Ronan holds my door open and patiently waits for me to climb down out of the SUV. When he closes the door behind me, I start, “If this about me pledging my loyalty to you and the pack I-,” he cut me off.
“I know that we got off on the wrong foot and that right now you are not sure about me. It was selfish of me to demand loyalty from someone who has never met me before today and I know you don’t want it to be true, but you are my mate, Willow. That fact alone means that what is mine is yours, including the protection and loyalty of my pack. So, with that said I am not requiring your pledge for you to enter. I would much rather have you get to know me and trust me before pledging your loyalty. Otherwise, I am no better than the alpha before me.”
I think for the first time in my life I am speechless. This was a deal breaker for him earlier and now all of a sudden, it’s not. I look at him suspicio

Ronan’s POVAfter showing Willow to her room, I walk Pete to his. I decide to make the most of the short trip by picking Pete’s brain on how to get her to let me in, but I don’t know where to begin. Pete stops mid-stride and looks back at me.“I may have been gone for ten years Ronan, but I know you enough to know when something is on your mind. What is it?”Pete has always been a friend to me, even though he left the pack and didn’t come back until now. I am happy to have him back. He isn’t the same gullible teen that he was when he left, I’ll give him that. He saw right through me.“It’s Willow. Ghost is going crazy wanting me to mark her. I feel the pull to her as I should, but is it possible that she doesn’t feel it? Or that she doesn’t know that I am her mate?”“I think she knows it, but she just isn’t ready to have a mate yet.”I sigh, &ldqu

Willow’s POVI started when I awoke to the sound of people laughing downstairs, taking a minute to recognize my surroundings. I can’t believe I fell asleep so early. Usually, I am up all hours of the night. I stretch my arms up over my head and yawn, my body contracting to lengthen my stretch. I wish I could just stay in my room and ignore the world. It would be easier than having Alpha Ronan constantly pointing out that he is my mate. I know he is my mate. I’m not stupid. Both Harmony and I feel the pull, but I’m not ready for a mate yet. I still haven’t found anything out about my family yet and I cannot afford to get distracted. Now there is also the concern of dragging anyone else into this. Looking for my family almost got me killed and I won’t risk the lives of anyone else. Especially not the one who is supposed to be my mate.I don’t want to reject him either. I want to accept him but not until all this is over with. Cal

Ronan’s POVThe seductively inviting taste of warm vanilla and citrus lingers on my lips where she kissed me, making my jeans a little too tight in the groin area. The one good thing to come from this sweet torture is that I know her wolf wants me just as much as Ghost and I want her and Harmony. The only thing standing in our way is Willow herself. I listened intently when she told Ghost why she wanted to wait to let us mark her. Foolish woman. Sure, losing someone after being mated hurts like hell, but doesn’t she see that we stand a better chance against these vampires if we are mated? Everything is enhanced. Our strength, bond, and pack all become stronger when Alpha and Luna are bonded. I just have to convince her of that somehow. Her reasons are selfless to an extent, but at the same time it could be considered selfish to allow me and my pack to potentially go to war while leaving them weaker than they have to be.Hopefully, she doesn&rs

Willows POVI shift my weight from one foot to the other as I wait for this awkward introduction to be over. I understand the politics behind Ronan announcing me to the pack as their Luna, but I hate being the center of attention. I would rather bury my head in the grass and wait for it to be over.“You may rise,” Ronan announces to the pack who was still obediently bowing their heads as a show of respect to their leader, “Pair up and start your warmups.”Not paying too much attention to what the rest were doing, I began to stretch my limbs on my own, bringing my left arm across my chest while pulling it closer to me with the right. Then I switch sides and do the same with my right.I look up and catch Ronan watching me, amused. I ignore him and begin stretching my legs, one after the other before sliding down into a scissor split, holding it for a few seconds before standing up and repeating the same with the other l

Chapter TwelveRonan’s POVI am breaking through that rough exterior of hers quicker than I thought I would. Having the mate bond is helping me too. She finds herself attracted to me and the pull from the bond is making it to where she can’t help herself. I am still going to tread lightly though. I want her to want me because she wants me, not because the Moon Goddess decided that she will. I like that she is feisty and determined. She will make an excellent Luna when she is fully ready to accept that responsibility.We already came up with new ideas for pack training that were inspired by her, and she is willingly helping me solve these murders that keep popping up. I don’t know how she can do her job. She sees dead bodies on a regular basis in her line of work. I haven’t seen a single dead body before these two popped up since I killed my uncle and even then, it was done by potion.I grab my clothes an

Willow’s POVI am not a fan of morgues. Usually when I see dead bodies it is at the crime scene, not in a morgue. Something about the atmosphere is off-putting, making the hairs on my arms stand on end. It’s feels as if my blood has been replaced with static electricity and it leaves a buzzing sensation underneath my skin. The last time we were here I chalked it up to nerves because of everything that had happened to bring me here, but now it is just making me uneasy.I’m following Ronan down the hall, staying as close to him as possible. The unease fades the closer I am to him. I reach out instinctively to grab his hand and he suddenly stops to stare at me.“Hey Doc, can you take Xander ahead. We’ll be right behind you. I need to speak with Willow,” Ronan asks Doc with a seriousness to his tone that added to my tension.Doc gives Ronan a brief nod and signals Xander to follow him. Ronan pulls me into an o

Ronan’s POV“Call Doc and put him on Bluetooth, now!” I bark at Xander, who is trying to get us home as fast as he can.He just sped past a car, cutting it off, causing the other driver to spin out of control. Xander glanced back as if he was unsure if he should stop to make sure the other people were okay. I shot him a glare that told him about my opinion on the matter. Call me crazy, call me selfish, I don’t care. All I care about is making sure that the woman currently writhing in my lap is okay. I just found her and even though she isn’t interested in having a mate, she was starting to come around and I will be damned if I am going to lose her now because of some traffic jam.Xander weaves in and out of the cars traveling in the same direction, and I hear him talk to his phone, “Call Doc.”The phone connects and I hear the phone ringing through the radio before Doc’s shaky voice comes over

Chapter FifteenWillow’s POVI am greeted by the sound of soft snoring when I open my eyes. I look around the unfamiliar room, wondering where I am. It smells like the pack house and Ronan’s scent is everywhere, even all over me I notice as I bring my arms up over my head to stretch.My whole body hurts as if I had run a twenty-mile marathon. A loud snort draws my attention to the other side of the room where I see Ronan asleep at his desk with his head resting on the keyboard of his laptop.This must be his room but how did I get here? I gently toss the blankets off me. Who undressed me? I was completely nude except for a big black t-shirt that smelled strongly of Ronan. I panic and reach up to touch both sides of my neck, feeling for a mate mark. Shoo, he didn’t mark me. Ronan promised he wouldn’t do anything without my consent, but I don’t trust Ghost fully.I climb down fr

Willow's POVI'm just so unbelievably hot right now. I have never felt such need and desire. I want to rip his clothes off and ride his rock hard dick right here in the kitchen. The thought of it alone is making me wet. I can feel him trying to reign it in, to control himself, but I want him to lose control with me. I want to feel him on every inch of my skin and more so inside of me. My core is slick and painfully throbbing with my need for him.I break my kiss and leave a trail of them down his neck where I lick and tease the mark he now wore showing that he is mine."I want you," I whisper in his ear before I draw his bottom lobe in my mouth, pulling a low and seductive growl from his throat.His hand grip my ass harder and he rubs my pussy against the rough material of his jeans so I could feel how hard he is for me. I reach my hands between our bodies and begin to unfasten the button of his jeans.His hand stops mine for a second, "Someone could walk in."I shrug, "Let them."I
Secrets of Willow Chapter Thirty-Two
Ronan's POV"Nephew? My how you have grown into quite the man. Let me look at you," Aunt Kat gushes over me.We have been trying for so long to get her back to herself and now that she is, I almost dont believe it and to think Willow has been the key to getting her back this whole time. Seriously is there anything that she can't do? All of this solidifies my belief that even if she wasn't mated to me, she was still made just for me.I open my arms and allow my aunt to walk into them to embrace me. Tears are threatening to take over as I release her and take a second to admire her and relish in the fact that she is here and coherant. The guilt of what happened to her has eaten away at me for so long and then it got worse when I found that her wolf actually died and that's why she went all bat shit crazy. Honestly, I still feel guilty a little. If it wasn't for her helping me in the first place, none of this would have happened.Willow grasps my hand and gives it a gentle squeeze. I kno
Secrets of Willow Chapter Thirty-One
Willow's POV "Wait. I'm going to need you to explain? How does Willow bringing her wolf back, that's assuming you're correct, how does that break the spell?" Pete asked defensively. Barely acknowledging that it was Pete who spoke to her, Olivia addresses me, "The one thing that ends a spell without fail is death. The potion that she absorbed was designed to subdue her wolf. It appears that captivity has killed her wolf, which explains why your powers surfaced with our arrival. If you are able to bring her wolf back the spell will be broken because she died." "But who's to say that bringing her wolf back doesn't reinstate the spell?" I ask nervously. "Spells are not living beings that pass on, therefore they cannot be reanimated," she stated with confidence. This is a whole lot of new information to take in. Ronan has been living with the guilt of what happened to Katarina since he was sixteen years old. If I am able to take that burden off his shoulders, why wouldn't I give it a t
Secrets of Willow Chapter Thirty
Ronan's POV"And when he does, I will be there with my eyes on you. We are not letting you get yourself killed. We will figure out a way to save Jessica. If it's not too late that is."I feel a special kindred toward Pete now, even more so than I did growing up. Before he was just the annoying friend that followed me everywhere and now that I know he isn't trying to put the moves on my mate, my fondness of him is growing. He loves Willow just as much as I do, just in a different way and I know that he would lay down his life for her. I wish I could say the same for Xander.When she first got here, Xander was all team Willow. Now his grief has him placing blame on her when it is not her burden to carry. He has lashed out on her so many times that I am not sure if their relationship will be salvageable when we get through this."We should probably head down now. Olivia should be here any minute now," I suggest to Willow.Pete looks to me, "Do you mind if I sit in on the meeting?"Willow
Secrets of Willow Chapter Twenty-Nine
Willow's POV To save time Ronan and I cleaned up together. Olivia is due to arrive any minute now with Katarina and I want to make sure I stop in to see Pete before we meet with her. I tie the laces of my favorite combat boots and look over at Ronan as he finishes struggling with his last boot. "I will meet you downstairs. I want to check on Pete before I head down," I inform Ronan. I grabs my hand and kisses my palm, "Do you mind if I join you? I'd like to see him too and fill him in so he's not in the dark?" I shrug my shoulders to let him know that it didn't bother me. I would prefer it anyway just to make sure Ghost didn't get the wrong impression. I use the hand he is already holding and pull him up so he can follow me to Pete's room. "I wonder how he is doing. I haven't been able to really check on him since the incident at Doc's. He should be mostly healed by now right?" I ask Ronan. "It's hard to say really. The last I checked the external wounds had healed and scarred o
Secrets of Willow Chapter Twenty-Eight
Ronan's POVMy blood is boiling and my heart is beating wildly against my chest while Ghost is going ballistic, wanting to unleash is wrath on Xander for hurting our mate. The fact of the matter is that id he were anyone else, he would be in a world of hurt if not dead. It's taking every last ounce of strength in me to keep Ghost in check. Xander better get himself in line a adjust his attitude sooner rather than later because I don't know how much longer I will be able to contain him. He is out for blood."When we get back to the pack house, it would be in your best interest to keep your distance from me and Willow. Ghost is furious at yu right now and the last thing I want to do is hurt you. I can't say the same for Ghost," I warn him.Xander said nothing, he just nodded his head and quietly climbed back into the car with his head down. That was more like it. I sigh in frustration and climb into the drivers seat. I originally had Willow drive because I was too upset and distracted b
Secrets of Willow Chapter Twenty-Seven
Willow’s POV684 Waterman LnTurn the hybrid she-wolf over by 10 pm tomorrow. A wolf will die for each day you refuse, starting with your precious Jessica.I read the note over and over until my vision begins to go dark around the edges. What is so special about me that I should die? Poor Jessica is innocent and has nothing to do with this. She hasn’t even been adopted into the pack yet. It’s not fair that her life is resting in my hands. None of this makes any sense to me. I haven’t done anything other than try to track down my family and I have even given up on that. Once I accepted Ronan as my mate, none of that seemed important anymore but for whatever reason these vampires are determined that I have to die. The only thing I am sure of right now is that I have to turn myself over to them to save Jessica. She should not be forced to die for me when she still has a whole life left to live.I snatch the note from Xander and storm out of the house. If they want me, they better be prep
Secrets of Willow Chapter Twenty-Six
Xander's POV I was expecting the worst when I busted the door down to Jessica's house, but I was not expecting the scene before me. What I could tell had once been a pristine beige sofa was now split into multiple pieces and thrown throughout the living room. Her once solid wood coffee table was now splintered into a thousand shards. My heart starts beating frantically as my ears pick up on pained moans coming from further in the house. I run down the hall toward the noise and enter a small kitchen where a scene from a horror movie greeted me. Our Gamma, Brian and his right hand, Tony were bound to two kitchen chairs with their backs to each other with duct tape. I can't see the extent of Tony's injuries, but I am almost positive they mirror Brian's. Whoever did this cut Brian open from neck to navel and stuffed him full of wolfsbane to prevent him from healing and damn near liquifying every organ it touched. There was no way he would come back from this. If I had come looking for
Secrets of Willow Chapter Twenty-Five
Willow’s POV Knowing that Ronan would be the one driving, I immediately got into the front passenger seat and buckled my seatbelt. Xander climbed into the backseat and Ronan now sits beside me in the driver’s seat. It feels like we can’t enjoy one day of happiness before something happens to ruin it. I sigh inwardly and send a silent prayer to the moon goddess that we find Jessica alive and well. Any other outcome would be unfair. They just found each and unlike Ronan and I they immediately accepted each other, just to be cruelly ripped apart so soon. Ronan’s hand lands on top of mine and he rubs small circles on the knuckle of my thumb. I glanced back at Xander whose eyes were now trained on my hand in Ronan’s. I gently pull my hand from Ronan’s and offer it to Xander. Ronan gives me an appreciative nod and trains his eyes on the road ahead. “We are going to find her, Xander. Try not to let your mind go to the worst,” I try my best to console him. He looks me dead in the eyes, his
