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
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
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
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
Brett POV“Why, why must you lads test my patience! You know the McCoy pack grounds are off limits and you testing their boundary control does not help with our ongoing relations issues.” Alpha Nicholas pleads with us.“We were just testing our scouting skills.” Jeremy explains giving me a side wink.“Plus, Ash was a prick at school today, we wanted to teach him a lesson.”“Oh yes, breaking on to pack territory and what…throwing eggs like it’s bloody Halloween would have been a fucking good idea?” Nicholas says raising his voice to us.“At least they would have had breakfast sorted.” Jeremy whispers to me. Both of us muffling our laughter.A loud bang jumps us back to Nicholas’ line of vision. He had smacked his hand on the hard wooden desk and half stood up to unleash his Alpha aura.“Enough! No more. Boys you are meant to be young men setting a good example to the pack youth. Brett, your Father will also hear about this and no doubt feel the same exasperation as me.I want you both t
Brett POVJeremy and I are sitting on the sofa watching the first half of the live football match. “Pass me another beer bro? Cheers!” Jeremy asks. I throw a beer bottle gently in his direction, when we hear hushed laughter coming from the hallway. Jeremy jumps up and walks towards the front door.“And where are you ladies off to?” He asks.“Shit!” Samantha mutters under her breath. I smirk as I walk towards the front door to give my best friend some support.“We are just heading out to a friend’s house party.” Lizzie mentions as she crouches down to adjust her shoe ankle strap. I don’t miss the long gaze Jeremy gives Lizzie’s legs.Willow starts to walk down the stairs wearing a black mini dress, red high heels, red dangly earrings and a denim jacket.Her long light brown hair curled and free flowing. She was always a natural beauty and it pained me to see her dressed in such a sexy way. I had known Willow since I met Jeremy at secondary school. She was always a bit of a book worm, b
Willow’s POVWe walk towards Jeremy’s car which was a black Mercedes.“How were you going to get there anyway?” Jeremy asks bewildered that we could walk in such high heels.“We were going to sneak out of the pack grounds and call a taxi.” Lizzie spills.“For fuck’s sake Lizzie, why not just tell them we were going to stay over too.” Samantha says shocked at her friend’s honesty.“Sorry, I can’t seem to lie to Jeremy!” Lizzie oddly admits.I smile as I grab the driver’s side back door. I’ve had a feeling for a while that Jeremy and Lizzie had a connection. Perhaps time will tell.“That’s not a bad thing.” Jeremy grabs Lizzie’s hand and gives it a gentle kiss. Lizzie blushes under Jeremy’s intense stare.Samantha and Lizzie both climb in the car ahead of me.“There are wet clothes on the middle seat!” Samantha states.“Shit, I forgot I put them there after training at Brett’s pack.” Jeremy says collecting the clothes and putting them in the boot.“The seat is damp. We will ruin our outf
Jeremy POV“Hurry up Louis, I need a shower!” I bang on the bathroom door. Louis and I share the top floor of the Alpha mansion with a separate room each but share a bathroom.“Just use Willow’s bathroom, she’s not back from training yet.” Louis huffs in response.I walk down to the middle floor where there are four bedrooms. Willow’s, our parent’s room and 2 spare rooms for visitors. One of which is constantly used by Brett, we are his second home. Willow has a bathroom next to her room, whereas the 3 other bedrooms on this floor have an ensuite each.I walk into the bathroom and start to run the shower. I open the bathroom window to stop the hot water steaming up the windows and mirror. I can see Willow walking back to the house with one of the young warriors, Jason, and our beta Thomas. Thomas is in his mid 20’s and took on the role last year after his father passed. He never got over losing Thomas’ mother, they were fated mates, and his father was never the same afterwards. A great
