The Night Wolf novel Chapter 45

"Oh. My. God." Willow felt like she was possessed by Janice from friends. Sadly she wasn't laughing at the moment.

Willow felt stupid. The fact the Vampires have sensitive hearing was so obvious that she had overlooked it and embarrassed herself. But she was glad that the King didn't 'Off with your head' her.

"Why didn't you stop me?" Willow looked accusingly at Rowan.

"I was about to, but I was enjoying myself." Rowan chuckled.

"Are you even my Soulmate?"

"You're stuck with me."

Willow harrumphed and stomped away.

After a few steps Willow felt large hands place on her shoulders and turn her around. "You're going the wrong way."

Crossing her arms on her chest, Willow fixed her best 'bitch face'.

"I'm sorry. Don't be mad okay?"

Willow was going to ignore him anyway but her phone went off with the familiar ringtone.

Willow answered the call after looking at her screen.

"Where are you?" Melody sobbing was the first thing Willow heard.

"Are you okay?" Willow asked the first thing anyone might in such situations.

"Are you okay?"

"Mel, what's wrong? Was it JR? Did he hurt you?" Willow started to plan, mentally, for JR's demise.

"No. He didn't do anything. Where are you Willow? Are you hurting?"

"No I'm not. Why would I be hurting?"

"It's Hunter, he-" Melody sobbed harder.

Willow felt Rowan stiffen behind her, his grip tightening on her shoulders. How could she forget his sensitive ears.

"Did Hunter hurt you?"

"Where are you Willow?" Asked Melody, not answering her question.

"I'm not at home." Willow couldn't tell her that she was with Rowan who happens to be a Vampire, now could she? Not to forget that he's her soulmate and she met with his parents, a bit too quickly. Talk about taking a big leap in one's relationship.

"I know, Felix told me." Said Melody. "Are you sure you're not hurt?"

Willow understood what Melody was asking about. The cramps she gets randomly. The ones that feels like her soul and her body is separating.

Willows heart stopped. Maybe she could stay here for another day? Or a week? Or a month maybe. Willow wanted to bang her head in regret that she didn't previously accept the offer.

{A Year Back}

A squeak left Willow's lips the moment she fell, in order to avoid falling face first on the ground, she held her hands out to avoid hurting her nose, but she ended up hurting her knees with a loud 'bang'. Willow shut her eyes tightly to avoid her eyes from pricking with tears at the intense pain that shot up from her knees.

Willow had been walking down the when she fell. She was sure there was nothing in her path and one can't just trip from air.

Willow turned her head back, scrunching her eyebrows to frown at the person who tripped her but she regretted it the very moment. Hunter stood behind her, his eyes which were staring at her were filled hatred. Such intense hatred that Willow felt like his eyes could burn through her.

When she saw his look , she wondered if he was staring at his enemy instead of Willow? She was sure she was the only one on the ground and in his line of sight.

Willows heart ached at the hate filled eyes. She didn't know why she was suddenly attracted to Hunter. Sure he was very handsome and she might have had been drawn to him were it not for his personality, but what she now felt wasn't just a crush, she felt like they were long lost lovers and she knew that the books she had started reading were at fault.

Just thinking about that made Willow feel like she was crazy. She decided to blame it on life. It was human nature to be attracted to something or someone beautiful.

"Such a klutz." The way Hunter said it filled with so much disgust, made Willow's eyes pool with tears, making Willow wonder if she was on her period. Willow wasn't a clumsy person in general. She couldn't even remember the last time she had fallen.

What did Hunter expect from the person he had purposely tripped? For them to flip on their back and land back on their feet? Willow was sure she couldn't do that.

Hunter side stepped and walked away, his friends following after him. The moment he was far away, the hallway which had been deathly silent, came back to life.

"Hey, are you okay?" Willow looked up to find Jamie-Ray, standing in front of her, his hands stretched out to help her up.
