Willow’s POV “If you decide you want to find him. Let me know” The Luna told me and I nodded. I had to think about it. I had faced enough rejections. I didn’t need my father’s own too. ********* I took one last look in the full length mirror and smoothed the black gown. The fabric felt cool against my skin. I packed my hair in a new style I saw in a video. It looked good. The Luna had such good taste. The dress really did look beautiful on me. I had just doused myself with a perfume when a sharp knock sounded at the door. I flinched from shock at the sound. I took a deep breath, grabbed my small purse, and walked over to open the door. Lucas was standing on the other side. He was dressed in a tailored black suit that made his shoulders look impossibly broad and his blue eyes look even deeper. He had been about to knock again, but his hand froze in mid-air the second he saw me. He didn't speak. He just stood there, his gaze traveling slowly down the length of my dre

Willow’s POVWinnie wanted me to find her. She liked throwing little tantrums like she did the last time she came over.The only place that came to mind was Lucas’s hut. That day I shifted, Winnie was there. So she knew I knew it. “Are you sure she’s here?” Lucas asked as we stepped down from his car.“It’s the only guess I could make” I looked around for any sign that a little girl was here and from the slightly open curtains I could see a little light peeking out. I rushed and pushed the door open.Winnie was spinning on the rotating chair. She smiled as she saw me and jumped from the seat like she had just won a game. “7 minutes and 30 seconds. That’s the shortest it has taken anyone who was not my dad to find me” she laughed and crossed her arms around her self“You must really care about me?” This little girl was either crazy or just starved of attention. Either way, she needed to know what she did was wrong. What if she had gotten hurt? “This is not funny, Winnie” I shook m

Willow’s POVI hurried into my bathroom and rummaged through the bottom cabinet until I found the small white first aid kit that I had seen there before. When I came back out, Lucas was still standing near the window, his hand pressed tightly against his bleeding side.“Please sit” I told him, keeping my voice as calm as possible.He nodded and walked over slowly. He lowered himself onto the edge of my mattress, and the bed dipped heavily under his weight. I pulled up a small chair and sat right in front of him. I opened the kit and pulled out a bottle of antiseptic and a stack of clean cotton pads.“This is going to sting a little” I warned him. He didn’t say anything, he just nodded. His eyes watched my hands. I poured the clear liquid onto the cotton and carefully pressed it against the deep, dark gash on his abdomen.He flinched immediately and grabbed my wrist, pulling it from his body. I stopped and met his eyes.I did my best to ignore the way his hand on mine made Skylar f

Willow’s POV“Some people are just naturally nice” I gave Lucas a pointed look. “Not everyone has an agenda”He shrugged my words off“I didn’t ask you here so we could argue about Julian”“Why did you ask me here?” I swallowed hard and met his eyes.Part of me wondered if this was the moment. Was he going to take back his rejection? In this library, surrounded by beautiful books and the quiet, historical atmosphere, it would be the perfect setting.“The monster that attacked us. There’s a book on it here” Lucas said.Oh. I facepalmed myself. Why did I think we would be here for anything else? “Maybe there’s a book that explains your powers too” he added “I don’t have powers” I argued. “It was just a spur of the moment”“You had a vision before and now this. Willow, isn’t it clear that there is something different about you?”I let out a heavy sigh. Maybe being different was appealing to some people, but not to me. I had lived most of my life without a wolf, and being an outsider

Willow’s POV"I do not like him " I replied quickly and involuntarily raised my hands up. I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks.Cassie’s smile widened as she moved closer to me "I saw how you looked at him just now. You practically stopped breathing when he wiped his face"I adjusted my seat on the bleachers, trying to look anywhere but at the court or at Cassie"I just looked at him. What do you mean?"Cassie hit my arm playfully. "You know exactly what I mean, Willow"I unconsciously looked back at the field where Lucas was playing. He had a determined look on his face as he ran with the ball. He managed to dribble past each player and threw the ball into the net with such ease it looked like he was even bored. He turned to where I was sitting and our eyes met again, he had a smug smile and I immediately looked away. I could feel the heat in my cheeks again. And then a realization hit me. I sucked in a breath. Cassie was right. I did like him. It was not just the mate’s
