(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

    (Willow's POV) We just moved in from New Jersey to Virginia and I'm not quite liking my new house. I begged my mum to let me stay with my friends but she insisted I come with her until I'm able to find myself a job and a house. Still in bed and in my pajamas, I looked around my room trying to think of how I'm gonna unpack all these boxes. Oh hey! I'm Willow. I'm a lazy person when it comes to anything physical or academic. I prefer listening to my music and eating junk food. I don't know how to cook but I know how to bake cookies. Girl's Scouts really helped and that's probably the reason why I'm still living with my mother. Apart from the fact that I don't have a job of course. I am twenty three and I graduated last year from college I'm not valedictorian nor salutatorian. Just one of the average, invisible and not so attractive girls who like to be on their own in school. I am not an introvert nor an extrovert. I love to keep to myself but don't like being quiet. We moved t

    (Willow's POV) When I opened my eyes, I found myself in my car in the driveway of my new house. Was that a dream? What happened? How did I get here and who were those mysterious men? And how did they save her life? "Willow!" I heard an aggressive knock on the window and almost jumped. She had the most terrific look on her face and I felt bad. "Hey mum" I lazily said as I got down from the car. "Hey mum? Is that all you got? Get in! Now!" She ordered but I hugged her instead. I don't want to ever feel like I was never going to see her again. "I'm sorry mum" I cried and she patted my hair. That was enough to tell me she wasn't mad anymore. I decided not to tell her about the horrific experience I had with the wolves because it'll only make her worried. "Like I said, they are an interesting set of people. Stella informed the police and formed a search team. She was literally crying" my mum laughed. "That's just dramatic" I laughed with her. "Not when my only child is missing.

    (Willow's POV)After a lot of thinking and consideration, I avoided my mum. I couldn't bring myself to look at her even after so many apologies and ways to get me to talk to her.I sat by the river imagining what my life would be like after this. I've made my decision and there's no going back."Finally" I heard his voice. Do I really want this? Am I ready? Well, I perfectly know the answers I needed."Jordan right?" I turned to him. It took me a week to make this decision and I know he waited."I guess she told you everything?" He walked past me. "She still remembers me" "My mum is the last person I want to talk about. She's in my past, I don't wanna hear or see her ever again" I breathed. "I'm ready to accept my identity, that's who I wanna be" I simply said to him because the sooner the better. I saw him smile. "What's amusing?""The fact that you think it's that easy. You don't have a single idea how or what being a wolf is" He rolled his eyes. "Then teach me" I commanded. He qu

Like my soul was ripped out of my body.But I still wasn't able to shift.Jordan looked down on me pathetically and after an ear full of my pleas, he gave me back the necklace.He left angry and I knew it. He is an ass but I felt like I failed him.No matter how hard I try, I can't shift.I parked my car in the driveway and walked into my house.My mother was sipping coffee and was lost in her thoughts."Sweetie!" She gave me a huge hug."I'm only here to ask about my father and the necessary information I need because I'm still not able to shift," I stated."I have little knowledge about shifting sweetheart. How can I possibly know how it's done? Maybe a little patience" She smiled."I took off the necklace, but nothing happened. I thought I'll be able to shift immediately. Jordan tried his be

    (Willow's POV) No matter how hard I tried to look for Jordan, I never succeeded. Nobody seemed to know him at all and it became frustrating. Two weeks and I heard nothing from him. I tried to take his advice and move on, get a job but I couldn't bring myself to do it. All I wanted was to be with my kind and it wasn't fair that he is depriving me a chance. I tried to do it myself but I almost died yesterday. It was harder considering the fact that I have no one. I can't even open up to my new best friend and it is killing me. I felt anger. I felt disappointed. If I can't go to Jordan, maybe he will come to me. The last time I shouted his name, he appeared. But I have tried that already. I went to the river eight times just to shout his name but he never came. I even looked deep in the woods but nothing! The only difference was that I was in danger and it was dark. Just maybe, if I scream for help in the woods at night, he might show up. But what if I get into real trouble?

    (Willow's POV) I felt his eyes as they bore into my skin. I quickly sat up and hugged my knees to cover my breasts. Why won't the earth open and swallow me? I wished I could disappear. I didn't dare look up because I was pink with embarrassment. What is going through his head? Is he looking at me or looking away like the gentleman he is supposed to be? I gathered enough courage to look up and he was staring right at me. My heart jumped to the pit of my stomach. He didn't say anything and we just locked eyes. I couldn't read his eyes. "Have the decency to look away" I glared at him. "Nothing I haven't seen before" He casually said. Was he for real? "I can't go home like this" I tried to shield myself with my hands but it was useless. "Get up" He ordered. I blinked and waited for him to make sense but he just stared back. "W...why?" I stammered. "I can't go home like this, '' I repeated. "Okay then. I guess you'll be spending the night here. I'm leaving" He took a few s

    He looked out the French windows with a pen clicking in between his fingers. His current investigation failed and he is stuck. Regardless of how hard he tries, it always leads to a dead end. "Jordan" A man with brown eyes walked in. "What's new?" Jordan swirled his chair to face his beta and friend. "We have nothing" The man replied with a slight bow of his head. "And Willow?" "She is at the river, as usual" "You left her alone? You know she should never be alone" Jordan stood up. He knew he couldn't trust Willow to be on her own. It's either she seeks for trouble or trouble seems to find her so he had to keep a close eye on her. "Don't you think you should bring her here? She is a werewolf" Japh said. "She doesn't belong here. Not every werewolf stays with its pack. Do you know how many wolves choose humanity over their wolf?" "But she wants to be here, that's the difference!" Japh exclaimed. "I know what's best for her because she doesn't know it," Jordan replied. "A

    Willow couldn't tell what was happening because she was blinded by tears and speechless with fright.Two of the men shifted but Jordan didn't.One moment she was crying in a corner, the next moment, Jordan and a brown wolf bashed in tossing and stabbing the three drunks who tried to rape her.Jordan looked straight at her. His eyes filled with anger as blood dripped down his hands.As much as she was glad that he saved her, she dreaded going close to him. Something wadded her off but she still found herself wrapping her two shaking hands around him.Japh shifted and put on some of the clothes he found in the cabin. He gave Jordan a cloth to clean his hands.She quietly cried on his chest and for a moment, he let her until he painfully grabbed her arm."I regret ever looking for you" Jordan growled and dragged her out. Japh cautiously followed them."I just wanted to…""You didn't have to do anything!" He let her go with a slight push. "You are a problem!""We need to keep moving guys"

    "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
