Willow’s POV

ONE MONTH LATER

A month had passed since the night Mordecai had stood beside my bed.

And he hadn’t come back to my room since then.

Life had settled into something that almost felt normal.

Every morning started the same way. I woke up, ate, and went to the garden with Gaunt. The evenings were either walk around the pack or visits to the training grounds with Hela. Some days, neither of them came at all, and I stayed indoors.

When that happened, Hela would show up the next day with a

    Willow’s POVThe training grounds helped too.Vincent was still trying to win back his gold chain.He had tried making different bets, but I only accepted the ones that I was sure of, and none of them had worked.I felt bad that I had offered to just give it back.“No,” he said immediately.“Vincent.” I had held it out to him. “Take it back.”“I don’t want it back.”“Then why do you keep trying to win it?”“Because winning it is the point.”I had given up and put it back in my pocket. I hadn’t worn it since I won it, but Vincent insisted on me keeping it because he wanted to win it fairly.Hela was a different story.On the days she was at the training grounds, she would stand beside me.We would watch the matches together, and sometimes she would ask what I saw, and I would tell her. Sometimes I was wrong. When I was, she would point it out flatly. When I was right, she said nothing, which I had learned to read as agreement.Whenever I predicted a move and it happened a second later,

  • Alpha Mordecai: Love & Obsession   Chapter 51

    Willow’s POVFive days.Mordecai had not come to the apothecary garden in five days.I found myself looking toward the gate whenever I heard footsteps. That realization annoyed me immediately.When I found plants I didn’t recognize, I would automatically look around, expecting a flat voice to identify them.It was strange how quickly I had gotten used to him appearing without making a sound. The short answers and all the questions he never answered. The way he would crouch beside a plant and point out something I had been staring at for twenty minutes without seeing.And now there was none of that.The garden felt strangely empty because of it.Even the feeling of being watched had stopped. I had gotten so used to it that its absence felt strange, like a sound that had always been in the background had suddenly stopped.I had not realized how much I had been relying on his short visits until they stopped.My work in the herb garden had slowed down to nothing because without him there

  • Alpha Mordecai: Love & Obsession   Chapter 50

    Willow’s POVAfter a quick shower, I decided to go to the training grounds.Anything was better than spending another evening thinking about pale blue eyes. It had been a while since I had gone there.Lately, most of my time had been spent in the two gardens. If I wasn’t working, I usually walked around the territory or sat near the playground watching the children.I hadn’t gone back to the training grounds since the punishment of those warriors.Part of me had been scared that if word got around about why those two men had been whipped, people would connect it to me.The staring after the punishment had been very bizarre, but it had calmed down a few days later. But I had still been hesitant.Until Diana told me the reason, when I finally worked up the nerve to ask her if she knew why they were punished.“Officially, it wasn’t just about you,” she had said. “They had been skimming from supply shipments for months. Apparently somebody finally found proof and brought it to the alpha.

  • Alpha Mordecai: Love & Obsession   Chapter 49

    Willow’s POVThe next few days settled into something close to a routine.I split my time between the two gardens. The first one was easy now. I knew every root, every plant, every flower, but the apothecary garden fought me at every step.Most of the plants there looked very alike. Some had identical leaves, with only a faint color difference or a different vein pattern to tell them apart. I spent entire mornings kneeling in the dirt, turning leaves over, comparing one to the next, trying to make the differences stick in my head.Progress was too slow. All I could do was clear out the dead plants to make the garden look less like a battlefield.Mordecai started showing up.He never announced himself. He simply appeared whenever he wanted to.Sometimes I looked up and found him standing a few feet away, watching. Other times I didn’t notice him at all until a flat voice answered a question I had been muttering to myself, and I nearly jumped out of my skin.He never stayed long. I woul

  • Alpha Mordecai: Love & Obsession   Chapter 48

    Willow’s POVThe next morning, a knock came at my door immediately after breakfast.Beta Robin was standing in the hallway when I opened it, his bright red hair making him very easy to recognize.“Ready?” he asked.I scowled as I grumbled. “Do I really have a choice?”To my surprise, he shrugged. “Actually, yes.”I blinked. “What?”“If you truly don’t want to do it, say so.” He stated.I narrowed my eyes suspiciously, but Robin looked completely serious.I folded my arms. “And Alpha Mordecai would be happy about that?”Robin’s mouth twitched. “Probably not”I raised an eyebrow. “So?”“But nothing would happen to you,” he added, “If you genuinely don’t want to do this, you can say so. I’ll tell him myself.”I wasn’t convinced one bit.This was Alpha Mordecai we were talking about, but Robin sounded genuine.I studied him for a moment before sighing. “Fine.”His expression relaxed slightly. “Good, because explaining that to the alpha sounds like a terrible experience.”I laughed in res

  • Alpha Mordecai: Love & Obsession   Chapter 47

    Willow’s POVI went to the garden early, before the sun had risen.I hadn’t slept properly. Every time I had drifted off during the night, those pale eyes came back, and I had woken up each time with my heart pounding too fast. By the third time it happened I had given up trying to sleep at all and just lay there staring at the ceiling until the sun started to rise.So I came to the garden tired, because I needed the routine more than usual.The garden was the only place that made sense in my head, so I went there before the rest of the pack fully woke up.I knelt and started checking the soil the way I always did to feel how much moisture was already there before adding more. The purple flowers closest to the entrance needed less water than the other plants. If given too much water, the roots rotted from the inside, until the whole plant collapsed without warning.I reached for the watering can to water it.“You’re overwatering that one.”A calm flat voice came from behind me.“No, I

    Chapter 35Willow’s POVThe next morning, I woke up with a plan.I lay in bed for a few minutes after opening my eyes, going over it in my head. The plan was simple. I just needed to start small, without rush so that it wouldn’t look obvious.I was going to map this pack and find out how to escape.
