I would like to hear your thoughts. Thanks for reading.
Reed POV I started to slowly wake up. I have the feeling that something isn’t right. I reach for Heather as my brain starts to clear from sleep. Finding the spot beside me empty. I opened my eyes, only to be looking at the confused face of my twin. We both sat up looking around. I made a dash to the bathroom. “Not here.” I yelled at Lucas. I turned to see Lucas pulling on a pair of sweatpants on his way to the door. In my haste to grab my pants from the floor beside the bed, I bumped the night stand, causing the top drawer to slide open slightly. As I reached to push it closed I caught a glimpse of the box inside. I can feel the color drain from my face as I pull the box out. I slid down the side of the bed to the floor. “FUCK!” I screamed as Lucas came back into the room. Standing in front of me with a piece of paper in his hand, he whispers. “She left.” Lucas hands me the paper he has. I take it and open it without looking at him. Dear Reed and Lucas I want to start by saying I
Lucas POV Reed and I stood very still with our heads hung down. It will never matter how big we get. I will always have a healthy fear of my Mom because the last thing I want to do is make her think she did a bad job raising us. Mom has every right to be upset with us at this moment. She and Dad raised us better than that, and its Heather we’re talking about. “Look at me.” Mom commands. We raise our heads to meet the death glare that Mom is giving us. “We will discuss this later at home with Dad. Right now, the two of you are going to get your truck from Lyla’s.” She opens her door. “Oh and boys, Gavin has your keys, and he talked to Heather before she left. You remember how good of a tracker his is? How keen his sense of smell is?” Mom gets in and drives away. “Mom apparently has already talked to Gavin." "Yeah, but was that before or after we called her about needing a ride," Reed says. "I wonder if he saw the marks and if he told Mom?” “I don’t know,” Reed says with a shrug.
Luna Mona POV I rubbed Shane’s arm while looking at the boys. “Hey guys...” They turned their sorrow-filled gazes to me. “...I know for a fact that Heather is on birth control.” The relief that flooded their faces was undeniable, but Shane didn’t relax. “I would still like you to call Heather and make sure that they didn’t break the skin.” Shane says. “Why?” I asked as I turned in his lap to face him. “Because even if they didn’t bite hard enough to actually mark her, if any venom gets into her system it can cancel out the birth control.” I just stared at him. “They are male Alphas, our venom is designed to make sure we have offspring, mate or not. Just a small amount in the woman’s system will increase her chances of getting pregnant. That is why, I thought, I had pounded into them to always use condoms. All it would take is a small nip somewhere.” Turning back to the boys, “Is there any chance that this has happened with any other female?” Both boys vigorously shook their heads
Heather POV Walking up to the nurse’s desk, I see that Dr. Mason is standing off to the side looking over some charts. Hearing me approach, she looks up. “Heather? Is everything ok?” She asks with concern. She was a good friend of my Mom’s and was the doctor who had delivered me. I just hope she isn’t disappointed in me when I tell her why I’m here. “Hi Dr. Mason.” I gave her a hug. “I don’t think there is anything wrong, but I would like you to check something for me to verify there is nothing wrong.” She gave me a confused look. “Ok, let’s head into my office, so you can stop talking in riddles.” She chuckled as I followed her down the hall. Walking into the office, Dr. Mason takes a seat behind her desk and motions for me to take a seat. “Just so you know, Heather, this office is soundproof so no one will hear what we are talking about.” I nervously rub my hands together with my head hung down looking at my feet. “It was recommended that I have you to look at something for me a
Heather POV I dashed into my room. I don’t have any other high neck shirts, so I pulled out one that has a button collar that covers them pretty well, but it is easier to tell that they are bite marks. Jacob is still standing in the hall where I left him. As I walk up to him, he raises his hands and points to both sides of my neck. “I’m going to go out on a limb here and say the twins?” I hung my head down and nodded. I felt an arm wrap around my shoulder, giving me a squeeze. “Come on, let go see if we can find my real sister in that thing that has been pretending to be her the last few weeks, because I think you have a very interesting story that you want to tell her.” Jacob held the door to the office for me after his Dad told us to enter. Alpha Sean was seated at his desk with Luna Rene on his lap. Zane was sitting on one of the chairs in front of the desk and Dawn was pacing back and forth in front of the window. Jacob went to sit in the chair next to Zane’s and I headed for th
Heather POV Three very shocked and concerned faces turn towards Alpha Sean. “Dad, can you elaborate?” Jacob asks. Luna Rene shifts in Alpha Sean’s lap. “I’d like to know more about this too. I’ve never heard a thing about it before either.” Sitting up a little straighter, Alpha Sean tightens his hold on Luna Rene. “So the venom from an Alpha, Beta or Gamma male has properties that ensure that off spring will be produced. That is why we have always said that if you don’t want kids, use a condom. Plain and simple. The venom is designed to cause a female to go into a mini... heat. This usually happens when there is no intercourse. If the male's wolf feels that the female is good and strong, they will use the venom to encourage sex. It was a way of making sure that packs would have strong members. It only happens when the male is with someone that their wolf deems to be a good match as a mate. The problem is that our genetics haven't caught up with our laws. The wolves will sometimes be
Heather POV It’s been about a week since the day in Alpha Sean’s office. Things between Dawn and Zane were much better now that they understood why Dawn was paranoid. She still had a few episodes wanting him to mark her, but Zane was able to calm her down by holding her and watching how he worded things. The small scratch that had been on the back edge of Dawn’s ear, which is why nobody noticed it. It had finally disappeared yesterday. Dawn and I have spent the day in the kitchen preparing things for the going away party for Jacob and Zane tomorrow out at the lake. Now we’re relaxing by the pool before supper. It is easy to see that Dawn is back to her old self, since she hasn’t once been in a panic about finding Zane. He'd been with Jacob all day finalizing their travel plans. “So are you going to tell me how it was?” Dawn asked as she sat up on the edge of her lounge chair. I pulled my sunglasses down my nose to peak over the tops of them. “How was what?” I asked, a little confuse
Reed POVDad turns towards us from where we had stepped to the side of the hall to allow Mac to pass. “Come on in boys,” Dad says as he waves us through the door. He sits down, puts his elbows on his desk and starts to rub his temples.“Dad, what was that all about? What’s going on? We know you’ve been stressing about something.” Lucas blunts out as soon as we’re seated.Dad gets up, grabs the bottle of whiskey from the cabinet, grabs three glasses, and sits in one of the wing-back chairs over by the fireplace. Lucas and I walked over to join him. I watch as he pours a glass for each of us, downs his and pours another before sitting back. “There has been an increase of hunter activity in Europe over the past few weeks or so, mainly in Italy, Spain and Greece.”“Spain, as in where Meg is?” I asked, starting to get worried about Meg.“Meg is in Scotland right now. She finished her program last month.”“Does Quinn know? He has been waiting so long for her to come back.” I’m starting to g
