I stood locked in place like a lovestruck fool for a few moments while I waged a war with my wolf. He wanted to barge into the bathroom and finish what Willow had unintentionally started. I mean, I wanted that too, but I knew that would not be the right thing to do.
Instead, I took a few moments to rein in the desire for now, and then I checked in with Ronnie through our mind link to make sure everything was set for the move later today while I waited on Willow.
I could hear her moving around in the bathroom while I paced the small room. I could not deny the satisfaction I had felt seeing her wearing my shirt when she had first emerged from the bathroom last night, but I was troubled over her lack of personal belongings. There was a reason Ronnie was giving Willow clothes, despite their differences in size and the fact that Willow was supposed to live in

Willow I was in a bit of a daze when Jax finally pulled away from the mind-blowing kiss. It had only lasted a few short moments. At least, I think it had, but the whole experience was kind of surreal. One second, I was freaking the fuck out, and the next, Jax’s incredible lips were on mine, making me instantly melt without a second thought. Any panic I had felt at the thought of leaving the room had fled the moment his lips had touched mine. I felt heat roll through my body as I strained to get closer to him, my wolf wanting nothing more than for me to turn more fully around and straddle him while he pillaged my inexperienced mouth. I nearly died when Jax had reached up and tugged my head back to angle my lips, and then he had playfully bit my lower lip, the surprise causing me to open my mouth for his ravenous tongue. I lost

Jax I felt a mixture of emotions as Willow moved to get out of my lap, especially after the words I had just spoken. However, before I could panic too much, Willow turned and met my eyes with a mischievous expression on her face, and then she had spoken those words that had driven my wolf insane. He was clawing at my skin to get out as she stepped away. I was dying to see what her wolf looked like, but I was seriously in awe of her bravery. The clear taunt in her eyes was also driving me up the wall, despite her attempt to bring levity to the situation. I did another sweep of our surroundings with my superior senses, ensuring that we remained alone while my mate was vulnerable. Then, I glanced over to where Willow had just been standing. She was still standing there, looking as g

Willow I watched as Jax got up and looked around the surrounding area. I was a bit confused as to what he was doing, but my wolf spoke up in my head saying He is making sure we are safe, dummy. I was surprised to realize that she was right, though the insult was unnecessary. I knew she was just anxious, but still. I noticed the pinched look on Jax’s face as he strained his senses. I allowed my hearing to branch out as well, but I was disappointed when I realized that my senses were still blunted by the remnants of the wolfsbane in my system. Well, thank Luna for Jax being here. I did not want another run in with Zeke, or anyone else for that matter, anytime soon. I turned my attention to the matter at hand, knowing Jax would be by my side as soon as he was sure it was saf

Jax 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

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

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
