He looked out the French windows with a pen clicking in between his fingers. His current investigation failed and he is stuck. Regardless of how hard he tries, it always leads to a dead end. "Jordan" A man with brown eyes walked in. "What's new?" Jordan swirled his chair to face his beta and friend. "We have nothing" The man replied with a slight bow of his head. "And Willow?" "She is at the river, as usual" "You left her alone? You know she should never be alone" Jordan stood up. He knew he couldn't trust Willow to be on her own. It's either she seeks for trouble or trouble seems to find her so he had to keep a close eye on her. "Don't you think you should bring her here? She is a werewolf" Japh said. "She doesn't belong here. Not every werewolf stays with its pack. Do you know how many wolves choose humanity over their wolf?" "But she wants to be here, that's the difference!" Japh exclaimed. "I know what's best for her because she doesn't know it," Jordan replied. "A
Willow couldn't tell what was happening because she was blinded by tears and speechless with fright.Two of the men shifted but Jordan didn't.One moment she was crying in a corner, the next moment, Jordan and a brown wolf bashed in tossing and stabbing the three drunks who tried to rape her.Jordan looked straight at her. His eyes filled with anger as blood dripped down his hands.As much as she was glad that he saved her, she dreaded going close to him. Something wadded her off but she still found herself wrapping her two shaking hands around him.Japh shifted and put on some of the clothes he found in the cabin. He gave Jordan a cloth to clean his hands.She quietly cried on his chest and for a moment, he let her until he painfully grabbed her arm."I regret ever looking for you" Jordan growled and dragged her out. Japh cautiously followed them."I just wanted to…""You didn't have to do anything!" He let her go with a slight push. "You are a problem!""We need to keep moving guys"
Willow stared at Jordan. He just stood at the door. No expression and no movement. His eyes shifted to her body and back to her face again. Willow cursed herself for wearing his shirt. "Hey Willow" Japh walked into the house. "I'm Japh. Jordan's beta. I couldn't introduce myself earlier due to…" "I understand" She finally took her eyes off Jordan and followed the other man in. "Are you alone?" He hardly looked around. "Yes. Um...They are all out" She said, trying so hard not to look back at Jordan. "How are you?" Japh asked. Willow smiled when she saw the genuine concern in his eyes. She wished Jordan was more like Japh. "I'm good" She said and watched Jordan from the corner of her eyes. He finally walked in but moved as far from the both of them as possible. "Well if you need anything, let me know. I want to help in anyway" Japh slightly tapped her on the shoulder. "Thank you Japh…" "You are coming with us to the pack house. You need to inform your mother right now" Jor
Willow looked around the room.It was bigger than Iris's room and it looked okay to her. Everything was set and neat.The room consists of a bed, side table and a comfy looking wingback chair.The bathroom was connected to a walk in closet and the bathroom windows overlooked a beautiful view of wherever she was.At some point, she thought she'll be living in the woods and eating fresh meat but this is completely comfortable and perfect, too perfect!"Until you receive instructions, don't leave your room. Here's your key" Star said with a straight face and tossed the key at her."Thanks" Willow caught it. "And thanks for showing…" The door slammed shut. "... me around"Willow threw herself in the bed and wondered if everyone's room was nice like hers.This is a new beginning for her. She quietly vowed to do her best and make herself proud."Most especially Jordan"Willow jumped when she heard the voice again."Who are you?" Willow looked around. What is following her? Is she talking to
Jordan and Star chased after the wolves who took Willow. There was nowhere to escape so they were captured and Jordan didn't waste time sinking his teeth into their throats when they refused to provide important information during the interrogation. "I told you to triple your defense! We cannot have them attacking us anytime they want!" Jordan furiously said to Star. "I'm sorry" "I don't want your apology! I want you to do as I say" He walked to the window and watched some wolves clean up the blood on the training grounds. "Star did triple the defense. I think their strategy is to keep attacking until we are weak" Japh said. "If you are so good at strategies, why don't you put that to use and prevent this from happening?" He took a deep breath. "We have pups here. Nothing can happen to them!" He turned to Japh. "Take the pups to Woodville. They are better off staying there. This place is no longer safe for them. Whoever is attacking us is mainly focused on Willow. Star, nothing s
Willow walked to Jordan. "I was just taking a stroll with Japh," She said to him. "Jordan" Rowan called with a smile. "Rowan" Jordan replied but turned to Willow. "Aren't you supposed to be training at this time?" "Isn't too early..." "Go" He ordered. "Can you walk me back?" She asked Japh who happily left with her. "I just brought my boys out for a run" Rowan moved closer to Jordan. "How was Jamaica?" Jordan asked. "It was more receptive. And the Storm Riders?" "Good" "Well, gotta run. See you around Jordan" Rowan saluted with two fingers and shifted disappearing into the woods. Willow walked into his study. "What?" He looked up from his desk. "Why did you force me to come back here when I have nothing to do?" She asked. "Nothing to do? You are a fucking guardian wolf! You know what that means? You are to guard the pack not roam around with strangers" He hit his pen on the table. "He isn't a stranger. You and Japh know him" "He is to you" "Okay fine! I want you to
Iris looked from her friend to Japh. "Werewolf?" Iris frowned. Is this some kinda weird dream? "Yes" "Like in the movies?" Because none of these made any sense and there's no way her friend is a beast. "You just saw everything," Willow sighed. "I did. But I was hoping it was just a dream. You...turned...into...werewolf" Iris panicked. "Look at me" Willow held her arms but Iris pushed her away. "You are a werewolf!" She exclaimed. "So you lied about New Jersey" That wasn't even important. The fact that she is a freaking werewolf should be the main focus here. "Calm down Iris. We are harmless" Japh moved closer to her. Willow's heart melted by the generalization. Japh sure knows how to make her feel good. "You know I won't hurt you" Willow sadly said. How would she even think she's capable of hurting her? Is that how humans see werewolves? "What about these wolves who attacked me earlier?" She looked around. "Trespassers. They invaded our territory and that's why we a
Willow covered her eyes with the back of her palm when the door unexpectedly opened and volts of pain shot through her eyes.She couldn't tell what day it was because she lost count."Get up," Star commanded.Willow struggled to her feet and her knees shook. She lost her balance a couple of times but finally stood straight.She quietly followed Star back to the pack house.The look on everyone's face was sympathetic while others just didn't care.Few days ago, their looks would have made her cry but she's already out of tears.Well, now she knows what she has gotten herself into."Star?" Willow called."Yes?" She didn't stop walking."Can I just go to my room?" She asked."No," Star simply replied."I don't wanna see Jordan" A tear dropped down her cheek.Great! When she thought she wasn't gonna cry but just his name earned her tears."You don't have an option"Willow hesitantly walked into the all too familiar study.She didn't dare look at him although she could clearly see his silh
