Willow

My footsteps resonated in the room with each step I took. I was in nothing but my fluffy bunny slippers, but I could still hear how they slapped against the tiled ground. The irony of it all was the fact that the bunny slippers weren't exactly that loud, my ears were just overly sensitive. Why? I was worried. Overly worried.

I bit down on my lower lip, but it did nothing to calm me down. Instead, it only heightened the anxiety I was feeling and no matter what I did to try to calm down, it didn't work.

I settled on to the stool in front of my vanity and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I was shocked for a moment, because the person I saw in the mirror looked nothing like me. Dark circles layered the spot underneath my eyes. It was late but I could still see how pale I was. In summary, I looked like a ghost that had just resurrected from the dead.

Oh goddess.

A sigh slid past my lips as I gazed at the mirror. I had no idea what I was doing, all of this was just a

    Carter My footsteps echoed with each step I took down the hallway. A stream of the sun's rays flooded the place, but it still didn't do anything to lift the dreary feeling that lingered in the atmosphere. It was suffocating to say the least, and if I had the chance, I would be nowhere near here. But being the current alpha’s son and the next heir meant I had to make some sacrifices, whether I liked it or not. The entire place was quiet. The prisoners knew better than to make so much as a sound in my presence. You could call me evil for enforcing such principles on them, but it was those same principles that prevented a lot of mishaps from going on.“I do hope you're enjoying your jail time.” Were the first words I let slip out my mouth the moment I'd arrived at the cell I had in mind. “If you're not, I personally think seeing it as a sort of time out would help soften the blow.”Silence. Silence stretched into the day as the man on the other side of the bars said nothing. He had

    Carter I pumped my fist by my side, hoping it would help calm the anger bubbling inside me. While I did that, I inhaled and exhaled, hoping it would help calm my nerves and help me relax, but I couldn't be wrong. In fact, it felt like everything I did seemed to worsen my current situation. With each step I took, I wanted nothing more than to throw my fist into someone's face, or better still, hurl something to the ground. Maybe if I was alone or going to be alone for the next couple of hours, I had my punching bag and a few spare mugs I didn't mind if they were broken I had to spare. But right now, that was a no no. I was on my way to see someone. Someone who would help me get rid of the bastard who'd dared to threaten me. “Or are you going to find a way to cover your secret”. Asher's words played vehemently in my head. “ I would probably do the same if I were you, but you should probably know that you can't hide it forever.”What did he mean by that? And how dare he switch it up

    Carter The air was still, and for a moment, I thought time had stopped completely. Not a single word slid past our lips; not mine, nor father's. The only sound that could be heard in his huge office was the almost silent tick tock of the clock high up on the wall. Something swirled at the bottom of my stomach and after a moment, I recognized it as anxiety. I hadn't even started , and yet, I could feel myself losing it. I took a cursory glance around the office just to distract myself. Two huge shelves stood just to my right, one filled with books, and the other for showing off his many awards in the business world. Dad's collection was marvelous and deep down, I wanted nothing more than to surpass it one day. Probably when I was the new Alpha and…“What about Asher?” Dad's voice cut through my thoughts, pulling me back to the present. “Talk to me.”“Father.” I cleared my throat before continuing. In all honesty, this was the moment I was waiting for and I'd be damned if I let thi

    Willow Even though I had been here before, it did nothing to eliminate the chills that ran down my spine, with each step I took. The high walls and the menacing growls from each cell was more than enough to have me sinking further into my bones. I inhaled and exhaled, as I muttered a quick prayer to the goddess. I was feeling anxious and I wanted nothing to go wrong. If there was anybody that could do that, it would be her. “Are you sure about this?” Someone whispered in my head. There was no surprise there because I knew the voice very well. It was Mia, my wolf. “I don't have a really good feeling about any of this.”“Why?” I spoke back. “We're just going to let him know, that's all. It's not like we're doing something bad."Mia was my wolf, everyone in the pack had theirs and on a lot of occasions, they communicated with them. But not me, I was nothing but a weak omega and as such, everything about me was limited. Even the times when I could speak with my wolf. Sometimes

    Willow My footsteps echoed with each step I took down the hall. Normally, anytime I went down these halls, the low growls from the other cells was more than enough to throw me off guard. But not today. Today, I had my sights set on bigger things. Today was the day of the trial and I wanted to see Asher one more time before it started. I ignored the churning in my stomach as I went down the hall. For the life of me, I couldn't bring myself to relax, not one bit. My anxiety levels spiked up and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't seem to bring them down. “Calm down, Willow.” I muttered to myself. “Calm down, stop being overly anxious.”I fought to follow my advice as I inched closer to Asher's cell. The moment I got there, I froze.An empty cell stared back at me as I stood there, rooted in my spot. My chest tightened as I found it hard to breathe. “What the hell was going on?” I muttered frantically as my eyes darted around each and every corner of the cell. It was obviou

    Carter I reclined in my seat, the office chair going back a few inches. Usually, I'd be bothered about falling back and toppling over, but not today. Today, I had more important things to think of. I snuck a glance at the calendar in front of me. On one of the days in the month of March, a red pen had been used to strike out the number 16. It was the day the trial had been scheduled for, and coincidentally, it was today. I was a bag of emotions, each and every one of them struggling to get out to at least gain dominance. I was angry, sad, mad and excited all at once and the fact that I was experiencing all of these emotions because of one individual didn't exactly sit well with me. Asher.I still hadn't gotten used to the taste of his name on my lips, and if I was being honest, I wasn't sure I ever could. He had been on my mind for the last couple of days now and at this point, I was sure I was now behaving like Willow. She didn't tell me, but I could bet she had been thinking

    Carter. My footsteps echoed all around me as I moved from one side of the room to the other. I was pacing, and I knew it wasn't going to solve anything, but could I bring myself to do anything about it? No. A big fat no. I clenched and unclenched my fists by my side. Ever since the guards walked out of here, the urge to break something was growing and increasing by the minute, and I didn't want that. Relax Carter, relax. I inhaled and exhaled a couple of times, and surprisingly, it worked. At least, with a clearer head, I would be able to approach the situation rationally and not make hasty decisions. What distinguishes an alpha from the common man, is their mind. Dad's words echoed in my ear. Whenever I was overly mad about something, he always said it out loud. Even as a child, I'd committed that particular memory to mind and if I was being honest, it had actually helped me out of a few uncomfortable situations. Why was Willow even there in the first place? What could ha

    Willow I gulped, hoping it would do something to ease the anxiety crawling around in the pit of my stomach, but I couldn't be any more wrong. Instead, the more I tried to calm myself down, the more my anxiety levels spiked and the worst part was that, ur had barely begun. And by it, I meant Carter's wrath. I didn't need a soothsayer or an incredibly high IQ to know that I'd gotten Carter pissed. The moment the guards had arrived with a message that Carter was looking for me, I just knew it was all over. I'd wanted more time, some more time to try and find Asher. He couldn't have gone too far, right? But that didn't matter, even if it did, there was still no way I would have been able to catch up with him. Asher was a beta, one of the strongest ones I'd ever seen, so how could a lowly omega who could barely shift run after and catch him? It wasn't just impossible, it was literally madness as its peak. I played with the invisible dirt wedged in between my fingers. There was

    The night was dark, with only the gentle light from the moon shedding and casting its warm glow over the earth. Stars littered the night sky, and against the pitch black backdrop of it all, the scene above looked nothing short of a beautiful painting. The sound of leaves crunching underneath someone's feet cut straight through my thoughts. Immediately, I turned to the side, and standing a couple of feet away from me, was a black wolf, tall and mighty with its beady eyes staring down at me. A couple of moments passed as we both stared at each other, none of us daring to move. Something swirled in the pit of my stomach and before I could make sense of all that was happening, I found myself transforming back into my human form. My fear heightened when I realized whoever it was, was still in its wolf form. I didn't have to think too much because I'd barely mumbled the rest of the questions, before the wolf morphed into his human form, and the moment he did, a huge smile made its wa

    I gently pushed the door to my bedroom shut. When a small click reached my ears, I heaved a sigh of relief. I had no idea why I'd just done that. Mum was probably halfway to slumber town now, so why was I so worried that I would have woken her?I sighed again, before gently clasping my hands together. A slight tremble rocked my fingers, but I kept them together, going they would stop soon.Luckily for me, it didn't last long. The moment I witnessed the last of it, I headed to my study desk in the corner of the room and pulled out my books. I had a test in the morning, and AP Chemistry, isn't something you just waltz through with an empty brain. I knew there was trouble the moment I read the first line and was unable to grasp anything. After trying for the second and third time, and still nothing had changed, I just knew I was cooked. There was no way I could focus on studying, not when there was something on my mind. No, not something. Someone.Zayn.No matter how many times I t

    Silence filled the air, except for the tip of my fingertips drumming against the steel table in front of me. I had no idea why this man, Shadow, had gone with steel tables. Did he not have any class? I understood that he ran an underground business and was trying to keep things tough and scary, but who said the affairs of the underworld couldn't be spiced up with some class?Take for example. I was a perfect fit Or perhaps the steel table wasn't such a bad idea. Now that I thought about it, it wasn't exactly useless. Let's say Shadow's warehouse happened to get raided by a rival group right now, this steel table could actually come in handy. Just by flipping it over, it could actually give Shadow ample time to bring out his gun and attack. “Why don't you take a picture?” I let out suddenly, causing Shadow to flinch. I watched as he blinked back a couple of times, obviously trying to readjust his eyes to his surroundings again. A sly grin made its way to my face immediately a

    I stood rooted in my spot, my blood boiling. I didn't even bat an eyelid when the sound of Alessandro's car driving out of the compound reached my ears. My mind whirled with a million questions and a thousand more thoughts. How dare he? How could he even do such a thing?I'd always perceived Alessandro to be a heartless and ruthless monster, but the last thing I expected was him bringing a little boy into the equation. Leo was still a little child for fucks sake!I pressed my eyes shut, and the moment the darkness engulfed me, I regretted it immediately. Leo's bruised back and face filled my vision, his wounds taunting me. I shook my head as I imagined his wails and sobs.Leo was a delicate boy, the best kid in the whole world. He didn't deserve any of that and that wasn't even the worst part. The part that made my blood boil and crack at the same time was the fact that it wasn't his fault in any way. I'd brought this up on him. Me, I did that. Strip. Alessandro's authorita

    My heart leapt to my throat as the sound of something scurrying along the floorboards reached my ears. I sucked in a deep breath as I sunk deeper to the edge of the wall, my back coming in contact with the bed's fluffy headboard. As I hugged my knees, I rocked back and forth, hoping the little gesture would calm my thumping heart and calm me down a bit, even if it was in the tiniest of ways.It didn't work. It wasn't working. Not at all. Not yet. I sucked in a deep breath as I allowed my heartbeat to return to its steady pacing. I heaved a sigh when it finally stabilized. I was tired, tired of living like this. But did I have any other choice? I wasn't sure. I didn't think so. It'd been two days since I walked out on Alessandro. Tao days since I'd locked myself in my room and refused to come out, and even as time ticked by, I still wasn't sure if I regretted my decision. A frown appeared on my face at the thought of a sour memory. No matter how hard I'd tried to forget a

    Fear raked through my body as my heart steadily picked up its pace. Cold chills raced up and down my spine as I stared wide eyed at the scene in front of me. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if I was cursed or something. Cursed to always find myself in situations like these. But that wasn't the part that bothered me. A little curse here and there never hurt anybody. Hell, maybe I'd even cursed myself. I did have a knack for messing around with Ouija boards and all when I was little. The part that bothered me was how I always managed to find myself in situations like these, no matter how hard I tried to avoid it. After Dagger had dropped the bombshell and given me an ultimatum, I was stumped. I went blank. He couldn't get my attention until he poked me with something. I didn't think much of it, but now that I did, I couldn't shake off the feeling he'd done something. Ejected a tracking device or chip into my body maybe, or perhaps he'd even poisoned me. The ideas were end

    I watched as the blue flames lit the tip of the cigar that was tucked in between my fingers. As I pushed the flames closer to where I wanted it to be, something caught my eye. How the hell I was able to notice it was strange to me, but now that I'd seen it, I just couldn't ignore it. Just in between my fingers where the cigar sat, Red hue tainted my skin. I wasn't exactly sensitive and I barely bruised, so this was definitely a discovery. A sly smirk made its way to my lips. I didn't even have to think hard to figure out why the skin in between my fingers was pink, or better still, turning red. For the past hour, or more, I'd been replacing rolls and rolls of cigars the moment I exhausted the last one. At some point I'd lost count of how many of the smoke machines I'd inhaled, but I knew they were a lot. I was pushing myself and maybe if I didn't hold back, I would finally know my limit. If I actually had one, that is. I exhaled a huge puff of smoke, after inhaling for a coup

    My mind reeled with a million and one things all ar once and I swear if I didn't find a way to stop it, I just might run mad on the spot. I'd just told them I knew Alessandro. Shit. If I was being honest, I had no clue if I'd done the right thing or not. I suspected foul play the moment I realized I wasn't Alessandro’s captive. Who else knew of my existence? Papa had taken a wide step back from indulging in businesses that were a norm in mafia families, so there was no way I could be in someone's radar. But the moment he knew I recognized Alessandro, I just knew I was in deep shit. I hated Alessandro, literally everyone did, even Antonio. But as I stared at the murderous glare my captor wore as he arranged an array of weapons I didn't recognize, I quickly came to the conclusion that there were more people that hated the man. Even more than I did. And it shocked me to the bones.Who the hell was he? Was he working alone? What was his relationship with Alessandro? And what

    Chapter 82Destiny's POV I was anxious, and literally nothing I did was calming me down. Instead, the more I tried, the more I failed woefully at it too. There wasn't any technique I hadn't tried. I had tried counting to ten and back again, and even making a conscious effort at trying to regulate my breathing, but it just wasn't working. It was a surprise how Carter hadn't noticed how fidgety I was. Or maybe he had, he has just decided that he wasn't going to comment on it, and even that didn't sit right with me.My stomach churned, pulling me out of my quick monologue. Before it could let out another sound, I folded my fingers in front of my belly. I wasn't exactly sure it was going to do anything, but it was too late to try to take back what I'd just done. So instead, I fixed my gaze as I tried to remove the invisible dirt that had found their way underneath my nails. The car was silent, save for the gentle hum from the engine.
