Willow's POV“How do you know that?” I asked immediately.Diana shrugged. “I have my ways.”I stared at her. “What does that mean?”“It means I have my ways.” She replied.“That's not an answer.” I complained.She smirked. “It wasn't supposed to be.”I narrowed my eyes. “Then how did you find out?”Diana folded her arms. “Not telling.”My jaw dropped. “Seriously?”She shrugged. “Very seriously.”I groaned. “Diana.”“No.”I scowled at her. “You can't just say you know exactly what happened and then refuse to explain how.”“I absolutely can.”I stared at her for several seconds before giving up.She clearly wasn't going to tell me.“Fine, I give up.” I muttered.“Good.”I picked at my food while Diana watched me with an amused grin on her face.After a moment, the amusement faded from her face.“You know,” she said, “that was incredibly stupid.”I looked up. “What?”“What you did,” she said, pointing at me. “Sneaking out of your room.” I sighed. “I know.”“No. I don't think you do.” He

Willow’s POVBy the time I got back to my room, something felt different.I couldn’t explain it exactly. Nothing had changed. The room was still the same, and I was still a prisoner in a pack that belonged to the most terrifying alpha in the region.But something in me felt lighter.I hadn’t realised how much the room had been pressing me down until I had spent a few hours outside. The fresh air, the soil, the quiet sound of birds — all of it had done something to release the tension inside my chest since I arrived.I glanced back at the man who had escorted me, intending to say something.Even if he hadn’t been pleasant about the whole thing, I had wanted to say a ‘thank you’ or something close maybe.But he was already gone.I looked down at my body. I was very dirty.I went to the bathroom and cleaned up thoroughly, then sat on the edge of the bed deep in thought.For the first time in days, my mind was at peace.The rest of the afternoon passed quietly.For once, the room didn’t f

Chapter 26Willow’s POVSomeone was standing beside my bed.For a second, my brain refused to understand what I was seeing.I froze.My heart stopped.Then it started again.I jolted upright so fast I nearly fell off the other side.My heart slammed hard against my ribs. I scrambled backward until my back hit the headboard, pulling my knees up as my eyes tried to adjust to the darkness of the room.The moonlight coming through the windows was faint, but it was enough for me to make out a tall shape.The shape stepped forward slowly.The moonlight caught his face.My stomach dropped.Alpha Mordecai.I almost died on the spot.For a moment I genuinely could not tell if I was still asleep.This wasn’t real.My first thought was that this was just another nightmare, the kind where your brain took the most terrifying thing it knew and put it in the room with you.I had to be dreaming.I had fallen asleep angry and confused. This was a nightmare. It had to be.Because there was no possible r

Willow’s POV I did not sleep at all.I sat on the edge of the bed until morning came, then I lay down, then sat up again, then stared at the wall for a while.My body simply refused to settle. Every time I closed my eyes, I was back against that wall, with his hands on either side of my head and his breath warm on my neck, and my eyes would snap open again.By the time breakfast came, my body was aching and I felt horrible.“Come in.”The door opened.Diana stepped inside carrying a tray. The moment she saw me, she frowned.“You look terrible.” She commented.“Thank you.” I drawled.“I’m serious.”I rubbed my eyes. “I know.”She set the tray down.“What happened?”For a moment, I considered saying nothing.I looked at her. I had been going back and forth on whether to tell her since the middle of the night.On one hand, Diana had proved that she was useful to talk to and that she knew things about this pack that I didn’t, and she was one of the few people I could actually talk to.On

Willow’s POVONE MONTH LATERA month had passed since the night Mordecai had stood beside my bed.And he hadn’t come back to my room since then.Life had settled into something that almost felt normal.Every morning started the same way. I woke up, ate, and went to the garden with Gaunt. The evenings were either walk around the pack or visits to the training grounds with Hela. Some days, neither of them came at all, and I stayed indoors.When that happened, Hela would show up the next day with a brief explanation.‘Something came up.’Or, ‘Pack business.’She never explained further, and I never asked.Gaunt never explained anything.He showed up, he glared at me like my existence personally offended him, and he walked me to the garden.The first time he missed a day and came back the next morning, I had waited for some kind of greeting, but he had stared at me for three full seconds like he wished he hadn’t come that day, then turned and walked down the corridor.I had stopped expecti
