{Willow’s POV}
I couldn’t believe that I could fall for someone like this. He was supposed to be mine, made for me. That’s what a mate is, but this just didn’t feel right. Him being with her, the images clouded my mind. I found myself wondering if he had done these things with her before and if that was why he was so good at them. I felt my eyes begin to sting, and slowly but surely the tears began to fall. I hated myself for feeling this way, but he had my heart already, and now it felt broken.
“Little dove, what’s the matter?” He said quickly sitting down beside me and wiping a tear off my cheek.
“Nothing, I’m fine, just tired, and overwhelmed.” I said looking down at my hands. “I think I’d like another bath, to clean myself up.” I continued. “Maybe a shower if I can stand long enough.” I said pushing myself onto my feet, my legs were a little more wobbly than I would like, but not so bad that I couldn’t stand. My strength I had earlier seemed to of left as quickly as it came. “I’ll be fine, but maybe you should go.” I said walking into the bathroom and closing the door behind me. I locked it quickly and slid down the side of it, the tears I was holding back poured from my eyes as I finally felt the full gravity of everything. I had just exposed myself in such a way to him, after everything that just happened. I didn’t want to be here anymore, I wanted to leave as soon as possible. He can have his tall beautiful fiancé, even if he says he has me, I feel like it’s more of an excuse than anything. I don’t want to be used like that, and I don’t want to be hurt anymore. Since I’ve been here I’ve been attacked by wolves, told my mother drugged me, and have had to see a wh*** cling to someone I had fallen for. My heart felt broken, and my mind was exhausted. Before I knew what had happened, I was asleep against the bathroom door.

I watched her walk into the bathroom, I heard the lock click quickly. I could feel a pain in my chest, like my heart was breaking. I wanted her to love me, but I knew this would be difficult. That witch showing up here didn’t exactly help things, and now Willow barely wanted to speak to me. I’d kill that woman for making a scene like that, I always hated her. She claimed she would be a good Luna and Queen, protect my people and help me rule. She was nothing but a bully, she beat up weaker pack members, and slept with mated wolves just to see their mates in pain. She was a monster, and I was so happy I didn’t have to marry her. Knowing all of this helps me, but not Willow, she doesn’t understand that I never wanted that. I didn’t want anyone, I wished for a quiet life alone, but now that she was here, she was all I could think about. She took up all of my free time, and all I could do was dream and think about her beauty, and her kindness. The way she is shy, and strong, and incredible constantly. I was overjoyed when I met her, and now because of Victoria, I had hurt her.
I stood walking to the bathroom door, I could hear her whimpering. I wanted to be with her, but I knew better than that. She wanted space, and as much as it would hurt, she deserved to have her time to think things through. I walked out of her room and back into my office. I sat at my desk and waited for what seemed like hours, finally the pain stopped, she must feel better now, or maybe she’s asleep again. “I’ll go check on her soon.” I thought to myself, and began to go through the never ending stack of paperwork on my desk.

I laid asleep in the floor for hours, no one bothered me luckily, that was until I heard a banging noise on my bathroom door. “Open up you little sl**!” I heard a woman say.
Her voice, it was Victoria, that bit** that was all over Alister when we got here. “What do you want?” I snapped back at her.
“How dare you talk to me like that, I am the future Queen and Luna of this pack and you will treat me with respect you little home wrecker!” She yelled banging harder on the door.
I stood to my feel and flung the door open. “You’re not the future anything anymore! He is my mate! MINE!” I shouted in her face. “He chose me, not you! Get the h*** out of my room before I call for Jackson to throw your sk**** a** out!” I screamed pointing to the door.
“You little!” She started, grabbing me by the head and slamming it into the door frame. “You’re not his mate! He’s mine! I’m the one who slept with him, many times!” She screamed dragging me across the floor and smashing my head down onto the bedside table. “I’m the one who pleasured him, and I’m the one he will marry! Not a weak little bi*** like you!” She stomped my ribs twice before lifting me and smashing my head against the fireplace.
My face was bloody, and there was a huge gash on my eyebrow, blood covered my body, and my ribs were definitely broken. I spit blood in her face as she lifted me up. “You’re not worth my time, or the effort it would take to fight back. You’re worthless to me!” I spat out.
“I’ll show you worthless, you mutt!” She squealed running to the window and opening it, she grabbed my nearly lifeless body and shoved me out of it, holding me by the throat. “You’re worthless, and now you’ll die!” She smirked dropping me from the window.
I gasped and reached for anything to grab onto, but there was nothing I could grasp onto.
“NO!” I heard a loud roar coming from my room. It was Alister’s voice, he came for me. I closed my eyes and waited for my body to hit the ground. I knew it was only a matter to time, I wasn’t born into this world, and maybe I truly didn’t belong.
