Luna's Revenge: Willow Baker's Marriage Request

Willow Baker POVI gasped for air, leaning against a tree to support myself. My free hand desperately pressed against the bloody wound on my stomach, trying to stop the bleeding. Asa wailed against my chest, unable to understand what was happening but grasping enough to know something was wrong.Why was this happening to me? Where did it all go wrong?The howls spurred me on as I tried to coax Asa to stop crying. Her cries would only make it easier for them to find us if they had not caught our scent already. She just needed to hold on a little longer, and we would be across the border.Branches and leaves crunched underneath my feet as I kept looking behind me for pursuers. Suddenly, I lost my footing and collapsed to the ground, barely avoiding crushing Asa underneath me.Her wailing turned into whimpers, and all I could do was whisper sweet nothings. "Shh, it's okay. Everything is going to be okay."Watery black eyes stared up at me as she reached out to touch my face with her tiny

Willow Baker POVMuffled noises reached my ears.What was that sound?I had thought I had lost my hearing when I could no longer hear those monsters or my baby's cries in my final moments.Had they changed their mind and come back to torment me?Had they decided to heal me just to break me all over again?I deserved it. I deserved it for being a failure as a mother."Willow." The voice sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it. "Willow, you must hold on. Do it for the baby." My baby. My baby needed me. "Push."With my head full of cotton, all I could do was obey the voice's command. I didn't know how or what I was pushing, but I pushed with all my might.A baby's cries cut through the haze, and, for the first time since I regained consciousness, I could clearly see what was happening in front of me.Asa was cradled in another woman's arms. The sight drove my normally silent wolf mad, and I snarled at the woman to return my baby, my pup, to me.The woman didn't seem bothered in the sli

Willow Baker POV"Are you really sure you should be up so soon? You haven't fully recovered," said Sheila as she rocked Asa and hovered over me.I smiled. Seeing her so full of life and worry, I had never been more grateful that the Moon Goddess gave me a second chance and allowed me to see her again. "I'm fine. I shouldn't impose.""Leave her be. She's not a child, Sheila," said Rickey as he drank his coffee.I pretended not to hear him. While I couldn't forgive him for trying to kill my baby in his pursuit for revenge, I knew that grief could drive people mad. Besides, I had already paid him back.My hands shook in my lap as I recalled exactly what I did to him. I can smell his fresh blood scenting the air. His eyes were staring at me with such hatred as his life had been drained out of him."Willow?" The feeling of a hand on my shoulder startled me as I jerked away. Sheila's expression screamed worry. "I think you should rest. You don't look so good."I placed my hand on hers as I

Willow Baker POVOne Month LaterI never knew screwing people over would be so satisfying. No wonder people like Rose did it all the time. It was really satisfying watching the other servants squirm and suffer this past month at the hands of Rose.'I told you.''Hush you.'Since I had already knew firsthand several of their tricks, it was easy to turn their plans around. The best part was that no one knew that I knew what they were up to and was purposefully getting them punished.After all, I was just worthless Willow. The stupid werewolf who submitted to everyone regardless of status whether they were a purebred Alpha or a barely passable Omega, I would always bow my head and do whatever was asked of me. Nothing was too low for me to do.Which was why I was the last person for them to suspect of sowing chaos throughout the househ

Willow Baker POV"Now I think we should have a quick little chat before Sheila gets back," said Rickey.That's when I realized my error.Normally, he would avoid staying in the same room as me unless Sheila was there. Since he didn't like or trust me, he would always stick close by if he could. Now it was just the two of us, ignoring Asa who had no clue what was going on.He had purposely sent Sheila away for whatever he had planned. Nervously holding Asa close, I kept my eyes open for any hostile intent.Instead, he sat back down and clasped his hands together on the table."I don't like you, and you don't like me, but we both obviously care for Sheila." I wasn't sure where he was going with this and didn't lower my guard. "That's why I'm not going to point out that there's something suspicious about what you said."I tried to think of what he meant, but I couldn't come up wi
