LOGINWILLOW’S POV“Why do you look so stunned by the fact that I know that detail about you?”“Because I can’t seem to understand how you know that. You’re never around the castle to see me go there.”“I have my ways.” He brags and my frustration mounts.“Can I know what that way is?”“Does it matter?”“As a matter of fact, yes, it does.” I say firmly, shooting him a stubborn look and hoping he would cave and tell me what I need to know. It’s probably not a big deal, which means he used to find out that I frequent the garden, but my curiosity won’t let me rest and my delusions are starting to take over my mind.Does he have people who monitor and report my every move to him in the castle?If that’s the case, why?Is it because he cares about me? Or because he suspects me of something and wants to make sure I never try to escape from the castle.“Oh look, a flower.” He suddenly exclaims and walks past me behind. I quickly turn around and watch him walk up to a rose flower plant where he plu
WILLOW’S POVI am stunned and speechless as I watch Beta and Gamma Axel come over to meet us. My concern grows even stronger when I realize that Alpha Killian still has his hand on my back. I try to push his hand away, but he resists and keeps it there. I stop fidgeting when the two men approaching us finally arrive in front of us and bow down to Alpha Killian. Once they raise their heads and look at me, I start to bow when it’s my turn to greet them, but to my greatest shock, they bow down their heads to me as well. I shoot Alpha Killian a confused look and he looks back at the men who seem to suddenly realize their mistake and quickly lift their heads.A brief moment of awkward silence ensues before I clear my throat and speak.“Beta Kane and Gamma Axel. It’s such a surprise to see you both here.”“I’m not about to let my Alpha roam about without proper guidance.”“Yeah, that’s enough. Willow, let’s go inside/” Alpha Killian urges as he leads me towards the main entrance of the buil
CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHTWILLOW’S POV“Do you really want me to tell you who you are?”I suck in a deep breath, swallow dryly before nodding in agreement. Without warning, he leans in dangerously close to my face with his, our lips barely inches away from each other’s. The earth stops and spins in another direction and suddenly, I can’t smell anything else but him. Clean, fresh and perfect. How horrible is it that I want him to kiss me right now?“Willow,” This should be the one millionth time he’s calling my name this evening. If I didn’t know better, I’d conclude that the name entices him very much and saying it gives him profound happiness. He’s staring deep into my eyes and I can’t help but wonder why his eyes are shimmering with amusement.There’s nothing amusing about this situation. Only tension.Slowly, gently, he raises his hand to my face and a violent shiver scatters down my spine as his finger gently draws a slow, invisible line from my forehead to the back of my ear as he tuc
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVENWILLOW’S POV“All the meals were very delicious and I enjoyed them. Thank you very much for treating me to dinner.” I tell Alpha Killian calmly after once we’re done eating.“No,” he says, rising along with me from his seat. “I should be the one thanking you for giving me the privilege to have dinner with me.” My brows trip with confusion as I walk a few paces away from the dining area and look at him.Here he goes again with his shocking and confusing words with encrypted meanings. Every time he says something like this, it magnifies the sound of the voice in my head which keeps telling me that there’s something off. There’s something I need to know that Alpha Killian is not telling me.“I… i…” I stutter and nervously scratch the back of my neck. “I don’t think I'm in the position to grant you any sort of privilege, but okay,” I shrug my shoulders. “If you insist.”His shoulders shake as he laughs softly. The soothing sound of his deep, low voice fills the atmosp
WILLOW’S POV“What?” I ask in complete terror of what I’ve just been told. “But that wasn’t the plan.” I say, putting on the red dress she just handed to me.“It is now.” She stops fussing around for a short while and inspects the dress from head to toe before nodding. “Beautiful. Now, come over here.” She holds me by my wrist and takes me over to the vanity where I sit in front of the mirror and she starts styling my hair. The only sounds that can be heard in the room are those of objects colliding with each other and the table as she picks and drops them while doing my hair and a light make up on my face. By the time she’s done, I am very impressed with the image of the girl smiling back at me when I smile into the mirror and Ma’am Katherine looks very proud of her handiwork. The next thing I know, she’s shoving a pair of black heels on my feet before she stands up and does a clap that signifies the end.“Alright, we’re all set. It’s time to go.”“I still don’t know why Alpha Kill
WILLOW’S POV“What?” Shirley asks, still reeling in confusion and I take a step forward towards her. Maybe standing closer to her will clear her mind and make her understand me better.“You just told me you’ve never been jealous of Maddy, yet you wasted no time in taking her place as leader of your little group the second she fell. You claim you’ve always meant well for her, yet you shamed, bullied and humiliated her before a grand audience the second the opportunity presented itself.”“I only did that because she…”“Slept with your boyfriend.” I finish her sentence in a bored tone and scoff. “Do you really believe that lie you keep telling yourself?”“What are you blabbering about?” Her confusion has morphed into annoyance and she’s staring at me wickedly. Now, that’s more like it. This is the Shirley I know and want to interact with.“Maddy’s betrayal is not the main reason why you are acting this way towards her. It’s merely an excuse for you to finally show your true feelings for
WILLOW’S POV“Have you two lost your minds? Fighting like immature toddlers, disrupting the peace of the entire castle.”Ma’am Katherine scolds and I nearly laugh out loud at her ridiculous exaggeration. This castle is gigantic and I doubt if the ruckus we caused back at the lounge disrupted the pe
KILLIAN’S POVMy brain is too broken to process the words Eleanor just uttered.She caught Willow eating my leftovers? What is that even supposed to mean? After I finished my meal, Willow carried those dishes and started eating what was left in them. Is that what Eleanor is trying to tell me right
WILLOW'S POVI beg your first and foremost pardon?I blink a million times in the second from pure shock. Is he giving me his credit card to go on a shopping spree for myself? This is a dream, right?“Willow.” His voice jabs me out of my thoughts and I shake my head in denial.“No. You don’t have
WILLOW’S POVI meet Maddy laying on her bed and scrolling away on her phone when I go back to the bedroom. She doesn’t say a word to me and I’m happy about that even though I doubt there’s anything she can say or do to me today to ruin my day. Not after the amazing compliments I got from both Alpha
