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 POVWe managed to actually have a shower this time! Although, the water lost its heat quickly however Brett warmed me up by drying me with a towel. He made a point of ensuring my breasts, bum and lady bits were dry.We were in the kitchen making tea and breakfast when Lugh walks in through the front door. “Good morning!” He chimes as he walks through to the kitchen. He shakes Brett’s hand and walks over kissing me on the cheek. Brett growls at this but Lugh only smiles looking at my neck. He touches my mark which is still a little red. It will take the shape of a slightly pink rash mark…like a strawberry mark but very low key to the human eye. A wolf’s eyesight allows for a better vision of mate marks, especially on she-wolves, where male-wolves need to know if a female has already been claimed. “You have been marked Willow!” He says, not a question but more of a matter of fact.“Congratulations!” “Erm thanks Lugh.” I respond touching my mark just to check it is still there.

Willow POV I wake up before Brett who is nestled into my neck and gripping my waist rather tightly. Apparently, Alphas are possessive even in their sleep. I slowly untangle myself from his embrace and place my pillow there so he can keep on sleeping…hugging the pillow. I giggle to myself. Bless him! I get dressed in some sports attire and head downstairs to make a morning hot drink. I haven’t trained in days and I could hear Thomas in my head moaning that I need to keep up my strength. I miss him! Something I wouldn’t admit to Brett but Thomas had become a good friend and I felt bad at how I left things. Perhaps I should give my parents a call, check on things. I turn my mobile on for the first time in days. So many notifications. I ignore them. I don’t really want to be shouted at from my family for running away so I call Lizzie. She doesn’t answer so I try Samantha, they live together so she will know just as much as Lizzie. “Willow?” Sam greets me questionably. “Hi Sam, how a

Brett POVI’ve been walking for an hour or 2 just to cool off before heading back to the cottage. I wasn’t used to people disobeying me and Willow was an incredibly strong character. Even with the bindings I couldn’t believe the amount of resistance she channelled when I used my alpha command on her. I hated using it on her, but she needed to understand that I am not a push over. I could feel her worry through the bond, worry no doubt about Alicia and what that meant for us. Perhaps I needed to go back for a short while to support Jeremy. Help find Alicia. Willow is right. She shouldn’t be put in danger because I found my soul mate. My phone starts to ring in my pocket. The caller ID says Jeremy so I immediately answer it. “Jer?” “Is Willow with you?” “Not right now, no.” I shamefully admit. “Why, where the fuck is she?” He yells.“Calm down Jer, she is back at the cottage. I’m just giving her some space.”“Why would she need space….what did you do?” “I used my alpha command on

Willow POV We’d been here for over 2 weeks now and I was starting to lose my mind. Brett was really struggling with the lack of pack knowledge and I felt incredibly guilty that he was here with me and not with his pack. I had told him countless times to go and I would wait here. He then would say he wasn’t leaving me. I would then suggest going with him and he would argue that it wasn’t safe for me right now. We sparred each other every day. I couldn’t beat Brett at all. He had a very powerful wolf and my bindings slowed me down. Lugh would pop in every other day to bring us groceries and update us with what he new. I was restless that his sister was wasting our time and even though I hadn’t met her yet, she was starting to irritate me. Today was 14th December, 1 week before the winter solstice. I missed my family, friends and the pack. I just wanted to go home now. I was deflated and didn’t really care any more. I didn’t share this with Brett, I was happy to be with him but my mi
