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

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 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

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“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
