2025-03-03 23:00:37I’m jolted awake by the sound of a car in the morning, feeling absolutely out of it. My eyelids felt heavy, and my mouth felt full of cotton. I looked at my phone to check the time, and it was around 6 o’clock; not much time had passed since I fell back asleep out of exhaustion from my episode.
I heard the car door slam and realized that it was coming from the driveway, so I got out of bed and went to the window to see who that was.It was Dameon. He walked up to the house like someone with a purpose, his face serious like something was wrong. His eyes were glowing, like when I first saw his wolf in the woods.Curious, I left my room to the hall and stood at the top of the stairway, the shadows covering me. His knocks resounded, and sure enough, a tired-looking Ralph went to open the door. I tip-toed down the stairs to eavesdrop on their conversation from a spot where they couldn’t see me.“ Dameon?” Ralph asks, confused. Why are you here? It's the weekend, and you d

The next morning, I made up my mind to get out of bed and go to school, no longer moping around in my room. I was only making it worse by staying in my room all day with no social interaction.As I got ready, pulling on some black skinny jeans, my mind replayed the event of yesterday. How Dameon got so close to my face, his dark brows furrowed in some emotion I couldn’t place. He wasn’t acting like his usual self. Had he really been… concerned about me?I knew I was being stupid for even considering that. There was no way he would care for me. But when I remembered how it felt to be in his hands, how safe I felt against his chest, I wished it was true.But those are just silly thoughts. My friends were crazy enough to see him as a romantic prospect for me but I’m certainly not. I did my best to shake the thoughts of Dameon from my mind grab my bag and go downstairs.Ralph was kind enough to drive me to school today which I was really grateful for. I didn’t want to fa

Willow povAfter getting a lecture from Lia about the importance of keeping your phones on and about communication, I head to my first class. It was algebra, so it kind of sucks, but we just had to do a simple worksheet, so I just tried to get it done as quickly as possible. As I was finishing up with the last problem, I felt like someone was watching me so I looked up just to find a guy who was sitting a couple of decks away from me looking at me. When he saw that I had caught him, he quickly flashed me a sheepish smile, showing his perfectly aligned white teeth.I smiled back shyly, blushing a bit because he’s pretty cute. He has curly brown hair and caramel skin, and soft grey eyes ringed with long dark eyes. I don’t know why he was looking at me, but it was a nice change because attractive guys usually treat me like I was invincible, or like I’m an annoyance, in Dameon’s case. Gosh, did I just admit that Dameon is attractive.?Anyway, I think the guy's name is J

The bell interrupted my thoughts. I grab my things and walked out of the class to the hallway. I hate the hallways. The chatter of students is really overwhelmimg and people always bump into each other.“ Um, hey,” I hear someone say behind me, but I paid no heed to it because its was probably someone passing by who was talking to their friend.“Hi? Willow?” the voice continues, and I turned back and looked up with wide eyes at the alpha who approached me“ oh! I’m sorry, I didn’t know that you were talking to me!” I say, my cheeks burning up.Jake chuckles, looking kind of embarrassed as well. “No worries. You probably didn’t expect me to talk to you suddenly,”“it’s fine,” I smiled with reassurance. “What’s…up?” I felt kindof awkward. I didn’t want to make a bad impression to a popular guy, in case he choose to target me like Adam does.‘’ you must have noticed me staring at you earlier in class. I-I wasn’t trying to be weird or anything, I was just cu

I waited at the pick-off area after watching Lia and Brianna leave; I kept a lookout for Ralph's grey car. But instead, I see Dameon's sleek black car pulling up behind me. I get in, looking confused. “I thought Ralph was going to pick me up”?“ He’s busy with pack duties”“Okay,” we sit in awkward silence. I didn’t know what to say to him after what happened the last time we met. As I was trying to think of what to say, I spotted a bloody gash on his arms“ Oh my God, Dameon! You’re bleeding!” I gasp at the sight as I cover my mouth. The sight of blood made me nauseous.“ Thanks for letting me know; I had no idea,” he replied sarcastically as he droves, looking unfazed by his injury.“ How can you drive with that, aren’t you in pain”“ I had no idea that getting a little injury made someone an invalid”“ That not a little injury! Oh, that looks bad. We need to, we need to—” I grasp the dashboard, feeling a wave of nausea pass over me. I close my eyes shut, trying to stop my lunch fr

He smirks. “ can see the little gears in that pretty head of yours, but don’t worry I don’t think you’re the reason behind it,” I blush at his remarks. “ why? You don’t still think I’m a spy?” He shakes his head in amusement. “ No, you are just too naïve to be a spy” “ what?!” I cross my hand and pout in defense. “ I’m not that naïve” “ yes, you are. You fall to easily when people tease you.” “gosh, you are just like this Alpha at my school.” That seemed to catch his attention. “ An Alpha?” he asks his expression darkening I consider whether or not to tell him the event of the day but decided to anyway. “well, he said he wanted to be friend with me. Then tricks me that I had his name wrong. And he said it was because I was to fun to tease.” Dameon looked shocked, rubbing a hand over his face. “ seriously, I cant believe you. You are definitely too naïve” “ And you are definitely wrong”

Chapter 18What I did expect was the uncomfortable silence that followed after I spoke. Dameon looks at the cup in his arms with a plank expression as Lucien looks from his son to me worriedly.“That’s great, Willow.” Ralph says, “ I guess you are at that age now where you want to know more about nature.”“ what do you guys know about mates?” I hoped I had not overstepped. I don’t know why they’re acting like this. Did I say something wrong?.Ralph looks at me hesitantly, glancing at Dameon who didn’t look too happy. “ well mates_”“ mates are a complete sham,” he interjects, scowling,” a stupid waste of time to spend dreaming about”I felt something break inside me as soon as the words left his mouth like I was hoping that he would say anything else but that.“ Dameon,” Ralph said with a warning in his voice“ what? It's not a lie” he continues unfazed by his father’s glare. “ but I guess someone who spends their time with their head in the cloud wouldn’t understand” he continues sta

Chapter 19The next day and the next day after, Dameon and I gave each other the silent treatment. When he was driving me to school or back, I always kept my head. And when we did talk, his voice was cold and emotionless. More than being angry, it made me really sad.I know that I brought up something he didn’t like but do I really deserve this? I wasn’t trying to offend him, I was just curious. He was the one who lashed out and, in turn, made me lash out. I was getting tired of him acting like this after a few days of it.It was the same as usual this morning as he was driving to school. I was surprised he was still taking me to school. His relationship with Ralp was rocky b, but I guess he won't disobey him to a degree.As I was still receiving the cold shoulder, I found myself signing multiple times, and I could tell that it was getting on his nerves,s, so I kept doing it. It was not long before he finally snapped.“ what fucking is it”?” he snarls, turning to

Hey, watch your mouth, bitch,” Adam snaps. “ and pick up that pencil for me,” he says, pointing to the yellow pencil he just dropped.“What?” I looked at him like he had lost his mind.“ I said pick it up” he demandsI almost laugh at the audacity of his request. I summoned all the courage in me for my response, taking Lia's advice to stand up for oneself, and I was tired of taking his shit any longer.“ No.”He raises his eyebrows in shock, surprised that someone disobeyed him. “ what did you just say to me?”“ I said no! I didn’t stutter,” I said, glaring at him. Then I flip him off.I was shaking as adrenaline coursed through me, the only that was powering me at that point. I couldn’t believe that I stood up to Adam. I had never flipped someone off like that in all my years of living.The barely restrained rage on his face made me realize that I had made a grave mistake,I rushed out of class as soon as the bell rang. I managed to see my friend

It started one day randomly, the day the topic of crushes came up while Lia, Brianna, and I were hanging out at Lia's place.“ Okay guys, I need your opinion. So, Luke is pretty cute, don't you think?” Lia pulls up a picture from the guy's Instagram on her phone, showing me.“ He is. You guys will be cute together,” I agreed. “ I feel that he likes you,”“ you think?” she asked excitedly, jiggling her phone in her hands. “ shit! I liked it! And it was from five weeks ago!” she desperately taps her phone for a few seconds.“What about you, Willow,” Brianna asked me, a strange look on her face. Is she asking me if? Do I have a crush on someone? I mean, there is no denying that I'm attracted to it. A certain somebody, but I don't know what we are.“I don't know, really,”“ well,.I know someone who has a big crush on you.“Who?” Brianna asked looking anxious“ I thought it was pretty obvious, Jake of course!”“Jake?” I questioned “ Yeah,

I looked at my phone, hoping to see a text from Dameon, but there was still nothing. I was kind of disappointed. I put the phone down, telling myself not to get my hopes high, and left to take a shower.When I got out of the shower, I decided to watch some movies before bed. As I was about to start the movie, I heard my phone ding with a message. I looked at it, lightening up as I stared at the contact name on the screen. Dameon: come outsideI wasted no time putting on my shoes and rushed downstairs, my heart pounding in my chest.I couldn't believe he came! I was nearly floating with happiness. I opened the door to see him standing by the porch steps, with his leather jacket and the familiar feeling of butterflies exploding in my stomach.“ You came,” I said excitedly “ I didn't forget,” he gave a small smirk, pulling something out of his pocket. A golden bracelet dangles in his hands.“ I uh, didn't have time to wrap it up, but…I made this for you,”

“ My pleasure, let me get your present,” he left the room for a second, coming back with a box wrapped in pink.“Oh, you did not have to,” I said, trying to hold back my tears.“ Open it,” he said, encouraging me.So I did, pulling the wrapping off and bringing out a dark blue hoodie from Forever 21 that I literally wanted for a while now. “ Oh my gosh! Ho-how did you know?”He looked a bit sheepish, scratching the back of his head. “ I may have had a little help from your friends.”I immediately put it on, seeing that it fits perfectly. I spin in a circle for him, “ it fits perfectly!” I exclaimedI hugged him. “ Thank you, this is the best gift ever.”“ I'm so glad you like it, I was scared that I got you the wrong size.We finished breakfast happily, talking about our week, this was the first time in weeks I was genuinely happy. As we were doing the dishes, I suddenly heard a car honking outside. I ran to the porch to see who it was, I giggled as

When I woke up to an empty bed, I felt my heart drop, thinking that I dreamt it all up. I quickly got out of bed, spotting a little note on my nightstand. The writing on it was messy; it read: good morning sweetie, had a morning call, will see you later, with a funny face drawn beside it. I found myself smiling as I pulled out my phone to text him, taking a picture of the note and sending it to him.Me: you could have just texted meAlmost immediately he replies Dameon: I could have, but I guessed you would love the note.Me: I do I added a heart emoji to my message, giggling. I felt like I was floating, I loved what I was feeling. Then I remembered that I had to go back to school as my suspension had ended. I quickly got ready for school.I wore a knitted striped sweater with jeans, humming to myself as I got ready.School was the usual whispers and stares, just that this time, it wasn't about what Felix did to me, but about what I did to Adam.

I felt my stomach drop as I followed his gaze, “Oh, th- this are–” I tore myself from his embrace, rushing over to the table to grab them, blocking his view from them. I scooped them from the table so that I could put them somewhere else where he wouldn't see them, but one of the bottles fell and loudly clattered to the floor.I felt my face get hot as I bent to pick it up, “ shit, can this day get any worse,” I muttered under my breath.But then Dameon is next to me; he gently grabs my arm, retraining me from picking the bottle up, “Willow, stop,” he said.“ But. I- I do- don't want you to–” My voice trembled, and I was mortified as I started sobbing.“ Hey, Hey, it's going to be okay,” he said as he pulled me off the floor, putting his arms around my waist and knees as he lifted me up, carrying me to the bed. “ what going on?” he asked as he set me down on the bed, sitting down beside me before bringing me into his embrace.The tenderness and questions made me

During one of my depressive episodes, Ralph came to see me after I had rejected the third meal of the day refusing to eat anything.“ Why aren't you eating?” He asked me as I lay in bed turning my face away from him“ cause I'm not hungry,”“ You are a growing teenager and you need all the nutrients you can get. You need to eat,”I did not reply. He sighs at my silence, clearly already fed up with my attitude. “ You need to see a doctor, Willow. This behavior…its-its not normal,”I curl into myself and tighten my arms around myself. The thought of leaving the comfort of my room for some stranger to evaluate me sounded terrible. Does he think I'm crazy? Is that why he wants me to see some shrink?I turned to look at him, “ you think that I am not normal?”“ No! No, that is not what I meant.” He tried to explain, “You need help, Willow, I– I just want you to get better, and I don't think I am the right person to help to do that.”I hated the way he was speaking to me. Like I was some

I almost thought that he wasn't going to say anything until we got inside that house. I realized that Dameon was also there, sitting on the sofa. “ Dameon, I thought I asked double to go home,” Ralph's voice was on the edge.“What happened?” Dameon asked as he ignored him looking past him, his eyes reaching me.Ralph shakes his head in growing irritation, turning back to me. “ why did you do that, Willow? Turning to violence is unlike you. I mean, I would expect it from Dameon but not from you.”I wanted to hide as he raised his voice at me. “ I-I didn't mean to!” I said, trying to defend myself. “ He was spreading rumors around and just saying stuff a- and–”He did not let me finish before cutting me off“ Did he throw the first punch?”“ No, but he–”I was already getting walked up that he wasn't letting me defend myself,“ Then why the hell did you do it?!” He asked raising his voice more, he looked furious “ He upset me and he was spreading

Adam's friend looked alarmed, and he quickly retreated down the stairs and out of sight, but not before mumbling that he would see Adam later. Adam just crossed his arms giving me a condescending smile. “ You know eavesdropping isn't classy. But I guess, what do you expect from a slut”“ Don't you dare call me that, your brother assaulted me!” “Assaulted you! You were asking for it, with what you wore to the game. That's right I saw you dressed all pretty” I thought back to what I wore to the game, I had worn a crop top and jeans. But I knew it didn't matter what I wore, he would have come after me no matter what I had worn. “ You are very disgusting, you and your brother,” I snapped back. “ And I hope he never wakes up from that coma!”I watched as he went red from anger “Watch your mouth, you little bitch.” He growled as he approached me. Before I could move away, he grabbed me, pulling me towards him. I flinch at the feeling, remembering how his brother had grabbed me that night.

“Have you had any sleep, Dameon?”I asked, caressing his cheek, tracing the eye bags that were underneath his eyes. “ you need to sleep.”His jaws clenched, “ I couldn't sleep, not after what he did to you.”“I am okay now.” I tried to reason with him.“ No, you not,” he took in a deep breath, “look at what he did to you, look at what he did to your face,” he growled, “ and him trying to force himself on you- I should have killed that bastard, fuck!”“ No Damoen!, the beating you gave him was enough,” I said, warning him, as his eyes started to glow, giving way to his wolf side. I held his hands trying to calm him down. I just wanted to get the day over with and forget about the night event.“ It's really over now, okay?” I whispered as our forehead touched.He clenched his fists as we looked at each other, and I saw the effort he was using to hold himself back from storming out of my room to finish what he had started with Felix. “ I will make sure he will ne
