The Rejected Latent Wolf

Willow’s POVWe were taught that the goddess makes no mistakes and that everything she does is for a reason. We were made to believe that she loves us all equally and watches over us from the moon.But I know better; the goddess does not love us equally; she wouldn't subject me to a life of suffering if that were the case.My name is Willow Marrock, the only daughter of Davis Marrock, Alpha of The Crescent Moon Pack. I am the dirt of my pack, an abomination to my kind, and the punching bag of my father.He once said that I was cursed, that the moon goddess took away my wolf as punishment for taking the life of his Luna, my mother, who died giving birth to me. I never asked to be born; all I have known my whole life is pain and suffering.It was better when I was a child; he at least tolerated my presence, but when I turned 13 and there was no sign of my wolf surfacing, my father's hatred for me intensified. When I turned 15, I had found out I had the gift of healing, and although I co

Willow’s POVDwane stumbled towards me too; I could see the struggle in his eyes, his painfully clenched jaw, fisted fists. Trying so hard to control the push of the newly formed mating bond.Beside him, Denise shot lasers at me through her eyes before disappearing into the crowd.This was not what I wanted. Dwane, who had seen me countless times get beaten and abused and never spoke or even looked at me with pity. But how can I question the goddess?If she chose him for me, then he is meant for me. Who am I to question the goddess’s choice? We kept walking towards each other till we were inches apart, our breaths in perfect synch, eyes locked on each other like the rest of the world didn't matter.All I wanted in that moment was to bare my neck and let him mark me and claim me. As he should, my mate. Mine. I wasn't the only one affected; I saw his pupils darken as he watched my lips; for a moment I felt he wanted to kiss me. His eyes filled with urge and lust.My father stepped for

Klaus's POVI hate unnecessary bothers; usually, I leave the early morning surveillance rounds to my enforcers Theo and Mark, but I heard a war broke out at the neighboring eastern clan moon festival, and a whole pack was wiped out. I wouldn't put it past some foolish wolves to try something as foolish as loitering in my territory. They just never learn.I guess it was a good idea not getting involved with the Eastern Pack and refusing their invitation. Sharing a border doesn't automatically mean we have to be friendly or become alliances. I bet Theo will win the bet on the advantages of rejecting the invitation. Goddess knows just how much trouble we would have been dragged into.I should have ignored the couple fighting since they looked to be having an argument rather than spying or trying to get into the territory, but something about the defeat in the feature of the woman held me back. She looked so pitiful I just had to interfere, and I don't like arrogant foolish wolves. “Wha

Klaus’s povShe seems wary of me, and I have been trying hard to hold back from startling her too much. But being in such close proximity with her is not making things easy for me. She seems so fragile, and my wolf keeps pushing with the need to shield and protect her. I already had my suspicions that she might be a survivor from the pack that was attacked at the moon dance, but seeing her response confirms it. But it could also be a trap by our enemies, a well-thought-out plan of infiltrating our pack and attacking us from the inside.There was no point in denying that she was indeed my mate. The goddess had to curse me with another mate after I swore to never be mated again. Like punishing me with Yvette wasn't enough; my wolf wouldn't survive another betrayal.Yvette left my wolf and I damaged when she left, and I am not giving any other woman a chance to turn my life upside down. Especially one who looks and smells like trouble.It would have been better to question her myself, b

Willow’s PovHe just stood there glaring at his beta, and I don't understand why.My neck hurt, and my body was covered in sweat. I was literally trembling.My body was used to this type of punishment; why was I reacting poorly? I got my reply when my stomach growled so loud, making the two men stare at me.I bent down to hide my embarrassment.Klaus barely moved by the door where he had stood. He didn't try to comfort me like he had done when we were alone together.So what now? What will be my fate? They know everything; I can only hope and plead that they send me away. Living as a rogue wolf was better than becoming Dwane’s property, and with my gift, I could find a pack in need of a healer and earn a living.“Alpha, we should send her back to where she belongs,” Caleb said.There was no response from Klaus, who just stood rooted by the door.“No, if she is telling the truth, then we can't send her back.”The reply seemed to annoy Caleb“We will only be inviting trouble to oursel
