POV Dean
I looked back at Willow when I realized that the leader of the rouge/hunter was her ex boyfriend Jake. There was zero chance that this didn't have something to do with her.
"What the fuck is going on, Jake? What are you doing? You're attacking our pack? Why?" James demanded as he stepped closer to his brother.
"Really? This pack took everything from me. Our parents hated the Alpha and they were right. He is controlling and a tyrant. There is no freedom here." Jake spat back.
"But you left. You were free of him. Why come back?" Carla spoke up.
POV LeeI sat and stared at the wall. There was nothing else I could do but wait and hope. After our discussion in the hospital wing, Luna Rose insisted that we all go clean up and rest. She was planning a dinner so we could stay strong.Luckily, all the rouges and hunters had left not just this territory but the other packs as well. Jake had gotten what he wanted. I still couldn't figure out how he had been able to get so many hunters and rouges to do his bidding. He must have told them of Willow's powers and promised that she would help them. I knew that wasn't going to end well for her. She would rather die than help them and they would soon learn that Jake didn't control her the way he had probably told them he did. They would kill him and torture her. Eventually they would kill her. We all knew that it was only a matter of time and we needed to move fast.There was a knock on the bedroom door and I rushed to throw clot
POV WillowI awoke with a gasp, everything rushing back to me at once. I surprised to find myself on a comfortable bed. I wasn't even tied up. I sat up and looked around. The room I was in was nice, not super big but it resembled a pack guest room. I looked down and was relieved to see that I was in the same clothes that we went to the field in with no injuries.I was confused. If I didn't know any better, I could swear that I was in a pack house. I took a deep breath and smelled the mingling of many wolves and humans from the rest of the house. How would Jake find himself in charge of a pack house, not to mention a whole pack?I quietly got up and peeked out of the large window. I saw that I was on the third floor and my window looked out onto what could only be the pack training grounds. I watched as huge groups of pack warriors trained along side of human hunters. What the hell?A figure drew my eye and I focused on the m
POV WillowMy stomach dropped as we walked into the room. Jake and Sam just stared for a moment before Jake rushed towards me."Thank you, Livia. Would you join us?" he asked her politely as he grabbed my hand.She paused and looked towards me. I sent her a pleading look and she sighed but nodded slightly."Of course." she agreed.I was forever grateful to her. I knew that this must be difficult, sitting in a room with the mate who mistreated you and his evil cousin and the girl your mate wanted to leave you for but I just couldn't face the two of them by myself.{She's loyal to you already.} Nox said and I agreed.{She doesn't deserve this.} I replied.{None of us do. Her poor wolf is suffering so much. Thankfully, she's strong and I think she would survive a rejection or if Sam died.} Nox informed me.{Good because he's not going to get away with this.} I vowed and I felt Nox agree.{Tell her wo
POV WillowI sat for a moment in disbelief. I tried to process what I was just told. Could my parents be this underhanded as to keep this from me for my entire life? Were they really manipulating me from the start? Would my child really be that strong? "You're lying." I spat as I stood.Both Jake and Sam smirked. Jake joined us in standing as Sam leaned closer to me."I'm sorry sweetie but it's true." Sam insisted.I stared at him, not being able to discern if he was lying or not.{Is he telling the truth?} I asked Nox.For a moment their was silence but then she spoke.{I don't know. He's telling the truth about your ancestors and most multicolored wolves don't end up with their mates but that's just because multicolored wolves are so powerful and suspicious and most males don't appreciate that in a mate. He might of told Jake this so if he isn't able to take you from him ear
POV WillowA chill ran over my entire body as I stared at Livia. She nodded and stood, then she knelt in front of me. I furrowed my brow at her."I, Livia Greene, cut all pack ties to the Moonstone pack and pledge my loyalty and life to you, Willow and your pack. I vow to protect and obey you for the rest of my days." She said seriously.I stared at her in disbelief as I felt a whisper of magic surround me. It was so slight that I would have missed it if it wasn't so silent and quiet.Livia looked up at me, waiting.{Accept her. Like an Alpha would.} Nox prodded and I nodded, remembering the words my Dad would say to new pack members."I, Willow Oak, accept you Livia Greene as a member of my pack. I vow to protect and take care of you for the rest of my days." I replied and I felt the magic settle on us.Livia grinned but her smile dropped as we heard footsteps in the hall.{They will drug you. Don't fight it a
POV WillowI awoke with a frantic jerk. I sat up in a panic and looked around. I was still in the room that Jake and Sam had me in before, my clothes were still on and I didn't feel pain anywhere. After I went through my checklist, I started to sort through my brain to figure out what had happened and what was going to happen. Livia! She was going to link Lee. Jake drugged me! I had to find Livia and make sure that she had gotten a hold of Lee and the others. I tried to link him myself but whatever they had drugged me with must have still been swimming in my bloodstream, making me too weak to do anything. I couldn't even contact Nox.I tried to stand and found myself wobbling and falling back on the bed just as the door opened. I looked up hoping to see Livia but was disappointed to see Jake instead. He rushed over to me with a look of concern."You shouldn't be up, Willow. The drugs will make you weak for another f
POV WillowI gasped and held onto Livia as the world swirled around. She held me tightly as everything went black for a second and then came back into laser focus. I looked into Livia's eyes and she smiled at me, gently.{There. That's better, right?} she asked me in the mind link. I sighed finally feeling strong again and nodded.{Nox?} I called.{I'm here. I'm okay.} she assured me and I felt relief wash over me. It was unnerving to not feel Nox. She was a part of me.Livia shut off the bath tap and gestured for me to undress and get into the water. I did
POV WillowI had just finished linking when the maids finished with my hair and make up."It's time for the dress, Luna" one of them said as another one brought the bad towards us.She unzipped the dress and my breath caught, then I cringed.Don't get me wrong, the dress was lovely. It was a real princess gown complete with a full, huge skirt and sparkling diamonds. It looked fit for Disney.I hated it. Every inch of it. It was light pink which just wasn't my color in any way, shape or form. I'm sure that there are tons of girls that would love this dress and look wonderful in it but I sure wasn't one of them. I looked over at Livia who shrugged."Maybe it will look better once you put it on." she suggested.I sighed and nodded.It didn't.If anything, it looked worse. I mean, I looked nice, maybe beautiful even, but I didn't look like me. I looked like a version of me that I was trying to avoid
5 years laterPOV Willow"I hate you so much! I can't believe I stayed with you! I should have never let you touch me! You will never touch me again." I screamed at Dean.He sighed and smiled back at me."I know. I'm an asshole." he agreed as he held my hand.I snarled as he pushed my hair back from my forehead and kissed me."I love you. You are doing great." he encouraged me as the pain started to subside.When it finally faded, I looked at him in horror."I'm so sorry. I didn't really mean it! Please don't leave me." I cried and he held me and soothed me.The doctors and nurses all chuckled at me."It's okay, baby. I understand. I know that you're in pain and scared. I'm not leaving, I'll never leave you. Don't worry about me at all. Just take care of you and getting this little one out into the world." he assured me."Rest until the next contraction." my nurse
POV DeanI put my arm around Willow and led everyone to the pack's ceremonial grounds. I grinned when I saw the rest of both the Moonstone and the Darkstar pack members already there. There was a hush as we neared. Alpha Zack, Luna Tracy, Devon and Lemon all walked up to the side where there was special seating for them as Luna Rose joined the other pack members.Livia, Lee, Liam, Sage, Dad, Mom, Willow and I all walked up to the stage. The four beta's sat in chairs as Willow and I stood up to the microphone. My parents stood behind us. While Dad was still our Alpha, he had decided that he wanted me to run this ceremony. He was planning to hand over the Alpha title to me in the next few months after the transition. I nodded at Willow to begin and she grinned. I returned her smile and held her hand as she looked out over the pack members."Welcome Darkstar and Moonstone packs. Your Alphas and future Alpha are blessed by the Moon Goddess to have y
POV WillowThe next morning I awoke in my mates arms. I stared up and him and sighed. This was the best feeling. He was wonderful and I couldn't ask for anything more. Tonight we were formally joining our packs and I was so excited. I was so pleased at how well everyone was already getting along. Lee and Livia were now best friends with Liam and Saga and we were all looking forward going out just the six of us. Dean woke up and grinned at me."Are you ready for tonight?" He asked and I nodded.He chuckled at my happy face and sat up, pulling me into his lap."I have a surprise for you. Go get dressed so I can give it to you." he said."Really? What is it?" I asked and he shook his head."Nope. You have to get up and dressed before I can give it too you. Go on, move that cute little ass." he ordered.I pouted and stood up. He rolled his eyes and lightly smacked my butt as I scampered to the closet. I grabbed some cloth
POV DeanI was true to my word and Willow and I spent the next few days in our bed. We had food delivered outside our door. It was the best. We slept together, ate together, bathed together. We talked about any and every thing we could think of. Of course, we fucked and made love all the time too. Lee and Livia were more than capable of watching over the pack for Willow while we were... busy. Livia was overjoyed at our new status, Lee was.... well, Lee tolerated it and didn't say anything. The next morning, we both discovered we were stronger than before. I felt more powerful, like I could fight a hundred wolves and not get tired. We didn't really try out our powers then though. We had more important matters to attend to.After a few days, it was time to go back to reality though I wasn't ready. I could have spent years alone with Willow like that and not gotten bored. She was always interesting to me. There was always something else to
Warning: graphic sex scene in this chapter!POV WillowI stared at Dean as he processed my words. His eyes bored into mine for a few minutes and I started to feel self doubt creep in. Maybe he didn't want to mark me anymore? Maybe he was finally seeing how much trouble I was and was sick of it? Maybe he saw what a mess I am?He gently brushed his hand against my cheek."Don't do that. Don't you dare doubt us now. I wasn't hesitating because I don't want to. I just wanted to make sure that you really wanted this. That you didn't feel pressured. I didn't want to do this and have you regret this." he explained and I relaxed and nodded.He didn't say another word as he picked me up bridal style and walked me up to my room. He walk in, shut and locked the door and then sat on the bed with me in his lap."I don't know if I can stop when I mark you, baby. And honestly, I don't want to. So I need to know, do y
POV DeanI looked at Willow in awe. I couldn't believe that she just accepted me. I had hoped that someday she would but I had never in my wildest dreams imagined that she would do it so soon. Maybe it was just because of all the turmoil and stress?Frantically, I searched her eyes for any hints that she felt pressured or forced but I didn't see that. All I saw was forgiveness and trust. "Do you mean it baby? Don't feel like you have to. I'm willing to wait." I whispered but she just smiled as I felt the magic around us and our bond became even stronger."I mean it. I know that you changed and I now understand why you did the things you did. I know that you learned from your mistakes and I know that we can have a happy future together. I can trust you now." she replied and I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders."You trusted me and listened to me through this whole Jake and Sam ordeal, even when I know it was killing you to do
POV WillowAs I asked Lee and Livia to be my beta's, I felt Dean tense. I knew that he wouldn't like this idea but it was my pack and I needed to have a beta couple that I could trust and right now, that was Livia and Lee. I also knew that it was going to be a bit painful for me to work with them so closely but I had to do what was best for my new pack and they were it, without a doubt. Livia already knew the ins and outs of the pack and she would be able to help advise us on how to operate and who to appoint where. Lee was great at planning and training. He was also a genius at tech. All things I lacked. Between the three of us, we had most of our bases covered.I turned to Devon and smiled."I'll accept the position of pack advisor for the Shadow pack if you will accept the same position for Moonstone?" I offer.He grinned and rushed over to me. He then picked me up in a hug and swung me around like he used to do w
POV DeanI stared at Alpha Zack with anticipation. Could he really help us? I had meant what I said to Willow earlier. There was no chance in hell that I was going to give her up now. We had already overcome so much. If she was willing to forgive me and move passed everything I had fucked up, I was going to fight tooth and nail to make sure that we ended up together. As we should be. I would literally do anything for her. I was even ready to give up my pack. My spirits fell when my Dad brought up the Council. He was right about them. There was no way that they were going to allow us to remain mates and be Alphas. There were a limited amount of Alpha's in the world and each pack needed one. Each Alpha was taught from an early age that it was their duty to produce a heir so the pack would have a new Alpha when the other one retired or passed away.It didn't matter what the sex of the child was as long as it was a first born child of an Alpha. For
POV WillowI knew that Dean was right. I also knew that my brain was playing tricks on me. My brain was a bully. I knew it but that didn't stop me from feeling the panic, guilt and fear though.He stared at me for a moment. His eyes glazed over and he sighed."Dad just linked me. Everyone is ready to meet in your new office. Your Mom wants to see you. Will you join us?" he asked me.I paused. I liked that he asked me and didn't order me like he and everyone else used to do. Finally I nodded and he seemed to relax a bit.He grabbed my hand and I didn't pull away as we walked back into the pack house. After asking one of the nearby Moonstone pack wolves for directions, we arrived at a large, wooden door. I wrinkled my nose at it. I was going to have to change some things around here if I stayed. All this overwhelming pretentiousness was going to have to go. It was irritating me to no end.Dean opened the door and I cring
