All Chapters of Running: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

POV Willow{What do you think?} I asked Nox as Lee dozed in the seat next to me.{I think that as much as we don't want to admit it, they are still our pack and we need to take care of them.} she replied and I sighed.{I agree. I don't understand what's happening though. It doesn't add up. What would the rouge and hunters be looking for? Why would they team up? How are there so many of them?} I continued.{I'm confused by it too. I have a really bad feeling about it though. We need to keep our guard up no matter what. Something isn't right here.} Nox replied.{Do you think it's all a setup? Would Dad, Dean, Alpha Zack and Alpha Lex stoop that low?} I voiced the concern that had been troubling me the entire time.{I don't think so but we didn't believe that they would try to tie us with silver and force a mark on us either so....} Nox pointed out.{Great...} I replied.{Just... don't trust anyone and I'll keep a

POV WillowAt my father's words, chaos broke out. Everyone seemed be talking. Children and even some teenagers were crying as mates and families pulled together. I looked up to see Lee, Devon, Nate and Dean all watching me with worry on their faces. I glanced over to see my mother and father in shock and I knew that I had to take over. "Shadow Pack! It is good to see you all and I'm sorry that it's under these circumstances. Please go and relax with your family and friends and leave your trust in our leaders. They will always protect you." I announced loudly.My words seemed to calm the crowd and the warriors helped to shoo the pack members away."Let's discuss thi

 POV LeeI sat and stared at the wall. There was nothing else I could do but wait and hope. After our discussion in the hospital wing, Luna Rose insisted that we all go clean up and rest. She was planning a dinner so we could stay strong.Luckily, all the rouges and hunters had left not just this territory but the other packs as well. Jake had gotten what he wanted. I still couldn't figure out how he had been able to get so many hunters and rouges to do his bidding. He must have told them of Willow's powers and promised that she would help them. I knew that wasn't going to end well for her. She would rather die than help them and they would soon learn that Jake didn't control her the way he had probably told them he did. They would kill him and torture her. Eventually they would kill her. We all knew that it was only a matter of time and we needed to move fast.There was a knock on the bedroom door and I rushed to throw clot

POV WillowMy stomach dropped as we walked into the room. Jake and Sam just stared for a moment before Jake rushed towards me."Thank you, Livia. Would you join us?" he asked her politely as he grabbed my hand.She paused and looked towards me. I sent her a pleading look and she sighed but nodded slightly."Of course." she agreed.I was forever grateful to her. I knew that this must be difficult, sitting in a room with the mate who mistreated you and his evil cousin and the girl your mate wanted to leave you for but I just couldn't face the two of them by myself.{She's loyal to you already.} Nox said and I agreed.{She doesn't deserve this.} I replied.{None of us do. Her poor wolf is suffering so much. Thankfully, she's strong and I think she would survive a rejection or if Sam died.} Nox informed me.{Good because he's not going to get away with this.} I vowed and I felt Nox agree.{Tell her wo

POV WillowA chill ran over my entire body as I stared at Livia. She nodded and stood, then she knelt in front of me. I furrowed my brow at her."I, Livia Greene, cut all pack ties to the Moonstone pack and pledge my loyalty and life to you, Willow and your pack. I vow to protect and obey you for the rest of my days." She said seriously.I stared at her in disbelief as I felt a whisper of magic surround me. It was so slight that I would have missed it if it wasn't so silent and quiet.Livia looked up at me, waiting.{Accept her. Like an Alpha would.} Nox prodded and I nodded, remembering the words my Dad would say to new pack members."I, Willow Oak, accept you Livia Greene as a member of my pack. I vow to protect and take care of you for the rest of my days." I replied and I felt the magic settle on us.Livia grinned but her smile dropped as we heard footsteps in the hall.{They will drug you. Don't fight it a
