LOGINWillow“It’ll be fine,” Violet grips my hand tighter. “Aiden’s waiting up there for you. His opinion is the one that matters. He’s choosing to be with you, regardless of what his parents think. You’re lucky babe. If I had someone willing to fight for me, I wouldn’t ever dream of letting him go.”“Do you want us to go up with you?” Ginny pops her head in from the back seat. Violet had texted her, informing her about the Grace situation. Then, she showed up shortly after, for moral support. “Don’t worry. We won’t let Aiden know we’re there. I just would really like to see him propose to you.”“I’m gonna have to go with Ginny on this one,” Violet smiles. “I’ve never witnessed a proposal before. Besides, this isn’t just a regular proposal. It’s our esteemed hockey captain, getting down on one knee and sacrificing himself on the altar of corniness.”Ginny laughs at that. “She’s right. It’s not something we want to miss. Please, Willow?”“Fine.” I sigh but I’m smiling now. After the rough c
TheoI switched on Mitch because of how impatient he was getting. All he cared about was getting Rowan out of confinement and in the long run, it would have ruined my plans. If I had killed Aiden tonight, it would have been traced back to me. And if that happened, there was no way Spencer was going to allow me inherit shit— son or not.But I had played along with Mitch, made him believe that we were partners, working towards a common goal. In the end, we weren’t. All he cared about was Rowan.Aiden isn’t really thinking about the proposal anymore. The romantic surprise he’d put together lays forgotten for a moment and all he can talk about is how Mitch had managed to infiltrate our lives with no one being any the wiser. The fact that he’s talking to me, of all people, about this proves that he trusts me now. I proved myself to him tonight. I also take it a step further by telling him the whole truth. Well, my version of the truth. I spin a story about how Mitch was working with re
Darla“My mother is where?” Aiden looks taken aback by what I’ve just told him.He flares up instantly, the way I knew he would. He is so predictable with his reactions, especially when they come to Willow Thompson. If he keeps this up all night, he’ll be quite easy to kill.“She’s at miss Thompson’s place,” I tell him, acting like it distresses me to give him this information. But in truth, I’ve never been happier. “Why is she there? What does she plan to accomplish?”We’re on the balcony of the hotel that lover boy has chosen for his romantic proposal tonight. There are flowers arrangements and balloons.A dome structure is coated with even more flowers. There are fire lilies lighting up the night sky, giving the roof an ethereal look.Fireworks are already on standby to go off the second Willow Thompson says yes to his proposal.I hope by then, he’ll be dead.Aiden moves towards the railing and dials what I think is his mother’s number. While he waits for her to answer, he asks m
Willow“He asked you to dress fancy? And he refused to tell you where you guys are going?” Violet squeals out loud. “Oh my goodness. Willow, please tell me you know what this is.”“He’s gonna propose, girl” Ginny puts words to the thoughts that has been on my mind since yesterday. I’m on video call with Ginny. Violet is grinning at me from the sofa. “I have a strong feeling that’s what’s gonna happen.” I let out a deep breath. “But hold on a minute guys. Is it alright for him to be doing this without having the talk with me first?”“What’s there to talk about?” Violet snorts. “Like you both aren’t already promised to each other.”“I know that. It’s just the timing. After what happened with the lycan princess yesterday, I don’t know. I feel weird now. I worry that he might be proposing tonight because of her.”“Even if that’s the case, it’s Aiden. He loves you. End of discussion.”“I still can’t believe you met princess Yvette yesterday and it ended up with her threatening you.” Ginny
AidenWillow’s not picking up her phone. I’m at her place. Already called her aunt, and she said Willow already left the manor hours ago. I try Ginny next. “Sorry Aiden. I haven’t spoken to Willow all day. I’m actually on a date right now. Is this urgent? Do you need me to try to reach her?”“Don’t worry about it.” I say. “Go back to your date.”“I could try.”“It’s fine. Sorry I interrupted your good time.” I hang up. Violet can’t be reached either. I’ve got no choice but to wait until they both show up. I know I’m being worried for nothing. They are both adults. They must have gone out together and are most likely having a good time. I’m the one who’s anxious. I’m the one who’s desperate to see her; to reassure her that our relationship will work itself out. It doesn’t matter that Yvette is the lycan princess. She doesn’t hold a candle to Willow. Finally, around eight pm, they finally show up, reeking of alcohol. I was right. They had gone out to have fun. They stumble into
WillowI’m not gonna lie. After the collision, I was expecting gunshots to follow. It wouldn’t be the first time that someone had followed me and tried to harm me.“Hey Willow. Are you okay?” Violet reaches for me. Her eyes are scanning my body for injuries. Possible bullet holes.“I’m fine,” I reassure her, doing the same; checking her for injuries.We’re both fine. The rear end of my car is not though.Violet is the first one out of the car. She goes over to the other car and starts yelling loud enough for everyone to hear. “Hey. What the hell kind of driving is that? Do you have any fucking idea whose car you just thrashed?”“Violet,” I grab her shoulders, pulling her back. The other car is a rolls Royce. The werewolf standing in front of us seems to be the driver.Why isn’t he apologizing though?“Look at you just standing there.” Violet hisses. “Perhaps we should report this to the lycan authorities, Willow. Let’s see how he likes it when he has to spend a whole night in the dun
WILLOWThe crowd is still cheering. Aiden is still waiting for me to say something.“I’m guessing this is about my… brother.” He whispers the words right beneath my ear, running his fingers along my butt cheeks.What the hell is he doing? I guess I put myself in this situation— to be groped and fon
