Willow spread her hands as the breeze loving danced to the melody of the wind which occasionally caressed her arms and neck.Her hair gracefully played in harmony with the wind."Is this really necessary?" Rowan chuckled, adoringly looking at her."Did I complain about dinner?" She closed her eyes and took a deep breath."You said you loved it!""Would you like it if I complained? I had to make you feel good because you put your efforts into the whole thing" She smiled."You didn't let me take you to nice restaurant" "That's just corny besides, you claimed you can cook" "I can""I wanted to see for myself," She shrugged."And what do you think?" He stepped in front of her."I'll give you a six" She smiled."And don't I deserve some kinda reward?""What do you want?""You know exactly"Slow laughed and kissed him on the cheek."Really? That's what I get for cooking for you and walking you back home? I literally left my comfortable Mercedes" He pouted his lips.She kissed his jaw."Ha

Terra shouted.Willow smiled because of the joy she heard in her mother's voice.She sounded happy and energetic. Just like old times."Willow!" Terra tightly hugged her daughter.No tears, okay."Hey mum" She kissed her mother on the cheeks."How are you? I thought you'll never stop by. How's Iris? Stella was just

Willow patiently watched her mother.She knew she was thinking of a lie so whatever comes out of her mouth next would be a lie."Because it's nothing. No one really knows" Terra shrugged."Mum. I don't want lies" She stood up. "It's important you tell me because…" Willow breathed."What's wrong?""Because I'm in love with Jordan" Willow briefly closed her eyes.This was the first time she openly accepted her feelings. She knew she felt something for him but Star made her realize it was nothing but love.If Star clearly saw it, why did it take her so long to accept it?"You love him?" Terra knocked her out of her thoughts."Yes, I do. So this will be a good time to tell me whatever you're trying to hide" Willow walked back to her seat."Every supreme wolf has three lifetimes" Terra started."But a single sacrifice of a rare breed of wolf can end all the three lifetimes" Terra sighed. "Ralph, Jordan's father sacrificed himself for Woodville""Why? To kill dad?""To kill Leviathan," Terr

(Willow's POV) I was determined to show him, if not tell him exactly how I felt about him. If you need anything from someone like Jordan, you don't ask but take it. And that's exactly what I was doing. What I felt for him was overwhelming but exciting. I didn't know how or when it happened but now I know and I've fully accepted. He needed to know what I feel for him and I'm very sure he has an idea. I didn't know where I got the audacity to make the move but I did and I don't regret it at all. His lips melted in mine and for a second, I was afraid because I waited for him to push me away but instead, he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer. The heat radiating from him only encouraged me to go on. All I wanted was to feel his naked body on mine. He took his lips away from mine and placed it on my burning neck trailing quick hickeys along my neck, shoulders and jaw. Claiming my lips again, he lifted me into his arms and slowly placed me on the grass. I found his buttons and

(Willow's POV)Something that isn't yours can never be yours.That is one of the laws of life.Even if you manage to get it, you'll lose it in the end.I already understood that Jordan isn't mine and can never be mine.And no matter how hard I tried to accept that fact, I just couldn't.I have deeply fallen for him.I fell so hard that I became a cripple.It was hopeless!A lone tear dropped down my left cheek staining the cold car window.Rowan glanced at me once in a while but I was glad he respected my wish to be left alone.He occasionally squeezed my arm to give me the reassurance I needed. Why didn't I fall for him instead?Why Jordan?Moon goddess, what's all these?Why are you punishing me?On one hand, I have a wonderful soul like Rowan who'd do anything to win me over but on the other, Jordan. Someone that can't even stand me.So why make me love him?"We are here," Rowan announced. "Iris is waiting for you and she looked distraught"All I need is one hug from Iris and I'l

Japh walked into a boutique and looked around. He was determined to make Iris talk to him. It was clear that she was avoiding him. "How can I help you sir?" A lady walked up to him. "Iris. Is she around?" He asked. "Yes. She is in the store room. Her shift just ended" The lady smiled. "Thank you so much" He smiled back and headed in the direction of the store room. "Sir? You can't go in there" The lady followed him. "I won't take long. Please let me in" He pleaded. She looked around and leaned in towards him. "Just don't take long. My boss will soon be here" Japh gave her a grateful smile and walked away. He slowly pushed the door open and peeped. Iris was putting some things in her bag. He quietly walked to her and hugged her from behind which made her jump out of fright. "Hey, it's just me sweetie" He kissed her neck. "I wanted to surprise you" He kissed her shoulder. "You could have called or dropped by the house" She picked her purse but he didn't let her go. "So

Some things are worth fighting for and sometimes, you need to put that extra effort in order to get what you want.Vulnerability.Sometimes, you just need to be prone to rejection. Open up yourself with no defenses even when you have a lot to lose.It represents strength.But also weakness. To those who have built defenses because they are too afraid to get hurt. The 'tough' ones.But then, what is the use of these defenses when *"You love me but that's not enough for me" He said. "No Iris, I won't even lie to you. It's not enough for me" Japh briefly looked at the sky. "I want to wake up and have you by my side. Corny, but that's just how I feel. I don't want to feel like I'm gonna lose you at anytime" He brought out the velvet ring box.Iris gasped and her hand slowly covered her mouth as more tears dropped."I want to call you mine with no doubt. I want to pick you up from work and listen to everything you have to say about your day. I want you to hug me when I claim to be busy

Two years later. "C'mon guys! Just one more shot!" Iris raised a shot glass. The bar was hardly full but the noise from their table was loud enough to make the bar lively. "And to think some of us have children" Willow poured more shots for her friends. "I know you're not talking about me" Iris gulped down her shot and asked for more. "You are drinking too much Iris" Rowan took the bottle away from her. "Do you think having kids is a piece of cake? Try it once" She stole Willow's shot. "What will they think when you come back home drunk?" Willow asked. "They won't think anything because they won't see anything. Japh promised to look after them" She hiccupped."But he decided to join us" "Star volunteered to babysit them" Japh defensively said. "That's because you begged her to watch your kids," Willow said. "She wanted to come out with us today" "She loves children besides, she didn't complain" Japh shrugged. "Can you get me sex in the city?" Iris whispered into her husband
