All Chapters of My Pups’ Blood for His Lover: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Willow's POV"What if she gets pregnant again?" Isolde asked, her voice syrupy sweet."The same as before. A little wolfsbane in her food is all it takes."Rowan's voice was laced with a chilling pleasure. "After she 'loses' another pup, I will hold her while she cries and tell her we will try again. She will believe it. She always does."Against my will, my mind flashed back to the horror of losing my pups: the tearing pain in my abdomen, the blood-soaked sheets, the cold white light of the pack infirmary.I remembered how she would pretend to be thoughtful, staying all night in the infirmary, curled up on a small sofa in the corner. The moment I whimpered in a nightmare, she would rush to my side and squeeze my hand.Rowan was there too, stroking my sweat-damp hair, whispering against my cheek. "Do not be afraid, my Luna. We will try again. The Moon Goddess will grant us a child. I swear it on my life."I had thought I had the best mate and sister in the world. I had believed them fo

Willow’s POVSix months later, under the full moon, he asked me to be his fated mate. I did not even hesitate.The night before we sealed our bond, my mother pulled me aside. "Rowan is using you for your bloodline. You are just too stupid to see it."Of course, I did not listen to her. He was so good to me, my fated mate. How could he not love me?I became his Luna and spent seven years trying to be the perfect mate.And for all seven of those years, Isolde was always there. She had been sleeping with my Alpha behind my back the entire time, and I had never suspected a thing.A sharp pain lanced through my chest. I blinked hard, pulling myself back to the present."My parents favor Isolde. When Rowan rejects me at the ceremony, they will likely be the first to approve. I cannot count on them for protection."Lucian paused. "So you want revenge.""I want them to pay in blood," I corrected him, my throat tight. "He murdered my three pups and used their blood to heal that woman. He tricke

Willow’s POVHe had almost said 'my Luna'. I saw his Adam's apple bob as he swallowed the word."Willow, you will wear something decent," my mother said, her eyes sweeping over my black gown with disgust. "If you show up to the ceremony like that, the entire North will be laughing at our Luna.""I have no shortage of clothes in my wardrobe," I said, my tone flat."None of them are suitable," she retorted. "Tomorrow, you will accompany me to the pack tailor to select something appropriate.""I am going to the infirmary tomorrow to be with Aunt Maeve."My mother's face darkened. "Willow, that woman has one foot in the grave. Your being there will not change anything. But your sister has been blessed, and you should be by her side."That woman. She would not even say 'adoptive mother'. She just called her 'that woman'."If you will excuse me," I said, pushing back my chair and standing up straight. "I am not feeling well. I am going to my room to rest.""Willow, sit down," Rowan commanded

Willow’s POVAunt Maeve lay on the cold infirmary bed, her face so pale it was almost transparent, her body connected to a web of IV tubes. The heart monitor emitted a faint but steady beep. Lucian's Shadow Guards had not arrived yet.The healer on duty looked up, startled. "Alpha, you cannot be in here...""Disconnect all of her IV drips," Rowan ordered.The healer's eyes widened in shock. "What did you say?""I am ordering you to cease all treatment. Now.""Alpha, that is a grave violation of the ancient healer's oath...""Do it now.""Alpha, once the medication is stopped, her inner wolf's healing will not last more than a few minutes...""I know what will happen to her," Rowan's tone was as if he were discussing a sheep to be slaughtered. "I said, pull the IVs. Now.""Alpha, the Pack Medical Council...""I am the Alpha of this pack," he snarled. "That means every resource in this infirmary, including you, is under my command. Defy me, and I will not just banish you. I will cripple

Willow’s POVAs I turned to leave, I heard Rowan's voice behind me, transformed into one of tenderness."Does it hurt? Do not be afraid, no one will lay a finger on you while I am here. Come here, let me see..."I walked up the stairs, one side of my face burning.In the long years since we had bonded, this hypocritical Alpha had always pretended to cherish me.In the last four days, he had hit me twice and used his Alpha Command on me numerous times.I went into my bedroom and locked the door.I spread the stack of parchments out one by one.He had not even glanced at them.Beneath the thick pile of official documents, I had used a glamour spell taught to me by Aunt Maeve to hide the fatal clauses.He had unsuspectingly signed the blood pact authorizing me to unilaterally break our mate bond.He had even signed the unconditional surrender of the other half of Black Moon's territory. Combined with the half I already held, the moment his stamp touched that parchment, the entire pack bec
