Chapter 3

***Trigger Warning a bit of sexual assault****

Willow POV

Seth grabs my hair tearing it from my roots. He pulls my hair in a way so my back is against his chest. He turns my head so my neck is exposed. He sniffs along my neck when gets to where my neck and shoulder meet he grazes me with his canines. I shiver as I am frozen with terror.

“See I knew you would like it,” he says with a smirk. He uses his claws to rip open my shirt. Exposing my breast he grabs my right breast tugging at my nipple through my bra.

“No! Stop!” I scream ripping his arm off my breast. I try to run but he rips me back by my hair. I fall to the ground with my hair still in his hands. As my fight or flight senses kick in I begin to kick and scream to get away. They have taken everything from me I will not let them take my innocence. My body is something I can control and he cannot have it.

As I fight to get away Seth slaps me across the face causing me to see black spots. I taste the blood in my mouth. I look up at him and see him raise his fist. I cover my face with my arms bracing myself for the impact. I attempt to swallow the lump in my throat as I wait prepared to fight my way out.

“Alpha Prince I do not think this is the best time for this interaction.”

I gasp when I hear the other voice. I lowered my arms to see who was there. I see Greyson one of the guards with Seth’s arm in his hand. Greyson has been one of the few who has been somewhat kind to me during my time here. I have never been so happy to see him. I used my arms to cover myself.

“You think you can tell me what I can do. I can do whatever I want to this whore and no one will stop me” Seth snarls as he turns his attention to Greyson. He releases my hair when he turns. I use the opportunity to get up and move away creating some space between us.

“Alpha Prince I just do not think this is appropriate for the hour. I would not want to wake the Alpha King with something so trivial. He went to bed late after going over the vampire attacks” Greyson says calmly. He releases his arm when he sees I have moved a safe distance.

Seth growls and knocks everything off the counters as he storms out. He turns to look at me before he moves towards the door. “We will finish this.”

I look at the ground tightening my arms around myself. I begin to shake with fear coursing through me. He will not give up he will come for me. Nobody will be able to stop him. I need to get out of here. I begin to hyperventilate.

‘I ..can’t..breathe’ I think as black spots begin to line my vision.

“Hey, Willow look at me. Deep breathes in and out” Greyson says softly as he walks over. He crouched down to look into my eyes. I see his light grey eyes come into view. “Focus on me.”

I look into his eyes and take a deep breath. As my breathing slows I look up. Greyson stands up and takes off his shirt. I flinch away from him.

‘Oh no! He is just as bad as Seth he is going to force me too. He wants me for himself.’

“Hey I am just giving you my shirt so you can cover up,” he says as he hands over the shirt.

I grab it from his hand and quickly take it from him as turn. As I begin to put on his shirt I take a peek over my shoulder at his chest. He has a very nice lean body. He is not overly built like Seth he is more lean and toned. He has a tribal tattoo on the right side of his chest. I blush as I notice him staring at me.

Greyson is very attractive as most werewolves are. But his personality is what makes him the most attractive, especially his kindness. I used to have a huge crush on him. I would dream about his messy blonde hair and light grey eyes. Now seeing him shirtless, I think I still have a crush. But he would never be with someone like me with my frizzy red hair and dead green eyes. Plus my freckles are all over my face. Not to mention my body is littered in scars and I’m nothing but skin and bones. No one could look at me and ever find me attractive. Seth just wanted because he can and to torment me.

I quickly pull the shirt over my head and turn to face him. “Thanks for saving me” I whispered so low. I know with his werewolf hearing he heard me.

“It’s not a problem Willow. I wish I could do more for you. Treating you this way is not okay. It doesn’t matter that you were once a rouge” he says shaking his head and looking at me with pity.

I look to the ground unable to meet his eyes and see the pity. Then an idea begins to form. Maybe he can help me get away. I need to leave as soon as possible. Seth will come for me. I knew I would have to run at some point but I wanted to wait until I got my wolf. I do not know if I will survive by myself without my wolf. But could I trust Greyson? I do not know what else to do.

“Greyson I need your help.”
