Chapter Nineteen
Willow
I allowed a grateful sigh to escape as I looked down at the clothes Ronnie had given me. I pulled on the yoga pants and sports bra she had given me without a second thought and then went to pull the t-shirt over my head.
However, I noticed that the size of the shirt was disproportionate to the rest of the clothing I had been given, and the giant t-shirt smelled just like Jax. I guess he wanted to make his own contribution to my wardrobe I mused; that, and the fact that he wanted his scent on me no doubt.
I could not find it in myself to complain though as I pulled the soft fabric over my head. I took a deep breath of the rich coffee and fresh cut grass smell that was uniquely him.
Taking a moment to steady myself, and my control over my wolf, I took several deep breaths before exiting the bathroom. Jax was waiting for m

Jax I watched my mate as she fought to stay awake. My wolf and I felt relief when we saw the trust shining out through her eyes. I knew she would still worry until I got rid of Zeke permanently, and make no mistake I would, but I also knew that she would trust me to protect her until that time came. I could hear Ronnie coming down the hall now. Willow’s chocolate colored eyes had been waging a losing war against the weight dragging her eyelids down. They had just closed for what appeared to be the last time when Ronnie walked through the door. Noticing Willow’s drowsy state, she kept her voice down when she spoke, “Hey, I see she is getting some rest. I was a little worried she would be anxious, but I guess there is something to be said about the mate bond after all.” My wolf rejoiced at her words, feeling ecstatic that we ha

Jax I clambered out of the bunker with Asher, not quite as angry as I was before I entered but still pretty pissed, despite the release of pent up energy and aggression I had expelled below. I noticed the sun was just rising above the canopy of trees in the east. I looked down at myself and grimaced at the large blood splatter that covered the front of my shirt, not to mention the dried blood that I knew still coated my skin. I gazed over at Asher, noticing that he fared little better, but at least he did not have a mate to return to yet. I considered my options while shooting a quick but sincere thanks to Reese through our mind link for offering to stick around with the remaining male until the bunker could be cleaned. We had agreed to split the alpha’s responsibilities here in the South until a replacement could be found; however, I was thankful that Rees

Willow I awoke sometime later, though I was not sure how much later, feeling a little sore and a lot weak, nothing new for me of course, yet I somehow still managed to feel better than I could remember feeling since arriving here in the South. I had been dealing with the exhaustion and physical pain for so long that it seemed a near constant, but maybe there would be a light at the end of the tunnel after all, I thought hopefully to myself. I stretched out in the soft bed, enjoying being able to do so with minimal pain for once, before rolling over and looking for Jax, at my wolf’s request. Okay, maybe I wanted to see him too. There. I could admit to myself at least. I noticed Ronnie sitting in his chair, the one I had started calling Jax’s in my head for some reason, seemingly lost in a book. I cleared

Jax As I neared the door to Willow’s room, I could sense her distress bleeding through the walls, driving my wolf and I insane with the urge to ease our mate’s anguish. I burst through the door without a second thought, my wolf having taken the reins, and barreled towards the bed where I saw her panic-stricken eyes, brimmed with salty tears, unaware that I had even smashed my way into the room. The tray of food that I had stopped in the kitchen for on my way in had thankfully survived somehow, though I shoved it into Ronnie’s arms as I rushed to my mate’s side. I did the only thing it crossed my mind to do in that moment, I picked her up and sat her in my lap, wrapping my arms securely around her small frame, not even considering that she might not want me so near her this soon. However, she me

Jax I glanced down at Willow after the door had shut completely. She still appeared to be doing alright, but my wolf and I would continue to worry until we completed the mating bond. I still had the overwhelming urge to claim Willow; it was nearly unbearable to resist, in fact, despite my exhausted state. The only thing that allowed me to abstain was knowing that her fragile mental state could not handle it yet. Her needs would always come before my own, and she just was not ready. I was thankful she allowed me to hold her, cradled in my lap as she did, but I suspected that had more to do with her alarm when I had first arrived in the room earlier. Nevertheless, I could see the clear adoration in her eyes as she gazed up into mine. I could also see the hesitation, unfortunately. I knew that was

Willow Everything had started to fade, but then Jax was there, and not for the first time either. It seemed that I was destined to continue being saved by my mate, the one Luna had chosen for me alone. I knew that I had been on the edge of having a full-blown panic attack before Jax had arrived in the room and scooped me up into his arms. I had zoned everything out in that moment, except the dreadful words that Ronnie had spoken. I was a bit ashamed to admit that I did not even know Jax was there until he was depositing me gently into his lap, quietly murmuring soothing words in my ear periodically, as he rubbed small circles over my back. Any inclination I might have had to protest the intimate position immediately fled as soon as his intoxicating scent filled my nostrils. The smell of fresh cut grass and the rich, almost nutty, aroma of coffee subsumed all

Willow I had fallen asleep, feeling optimistic for the future after having received a promise from Jax for us to move into his lodge after we had rested for a while. I would have insisted on moving immediately, with as much as I hated being inside this house, but I had found myself exhausted and slightly weak still, most likely caused by the remnants of wolfsbane in my system. Jax’s tired eyes had also further encouraged me to wait until after we had gotten some sleep to make the move. I had allowed myself to fall asleep within the safety of his arms, all of my worries having faded away for the time being. I felt more revitalized after my nap with Jax, much more so than I could recall ever feeling, in fact. I had been having a dream, though I could not remember what it had been about, but I awoke feeling blissfully happy so it

Jax I stood locked in place like a lovestruck fool for a few moments while I waged a war with my wolf. He wanted to barge into the bathroom and finish what Willow had unintentionally started. I mean, I wanted that too, but I knew that would not be the right thing to do. Instead, I took a few moments to rein in the desire for now, and then I checked in with Ronnie through our mind link to make sure everything was set for the move later today while I waited on Willow. I could hear her moving around in the bathroom while I paced the small room. I could not deny the satisfaction I had felt seeing her wearing my shirt when she had first emerged from the bathroom last night, but I was troubled over her lack of personal belongings. There was a reason Ronnie was giving Willow clothes, despite their differences in size and the fact that Willow was supposed to live in
