Whispers of Willow Chapter 6
Willow resumed her work and was too preoccupied with her screen when she heard the dreadful clicking of heels. “My office now,” her boss said. She quickly stood up and followed her. On her way, she noticed Maxon exit the elevator and walk to the opposite side of the office. Even at a lower level, he was practically her boss because the company was owned by his father. Willow quietly knocked on the boss’ door before entering without waiting for confirmation, and she returned to her cubicle in seven minutes. She sighed and opened the Word document. “What did she want?” Zack, who was sitting in the adjacent cubicle, inquired. “She wants me to write an article about CC Drinks,” Willow grumbled. “Uh ha, and what’s wrong with that?” “CC Drinks is the worst!” She tried to whisper because she was afraid someone would hear her. “They are harmful to the environment and to your health. All of their products are loaded with sugar! And they

Willow squinted her eyes and held her breath. She couldn't comprehend what had happened. One moment she was all riled up, talking about wanting to leave, and the next she found herself pressed up against the wall, with Wes pressing his lips against her cheek, merely missing her lips by a centimeter.She could feel the air getting thicker around her. The tension was palpable. The heat emanating from his lips awakened every nerve of her body. She had never known this feeling before and it scared her.She heard the door close, not realizing there was a stranger in their vicinity.Willow pushed him away from her. He didn't protest. In fact, he willingly obliged.She walked slowly over to the bed, reaching for the vase on the side table, then letting go of the vase and picking up the pillow. She returned to where Wes stood and forcefully swung the pillow at his head.His face moved in the direction of the hit, but he remained standing and did not try to avoid the attack."I deserved that,"

Willow was sure her cheeks were stained red. She pushed herself away from him and said, “I won’t run!”The prince walked out of the palace and to Aurum's hut, which was not far away, before going to get clothes for her. It was hidden in the hills behind the palace. The prince walked right in after knocking twice because the door to the hut was left open.Aurum sat in a cushioned chair. He returned his gaze to an ancient book he was reading before motioning for the prince to take a seat on one of the chairs. If anyone else had seen the prince walk in, they would have stood up in respect and greeted him. However, Aurum, while respectful, had a friendly relationship with Wes, which could not be said for anyone else."May I serve you some tea?" Aurum asked but did not wait for the prince to respond as he poured some tea from the kettle into a cup. He held the cup in his hands, and steam began to rise from the tea within a few seconds.Wes took the cup from Aurum's grasp before sitting acr

Willow sat in silence, contemplating the latest discoveries. Would she be okay without this memory? Coming into the kingdom by accident, meeting Ava, and meeting the prince... It was straight out of a fairytale. She examined her dress and stroked the fabric. Yes, it was clearly from a fairytale, and fairytales aren't supposed to be true. "I suppose it's for the best. I should forget about this," she said, her tone was oddly calm. "I'm still operating under the assumption that everything is a dream." Wes tapped his fingers against the chair's armrest. "So, what happened next?" she inquired, referring to the story of the kingdom's formation. "That concludes the story." "Are you telling me that this happened centuries ago and that nothing prominent has occurred since then?" The prince appeared to contemplate whether or not to reveal the kingdom's affairs. He tried to conceal as much as he could. "After all the vampires were inside this barrier that the healer had created, it took

The rain had stopped, but the grey clouds remained in the sky. Willow got out of her seat, opened the sliding door in front of her, and hopped outside. The steps led to a beautiful garden that was hidden from the common people due to the palace's height.The remaining droplets of rain adorned the leaves and flowers.Wes followed her, observing how her grey dress swept the blades of grass while she looked around curiously."Since I will never see you again, I have some things I need to get off my chest," she said. "A therapist would be more appropriate for this conversation, but I cannot afford one. So that's what you'll have to do."He motioned for her to continue."I had a surreal dream, and after waking up I realized that I had a better life in my dream than the one that I am currently living. I dread who I am becoming because of my job... compromising my morals. Then there are my parents. They're divorced."Wes cut Willow off before she could finish."Divorced? Is that allowed?""Y

Half an hour before Wes went into the human world, he went to a meeting with the king and other high-ranking officials to talk about the growing number of rogue vampires that had escaped the kingdom.Wes found these meetings typically boring. Had he not been born into royalty, he would never see himself ruling a kingdom. It wasn’t his dream and it wasn’t his desire. But as things changed, he craved power. He wanted something that was his, in name only. His father wouldn’t give up his throne just yet. Which is why Wes had to outsmart his predecessor one way or another.He paid attention to these meetings now and kept tabs on the happenings of the kingdom. If he wanted to rule someday, he needed to know his arena and his opponents. The meeting ended. While everyone was dispersing, a cheerful Felix approached the prince."I'm glad you finally decided to settle down. I hope I am not overstepping here, but we are all looking forward to a royal wedding soon," he grinned, showing his teeth

Willow followed Kairav down the hill and out to the city outskirts until they came to a cleared area with several tents set up where people conversed, drank, rehearsed lines, and laughed."They're entertainers," Kairav explained. "They put on shows all over the city. You might have seen them."Willow had indeed seen them. When she was new to the city, her roommate, Noelle, took her to one of their shows.Kairav led her to the last tent and pointed it out to her."She's in there."Willow paused. She raised her hand to knock but quickly dropped it."Come in," she heard a voice say from the tent.Willow took a step inside and noticed the red interior with a low desk in the center. A fourteen-year-old girl sat cross-legged behind the desk. Willow took a step back and stepped out."Are you kidding me?" she exclaimed as she turned to face Kairav.He sighed and shrugged his shoulders."I warned you," he said. "I'm going to stay outside."Willow took a deep breath and returned to the tent."S
Whispers of Willow Chapter 13
The double doors of Maxon's grand mansion opened, and a man in his mid-fifties walked in. He was pudgy, short, and had a bald spot on his head, dressed in a black suit with glasses in front of his eyes, a cane in his hand, and a cigar in his mouth."Father," Maxon said as he rose from the sofa.Wes remained seated in the massive and luxurious living room, which was decorated in black, white, and gold. The mansion was immaculate from the inside and out, although Wes wasn't fazed by it at all. He was accustomed to such opulence and expected nothing less."This is Wes," Maxon said. "He's new to town and needs a place to stay for the night."Wes had also risen to his feet. The man came to a halt in front of the prince and extended his hand."Cayman Hill," he said, still holding the cigar in his mouth. "So, I take it you saved my son from those thugs?""Yes," Wes replied, shaking his seemingly welcoming hand."Hold up," Maxon said, pulling his phone from his pocket. "I need to take this."
