Reed POV It took every ounce of control that I had not to run to wherever they had shipped Keegan to and rip him apart. Logically, I know that it wasn’t actually Keegan that did those things to her, but how do I beat the cr*p out of some force, spirit, curse, whatever the hell this thing is? Dad told us this morning that he and Alpha Rob had decided that they were going to involve The Council in what had happened with Keegan. The Council had picked Keegan up earlier to take him to their detention facility. Dad thought that he and Alpha Rob were going to be able to convince the Council that what had happened was because of this damn curse. Which we all, wholeheartedly believe. I had seen both videos that Dad had of Keegan in the cell. The one that got my attention and in my opinion shows that something is controlling Keegan is the one from the day that Heather went. I was still pissed about that. How could they take Heather there without letting Lucas and I know? The man was completel
Heather POV It’s been about two months since I started attending in-person classes. All my professors were informed of the circumstances that caused me to start late. All but one was very helpful in getting me caught back up. That one is still giving me a hard time. Seems to think that I don’t care about doing the work, so he won’t give me the back assignments to try and catch up, and he has even told me that I won’t pass the class without the assignments being completed. I’ve tried a few things now to get him to understand, but he won’t hear of it. I may have to get some of my other professors to help, or maybe even the Dean, but I don't want to if I can help it. I will be staying here for the Christmas break to get all the assignments finished before the deadline that the rest of the professors have given me. I know Grandma is not too happy with my plan but, it is the best right now. She and Grandpa are going to drive down to spend a day with me through the break, either on their w
Heather POV “Hey, Heather calm down no one is going to hurt you.” I hear a familiar voice say. When my brain started to focus again I realized that it was the teaching assistant from one of my classes. She had been the one to help me figure out what I needed to do in that class to get caught up. I took a few deep breaths trying to get myself calmed down the arms that were around me started to loosen, but didn’t completely let me go. Cassy looked at the person behind me and gave them a nod, indicating to let me go. The arms that had been holding me released me slowly. I watched as a guy I had never seen before stepped in front of me, turned his back to me and walked over to the guy I had attacked. That is when I noticed that the guy I had beaten was Professor Brigs, my jerk of a professor who had thought that I had been telling stories to get away with not starting school at the same time as the rest of the class. I watched as the guy who had pulled me off of him walked over to help hi
Heather POV I shook my head no as I tried to keep the tears at bay. I had known that something was still wrong. I still had not heard anything from Indigo, but I hadn’t realized that some of my senses were disappearing. I never considered that some of the new people I was meeting were wolves. The fact that I couldn’t detect them never came into play because I knew which ones around me, like Nolan, Jake, Paula and the guys across the hall, were already known to me. “How long has this been going on for Heather?” Cassy asks. Taking a deep breath, still trying to hold back the tears. “Since I was taken.” “You haven’t told Nolan, have you?” Mark asked. I shook my head again. “I haven’t told anyone.” “What is the last thing you remember your wolf saying to you and where were you?” Cassy asks. “I was in my car. I had just had a feeling of being watched. My car was hit from the side. I ended up in the ditch. Then I felt a jab in my neck and she said, OH shit. That was the last thing sh
Heather POV The four of us spent the rest of the day working on my projects. I don’t know how I will ever be able to repay these guys. They had no obligation to help. Hell Bryce didn’t even know me until he was pulling off of someone that I was beating on. We took a small break for lunch, at which time Mark left to finish the assignment that he had to do, but said that he would be back for supper and to help. I was coming back from taking a washroom break when I saw Bryce heading out the door. Cassy turned around when she heard me enter the room. “Bryce decided that he would go out to pick up dinner. He was starting to feel a little closed in being stuck inside for so long.” “You guys don’t have to stay. You have already helped me so much. Given up your whole weekend, I feel guilty.” I say sadly. “It was no trouble. Besides, I like what I found out,” Cassy says as she pulls the shirt of Nolan’s that she is wearing up to her nose. Even though Bryce had swung by their apartment when
Heather POV I woke up with a start to find myself on the couch with a blanket thrown over me. The sound of someone moving around in the kitchen drew my attention. Cassy walked around the island and took a seat on one of the chairs. “Well, good morning, or should I say afternoon? How did you sleep?” I shook my head. What does she mean by afternoon? I just lay down. It hasn’t been that long. I turned to face Cassy when I heard her chuckle. “Heather, you’ve been asleep for almost twelve hours now.” “What? That can’t be.” “Yeah, it is. Did you learn anything, though?” “I did,” I said happily. “Let me take a shower, and I’ll tell you while we eat.” About half an hour later, we were sitting at the kitchen island while I told Cassy what Indigo had told me. “So whatever drug they gave me to knock me out affected her longer. She said she knew I was safe when she finally woke up, but one of the dreams that I had in the hospital triggered a memory for her. She didn’t say what it was, just t
Reed POV I had been a little upset to find out that Heather wasn’t coming home for Christmas. I looked at the box I had put under the tree. I had hoped to give it to her in person. It looks like Nolan will be taking it back to her. I understand why she didn’t come home. Lucas and I had been so swamped with catch-up work when we’d finally gotten to school that I didn’t want to imagine what Heather was dealing with. I will admit that I think about Heather a lot. Rory had been pretty good though, since we had gone back to school. He realized that if we wanted Heather to accept us when she turns eighteen, we couldn’t crowd her. Today, though, well I guess it was more like last night, things seemed off. Rory had been restless and agitated, but he couldn’t tell me why. At first, I thought that maybe it was like that time that Heather had broken her finger, but Rory said it was different. Lucas said that Laydon had been the same way. To try and help them calm down, the two of us went for a
Heather POVAfter I hung up the phone, I was scared that the guys were going to call me back, so I turned my phone off. I tried to figure out what I wanted to say to them. I still wasn’t sure what I wanted. When I saw that movie playing, I thought it was a sign. But when I was talking to them, and they sounded distracted, I thought maybe they were with someone else. Maybe they had moved on with someone who didn’t have my trauma. I wouldn’t blame them. There have been several things that have gone wrong ever since I moved to Twin Moon. I understand it’s not my fault, but come on. The only thing that I can even think of that was good is that Melissa and Carter ended up being mates, but that still wasn’t without its problems. All my happy feelings from earlier had just disappeared. I sat and thought about the image that Indigo had shown, just because the image had Reed and Lucas in it didn’t mean I was with them. It just meant that they were going to grow older than twenty-five. I was so
