Willow's POV

As his lips met mine, my body froze instantly and my eyes opened wide. I was confused, shocked. I didn't know how to react.

I pulled away as soon as my brain woke up.

Mia…

“What was that?” I asked, trying to read his expression.

Julian had this look in his eyes, he looked shocked at his own actions and maybe even a little overwhelmed. He opened his mouth to say something, his voice was low and gravelly.

“I…” He started to say but then the sound of my phone ringing cut him of

  • His Brother's Fated Mate   You're The One

    Willow's POVI couldn't sleep. I kept turning over and over again in my bed. I kept seeing Tecans, the man in the motel and Stella. It was like a nightmare trifecta. I sat for a couple of hours, stared at the ceiling and when I finally closed my eyes again. I saw Julian running to me with a bouquet of flowers and a wide smile on my face. I was not nervous, confused or scared like I was in real life. I was smiling and impatiently waiting to receive the flowers and hug him but just as the flowers reached my hands, they turned rotten and I heard a loud sobbing behind me. I turned around and Mia was there crying her eyes out and pointing at me. ***********It was the time of the day that I had been dreading. Riding to school with Julian. I wanted to catch a ride with Logan but I did not want Chloe’s drama. So here I was climbing into Julian’s car even though I wanted to be anywhere else. “Yesterday” Julian started to say in a low voice as he started the engine. I held the seatbelt

  • His Brother's Fated Mate   Awkward

    Willow's POV As his lips met mine, my body froze instantly and my eyes opened wide. I was confused, shocked. I didn't know how to react. I pulled away as soon as my brain woke up. Mia… “What was that?” I asked, trying to read his expression. Julian had this look in his eyes, he looked shocked at his own actions and maybe even a little overwhelmed. He opened his mouth to say something, his voice was low and gravelly. “I…” He started to say but then the sound of my phone ringing cut him off. I brought it out of my pocket and looked at the caller just before the ringing died. "It’s Lucas" I whispered. “oh shoot” I grimaced as I remembered that "I was supposed to meet him by 8:00" Julian nodded and looked at me. "He may still be waiting for you" with that said, he turned on the car's engine and started the car. The car ride back was so awkward and silent that I could practically hear my own racing thoughts. Every time I glanced at him, he was staring straight ahead at

  • His Brother's Fated Mate   Not dumb

    Willow's POV"Sorry. I wasn't listening. What were you saying?" I asked Julian as I focused my gaze on him. He glanced at me with concern. "Is everything okay? You're not normally this distant"I thought about telling him about what Stella told me but I wasn't sure if I could just yet. So instead I just asked what had been on my mind before Stella. I looked at him and pointed an aggressive finger in his direction. "What sick game are you playing with Mia?"I flinched as he grabbed my finger and pulled me closer. My eyes went wide in shock at what he did. “What are you doing?” I managed to pull my hand away from his hold and I moved back. My eyes stayed glued to his. I wanted to read his expression as he tried to explain himself. "I knew that you would bring this up" he said with a sigh "You told me you liked someone else and now you are dating her" I argued."Chill, I know it sounds bad" he replied and turned to face the steering wheel. He was avoiding my eyes. I nudged his sh

  • His Brother's Fated Mate   Noticing...

    Willow’s POV"I do not like him " I replied quickly and involuntarily raised my hands up. I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks.Cassie’s smile widened as she moved closer to me "I saw how you looked at him just now. You practically stopped breathing when he wiped his face"I adjusted my seat on the bleachers, trying to look anywhere but at the court or at Cassie"I just looked at him. What do you mean?"Cassie hit my arm playfully. "You know exactly what I mean, Willow"I unconsciously looked back at the field where Lucas was playing. He had a determined look on his face as he ran with the ball. He managed to dribble past each player and threw the ball into the net with such ease it looked like he was even bored. He turned to where I was sitting and our eyes met again, he had a smug smile and I immediately looked away. I could feel the heat in my cheeks again. And then a realization hit me. I sucked in a breath. Cassie was right. I did like him. It was not just the mate’s

  • His Brother's Fated Mate   Toxic Negativity

    Willow’s POVI sat across from Mia at our usual lunch table. The cafeteria food was not bad but my mind was elsewhere. I should’ve been thinking of the Tecans or last night but all I could think of was Julian and Mia. I could not hold it in anymore, I had to ask. "What happened with Julian?" I asked in a low voice "Last night he told me that he turned you down"Mia picked up a fry and shrugged as she munched it down. "Maybe he realized he was wrong" she said with a bright smile.I frowned. Something was definitely wrong. Last night the way Julian spoke to me. He was relieved to turn Mia down. It wasn’t a mistake. He had specifically told me he liked someone else, but I could not bring myself to say that to her face."Something just seems off, Mia” Her smile dropped instantly. She let out an annoyed huff. "Can't you just be happy for me?" she snapped. "All this negativity is really toxic"I pulled back, vividly stung by her words."Im sorry" I apologized quickly.Before I could s

  • His Brother's Fated Mate   Something Is Strange

    Willow’s POV“Some people are just naturally nice” I gave Lucas a pointed look. “Not everyone has an agenda”He shrugged my words off“I didn’t ask you here so we could argue about Julian”“Why did you ask me here?” I swallowed hard and met his eyes.Part of me wondered if this was the moment. Was he going to take back his rejection? In this library, surrounded by beautiful books and the quiet, historical atmosphere, it would be the perfect setting.“The monster that attacked us. There’s a book on it here” Lucas said.Oh. I facepalmed myself. Why did I think we would be here for anything else? “Maybe there’s a book that explains your powers too” he added “I don’t have powers” I argued. “It was just a spur of the moment”“You had a vision before and now this. Willow, isn’t it clear that there is something different about you?”I let out a heavy sigh. Maybe being different was appealing to some people, but not to me. I had lived most of my life without a wolf, and being an outsider

    Lucas’s POVI tried to stay away. I really did. But my mind kept drifting to her. I wondered how she was doing.Willow had faced two rejections in a single day and the same day she got her wolf. That was enough to break a seasoned warrior, let alone a girl who had spent her life being treated like a

  • His Brother's Fated Mate   Just A Bag

    Willow’s POVI managed to trudge back to my room, every step felt like I was dragging weights attached to my ankles. My head was pounding, a rhythmic drumming that synced with the agonizing ache in my chest. My heart beat with a hollow, frantic thud, and in the back of my mind, I could hear Skylar
