“This idea of yours is stupid! And you are even dumber than I thought if you think Zane is going to fall for it. He knows I'm not dead. He would feel it if I was. This," I point to my neck in frustration, "Tells him that.”

“He loves Addie. He was going to choose her as his mate.”

I feel my heart skip a beat but try to keep my face as unreadable as I could. Since when did I get jealous?

“Even so, he made a vow and I know Zane, he doesn’t give up until he gets what he wants. And if thinks I’m dead, he will want proof.”

Cara waves a hand at me “Yeah, yeah. Addie told me the same. I don't buy that bullshit.”

“Don’t you think if two people are telling you the same thing, it probably means they’re right?”

She rolls her green eyes at me and turns away, muttering something about me being so dramatic.

“What do you think he is going to do to you when he finds you are keeping me hostage?” I demand

“I’m reminding you who you are?”

“And I have already told you, you have the wrong person. Da

    WillowMy heart practically falls out of my ass. I guess on some level, I didn’t expect him to find me. Cara was ahead of his moves, constantly having me moved.Happy would be the wrong word, but I knew I felt safer around him.Zane’s onyx eyes stay on me as he tells Stevens to arrest Cara. Cara puts up a fight, screeching something about Zane making a mistake as I stay rooted to the bed.It takes Stevens all of thirty seconds to remove her from the house.“And put her with the other one.” Zane calls out as he steps towards me. My breath hitches in my throat. “Let’s get you home.”He removes the tray of food and frowns at my casted arm. The frown deepens when I pull back the sheet and he sees my leg.“You should have seen me a few days ago if you think this is bad.” In this light you couldn’t see the ugly yellow bruises that still littered my body.A growl rumbles through his chest. “You’ve gone back to not healing.”I shrug my shoulders because I still didn’t understand how my back h

    ZaneWhen I pull away, her caramel eyes hover on mine and her lips remain parted just a little. She seemed surprised by her own response more than what I had done.Her wide eyes thin to slits. “It doesn’t hurt.” She wiggles her fingers and then her toes. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.” She mutters again and her eyes shift to me. “Because of what you said before? About being true mates?”“Yes. But that doesn’t mean I want to test the theory.” I warm her. I didn't need her trying stupid shit just to see if she would heal.She tips her face down, trying to hide the tiny smile that lingered on her lips.“How did you find me? Cara was giving me something to stop you linking me.”“Your scent.”“You could still scent me?” She sounds surprised.“Your scent is stronger since I claimed you, little wolf. I’ve been everywhere that you were taken too.”Willow turns on her side as I take the seat, waiting for the doctor to come back. I could see how tired she still is. She probably hasn’t had a decent n

    WillowThe light comes in flashes. As I groan I hear Zane tell someone to dim the lights.“Better?” He appears in front of me and I nod.Somehow I had the best night's sleep ever and also the worst. My head ached, everything is bright.“I’m alive?”I hear Zane laugh, “Yes, you’ve just been in a really deep sleep.” His lips press against mine and I push him away. “Bad breath,” I mutter when I see him frown. “Why does my head hurt so much?”“The doctor says that the drugs you were being given can have that effect when they wear off. Give it a day or two and you will feel normal.”“Right.”“You are free to take her home, Zane.” The doctor smiles at me as I stare up at Zane. I wanted to know if he had killed Cara and Addie. The doctor leaves and Zane places some clothes on the bed. “They are still alive.” He tells me without making eye contact.I frown, I didn’t know how I felt about that, I wasn’t even sure if I would be happy they were killed.“You were going to claim Addie.” I speak

    WillowI had been back a couple of days and hadn’t asked anymore about Cara or Addie. I had kept myself to myself, spending time in the bedroom drawing, using my art to escape my messy mind. I would answer Zanes' questions, though I would never initiate the conversation. And oddly, he accepted it. He knew he had to wait until I was ready.I pause to look out the window. It’s pouring down and big sheets of lightning shoot across the sky. The weather had been like this the night we left Wintergreen.“Do you think it’s true?” I ask when I hear the door open. I had been replaying everything Cara had said to me about Wintergreen and even though I had already asked, I couldn’t help wondering if there is some truth to her words. It takes me a second to realise it’s not Zane that I can smell.Turning in my chair, I see Stevens. Zane talks to him so he must have an answer too. “Do you think Wintergreen is still thriving?”His dazzling blue eyes hover on me. “Zane knows another pack that is l

    Willow“No! It’s not like that Willow.” Addie pleads“So it just happens to be a coincidence that the one who kidnapped me also happens to be Zane’s ex?”“I know it looks bad.” She turns her head to the wall separating herself and Cara. “Cara, will you just say something!”Cara doesn’t move. She holds the same meditative position and almost looks bored by the conversation I was having with Addie.I had come across a lot of weird women. Especially in the auction house.Being kept a prisoner and knowing what is in store for you, turned many of the women into something different. Some lost it and were deemed too crazy. They were shot before making it on stage. Others, like me, accepted their fate because they had either put themselves into that situation to get out of another shitty one or because they saw it as the only way they got to live.I couldn’t work out which one Cara was. But I was definitely leaning towards crazy.“I want to speak to Zane.” Addie pleads.“Not possible.” Ash mu

    ZaneHarlow is waiting for me at the edge of his pack. Standing either side of him is a man who I assume is his Beta and his latest female interest. No other guards, not that I could see.I stop the car a few feet shy of him and while the woman takes a step back, both men keep their composure.“Zane.” Harlow offers his tattooed hand, “It’s been too long.”I take his hand and give it a good shake, he was one of the few Alpha’s in the country that I trusted. “Thanks for having me.”He introduces me to his Beta, Cato and then nods to the woman, “You don’t need to concern yourself with her name.”She looks pissed, but it just goes to show that she is nothing more than a bedroom companion for the night. Maybe she was hoping for more.“Any news?” I query. I knew he was sending some of his pack to investigate Wintergreen.“No, but they should be back soon.” He gestures for me to walk alongside him. “Though, we don’t really know what you are looking for.”“All I need to know is if they are op

    ZaneHe holds his hands up. “I wouldn’t, even if I wanted to.” Harlow mutters“Good, then we have a clear understanding.” I keep my eyes trained on him, looking for any sign of a lie. He had already made it clear that he had once been interested in my little wolf. But whether he will be a man of his word is another matter entirely.A brisk knock raps on the door and his Beta, Cato, moves to the door and lets in two large wolves.They look at me as though I’m the devil in disguise.“Well?” Harlow demands“The location you gave us has been abandoned.” The older one mutters. “And for some time.”“We found bodies that have been decaying for several years.” The younger one mutters. “Any signs of life?” I query. Decaying bodies could just be a decoy. It wouldn’t have been the first time something like that had been done.“Nothing.” The older one mutters. “We checked every house. We scouted the area just in case they got wind we were coming. It looks like it has been abandoned for several y

    Willow“You know you don’t need to spend all your time in your room.” Ash tells me from the door“I need to think things through.”“It wasn’t what you were expecting to hear, right?” He continues“You think my father was set up!” I keep my eyes on my artwork. “What more is there to discuss? Oh right, Zane thinks that too and neither one of you said anything to me until now when Zane is off gallivanting.”Ash laughs. “I would hardly call it gallivanting. He is just looking for answers, for you.”I know he couldn’t see my face, but I roll my eyes anyway“Did he go alone?” I ask, pressing my pencil a little too hard into the paper. I will regret it later.“No. He’s taken some of the pack with him. He isn’t stupid Willow. He is a man who knows exactly what he is doing and I can’t help noticing that you sound a little concerned for him.”“Technically, he is my mate.”I hear him move into the room. He takes the seat at Zane’s desk. “We might be wrong, Willow. But it wouldn’t be the first ti

    Zane“You already…” She scowls, sitting up, “You already planned to kill him?”“The very second, he decided to speak to me as though I was one of his subjects. I don’t care for people that don’t respect other people’s positions.”Willow’s caramel eyes widen, and a tinge of pink coats her cheeks. She didn’t care much about my Alpha title either, and so far, my little wolf was the only one I would allow to get away with such disregard.“Shall we go home?” I ask as her head leans against my shoulder once more.“Yes.” Her body relaxes into mine. I knew Willow thought that she was responsible for his death, but I wanted her to understand that he was always going to die. That even if she told me to let go of him, I wouldn’t have.Twenty minutes into the journey, Willow’s head rests on my lap. Her eyes are closed, her lips are parted, and her heartbeat is quiet as she sleeps. I let out a groan. Harlow’s news was not something I wanted to hear, nor did I expect what he told me.‘Do you want t

    WillowAsh hurries me through the house with his hand pressed to my lower back and a concerned look on his face. I could recognise his expressions better than Zane’s. He taps my lower back, “Keep walking, don’t stop.”If anyone but him or Zane tried to do that, I would have smacked them, but I’m guessing Zane had explicitly requested that Ash keep a hand on me at all times.As we walk through the house, I see Greyson wave a couple of men forward. One steps in front of us, taking the lead, while the other joins at the rear, following us as we move. It made me feel like I had some kind of power and that I must be protected at all costs, but do I really need that much protection?If only Layla could see me now. I know she would find the whole situation hilarious. Before the end, even on the darkest days, she managed to keep so many of us focusing on the good things.I’m guided out of a different door than the one we walked through to enter the house. It leads to a familiar hallway, one

    Zane“Why would you do this?” Willow challenges Saskia.“Annabella,” she sneers. “Drives me up the fucking wall. I’m happy to see her squirm. You know she has caused a lot of issues for others, right, not just you?”There is a tiny smirk at the corners of Willow’s lips as Saskia sits in the empty chair. She folds her long legs over each other and smiles at my mate.“I admit, I was surprised to see you, but what you don’t know is that it was the best surprise.” She glances at me. “I shouldn’t have said what I said about her being a half-breed. I think I was just thrown by the situation, and it’s clear from your Beta that you are happy.”“I am.” I grin at her, wondering how Stevens managed to pull this off so quickly and get Saskia to set Harlow up. Whatever he did, it seemed like Saskia was more than happy to help.“What did you do?” Willow asks.“Left my underwear in Harlow’s bed and made sure an Omega saw me leaving his room. For it to have kicked off this quickly, I assume she went

    Hey everyone. I hope you are well.I just wanted to give a little update for those that don't follow me on socials.I have the rest of The Alpha's Obsession ready to go, however, I am currently holding back from uploading it due to the huge amount of piracy issues I have surrounding my other ongoing book. And I'm sure you will understand that I do not want to give these people the satisfaction of taking anymore of my hard earned work. I'm really sorry, I know you are expecting it, and trust me when I say, no one is more upset than I am. I enjoy telling stories and these pirates are taking that away from me.All I can say is that I will upload when this piracy business has been sorted.Take care Taylor West.*please feel free to follow me on socials to be kept up to date*

    Hey guys, so I hate having to do this, but this book is currently on pause while I sort out a few things. I don't like updating the book so infrequently, so the plan is to get this book finished and then have it all uploaded fairly quickly rather than less than a few chapters a week.I hope you all understand.Thank you

    Willow“Of course not.” Harlow frowns. “I can’t expect you to forget something that changed your life.”I step back from him. “So what do you want from me?”“I miss you.”“You don’t even know me anymore. This,” I gesture at my dress, “Isn’t me! The fancy shoes, everything you see, it’s all put on for this night. Because I, was looking for something.”“What are you looking for?” He asks curiously“It doesn’t matter.” I turn away from him and practically crash into Zane.“Are you okay?” Zane scowls“I want to leave.”“Will?” Harlow mutters from behind me“It was a mistake coming here.” I tell Zane. “All their fucking judgy eyes on me the entire time. Whispers spreading like wildfire.” I spin around to stare at Harlow. “Is that why you wanted me to come? To remind me of what I lost? To show everyone that I’m still here. The half wolf, half human abomination?”“It wasn’t like that, Will. I just wanted you to see that I am changing things.”I gesture to the garden. “This isn’t changing thi

    WillowFor a moment, I felt like I was back on that stage. All eyes on me, whispers running through the crowd. At least none of them were thinking about stroking their cocks.I pause to take a deep breath, reminding myself that Zane had told me we could leave at any point if it became too much. But now I am here, I want to prove a point. That I wasn't running scared anymore.“Are you good?” Zane whispers in my earI nod and take a step forward.“Then let's get a drink to steady those nerves.” He glances down to his hand where my nails are firmly embedded in his skin.“Sorry,” I whisper, uncurling my fingers. Little bloody crescents are quick to heal. He smiles at me and presses his lips to my cheek. In the corner, I spot Harlow staring at me. He is deep in conversation with another man that I don’t recognise but his eyes are fixated on me.At the bar, Zane orders me a glass of wine and though I wasn’t a drinker, I glug that thing like my life depended on it.Zane raises a brow at me,

    Zane“Do you think he is trying to win her over?” Steven’s asks as he hands me a black tie“It would be a fucking mistake. He knows it would start a war and he and his pack wouldn’t survive that.”“Whatever feelings Willow once had for him have long gone.” He tells me, “She is mated to you, not him.”“She’s spoken to you about him, hasn’t she?”“Briefly. You already know there was something between them in the past, long before you came into her life. All I am confirming is that she has no interest in going back to him.”I hear footsteps shuffle across the carpet upstairs. Bailey is first to appear. A massive grin on her face. She hurries down the stairs towards us and turns to admire her own work as Willow steps forward.The ruby red dress is a stark contrast to her creamy skin, but nevertheless, it is beautiful. The bodice is perfectly fitted to her curves, cradling her breasts beautifully. It nips in tight at the waist then turns into free flowing fabric that covers her legs.Willo

    WillowI was grateful to get back to our bedroom. I sit at my desk with a leg pulled up and using the other one to rotate me back and forth. I’m still annoyed with myself that my body betrayed me, but I won’t lie, Zane certainly knew what he was doing. My pussy still throbbed from the repeated…. Catching sight of my reflection in the window, a smile is plastered to my face. Okay, it was more than enjoyable.I doodle absentmindedly, but my eyes keep moving to the note that is sitting on the corner of my desk. I had put it there when I first sat down, trying to decide if Zane was right. Was I prepared for the answers? Was I prepared for more bad news? How much worse could it get?Zanes' oak and maple scent gradually grows stronger until he flings the door open. It bounces off the wall with force as he enters the room. “You have been invited to a ball!”He drops the open envelope in front of me.“A ball?
