Willow

A few hours ago

With no time to spare that morning, I departed the Emerald Bright Pack clad in a simple square-neck crop top that left my waist exposed. Walter’s hand approached the strip of bare skin, hovered mere inches away from making contact with my waist.

“I dare you to touch me,” I asserted, standing close to his formidable 6.2 frame. Adjusting the coat on his broad chest, I raised my gaze to deliver a warning glare. “I wouldn’t mind if my model struts down the runway with an unsightly scratch marring his face.”

“Ohh…you caught me again,” he grinned, revealing his easy charm and retracting hist bold hand in response.

I couldn’t help but roll my eyes, “I can smell your arousal. Can’t you get your head out of the gutter for once and focus on work?” I shot him a stern look, wondering how I managed to work with this man for five years.

The frequency with which this man got turned on around me resembled that of a werewolf, making his human identity questionable. This morning, when I went to his room to wake him up and asked him to join me on the fashion show stage for fitting and practice, he had been dealing with morning hardness. In the car he shared his insights about car sex, offering to have me join in the fun. Just now, after flawlessly strutting the runway like a male deity when I came on stage for a final check on his suit, he was once again stirred by our proximity.

“Willow, I can’t seem to control myself around you,” he admitted, his gaze lingering on my chest due to our close proximity. Biting his lip, he continued, “My mind veers into dirty thoughts, I want to devour…”

I pulled away from him, rolling my eyes. “If you’re done with your dirty ideations, then go and change. It’s already evening, the party is about to start. We need to get back to the pack as soon as possible,” I stated, grabbing my purse and exiting the hall.

“Where are you going?” his shout echoed in the empty hall.

“Shopping!” I shouted back, making my way to the shopping mall I had spotted on the way. Although it was a five-minute walk, I opted to take my car.

I had initially purchased a dress for my welcome party with Mia, but anticipating that

by the time I reached the pack it would be too late to change I decided to buy a new dress. Additionally. I picked a few things for Wyatt and Lori.

Fortunately, Walter, as the organizer of the fashion show, had granted me the opportunity to have him practice on the stage in the actual location that the event would take place tomorrow. Everything seemed to be aligned in my favor, I harbored hopes of winning this show as well.

As I concluded my clothing shopping, my gaze drifted towards the men’s section. The memory of Reuben’s apology from the previous night lingered in my mind, as if he were present, embracing me in his arms, his warm breath whispering in my ears. My feet moved automatically, leading me into the shop

Half an hour later, I returned to the fashion show building and entered the common room where I had left my belongings since morning. Placing my dress on the chair intended for a pre-departure change. I glanced at the small box in my hand. I couldn’t explain why I bought it, but once my eyes landed on it thoughts of him and how he might look wearing it crossed my mind.

I closed the small box. neatly placing it in my purse, only to catch some unusual sounds. emanating from the bathroom. Alarmed, ed my gaze to the

Walking cautiously toward the bathroom. I pushed the door wide open, ready to confront a potential intruder. However, my intentions were thwarted as I was taken aback by the sight of a naked Walter standing under the shower. He casually looked over at me and quipped. “Wanna join me?”

Stunned. I averted my gaze but not before spotting a coffee stain on his discarded shirt. Just as I was about to make a hasty retreat, I felt a firm grip on my wrist, pinning me to the wall beside the bathroom door. It was Walter. He had emerged from the shower completely naked!

“What are you doing, Walter?!” I demanded, steadfastly making sure to avoid looking anywhere beyond his face to his exposed form.

“Willow, you’ve been aware of my desire for you for five years, yet you are here alone with me. Isn’t it because you want me too?” he asserted.

“I don’t want you, Walter.” I replied, meeting his gaze with unwavering determination. “And you’ve known that from the start.”

“Why, because of Reuben?” His expression shifted to one of displeasure. My silence

seemed to provoke him, “Am I not handsome? Am I not rich? Am I not….

“You aren’t Reuben,” I candidly replied. “That’s all.” His eyes betrayed a mixture of emotions, grappling with both the sting of rejection and the weight of his unspoken. feelings.

A silence settled between us, after a couple of seconds, Walter loosened his grip on my wrist. I lowered my arm, tore my eyes away from him, and walked away from him towards my dress. Determined to change in another room, I chose to distance myself.

“He doesn’t love you, Willow. A man who doubts his woman is not a man you should love,” he asserted.

I desperately wanted to interject, to tell Reuben that whatever Walter was saying was a fabrication, but Reuben’s expression froze me in place until he noticed my presence.

As Walter left, Reuben and I stood staring into each other’s eyes for a long time. For some reason the distance between us seemed cavernous and the fear in my heart started to dominate my whole being. I felt an unimaginable amount of pain through our mate bond that was a result of him being emotionally hurt. My heart ached, when he took slow steps towards me until we were a step apart from each other, his eyes were
