Chapter Fifty-Three
Jax
I had only been waiting for a few minutes when Willow had returned from the bathroom, looking like the vision she was, despite her only being absent for a short period of time. I loved that her beauty was the effortless type, the kind she was not even aware of.
I admit I may have lost myself daydreaming about our future momentarily until she had reached up to gently brush her thumb across my lower lip in a slow, sensual move that ignited my lust de novo.
My mate had, understandably, been guarded with her emotions when we had first met, but she had also gradually begun to open up with me over time when we were by ourselves.
Be that as it may, there was no mistaking the look of utter devotion that spilled over from her molten chocolate gaze as her eyes locked with mine for a seemingly endless moment in time.

Willow I had not been paying much attention to the males as they strategized, but I had put my two cents in where I had believed it was germane to the current point of discussion. Moreover, I could not help infrequently targeting sly glances Theo’s way as the day progressed onward. His presence here perplexed me, though I did not particularly relish the thought of dredging up the last time I had seen him face to face, so I let my inner query go without any outward questioning as Ronnie and I engaged in our own conversation on the side. When our chat grew stale, we turned our attention back to what the males were still embroiled in deliberating. I had mixed sentiments initially when Reese had advocated for Jax to finally take me home, to where my roots had remained embedded deep within the rich topsoil of the Northern Province.

Willow I gazed over at Ronnie as the silence dragged on. I knew she was aware of who I had meant by him. I did not want to say his name audibly in case Jax was listening, but I was dying to know, even if she could not tell me all of the specifics right this second. The elation I had felt at the prospect of returning home dimmed a bit with the knowledge that my friend would not be returning with us. Even so, I knew she would stay in contact and visit as often as she could. I watched as the indecision flitted across her face briefly and a look of resolve took its place as she nodded her head in affirmation, not daring to confirm anything aloud. My face broke out in a huge smile as I leaned forward to pull her into the circle of my arms, squeezing her tightly for an immeasurab

Jax She did not meet my eyes as she informed me that she was ready to take the next step in our relationship, but I knew she was still shy, even with me. Therefore, her spoken words were enough for my wolf and me to pounce forward in a flash, pulling her tightly against my chest as my lips descended. The words had barely passed the threshold of her lips before mine were on them in a brutal kiss that left no questions concerning my feelings on the matter. However, before I could get carried away, she eased back some to gain my attention, letting the fog clear an adequate amount for me to regain a semblance of order while she began speaking. “Baby, I would love nothing more than to lose myself in you right this second, but we have too many things to accomplish before we leave tomorrow.” She finished in a reluctant tone of voice, her discontentment with the sit

Jax Nothing had turned out like I had expected when I arrived in the South not long ago. The seconds dragged on minutely around me while they seemed to simultaneously slip by like the sands of time, and I lost myself in coming to terms with my new reality. When I finally glanced up, we were back in the kitchen once more. I knew that I must have helped my mate bag up the groceries and carry them inside when we had returned to the lodge, but my mind had been a million miles away while my body had went through the motions mechanically in its absence. However, I could not deny the soothing effect Willow’s mere presence provided throughout my inner turmoil. I was sure she had noticed my inattention and recognized my need for some time to process things on my own for now. Although she did not say as mu

Willow I could tell that Jax still had a lot of emotions to sift through, aside from the fact that he probably had a million details to organize before our departure tomorrow, as well. I knew he would talk to me if he needed to, and that was enough for my wolf to allow me to get busy with the preparations for dinner. I whizzed around the kitchen, feeling in touch with my mother as I used our family recipe to make the lattice topped apple pie and fried the chicken in Crisco concurrently on the stovetop. I had also made some baked macaroni and roasted asparagus to go along with our meal, but it all came down to a waiting game as soon as I pulled the last piece of crispy chicken from the blistering pan of grease. Following, I peeked into the oven to observe the development of the confection, noticing with relief the lightly brown

Jax I trudged up the stairs after an emotional goodbye with my sister. I saw her to the door and made her promise to mind link with me when she made it home safely. I knew the others had everything under control for the time being, but I could not help the worry that continued to suffuse me where my sister was concerned. I located Willow snuggled up in the downy bedding upon entering the room, noticing the moisture and light fragrance that still permeated the air from her recent shower. As much as I wanted to crawl right into the bed next to her, I somehow resisted the temptation and made my way into the bathroom to clean up after another taxing day. I felt the anxiety creeping up on me again, beyond ready to finally be home in my own territory with Willow by my side, right where she would always belong. My wolf howled his agr

Willow I continued to struggle with coming back down from the mountain peak that Jax had rocketed my fatigued body to at a heretofore unparalleled rate, but in the back of my mind, my wolf jumped for joy as his growled words managed to register through my utter state of bliss. I felt the stirring they induced in my already overexerted body, only compounding further with the heat that had arisen from the wicked look in his mesmerizing eyes as he had cleaned my sticky juices from his calloused hand, but he had only tugged me tighter into his side when he was done, pressing a tender kiss against my temple as my eyes lazily drifted shut in pure serenity. I found myself both excited and nervous for when we would irrevocably clinch our mating, the enticing scent emanating from the crook of his neck, where I had nuzzled my nose into subconsciously, abetting in mudd
Mated to the Alpha of the North Chapter Sixty-One
Willow I was jolted awake by the decreasing momentum of the car, or at least I think that was what had roused me. The last thing I had recollected was staring out the window as the trees surrounding us on either side of the small road blurred while we had sped onward, leaving the Eastern Province far behind us in the distance. Don’t get me wrong, it was a gorgeous sight, especially after approximately two years of staring at the same monotonous walls most days, but I could only admire the nature encircling me for so long before my wolf would start scratching at my skin to get out. I shook the grogginess from my sleep away, permitting my eyes to pivot around until they conclusively locked with Jax’s. Next, he had spoken those sweet words that had made me melt a little on the inside, but I could see by the darkening of his gaze
