Willow POV
“What do you need? Did he hurt you?” Greyson asks looking me over for injuries. He reaches towards my face to get a closer look. I flinch away it is my normal response when people get too close. He notices and takes a step back.“No I’m fine.” I say keeping my eyes to the ground. “I just know Seth will come for me again. You can’t always be there to save me. So I thought..”He stares at me patiently waiting for me to finish. I take a deep breathe.‘I can do this. Greyson will help. He has always been kind to me.’I look up to see Greyson staring intently at me. “I need to leave.” I quickly rush out. I don’t look away so he can see how determined I am. His expression is unreadable. The time he takes to answer begins to feel like hours when I know it is seconds.“Okay what is your plan? I will help as much as I can. You don’t have a wolf so this will be very dangerous.”I smile and quickly give him a hug. I can see the look of surprise on his face when I do. He quickly replaces it with his charming smile and blushes slightly. It’s so light I thought I imagined it being there. He rubs the back of his neck shyly. I take the opportunity to take an appreciative glance at his body. I feel my face heat up when I catch him smirking because he knows I am checking him out. I quickly look away to hide my face.“I do not have a plan just yet but maybe another pack can take me in. Or I can live among the humans.” I say as I look back at him. I glance up at him to take in his thought on my idea. He towers over me easily at 6’7. I’m not super small only 5’5 but tiny for the average she-wolf. He furrows his brows as he thinks over my plan.“I think living with the humans would be the best plan. You will have to go far though. So they can’t track you and change your identity. In an pack the Alpha King will still have control over you.” He says after some thought.He is right. The Alpha King is over all the packs in the country. I would have to leave the country to survive and I do not know if I can even leave the state. I think about all he has said. I do not know much about humans but I think I can live among them unnoticed. I am good about blending into the background. It is how I survived all these years. With my father blaming me for my mothers death I try to stay out of his way as much as possible. Everyone else just likes to use me as an punching bag.“You are right the humans would be my best choice. I do not know much about their world but I can learn. I will earn money by working. I can do lots of things.” I say looking at him with a smile as I think about the future. He smiles back but it looks a bit strained.“Okay I will figure out the patrol schedules to see when would be the best time. We will try to do this before your birthday.” He looks around to make sure no one is here. “I will miss having you around. Who knows maybe I could visit and see you sometime.” He looks at me with an hopeful look.I stare back surprised this is our first real conversation. Most of our interactions is him telling people to leave me alone. He gives me a nod every now and again. But we mostly do not talk. I am surprised he would miss me I am no one to him. Tears form in my eyes as I realize I have some who cares for me for the first time since my mothers death.“I’m sorry! I did not mean to offend you or upset you.” He says quickly looking very worried.I laugh like actually laugh. I haven’t laughed in years. “ No I am just happy to have someone that would actually miss me.” This feels so nice to have someone in my corner again. It makes it seem like I have hope in this life.“Of course I will miss you Willow. You are the most kind hearted person I have ever met. You are very strong too.” He says looking at me sincerely.I scoff when I hear what he says. I know I am not strong. I am a weak wolf even with Alpha blood. “Thanks for that but I know I am not strong.”“Sometimes strength is not physical. You can be strong mentally and emotionally. You have been through so much but haven’t yet broken.”I get teary eyes again and look away to hide them. I quickly wipe my eyes. “Well I need to get back to breakfast and cleaning the house.” I turn around toward the mess Seth made.“Okay we will talk more about this tomorrow then.” He says as he turns toward the door to leave.I quickly clean the kitchen and start on breakfast. Breakfast in the mornings for the pack house is normally buffet style so everyone can get there fill. With so many warriors we normally make lots of protein and carbs in the morning. I quickly make five trays of bacon, sausage, eggs, potatoes, rice, and pancakes. I look at the time as I finish. It is only 4:30am. I have 30 minutes to clean the kitchen, dining room, and the recreation rooms. It should be fast since I cleaned last night. I just have to make sure everything is in their place still.I quickly clean everything trying to make it back to the kitchen before some of the warriors come down for training. Training starts at 5 am and breakfast is served from 6 am to 8am. I make it back to the kitchen at 5:15am I did not see many of the warriors on my way back and they mostly kept to themselves this morning. As I enter the kitchen I make sure everything is in order before I begin to set the table. After everything is done it is 5:55am and I head back down to my cell exhausted.Willow POVAfter climbing the stairs down to the dungeon I find my way through the dimly lit hallway. It always seems like a maze down here. And it smells of feces and mold. Most of the cells are empty because most prisoners are put to death quickly after being placed here. So it’s normally quiet which I don’t like. Quiet means I have to be alone with my thoughts. My thoughts always lead me back to the past. I relive my past daily.I shake my head to rid myself of those thoughts as I come to my door. I see the guard standing near by stare at me but does not move.“Umm..I am ready to go back in now. I have finished my chores.” I whisper as I look down so I do not make eye contact. I hear his heavy footsteps as he comes closer. I brace myself in case he decides to hurts me.He opens the door and shoves it opens. “Hurry up you whore!” He spits at me as I walk past to enter.I quickly enter my cell before he can do anything. I rush to the other side and turn around to face him. I have to k
Willow POVI jump out of my cot shaking my head out to clear my thoughts. I look towards the door where the banging is coming from.“Be there in a moment.” I call out towards the door.I quickly go to get dressed even though my underwear and bra are not dry. I head towards the door. As I go grab the handle it is ripped open. I feel my head jerk to the right. I blink my eyes confused until the stinging begins. I realize that I have just been slapped. I swallow the lump in my throat as my eyes begin to water. I lower my eyes as my body begins to tremble waiting for my punishment.“You lazy bitch do you think you get the day off. Your supposed to already be upstairs cleaning breakfast is over. They have been looking for you. Hurry up and get up there!” The guard snarls as he steps closer.I flinch when he is inches from me. I start to feel myself panicking. I know what he is capable of. I keep my eyes glued to the floor.“Are you deaf or something?!?? Why are you still here?!?! I said hur
Willow POVI tense up when I hear Jessica’s voice. The terror that her voice alone brings has me paralyzed.“I-I..am cl-cleaning the b-bathrooms.” I managed to mumble out with my eyes glued to the floor. I do not dare to look at her. She will take it as a challenge and make my day much worse. I bit my lip as I wait for her to respond.“Well then hurry up and get it done you dumb bitch. You need to stop being so lazy and get your duties done instead of standing around.” She says ask she walks closer.I quickly glance over to see if she going to grab me. I see Jenny standing behind Jessica looking at me with pity. Jessica is glaring at me but stops a few feet away. I know she will not attack me with an audience she wants to keep her perfect image.“Yes ma’am I will quickly get my duties done.” I say as I look back towards the ground.“Good” Jessica says satisfied and turns to Jenny. “Well come on let’s go to your room to try on our dresses for the ball.”Jenny nods and follow Jessica to
Willow POV I smile to myself as I climb the stairs to the Gamma’s floor. Even though I gave Greyson an hard time it felt nice to be around him. It felt nice to have some care for me. It is just hard to get comfortable with someone being so nice to me. Especially because Seth used to be nice to me when we were younger but then when he was 13 he began getting aggressive and trying to touch me. I make it to the Gamma’s floor just as everyone is finishing the floors. I see that they have done a great job. I look to Katie and nod in approval. “Thank you guys for the help. I am very appreciative for the help. I can do the rest it’s only two bathrooms here” I say mostly looking at Katie. “Good I do not want to do more of your work” Becky says with a sneer. “Are you sure we do not mind helping” Katie says. “Yes it is fine it will not take me long” I say still looking at only Katie. The Omegas head to the stairs as I go to the Gamma’s room. The Gamma and his mate do not make me clean the
***** Trigger warning: this chapter will contain rape and incest ****** Willow POV Today is the day of the ball and my last day in this prison. I smile to myself at the thought. I will soon be free. Everyone has been very busy in preparation all day myself included. I haven’t even gotten to really see Katie or Greyson all day. Greyson has been hanging around but with so many people we haven’t had a chance to talk. He was able to tell me that plan was still a go though. He told me last night that all I have to do was meet him at the back of the kitchen near the back door. I am supposed to be there right after dinner when everyone is going to be heading into the ballroom. It will be the best time with the most commotion. Right now everyone is setting up for dinner. I came down to my cell because I am not supposed to serve so I would just be in the way. I sit on my cot as my mind run wild with thoughts of my freedom. In just an hour I will be free of this place. I can’t help but giggl
Willow POV I felt him lift off of me but I couldn’t bare to open my eyes. I feel very ashamed of myself. “I have to head back down to the party, but stay here, I will come back and get you.” He says as he fixes himself. I hear his footsteps going to the door. I do not open my eyes until I hear the door close. I open my eyes and I cry. I let out all my bent up frustrations. I sob until I feel myself become drained. I slowly push myself off the sofa and grab my clothes. I put on my torn tights and try to cover myself as much as I can with my torn shirt. I walk towards the door and listen for anyone on the other side. When I do not hear anyone, I walk out of the door. I go down the backstairs not wanting to see anyone even though they are probably still at the party. As I make it to the ground floor, I head to the kitchen. I know it is late and Greyson probably gave up thinking I wasn’t going to make it. But I still need to leave. I can’t look the Alpha King in the eye ever again after
3 months later Willow POVThese last few months have been wonderful. We stayed at the safe house for three weeks. We then moved into this beautiful apartment in Billings, Montana. It is an gorgeous modern style apartment with an open floor plan. It has a ton of natural lighting and white walls. The living room has large windows that goes from the ceiling to the floor. It has beautiful view of the city. It’s three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom is spacious and the bathroom is something out of a magazine. The other two bedrooms are a jack and jill.Greyson had me move into the master bedroom. I didn’t want to accept initial but he insisted. I was also happy that the apartment came fully furnished. It had all black furniture and appliances. I could never have ever dreamed I would be living like this.I started working at an hotel nearby as a chef. The people there are really nice and have been very welcoming.Only problem I seem to have is that in these last few weeks I h
Willow POV“What did you just say?” Greyson growls out. I look at him and see his eye flashing black.“I said Ms. James is pregnant. According to the blood test I would say about 5 months. She is very small for this stage. Her test also showed that she is a bit dehydrated. So she needs to eat more and get lots of fluids.” The doctor says looking at the clipboard.Greyson takes a deep breathe and looks at me with so much guilt.“Are you the father?” The doctor ask as he turns to Greyson.“No I am her brother.” Greyson says looking at the doctor.“Well is there any parents I could talk to? I just would like to be sure she is getting the best care.” The doctor says glancing between us.“No our parents died years ago. I am her guardian I will take care of her. Is there anything else we need to know?” Greyson says coming to stand next me. He grabs my hand squeezing it.“Well I would like to do an ultrasound to look at the baby. Also the sickness should pass once she begins a healthy diet.”
