Willow POV Before I have a chance to look over at our table. Jeremy had rushed over to the bar at an alarming speed. He pulls me behind him and stands in between Ash and myself. The two Alphas square up to each other and snarls leave their mouths. “Jeremy!” I shout through the mind link. “This is a human place, and everyone is looking.” Jeremy’s arm goes behind my back, and he pulls me in close to his back. The men that were sitting with Ash, all stand up and come over to the bar. In a counteractive move Thomas, Zack, Leo and even Louis come over and stand around me. They fully engulf me in a protective bubble. Totally unnecessary I think to myself. The Alpha was just about to leave and Jeremy has now started a fucking standoff. “Alphas please stop!” I say out loud, placing my hand on Jeremy’s back. Ash breaks his stare off with my brother and looks at me.“Good night, Princess!” He whips his head to the side to indicate to his group that they are leaving. The men start to exit bu
Zack POV I watch as Beta Thomas quickly follows Willow out of the restaurant. Without our Beta on site, I need to ensure our men are fully attentive to security detail. I put my full attention back onto the Alpha Family at the table. Alpha Nicholas, who is usually of a calm nature, is glaring at Alpha Jeremy.“That was a bit much son.”Louis scoffs.“What?” Jeremy sharply asks him. “He can’t seem to leave her alone!” He says flatly. “He is stationed to protect her Louis, by my order. He can’t and will not leave her alone!” Alpha Nicholas responds his Alpha aura rolling off him. Luna Eve places her hand on her mate’s arm to calm him down.“Willow will be fine with Thomas. Jeremy, you owe her an apology! But for now, let’s enjoy the meal and our Luna’s birthday.” She sweetly adds looking at Lizzie and engaging in conversation with her parents once more.Alpha Nicholas stands up and pulls his mobile out from his pocket. He makes a call and places the phone to his ear.“Willow darling,
Willow POV It took me 3 days to wake up after the rogue attack. On day 5 I wasn’t feeling as weak and my appetite was returning. I remained in the medical centre and Samantha stayed close as her father is Dr Gibson. She had been helping him out all summer and I must say she was doing a great job. She cleaned my wounds a couple of times a day and replaced the bandages. Mum and Dad constantly popped in and so did Louis. Jeremy hadn’t been in yet and neither had Lizzie which hurt, but no doubt he was keeping her busy. I put my lunch down on the bed tray and slowly stand up from off the bed. I felt so disgusting, I needed a hot shower but needed to see how long my legs could stand for. I push myself off the bed with a wobble and start to walk over to the ensuite shower room. Nope, my legs are like jelly! I start to fall but before I hit the floor, I feel a strong pair of arms catch me. His familiar scent is comforting and I turn to look at him.“Thank you, Thomas, but I need to try.” “I
Willow POV 1 year laterThe last year has been shit, and that is putting it lightly. The rogue attacks have been more frequent and every time we feel like we are getting somewhere, they change tactics. They are pestering the other packs in our area but not as much as us. Why? What did they want? I deferred university! My parents were disappointed, and Lizzie and Samantha begged for me to go with them, but I couldn’t. I can’t explain it, but I had a sense I needed to stay here. Thomas had been a god send. We have been looking into the rogues and I’ve been freeing him up for scout missions by doing the paper-based research. Louis had told me about the symbols on my wolf’s fur, but no one seemed to have experienced anything like this before. From the pictures Louis has drawn of the markings my research led me to think they belong to the old Celtic language. There had been a few comments and not wanting to make a big deal of it for now, I didn’t take part in pack runs or pack training.
Willow POV Nothing! Thomas and the team found nothing. I had a weird feeling that the rogues were trying to divert our eyes in one direction, so they could go under radar somewhere else. I’m absolutely exhausted! I’m in Dad’s office going through his paperwork for any leads. I also process some necessary pack payments that he had left to the last minute. The medical team had made Mum a sleeping draught out of herbs to help her nerves. She was beside herself with worry and struggled to leave Dad’s side. I hear a knock on the door and look up as Zack walks in.“Princess Willow, the doctor would like to see you!” He takes in my dishevelled hair and exhausted appearance. I stand up and lead us out of the room. We walk to the pack medical centre and I meet Doctor Gibson outside Dad’s room.“Miss Willow thank you for coming.” Doctor Gibson greets me. Zack stands behind me and Thomas no doubt having been mind-linked by the Delta, walks toward us. The doctor ushers us into the privacy of hi
Jeremy POV Lizzie was perfect! I can’t believe the moon Goddess blessed me with such a sexy, beautiful and intelligent mate. I felt guilty that I had been in the capital with her supporting her at university, I just couldn’t stay away from her. Yet the pack tried to ease my guilt and even though I hadn’t spoken to Dad for a while, Willow had told me everything was fine. Boring in fact and to enjoy the time bonding with Lizzie. I owed my sister a lot. She had been helping Dad with the running of the pack, but also processing the daily administration for our side businesses. Lizzie and Samantha were missing her and I could now sense that Willow formed the foundation of their group.Willow was adamant that she was learning a lot at home and wanted to support Lizzie and me going forward. She had even implemented new security technology that seemed to be working wonders by assisting our warriors when they were out of the pack mind-link range. Louis and Mum were being quiet, but too be hone
Willow POVWe have returned back home and I am sitting in the front room while Jeremy is pacing the floor in the hallway. Mum and Dad start to come down the stairs with a bleary-eyed Louis. Thomas and Zack are standing behind me by the sofa. “What on earth has happened for your father to be woken up from his bed and brought downstairs?” Mum angrily asks, helping Dad walk down the stairs. Jeremy looking at Dad’s current state doesn’t reply. Clearly too shocked by the comparison of the father he saw a few weeks ago. “Jeremy son, we weren’t expecting you back so soon. Is everything ok with Lizzie?” Dad kindly comments. Jeremy looks at me and I frown. I know he is angry at me, but this is the exact reason I didn’t tell him. He won’t leave now, he can’t. Even without his ceremony he has now officially become the new Alpha. I wanted them to have more time together. “I’m sorry to wake you Mum and Dad. I think I deserve a few explanations as to why Willow is carrying out pack decisions and
A wolf in sheep’s clothing Alpha Ash POVI’ve worked really hard trying to get Willow on side. I don’t do patient and I was starting to really lose it. We needed access to their lands. The rogue attacks I orchestrated were working a treat. All the local packs were becoming flustered and I was chipping away at their defences, albeit slowly. I was becoming a strong ally. I needed less eyes on the upcoming deliveries and the Johnson pack lands would cut out the main roads.Growing up I hated Jeremy, Brett and their group of mates. I still do! So, suggesting marriage to Willow would not only solve the delivery issue, but also, I’d have power over the Johnsons in the form of having their princess as my bitch. They’d never be able to say no to me. I also knew it would infuriate Jeremy which brought me extra joy. Surprisingly my wolf was starting to like Willow and she was incredibly attractive, I’d certainly have fun keeping her in my bed. I was pretty certain Brett was Willow’s fated mate
Willow POV Present Day“Willow…Willow?” Dr Gibson tries to break me out of my shocked state. “Twins? Are you sure?” “Yes my dear. I think we should call Alpha Brett…Samantha can you contact him please.” Dr Gibson asks his daughter, my childhood friend Samantha, to contact my mate. Samantha has been helping the pack Doctor, her Father, out during term breaks from university but with the recent attack on our pack, she has been helping him daily to assist with the pack injuries. I had been in the Alpha Mansion, my childhood home, when it was attacked by warlocks. A spell had been placed to stop me from jumping out my bedroom window and with the flames too strong I couldn’t get out any other way. Thomas, the pack Beta, sacrificed his life to be with me, to save me. Since the death of my friend, I had been in a state of shock and numbness. The simplest of tasks exhausted me and my mate Brett, my parents, my Brother’s Jeremy and Louis, and my warlock friend Lugh had been keeping an eye
Her King Alpha Mate Book 2 of the Trinity Knot series. Prologue Imogen POV3.5 years agoMy vision was clear, the future King Alpha mate and the brother Alpha were to visit me at my stall in Camden market. However I could not get an exact precise date, only the month and year. Like an idiot, I’d been here for days waiting, trying to find them in the crowd. I had plenty of tourists acquire my skills which has filled my pockets nicely. I am a blood witch. I am different from an element coven witch and we are today known as vampires. Curse those warlocks for ousting my ancestors and spreading rumours about us. Just because they didn’t understand our power. We now live in cities, away from the country-side covens. Our power requires blood to taste. We can read the past and future as one drop of blood touches our tongues. We do not suck humans dry, that is a myth conjured by said warlocks to keep us away, betraying us resulting in being hunted for centuries. I could feel the change co
Epilogue Willow POV 5 days had passed since Thomas was taken from us. We laid him to rest at the pack graveyard where he would join his family. An only child with no descendants of his own, his family line had finished. After waking up from the fire, I just remained in a state of shock. Everyone took it in turns to stay with me. Almost as if I would do something silly. My wolf kept whispering to me. “Another one…not another one.”She felt disappointed with me for not saving him. I felt disappointed with myself. After the bindings being lifted I thought I’d feel free and empowered. But it was short lived and I just felt sad and exhausted. Brett had barely left my side and if he needed to, my parents, Jeremy, Louis or Lugh watched me. The nightmares came mainly at night where I was trying to reach Thomas down a corridor covered in smoke and flames but I could never get to him in time. I would then wake up sweating and gasping for breathe. I would then be hushed back to sleep or i
Louis POVI had to get Willow out of there, staring at our Beta’s lifeless body wasn’t good for her. She cared deeply for Thomas, she always cares. I started to walk her back to the pack house when her legs give way to exhaustion and she collapses in my arms. I pick her up and carry her in my arms. I hear running footsteps behind me when I turn to find Brett, Lugh and Oliver racing towards me. “What happened?” Brett asks trying to reach for Willow. I move her away from his reach and start walking back to the pack house. “She collapsed. I’m taking her to the pack house.” “Louis she needs the medical centre.” Brett growls at me. I turn and growl at him. “Don’t tell me what to do with my sister.” Brett’s eyes turn dark emerald green as a growl escapes his chest. “Louis…give her to me…now!” Brett seethes with anger. “No Brett, you and Jeremy have failed her. I won’t, I’ll protect her!” I shout back as I storm off with them chasing closely behind. “Louis…” Oliver tries to calm me
Willow POV After they left, I decided to have a bath and relax before climbing into bed. I hadn’t felt right all day and something was nagging at me inside. I had drifted off at midnight only to be woken up by shouting and our pack alarm going off. We were under attack. I try to push for my parents through the mind link but both had it closed off. I got out of bed when I heard a blood curdling scream and a multitude of explosions hit the ground floor. I race out of my room to the stairs to find fire had already engulfed the downstairs door and hallway, also blocking my route to the back door. The flames start to climb the stairs and I race back into my bedroom. I open my window to jump out when I can’t seem to get past the window frame. Almost like an invisible barrier stopping me. Witchcraft! Panicking I raced back into the hallway to find it is now engulfed by smoke and flames. I can’t even get into my parent’s room. I try to cover my mouth and shout for help. Everyone must
Brett POVI heard the rest of them talking about hitting a few bars in town. Too be honest, we all needed a little bit of normality. “Can we go to?” Lizzie asks Jeremy pouting. “Fine!” He huffs. “But I expect a thank you later!” He winks at her grabbing onto her hip from behind. “Ew gross.” Willow tries not to choke on her drink. “Like you can talk.” Jeremy says gently slapping his hand across the back of Willow’s head. “You guys coming?” Lizzie turns to Willow. “You guys go…I might just call it a night.” Willow says looking at the clock. “I’ll stay?” I offer. “No you go babe, Mum and Dad will be back from visiting the new pup with Doctor Gibson. Plus I’m so drained…I just need a bath, a movie and to sleep.” She says kissing me on the cheek as she hops off the kitchen bar stool. “You sure?” It doesn’t feel right leaving her but if she needs time to herself. I don’t want to get in her way. She nods biting her lip. “Perhaps you can wake me up when back?” She says snaking her
Lugh POV I was already heading back to Kent. This time Orla and Cara with me. They had bonded really well and Cara seemed to have settled in with the coven. She was helping to teach the children potions and basic casting which was appreciated by the elders. She still felt guilty for her part in assisting Alpha Ashley and she was going into overdrive trying to make amends. We reached the Johnson Pack security gate and Leo waved me in. We parked up and knocked on the Alpha home. We could hear laughter inside so when Jeremy opened the door covered in toilet paper, Orla and Cara couldn’t withhold their fit of giggles. We walked in to see Lizzie also covered in toilet paper with Willow pouring vodka into shot glasses. “What’s going on?” Orla asks as she walks past me to grab a shot. “Games night. We thought we’d try the future married couple in their wedding attire.” Samantha responds loudly, clearly intoxicated. Brett nods to me and Willow walks over giving me a hug. “No kissing this
Willow POV It was the sun shining at my eyes that woke me up. I checked the time 1pm. Whoops I really did have a late night. I felt fantastic, rejuvenated and happy for the day ahead. I woke up to find Brett sitting on my bed with his laptop. As I sat up in bed he looked up at me. “Wils, your awake?” He said tucking my hair behind my ear. I smiled at him, at his cuteness for letting me lay in. “You could have used Jeremy’s office, I’m sure he wouldn’t have minded. You didn’t need to stay with me.”He looks at me oddly before replying. “Have you seen the state of Jeremy’s desk? Plus I’ve put pack business to the side a bit too long and Dad has been moaning at me.” “Brett if you need to go home..” I suddenly felt bad that we spent all our time here and not at his pack. “I’m quite capable of surviving a day with out you believe it or not!” I laugh. He continues to look at me oddly as he closes his laptop. “How are you feeling?” “Good, hungry.” I bounce out of bed and head for
Jeremy POVI quietly put some training clothes on while Lizzie sleeps peacefully in our bed. I’ll be back before she wakes none the wiser. She looked absolutely stunning last night and I still can’t believe she is all mine. I couldn’t wait to get her out of her dress last night, every time we tried to sneak out of the party, an alpha, a luna, a beta came up to congratulate us. My dick had been hard since I first saw her in that dress. I quietly close the door and walk over to Louis’ door. I open it gently to see him placing his shoes on. He looks up at me with sleepy eyes. “Morning.” He yawns at me. “Morning mate. You alright?”“Yeah, a late one but all good.” He nods at me. We walk down the steps to the middle floor to hurry Brett up. We gently knock on Willow’s door but get no answer. Gently opening the door and walking in. We find Brett spooning Willow from behind. Giggling Louis throws one of Brett’s shoe at his head which goes unnoticed by the two sleepers. Giggling, I also
