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
Brett POV It took all my strength to leave Willow alone to get changed. I headed downstairs when I walked past Louis.“Hey Louis, would you just keep a listen out for Wils? She’s just getting changed.” I ask him not wanting Willow to be alone whilst I find Jeremy. “Sure, no worries.” He waves as he heads to the stairs.“Cheers!” I call back. I head to the dining room to find Alpha Nick, Luna Eve, Jeremy and Thomas in conversation. I take a seat at the dining table and they look up at me.“How is she?” Alpha Nick asks.“She’s already feeling the sire bond…I don’t know if she knows yet…but the sooner I mark her hopefully it will…” “No Brett, while she has another Alpha’s DNA in her system you marking her might result in lasting damage. That saliva has helped heal her…it might fight your own and start poisoning her…it’s just too risky.” Alpha Nick cuts me off adamantly. “There’s just not enough research.” Beta Thomas interjects. She is my mate and I should be making these decisions
Ash POV Fucking Jason! He almost ruined everything. How dare he think he can touch what is mine!The new witch was settling into her rooms well. I had informed some of the pack that an omega from another area was joining. I didn’t need them sniffing around and an omega never gets any attention. She was good at masking her magic and she had worked well on strengthening the spells on Willow. I knew that the current bindings lasted until she was marked but I needed to increase the sire bond so that I could mark her. The witch was also continuing to sedate Willow’s power. I hadn’t expected Brett to be down south, every time he reported to his pack he was returning, I ensured rogue attacks up north kept him away. Now to find that they are actually mates, I really was running out of time! I needed to act fast. It was getting more difficult to get to Willow. I could now feel a force working against us and something told me it was also witchcraft. Willow POV I was still on cloud nine sinc
Jeremy POV I was missing Lizzie like crazy, her sexy ass, her divine figure and her blackberry and rosemary scent. My wolf was pining for her too, but I knew she was safe and I just had to keep going. I had received intel that Ashley’s men had been sniffing around our borders, no doubt trying to get close to Willow. What was his fascination with her? She wasn’t his mate, so why was he still trying. He must know with me back that we don’t need an alliance and I’m so angry at Willow for letting him get so involved with her. I felt guilty for injecting her with wolfsbane, but I had decided to carry it around just in case she needed to be contained. I love my sister and brother immensely and would stop at nothing to keep them, my Luna and my pack safe. “Alpha!” Leo reports to me through the mind link.“Alpha Robert, Luna Amelie and an Alicia are here.” Leo continues.Fuck…this isn’t going to go down well with Willow.“Leo, show them to the Alpha Mansion. I’ll be right there.” I leave
Jeremy POVBrett didn’t have the relationship with his parents as I did with mine. I already knew this, it’s why he spent so much time at ours growing up. If I didn’t know it before though, I’d certainly know it now. Finding your fated mate was meant to be joyous and an all-encompassing experience, but Brett hadn’t even named Willow and his parents were pushing for him to consider the alliance with Alicia. I can now see why Lizzie didn’t warm to Alicia. I was seeing her true colours and she was being disrespectful to my sister, who is her future Luna to the Northern packs. My elbows were on my desk and my head resting in my hands as I listened to them go back and forth. I was getting a migraine, so I started to rub my temples. I had a large pile of paperwork on my desk still to work through and was one more snarky comment away from kicking them off my land. I felt Oliver trying to connect with me and I granted him access to the mind-link. “Alpha! I thought Willow wasn’t training toda
Lugh POV My sister had informed me of her vision of Onara Eardwulf and exactly where I needed to be. She was younger than I expected and a little naive. It was clear she had no idea of her heritage and her strength. I could feel the bindings on her and hear the whispers of magic under her skin. Poor thing. I hope it didn’t hurt her. She was quite a beauty; she has long wavy light brown hair, rosy cheeks and hazel eyes with gold flakes in them. I knew instantly the gold flakes were the trace of magic. Once we reached the bus stop, I took her hand and walked her towards the edge of the village to a Tudor style house that I had been renting whilst in Kent. Our grandparents originated from Ireland and after the death of my parents, my sister and I relocated to Hampshire. We lived in the New Forest area in a small witch community due to the readily available herbs and wildlife. As we entered the front door Willow gazed around and looked fearful of the dried lavender hanging by the door.
