Willow’s POV

When I stepped out later that evening, I immediately noticed a few people looking at me.

They were staring, but our eyes would meet, they would look away.

The first time, it was an older woman carrying a basket.

The moment our eyes met, she quickly looked away and hurried off.

It happened three times before I even reached outside the building. Another woman near the entrance glanced at me, then immediately started staring at the ground as she walked past. Two warriors standing by t

  • 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

    Willow’s POVBeta Robin didn’t answer right away. He looked at the path ahead for several seconds, then he exhaled slowly.“I was wondering how long it would take before you asked.”I snorted. “Not very long, apparently.” He glanced at me, then looked forward again.“They forgot themselves,” he said finally.I waited for an explanation, but he didn’t continue.“That’s not really an answer,” I said.“It’s the only answer I’m giving.” He replied.I stared at the side of his face, but he kept walking.“In Blood Moon, warriors are expected to follow certain rules,” he continued after a moment. His voice was calm. “When they don’t, there are consequences. That’s how this pack functions.”“Was it because of me?”Robin’s jaw shifted slightly.I kept going. “They grabbed me in a corridor and dragged me into a room. You showed up and walked me back to my room and told them the alpha would find out. And the next morning, by the alpha’s order, they were chained to posts in front of the whole pa

Another woman near the entrance glanced at me, then immediately started staring at the ground as she walked past. Two warriors standing by the entrance stopped talking the moment I passed, and when I looked back, they were both watching me with unreadable expressions.I frowned but kept walking.A strange thought crossed my mind.Did this have something to do with the punishment this morning?No.That would be ridiculous.Maybe I was imagining things. After everything that had happened in the last two days, my nerves were making me feel paranoid for nothing.I shook my head and kept walking.Instead of heading towards the training g
