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.
Brett POV I was losing my mind! Willow had run away from me and I knew she overheard my parents and Alicia. After trying to chase Willow down, we lost her scent and after searching a wide perimeter we had no choice but to come back and try to use technology to trace her. She had turned her phone off, so we traced her to a bus stop and then it was almost like she had vanished into thin air. I’d directed my men to go straight to the area, but she was long gone. They had then followed the bus route to the next main Town but again at every bus stop…nothing. I was pulling my hair out. Jeremy was on a war path trying to direct his men to find a lead. My parents were confused at our worry, and I was forced to tell them Willow was my mate. I hadn’t told them because I knew they would expect her to go straight into Luna training, but I didn’t want that for Willow just yet. She had lost so much independence since turning 16 and I just wanted to have her to myself. I wasn’t ready to share her
Willow POV Brett is staring down at me with his hands holding on tightly to my hips. I can feel his struggle internally with his wolf, fighting him for dominance. I try to step away from him, but he growls at me which results in a whimper coming from my wolf. She steps closer to him and rubs my cheek against his neck and nips at his skin. Only a love bite, nothing that broke the skin. I can sense her need to calm her mate down and reassure him. She wants to rub her scent into him, to show him, she is only his. His wolf, satisfied by my wolf’s affection, gives back control. Brett starts to breathe more steadily and his grip on my hips loosens slightly. “Little wolf what am I going I do with you?” A husky voice comes out of Brett. “We should leave, you aren’t safe!” He tucks some of my hair behind my ear and places his hand on my neck, his thumb stroking my cheek. I shake my head. He sighs in frustration. “Willow, what’s going on with you?” “I don’t know…Lugh was waiting for me…h
Willow POV“Glad to hear it. It’s good to discuss things, prevents any miscommunication.” Lugh brightly smiles at us both. I hop off Brett and help Lugh unpack the shopping. “I thought stir fry…quick and easy to clean?” Lugh shrugs his shoulders unsure whether we would approve.“Sounds great. I’m happy to cook?” I smile at him keen to thank him for his generosity in keeping me safe.“I won’t poison you Willow!” Lugh laughs at me. Brett, not understanding our joke, jumps up off the chair and stands behind me. He places his hand around my waist and pulls me into him slightly.When dinner is ready, we sit down to quickly eat. Lugh has made it clear he wants to leave as soon as possible to beat any intel Alpha Ash may receive in the next coming days. Once we have finished dinner, Brett and I offer to wash up the dishes. Lugh has been making general small talk with Brett over dinner and he seems to be picking up the vibe of Brett still deciding whether he can be trusted. “We should leave
Brett POV We managed to hit the road before 8pm. Being end of November the evenings were already dark by 5pm, so we had a good cover of darkness to move on. It is a cold chilly evening and Lugh looks ridiculous wrapped up in numerous layers of clothing. He can hardly move his arms as his coat sleeves are extremely tight with all the layers under them. Wils and I can’t help but giggle. I sat in the back with Willow resting next to me. Lugh was driving in front listening to some music on the media system. “Willow you should rest.” Lugh catches my eyes in the rear-view mirror. Getting the sense he wants to talk, I encourage her to rest. “Wils rest on me…Lugh is right…you should get some sleep.” She snuggles up to me and I stroke her hair to help her relax. After 15 minutes she seems to have fallen asleep in my arms which makes me smile. My wolf is feeling very content with his mate in our arms. “Alpha Brett. I appreciate this is difficult for you. That you don’t agree with Willow c
Jeremy POV“Hello…Jeremy? Are you even listening to me?” Dad was snapping his fingers in front of my face. “Sorry Dad, I was lost in thought.” I couldn’t get one small detail off my mind. “What is it?” Dad asks. I sigh and lean back into the chair on the adjacent side to his desk chair. “The night we rescued Wils from the rogues…” I start.Dad growled at the memory. “What about it?” He said through gritted teeth. “Jason was clearly a ringleader…yet they smelt like rogues…but he didn’t. I think he was still part of a pack.” “That would be impossible…for a wolf to go against an Alpha’s order…where did we transfer him?” Dad starts getting papers out from the filing cabinet. This was something Willow had been working on, she was making all our records digital. She was trying to move Dad away from his “dinosaur ways”, as she liked to phrase it. “He went to Alpha Harry Smith’s pack! Why would he disobey the Smith’s, they aren’t a harsh pack?” Dad asks looking at me. I get my phone o
Brett POV The birds are starting to chirp outside as part of their dawn chorus. I look around the room which seems to have a lot of lace and thrills, not really to my taste but it is cosy and I’ve had a good night sleep. My little wolf started to stir quite a lot in her sleep, tossing and turning, but she soon settled down and has been snuggled up to me ever since. She starts to stir and rolls away from me on to her side. I follow her and cuddle her from behind placing my nose into her neck. I start to kiss her neck and suck on her sensitive part where her mate mark will be. She starts to moan in her sleep and move her hips and ass into me. I moan back, my dick becoming instantly hard at the feeling and I start to play with the waist band of her leggings. She turns back into me looking up at me as I hover over her on my side. I take in her beauty, she really is stunning. Her wavy long light brown hair has two little braids, her cheeks are red from our body temperatures, her lips plu
Willow POVI walk to the small upstairs bathroom and turn on the shower. It is a bath shower mixer and the room has pale pink tiles and frilly curtains. Very old fashioned but it suited the character of the house. There was even a toilet roll dolly by the toilet which made me cringe. I grabbed a fresh towel which was stored in the laundry cabinet. My feelings of being inferior running back to me. I know Brett only wants to mark me to remove the sire bond…then what? He’ll reject me and go back to Alicia…my heart couldn’t cope with him rejecting me let alone when marked and our bond even stronger. I run my fingers through the shower stream to check the temperature of the water. It was warm enough. Brett knocks on the bathroom door “Wils…can we talk about this.” My eyes tearing up I step in the shower, my head under the stream to block out his voice. Losing myself in the warmth of the shower, I close my mind off from everything. I start to feel tingles on my hips. When I open my eyes
