Willow

Chapter 6

             'No'  Willow thought he couldn’t have found her. Not here. What will Ben think when he comes home to find her gone? Will he think she ran from him? The thought of Ben hurting stabbed her in the heart.

"Your going to regret running from me girl, and your going to regret being a w***e with that shifter." Kirk said with vial tone.

"How did you find me?"  Willow said with a shaky tone

"I followed you stupid girl. I wanted to take you back sooner but the brut put the stone in place." Kirk replied with a sly smile. He has been out there all this time.

"Please just leave me alone. Ben will be back soon" Willow said

"Oh I know, that is why we are leaving now girl, Do not make me force you." Kirk said with a dark look in his eyes. Willow said nothing, she moved towards the entrance so she could make a run for it. But Kirk was to fast. He grabbed her arms and inhaled deeply.

"His scent is all over you." Kirks eyes were so angry "Did you let him mark you? You w***e! You will regret this! You are suppose to be mine and only mine!"  Kirk said as he back handed her face. Willow sight was blurry, she could feel Kirk dragging her out of the cave by her arm. She tried to resist him but he was much stronger than she was.

"Beeennnnnn" willow yelled as loud as could, but Kirk punched her right in the stomach she started coughing and falling to the ground. Kirk grabbed her hair and dragged her through the cold snow and mud. She didn’t know where they were when she heard a loud growl. That’s when she spotted Ben. He was ready to fight, teeth showing and his hair was standing up. Kirk let her go and she heard cracking she turned to look and Kirk was now a large grey wolf in a fighting stance staring right at Ben.

"No! Please Kirk don’t hurt him! I will go with you, please."  Willow begged but kirk took off and pounced on Ben, they tumbled down a hill snapping and growling at each other. Willow was able to get on her feet and she ran towards the bank, she saw Ben under Kirk snapping and dodging Kirks bites.

"Nooo, Ben!!!!"  Willow screamed and than pain hit her body like a ton of bricks. Her bones where cracking and breaking, than it all stopped she stood up and looked down to see paws. 'What just happened?' she thought to herself.

'Your free now Willow' a soft voice said. What in the world was that? She thought

'I am Fray your wolf, we can talk more later Willow our mate needs us now!' Fray said firmly. That’s when willow snapped back and saw Ben was still fighting under Kirk. She sprinted towards them and throw her body into Kirks knocking him off Ben. Willow placed herself in front of Ben in a protective stance and bared her teeth to Kirk. Kirk stood up shaking the dirt off his fur, he turned towards Willow and let out a growl. Willow growled louder and harder while pacing. 'Come on!' Willow yelled in her mind. As if Kirk had heard her he bolted towards her. Willow bite down hard on his neck and thrashed, she released him just to bite down again. Soon she was looking down at kirks lifeless body.

'Willow' she heard Ben's voice in her mind. She turned to see Ben standing naked in his human form with a soft look begging for her to come to him. Willow slowly walked towards Ben with her head down, she sat at his feet not looking up until she felt his hand run through her fur.

"I am okay Willow"  he said sweetly

Willow felt her bones cracking again, the pain stopped and she was laying in the cold snow, Ben came and picked her up. Cradling her against his warm skin he walked back to the cave. Once they were inside Ben laid Willow on the bed carefully than went back to close the entrance. Than he went back to the washroom and started running a hot bath. He came over to Willow picking her back up and placing her in the hot water.

"Move up a little Willow, so I can sit behind you."  Ben softly said. Willow moved up and Ben crawled in behind her, he settled and pulled Willow back to lean on his chest. He grabbed the lavender body wash and started cleaning shoulders, neck and back. 

"Are you okay?"  he asked her quietly

"I am just worried about you…" she said not looking at him. Ben could see her starting to shack.

"I am okay Willow, you saved me." Ben said as he wrapped his arms around her.

"No Ben, I am worried your going to leave me." she cried, she sobbing into her hands.

Ben turned Willow so she was facing him, he took her face in his hands and made her look up at him.

"I will never leave you, You are mine." he said "I am yours and we will never be apart again. Ever."

Willow caught him off guard when she throw her arms around his neck and wrapped her legs around him. She pulled back and kissed him deeply.

"You are to good to me Ben, I do not deserve you." She said

"No Willow, it's me who doesn’t deserve you." he said with a kiss.

They sat in the tub for a while, Ben washed her hair and her body. They rinsed off and Ben got out grabbed a towel wrapped it around his waist and grabbed one for Willow, she stepped out and he wrapped her in as he picked her up and carried her back to the bed, setting her down he turned to start a fire. 

"Will you tell me about yourself more Ben?" she asked

"What do you want to know Willow? " he replied

"Why are you living here alone?" she asked softly

"Mmm, I was kicked out of my pack by another Alpha and his Luna. I had yet to find my mate and some of the pack decided I wasn't good enough to be their alpha without a mate." Ben replied, you could hear the pain and anger as he told her.

"It was my fault than…" she said so quietly he almost didn’t hear her.

"No Willow, Never think that. Ever. Moving here and losing my Alpha position made it so I could find you." Ben said as he crawled into bed pulling her onto his lap "I would give my pack up again and again if it meant I would have you." After a short silence he said "Willow, why didn't you tell me you and Kirk were wolves? That caught me off guard."

Willow took a deep breath and replied "I didn’t know, I didn’t know what I was or what he was. I only knew about you because of your eyes."

Ben rubbed the back of his head and asked "What are your parents name?"

Willow looked at him with a confused look, She wasn't sure why he was asking. "My fathers name is Frank Williams and my mother is Freya Williams. Why?"

Bens face froze, he stopped stroking her back and his eyes were locked on Willow. "Your father was Frank?" He asked with disbelief "You’re the lost child?"

"The what?" she asked confused.

"Willow, you’re the last descendent of the first family who settled here back in the 1800's, when I was a kid I heard the tales of a child being stolen from the Williams, they never stopped looking. They knew you were out there, before they were able to find you they passed away." Ben said sadly

Willow just looked at him, her parents were gone. All she had left was Ben.

"What does that mean for me?" she asked

"It means you are the rightful Luna to the Williams pack. They do not have an Alpha or Luna right now, they will not fill the seat until the lost child is returned." he explained "We need to travel into town once the snow slows. It is important you see the council."

"Can I ask for something before we go?" she said

"Yes of course Willow, I will do anything for you, if you do not want to go we do not have to. We can just stay here together for the rest of our lives." He said as he kissed her forehead.

"Will you make me yours completely?" she looked down out her hands when she asked.

"Willow, do you know what that means?" he asked "The process is a rough one."

"No, I don’t know what it means but I need this to happen before I face people I don’t know. Please" she said "Will you tell me what we have to do?"

"Yes. First we will need to go out tonight during the full moon and shift so we are able to speak to the Moon Goddess and receive her blessing. After that we will mate, I will mark you again but this time you have to mark me at the same time. After that is done we will have to take each others family marks." The last part he said with a flinch.

"How do we take each others marks?" she asked

"We have to brand each other. We do all of this in front of the Moon Goddess under the full moon. Once it is completed we will be one, no one will be able to separate us. But is will be painful." he said

"Okay, lets do it. I do not want someone trying to take me away from you ever again Ben." she said as she leaned up to kiss him.   

Ben was so happy, he found his life mate. She was the most amazing women he'd ever come in contact with, and she was his. Tonight we will be one and no one could break them apart again. He found his Luna.
