Iris quickly dialed Japh. "Yes?" Japh picked in two rings. "Can you see Willow?" She panicked. "What do you mean? What happened?" He made a quick scan of the restaurant. "I think something happened. I was talking to her... then… then she suddenly screamed for help and… and her voice was muffled" Iris worriedly explained. "She isn't with Rowan. I'm just outside the restaurant. I think she left for the restroom earlier" Japh walked into the restaurant. "I'll ask Rowan" He ended the call. "Japh! What are you doing here?" Rowan smiled up at him. "Where's Willow?" Japh quickly asked. "Restroom" Rowan pointed and Japh quickly walked in the direction. "Sir, you cannot be in here!" A lady shouted at him. He picked up Willow's phone from the floor and quickly rushed out. "She is missing" Japh said to Rowan who followed him out. "Missing? How? She just went to the restroom" Rowan became worried. "I'm screwed" Japh sighed. "It's not your fault. I'll explain it to Jordan" "You don'
Jordan continuously tapped his pen aggressively on the table.Click. Click. Click. Click.He threw the pen away."This can't be happening" He muttered."Maybe it's a coincidence" Japh said to him."This can't be a coincidence" He stood up. "How is it even possible? I saw his body!" Jordan breathed."They are definitely his men," Star said with a nod. "But how did he survive?""Unless someone else is responsible for this. Playing with our heads" Jordan sat back."I don't think anyone can just decide to play such a stunt. We are the strongest in this region" Star replied."Unless someone else is taking revenge" Japh suggested."True, but who would?" Star wondered."And why target Willow?" Jordan added."Maybe because…""No! I don't think that's the reason. Whatever vendetta we had, it was only between us" Jordan stood up again. "Why is he attacking her!?" He angrily hit the table."Calm down," Japh told him. "You should have seen yourself back there. You completely froze""For a moment
(Jordan's POV)I knew.The first time she transformed into her wolf by the river, I knew she was my mate.But she didn't.I waited. Eagerly.I really did. But nothing.At first, I thought she didn't know what it meant but with time, I knew she didn't feel it.Her wolf desperately called out for me while my wolf frustratingly kept growling..'Mate''Mate'I wondered what I did to the moon goddess to be in such a difficult situation.How can I make her my luna when she doesn't even know she's mine?It makes me angry because as long as she doesn't feel what I felt, she is a free woman.I badly wanted to pin her down and put that forever sign on her neck but I can't forcefully mark her and it kills me.I would have never guessed that she is my mate.Watching her transform into the most beautiful wolf I've ever seen by the river was real torture because her wolf was calling out to me and she had no clue.Japh quietly looked at me. He waited for me to construct a sentence."She's the one,"
(Jordan's POV)I wasn't surprised that she was resisting but she really needs to leave."I didn't give you an option" I said."I'm making one" She angrily walked to her bed."Leviathan is out for me" I stated, walking to her balcony and she followed."Who's Leviathan?" She asked behind me."Someone you don't want to know. He is very dangerous and you need to get out of here. Go back to New Jersey. It's safer" I turned to her."If he is out for you, then why are you kicking me out?" She walked past me."Because he is using you to get to me""And you care?""I care about my pack and I won't see you get hurt and allow it. That's why you need to leave" I explained."I'm not leaving you," She said.She reminded me of Genzzi. Always stubborn and persistent.For some reason, the worry and care I heard in her voice satisfied me.I wanted to hold her tightly and kiss her passionately. Make her mine and make sure she never forgets. "You don't have to worry about me. You should worry about your
Everything became peaceful and life wasn't as complicated as before.But the simple life she now lives was lonely and frustratingly depressing.This is what he wanted, right?She never wanted to leave him but he kicked her out.She would toss herself at night in bed, drink a gallon of coffee and watch the moonlight but still wasn't able to get him out of her mind.What about the attacks?Is he still in danger?Picking up her phone, she dialed Japh.He stopped picking her calls ever since she left the pack house probably because Jordan ordered him not to.She angrily threw the phone on the bed."Ow!" Iris threw the phone back."Ouch!" Willow pushed her off the bed with her legs."Ah!" Iris shouted. "What's wrong with you!?" She stood up."Sorry!""Are you done packing?" Iris asked, adjusting her baseball cap."I don't feel good about this," Willow sadly said."I thought you said he isn't your type?" Iris sat beside her."We've talked about this" Willow rolled her eyes."I know you like
"I'm so sorry but I just can't" Willow gave him an apologetic look.Rowan asked her to be his girlfriend but deep down she knew it was impossible because she still wasn't over what happened with Jordan."How can I convince you?" He held her hand."You can't""You love someone else?" He moved away from her."I don't know but I just don't want to hurt you. I'm not ready for this" She replied."Can you just try since you're not sure about your feelings?" He pleaded."I'm sorry" She shook her head.He raked his fingers through his hair and briefly looked at her."Can we have dinner tomorrow?" He asked."I'm busy tomorrow but I'll be free the next" She smiled.."Okay. Thank you…""Willow" A familiar voice called.Willow took her eyes off Rowan to the door."Japh!" Willow screamed and ran to him jumping into his arms."Hello. Nice to see you too!" He laughed."The gall of you to show up after completely ignoring me!" She punched him."You know why!" His eyes settled on Rowan."Japh" Rowan s
Willow spread her hands as the breeze loving danced to the melody of the wind which occasionally caressed her arms and neck.Her hair gracefully played in harmony with the wind."Is this really necessary?" Rowan chuckled, adoringly looking at her."Did I complain about dinner?" She closed her eyes and took a deep breath."You said you loved it!""Would you like it if I complained? I had to make you feel good because you put your efforts into the whole thing" She smiled."You didn't let me take you to nice restaurant" "That's just corny besides, you claimed you can cook" "I can""I wanted to see for myself," She shrugged."And what do you think?" He stepped in front of her."I'll give you a six" She smiled."And don't I deserve some kinda reward?""What do you want?""You know exactly"Slow laughed and kissed him on the cheek."Really? That's what I get for cooking for you and walking you back home? I literally left my comfortable Mercedes" He pouted his lips.She kissed his jaw."Ha
She had one last thing to take care of.This was the trip she dreaded.Going back to the place that held everything she tried to forget in the past six months.But this was different.Because her purpose has changed.She is going to confront something bigger than her. Something that might change her life for good.Whatever answers she gets today will determine the direction her life is going to take.A single information holds the capacity to twist your fate but it's left to you to mold it. Either you take charge or your fate will make you dance to its tone.Parking her Porsche in the driveway, Willow took a deep breath before hitting her knuckles on the door."I'm coming!" Terra shouted.Willow smiled because of the joy she heard in her mother's voice.She sounded happy and energetic. Just like old times."Willow!" Terra tightly hugged her daughter.No tears, okay."Hey mum" She kissed her mother on the cheeks."How are you? I thought you'll never stop by. How's Iris? Stella was just
(Willow's POV)"Hello" A deep masculine voice knocked me out of my deep thoughts."S-sorry" I stammered. Thank God it wasn't my boss.I adjusted myself in the seat and looked up at the fine man staring down at me."Are you okay?" He asked in the sweetest voice."Y-yeah" I found myself stammering again. What is wrong with you Willow?"I was just distracted, please, let me have your items" I quickly changed the topic.He gave me a small smile and emptied his shopping basket on the counter and I did my job as the sales lady.The supermarket I work at is the biggest in the suburb so I get good pay."You look pale, are you sure you're okay?" He asked again.Dude, mind your business, pay up and get the fuck out."I'm good" I tried so hard to smile back. "Cash or card?"Regardless of the extra make up I had on to hide my pale skin, he noticed!I do so well to wear baggy clothes most times to hide my skinny body."Card" He gave me his card but it was double. I looked up at him in confusion
"Hey little sis!" Leviathan smiled at a poor miserably looking Willow, who was tied to a huge tree in a strange mist forest.Blood dripped from her nose and mouth to soak her white dirty and crumbled up shirt."H-how.." She looked around and spotted Terra not to far from her."Mum!" She called with all the might in her."Shh" Leviathan smirked."What are you doing with my mother!?" Willow cried.She looked over to Terra who was on her knees, wrapped in chains."I swear to you, you'll regret this!" Willow angrily said."But this isn't my fault!" He deeply laughed. "You have yourself to blame" He walked over to her mother and lifted her chin to look her in the eyes."Let her go!" Willow shouted."She's really pretty" He looked back at Willow, who's eyes were filled with furry."I warned you Willow. I really did. I told you not get involved. I begged you to let me handle it with Jordan" He slowly walked back to her."W-what?" She looked confused as tears dripped down her face."I told yo
Jordan brought out a tray of pies from the oven and quickly threw the mittens on the counter in his huge kitchen at the colony. He set one in front of Willow on the island in the kitchen. "It's hot" He warned removing the apron he had on. "I like it hot" She gave him a weak smile and picked a fork. He sat opposite her. Willow looked skinny and pale. Her lips are now purplish and her pupils turned blood red. "Why are you looking at me like that?" She let out a dry cough. She was so skinny that her collarbones were very much visible and so were her ribs. "Nothing, you're beautiful" He smiled. She has been living with him in his house for a month now and her recovery is very slow. "Don't flatter me" She chuckled while picking up a mirror. "I look terrible. My mum will kill me" "You look the same to me" He shrugged. "My eyes are red now. I look like a skeleton with a single layer of skin. And I have this annoying urge for blood. Am I still a werewolf?" She sadly asked. "Yes, of c
Jordan growled in pain as he tried to move back but her grip was too tight. Japh quickly kicked the door open. "Jordan!" He worriedly called. "Get the doctor, Star" He commanded and tried to free Jordan from her grip. A doctor rushed in and immediately sedated her. "You need to get that check immediately" The doctor ordered pointing at Jordan's wrist as more nurses rushed in. "I'm fine" He looked at Willow. She is sleeping again. He hated it. She needs to be awake. Japh dragged him out of the room. "She opened her eyes" He said to Star and Japh as the doctor attended to his wound. "She looked me in the eyes" He smiled. "For ten seconds" "How is that even possible?" Japh paced around. "I don't know, I don't care! All that matters is that she is alive" Jordan replied. "This can be a bad thing. Claudia bit her" Star sighed. "She might be a threat" "No she isn't," Jordan sternly said. "She bit you," Japh reminded. "We don't know how dangerous she is now" "It's a normal reactio
"She's dead. We lost her" "What!?" Japh exclaimed. "No, that's no right" "What do you mean!?" Star frowned. "You can't be serious" "We couldn't get the venom completely out of her because it has completely invaded her bloodstream. I'm sorry" The doctor walked away. She's dead. We lost her. It kept on echoing in his head. He took a shocking step backwards. "Jordan" He heard Japh's voice but it sounded like he was under water. He could hear his wolf whimpering in agony. Jordan slumped back into his seat. He couldn't believe it. He didn't want to. Just like that, he lost her. Then suddenly, anger boiled in him. All he saw was red. Leviathan took everything from him! He killed Genzzi and now, Willow. Star walked into Willow's ward. She laid on the table in blood as the nurses cleaned her up. She looked limp, pale and dead. "Oh Willow," Star said sadly. "Everyone get out" Jordan suddenly barged in. "Get out!" He growled and walked to her body. Star slowly closed the door
Claudia quickly entered the cell and held Willow by the throat. "Stay where you are or I'll sink my teeth in her neck and trust me, she won't survive" She threatened. Jordan halted. His eyes fixed on Leviathan filled with anger and hate. He slightly looked at Rowan who was still unconscious on the floor. "We can have a clean transaction here" Leviathan smiled, walking closer to Jordan. "I don't know what happened out there but I'm sure you came for her" He pointed at Willow. "And tell your boys to stay out of this" "Cut the trap Leviathan. I'm not giving you what you are asking for" Jordan huskily said. "Then I guess you wouldn't mind" Leviathan signaled Claudia and she was about to bite Willow but Jordan took a quick forward. "Calm down," Leviathan chuckled. "Hand her over, I'm asking nicely" Jordan growled. "Give me the moon stone, I'm asking nicely" Leviathan replied. "And don't try anything smart" He added when Jordan didn't say anything. "I know, the pack is second to none a
Jordan opened the windows of his study and heavily sat on his chair.The bags under his eyes and short subtle on his face confirmed how miserable he was."C'mon Willow, give me something, anything" He muttered."Willow, can you hear me? Please hear me" He telepathically said but got no response."I can't connect to her wolf," Storm said to him."This is ridiculous! And absolutely frustrating" He angrily stood up."I can't do anything about it," Storm said again.There was a knock on the door.Japh walked in shortly. He looked worried."Do we have anything new?" Jordan sat back."Um…""What is it? Tell me already" He has always been on an edge since Willow disappeared."You won't like it" Japh said but Jordan angrily stood up."Do I look like I like anything happening here?""This just came in" Japh placed a tiny note on the table."What's this?" He quickly picked it and read.'Bring the moon stone else she is dead, Levi'"I will kill that bastard! I will kill Leviathan!" Jordan angril
Jordan jumped out of his Mercedes and walked to Willow's door. He tapped on the door multiple times but no response. "Willow?" He called. "Willow? Iris?" He knew something was wrong when she didn't pick his calls. He dialed her again and placed the phone on his ear but he heard her phone ring from the inside. Jordan turned the knob and the door freely swung open. "Willow?" He called again but no response. He walked inside and did a quick check around the house and finally spotted her phone on the floor. Picking up the phone, he immediately spotted blood drops on the floor close to a sofa. He dashed out and drove to the colony. "Jordan?" Star called when she spotted him. "When did you get back?" "Earlier" He walked into his office and Japh soon joined them. "What's wrong?" Japh asked. "Where's Iris?" "Home" Japh replied. "Call her...no fuck that!" He walked out again and headed to Japh's house. Iris was already at the door when he arrived. "What happened?" She asked. "Wh
Willow put her arms around his neck as he walked out of the cabin with her in his arms. Jordan walked to the back of the cabin and took a short path that led them away from the cabin. The tress and bushes partially covered the cabin as he kept walking until he finally stopped. Willow's jaws dropped when she saw the waterfall. "Wow!" She saw pink lilies and daisies that carpeted the grasses. "Oh my God!" She exclaimed and touched some of the daisies. "This place is beautiful! Daisies, my dad's favorite flowers" "They grow naturally" He said to her. Everywhere was covered with green plants and trees but the lilies and daisies gave the waterfall a cute look. Willow spotted a single bush of white rose and two lounge chairs by the plunge pool. "Wow!" She turned to him. "It's a beautiful view. Now this is how to relax" Willow unbuttoned the shirt and threw it on one of the chairs. A satisfactory smiled settled on her lips when he couldn't take his eyes off her body. "Hopefully th
