Brett POV Jeremy hadn’t called me back yet since I phoned him last night. It was now after lunch and I decided to pack a bag for a few days to go visit him. I hadn’t seen Mother and Father in a while either and it would be a good opportunity to update them with news from the North. Alicia was starting to annoy me. She wanted commitment, she wanted me to mark her. She was adamant that she didn’t want her fated mate and I knew her beta father well enough that he would encourage her to take me as a chosen mate, over a fated one. The problem was that my wolf and I didn’t feel a strong connection to her. Sure, we had a sexual relationship, but I never felt fully satisfied and I wasn’t possessive over her like I was with...Willow! Ah just thinking about her puts my wolf on edge. Every time I thought I got close to going back south, a rogue attack occurred, and I had to stay and assemble the men. My trip today was unplanned and I won’t be telling anyone! I was suspicious of the level of r
Chapter 25Willow POV It’s the day after and I could barely sleep last night I had a weird dream about Brett again and being attacked in some woods. I often dreamt of Brett so didn’t think anything of it. The tiredness hasn’t improved my mood and I haven’t left my room. Mum has brought me up some food and tries to calm me down, but I feel so trapped. Even Lizzie isn’t mine anymore! My brother has engulfed that relationship, I can’t go anywhere without a shadow, he has just stripped me of all my pack management duties and someone who I thought was a close friend was just following orders. I feel so stupid! I laugh to myself, well, Jeremy did call me stupid.I start packing a weekend bag, if I make my way now, I can get a train to the capital and be with Lizzie and Samantha in time for dinner. They’ve been badgering me for ages to visit so now it’s the perfect timing. I hear footsteps coming along the hallway as Mum then walks into my room, again.“Willow what are you doing?” Mum asks
Willow POV Our junction for the motorway was shut due to an accident, so we had to take the scenic route. I had spent most part of the journey so far texting the girls to tell them I was on my way. They were so excited they were already planning a wild night out with fancy cocktails on roof top bars. Luckily, I had packed a skimpy dress and some high heels. The rest I can borrow from them.Taylor keepings glance behind and keeping an eye on his mirrors.“Is everything ok?” I ask.“Hhmmm I think we might have some company.” He says concern clear on his face. I look behind and find a blacked-out SUV close on our tail. The car gets closer and hits the back of our bumper. As it pushes our car forward I let out a gasp. Taylor speeds up but the car behind continues to follow, hitting us again. We turn a sharp corner to find 3 men standing in the road in front of us. Taylor starts to ease of the accelerator pedal.“Drive straight through them.” I shout. Taylor doesn’t stop and ploughs do
Brett POV I sped to the Johnson pack unable to shake the dream off. My men were following closely in a car behind. I was anxious about Willow’s whereabouts and speeding to get to Jeremy as soon as possible. When I pull into the Johnson pack warriors and trackers are gathered standing outside the Alpha mansion. As I open the car door, I can hear Jeremy shouting orders at his men and my heartbreaks looking at Luna Eve sobbing into Alpha Nick’s chest. “What’s the update?” I ask Jeremy as I get closer, ensuring my Alpha aura is coming off strong to his men. I was here to support my friend and his family, but the pack also need to recognise my rank too.“Willow was on her way to London, but Lizzie called to say she never made it. Dad felt a pack link break. We called Taylor’s phone and received this text in response!” Jeremy looks at me with panic in his eyes. He holds his mobile phone out to me, as he shows me the picture message with a photo of Taylor’s lifeless body covered in blood i
Brett POVI barge past the men, knocking some to the ground, in my haste to run towards Willow. When I am too late! He starts to lick her wounds. I rush towards him with pure anger running through me, she is my mate, mine, not his! I push him away from her and stand over her in a protective stance.“MINE!” I roar at him, as he is laying on the floor looking at me. “What?” Jeremy comes running up behind me.“She is my mate.” I growl at Jeremy.“What the fuck have you done?” I roar as I walk towards Ash.“She is my mine, not yours. Don’t ever touch her, don’t EVER heal her.” I’m so angry I want to rip his head off, my wolf is ready, he is already pushing on our connection to shift back and tear the skin off Ashley’s bones. Ashley puts his hands out.“I didn’t know, she is my fiancé.” He says but I don’t miss the curling of his lips. Jeremy growls as he stands beside me.“I told you she hasn’t answered yet! Stay the fuck away from my sister.” He roars at Ashley.“Fine, but you owe me, a
Chapter 29 Willow POVI start to stir but my eye lids still feel too heavy to open. For the first time in a long time, I relish in the current feeling of warmth and comfort. A scent fills my nose of spiced apple and cinnamon, which suddenly stirs my wolf. I open my eyes to find I am wrapped around Brett!In my bed!Brett is in my bed!I bolt upright and look down at him in, still in his own peaceful slumber. Goddess he is gorgeous. He has a navy tshirt on and his brown softly highlighted hair was all messy from being asleep. His hair was different than the last time I saw him. It was shorter now at the sides, with a cute wavy length on top. An electric pulse hits me pulling me towards him. Almost as if my soul is calling out to his.“Mate?” I whisper.“Mine!” I try it out on my lips. “Yours!” Brett opens an eye looking up at me, still half asleep. He places his arm against his head.“Good morning beautiful.” He smiles. “Morning….erm what are you doing in my bed?” I ask, trying to r
Brett POV “No, no, no, no, no!” Willow repeats going into panic mode. “Sshh it’s ok, I’m not letting you out of my sight. I won’t let him have you.” I promise kissing her lips. She pushes me off her and sits up, rocking back and forth. She runs her hands through her hair.“How has this happened?” She screams at me. I try to comfort her, but she just keeps rocking back and forth. The door slams open to find Jeremy and Louis staring at us.“Willow.” They run over to her and take it in turns to embrace her in a comforting hug. She starts to sob in Jeremy’s arms, who turns to me scowling at not informing him she was awake, like I promised I would.“I’m…I’m…I’m going to be sick.” She quickly runs out of her room to the bathroom next door, slamming the door behind her. I jump up to follow her but Louis cuts me off.“I’ll go to her!” He says.“What did you tell her?” Jeremy looks at me frowning.“The truth.” I shrug. He nods and sighs, sitting on the end of her bed.“Ashley has asked to c
Willow POV I can’t explain this sense of longing…this sense of finding Ash and doing his bidding. Yet I can also feel the strength of the mate bond with Brett.I feel torn!I know with Ash it is the sire bond but I’m struggling to fight it already. I’ve been standing in the shower for ages and keep forgetting if I’ve washed my hair, so I wash it again. My fingers are starting to turn soft now so I decide to come out. I wrap a towel around my hair and another one around my body. After applying face cream and deodorant I unlock the bathroom door to find Brett sitting on the floor against the wall looking up at me. He smiles at me devilishly and his eyes turn to dark emerald-green. He follows me into my room and shuts the door behind him. He stares at me with such a passion in his eyes that I feel quite uncomfortable under his gaze.He closes the gap between us and looks down at me. Water droplets drip down my neck and fall into my cleavage area, where they are soaked up by the towel. He
