Hello everyone. I just want to thank all my readers, especially those who have been following until the end. It's been a long journey. In fact, I believe this book, from start to finish, took almost 7 months, which is a long time. Again, I'm grateful to have all of you.
Now, onto what I intend to do next. I have several ideas, but currently I hope to start on Asa Peterson's story. It's going to be about Willow and Maverick's daughter, but with a twist.
Instead of being a direct sequel to Luna's Revenge: Willow Baker's Marriage Request, it follows the first life after Willow dies and basically runs almost parallel with it. As such, there might be some spoilers, but it's not required to read both books. They're both standalones.
I really hope to get this story off the ground. However, I do have other stories so we'll see how everything works out.
Anyway, thank you all again for reaching the end with me. I hope that you all continue following me and have a great day.
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
Maverick Peterson POVThe prickling sense of unease that persisted in the back of my mind kept me from focusing on the document in front of me. Setting it aside, I stood up and threw on my coat.As I stepped outside, the servants nearby bowed their heads before returning to what they were doing.'Hurry Maverick.''What do you sense, Shadow?'The demon blood in my veins enhanced my werewolf half's senses to the point where I could know what was happening at the edges of my territory. It had reached the point where I blocked it all out to stop the sensory overload and left it to my inner wolf to let me know what was happening.'There are werewolves near the border by Prerana.'I grimaced.That place was disgusting to say the least. One trip had been enough to solidify my opinion that my ancestors were right to break away from the kingdom and create their own country.The memory of dark brown hair and dark brown eyes flashed before me before receding into the background.Well, the trip h
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
Maverick Peterson POVStopping what I was doing, I glanced at my surroundings. It felt like I had been doing something else, but I was drawing a blank, which was completely unnatural. With demon blood, I shouldn't be having memory problems.'What's wrong, Maverick?''What was I doing?''You were going over the documents your father assigned you to look over.''Doesn't something feel off?''No? Perhaps you have been pushing yourself too hard.'I grimaced.That didn't sound right, but I couldn't think of any reason for the dissonance I was experiencing. It felt as if I was supposed to be in mourning, except no one in the family died recently. I couldn't think of any friends or servants who had died recently.It was quite perplexing, to say the least. Perhaps father would be able to tell me what was wrong if Shadow didn't have any answers.Anything Shadow couldn't help with meant that the problem was a demon issue and not a werewolf one.Setting aside the papers and making sure everythin
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 POV"You ungrateful bitch, where were you? You were gone for two days," Rose shrieked into my ear as she yanked on my hair.I kept myself from flinching and answered, "I was feeling unwell, so I thought it was best not to stick around. I wouldn't want the young miss to get sick because of me."She shoved me aside with a sniff and studied my figure. "You finally lost weight, you pig. You must have made yourself sick by stuffing your face with food. That's what you get," she said with a high-pitched laugh.Remaining silent, I could feel my nails digging into the palms of my hands. Last time, I didn't have any difficulty letting her words flow past me. What I thought hadn't mattered I just needed to do as I was told.Now I wanted to slap her and pull on her hair to show her exactly what it felt like. I wasn't the only one she harassed, but I was her favorite punching bag. I never went against her, and no one would have cared if anything happened to me except for Sheila.'I s
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 POVOne Week Later'Finally. I thought we would never leave that damn place.'I didn't reprimand her for her language. She wasn't wrong. It had taken an extra week before I could sneak away to visit Sheila and Asa. Even though I had warned them ahead of time, I'm certain that they were worried about me.Well, at least Sheila and my baby, not Rickey.Knocking on the door, I waited for Sheila to answer the door. The moment she laid eyes on me, she herded me inside as she patted me down and inspected me for injuries."Thank goodness." She breathed a sigh of relief when she found nothing wrong. "What happened?""I have something I need to tell you two," I said without hesitation.Her small smile turned into a frown at my words, and she rushed to grab her husband. We settled into the living room as I held onto Asa.
