Heather POV I walked out to the kitchen to the smell of fresh pancakes and maple syrup. Lucas was standing near the table with a huge smile on his face. OK, so they are both going to act weird about this. They are kind of reminding me of what Jacob and Zane acted like the first time that Dawn got her period. It was like they thought they had to be completely different around her. That’s when Reed’s question made sense. I hadn’t started getting my period yet in the time that we had been hanging out when we were younger. I sat down and waited for the boys to sit. “Eight days,” I said as I reached for the butter. “What?” Lucas asked. “I was answering Reed’s question. I started my first period eight days after that thing with Sophie happened. That day went down to the dining hall and saw Hanna and Hazel sitting on your laps, I had been coming to find you, so we could talk. I missed you. Now that you’ve asked that question, I think that had something to do with it. I had an overwhelming
Lucas POV We spent the rest of the afternoon doing what we said we were going to do. We were cuddled on the couch watching TV. Heather sat on Reed’s lap for a while. Then she switched to mine. At one point she said she was hot and moved the chair to sit by herself. I think that if Reed hadn’t called Mom first thing this morning I might have gotten a little panicky that we had upset her, but I remembered that Mom said she may not want us to touch her sometimes, so we were all good. Even though we didn’t say anything, we were all a little antsy waiting to hear what was going on with the call that Dad had got. The fact that we knew it was Mac and that they had mentioned finding her scent, we were hoping that it meant that they had gotten a lead on Meg’s whereabouts. With things starting to finally feel as if they were falling into place with Heather, Reed and I, the next step was to get the rest of our pack members home. By four o’clock we still hadn't heard anything, and we were gettin
Heather POV I sat up and stared at Lucas. Was he asking because he didn’t want any? It is unusual for an Alpha not to want an heir, but it does happen. I know that it was most likely because of my period, but the thought that Lucas didn’t want kids made me burst into tears. Was it that he didn’t want kids or did just not want them with me because they have the chance to be like me with the mixed genes and just bring more trouble to the pack? I pushed off Lucas’s lap and headed for my bedroom. There was a knock on the door thinking it was the pizza, I didn’t turn around the guys could handle it. I lay on my bed crying. Not even fully sure why. I don’t know if I’m upset, because I think that Lucas doesn’t want kids with me or the fact that they would give up the chance to be fathers to be with me. But I want kids and I want them with Reed and Lucas. I heard my bedroom door slowly open, thinking that it was one of the guys I didn’t look to see. “Hey, Heather.” I sat up to see Cassy sta
Heather POV The guys and I spent the rest of the evening just chilling on the couch and eating pizza. I don’t know how long Cassy stayed because at some point I fell asleep curled up on the guys’ laps. When I woke up, Cassy was gone, and I was in one of my favourite places, cuddled between the guys. We got up and had breakfast before my stomach started growling. Nolan had called earlier and said that he and the others were on their way home to get things ready for the party tomorrow. After getting off the phone with Nolan, I was sitting debating whether I should call Cassy or not. I know she said that she was coming to the party, but I kind of wanted to let them meet in a bit more of a private setting. Instead of calling Cass, I called Bryce. “Hey, Heather, how are things going?” Bryce asked with a little hint of worry. “Good, everything is good. I’m actually calling about Cassy. “Is she over there again? I told her you were going to get sick of her, especially when you’re trying to
Reed POV “Indigo called it a premonition power, but the visions that I will be able to have could be the future, the present or the past.” I heard the pot start to boil over and ran over quickly to pull it off the burner. “Well, you could have given me a warning that was going to happen,” I said with a chuckle. As I wiped up the stove top the best I could with the burner being hot. After setting the pot back on the burner to finish cooking the contents, I leaned back against the counter and just stared at Heather. My mind wonders as I think about what Heather just told us. We knew that she was special and had already shown signs of her witch genes, but I never stopped to think that it would be more than just a heightened sense of ...warning? How many more is she going to have? How strong is she going to be? Will she be the target of other packs for the rest of her life or just until she is marked? How long are we going to be able to hide what she is? Should we hide what she is? I
Heather POV I’m in that forest again, at least I think it’s the same one. Things are still blurry and muffled. This time, instead of a cave, I can hear yelling, and it sounds as if someone is running. The sound of branches snapping right behind me had me whipping around to see who it was. I can’t make out any figures, but I can tell that it is a woman. I watch as she bends down, grabs a handful of animal droppings and starts to rub it on her clothes. The only thing I can think that she is doing is trying to disguise her scent. She must be trying to hide from the people who are yelling. I really need to learn how to control these visions. Ahhh if I could only see her clearer or understand what the others were talking about, maybe this would be useful. As it is now, it’s just frustrating. Things started to fade out. NOOO. I need to figure out what is going on. ‘Indigo.’ Great she’s not answering. Where the hell is she when I need her? I watch in frustration as everything fades away. I
Heather POV “We were hoping that when you are done with school you would move in with us until we graduate. Then the three of us could move back to Twin Moon together.” I just stared at Lucas, then turned and looked at Reed. Move in with them? I don’t know what to say to that. I have plans to live with them. I just never thought of doing it before they graduated. “We don’t think that we will be able to concentrate without you with us. You only have three weeks roughly after your birthday until you're done with classes. We want you to come live with us after that.” Reed said, reaching to take my hand. Looking between the two of them, I took a deep breath. “Let me think about it,” I said, not sure what else to say. “That is all we ask. We don’t want to push you. We just wanted you to know that this is something we were thinking about.” Lucas says, taking my other hand. I nodded and took back both of my hands and finished my food. Once we were finished, I made a pot of tea and head
Reed POV I was holding the cart still as Lucas loaded four cases of water into it. As Lucas set the last case in the cart, I felt a hand slide up the back of my coat and around my waist. I knew instantly that it wasn’t Heather. I tried to step away, but with the shelves on one side, Lucas in front of the cart, and a display right behind me, the only way I had to move was toward the person I wanted to get away from. Lucas stood up from the cart to see what was happening. He grabbed the front of the cart and pulled it forward. I didn’t hesitate to follow it. Spinning around to see who had the gall to touch me, so intimately I came to face one of the girls that had hit on us that first trip to the grocery store. Is she that desperate that all she does is hang out in the grocery store to find company? “Hey, cuties fancy meeting you here again.” She said in a high-pitched whiney voice that sounded more irritating now than it did the first day she approached us. “I see your girlfriend is
