LOGINCHAPTER 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.“Josh” I call back icily, making sure to match his stoic expression. With the way he’s looking at me, I can tell he has spoken with Maddy and he knows I’m the one who blew the alarm on them. My heart is hammering in my chest and panic is doing backflips in my bones, but I suck in a deep breath and maintain my cool.I cannot show any fear right now, else I’m cooked.“A little bird told me you’re the reason why I’m in this mess.”“Is by any chance, that little bird called the Nazi around here?”His shoulders shake as a dark chuckle escapes his chest and he inches closer to me. I steel my spine and lock into his piercing gaze.“I underestimated you and judged you wrongly.”“Did you now?” I ask with an amused smile.“I thought you to be one of the attention-seeking freaks who would do anything for male attention, but I guess I was wrong.”“I’m glad we are finally on the same page on this issue.”“Stop acting so confident and fearless, I’m not here to shake hands with you on
WILLOW’S POVTHE NEXT DAYNo training today means I can make it in time for lunch at the cafeteria. Normally, I would go to the chefs in the main castle and ask them to make me something to eat, but I want an update on the Maddy situation and the cafeteria is the best place for me to get it. I left early this morning to go serve Alpha Killian and have been in my room ever since I got back. I'm not really informed on what’s going on, but that’s about to change.As I stand by waiting for the elevator, Joana joins me.“Good morning, Joanna” I greet, flashing her a cheerful smile and she ignores me, to the surprise of no one. The elevator finally arrives and opens up and we both step in. She presses the button, one, as the door closes and our ride begins.“With the way you keep smiling, I feel like my suspicions are right.” She looks at me. “You’re the one who’s responsible for what happened to Maddy, aren’t you?”Normally, I would ignore her because she ignored my greeting a while ago, b
KILLIAN'S POVI instruct and immediately cut off the link, making sure to mentally bar him from trying to reach out to me because I don’t have time to deal with his questions and objections right now. There’s a matter concerning my mate that I have to solve and it takes precedence over anything.I
WILLOW'S POVMy heart stops and the shock of his accurate words steals all the air from my lungs. My knees suddenly turn jelly, causing me to lose my balance for a brief second and as I stumble back. I clamp my hands over my mouth, eyes wide in disbelief and blinking rapidly.“Ha…ha… how did you kn
WILLOW’S POV“What you just did is considered an act of gross insubordination and I can have you severely punished for that!” Alpha Killian threatens in rage as he storms into the closet, drenched from head to toe. He didn’t even bother drying himself before tying his towel around his waist. His je
WILLOW’S POV“We have arrived” Katherine announces the moment the car comes to a halt and soon, my side of the passenger seat door is opened by my escort. The grand banquet hall building comes into view and I can see the beautifully illuminated entrance which is a few meters from the driveway.“Wil
