Chance’s POV When Beta Shawn had called me and told me that our pack had been attacked by rogues, I was glad that I had agreed to be allies with Blood Moon pack. I never thought that the rogues would have gotten so far into my lands already and I wondered how they had gotten so far south from their last attack so soon. One thing I did know is that I needed to make a plan to get them the hell off my lands and keep my pack safe. I was thankful that my warriors were able to respond so quickly and that no one from my pack was hurt. Beta Shawn didn’t give me all the details over the phone on what transpired but what I do know is that everyone was safe and the rogues were not a threat at the moment. As my SUV pulled up the lane to the packhouse I could clearly see my warriors on edge and I wondered if it was worse than what Beta Shawn was telling me over the phone. Getting out of the vehicle I walked quickly up the steps and into the packhouse to my office hoping that Beta Shawn was wait
Willow’s POV The door to my room was locked and I was packing what little belongings I had brought with me to Red Moon. I had to get out of here before Alpha Chance came after me for freezing him. It was the first time that I had ever frozen someone but I had to do it to protect Beta Shawn from getting further hurt from him. I never would have imagined that Alpha Chance would be so aggressive like he was. The last time I saw him he seemed so nice and kindhearted, but today he was like a rabid animal. All my dreams of a new start at a new pack just crashed before my eyes and like my mother said I had nowhere to go and no one would want me. The reality was setting in and I felt a tear slide down my cheek knowing that she was right. I was foolish for thinking that I could leave and start a new beginning somewhere else where I could finally be happy. Grabbing my bag, I moved towards the door and listen closely for any movement before I opened the door and headed for the back staircase
Willow’s POV It couldn’t be. Why would the Moon Goddess do this to me? Why would she give me a mate that I feared? I just couldn’t believe this was happening to me. My wolf whimpered within me as my thoughts went to, this can’t be and how do I reject him as my mate. There was no way that I was going to be in another situation where I would be emotionally hurt again. I had seen firsthand how he acted just a short time ago and I feared that he would be physically abusive too and I wouldn’t allow that to happen. Without thinking I said, “Reject me.” As I lowered my gaze back to the ground not wanting to look at him any longer. “What?” Alpha Chance said not understanding what I just asked of him. “Reject me, please.” I said as the tears started to fall from my eyes. “Willow, I can’t and I won’t reject you. I waited so long for you.” Alpha Chance says to me in a gentle voice and it is like he is a totally different man then the man that was in his office not too long ago. “Please.” I
Willow’s POV Stepping off the patio I begin to strip my clothes off in front of Alpha Chance. He was my Alpha and my mate and I am sure that I would be naked in front of him in the future if I decided to stay. Nakedness in front of another wolf or hybrid is something I quickly got used to training as a warrior but as I stand in front of Alpha Chance with his eyes on me something feels so different about this act of being naked in front of him. As he pulls his own clothes off in front of me, I take in the caramel tone of his flesh and his perfect sculptured body that only the gods should have. His dark hair looked tasseled as if his shirt must have hit against it as he pulled it over his head and his green eyes now stared at me with desire in them. He took a step towards me and I took off running, shifting within the first two strides into my wolf. One thing I knew about Alphas was they were huge in wolf form, but I was fast because of my slender build. I took off in the direction o
Willow’s POV My eyes fluttered open as I heard the morning birds singing a beautiful melody outside the open window as the cool morning breeze brushed over my skin. I sat up abruptly looking around the room remembering where I had fallen asleep last night and whose arms I was in but to my surprise I was in my own room in my own bed alone. Was it all a dream? Or had Beta Shawn returned me back to my own room at some point in the night? I touched my lips as if I could still feel his kiss upon them and knew that it couldn’t have been a dream. Removing the thin sheet off my body I noticed I was still in the same outfit that I had on the night before verifying that it had to have happened. Making my way to the bathroom I stripped the clothes I had on from the night before and turned on the water to the shower before stepping in and immersing myself beneath it. As the water ran down over my head and down my body fully awakening me, I realized that I had no clue what the hell I was going
Willow’s POV We stood there for a moment just looking at each other until Beta Shawn went to the edge of the ring and grabbed a pair of basketball shorts to put on. After he pulled the shorts on, he walked over to me and asked, “What are you doing here?” “I thought you said I could join you training.” I said to him confused why he asked me why I was here. “Yes, but you have a ceremony to get ready to attend.” Beta Shawn said and I know that he had spoken with the Alpha this morning. “I’m not going.” I tell him as I cross my arms over my chest. “You have to go.” Beta Shawn tells me and I look at him confused. “Why do I have to go?” I asked him wanting to know his reasoning. “Because everyone is expecting you to be there with your mate.” Beta Shawn says as if it pained him to say the word mate. “How about this, you and I will go head-to-head in the ring and if you win I will go but if I win then I stay here with you.” I told him hoping he would agree to my challenge. He took a
Chance’s POV “Are you sure she is getting ready?” I asked Beta Shawn as I waited in the foyer for Willow to descend the stairs so we could leave for the ceremony. “I sent Izzy to work her magic and you know how Izzy is.” Beta Shawn tells me, and I am now worried for Willow. I loved Izzy like a sister, but I knew how over the top Izzy could be and I worried that she might be too much for Willow. Willow came across as a simple she wolf. I have not once seen her wear makeup or anything lavishing since she had gotten here and I am truly worried that Izzy might make her feel a bit uncomfortable. “I’m not sure sending Izzy was the right thing to do.” Beta Shawn looked at me confused and asked, “Why?” “Because Willow isn’t like that. She never wears makeup and she never has on anything fancy. I think she doesn’t like all of that stuff.” I explain to him but the look on his face tells me something different. “I think she likes that kind of stuff.” Beta Shawn tells me and I am beginning
Willow’s POV Beta Shawn escorted me into the next room where the Lunas were all sitting at a table together. Walking over to the table Luna Eve looked up at me and a look of surprise filled her face. “Willow!” she said as she stood and moved to give me a hug. “You look amazing.” She said as she pulled away from the hug to take a good look at me and then asked, “What are you doing here? Is everything okay?” I was lost for words and I didn’t know what to say. I honestly didn’t know what I was doing here among them all other than I was the mate of Alpha Chance. “Luna was told to come sit with the other Lunas.” I heard Beta Shawn say from beside me. Luna Eve looked at Beta Shawn and then back at me and asked, “Are you mated to Alpha Chance?” I shook my head, yes, still not able to speak. “Willow that is amazing. I am so happy for you. Come sit with us.” Luna Eve said as she pulled me to the table of Lunas. “Ladies this is Willow and she is Alpha Chance’s mate.” “Willow, it is a pleas
