My nerves had settled some since Zeke had disappeared into the night, but the adrenaline was fading fast, leaving me exhausted and sore from the full day of activity as Ronnie steered me to sit in one of the four matching chairs surrounding the breakfast table downstairs.
She apologized profusely that Zeke had been able to make it all the way into the lodge to me as she flitted around the kitchen, explaining that her brother had just warned her of the possibility of an interloper before she had registered the foreign voice speaking upstairs.
I could tell that she was beating herself up over the fact, despite her hasty reaction which had aided me in running him off, at least for the time being.
I hurried to assure her that I was fine, and I was. Although my wolf was still scratching at my skin to get out, frantic to eit

Jax I carried my mate up the stairs and straight into the washroom, depositing her in the walk-in shower and taking a step back after making sure that she was steady on her feet. Next, I quickly stripped off my shorts, pleased to see that she had copied my movements with only a slight blush gracing her face as she removed her own clothing and chucked it somewhere in the bathroom behind me, but I only had eyes for her so its final destination was lost on me. My wolf and I felt immensely gratified at her comfort level around us deepening, eliciting a bone-deep level of satisfaction as I marched into the tiled enclosure and reached around Willow to turn the dials to an agreeable setting, guiding her away from where the stream of water would soon emerge. I observed her as she swiftly unwound the thick plaits of her dark hair, lea

Willow My eyes felt like lead weights as I pushed the remnants of the buttery noodles around on my plate, but my movements were sluggish and half-hearted at best. A yawn escaped from my mouth as I relinquished my hold on the utensil. I had eaten a lot more than I thought could, more than I had in a long time, in fact. I supposed it was not surprising, seeing as I had eaten little since breakfast before, bright and early this morning with the two siblings. Ronnie had thankfully suggested procuring a few snacks to munch on when we had talked with the other girls about the ball and while we were at the coffee shop in town, but then we had run into Jax on the way back to the lodge for a late lunch and that was all she wrote. One thing led to another, and well, we had never gotten around to eating anything before he was driving me

Willow I awoke suddenly, a pleasurable feeling racing down my spine and straight to my core, exactly where I felt a hot, pulsing tongue working magic on my vagina as it swirled around the little bundle of nerves. I could feel my channel clenching around two thick digits that were pumping steadily in and out as my back arched up off the bed. I could not help the loud moan that slipped out or the subsequent chorus of his name as he brought me to the peak of ecstasy and right over the edge before doing it all over again, all without giving me a respite. Only after I begged for a breather did he relent, licking every drop of my juices from his long fingers as he withdrew them from my heat and leaving an empty ache persisting in their place. My quavering legs parted as he worked his way up my body to seal his full lips over mine in

Jax I had only been waiting for a few minutes when Willow had returned from the bathroom, looking like the vision she was, despite her only being absent for a short period of time. I loved that her beauty was the effortless type, the kind she was not even aware of. I admit I may have lost myself daydreaming about our future momentarily until she had reached up to gently brush her thumb across my lower lip in a slow, sensual move that ignited my lust de novo. My mate had, understandably, been guarded with her emotions when we had first met, but she had also gradually begun to open up with me over time when we were by ourselves. Be that as it may, there was no mistaking the look of utter devotion that spilled over from her molten chocolate gaze as her eyes locked with mine for a seemingly endless moment in time.

Willow I had not been paying much attention to the males as they strategized, but I had put my two cents in where I had believed it was germane to the current point of discussion. Moreover, I could not help infrequently targeting sly glances Theo’s way as the day progressed onward. His presence here perplexed me, though I did not particularly relish the thought of dredging up the last time I had seen him face to face, so I let my inner query go without any outward questioning as Ronnie and I engaged in our own conversation on the side. When our chat grew stale, we turned our attention back to what the males were still embroiled in deliberating. I had mixed sentiments initially when Reese had advocated for Jax to finally take me home, to where my roots had remained embedded deep within the rich topsoil of the Northern Province.

Willow I gazed over at Ronnie as the silence dragged on. I knew she was aware of who I had meant by him. I did not want to say his name audibly in case Jax was listening, but I was dying to know, even if she could not tell me all of the specifics right this second. The elation I had felt at the prospect of returning home dimmed a bit with the knowledge that my friend would not be returning with us. Even so, I knew she would stay in contact and visit as often as she could. I watched as the indecision flitted across her face briefly and a look of resolve took its place as she nodded her head in affirmation, not daring to confirm anything aloud. My face broke out in a huge smile as I leaned forward to pull her into the circle of my arms, squeezing her tightly for an immeasurab

Jax She did not meet my eyes as she informed me that she was ready to take the next step in our relationship, but I knew she was still shy, even with me. Therefore, her spoken words were enough for my wolf and me to pounce forward in a flash, pulling her tightly against my chest as my lips descended. The words had barely passed the threshold of her lips before mine were on them in a brutal kiss that left no questions concerning my feelings on the matter. However, before I could get carried away, she eased back some to gain my attention, letting the fog clear an adequate amount for me to regain a semblance of order while she began speaking. “Baby, I would love nothing more than to lose myself in you right this second, but we have too many things to accomplish before we leave tomorrow.” She finished in a reluctant tone of voice, her discontentment with the sit

Jax Nothing had turned out like I had expected when I arrived in the South not long ago. The seconds dragged on minutely around me while they seemed to simultaneously slip by like the sands of time, and I lost myself in coming to terms with my new reality. When I finally glanced up, we were back in the kitchen once more. I knew that I must have helped my mate bag up the groceries and carry them inside when we had returned to the lodge, but my mind had been a million miles away while my body had went through the motions mechanically in its absence. However, I could not deny the soothing effect Willow’s mere presence provided throughout my inner turmoil. I was sure she had noticed my inattention and recognized my need for some time to process things on my own for now. Although she did not say as mu

Willow About Three Weeks Later… “Baby, we talked about this. You know we have to go help Ronnie with the final details before the ball. She has been complaining nonstop since we left, and then Scarlett bailed right after, leaving only Mari and her to organize the whole thing.” “We still have three days until the ball, sweetheart. This will only delay us a few hours, and I think we deserve to celebrate a little longer. My sister will be fine once she hears that she is going to be an aunt.” There was no more talking after that, at least nothing coherent as Jax sealed his alluring lips over my kiss-swollen ones once more in a passionate caress that left no questions concerning how he was feeling about my unexpected information. I had not even considered pregnancy when we had completed our bond, but of course I would be the one to get pregnant on the first go around. I was somewhere on the spectrum of freaking the fuck out and overwhelmingly joyful to be bringing another life into

Willow I was startled out of my deep slumber when Jax jumped up with me still ensconced in his arms, the sudden action jostling me awake. I was confused for about a second, but then my brain gradually caught up with the sounds that were filtering into my ears, and I spun my head around in a circle until my eyes connected with Ronnie’s. I did not register the others in the room until after I had leaped up and ensnared my sister in a giant hug in my excitement to see her again so soon. She let out a chuckle before gently pushing me back with a scrunched nose and look of discomfort coloring her expression. I was a bit hurt a first, but I immediately understood her apprehension when she said, “It is great to see you Willow, but you kind of need a bath. It appears that my brother could use one too.” I glanced back to where Jax was currently conversing with his beta and Asher, and I could not deny the actuality of her statement as I took in the dried blood that still streaked across

Jax I had followed Willow’s lead, shifting back into human form and blindly advancing towards the kitchen with my eyes glued to her naked ass. I pulled on some pants, content to follow my mate’s lead, but I realized how stupid the action was when I discarded them a few minutes later so that I could check the house’s security one last time. I was shocked when my wolf was hesitant to leave, but after another careful assessment of the area with my enhanced senses turning up nothing unusual, I pushed aside his worry and set off at a fast clip so that I could return to my mate sooner. I had traveled a few miles, my wolf fighting me the entire way, when the influx of warnings swamped my mind. The border was under attack, and it was by none other than the bear shifters that we had been keeping an eye on. I did not understand how they c

Willow After about an hour of practicing, with Jax refusing to so much as kiss me while we were training, we agreed to call it quits for now. He had only managed to go over a few of the basics due to us being pressed for time, but I felt good about what he did teach me during the allotted period. I also thought that it was kind of cute how serious he was about my preparation if I was being honest. Don’t get me wrong, I was just as invested in making sure that I knew how to protect myself, but I did not think one kiss would deter me from that goal. Irrespective, I was in heaven when he finally leaned down and closed the distance between our bodies, smashing me against his chest as he hoisted me up with ease and thoroughly plundered my mouth. He kissed me until I was out of breath, but then he pul

Willow Jax’s pronouncement of his fears relating to the bears’ possible forthcoming incursion instantly dragged my memories back to the disastrous day that I had found both of my parent’s murdered, the cataclysm that had flipped my whole world upside down on its axis. My vision clouded as my haunted past consumed my awareness, sending me back down into the pit of despair that I had only recently clawed my way out of. I could hear my wolf shouting for me, reaching out to help pull me back from my spiraling downfall, but her presence was muted by the horrific images still revolving through my mind on a reel. Then, out of nowhere, the light fragrance of freshly cut grass began to seep into my consciousness, followed by the aromatic smell of rich coffee as I vaguely felt sturdy arms encircle my waist.

Jax I had known this conversation was coming all along. Regardless, Willow’s words managed to succeed in startling my thoughts away from the dark path that they were previously headed down. While I was thankful for the reprieve, not looking forward to thinking about Ryker being anywhere near my baby sister without my regulation any more than necessary, I found my trepidation almost equal when I considered the topic that she wanted me to fill her in on. I never wanted to keep secrets from my mate, but I also did not want her to worry about the added difficulties that Ryker had heretofore been keeping me up to date with on top of the stress that Zeke’s reappearance had produced. I found myself stuck between a rock and hard place as I was forced to choose between total honesty and protecting her, both mentally and physically.

Willow I muttered a perfunctory greeting in response, not really awake enough to make conversation, but I pulled my long tresses over my shoulders and darted my eyes away from his general direction as I did so. I had not been expecting to see anyone else or I probably would have showered former to coming downstairs, but it was too late to change now, so I resolved on making the best of my current predicament. If I had been thinking clearly earlier, I would have apprehended that there might be others rambling about. This was the pack house of the Northern Province, after all. I could guess that he was trying to be friendly, but I still felt uncomfortable around large men by myself after my experiences with Zeke, so I had remained quiet as I beelined straight for the coffee that drew me in like a magnet wit

Willow I tiredly rolled around in the bed when I awoke, wincing at the soreness I could feel suffusing scarcely used muscles and electing to leave my eyes firmly shut as I reached out blindly, searching for my mate’s large form. Nevertheless, they soared open abruptly when my wandering hands came up with nothing but an empty space and cold sheets during their hunt. Blinking my groggy eyes open, I allowed them a minute to adjust to the bright light of a fully risen sun filtering through the white colored curtains, I had not realized that I had slept in so long, but it did not surprise me with how late Jax had kept me up last night, not that I was complaining. Still, I knew one thing for certain. Those window coverings would be exchanged for a much darker alternative in the near future if I had anything to say about it.

Jax With one powerful lunge forward, my mind fractured momentarily as it was overwhelmed with the sensations of claiming my soulmate at long last. I nebulously noticed that my wolf had managed to express his excitement through a low howl that I could feel all the way down to the tips of my toes as my shoulders strained with exertion and my claws tore into the wooden rail behind my mate’s head. I was struggling to not blow my load, holding my raging member stock-still so that the sensory overload would not send me sprinting over the edge prematurely as I was besieged by the lust drenching me in its deluge at the feeling of her wet heat ensconcing me. I wanted this to last at least until I had her screaming my name as her center compressed around my pulsing length with the resulting tremors of her release before we started the s
