Here are a few updates on our trio. Hope you enjoy them.
This book contains some content that could be trauma triggers for some people. I have also used a free translation app for some of the content. I’m saying sorry now if it did not get translated correctly. Heather POV “Hey Heather the Alpha would like you to meet him in his office when you’re done here.” “OK. Thanks Beta Ralph.” I answered. I turned back to help finish cleaning up after our end of the year school party that we had the night before. We had just graduated from grade eight. It was a good ceremony. My Grandmother was able to make the trip down, which was nice. The only thing that would have made it better for me was if my parents had been able to be there. They had been killed in a car accident back in January driving home from a nearby town in a surprise ice storm. My father was the Beta of the Blue Ridge Pack, which is the pack I was born into. Beta Ralph had stepped into the roll after my father’s death. My mom and dad had met while my mother was attending a college
Heather POV “I can’t believe that you’re leaving tomorrow” Dawn said. I sat down on the ground next to her and put my arm around her shoulders. “Hey, once everything is packed in the car and ready to go, what do you say about heading out to the lake for a few hours? Then we’ll come back, order pizza, watch some movies...” “So this is where you two have been hiding. I’ve been busting my ass loading your...” He points at me. “...stuff into the SUV so we don’t have to do it in the morning. Dawn and I saw Jacob, Dawn’s older brother, coming across the lawn. Jacob had just turned 17, making him three years older than Dawn and I. Jacob stood 6’3”, with black wavy hair that was a little on the long side and beautiful hazel eyes, he was 200 pounds of muscle and still hadn’t finished growing. For the last year or so, I had been developing a bit of a crush on him. It had gotten a bit stronger in the last little while. He’d been very supportive after my parents had died. I think that is when
Jacob POV “Looks good to me guys. It’s only 3:00 now, so I think we’ll wait an hour or so to light it. What do you guys think? Guys?” I turned to see which girl had gotten their attention this time. “Are you sure that’s her? It can’t be.” “I’m telling you Ben, that’s Heather. Who else hangs out with Dawn?” I looked down the beach to where Ben and Zane were staring, just as Heather was lifting her shirt up over her head to reveal all the gorgeous curves she had been hiding from everyone. Up until now, I had been the only guy to have the privilege of seeing them. I have caught glimpses of her a few times over the past little while that she has been living with us, in some of her more revealing sets of PJs. The first time had been when I had found her sitting in the dark in the living room, crying. It was about a week after her parents had died. She was wearing a form-fitting tank top and a pair of boy short-style bottoms. I sat on the couch, pulled her into my lap and just held her w
Heather POV After putting my t-shirt back on, I sat down on my towel and looked at Dawn. “Well, we’ve been here a whole thirty minutes or so, and I have had three new experiences. What’s next?” “Three?” “Yeah three, one, your brother using his Alpha tone. Which, by the way, was a little scary and, don’t hate me for saying this, also a little sexy. Two, Alexa yelling at me, and for the first time making me feel embarrassed to be half human.” “What was the third?” “That thing... with Jacob... I don’t... “I sat there waving my hands around trying to find the right words to explain what I thought I felt, when Dawn leaned over and whispered “You mean Jacob running off into the water sporting a boner he got from standing behind you.” I pulled my knees up to my chest and hid my face as I felt the blush start to creep up my neck, into my cheeks. “Please that is never to be mentioned ever again. Are you listening to me, Dawn?” “Do you really think I want to talk about my brother’s boners
Heather POV As Jacob started to pace, I thought it would be a good idea to head back over to Dawn and go for a swim since that was what we came here for in the first place. I had taken two steps away from the tree when I heard Jacob say, “Stop right there. Don’t move. We are not done. We have one more thing to talk about.” I stepped a little farther away from the tree so that at least he wouldn’t be able to cage me in against it again. He approached and stopped about a foot away in front of me. Even with him standing at that distance, I still had to tilt my head back to look into his eyes because of our height difference. “No, I think we’re good,” I replied. “You never told me why your cheeks were red.” “Sun burn. I forgot to put sunscreen on them.” “Is that so, then why are they getting redder by the minute while we are standing in the shade?” “Holes in the ozone layer. It has been causing lots of problems.” “Heather are you trying to be a smart ass?” “No. All my brains are in
Heather POV My thoughts were running a mile a minute through my brain. What the hell had just happened? What the hell did I just agree to? Did I just have a mini make-out session with Jacob, my best friend’s brother, with my back against a tree and my legs wrapped around his waist? This is not good. How am I going to look at Dawn? When I got back to my towel, both Zane and Ben gave me questioning looks and walked away. I sat down and put my head back on my knees trying to hide from Dawn. “Did you enjoy yourself? How many other times have you made out with my brother?” Keeping my head down, I answered “That was the first time. The only other thing I can say is WOW.” I hear chuckling coming from beside me, to pick my head up in time to see Dawn break out into a full fledge belly laugh complete with rolling around on the ground. “Will you stop that? People are staring at us.” “Girl, they were already staring after Jacob picked you up and hightailed into the woods with you.” “I jus
Zane POV I followed Dawn out of Jacob’s room and down the hall. I thought that she was going to stop at her room, but she headed down the stairs. She walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge and pulled out a bottle of water. “Want one?” she asked, holding up the water. “No, I’m good thanks.” Leaning on the door frame, I watched Dawn walk towards the back. She stopped and looked over her shoulder. “I’m going to go sit outside for a bit. Are you coming or heading home?” “I’ll sit for a bit.” I followed her outside. I lowered myself onto one of the lounge chairs next to the one Dawn had sat in. “Well I must say that was an interesting day. What’s your take on it?” I asked her. “I really don’t know. I think I’m still processing it all. Did Jacob ever tell you guys what he said to her?” “You mean they talked. I didn’t think he had time to do that, you know, with his tongue stuck down her throat.” “Yes they talked you ass.” Dawn said as she smacked me on the shoulder. “He told her t
The next morning Heather POV “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s get this show on the road.” I let out a long groan that sent pain shooting through my brain and buried my head under my pillow as Dawn barged into my room screaming about road shows and opening the curtains. If I had the energy, I’d throw the extra pillow at her. “Go away” is all I can manage to get out before the blankets are pulled off me and someone is forcing me to sit up. “Come on let’s get into the shower. That should help a little, maybe.” The next thing I know, I’m hit with a blast of cold water, my eyes spring open and Dawn is walking out the door telling me I have fifteen minutes to shower, get dressed and get down to breakfast or she’s coming back and I won’t like the consequences. I realize that I’m still in my bathing suit and t-shirt from yesterday, I strip them off and leave them on the bottom of the shower while I finish washing. I step out of the shower, dry off, and head back to my room to get dress
