the feeling in my heart that is begging me to open it. I have never opened the door without Professor Malino’s permission, but she has trusted me not to open it without her approval. My heartbeat quickens, because what I’m about to do could get me into a huge trouble. I place my finger on the scanner. My fingerprint gets rejected, and an alarm goes off. The lab glows with red lights, and a loud noise that sounds like sirens fills the room. I run to the door, planning to run away, but I panic, thinking about how the animals in the garden lab are probably distressed. I walk back with hands on my ears, and I try my luck again on the fingerprint sensor, but the alarm gets louder. I’m so getting arrested, and if she did this to test if she cou
Willow I wake up after a much deserved rest, and I head to Professor Malino’s office to ask her if I could see Asclepius. The poor wolf probably thinks that I abandoned him. “You can’t go in there. There are students in the zoology lab, and only a few people know about the garden lab behind it. We can’t open the doors in front of those students.” I nod in agreement. “I just miss him. I’m sorry.” “You can come according to the schedule that we have been following, come back later.” She says authoritatively. “Thank you, professor. I’m grateful that you have kept him safe.” I get up from the seat and I prepare to leave. “It’s my pleasure. Are you okay? I mean you are back from scattering your brother’s ashes.” “I’m fine.” I force a smile. “Did you think about my proposal?” “I did.” “And?” She raises her eyebrows. “I’m not going to get myself involved with that.” I say while still holding on to the doorknob. “But it’s your research. Are you pulling yourself out of your researc
Liam ‘I hate this! I don’t ever want to look weak, Liam, and that is exactly what you are doing. People talk, and the last thing I want is finding myself discussed by jealous pack members.’ Lucy sends me a mind-link as she paces in our kitchen at Carkeek Park. ‘But all this will soon be over, I am slowly regaining Willow’s trust, and we know that if Mike kidnaps Willow as planned, Leo will make him promises.’ I line up four cakes which we are preparing for the party that will be hosted later at Alpha Hunter’s house. ‘What does Mike know?’ ‘My sources tell me he thinks Willow is Leo’s little sister, something that Leo told people.’ I send a mind-link. Damn the werewolves for their supernatural hearing ability, and we can’t risk other wolves eavesdropping. ‘Why would he say that?’ ‘He was trying to protect her. I still don’t understand why he never showed the same protectiveness toward his mates.’ I growl in frustration. My wolf hates it when Leo tries to get closer to my mate. ‘
“What is going on?” Mom asks Chloe outside her bedroom. “Why don’t you ask your favourite daughter?” She replies, and I hear footsteps indicating that she is walking away. She opens the bedroom door and looks at me with a faint smile. “I’ll speak to Chloe later. You know how difficult she can be.” I smile and nod in agreement. My phone rings, and Leo’s name appears on the screen. I press the red circle and put the phone aside. Mom raises her eyebrows, but she doesn’t say a word. “I left the cake downstairs when I heard the commotion. Are you okay?” “It was just me and Chloe being siblings,” I shrug. “But your cheek!” She looks at me with furrowed eyebrows. “It’s okay.” She pulls me by my arm before I protest, and I yelp. “I’m sorry,” she says as she places a pack of frozen peas on my cheek. “For what?” I look up at her as I sit on the bar stool in the kitchen. “Everything.” I raise my eyebrows. “Everything?” This is the worst apology a person can ever get. I glare at her
Willow After Leo has left me alone in the garden, I sit on the grass, thoughts about Professor Malino and Leo come racing in my mind. Leo didn’t seem surprised when I told him about Professor Malino’s plans, but Professor Malino has always seemed like a saint. She was maternal and sweet, not someone who would do something that could kill others. Did Leo somehow find out about my research and that’s why he did all he could to find the videos? How did he even find the videos? I get up to go to the house. I walk in through the kitchen to avoid bumping into anyone, and I lock myself in my room, if it’s still mine. I continue to read a book about werewolves. I honestly started reading for research, but I continue because of the drama. Leo would laugh at me if he found out I read fiction, just like he predicted. I fall asleep, deciding to go to the hotel later, and I’m woken by a knock on the door. “What do you want?” I ask Chloe when I open the door. “Oh, come on.” She chuckles. “L
Leo “Willow, wait.” I follow her without knowing why. “What do you want, Leo? You have humiliated me in front of my sister.” “Don’t I deserve to do that? How many times have you humiliated me in front of Liam? And I never complained.” “So, this is payback? With my sister?” She purses her lips. “This is not payback. I met Chloe, and I like her.”“When did this happen? Did you go back to the hospital to comfort her and then went with me to the hotel and kissed me?” “There you go. With your jealousy, again.” I let out an exasperated sigh. “Me? Jealous?” She snorts. “I’m just looking out for you.” “Looking out for me? So, didn't you stomp out of my apartment when you saw a girl walk in? And you didn’t even know her. Were you also looking out for me?” “That was, that was...” “That was?” A smile forms on my lips that I try to fight. I have never seen her speechless before. “I was lonely, not jealous.” “So, it’s true. You just reach out when you need something? Or when Liam is un
I arrive at the house from the hotel room, bracing myself for insults and screams that are about to emanate from my mom. I press the doorbell and Chloe’s eyes widen when she sees me before replacing her bewildered facial expression with a smirk. “What. The. Hell?” I eye her suspiciously. “You made it,” she exhales. “That’s not how you should greet your sister.” “Yes, because we adore each other so much.” I roll my eyes. "Come on, am I not even going to get a hug?" “Why don’t we keep things the way they have always been?” “Wow!” She shakes her head. “Where’s your mother?” “Please don’t cause a scene.” She looks at me pleadingly. “I’m here for Marcel, and I will be out of your hair.” I walk past her, and she follows behind. I find my mom wearing the most elegant black maxi dress and her face radiant, with her golden hair perfectly framing her face. She is walking around the room, ensuring that everyone is okay and thanking them for coming. She stops dead in her tracks when
"Hi Marcel, Marcellus, young warrior." I appear on the video, doing an awkward curtsy. "Or whatever your name means. I’m lazy to look for its meaning on the Internet again. Like, why would your parents give you such an old name?" The room gets filled with laughter. "Anyway, here it is, your prediction of my life when I was five years old. The time for me to kill people with experiments has finally arrived." I press every button of the remote, but the video doesn’t pause or stop, and no one makes an attempt to get it to stop. I close my eyes as my humiliating video continues to play. "I’m going to work on my research soon. I hope to find a cure, because I’m jealous, and I don’t ever want you to enjoy the advantages of being a hot 300-year-old mysterious vampire in high school." Laughter fills the auditorium, and I wonder if they are laughing at what I’m saying on the video, or at me for looking so embarrassed. "And, I don’t want to find myself walking with you in the future, and
Liam should be here already. I have never spent more than ten minutes in this forest without him magically appearing, but tonight, it has been an hour. The wind stings my eyes as I pace back and forth between the towering trees.Then I hear cheers and people clapping. My heart beats louder, warning me that I have moved too far into the forest and no one would find me if something happened to me. I contemplate going back to campus to take a nap while I wait, but I miss him too much and his phone is off, so a few more minutes of waiting won't hurt.My curiosity gets the better of me, and I slowly walk towards the noise, while praying that it is not a cult whereby they celebrate making a human sacrifice. I see Liam and Lucy and kissing as if it is a wedding ceremony, then the cheers get louder. I blink, hoping to wake up from this nightmare, but every time I open my eyes, I discover that I’m still in the dark and Cursed Forest dimly lit by the crescent moonlight.I take a few steps ba...
