LOGINAn hour went by, and the house was Silent. The omega dosed up against the wall, heavy dark circles underneath her eyes. I still didn't know her name. She kept her frail arms crossed over her belly protectively. The sight of how full she was made me uneasy. How will she be able to run if we try to escape? What if she fell on his stomach, hurting the pup? So many horrible thoughts raced through my mind when suddenly a loud boom rang out. The omega and I were startled, both looking toward the door. Another bang, and then we saw that the metal door was denting. Another, and another. I shrieked as it broke, sending the door flying into the room. It missed both of us, but I still hid behind my hands. "Oh, willow, my baby girl," my father's voice rang out and I dared to look at the intruder. My heart filled with affection and I leapt up, running into his arms. "Daddy.!" I sobbed, burying my face in his ches
"Dad, at least I need to see," I begged my father, who was rifling through Eric's kitchen drawers to find something for Ria to eat. The poor omega looked ashen, a thin body of bones in Jake's arms. He couldn't stop staring at his mate, completely mesmerized. Ria kept her eyes shut, holding her heavy stomach weakly "You will do no such thing. This is a battle, Willow. It has nothing you should have to witness," "My mate is out there, fighting for me. For us!" "Your father is right. It's going to scare you," Luke interjects. "Luke, I was mutilated in a cellar for the majority of my childhood. I am already scarred," I snapped back. I regretted it as soon as I saw the pained expression that overtook my father's features. But what could I do? It was the truth. Luke had no idea how to respond, scratching at his head and staring at a stain on the wall like it was the most interesting thing he ha

"I'm sorry, willow. I'm sorry," his tone was full of regret. "Are you? Do you-do you even love me?" I sobbed, throwing more and more stuff at the bag, not even looking at what the items are anymore. "What? Why would you even say that?!" "Because that man who just fucking shouted at me out there didn't seem like he didn't!" I yell, digging my nails back into the bloody crescents that I previously stamped into my palms. I knew what I was saying wasn't true. I knew he loved me. But the toxic part of me wanted him to feel so guilty and bad for getting mad at me that I didn't care anymore. "I do love you. I love you more than anything," he pleaded as he walked into the room, but I shook my head. "Don't try and stop me. I'm going back to Ralph. To someone I can trust." I knew the last part was a low blow, but I
