Willow’s POV

The spear slammed into my shoulder and knocked me backward.

For a second I didn't feel anything.

Then the pain hit.

A sharp cry escaped me as fire tore through my arm.

My breath vanished. The world froze.

I was on the ground. I wasn’t sure when that had happened.

Someone was shouting my name. It sounded like Vincent.

I tried to understand what was happening, but I couldn’t process it. Everything was blurry and loud at once.

I turned my head to see Mordecai standing at the other sid

  • Alpha Mordecai: Love & Obsession   Chapter 71

    Willow’s POVAfter Oliver left, I sat on the clinic bed and did not say anything for a moment.“He seemed genuine,” I said finally.Mordecai hummed, but didn’t say anything.I looked down at my hands. The knuckles on my right hand were bruised. I pressed them gently and winced.“Stop that,” Mordecai said.“I’m checking to see if anything’s broken.”“Nothing is broken. If it were, you would know already.”I stopped pressing on my knuckles.The potion the healer had given me was beginning to work. The sharp pain in my ribs was softening. My shoulder still ached, but it was distant now.“You can go,” I told him. “I’m going to sleep.”“I know.” He replied.I waited for him to move toward the door.He didn’t.A few minutes later, he picked me up again, but I was too tired to do anything more than groan in protest. The walk back through the building was quieter than before. We didn’t pass many people, and the ones we passed moved out of the way immediately or looked somewhere else.When we

  • Alpha Mordecai: Love & Obsession   Chapter 70

    Willow’s POVThe walk to the clinic was quiet.Mordecai moved beside me at a slow pace without speaking or touching me. The pack members in the corridors cleared a path for him automatically, the way they always did, most of them glancing at me curiously as we passed.I wished the ground would swallow me.I had already embarrassed myself enough today.I took another step.I kept my eyes forward and tried not to let it show how much my ribs were hurting.I managed to keep walking normally for about three minutes.As we walked, my ribs protested with a sharp spike of pain that made me pause to exhale hard through my nose.Mordecai stopped beside me.He looked at me with those pale eyes. “The offer to carry you is still available.”“No.” I started walking again.He fell back into step beside me.A few more minutes passed.We turned a corner and it was getting harder to walk. My shoulder was aching, and my legs felt wobbly.I refused to show it.“You’re slowing down,” Mordecai observed.“

  • Alpha Mordecai: Love & Obsession   Chapter 69

    Willow’s POVHeather turned on me with fire in her eyes and came forward in a run, throwing punches rapidly. They were less accurate than before. I avoided two, caught one on the forearm, and then moved around her.“Enough!” She grabbed for my arm.I pulled away and put distance between us.She was breathing harder than she had been at the start, not because she was tired, but because she was irritated.She turned.Her technique had changed. She was no longer fighting a controlled spar. She was chasing.She lunged.The first punch came fast, but I slipped outside it.The second followed immediately and I ducked under it.She didn’t stop.She wanted to hurt me now.When she charged at me I saw an opening.I planted my feet and my fist shot forward causing Heather’s own momentum to drive her face straight into my fist.Crunch.The sound echoed through the ring. Heather staggered backward.Blood burst from her nose almost immediately.Silence fell upon the training grounds.Heather slowl

  • Alpha Mordecai: Love & Obsession   Chapter 68

    Willow’s POVHeather rushed in again, faster this time.“Stop running.”I watched her right foot.It shifted.I moved left before the punch arrived, and her fist passed the side of my ribs instead of slamming into them. The hit grazed me again, and it still hurt, but it was not the same as the clean shots from earlier.Her elbow caught my shoulder as she passed. It wasn't much, but it reminded me that seeing an attack wasn't the same as escaping it. I straightened and kept my distance.A quiet realization had dawned on me.I was not going to beat Heather. It was just the plain truth. She had a wolf, more strength, more training, and she had years of practice. If I tried to go on the offensive, it would only mean hurting myself.That was not going to work.So I changed the goal entirely.I stopped thinking about how to win and started thinking about how to stay on my feet long enough.Heather threw a jab. I saw it before her arm moved. I stepped back and the jab hit the air.She follo

  • Alpha Mordecai: Love & Obsession   Chapter 67

    Willow’s POVThe woman’s name, I learned from someone in the crowd, was Heather.I learned this because someone behind me said, very clearly, “Heather’s going to flatten her.”Another voice added, “I give her forty seconds.”“Thirty,” someone countered.I stepped fully into the ring.Heather was already rolling her neck, loosening her shoulders with the posture of someone who had done this hundreds of times.She looked at me the way people looked at something mildly inconvenient. I was not even a real threat to her, just something to deal with quickly so she could move on with her day.Part of me knew that without a doubt.I had watched Heather fight before. She was good. Not Hela-level, but she was genuinely skilled, controlled and efficient.If I had been in my right mind when I issued this challenge, I would have chosen literally anyone else.But I had not been in my right mind. I had been standing there for a week with frustration piling up under my skin, and this woman had stood

  • Alpha Mordecai: Love & Obsession   Chapter 66

    Willow’s POVI went to the training grounds that evening because I needed something to do with my hands that didn’t mean working in the garden.The garden calmed me. Today I didn’t want to be calm.I stood at the edge of the ring and watched two warriors spar. The watching helped a little, as I tracked the rhythm, the footwork and the patterns the way I always did. For a few minutes my mind went quiet.Then a voice came from my left.“Enjoying the view?”I glanced sideways.A woman I recognized from my walks with Hela. I had seen her a handful of times. She had dark hair, with crossed arms, and the expression of someone who had something to say and had been waiting for an occasion to say it.I looked back at the ring. “Yes.”“It must be nice,” the woman continued. “Getting to walk around like you own the place, and standing here like one of us.”“I’m watching a fight,” I said, my voice even.“I’m just saying.” The woman’s voice was light, sounding almost casual. “It’s interesting. You

    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 sa

    Willow’s POVWhen 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 happe

    Willow’s POVSomeone was carrying me. I was too deep in sleep to be completely sure.I could sense it through the fog of sleep, like it was happening far away.I could feel strong arms and warmth. An intoxicating scent drifted into my nose, something dark and warm. Cedar and something else I could
