Willow Owl House Novels & Stories

But she had no idea that I didn’t want to reject her. The hot summer air in Louisiana was no joke, the entire wolf pack often finding itself in the river trying to cool off. Today was no different. But my mate, she didn’t stick around. Willow, what an unusual name. Soft and yielding but stronger than any other trees in our area.

Willow didn’t live too far away, so I put Haley’s CD on and relaxed while Roman backed out the driveway and off we went! I don’t really know what I was expecting from Willow’s house, but when we pulled up it definitely wasn’t what I was expecting. It was large, and the grounds surrounding it would be best to describe it as a field, not a garden. It was all very grand. Large marble decorative animals sat either side of the front door and there was a cute little swinging chair on the porch. I could just imagine how perfect and peaceful that would be in the summer. Roman carried Haley again and I carried her changing bag.

We both said our goodbyes briefly before she got into the SUV and I watched it drive away. Willow showed me a few places around the pack. We couldn't cover much, but I was impressed with the work Lucian had done here. Everything was so different from the Red River Pack. There were two Pack houses structured close to the mansion. Also deeper into the pack lands, houses were built for pack members whose families wanted to live alone. It was more like an estate. There was also a bar and also a quarter for the pack's witches within the pack. I was tempted to find Triss but she had also left last night for the Supreme Court.

“Sorry, we’re fresh out of miracles. You new in town?” “Yeah. I moved into the Varyn House.” His grin evaporated. “You’re living there?” “Temporarily,” I said. “Unless the roof kills me first.” He hesitated, then bagged my things and added a flashlight. “On the house,” he said. “For when the lights go out.” “Why does everyone keep saying that?” He didn’t answer. If ghosts could have favorite hangouts, Willow Creek’s library would be it. Old wood, creaky floors, the smell of dust and time.

She also needed to catch up with work to snatch Zenon’s seat on the board. Nah, Trisha knew how to be kind even if she was like an old witch. Delta long forgot to zero in on Zenon’s seat. Yuri should just pick someone else’s. “Delta, aren’t you a little too giddy?” Wolfram laughed a little as he called out from the door. He was also caught perusing the door of his real house. Ever since they received that threat toward Eine and Foxley, they had relocated to the Willow House. It was nothing but a safe house prepared for Wolfram. That house was also a rather nice home to stay in, but it had nothing on the visage of the Blue Moon Estate.

We didn't always agree, but we always worked it out. We gave the ranch to Willow and moved to a bigger ranch just down the road. Willow had three kids and was going on her fourth. Willow married a guy that she had a huge crush on in high school. She was crazy about him, and the way he looked at her, you could tell the feeling was mutual. Our new house had a living room, dining room, kitchen, game room, and guest bathroom downstairs. There were eight bedrooms upstairs and six bathrooms. Our house was ridiculously huge, but it was good size for us.

she threatened. "Thanks so much, love," Nathan said with sarcasm. "You're welcome, my dear," Willow played along. A few minutes later, they got to a place and Willow realized he lived in a penthouse. "You live in a penthouse?" she asked him when she got down from his back. "No, I live on a farm," he replied which earned him a punch in the gut. ∞ "Your house is pretty," Willow commented as she followed him in. "Thanks," he said and then a white American eskimo ran towards him barking happily. "Hey girl," Nathan grinned as she bent down to pat her head.

I rubbed his feathers to make him even more meek and, as Willow says, we need to step on our blackbirds and let them know we are their master. We were back in our place with our blackbirds. As I said, these blackbirds are one of the ingredients to learn about magic and one of that is the bird language and Willow is our Professor to learn about bird language. Willow is a wizard. He has a lot of special ability, and there’s no doubt that he can guide as very well.

LILLIAN POV The mansion had become bubble of activity, but it was a happy kind of chaos. In just a few days, the pack’s Autumn Gala would be held at the pack house, and the excitement was contagious, even to all the way out here. Willow had practically taken over the sunroom, turning it into her design studio. Folds of fabric were everywhere—rich, velvet, shimmering silt, delicate lace. Sketches were pinned to the walls. She moved with a focused energy, her fingers constantly measuring, pinning, and sketching.

It seems huge now there’s just the two of them there. “I’m not sure about staying here. Werewolves haven’t even stepped inside this house for centuries, let alone slept here,” Alaric begins. “Well it’s my house and I say you’re staying here, so come on.” Willow grins. “Anyway, there’s no way I have the energy to walk back to yours now. I’m tired.” She grasps his hand in her own and pulls him upstairs to her room. Alaric takes a moment to explore the room with his eyes while she locks the door behind them, closing her eyes and making hand gestures to all of the walls. She opens her eyes, her arms falling back to her sides with a smile, and Alaric raises an eyebrow.
