ANMELDENCHAPTER THIRTY-SEVENWILLOW’S POVI'm still trembling mildly from my encounter with Beta Kane and Eleanor. I don’t like to imagine what would have become of me if Beta Kane had not showed up when he did. And that ridiculous accusation Eleanor’s made against me! Goddess, only you know how you wired that woman’s brain. She always thinks only the worst of people. She’s foul and despicable, I hate her with every nerve in my body!“You’re fucking him, right?”They say speak of the devil and he shall appear.“Eleanor, I swear to the goddess, if you don’t stop that ridiculous accusation right now!”“What are you going to do?” She folds her hands over her breasts and strikes a post, shooting me a daring glare. “Beat me up? Run to your lover, A.K.A, the Beta and report me?”I am stunned to the point of speechlessness. I stay frozen on my spot as I stare at her, my eyes blinking rapidly from shock and disbelief. Eleanor really is the worst.“Cat got your tongue?” She asks, smirking. I want to w
KILLIAN’S POV“Did you know that Willow is being bullied by Eleanor?” Kane asks the moment he barges into my office and I don’t know if the sudden terrible churning in the pit of my stomach is the manifestation of my anger towards him for barging into my office like this without permission or if it’s because of what he just said. I straighten up my spine and stare right at him. He’s almost fuming with rage.“What?” I ask, trying hard to remain calm.“Right under your nose! I literally watched her grab Willow's hair with both her hands and yanked her head backwards like she was a slave. And as if that’s not enough, I also just found out that you made her your personal servant. Does she need to be rescued from that castle? Because it seems as though she’s going through it with all of you!”“I have a reason for making Willow my personal servant.” I say gruffly once he’s done blabbering.The reason why I made Willow my personal servant is because I want her by my side at all times when I’
CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVEWILLOW’S POVGoing to the laundry room and not meeting the same maids who physically assaulted me made my entire day. I have no idea where they are or what made them not to show up today, but I pray they never do. The entire time I was in the room, the new maids avoided talking or even interacting with me like I was a plague, but I didn’t mind. I’d take that over being beaten up and insulted any day. I hope this set stays and the other bullies never come back.“Is that Willow?” A familiar voice asks and I turn abruptly towards the entrance of the garden. Beta Kane comes into view and something like a smile flashes across his face as he starts making his way towards me. I do the same and we meet halfway. “Willow! Hello!” He greets in a very cheerful tone that makes it impossible for me not to reciprocate his smile.How is it possible that he’s the Beta of the greatest pack in the world when he’s got such a bubbly, sunshine personality? And how come Alpha Killian’s d
KILLIAN’S POV“Speak.” I calmly instruct and the guard bowing before me and he gently raises his head to address me.“My Lord, Miss Willow has just arrived at the castle safely.”I harden my expression to keep my smile of satisfaction from slipping. She’s home and safe. Now I can breathe properly. I’m still unsure whether the public announcement I made about choosing another mate for myself has succeeded in diverting “Their” attention from Willow, that’s why I keep tabs on her at all times. Even after sending her out with two of my best bodyguards to act as her driver and chaperone, I instructed my Gamma to tail them and I was on high alert, ready to show up if anything had gone wrong. Willow doesn’t know it, but even at the castle, I have people watching her, making sure nothing unusually harmful befalls her.“What about the maids I sent for?”“They have arrived. Shall I send them in, My Lord?”“Immediately.” He gives me a curt bow and exits the office. The issue I’m about to addres
WILLOW’S POV“We have arrived.” My chaperone announces after he opens the door for me and I mumble a quiet “thank you” to him as I step down from the car. I’m a bit shocked to see that we are in the private underground parking lot of the building which makes me wonder why we didn't use the front entrance like everyone else. “This way please.”I quietly follow him to the elevator, which takes us to the twenty-third floor of the building. The moment the elevator doors open, three young girls about my age, all of whom are dressed in formal midnight-blue skirt suits, come into view at the doorway.“You’re welcome to BDU shopping mall, Miss Willow.” Says the girl standing between the other two. “My name is Anita and these are my colleagues, Mandy and Laura. We will be assisting you with the Alpha’s King’s shopping today.”I look up at my chaperone, confused.“It’s fine. You can go with them. I’ll be back in three hours to pick you up.” He gently assures me and I nod and step out of the ele
WILLOW’S POVI’m still badly shaken from the shock of what just happened between Alpha Killian and me by the time I exit his bedroom. My mind is jumbled with strange thoughts and unanswered questions. I’m able to find my way to my bedroom solely on muscle memory because my mind is in a foreign land.What was that jolt of electricity that hit me whenever our bodies touched? The emotion that flooded through my body in that instant was unlike anyone I have ever felt before. It was intense, yet sweet and oddly soothing. The tension that hung in the air when our eyes connected. The jittery feeling in my chest. The hundreds of butterflies that took flight in my stomach whenever I inhaled his scent.Alpha Killian has always smelled heavenly, but the scent I perceive from him now is different from that which I used to perceive before he marked me. And Kiera won’t stop insisting that he is our mate. But the way he treats us says otherwise. A Were is supposed to love, protect and care for his s
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
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
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
