LOGINWILLOW’S POV“Can we continue? We’ll go slower this time.” Gamma Axel asks and we both nod at him in agreement.“I’d really appreciate that, thank you.”We start jogging again and as promised, they are slower this time. Alpha Killian is almost walking.We finally arrive at the outdoor training field and my jaw drops from the size of it. It is massive. It’s also well illuminated and under the white bulbs, the green carpet grass makes the entire place look very beautiful. There’s not a thing amiss about anything in this castle. Everything from the buildings, to the various facilities down to the furniture was created with extreme precision and mindfulness.I’m panting like I just finished a marathon race and just as I’m about to sit on the grass and rest, after Killian catches me halfway down and hoists me back on my feet. I shoot him a horrified look.“I know you’d do anything to cancel this training session, but you’re not fainting on my watch. Walk around for a bit and calm your hear
WILLOW’S POV“TURN IT OFF!” Maddy screeches like a bird that has been set on fire. An aggravating sound that grates on my nerves as I click the stop icon on my phone alarm. One would hear her screams and think I rang a church bell right over head. My alarm isn’t even a loud blasting sound, it’s quite gentle and only serves the purpose of waking me up on time since I’m a light sleeper. “Can’t I have a moment of peace with you in this room? Why do you need to be up at four in the morning? That stupid alarm of yours just disrupted my sleep!” She crashes out, fuming like an angry beast and all I can do is shoot her an apologetic look and say sorry as many times as possible.“I’m so sorry. I’m sorry.”She grunts and falls back on her bed while I leave for the bathroom to brush my teeth.Once I’m done, I come back into the room, change into my sports attire and grudgingly leave the bedroom, cursing the fact that I have to leave my warm bed for a morning run with Gamma Axel.The training on
WILLOW’S POV“Are you done eating?” I ask Alpha Killian who’s now watching TV in the sitting area. I think I should have held back from announcing my presence so soon and just watched him afar for a while longer because I like what I’m seeing. It’s a wholesome sight to Alpha Killian in pajamas, all relaxed and comfortable on a sofa in the sitting area of his bedroom, watching the news. It’s moments like this that remind of the fact that he’s not just an all powerful and dangerous Alpha, but a normal person too.A very handsome person.“Yes, Willow. I’m done. You can clear the dishes.”His response makes my stomach growl with excitement. It’s finally time for me to have my own dinner.I head over to the table and start placing the dishes and plates on my tray while doing my best to ignore his intoxicating scent and raging hormones that always seem to take over me whenever I’m in his presence. I have learned to keep all these at bay anytime I’m close to him, but it doesn’t mean I’ve go
WILLOW’S POVIt comes as a shock to me when I successfully make it all the way to my usual unoccupied booth and sit down with my food without someone trying to trip me. The snarky comments from my fellow colleagues still come through, but they are not as frequent and intense as before. It seems that as time goes on, they are losing interest in me which is refreshing to know.I take out my cellphone and scroll through my favorite social media app as I eat.If everyone here didn’t hate me so much, I would have met the chefs and gave them compliments on their cooking skills. They make very delicious meals for us servants.“You think because you are the personal servant to the Alpha, you’re above everyone here, don’t you?” A female voice asks from in front of me and I look up from my plate to see who it is. The name tag on her uniform reads Andrea and her face looks very familiar. I’m sure she lives on the same floor as Maddy and I, together with the two other girls flanking her and givin
WILLOW’S POV“I’m deeply impressed by the speed at which you learn and adapt to the combat techniques I teach you. Keep it up.”Those words from Gamma Axel have been replaying in my mind like a broken record ever since I returned from training and I can’t stop smiling and feeling proud of myself. A compliment was the last thing I expected to receive from him, given his austere reputation. It’s been less than 2 weeks since we started training, but I’ve been able to perfect my stances and learned new ones that he’s taught me. By the time one-month elapses, I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to make a graceful attack against an opponent and win. I cannot wait.“Willow!” A voice shouts my name the moment I step out of my bedroom into the hallway. I turn to see who just called me and my heart takes a leap when I see the same group of girls whom I overheard talking about Maddy in the bathroom last night. Neither is wearing a friendly look as they approach me and I just know I’m about to get thre
WILLOW'S POVHe offers in a very calm and kind tone which cajoles me into accepting his offer, but then I recall how upset I am with him and shake my head.“No.” I deny blatantly.“I insist.”I pick up the tray and look at him.“What would be the essence of me sitting down to eat dinner with you when I won’t enjoy the meal or even properly digest it because of how nervous I’ll be the entire time? It’ll only get me constipated and of what benefit would that be to me?”I answer coldly and watch him deflate on his seat like an airless balloon. If I didn’t know how much he despised me, I’d say those words hurt him.“That will be all. You can leave.” He calmly dismisses me and I don’t hesitate to leave the bedroom.I let out a giant exhale once I’m in the hallway and gently pat my chest a few times in an attempt to calm my raging heartbeats. As the days go by, my interactions with Alpha Killian become more heated and nerve racking. I don’t think I’m going to survive being his personal serv
CHAPTER NINEWILLOW’S POVI am a priced lamb being prepped for sacrifice.Well, part of that statement is untrue. Alpha Killian didn’t pay a price for me. I was offered to him free of charge. Therefore, I’m just a lamb being prepped for sacrifice. An unpriced lamb.That’s the only thought running t
CHAPTER TENWILLOW’S POVIt’s the D-day.There are even more servants at my service. I’ve been served even better food and taken to places I had only imagined to exist in my dreams and wildest fantasies. The pity in the eyes of the servants as they attend to me is unmistakable.After today, I will
CHAPTER TENI swear if I’m asked that question one more time tonight, I’ll crash out.“Eleanor said…”“Aren’t you cold?” He quickly cuts me off.“I’m freezing, actually.”“The closet is over there.’ He says pointing to a door on my left. “Go in, take that off and put on whatever will keep you warm
KILLIAN’S POV“You ignored her! You sent your guards to stop her from following us. How could you do that?” My wolf, Knox, screams in my mind like he’s been doing ever since that very awkward encounter with Willow in the living room. I shut him out, down the whiskey in my hold and slam the glass on
