"Who is there?" I asked as I placed my hand on the door handle"It's me. Open up" I knew who it was the second I heard the voice.His gruffy voice that once captivated me now only sent nasty chills my way.What was he doing here?I opened the door halfway and blocked the space. I couldn't let him into my house, not after the last time."What are you doing here, Marcus?" I asked looking him straight in the eye"Are you really dating the CEO of that company you always talked about?" Curiosity filled his voice"Yes and I don't see how it's any of your business" "It is my business, if my girl is going out with some guy, I need to know" "I am not your girl. Can you leave? I have somewhere I need to be" He licked his lips and took a step towards me "Wouldn't you invite me in?"I tightened my grip on the door "No. You're not welcome here. Not anymore"His gaze deepened and he took a step forward towards the door. I knew that if he tried to get in on his own, I would stand no chance agai

When I was in middle school, there was a day when I decided to wear lipstick and makeup for the first time. I genuinely thought I looked good as I walked into school, but little did I know what awaited me. As soon as I entered the building, Skully, the boy who always mocked and bullied me, grabbed me by the shirt and dragged me towards him into a secluded corner. "You look like a clown," he sneered, his words cutting through me."My mom said I looked beautiful," I replied, desperately holding onto a glimmer of confidence."She lied to you. Take it off," he spat with contempt.Defiantly, I shook my head. "No," I mustered, summoning a bit of courage, and pushed him away. However, he responded by shoving me back with force, causing my back to collide with the unforgiving wall. The pain was immediate, and I couldn't help but cry out, "Ouch!""Take it off now!" Skully bellowed, his voice filled with rage.Tears streaming down my face, I reached into my bag and grabbed a tissue, desperatel

I flinched as the person knocked again. With shaky legs, I stood up from my couch and walked to the door.I opened the door slowly and almost screamed as I saw my boss, Mr Lockhart standing in front of me.His wandering eyes made me aware of the baggy sweatshirt and pants I had on. I always loved being comfortable at home"Sir, what are you doing here?" I quickly asked His stoic expression was infuriating me, I liked being able to read people's emotions and I couldn't read his"You said you'd do anything to pay for the damages you did to my car" he stated By this time of the night?Does he think that I'd sleep with him to pay a debt? Is he delusional? "I know I said I'd do anything but I didn't mean that…"He quick interrupted me "Let me stop you right there. I didn't come here to sleep with you. That would be unprofessional and I am a man of class""So why are you here by this time?"He looked into my house"Mind if I come in?"Yes I mind "I'm sorry I don't think that's a good i

In front of me was the guy whose car I had damaged. He was dressed just like the previous day, in an expensive suit only now he wasn't wearing sunglasses. He looked so at home, almost as if he owned the place.A surge of panic shot through me as I remembered the fake phone number I had given him. Instinctively, I hid behind a nearby wall, I prayed silently that he hadn't seen me. "What are you doing here?" a voice suddenly exclaimed, catching me off guard. My shock intensified when I realized that it was the very same man I was trying to hide from"I work here" I started composing myselfHis blue eyes scrutinized me from head to toe "You don't work here. I know all the staff"I shifted away from him "Well maybe you don't know everyone""I do know everyone. So who exactly are you?" His eyes once again ravaged my body, making me feel uncomfortable "I'm new. It's my first day" I finally said He nodded his head and then a glint appeared in his eyes like he had just remembered somethin

Willow’s POVAs Lucas left, Julian came into my room right after him. He closed the door behind himself and walked over, he had a ridiculous grin on his face as inched closer. “Hey, you” He stopped right in front of me and leaned down. The sudden closeness made my heart skip. But Mia. I placed a hand firmly against his chest, stopping him before our lips could meet.Julian stopped, looking a bit shocked and hurt by my rejection. “What did Lucas tell you?” he asked, his voice dropped“It is not about Lucas” I said, shaking my head as I dropped my hand. “Mia can walk in at any time. What if she sees us?”“So what if she does?” “Mia is in love with you, and she is my best friend”Julian looked at me, a sudden cloud of doubt passed over his face. “Do you regret what happened last night?”I met his eyes instantly, wanting to erase that look from his face. “No, I don't. I don't regret it at all, Julian. But I can't let Mia know until it's the right time. Can we just keep it a secr

Willow’s POV“Woah” Julian let out as he stepped back from the kiss. My heart was beating fast. I had never done something so bold before. What if he didn’t like it? “I’m sor…” before I could finish. His hand wrapped around my waist and he pulled me close. I felt goosebumps as he leaned down and our lips met again.My eyes closed instinctively. I gripped his arms for support as our lips moved in sync. We separated again and he stared into my eyes as if searching for an answer. “What does this mean?” He whispered with a smile on his face.“I think it means I want to give us a chance” I matched his smile. His hand cupped my face and I leaned into his touch. I never noticed how big his hands were before. “I promise you won’t regret this decision” he whispered gently. I nodded and deep down. I knew he was the right one for me. No one else understood me like him. No one else loved me like him. I may not have felt strongly for him as I did for Lucas but that was just because of the

Willow’s POVJust like I expected, Lucas didn’t tell me the truth. He gave me a half assed explanation that made no sense but I didn’t argue. Getting Caleb to his family was more important. Cassie was so happy to see Caleb and his family were relieved. He had lost his memory of what happened and instead of helping him remember, Lucas blatantly lied to his family saying hie was kidnapped by rogues. Once I settled in my room. I dropped flat on my bed and spread my arms wide.Everything I knew was a lie.My father was not a human. He was a witch. I sat up right and crossed my arms around my knees. I wondered if my dad was fine. If he even knew that I was alive. Was he in Enchantia? I had answers about who I was but it only led me to more questions. As I shifted on the bed. A piece of paper dropped from my pocket. It was the letter Julian wrote. When I kept this, I had no idea why but now in a world where I had to guess everything. There was one thing I did not have to guess and

Lucas’s POV“Bloody hell” the wizard king yelled. “You trashed my bunker and almost killed my staff and you can’t remember any of it?”“I…” Willow started to say but the wizard king was livid“Are you mentally okay? Aren’t wild wolf hybrids supposed to be kept locked up in some…”“Do not talk to her like that?” I interrupted him, setting myself in front of her protectively.“You brought this upon yourself when you took our own”“I only did that to…” the wizard king started“That doesn’t matter now. Let him out of there, he needs help” I stated seriously.The wizard king gestured to one of the scared scientists“Take him and give him some medical help. The project is over” The scientist opened the cage and helped Caleb up before leading him up the stairs for help.“Something isn’t right, Lucas. Why does he keep talking like you’re aware of this” Willow said in a low voice behind me“I’ll explain everything later”“What are you?” The wizard king asked, he was looking straight at Will

Lucas’s POVI walked down slowly behind him, my muscles tensed and ready for a fight. I expected to see a commotion with his staff or Caleb trying to escape, but instead I saw…The heavy metal door to the bunker was wide open. Broken glass and scattered papers covered the cold concrete floor, reflecting the harsh white lights of the lab. Two scientists were curled up in fear in a corner. Then I saw her.Willow.But she did not look like the girl I knew. She was on top of a heavily armored guard, pinning him to the floor with terrifying strength. Her hands were gripped tight around his collar. When she looked up for a split second, my breath caught in my throat. Her eyes were not their usual color. They were a glowing, piercing red. Her claws were fully extended, digging deep into the thick fabric of the guard's uniform. She looked feral, driven by a raw, unfiltered rage that I had never seen in her before.She was beautiful.The Wizard King pushed past me, his face twisted in shoc

Lucas’s POV“This ought to be a joke” the Wizard King said. He straightened himself in his chair, his eyes following the door for a long moment after Willow had left the room. I stood my ground, my feet planted firmly on the plush carpet. “With all due respect, I would not leave my pack and come here for the sake of comedy”I hated, no loathed when people did not take me seriously. The King leaned forward, his face hardened into a mask of cold fury. “The kid we took was because of you. You know that!”I felt a surge of heat in my chest, guilt mixed with a pang of fear but I did not let it show. “I specifically told my father to stop. No one needs to be hurt for my sake. Let the boy go”“I cannot do that” he snapped“You will do as I say” I countered. I didn't raise my voice, but I let the weight of my words hang in the air. I was done having a peaceful conversation.He stood up abruptly, his shadow loomed large against the bookshelves. “You are a puppy compared to me. You are on
