The lingering fragrance that denoted only Willow teased my wolf as he swiftly stalked off after our mischievous mate, making sure to give her a generous head start. Her petite legs would be no match for the speed my wolf could manage if pressed, or so I had thought, but that was not the point of this little foray into the forest anyway.
As my wolf ran through the trees, I was a bit surprised to realize the distance Willow had already covered, causing my wolf to pick up the pace. My wolf felt immense pleasure at our mate’s superior speed, but he was eager to finally catch up with her.
Damn, she was fast I could not help but add in my head as we continued loping off after our wayward mate at a steady speed. The sound of the river increased the further we ran, reducing the distance I could reach with my hearing, but the sight
Phoenix StormFun fact: The owl I reference in the next chapter is a great horned owl. Adults sometime emit a loud scream, among many other sounds, to defend their nests. (Side note, I may be a little obsessed with owls.)

Willow I was fairly certain my wolf had fallen asleep sometime between the water fight, the subsequent wrestling match that ensued later by the bank of the river, and now. After we had exhausted ourselves in the chilly stream and our wolves had finished frolicking by the water, Jax and I had collapsed in a tangled heap underneath a nearby tree, still in our wolf forms. I remembered my wolf nuzzling against him until she had found a more comfortable position to rest in, but that was it. The next thing I knew, we were glancing up to a darkening sky and Jax’s wolf looking out over the horizon. My wolf got up, stretching out her legs before moving forward and gently butting her head up against Jax’s wolf to get his attention. While this little adventure had been much ne

Jax My wolf wanted nothing more than to scale the tree and end the wretched bird who had dared to intrude on our moment with Willow. I kind of wanted the same thing, but I knew that out here in the middle of the forest was not exactly the best place for a romantic interlude, especially not for someone who was clearly as inexperienced as Willow. Don’t get me wrong, I had saved myself for my soulmate too, but I had also messed around some when I was a teenager. I could not resist the temptation of the local girls being my stupid hormone addled self, though I never crossed that final line. So, yeah, I had a bit of experience. None of that mattered now though. Willow was my one and only, and I would wait as long as I had to for her. I would also make damn sure her first time was special. She deserved nothing less.

Willow I wanted to protest sitting in his lap, really just because of the innate intimacy the position implied in front of the others, but I was afraid it would call even more attention to myself. My face was already red as a tomato as it was, and I kind of did need the comfort of his arms surrounding me while I adjusted to all of the changes, if I was being honest with myself. I would apparently have to get used to public displays of affection though if Jax’s current actions were anything to go by. My wolf warned me that he would be more possessive and protective of me with other males around, seeing as we had still not taken that last step together. Rather than listen to my wolf yammer on about the same thing in my head over and over again, I reached down, grabbing the fork Jax had retrieved f

Willow Ronnie broke into my wandering thoughts when she returned with a few items that she had retrieved from the closet. She handed me the items and then gently encouraged me to take a quick shower before we talked anymore. I had been eager to see what Ronnie had procured for me, seeing as it had been several years since I had had anything new, but I found that the late hour and my full belly were catching up with me. I glanced down at what she had handed me, noticing a pair of sleep shorts, panties, and a loose-fitting tank top. I was thrilled to realize that all of the items looked like they would fit me. A shower sounded divine right this moment, but I needed to show Ronnie the depth of my appreciation for all that she had done for me so far before I would be able to enjoy the simple luxury. I gathered the n

Jax I let the water wash over me as I was still reeling from the information Asher and Reese had relayed, mechanically washing my hair and body while I attempted to process the disturbing news. The elders were just gone. All of them. Asher said it looked like they had all fled after he had demanded that first meeting with them and consequently removed them of their precious power. I guess it was not surprising that they had run. They were all cowards, just like that pathetic excuse for an alpha, Zeke. My wolf was still salivating for his blood, but I forced him to take a backseat for the time being. He would have his chance later, but for now, we needed to figure out how to find Zeke in the meantime. The elders had been one of the few leads we had been able to uncover about the location of where he had fled after unceremoniou

Jax I felt my pulse began to pick up as she went to roll over before noticing that she was already halfway on top of me, her eyes popping open to meet my heated hazel ones. She looked so cute with that startled look on her face before it had started to melt away into a look of embarrassment as she moved to get off of me. I reached out, gripping her round hips and readjusting her so that she was straddling me. “Don’t be embarrassed, sweetheart. He is just excited to see you.” My voice was thick with lust and the slight growl that denoted my wolf’s presence. I ground my erection up hard, pressing her down onto my thickening rod simultaneously, causing an involuntary moan to escape from her lovely lips and giving me the perfect opportunity to slip my tongue into her waiting mouth.

Willow As I sluggishly woke up, I took a moment to take in my surroundings before opening my eyes, noticing the intoxicating scent filling my nostrils with each deep breath I took in. The aroma emanating from him, and the encompassing bedding, immediately clued me in to the fact that I was currently snuggled up against Jax’s strong body. I stretched out my arms and moved to roll over, but I realized two things. One, I had apparently already thrown my leg over him in my sleep at some point during the night, probably my wolf’s doing honestly, but that brought us to number two, I could feel his hard member react to the added pressure of my body rubbing against his as I moved, instantly bringing my wolf panting back to the forefront of my mind. I sat up then, popping my weary eyes open wide and attempted to roll the other way off

Willow Jax did not waste any more time, immediately coaxing me to lie back as his talented mouth continued its downward descent, peppering kisses along my neck and nipping lightly at where the smooth slope met my shoulder, before shifting his attention further south to mount a full assault on my abundant breasts. I was completely lost in the moment, enjoying each caress of his rough hands as they worked their way down the landscape of my body, to the waistband of my sleep shorts, and I could no longer contain the sounds of pleasure that had been threatening to escape from my kiss swollen lips the moment his intoxicating tongue had invaded my mouth earlier. Thank Luna, no one was around to hear the many whimpers and throaty moans that Jax elicited so easily from me. I reached out with my hands, frantic to make contact wi

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
