Please keep the comments coming. I do enjoy hearing your thoughts and feelings about and toward the characters. Thank you.
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
Lucas POV Reed and I tried to be quiet while we moved the boxes into the hallway. I don’t think we succeed. I ran into a wall. Reed dropped a box. There was no way that Heather didn’t know that someone was outside her door. Reed and I think we’ve come up with a good plan. We figured that because of our idiotic teenage decisions, we had missed out on a lot of holiday time with Heather. It’s one thing to meet someone later in life and start building memories with them. It’s another to know that that person was right there and you have missed out on building those memories, because of your stupid actions. So we want to start building them now. We want to show her that we have grown. That weekend that we spent with her at the cabin was the best time of my life. We need her to understand that that is the type of life we want to have with her. We want the strong, independent woman that we know is in there. We want her to help run and care for the pack. We want to have kids with her, grow ol
Heather POV “What are you talking about? What other guy?” I asked. I had no clue what they were talking about or where they even got the idea that there was another that could be considered competition. “The other guy that you called to tell us about last night,” Reed says. “That’s not why I called you,” I said, still looking at them confused. “So what was making you cry?” Lucas asked, turning me to face him. I hung my head down. If what the boys had just said was true does that mean I was wrong about them being with someone last night? “Can I ask a question before I answer?” “Sure anything, M’eudail,” Reed said, putting his arms around my waist and pulling my back against his front. “Where were the two of you when I called and what were you doing?” “We...” Lucas starts as he tips my head up again “...were sitting in the living room waiting for our parents to get back from some errands, flipping through movie selections, and sulking because you weren’t going to be with us for C
Heather POV Relaxing back against the couch, I started to explain everything, starting with my problems with Professor Brigs or as I was calling him Professor Jerk. I thought that would be less shocking. I told them about the hassle he’d been giving me with my missed assignments. Then about how he scared me and I beat the crap out of him in the parking lot. Reed chuckled and kissed me on the temple as he said, “That’s my girl.” I told them about Cassy and Bryce pulling me off of him. Cassy recognized me from the class that she is an AT in. I didn’t mention anything about not being able to sense that they were wolves. I will get to that later. I told them about Professor Jerk’s little temper tantrum before he stomped off to his vehicle. I informed them about Bryce and Cassy’s father being Professor Jerk’s Alpha and the meeting that Bryce had gone to where he and his father told that not-so-kind professor what was going to be happening from now on concerning my work. Bryce said that hi
