Willow, I woke up in the middle of the night with a troubled heart. While I thought of the past, specific questions gnawed at my mind. Why was I framed? I wasn't having an affair with Christopher; he did not show me love or interest. Why did Aida hate me so much, and why was Christopher Killed? These were questions I would have to find answers to succeed. Getting Aida and Mark out of Christopher's life was a daunting task that a crybaby good girl would not be able to achieve. I needed to succeed. I did not know what would happen if I succeeded, but I knew what would happen if I failed. I knew Aida wasn't good for him. I also knew he didn't love her. Their marriage was arranged by the werewolf king, and Christopher had to honour it because he was under the monarch. It was a way of the monarch showing he favoured Christopher, but I knew better. Christopher was the strongest werewolf alpha. The only reason he wasn't king was that he wasn't from the royal bloodline. The werewolf king mu
Willow. His scent filled my senses. The emotions were overwhelming. I had loved him in my past life, and I still did. I was never able to have him, and it hurt like hell. I removed the sheets from the bed, and he turned to look at what I was doing. "What do you want to do?" He asked, concerned. "I have to wash it. It has been stained." I said, and he was silent. "Is there anything you want to wash?" I asked him, and he shook his head. I piled up the dirty clothes and cleaned up the room. I made sure I stayed away from the dresser and vanity table. He remained in the room until I finished cleaning. When I was about to leave, he stopped me. "Were you seeing someone before you came here?" he asked me, and I shook my head because I knew I could be honest about that. "It has always been my mother and me. We often rendered herbal treatment services to people, but it had always been us. Our lifestyle did not allow me to date," I said, and he nodded. "Hopefully, you find this place com
Willow I woke up sweating and panting. Fate was making sure I did not forget what happened to me. I relived my execution and judgement in my dream, which did not feel pleasant. It felt like it had just happened, and I had just returned. Feeling the blade fall and everything going dark, the damnation brought back painful memories, and I began to weep. Why did that happen to me? Why didn't I live a normal life? I wept. I was glad that I was ahead of my foes, but the fact that they had won once still broke me. I remembered Christopher lying in his vomit in his office and Aida screaming. I had forgotten his words to me when I served his tea, but my dream had helped me remember. When I served the tea, he told me he would make everything right and that he knew the truth. I did not know what he meant by it, but he looked at me lovingly for the first time, and I had butterflies in my stomach. How could I have forgotten something so beautiful? The trauma had taken over completely. I sat up and
Christopher. Ingrid's words surprised me, but they made some sense. That was the only reason why she was pleading with Aida. I would be mad if this was true because she had put my pack in disarray. I could not go to meetings and train as usual. The three days were hectic, and the news about the loss of the pregnancy was heart-wrenching. I prayed for her sake that Ingrid was lying, but again, Ingrid had tried to frame Willow, someone she shouldn't have an issue with. Only Aida knew Willow was my fated, and that was because I told her. There was a possibility Ingrid was telling the truth. "Speak!" I ordered Ingrid, who had fear in her eyes. "You will allow her to tell more lies?" Aida said, trying to stop me. "Just now, you said you believed her. Why did you switch all of a sudden?" I asked Aida, and she was silent. There was no way this could be done in private because it was already a public show and the pack members deserved an explanation. Ingrid wiped away her tears but remaine
Christopher. I got a summon from the werewolf king two days after the incident. I did not need to guess what had happened. My wife must have reported me to her father, and he was calling me to settle the matter. There wasn't an issue to resolve, but I needed to honour his invitation, or it would be seen as disrespectful on my part. I stepped out of the shower in the morning and saw Aida lying naked on the bed, trying to get me to sleep with her. I was yet to forgive her for humiliating us in the pack. "I can't get pregnant like this, Christopher," She teased, and I smiled. "I guess you feel guilty for your actions. Unfortunately, I am not in the mood. Since you have decided to report me to your father, there is no need for reconciliation," I said, and her smile dropped. It was quite low of her to think that she could do this and everything would be okay. I left her to go to train in the garden. While I walked, I wondered what Willow was up to. Since the incident, she had stayed a
Willow. A month passed, and everything happened as in the past. Christopher wasn't around much. There were some changes. In this life, Luis bugged me so much, and Ingrid was out of my hair. Because Ingrid was now afraid of me, no one was setting me up, and I wasn't getting into trouble. The pack members liked me, and no one knew I was Christopher's fated. Aida had lost the favour of the pack members, and they only respected her because she was luna. All I had to do was flip the narrative of the theft. Exposing her affair with Mark would be easier with all this in place. They had been elusive, and since Christopher wasn't always around, Mark wasn't around either. We were still on borrowed time, and I did not know when we would finally win. I was worried that time was going, and I was still unsure what would happen when my time was up. "Tonight will be the second new moon, Willow," Raya reminded me, and I knew why. It was a timestamp. This time in the past, Luis and Christopher were p
Christopher I felt pain in my body. I was somehow trapped in my head. I knew I should get up to move, but I couldn't. The attackers were coming, and Mark was nowhere near us. "Can you get up?" I asked Luis, and he managed to get on his feet. "I can't shift Alpha. I think we have been poisoned," Luis said, and I knew we were doomed. Who would have poisoned us? We had gone for a territorial meeting and were on our way back. How did we ingest the poison? Mark wanted to go so we had to park the car. We were close to Rain Pack, so I didn't think much of it until my legs gave out, and I felt paralysed. I heard the howls and growls of wolves, but I couldn't help myself. I hoped some guards would be on patrol and come our way. "We have to try," I told Luis. This wasn't how I was going to die. We managed to get on our feet and grow our claws to defend ourselves. I called Mark several times, but he did not respond. The wolves smelled familiar. They smelled like a place I knew, but my mind w
Willow. As the new pack healer, Christopher and I spent much time together. He always faked sickness, so I would attend to him. He confessed several times that he just wanted to be near me, and I found it cute. We almost kissed a few times, and he pleaded with me to break things off with the Gamma. Luna Aida was out of my hair, but I knew she and Mark were plotting. I just had to be patient to wait and counter them. We were getting into the month when I was to catch them together. So far, fate had altered something, and Luis was a big issue for me because he was an anomaly. He wasn't meant to be alive, but there was no way I could save Christorpher without saving him. Because of him, the first event of catching Aida with Mark did not work out because he asked me to walk with him in the park. I might have to break up with him to focus on my task. It was now two months and three weeks. I wished I could just walk up to Christopher and tell him, 'hey, your luna and Beta are fucking, and t
