LOGINWILLOW’S POV.“Josh” I call back icily, making sure to match his stoic expression. With the way he’s looking at me, I can tell he has spoken with Maddy and he knows I’m the one who blew the alarm on them. My heart is hammering in my chest and panic is doing backflips in my bones, but I suck in a deep breath and maintain my cool.I cannot show any fear right now, else I’m cooked.“A little bird told me you’re the reason why I’m in this mess.”“Is by any chance, that little bird called the Nazi around here?”His shoulders shake as a dark chuckle escapes his chest and he inches closer to me. I steel my spine and lock into his piercing gaze.“I underestimated you and judged you wrongly.”“Did you now?” I ask with an amused smile.“I thought you to be one of the attention-seeking freaks who would do anything for male attention, but I guess I was wrong.”“I’m glad we are finally on the same page on this issue.”“Stop acting so confident and fearless, I’m not here to shake hands with you on
WILLOW’S POVTHE NEXT DAYNo training today means I can make it in time for lunch at the cafeteria. Normally, I would go to the chefs in the main castle and ask them to make me something to eat, but I want an update on the Maddy situation and the cafeteria is the best place for me to get it. I left early this morning to go serve Alpha Killian and have been in my room ever since I got back. I'm not really informed on what’s going on, but that’s about to change.As I stand by waiting for the elevator, Joana joins me.“Good morning, Joanna” I greet, flashing her a cheerful smile and she ignores me, to the surprise of no one. The elevator finally arrives and opens up and we both step in. She presses the button, one, as the door closes and our ride begins.“With the way you keep smiling, I feel like my suspicions are right.” She looks at me. “You’re the one who’s responsible for what happened to Maddy, aren’t you?”Normally, I would ignore her because she ignored my greeting a while ago, b
WILLOW’S POV“I swear I’m going to kill her!” An angry voice comes through from the main entrance of the building and I shift properly behind my hiding spot and crane my neck forward to see what’s going on. My heart makes a joyful leap when I see Shirley marching towards the male servants’ quarters like a soldier going to war.It’s working. She’s going over to Josh’s bedroom to see for herself if I’m really there. Oh, it’s about to go down.I lean against the wall, exhale deeply and wait.My heart rate skyrockets as the minutes tick by and once again, my mind is filled with all sorts of negative thoughts. What if Josh and Maddy are smart enough to smell her coming from a distance and hide? If this fails, it’s really over for me. I would have to find a way to escape from the castle because my life would be beyond miserable.Ten minutes later, the serene atmosphere is interrupted by footsteps and loud voices.“Shirley, hold on!”My heart drops into my stomach when Maddy’s voice comes th
WILLOW’S POV“Willow!”Alpha Killian calls out in a very urgent tone as he barges into the closet, causing me to quickly drop the clothes I’m holding and turn to him.“My Lord” I call, sounding a little terrified as he takes long strides over to where I’m standing. He stops barely inches from me and says nothing for several moments. He looks very angry, like he’s about to scold me about something, but he isn’t saying anything and that has my mind thrown into a state of confusion.Is he mad at me for arguing with Astrid earlier?“My Lord?” I call yet again and hold my breath when he inches closer to me.“She was about to hit you. Were you just going to stand there and let her hit you?” His voice is calm, but tight and I can see his jaws ticking from how much he’s grinding his teeth. I can’t believe he’s this furious about such a trivial matter. Acting like a hormonal teenager.“Yes.” I reply simply and that seems to aggravate him even more because he leans closer to me with a deep frow
KILLIAN’S POVAstrid’s hand is still in the air as I walk up to the two girls. The fact that I would have witnessed her hit Willow if I had not asked that question, has the beast in my chest threatening to jump out and tear her to pieces. The anger that was provoked by her attempted assault on my mate is like ice spreading through me, silently freezing every organ in my body. I’m stone cold with rage as I stand in front of the two girls, examining the situation.“I said, what’s going on here?” I ask demand in a cold tone and Astrid’s hand drops down as she faces me fully.“My Lord, she disrespected me again and I was just about to teach her a lesson.” She’s the first to report and I simply stare at her in awe.Astrid hasn’t been listening to the things I’ve been telling her ever since she arrived here, has she?“How’s me asking you if you’re delusional after making such an obnoxious accusation disrespectful?” Willow fires back and I shoot her an impressed look. I like it when she does
WILLOW’S POVI’m surprised to meet Maddy when I arrive at our bedroom. Usually by this time, she’s deep into doing some chore somewhere around the castle, but that’s not the case today. She’s not even in uniform which means she’s not on duty today. It’s definitely an off day for her. Now it makes even more sense why she’s meeting with Josh tonight.“So, you like Josh huh?” She asks as I walk over to my bed and I ignore her completely. The last thing I want is to have a conversation with her about Josh because I’m scared I might get worked up and spill what I know about her secret affair with him. I head straight to my side of the closet, open it up and start taking out my towel and shower products.“You’re never going to have a chance with him, you know.” The confidence in her tone makes me scoff without meaning to. How am I supposed to ignore her when she says something this hilarious? Smiling, I turn to face her with my bathing stuff bundled in my hands.“You think so?” I ask with r
WILLOW’S POVI’m still shaking like a leaf even after pouring water on my body. I’m drying myself and putting on my bathrobe at the speed of light and only after that do I feel little relief from the cold biting at every inch of my skin. My nostrils are blocked and I feel like I’m going to come dow
KILLIAN'S POV“Who sent you?” Axel demands furiously as he presses the retrained man’s head onto the ground with such force that makes him eat some of the soil and dried twits on the ground. The man lets out a strained laughter, as he shoots me a murderous glare with angry, bloodshed eyes. Nearly e
WILLOW’S POVFinally, one good thing has happened to me today. I’ve been able to make it in time for lunch. The events of the day have been on a downward spiral ever since I woke up this morning. My life is in such great chaos right now, I wonder how it’s even possible for me to feel hungry. My hea
KILLIAN'S POVI instruct and immediately cut off the link, making sure to mentally bar him from trying to reach out to me because I don’t have time to deal with his questions and objections right now. There’s a matter concerning my mate that I have to solve and it takes precedence over anything.I
