The Night Wolf novel Chapter 73

"That man, I saw him die." Lark pointed at Jay Gatsby on screen.

"You saw him die? When?" Willow wondered who scammed poor Lark by masquerading as Leonardo DiCaprio.

"On the day before yesterday."

Two days ago was when Rowan had left. Willow scrunched her eyebrows, she also remembered that Lark had been crying secretly that day. Willow's eyes widened in realization. Lark had cried after watching Titanic.

Willow sighed. "Have you ever watched a play?"

"Of course, I have."

"Then, don't the characters die sometimes?" Asked Willow. "In the play."

"You mean," Lark's eyes widened. "You mean that this was all a play? The people in there," Lark pointed at the television. "Aren't real?"

Willow took a deep, with a sad face, she shook her head.

Lark stated at her in disbelief. As if in a trance he turned to look at Leonardo DiCaprio.

Willow heard the doorbell going off. She got off the couch and looked at the sad Lark. "And that's my cue." She felt that she should give him some space.

Willow opened the door to see Melody standing before her, with her purple hair tied up in a pony and wearing JR's hoodie.

"Hey!" Melody smiled.

"Come in." Willow opened the door up wider.

Melody looked at Lark who was staring dumbly at the flat screen. "What's up with him?"

"Don't mind him, he just heard an earth shattering news."

Willow lead Melody to her room. "I wanna ask you something." Said Willow as she shut the door.

"What is it?" asked Melody, sitting on the bean bag.

"A few days ago, you said that Hunter is my mate." Willow stared Melody straight in the eyes. "Why would you say that?"

Melody sighed, as if to say 'not this shit again'. "A year back," said Melody. "Hunter indeed found his mate and you were his mate."

Willow flinched. She didn't even like the thought of being Hunter's mate.

"But then, he rejected you."

"Yes."

Was that why Melody was mostly with her when she got her cramps? But it had been more than a week since she last got her cramps. Willow unconsciously rubbed at her collar. Willows eyes widened in realization.

"Rowan."

Melody pursed her lips as she stared at Willow, who stood by the door. "Rowan, I'm still not too sure about him, but I kind of like him now. Though I'll still punch him if he leaves you, damn him being a Royal."

"He said that, him being a Royal is the reason of him finding his mate earlier."

"I'm not so sure about it, but if from what you said and he does help you with those cramps then there might be a chance, but I'm still not sure, what if it's is because he's a Royal and the future king of Vampires, that he can help you with it. Healing might just be one of his powers."

Willow was taken aback. She had never thought about that. She walked over to her bed and flopped down.

Willow yelled in her pillow out of frustration. Even though everything pointed towards Hunter being her mate instead of Rowan, she still wanted to trust Rowan.

Willow suddenly got up and looked at Melody. "Hunter said something about my mark fading."

"You talked to Hunter?"
