I am Broken

Chapter 6- Willow POV

      “Welcome my dear beautiful Willow, I have been waiting for you”

               My heart stopped; I didn’t know what to say. My confusion was clearly plastered on my face as he smiled at me “I can see you looked confused allow me to explain" I wasn’t going anywhere, and I still couldn’t form words, so I took the nearest seat and waited for his explanation.

                “When your mate came to me” he started to speak and I could feel Jake tense up, his aura was becoming darker at the mention of Alex but I continued to listen, “or well I came to him after my brother sent out a distress signal, he asked for my help to retrieve his mate, I though you to be another she-wolf in harm’s way, he never cared to explain you were this powerful goddess, but I digress, he needed my help and after he explained who killed the only brother I liked, I wanted revenge” he takes a short pause and I can feel everyone’s aura darken as this revenge plan was going to be explained “so, I was going to save the damsel and take my revenge, so after they were disguised we made our way to you, Jake was in tow” he looked deeply at him as Jake lowered his head from his gaze, the master slave relationship was showing clearly.

                “You already know what happened at the wedding but what you didn’t know was from the moment I saw you and realised you were no wolf but not completely human either and with such beauty I couldn’t take my eyes off you, you radiated power like life its self and then I knew I had to have you” a deep growl came from Jake as his face showed a disapproving look but I knew he could do nothing to stop what his master wanted.

                 Marcus’s face was equally disappointed “Jake I will take that as a slip up on your part but if I hear it again, I will cut out your tongue, I suggest you wait outside for the rest of the time” Jake's head lowered in submission he could not argue with what his master had told him, without another word he turns heading out the door leaving me alone with Marcus. He turns back to me and continues his story; I remain silent as I too wanted to know what happened after all hell broke loose.

                  “As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, I knew that moment I had to have you so I came up with a plan, once the fighting broke out and you showed your true potential a fire sparked in me that I have not felt that way since my wife died” I had finally found my words as I felt I knew where this was going “I’m not going to be your wife Marcus, if that is what you are thinking, I will fight my way out of here”    

                  He chuckled at my reply and said no more on the subject but I didn’t like his reaction, I wasn’t going to be forced to be someone’s wife for the second time, did he think I would just roll over and take it, if that was the case he was sadly mistaken, yes he was handsome and had a ruggish look to him but I was finally happy with Alex and had decided to spend my life with him and my pack not this. “I will finish my story before I tell you the reason you are here” I nodded and let him continue.

                   “Once I saw that sword going into Jake, I knew I had a chance and I was going to take every opportunity, and things seams to just fall into place, you did save him, though it look him around a month to wake up, you healed him completely and brought him back from the dead, that power only comes once in a life time and trust me I have lived a long time, when the walls divided us, I took the opportunity to take Jake and use him against you at a later date but there was something intriguing about him so I subjected him to my experiments, I made him strong and loyal like a well-trained dog”

              He laughed deeply at his disturbing triumph as he continued to gloat “when he had survived all the transformation when no before him had, I knew I had one of the greatest powers to get you and now I have you in my clutches” I sighed and wished he would get to the point “why am I hear Marcus?” I asked, “you are here because I want you to bring my wife back” I was shocked at his answer, all this to bring his wife back when he could have just asked me. 

                    “All this just to ask me to bring your wife back, I don’t get it why didn’t you just ask?” I looked at him with sincere eye, I understood pain and loss and if it ended all this fighting and k********g then I was whiling to help “If I try and help you will you let me go home?” I asked him “sure I will let you go; Jake though will stay with me and I will hear nothing else on the matter” I knew he wasn’t going to budge but maybe it was okay he had built a life here and maybe he will find someone and be happy.

                  “I will say Marcus, I have only done this once and I cannot guaranty it will work” he nodded understanding there was a chance this wouldn’t work, you have to pull their souls back from the afterlife wherever that may be, but it took its toll and if it felt like it did with Jake I had no idea how long it would take. “how long has she been dead, as I not sure how long it will take me to find her soul and bring it back” he stood and showed me a door that had just appeared leading me down a spiral staircase.

                    “She has been gone for a while, but I have preserved her body, she is just a normal human you see and when you have enemies like me, it’s sometimes hard to save the one you love” we reached the bottom and I saw a beautiful woman lay on a well decorated bed, covered in flowers, she had glowing red hair, I looked back a Marcus, there was love and pain in his eyes, I was still cautious, but I could see he truly cared for his wife and the look of desperation in his eyes told me he would do anything to bring her back.

                   “She loved flowers, I had a garden built for her so she could grow flowers and be happy with her time here, she did not love me to start with but once we go to know each other and I was calmer and more gentle, we fell deeply in love and then she was taken from me” I felt sad for him, pain and loss are things I knew of but I also knew what it felt like when they were alive again and it was the best feeling in the world and I couldn’t deny him that, even if it was the wrong way of going about it. 

                “I will need my ability’s back” I said to him bluntly “you were always able to use your healing ability, I just blocked the others, so please proceed Willow” I looked at him sharply still cautious of his behaviour, “what will happen if I can’t bring her back?” I asked him “don’t think about that now just try please, that’s all I ask” I nodded and lay my hands on her chest, I felt myself pulling her soul back quickly, for someone who was dead for a while she was easy to find it made me wonder how long she really had been dead for, the longer they are gone the harder they are to find, I have been practicing my soul searching this past year but never brought anyone back, I just made sure they were at peace for the sake of the family.

                    I pulled at her soul as much as I could, dragging her back to her body. I felt some resistance like she didn’t want to go back but I pulled harder, she was the key to my freedom and who wouldn’t want to come back to life, with one last pull her soul returned to her body as she took her first breath, her chest the continued to rise up and down and her pulse became steady “she back, I found her and brought her back but I don’t know when she will wake”

                  He said nothing but instead he wrapped his arms around me tightly, it was a gesture of thanks but the deep chuckle that came from his disturbed me “thank you Willow, this was everything I needed, I never truly appreciated your gift, you are truly one of a kind and now I have you, I have no need for this one” I was confused by his statement but it soon became very clear as he pulled out is gun shooting her in the head.

                I screamed as I stepped back, there was blood everywhere and I couldn’t understand what he had just done, he killed his wife. He walked to me gripping my neck tightly pushing me against the wall, a deep roar of laughter came from him as I tried to understand the situation “oh dear Willow, I never had a wife, she was some girl I messed around with and one night I got too rough, shame really she was nearly as pretty as you but she was only kept around to amuse me” I managed to spurt a few words out to him before my throat began to close “why?” I asked, dark spots were begging to cloud my eyes.

                  “Because I had to make sure this wasn’t a fluke, not just good luck but now I know what you are capable of, you are never going to leave my side” he smiles as he forces my mouth open and pours a metallic tasting liquid down my throat, my heart sank what had he done to me, the fight I felt was fading away, leaving me looking at him in a new light “what did you give me” I asked as he let go of my neck but kept my body up high against his, my head and my heart were at war with each other trying to understand why I had conflicting feelings “it will make you more lenient to me, there is no spell or potion to make you fall in love with me, which would have made this easier but I have given you a mixture of my blood and a spell, it will confuse your mind and let your feelings change making you more open to me, and soon you will realise my dear you will never want to leave my side”

                I wanted to let the tears fall but I was stronger than this, I will fight, I will find my way back to you Alex, but the next action was unexpected as he planted his lips on mine, it was strong and passionate and I didn’t fight away from it as I thought I would, his kiss deepened as I felt his hands against my body, my mind confused me as it felt just as wrong as it felt right, I’m sorry Alex I thought, as I too deepened the kiss, as he rubbed his body against mine, I felt my eyes closing, enjoying the slight pleasure it was giving me but my mind was confused and before I let whatever he had given me take over my mind, I pushed him away from me and ran from the room, I need air, I needed to breath!

                     I need to find a way out, I needed to leave tonight before I felt it was a good idea to give him more of my body. And I had to convince the one person I knew who might help me, Jake.
