Chapter 62 Willow

Chapter 62 Willow
WILLOW’S POV

I was running in the forest, intended to get as far as I could get from the pack house. Tears falling from my eyes, the pain was unbearable, fear consuming every part of my body.

I knew he was right; he is my mate. I knew the moment I stepped into the room, but I had no good hope from him, how I could have, when my parents abandoned me because of who I am, why would he accept me. I didn’t panic, I controlled myself and pretended as if he didn’t exist, Isaac’s presence helped a lot and I rushed to hug him, but I think, it was mistake on my part, I mistakenly ignited his jealousy or we could say male ego and he came in action instantly and the secret I was holding or probably he was too, blew up in front of so many people, specially the Alpha and Luna and now granny will tell them my story.

I fell on my knees, my feet hurt but most importantly my heart was weeping quietly, my energy draining.

I still remember the day when granny handed me over an old, folded paper. My life shattered into numerous pieces when I read those cruel words my mom had written down, she was expecting someone to accept me, isn’t it hilarious? When she herself refused to accept me, her biological daughter.

Although I had told Granny that I had forgiven her, because she doesn’t want me to hold any grudge against my parents, I can make excuses to forgive her that at least she gave birth to me but for my father I have no emotions, not even hatred, for him I am emotionless.

My life has completely changed since then, before that I was happy with the thought that I had lost my parents just like Isaac, Adrian and others, but it isn’t true, I am an abandoned kid, and I am afraid that my mate will reject me too. I whimpered, Mia, my wolf was weeping too along with me. I lied to everyone that I don’t like being wolf and am happy with using my magic powers, when the truth is I loved my wolf as much as I loved my hands performing magic.

How would I face them all? By now they will be aware of my ugly story, I don’t want any pity, but I don’t want to face any mockery as well, I don’t have that much courage. I was so lost in crying out my sorrow that I didn’t realize when a strong arm wrapped around me, my reflexes reacted swiftly and I used my hand to push away whoever it was.

‘Ouch!’ I stiffened at a familiar voice and turned my head slowly and gasped, it was Noah and was hit by my magic, he was holding his abdomen and groaning in pain.

‘I’m so sorry, I thought’ I rushed towards him and helped him to sit up, the pain will go away in a minute, I never use harsh magic to usher someone away, it is first step to protect myself.

‘That’s okay, I am fine’ he was panting with his head hanging low. I took this moment to memorize his face, his sharp jaw line covered in stubble, green eyes shadowed with long and thick lashes, and light brown hair falling on his forehead. He perfectly fit the definition of handsome and charming man; my heart skips a beat. He was mine but what if he will reject me, the fear crawl back from behind and I choked, standing up I wanted to run away, escape from the fear that was haunting me, but I was curb by a strong yet gentle hold, I can’t deny the sparks that shoot in my body, a wave of yearning rushed within me.

‘Running isn’t the solution, Willow’ his hoarse voice echoed close to my ears, his lips brush with my ears and I flinched at the touch, I was trapped in his arms, blocking all my ways of escaping.

I gulped and narrowed my eyes, getting them locked with his.

‘Staying won’t solve the things either’ I whispered, his warm breath touching my skin, I can feel the goosebumps all over my body, my body was being very reactive to his touch, maybe because he is my mate, because before that I never felt like that at touch of any man.

‘Who says that? Let sit and solve’ I shook my head, tears pooling in my eyes again.

‘Your solution will be to reject me’ my voice quivering, I don’t want to go through that pain again, rejection hurts, it shatters you whole from inside and I won’t be able to stay in this pack then, where will I go? My mind drifting towards the consequences of after being rejected by my mate.

‘I won’t’ my eyes widened at his soft gaze.

‘You won’t?’ I wasn’t sure if I heard him right. He nodded his head and spun me in his arm, bringing my face in front of his, at distance of few inches.

‘I have no reason to reject you but several to accept you, love you, cherish you and mate with you’ his deep hoarse voice blew up my mind. It was totally opposite of what I was expecting, my cheeks burned at his words and gaze lowered due to shyness.

‘You have no issue with me being witch and omega wolf?’ I pressed my teeth while saying those words.

‘I am curious instead. My kids will be able to do the magic, woah, just a thought makes me to jump in delight’ he tightened his hold around my waist, closing the little bit of distance between us.

‘They could be weak wolf’ I was trying my best to control the shivering and told him the bitter the reality, a reason which might make him regret on his decision.

‘Are you weak?’ his question baffled me, but he was looking at me amusingly, waiting for my response.

‘No, I am not weak. I can beat you to a pulp right here and your wolf won’t be able to understand what happened to him’ I snorted, my ego spiked, he laughed and rubbed his nose with mine.

‘Perfect, strong mothers never raise weak children’ I was left speechless, he has the answer of my every insecurity.

‘What if you regret your decision in future’ I licked my lips, by now the fear was pulling back, but I was looking from every side, ensuring I am not getting fooled.

‘Let’s be honest with each other and never give any reason for regretting. I will always remain loyal to you until my last breath, I promise’ he raised his palm towards me, my gaze flickered on his palm and at his face, I can see the sincerity in those green orbs, I bit the corner of my lip, hesitating for a moment.

‘You’ll always find me loyal to you’ I rested my hand over his and he tightened it, plastering a chaste kiss on the back of my hand, I giggled quietly at the sensation.

‘By the way, next time you won’t get close to Isaac like you did today, keep a distance with all males from now on’ his face twitched, I can see the jealousy in those eyes.

‘He is like a brother to me.’ I retorted.

‘Even if he was your brother by blood, I would have asked you to keep a distance. You can hug me as you want, jump on me, or do whatever you want, but not anyone else’ I huffed.

‘They are my family, Noah,” he shook his head.

‘They were, from today onwards, I am your family, together we will make our own little family, someone we can own and call ours’ his soft words finally brought the smile on my lips, all the fear I had killed down.

‘Thank you for understanding me’ I rested my head on his hard chest and closed my eyes.

‘I waited for you all these years, you are my other half, how could I not understand you’ he plastered a soft kiss on my head and I sighed in content, for once in my life I finally have someone, who is mine and only mine.
