The Night Wolf novel Chapter 74

Willow nodded.

"That bastard must be regretting it." Melody grinned. "Even though I should be patriotic when it comes to my pack and my Alpha, please don't ever accept Hunter."

"I can swear on it. But I still feel that Hunter might not be my mate. I guess we'll truly find out in a few days."

Willow buried her head back in the pillow.

Willow woke up yet again, in the middle of the night. She looked at her phone to find that it had been two hours since midnight. She had been dreaming the same recurring dream and waking up at the same time, in the middle of the night. She started wondering if her life was turning into some horror story.

Willow shivered at the thought and rolled on her side. She shut her eyes and awaited sleep.

It had been five days since Rowan had left and Willow missed him dearly. Willow shook her head and put a stop at the thoughts of 'Rowan filling up her head, because if she continued thinking about him then she was not going to get any amount of sleep and would probably be a living zombie for school the next day.

Willow planned on listening to some calm songs but then she remembered that Lark had borrowed her headphones and her earphones had been tangled into a mess for days now and she'd probably get anxieties the moment she will look at them now.

Willow started counting sheep in her head. On the 465th sheep's jump, Willow got off the bed and walked out to the kitchen to make herself some chamomile tea to help her sleep.

Willow placed the tea bag in her mug and poured some hot water in it. She leaned against the counter and sipped on the tea.

As Willow continued sipping, she heard a sound coming through the back door. She froze when she saw a silhouette flash from the tinted glass door, her heart jumping to her throat.

In her shaky state, Willow placed the mug on the counter with her hands shaking. Willow pulled a knife out of the holder, even though she should be rushing the other way and should be calling nine-one-one, Willow walked forward and checked on the lock to find them unlocked.

Willows eyes widened. She had checked on the door before she went to bed and it had been locked then.

Willow then turned the lock, putting it in place. She turned around and rushed to her room to call the police.

As Willow was running towards her room she suddenly felt her mouth being covered. Willow tried to yell, only for her voice to come out in muffles. She trashed around the kidnapper's grip.

Willow regretted not yelling out when she first saw someone outside through the door. She could have had alarmed everyone in the house.

"I got her." Willow heard a manly voice say behind her. It sounded familiar, but in her haze, she couldn't make out who.

Rowan!

Rowan heard Felix through their mind link. Then he heard his door being knocked urgently.

Rowan opened the door to his room. He furrowed his brows at Felix. "What is it?"

"I just heard something, about Lark."

"Lark?" Asked Rowan, confused.

He had known Lark ever since he was ten and Lark was someone he trusted, he had even let him stay at his mate's house, that already proved how much he trusted Lark.

"I even looked it up. Did he not say that he was exiled?" Said Felix, with a solemn face.

When Lark had previously told him that he was exiled, Rowan wasn't shocked because Lark being exiled was a common occurrence. He would often be exiled every now and then. In fact, Rowan would be more shocked if Lark didn't do anything to anger his father, the king of Seelie. But the Seelie king was too fond of Lark to exile him for long. Lark was, after all the best candidate among his siblings for the throne.
