Lucas POV We entered Dad's office and had just sat down when we felt Heather's emotional dam break. If I hadn't already been seated I would have dropped to the ground as the wave of sorrow hit me. Laydon was going nuts. All he wants to do is go to her. It takes most of my strength to keep him under control. He was trying his damsest to push to the front and run to her. I can hear Dad calling Laydon and Rory. He is trying to help us get the control we need. Whatever Dad is saying must be getting through to them. I can feel Laydon backing down. The last thing he says as he sulks off to the back of my mind is, 'Go to mate when Mom says ok.' I want to remind him that we don't know for sure if Heather is our mate yet, but I think that will just set him off again. I lean back against the couch, taking a couple of deep breaths. "You two good for now?" Dad asks as he sits on the coffee table in front of us. Picking my head, I looked at Dad. I could see the worry on his face. "Yeah I think so
Lucas POV“This is supposed to be one of the happiest moments of our lives, and we haven’t been able to tell anyone." Carter says, looking defeated. "We can’t tell Melissa’s parents because her Mom has already been on her case to reject whoever was her mate so she can go through with the deal that was made with Liam's parents. Even with Liam being stripped of his Beta standing, Melissa's mother still wants her to be with Liam. We thought that we would be ok with me being raised from Gamma to Beta, but no. Her mother still doesn't think I'm good enough because I don't have Beta born blood. We found that out when Melissa asked her mother a 'what if' question. She thinks that since Liam still hasn’t marked Sophie she can still push Melissa into the arrangement. Which I don’t understand either. Right from the time that deal was made, Liam did nothing, but complained about not wanting Melissa, then out of the blue he changed his tune. I'm starting to think that it is because he doesn't thi
Heather POVI stood up and started pacing. I felt dirty just thinking about his hands on me. Was there something wrong with me thinking that type of sex was normal, and I wanted to try it, just not with him? My mind is so confused right now. How could I get excited thinking about the twins and trying some of the sexual things that were suggested by my attempted rapist? There really has to be something wrong with me. Mona grabbed my shoulder to stop my pacing. “Heather, Hunny stop. I’ve turned off the recording. Sit and tell me what is going through your head. You need to get your feelings out. Talk about it, so your mind can process.” I sat back down, pulling the throw over me again. Mona sat beside me, putting her arm around me.I told Mona about the uneasy feeling that I had when Keegan had showed up at the school and then again before we even left Grandma’s. “I knew Mona, I knew. That feeling I had I knew something was wrong. I dismissed it thinking that it was just nerves. I leane
Heather POVWe all headed up to the Alpha apartment where I went to the den to call Grandma. I still didn’t tell her what had happened. I told her I was going to be spending some time with Reed and Lucas because I thought it was time we had a good long talk about, well, everything. She thought that was a good idea and that I should take as long as I needed. It wasn’t like I HAD to leave on Monday to go to Blue Ridge. I walked out to the living room to find the three men playing video games. I was having a déjà vu moment. Mona was in the kitchen working on supper. “Is there anything I can help with Mona?”“I don’t think there is much left to do. This is almost ready. You could set the table though?”I set the table then went and stood beside Mona by the stove. “I told Grandma that I was staying here until Reed and Lucas headed back for their exams. I told her that I thought it was time the three of us talked. I hope that’s ok.”“That is perfectly ok. You never have to worry about not b
Reed POV “Are we here or did you two just drive me to the middle of nowhere to abandon me? Or better yet go have wild unprotected sex in the woods.” Heather asks with a smile on her face, I can see in the rearview mirror. "You do realize we might just take you up on that offer someday?" Lucas says. I watch as her cheek and upper chest turn a lovely shade of pink at Lucas' comment. Not wanting to push our luck, I answered her. “We are here. Just give us a couple of minutes to get some things set up, then we will help you out, so NO peeking.” I couldn’t stop the smile that spread across my face when I turned to look at her in the back seat. “Fine.” She answers with a little attitude as she crosses her arms and pouts. “Lucas man, are you seeing what I’m seeing?” He turned to look over the seat. Her crossed arms are causing her boos to be pushed up so far that her nipples are just under the neck line of her shirt. I think her breasts are even bigger now than before. Her pouty lips a
Heather POV I walked over and picked up my bag from the couch. “Which room is mine? I want to go change into some comfy clothes.” Reed and Lucas looked at each other before walking towards me. They trapped me between them with the couch and coffee table in front and behind. “You asked earlier who owned this place, and we never answered.” Lucas started. “It belongs to us. Now don’t freak, but we designed the place with you in mind." I looked between the two of them in confusion, waiting for them to continue. "We were hoping that if we were lucky enough to win back your friendship you would want to spend time here. The other thought was that if we were blessed with you being our mate, and you didn’t reject us, that we could have this place as a getaway for the three of us.” Reed said nervously. “So, with that being said, that room... He pointed to the door by the stairs. “...is for you. We are hoping and praying that someday you will allow us to sleep in there with you, but we are f
Reed POVAs I made my way around the couch, she pulled her feet off of the ottoman, leaned forward and placed the popcorn bowl down on the ottoman. She then leaned back and was now sitting with her legs crossed at the knees swinging her foot. Her arms are folded across her chest, pushing her wonderfully rounded tits up. That bounce is going to be the end of me. I slowly sat down, trying not to touch her. Even though Rory is in my head screaming at me to. Looking over to where Lucas is on her other side, I’m glad to see that I’m not alone in my struggle. His eyes are flicking back and forth between his and Laydon's “And start.” Heather says as I hear the start, up noise, music, whatever you want to call it to whichever streaming service she is using. I didn’t even see what movie she picked. As the opening credits start to play, I focus on relaxing. I don’t recognize the movie, but it seems to be something along the line of an action/thriller type of thing. It’s not half bad, and it keep
Heather POV Sighing heavily, I slumped down on the couch. ‘I’m sorry sweetie.’ I heard whispered from my wolf. ‘I got so excited when I first showed up when you were in the truck with them and their scents were so alluring. I forgot to look into all your memories before getting all hot and bothered. I didn't even tell you my name. That's how distracted I was. I'm Indigo, by the way.’ ‘It’s ok. It is nice to meet you Indigo.' I, smiled at her. 'But it is not all your fault. I wasn’t exactly putting up much of a fight with your influence.’ I said, trying to console her. ‘Seriously, though you won’t be disappointed in me if I don’t wait for my mate and have sex with them?’ I asked her. ‘From the memories that I’ve seen, you have a very deep connection to the two of them and if they hadn’t screwed up the way they did you probably would have already, so no. I know this is going to sound weird, but I want your first time to be with someone or somebodies that you care for and not because
Heather POV The next day, Dr. Beal called me with the results of my visit. It looks like I’m going to be a Mom. I was nervous all last night and this morning. I was able to hold off the morning sickness until after Reed and Lucas left the room. I know they could pick up on my nervousness, so I’m not going to be able to keep it from them for too long. That is why I’m now pacing in front of the fireplace waiting for them to come back for the evening. I know a lot of people nowadays are doing cute little things to tell their partners that they’re pregnant, so I’ve been trying to think of a way to do it without having to do massive planning. I’m so lost in my thoughts that I jump when the door flies open and Reed and Lucas storm in. Reed walks right up to me, grabs my shoulders and spins me to face him. “Heather, what is going on? Your agitation has been driving the two of us crazy. Tell us what is going on.” Taking a deep breath, I stared at these two large gorgeous men. “OK, sit down.
Heather POV It has been a month since Reed, Lucas and I marked each other. The guys have graduated, and we have moved back to Twin Moon. The original plan was for the three of us to start learning the day-to-day operations of running the pack. Fine-tuning our knowledge, you could call it. Unfortunately, with Meg and April still missing, that has been put on hold. We are still waiting to hear from everyone overseas if there is any word about Meg. The visions have been happening more often but are not giving us any more information. April has been keeping in touch, but still won't come home or tell us what she is doing or who she is with. Reed and Lucas are planning on joining Mac and Quinn next week in the search. We need to get the two girls home. We have started doing some remodelling on a couple of the rooms on the second floor of the residential building. We are designing them into a small apartment for Mona and Shane. Mona insists that the three of us move into the Alpha apartme
Heather POV I looked down at my hands where they were resting on the guys’ hands. I moved my gaze up my arm and looked at both Reed and Lucas’ marks on their necks. It all seemed to be glowing. “That has got to be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen,” Rene says. “I think there is much for you and your mates to learn about... this,” Grandma says as she waves her finger around pointing at the three of us. “Yes, I say that they do,” Mona says, looking at us in wonder. “Not today, though Mom,” Reed says. “Today we just want to enjoy being together just like any other newly mated and marked wolves would. OK?” Lucas adds. Mona looks at her boys with so much love it sometimes hurts to see it and remember that it is the same way that my Mom used to look at me. “We are not going to even worry about it until you two have graduated and the three of you have moved back to Twin Moon.” She then moves her gaze to me and I see that same love there for me. “I want my daughter to have time t
Heather POV I woke up a few times to make love with my mates, and I did exactly what Lucas once told me that their mate would be able to do. I made love with one of them, then rolled across the bed to the other. I hate to say, even though we had been spending weekends together I was still worried about what they were going to think. But now there are no worries. The bond that I had formed with Reed and Lucas had always been strong and scary when we were younger. Being able to pick up on some of their feelings even when I shouldn’t have been able to, felt wrong, but now it’s even stronger than before and nowhere near half as scary if that makes any sense. The strength of it now... wow. The love that I feel pouring off of these two is something else. The only other love that was this strong was my parents. I spent a lazy morning in bed with my mates showing me many ways that they love me, then a long shower where they showed me some more. It was almost noon when we made our way up to
Lucas POV I woke to the sun shining through the small gap that was in the curtains. It was casting a glow across the face of the beautiful woman who was using my bicep as a pillow. I can see Reed’s mark because of the way that she is sleeping, but I know that mine, the mirror image, is just as prominent on her other side. I’ve never heard of markings like the ones we have. They are very unusual and beautiful. I have heard about when witches mark their partners, but it’s still different from this from what I understand. So I don’t know if it’s because Reed and I are twins. I don’t know if a double-mate mark is different from a single-mate mark. But I think that it has something to do with the fact that Heather is the first of her kind. This would also explain why Reed’s and mine are so different from others we’ve seen. I keep thinking of all the things that led us to this point. Heather has been through hell ever since she met me and Reed. The stuff with Keegan and finding out about h
Possible Trauma Triggers Keegan POV Carter had ended up having to sedate Sophie. The bastard had taken over her body and tried to convince the guards to open the door, then went on to demand it. Then, when begging and pleading to let her go and see her daughter didn’t work, he tried to use Sophie’s wolf’s claw to slit her wrist. The guard that had been assigned to watch her acted quickly, using the tranquillizer gun and sedating her before any real damage was done. I had a feeling that this bastard would consider Sophie expendable. After that, Carter decided that it was best to just sedate us in case next time the guard wasn’t able to react as quickly. I rolled over, reaching for my phone that I had set on the stool that was beside the bed. I feel the drowsiness of the drugs that are still in my system and a wave of dizziness hits me as I sit up. Glancing at the phone, I see it’s just before three in the morning. I was just about to stand when I was hit with an immense pain that sho
Heather POV Reed, Lucas and I started towards the cabin. I slowed, allowing the guys to get a little ahead of me. I wanted to talk to them about what they had been discussing earlier. It may not be common nowadays, but I do know that in our culture it is more accepted. I’m thinking that I would like to take Mona’s approach. If it happens, it happens. Reed and Lucas turn as they reach the door, noticing that I wasn’t right behind them. “Is everything OK M’eudail?” Reed asks before opening the door and holding it for me. I walked in and stood in the middle of the room. “Do you not want to do this? Because we will wait if that is what you want, Mo leannan.” Lucas adds. I smiled at them and shook my head. “No, I don’t want to wait.” They both walked towards me, taking my hands and holding them to their chests. “I heard what the two of you were talking about earlier in the clearing just after I shifted. I don’t want to worry about protection either. “Are you sure M’eudail?” Reed asks, k
Heather POV Slowly the pain reseeded and I could hear Indigo calling me. ‘Heather it’s over.’ I could smell... fire, wood smoke. It reminded me of the campfires that I used to have with my family where I would sit and drink mint hot chocolate. ‘Mates’ Indigo said quietly. ‘Was that the other scent I was picking up on from the guys?’ I asked her. ‘Yes, our mates’ scents. They smell...’ ‘Like home.’ I finished for her. I could feel tingles spreading from behind Indigo’s ear as Lucas sat with her head in his lap. “If Heather agrees, I don't want to worry about protection.” He suddenly says. I feel tingles along my neck as Reed runs his fingers through Indigo’s fur. “Are you sure?” He asks. “Because I was thinking the same thing.” I was just about to ask Indigo what she thought when she suddenly jumped up. I watched through Indigo’s eyes as Reed and Lucas stood and walked towards us. “Are you ready for a run, Beautiful, because we have two very impatient wolves who want to be with y
Reed POV While Mom and the rest of the women went to talk to Heather, Lucas and I stayed with Dad, Gavin, and Alpha Sean. I was nervous, I didn’t know if Heather’s shift was going to be the same as ours or different because of being a hybrid. I was pacing along the edge of the path that led to the clearing we were going to later. Then the question that Lucas asked about us being ready to be parents, was going through my mind too. Was I ready at twenty to be a Dad? Was Heather ready to be a Mom at eighteen? What happens if she’s not ready, and we forget, are we going to spend the rest of our lives together with her resenting us? I felt a hand land on my shoulder and I looked to see Dad staring at me with worry. “What is going around in that head of yours, you look like you’re about to spill your guts, and I don’t mean verbally.” I walked over and sat on the log at the side of the path. Letting out an exhausted sigh, I confided in Dad. “I'm scared that something is going to go wrong.”
