Chapter 16 - Willow

The shop was doing better than I ever could’ve anticipated, and everything seemed to be going well despite that persistent uneasiness we all seemed to feel.

Moving from shelf to shelf while I cleaned the displays and rearranged them to my liking, I mulled over how nice things had been between Rowan and me.

If anyone were to tell me several weeks ago that I’d be able to get over what happened between us in the past, I would’ve said they were out of their mind.

That pain had been so unbearable that it took years for me to repress, but Rowan’s company and affection helped mend that old wound.

It was easy to let him in after I learned about his struggles and realized that he had been conditioned to think a certain way. He had denied me out of fear and shock, and while it could’ve been handled differently, I knew I couldn’t be mad at him forever.

I was relieved by how smoothly things felt since it was a great benefit to both of us.

It was still so hard to believe that our intimacy had been enough to awaken his wolf. To bring it back and take that strain away from him.

I knew that fated mate bonds were called divine and magical for a reason, but I never would’ve thought it could cause such a miracle for him.

The small chime above the door rang as it opened, and River came in wearing an excited smile.

“Welcome!” I said, returning the warm expression.

“It looks great as always in here,” she returned, glancing around. “And the world hasn’t been engulfed in fire or ice, so I’m assuming nothing detrimental has been going on in town.”

I snickered at that and rearranged a shelf of new crystal stock. “So far, so good, as far as I can tell.”

“Which means the harvest festival is coming up soon, and I wanted to know if you’d be interested in helping me set up this year,” she said, handing a flyer rough draft to me.

I took it and read the details, feeling a spark of mutual excitement within me. “Absolutely. The harvest season is my favorite time of year. Count me in.”

I loved it any time events were put on in town, and I knew how much River loved throwing them. It was a match made in heaven.

River brightened even more and handed me a few other papers with more information scrawled on them. “Perfect! This is everything you’ll need to know about it. I’ll swing by soon so we can talk decorations and more logistics.”

While I loved the idea, I couldn’t help but think about the current issues at hand. “Do you think there might be any issues with the townies and bikers? What if this isn’t the best time?”

River waved me off and smiled. “I think it’s the perfect time. We all need something to distract us, and celebrating the year’s bounty should do exactly that.”

She did have a point. After every event, the townspeople usually seemed to have better morale.
