Willow's POV
A few hours later...
Currently, Maddox and I are in the bedroom with me laying stretched out on the bed, surprised with how good I feel while Maddox is at the end of the bed, staring down at his phone. I watch him contently, thinking he's just answering a few business emails, but his whole entire mood changes when I witness him dragging his hand through his thick mane followed by the quick murmuring of, "shit! No no no no no!"
I push myself up from the bed, ignoring the slight pang in my head as I do so. I'm not sure if it's the fact that I was just turned or the whole pregnancy thing screwing with as per usual.
"What's wrong," I whisper out, knowing that the kids were put to sleep only a few moments ago. I reach out and place my hand over his shoulder, frowning down at his phone. And as soon as I see it, I can feel the same panic within me as I heard in his voice.
The article on his phone rea
Maddox’s POV“What the hell are you doing here,” I growl, pulling Willow and the kids behind me as I step up, facing Elise daringly as she floats in the sky like some sort of space junk, because that’s what she is: garbage.Elise chuckles wildly, slowly landing on the ground only a few feet away from me and my family. Willow clings tightly to the back of my shirt and the kids pull closer too, tugging themselves around her legs.“What do you think I’m doing here?” She retorts, a playful grin appearing on that, now that I can see, stupidly ugly face of hers. There’s no other words to describe it, really, other than just disgusting.I place a hand behind my back, rubbing Willow’s arm gently to reassure her that everything will be okay. “Don’t worry, Angel,” I w
Willow’s POV“My Lady, are you still with us?”“Willow, Princess Willow, can you hear us?”The words of what I think must be guards, echo through my head over and over. I want to wake up and tell them, yes, I’m still here, don’t worry about me and just go look after Maddox, but I can’t open my eyes. My body will simply not let me.And as the words become quieter and quieter with each passing moment, I just hope to God that my babies are okay and that at least Maddox will wake up out of this…A week later…“We should wake her up, her body is fully recovered, and besides, she’s been in and out of consciousness already, I think she can handle if we withdraw from the dosages.”There’s a sigh. “You’re probably right. Her injuries were minor,
Willows POV“Willow, Baby, is that you?”Instant relief washes over me when his annoyed voice goes soft at the sight of me. Maybe he isn’t mad, he’s probably just tired.There, a few feet off from the door lays Maddox in this hospital suite, similar to mine but a little bit bigger and fancier to accommodate some guards. They were here when we got here, but left when I entered to give us some privacy.“I’ll leave you two be,” Lilith quietly tells us, following the guards the same way out quickly.Forcing a smile on my face, trying to pretend that I’m completely fine, I slowly make my way over to the bed and sit at the end of it.“What’re you doing all the way back there, eh? Come here,” he ushers me closer, weak and tired grin upon his still handsome
Maddox's POVI stand tall, like a tower over Willow has her trembling hands finds the bottom of my hoodie, beginning to carefully pull it over my body.I love how careful and gentle she's being... She thinks that with any wrong move, she'll hurt me!Tossing the hoodie aside, she looks down at my joggers, her face going red with embarassment because no matter how many times we've had sex and seen each other naked, she still gets so flustered every time she undresses me.I smile, watching her guide her hands over the waist bands. Once my pants have dropped to the ground, I'm left in nothing but a pair of boxers.She sucks in a shaky breath and wraps soft fingers around this waist band, unsure of what to do as if she hasn't practically torn off my underwears more than just once."I-is this okay...?" she murmurs, gazing down at my boxers.Of course, Love. In fact, why don't you join me in the tub too and w
Willow’s POVA few months later…“Mommy, can you pass me dat toy pwease?”“Mama? Are you listening?”“Mom mom mom mom mom…”Tugs at my arms and legs, screaming in my ears, and the clattering of toys are all I hear. I’m watching both Flynn and Ella bicker back and forth, their words barley audible my brain is so mush. It sounds as though they’re arguing about me because every other word I catch on to is either “Mommy” or “Ma”.Shaking my head awake, I sigh out, rubbing my eyes to awake me from the unrealistic thoughts going through my head.Maybe if I hadn’t gone back to help Maddox and just stayed to watch my babies, would we almost be a family of five? I mean, what I did was completely unnecessary and I only ended up killing my baby from my action. If I had gone with Ella and Flynn and went to see a doctor,
Maddox's POVWith her entire body, she leans into me, pressing her lips so forcefully into mine that we end upfalling back into the bed. She locks her hips around me, pressing me into the bed with her weight and sudden surge of strength I never knew that she had.Taking my hand, I drag my thumb against her neck, slightly pulling away from her warm and divine lips. “What’s going on with you, Willow?” I ask, looking up into her desperate eyes that look more than disappointed because I pulled away from our steamy kiss.She sits back, letting me sit up too. “I’m sorry,” she utters and swings her leg off of me, rolling over beside me so she’s no longer on top of me.Fuck, Maddox! You really fucked up the mood this time. You were about to get laid for the first time in months.No, I need to thi
Willow’s POVI lay my head over top of Maddox’s chest as I finish for, what must be, the sixth time in a row the past three hours we’ve been up here.That’s the thing about vampires. They’ve got so much energy (especially for this) that they don’t know when to stop. It’s usually only when they can tell their partner can’t handle anymore and I’m just about there right now.It took so incredibly long because I couldn’t bare to keep my moans and groans in or stop from squirming from all the pleasure.Ugh, he only ever makes me stay still because he knows I won’t, so then he gets to fuck me as long as he wants! Now thanks to him, my legs are shaking and in between them feel no better. In fact, I can nearly feel either.Maddox chuckles at me as I bring my hands to his chest, letting out a yawn. “Was the last round too
Willow’s POVI just stare down at the envelope, looking over my name that’s spelled out in such bold lettering I swear that this is their way of screaming at me over a piece of paper.Why do they even have reason to be angry at me? I don’t know what I’ve ever done to make them upset for god sake!As I’m about to open it, it’s suddenly snatched right out of my hands by Maddox himself who gives me a frazzled look, not quite understanding why I haven’t yet opened it.He begins to rip the envelope open carefully, being sure that he doesn’t rip anything inside of it. “It’s probably just some stupid letter about how the kids haven’t yet been put in training…” and he mumbles on and on, but I don’t even care to listen because why would it be about the kids if it was addressed just to me? If it had anything to do with Ella or Flynn, Maddox would’ve received
Willow’s POV“Where are we going?” I finally ask after letting Maddox carry me like some broken object down the hall, not even the least bit bothered when a guard or a maid passes by, shock quite evident on their faces when they lay eyes on the whole situation going on here.He doesn’t answer my question, though, and just continues to hold me against him so I don’t try to flee.I let my head flop back in exhaustion from barely getting a damn word out of this man. “Just let me down for God's sake!” I push on his broad chest, and he finally lets me down on the ground. I straighten myself out, shaking my head in disbelief, and I begin walking away from him, back towards the bedroom. “I walk you know. And I can also stay very cozy in that bed alone, so I’m going back and you can do what
Hey guys!This is the second last chapter of this book so I’ve decided that when it ends, you can vote whether or not there should be a second book in the reviews. Also, I’ve included some backstory to Maddox’s family with the new doctor that has been added recently and will be in the next book if there is one. Anyways, enjoy! Maddox’s POV “What?” Williamson shoots his head up after fluffing a pillow underneath the arm she’s receiving blood from. He sighs and storms over to me, snatching all four tests out of my hand. He may be half my height and weight, but this man is the last person I will ever argue against; he’s scarier than my father most times. I see the negative one first, giving me this strange, ‘are-you-stupid?’ Look before I motion for him to look further, then he sees the other three which are all positive.
Willow’s POVI’m sitting on the edge of this infamous bathtub, impatiently waiting for the water to reach the desired point as I also anticipate the results of all four tests lined up on the counter.I’ve decided that if the tests are negative, I’m going down in this water with the help of whatever potion shit Maddox keeps here in this medicine cabinet and some of my old razors which I’ve already begun to pry apart.Before preparing for all this, I made sure that no one was in the other room by continuously calling out for help. I know someone would’ve responded- especially Maddox if he were here. Knowing him he would likely just tell me to do what I was told then threaten to inflict some sort of cruel punishment on me.Fuck. That scar in my bac
WIllow’s POVA few weeks later…Misery. Absolute misery. Nothing but misery and pain down here in this cell with no one to speak to but the occasional rat that will scurry by me, searching for any bits of food I’ve left because I felt too sick to eat the disaster they give me on a plate.All my life is at this point is an endless loop-hole; everything goes spiraling downhill, then the next I’m too in love or happy to even see the consequences that there are to come with having emotion like that. Then, everything just repeats and repeats, but in a worse manner every single time.I should’ve known when Maddox brought the kids in after I found him sleeping next to me that morning that shit was going to hit the fan because Maddox had a plan; Maddox always has a plan and I should know that.
Willow’s POVIn the morning….Last night was the best night I’ve had in weeks so far, even if Maddox slept in the same bed as me just so we could put on a show for the twins so that they won’t have any suspicions with our relationship. I guess they’re nearly three, but really, in reality, they’re very smart for their age.I’m predicting that Flynn is going to make a good ruler with his father with his ‘political’ views one day and Ella will end up at the top of her class. And maybe, just maybe, I can convince Maddox to let her go to one of prestigious universities in Nitraville or somewhere in the dark realm.Out of the two of them, I’m really not sure who will rule yet. It is too early to tell their real personalities, even if they become more and more prevalent everyday. Things and interests can change, especially at an ag
Willow’s POVWhere the hell did he even go? It’s not like I was wrong or anything because seriously, if I’m their mother, should I not be able to see them? They’re so young, though, so will they even care that I’m gone? Maybe all I was to them was another caring person towards them who fed them with my own body for a year handmade sure they got everything they needed. But that’s all for Maddox now, isn’t it? I’m just here now to produce more children for him so I don’t get my neck tied up in a noose and be hung in front of the entire kingdom.I’m beginning to think that the noose may just be the best option now. All I want to do is rip these bandages off of my skin, open up my wound, and let myself die from infection and blood loss.The pain is too much to bare now. I’ve lost every go
Maddox’s POVI slam the notebook shut between my tensed up fists and toss it to the ground, too angry to even look in Willow’s now hurt and tearing-up eyes.“You should know by now that after having been married for nearly four years now that I’m not fucking stupid when it comes to you trying to run away from me. This would’ve the what… FOURTH time you’ve tried to escape, and this time you even left your own two children behind with nothing but a stupid love letter to them that they can only read when they’re older!” I bellow, pacing up and down the room, wanting nothing more than to grab my belt that’s laying on the washroom floor and whip her back until she’s begging me for my forgiveness.“For christ sake, Willow, they’re only three years old! Do you really think that
Willow’s POVA week later…Maybe the wolf coming after me wasn’t such a bad thing… maybe, just maybe, it was bette than that to happen than being chased by Maddox until he became so angry with me that I would end up being a meal.Yes, I went through pain with that stupid wolf having almost smashed my arm in half, nearly leaving half of it on the ground, but it was so much less pain than what Maddox has been putting me through these past three years- even more now that I think about it. The kids are going to be three soon.Oh no… I’m going to miss their birthday, aren’t I?Well, I hope my death doesn’t disturb that too much. The last thing I want if for my babies to be sad on their big third birthday.Fuck, maybe I should’ve postponed my exit to a little later.Well, whatever. What’s done is don
Maddox’s POVWhat can possibly be taking her so long? She said she was just cleaning up, and I don’t really mind if the bedroom is messy because God knows how much worse I’m about to make it.I knock again, calling out her name again. “Willow?” I holler through the door, wrapping my fist against the wooden door again, and place my ear against it.I hear nothing. Usually it’s very obvious she’s in here with all the cleaning and cooking she’s usually doing to keep herself busy.Why isn’t she answering? She always answers me.I keep my head placed against the door, just listening for even the slightest movement. Well, that’s until I hear a very distinct splash from outside.“That’s it,” I mutter, pulling th
