Chapter Four-Sloan POV
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“Mate!” yells Oaklen inside my head as I watch my sister crouching in wolf form to attack the girl. She is not what I expected. Curvy and tall with long black curls falling down her back. I see her lock onto me as the wind blows in her direction, knowing she sensed it too. Odd, I had never really noticed her in our pack before, but I could sense why. She had Omega blood. I grimace at the laughing stock I will be for this. And to think, I really though last nights dream had been a reality. Nobody would take me seriously as the Alpha of Alphas with an omega mate. The moon goddess really got this match wrong I huff to myself. Oaklen growls at me “Do not insult our mate. She is a fair match against your sister. Perhaps even stronger. Her blood may be omega but her heart is pure Alpha!” I shake my head at his nonsense. But watching the scene in front of me, he did have a point. The girl jumped up and shifted into a pure black wolf. Twisting she took my sister to her back and held her. She had one. Amusement sparkles in my eyes as I watch. She had fight, I will give her that. As the crowd around us erupts, my father speaks clearly and warmly through the microphone. Welcoming her to his warriors. Then he looks concerned as her wolf form races directly for me, seeming to have stolen full control of her. He rushes forward in a panic just as I get licked across the face by this new wolf. But I shove her off in fear. Fear of my fathers rejection that I mated to an omega. Fear that the pack could never take my bloodline serious with her at my side. Oaklen slammed against my brain trying to force the shift. Wanting to show her affection back. Knowing this girl was ours. And we were hers. But I locked him down and refused.
She looked up at me and I could see the hurt even on her wolfs face. Turning with her tail between her legs, she runs for the tent that usually only underage wolves bother with. Her mother glances at my curiously before following her daughter inside.
My father growls at me. Something about what happened. But I am stunned. Stunned at her actions as well as my own. Feeling my shoulder shake I look into my fathers eyes. They are filled with tears, and I shift and take off into the woods. I was right, my mate had disappointed him. He was angry and sad. He would no longer hand the pack over to me unless I rejected her. I can feel him trying to force the mind link, but I am stronger and I shut him out. I cant be here right now. I cannot listen to his lecture. And I damn sure couldn’t reject her. Omega blood or not, the world suddenly felt right when I saw her. She would be mine. I just had to figure out how to get my father to agree to it.

Willow's Heart Chapter Five-Willow POV
Sasha screams in my head, “Rejected. He rejected us, we aren’t good enough to be an Alpha’s mate and he said so!” Trying to breath I reminded her that he hadn’t said anything, maybe she startled him? “No, I felt his anger and his rejection. He shoved us off and wanted nothing to do with us. I would rather be rogue than a rejected omega. Don’t make me face him again, it hurts. Willow please!” Hearing my wolf cry of rejection did nothing to make me feel better. I had won. I had been a welcomed warrior. But I had not been a welcomed mate. Tears streak down my face as I painfully shift back, my mother immediately gathering me into her arms. “Shhh baby. Its okay Willow. Remember, in a hurricane you adapt. You don’t break on me now. We will figure this out. Just get a shower and we can go home” I hiccup as I reply with the words no werewolf parent wants to hear, “I am not going home. I am going rogue. If he does0n&rsq

Today was my birthday. It was also 5 days after meeting my mate. I did my best to avoid her but my body seemed to be pulled in her direction constantly. I had found myself in her presence many times. Wondering if it was the mate bond pulling us together or if I had really never noticed this beautiful woman before. She was graceful for her height. Curves that would make Aphrodite jealous. And the way she smelled. Goddess, that woman smelled amazing. Like honeysuckle and rain. Fresh and sweet as she is. She never stayed long where I was. Like she was afraid if she did, I would reject her on the spot. But she had no idea that I didn’t want to reject her.The hot summer air in Louisiana was no joke, the entire wolf pack often finding itself in the river trying to cool off. Today was no different. But my mate, she didn’t stick around. Willow, what an unusual name. Soft and yielding but stronger than any other trees in our area.I jumped up and ran to her, trying

“Fuck” I whisper under my breath as I run home. He is everywhere I go lately. I do not ever remember seeing him this much before he became Alpha. Or my mate. Sasha hides, angry that he snapped at us. He was supposed to love us and protect us, not yell at us and make us submit over one rude remark. I get away with more with my mother. He was a right brute and I have no idea what the moon goddess was thinking when she put us together. We are polar opposites. Even our wolves were opposites. Mine dark as the night sky with no moon. His brighter white than the moon itself. Made no sense. And to top it all off, he definitely didn’t want me. I was already leaving, I do not know why he felt the need to come make me. I didn’t want to be around him either. My heart had already broken, I just wanted to be set free. Yet he toyed with me and kept me around. I guess I should be lucky he had not visited the brothel. I have heard that even without the mate bond completion, t

I stood outside her bathroom door trying to decide what words to use. I knew she was frightened but I was insistent on convincing her she would be safe and loved with me. I heard the water shut off and knew my time was running short. But I still didn’t know what to say. I just hoped her wolf could talk some sense into her. We were mates. Destined for each other. Why would she automatically assume I would reject her? That cut so much deeper than you would think. To know my mate thought so poorly of me before even knowing me. I reached to knock on her door just as I heard a struggle and a loud thud. “What the hell?” I whisper to myself as I knock and call out for her. “Willow? Will? Sweetheart? Answer me or I’m coming in!” There was still no response so I twisted the knob slowly. Of course she had locked the door and it wouldn’t be so simple. Inhaling deeply, I kicked the door in to find my beautiful mate passed out on the floor and bleeding from her forehead. Behind me I hear yellin

I feel groggy as I come to. The lights are too bright and I hear hushed voices around me. ‘Where am I? How did I get here? What the fuck happened?’ I think to myself as I slowly blink trying to get my surroundings to focus. Finally my vision homes in on my father. “Dad?” I whisper, my voice hoarse.“Hey sweetheart, mom went to get coffee. How you feelin’?” He shuffles closer to me and puts his hand against my cheek. He had been away in pack business for a few weeks. We didn’t even know he would be home today. He looks handsome in his suit with his own dark curls and bright blue eyes. He smelled like home and I was glad to see him.“My head kind of hurts and I don’t really remember what happened. How did I get to the hospital? The last thing I remember…oh..the last thing I remember is yelling at Sloan. Ugh. He must think I’m really crazy now. Great.”Dad chuckles and grabs my hand, “You seemed to have slipped in the bathroom and hit your head hard on the cabinet. You were

I’m pacing outside the pack hospital when my phone vibrates in my pocket. I pick it up to see Sloans dad is calling. Dad, as in the one who raised her. Her biological father gave his life for our pack. He was a strong warrior but the pack wars took so many great lives from us. “Hey Sloan, I know you’re anxious. She will be fine. She is awake now but refusing to see you. Something about you rejecting her? Son, I hope that’s not your intentions. She is a strong fighter and an endearing soul. She’d make a fine Alina for our pack. Is it fear of your father? The pack? Both?”Sighing heavily I reply “It was both. But my father accepts her. I just worry about the dangers of being a Luna. Although you are right, she is an amazing warrior and I am sure the pack would love her. I told her that I wasn’t rejecting her. She’s just terrified because of my initial reaction. I handled that poorly.” I kick the rocks in the gravel drive that runs alongside the hospital and internally kick my

I wake to the sound of mom fussing with one of the nurses about breakfast. Something about it taking too long and me needing food in my body before being discharged. Great. Just what I need now. Mom breathing down my back the whole of next week while I try to decide what I want to do about Sloan. I know I am being unfair but I kept seeing the terrified look on his face as Sasha ambushed him. He says he won’t reject me. But the pack. They might. They may not see me as strong enough to be Luna. Especially once they discovered that Sloan was meant to be the next Alpha of Alphas. That’s no small role. And to take it on with an Omega at your side. Well you’d have to be downright crazy. And speaking of crazy, that’s what the rumors say about our Alpha Line. That Sloan’s father is losing grips on reality and that is why he took over so soon. Normally Alphas take over either at 30 or if they out power the current Alpha before then. It can be passed willingly or fought for in some cases. Alpha

The Alpha meeting. Only the most intimidating meeting there is to have. Oakley shuffled uncomfortably in my mind. Nervous as I was for what was about to come. We knew we had power to back us. We knew we had support from our pack, our father, and the moon goddess herself. But with everything happening with Willow lately, we just felt inadequate. Slowly other seats in the great hall filled with other alphas from neighboring packs. And then from packs even further out. This was a meeting for alphas across the whole south of the United States. We had been at war just 12 years ago and now we met every summer to remind ourselves that we are greater together. But my aura was strong and noticeably making other alphas on edge. They were squirming in their seats. Making sure to stay as far from me as possible. I had it reigned in so nobody would feel subjected to submit, but let enough out to show who I truly was. As in the end, there would be no hiding it. Ready or not, I am the Alpha of Alpha

Walking up to Willow’s house I can feel my nerves kicking in. Which is crazy since I spent the night in there. In her bed. With her in my arms. But this was still our first date. Our first public outing. I could see the headlines I’d have to protect her from already. Werewolf hierarchy being what it was, I could just hope my pack loved her because I did. Her dark black curls and sweet smile melted me already. I never stood a chance and that’s on the goddess herself. I knock on the door slowly and take a few deep breaths. Everything would be fine. It had to be. She had accepted I was her mate. This was just the finer details. Making her fall in love with me. Actual love. I never expected her, and yet I felt like I had known her forever. Willow. My sweet bending Willow. Ready for the storm ahead. I spent the entire day in meetings and dealing with angry Alphas. Some thankfully were on our side and ready to fight with us. But some were so very angry already. Not wanting to kneel to anyo

Standing in the shower, where I have nearly killed myself twice now, I think that maybe I should try bubble baths like other women. Laughter bubbles up inside me at the very thought. Goddess it felt good to laugh. I had been in such a funk for a few weeks now, it was nice to feel wanted. And man did I want him back. I still felt uneasy. But I understood his hesitation better. Sloan was already protective of me. And who could fault the man for that? I turn the shower off and step out, day dreaming of the tender forehead kisses he gave even in his sleep. So tender for such a large man. He barely fit on my twin size mattress with me. Well over six feet and pure muscle. Blonde hair just a bit too long and ice blue eyes that stare into your soul. And the poutiest bottom lip I’ve ever seen on a man. But endearing nonetheless. Not to mention his wonderful cypress scent. Like home. He felt like home too. I never knew another persons arms could feel so much like a place. Shaking my head of my
Willow's Heart Chapter fourteen- Sloan POV
As I lay in her bed smothered by the sweet smell of honeysuckle, I feel at peace. I left the Alpha meeting without another word, to which I’m sure they are all displeased about. Dad said so himself through the mindlink. But he understood. My mate had finally needed me. And if I had rejected her in that moment I may have lost her forever. I could feel aggression through the Alphas’ link and I knew trouble was brewing but in this very moment, I couldn’t be bothered. The gentle purring of her wolf had me happier than I had ever been before. Willow’s soft curls laid against my chest like a blanket of summer breeze. Her small hands and gentle arms wrapped around my waist in a death grip, still afraid I might up and leave at any moment. Or perhaps that I am a figment of her imagination. I lean down and tenderly kiss her forehead to reassure her that I am here to stay and I feel her grip soften just a fraction. “Willow, the other packs are not happy that I am above them. The Alpha meeting d

I sat on my bed, staring at my phone. It practically burned in my hands as I contemplated the call I needed to make. Sloan. One name. With so many possibilities tied to it. I didn’t know what to say if he answered. Much less if he didn’t. I wanted so badly to accept him. But I was still so hurt. I think only time could heal that wound. Although only time could answer that. And it was time I felt like I didn’t have to offer. I didn’t want to stay and wait just to feel that hurt of rejection again. Sasha agreed in my mind. Howling at me to just drop the burning phone and go back to bed. He could wait another day. It wouldn’t hurt anyone. Though, what if that day made all the difference. Finally without thinking too hard, I pressed call. I immediately felt my breathing stop. Pretty sure my heart stopped too. Every ring felt like a decade. After an eternity, it picked up.“Willow? Are you okay?” came the familiar voice that made my stomach drop. Now I was hyperventilating. I choked trying
