JASON’S P.O.V.
“Jay” I heard a sweet voice say and a hand touch my arm. I looked down and saw Willow. Standing there looking perfect as always.
“Willow please leave.” I answered angrily. Which made her jump back and I noticed I had raised my voice a bit.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you” I said quickly lowering my voice
“There’s the husky voice I know” Willow said smiling
“Jay, let go of your dad and you and I can go talk. Alone” Willow said with a reassuring voice and a reassuring squeeze on my arm. Her hand barley wrapped around it. It's cute how small she is. I felt myself slowly start to slip out of the anger.
“Yeah, fall for the w***e again” My father said which immediately made me tighten my grip
“Willow is anything but--” I started and was cut off.
“I am the w***e? Yet aren’t you f*****g your sons' mate? And where does Lizzy stand in all of this? Oh yeah, same place she has been for years, even before I went missing. On the f*****g side lines because you're too busy f*****g other girls to realize the absolute gem that’s right Infront of you. You know how f*****g infuriating it is to see a mated grown man with women who isn’t there mate? Literally f*****g in the middle of the woods and have to drag your best friend, their f*****g son away from it? Only to have to tell the one person you never want to tell because you think it’ll break her? But oh, wait it doesn’t because you’ve been doing it for years and she was just so used to you doing it that it didn’t even hurt anymore? And every time you see it after that you have to pretend you didn’t? Oh, and how about that time you literally saw me while f*****g some chick and kept direct eye contact with me? You are such a piece of f*****g s**t. I should have told Aunt Lizzy to leave when I overheard her talking to my mom about it. No wonder she doesn’t want to be with you. You are a sorry excuse for a man let alone a wolf.” Willow spatted spitting on his feet when she was done. This made my dad really mad and before I knew it, he had gotten out of my grip and had Willow by the throat.
“Get the f**k off of her.” Luka yelled
“She deserves to die” Mike replied with a smirk
“Then do it.” Willow answered
“Where's the struggle? The fight?” Mike asked with a smirk
“Don’t have a lot to say anymore?” Mike asked again with a pouting face
“I have plenty to say, and I'll gladly say it, after I turn 18. You are no better than Kris. Honestly and truly. You were made for each other” Willow spat
“Kris was a piece of s**t but since you miss him so much why don’t you go and say hello” Mike spat tightening his grip but willow didn’t flinch or move or even struggle to breathe
“You call this pain?” Willow laughed
“Keep getting tighter, this was just playtime for me” Willow smirked
“There is something seriously wrong with you” Mike said dropping her to her knees.
“No there is something wrong with you. Laying your hands on a woman, putting your mate in so much pain. And her still staying with such a piece of shit.” Willow laughed from the floor. My eyes were still black but now so were Luka’s we watched as Willow handled the situation and knew if it got too bad to jump in. Lena told us to let Willow handle her own. That we would know when it was time.
“You are the piece of s**t” Mike spat
“Oh yeah? At least I've never tried to f**k my underage granddaughter, are you actually mad because Jason slept with me? Or is it because you tried and tried to force me might I add and I bit you?” Willow laughed standing to her feet.
“How’d that heal by the way?” Willow said smirking
“Why you little b***h” Mike said trying to grab Willow again but was met with a punch in the face instead. This shocked all of us. Even Alpha Ron.
“Try me b***h” Willow spit in his face and stepped over him. Coming to me first
“Jason I’m okay, I know this situation is f****d up and a lot of stuff came out that I didn’t want you to know about but I need you to calm down and come with me. Please, I need you” Willow said in a sweet and soft voice placing her hands on my hips. Those 3 words. ‘I need you’ were all it took to snap me back to reality.
“There you are” Willow said smiling and walking over to Luka
“Luka I’m fine. I am safe. I am not hurt and there is nothing wrong with me. I am right here in front of you safe and sound.” Willow said to him wrapping her arms around him and holding him tight
“I know you are Flower.” Luka said his eyes still black
“Luka, please. Come back to me” Willow said with a crackle in her voice
“I’m right here, and I’m not going anywhere” Luka said wrapping his arms around her and kissing the top of her head.
“There you are love” Willow said looking up at him with a smile
“Get Jason out of here, we can talk in a bit, okay? I’ll text you when it's safe to come back”
“Okay love” Willow said releasing him and walking over to me.
“Come on” Willow said opening her hand for me to take it.
“It’s okay” I heard Luka say as if he saw me contemplating it
“You sure?” I asked confused
“I’m sure” Luka said reassuringly, I took Willows hand and she led me out of the room. Out of the hospital. Across the parking lot into the woods.
“Where are we going?” I asked curiously
“To my favorite place on the pack grounds” She said smiling back at me.
If I was being honest, it didn’t matter where this woman went. I would follow her anywhere. I know I didn’t leave my pack to save her but in the same respect I had no idea where she was. I helped look for her when I could and when Alex and James needed more people, I was always right there to help in any way I could. I had dropped many people for even insinuating Willow was taken because of how she was dressed or that she ran away and just didn’t want to come home. There was a lot of stuff that had happened and as confusing as it was for me to see her again after all of these years only to find out she was mated to Luka. I realized I would never get another chance with her. Unless she didn’t know Luka was her mate. Soon we came upon a beautiful Lake with tree stomps all around it. And what looked to be a handmade tree bench.
“What is this?” I asked confused
“You don’t remember do you?” Willow asked with a pouty face
“No” I said concerned
“I have never been here before” I continued.
“Well, that’s where you are wrong” Willow left out a small chuckle and drug me over to the handmade bench
“There” Willow said running her hand over something carved in it.
“W.H + J.R” I mumbled to myself
“When did we do this?” I asked looking back at Willow
“The last time I was up here.” Willow said lowly
“I don’t remember this” I said looking over at her.
“I figured you wouldn’t” Willow said letting out a small chuckle.
“Explain it to me?” I asked softly
“Well, we couldn’t do the dirty at your house, or the room I was staying in. So, we ended up getting a picnic and walking the whole way out here instead. You and Luka when y’all were friends carved this together. You told me the whole story about it. I remember it all like it was yesterday. It was a memory I played over and over in my head just to get out of the depression I was in. Or I'd think about you while Kris and Cece did what they did. That one time with you was better than however many times with Kris and Cece. I thought about that one time a lot. Anyways, you brought me up here and explained what had happened when you and Luka carved this. How you didn’t want to tell Luka what it was for and ended up telling him anyways. How you told him you were a virgin and he laughed at you. How you told him you were nervous so he gave you tips and tricks to try. You laid a blanket and pillow down on the wood and grabbed another blanket to cover up with. We laid there for a while. Both unable to make the first move. Finally, I kissed you, and that’s how it started” Willow said as all of the memories of that night and carving the Bench came flooding back
---- BEGIN FLASHBACK---
“Seriously dude? You asked me to help but aren’t going to tell me why you need this or why it's such a secret?” Luka asked as we walked up the mountain further into the woods.
“Fine!” I yelled frustrated stopping in my tracks.
“It’s for a girl!” I scolded
“Oh, now it makes sense.” Luka said laughing and walking forwards
“What's that supposed to mean?” I asked quickly
“Guys do dumb things for girls they like” Luka laughed
“I thought it was kind of sweet, romantic even?” I asked quickly
“I mean it is, but do you see yourself with this girl in the next 5 years? Or even when you turn 18, do you really think she will be your mate?” Luka asked curious
“I hope so. This girl isn't like any other Luka, she’s sweet and kind, she always gives everything her all. She’s shy but outgoing. She speaks up for stuff she believes in. She stands her ground even when someone tries to knock her down. She is strong and independent. She’s also so beautiful every time I even look at her my heart stops and it's like I can’t breathe.” I confessed.
“Man, you got it bad; huh?” Luka said letting out a small chuckle.
“I do” I said confidently
“Do I know this girl?” Luka asked curious again
“Yeah, actually you do” I said quickly
“Is it Willow?” Luka asked rolling his eyes
“Yeah” I responded quickly
“She’s not even that good looking, and she barley talks” Luka said rolling his eyes
“No, she barley talks around you because you’re a d**k to her” I said with a small laugh
“I’d like to give my d**k to her” Luka mumbled
“What was that?” I asked quickly
“Huh? Nothing don’t worry about it” Luka responded
“So are you finally going to seal the deal or just sit around?” Luka asked curious
“Can I be 100% completely honest with you?” I asked him
“Yeah?” Luka said skeptical
“No judgement?” I pleaded
“No judgement” Luka assured
“I’m still a virgin” I quickly said and was met with a roaring laugh that lasted for about 5 minutes. I sat there on a tree stump while Luka rolled around the ground like a dog laughing
“You done yet?” I asked rolling my eyes
“Wait, so you mean everything that has been said was all a lie?” Luka asked still laughing
“Well, I didn’t make any of it up. It’s my understanding that it was Alyssa and Megan that started it and then other girls around the pack ended up just joining in so it made them look better to sleep with the Beta’s son” I answered confused
“Okay, so you're still a virgin. Does Willow know you are?” Luka asked curious again
“I think so? I’m honestly not sure” I answered confused
“Okay so what happens if Willow believes the other girls instead of you?” Luka asked me
“I don’t know, plead my case?” I answered
“You want some pointers from someone who isn't a virgin?” Luka said letting out a small laugh
“Please” I said with a pleading voice
“You almost sound... Scared?” Luka chuckled
“I mean kind of.” I responded quickly
“Dude it really isn't scary for guys. It’s worse for girls because it hurts them before it actually starts to feel good for them” Luka said as we picked up a large tree and carried it into a big opening by the lake
“What do you mean it hurts them? Like I know basic female anatomy but I know nothing about s*x” I explained
“Okay so like. How do I even explain this. There is like a little piece of skin that acts as a barrier inside of a woman and when she actually has s*x for the first time it hurts. Because you are popping it. It's called the hymen. Or men call it the cherry. It symbolizes weather or not she is actually a virgin. Which I have no doubt in my mind Willow is. So, the first thrust into her will hurt a lot. But it's better to go faster than to go slow. Once you're in do not move until she tells you to. The more you move at first the more it’ll hurt and she won’t want to continue. If you wait till she gives you the go ahead then it will only hurt a little before it actually feels good for her. But it's better that your both virgins because its more or less like you both are figuring stuff out together. I do recommend watching porn or something before so you last longer and get a general idea of what to do to make her feel good.” Luka explained while we were cutting up the tree.
“That’s confusing. Yet helpful?” I said in a confused voice.
“Listen I'll explain stuff the best I can but I'm only a few months older than you and have obviously had more s*x, with more people. Step up your game a bit dude” Luka said jokingly punching my arm
“I really don’t want to have s*x with anyone but Willow. Other girls have tried. A couple of them even snuck in my room and got naked. Waited for me to come home from training and then tried but I always threw them out.” I responded and Luka looked at me shocked
“Well. If you guys do. I really don’t want to hear about it okay?” Luka said quickly focusing on the tree.
“Oh, okay dude. Everything okay?” I asked trying to get his attention.
“Yeah, everything is fine” Luka said still working on the tree
A few short hours later we headed back to shower and what not before Willow got there. Luka wanted to see her before I swept her away. I ran a bag up to the bench/bed Luka and I made that had everything we would need. Condoms just in case. Clean up things such as wipes and stuff like that. Extra clothes for me and for her if she wanted to just wear mine. Pillow, blanket. Stuff and such as that. As I was headed back, I got a text from Willow saying she was about 5 minutes out. I quickly got back and asked the kitchen staff to make a picnic basket and without hesitation they did.
