Reed POV I raised my hand to knock on the office door, but before I could, I heard Mom’s soft voice. “Come on in, boys.” Mom was seated on one end of the couch she had in the office curled up with a cup of tea in her hands. Dad was standing by the small bar behind the desk. “Before we get started boys, how strong of a drink am I going to need for this talk?” Lucas and I sit ourselves down in the two wingback chairs that sit across from the couch. I turned towards Dad to answer him. “Well, we haven’t done anything wrong, we just have some questions about a couple of things that have happened. So you choose.” Dad lets out a long sigh, grabs four glasses, a bottle of scotch and makes his way over to the couch beside Mom. He places the glasses down, pours roughly two shots into each glass, hands one to Mom as she sits forward and places her tea cup on the table. He passes one to each Lucas and I, saying as he does, “By the looks on your faces, you may need this too.” He then leans bac
Reed POV I tapped Lucas on the arm and nodded my head towards the truck. I linked Lucas as we are walking out of the house after putting the last boxes inside. “Hey do you think we should see if they want to stay for the party tonight? It would give Heather a chance to meet some of the ones she’ll be going to school with while people she knows are still here.” He answers me with, “Go for it.” We talked with Jacob and Zane for a bit after asking them about the party. Jacob was calling his Dad as we all walked around the house to where our parents were sitting with Lyla, Dawn and Heather. The first thing I smell as I get around the corner of the house is Lyla’s homemade banana bread with walnuts, my favourite. We’ll never get Dad out of here now. “Boys, did you see that? Lyla hit me.” It is the first thing that Dad says to us. “Why, what did you do this time Dad?” We asked in unison. We tend to do that a lot. Some people think it’s creepy. To us it’s normal. “My own sons won’t even
Reed POV “Oh don’t forget that thing with Quinn when we pick Heather and Dawn up,” Lucas says. “What thing?” Dad asks. “Quinn seems to be having some issues lately,” I said. My Mom pats my Dad’s knee. “Remember it’s only two weeks till his eighteenth. So take it easy, you weren’t all that great to deal with at that age either.” I look at Dad. “Quinn has been a little testy the last little while. He seemed fine when we first showed up at Lyla’s. We talked for a bit. We introduced Heather and Dawn to Quinn, Levi, Meg and April. When we went to get in the truck, we had already arranged to have Heather ride in the cab with us and Quinn. Well, the truck is so high, or you could say because Heather is so short, the step of the truck is at mid chest for her. Quinn lifted her up on the step, but then he slid his hand from her hip to her thigh and down to her mid calf. He felt her up. All I’m going to say is the feeling that that caused was really unexpected.” “You felt like tearing his h
Luna Mona POV I waited until I saw the boys heading across the yard towards the training field where Levi and Quinn were sparing before I grabbed a book off one of my shelves and sat back down beside Shane. He sat up straight in order to get a better look at the book I had. “Ok, spill, I know something the boys said has got you thinking.” “I didn’t want to say anything in front of them but I think Heather may be their mate. I know it shouldn’t be possible for them to get the strong feelings that they are only being fifteen and fourteen. The regular teenage hormones, yes, but the calming feelings and need to protect? Did you ever feel anything like what the boys described when you were that age when you would take girls up to the lookout, and don’t deny that you took girls there.” “Yes, I took girls there. No, I never felt things like what the boys were talking about, regular hormones, oh most definitely.” I let a growl escape, Shane takes the book out of my hand and sets it on the
Heather POV When we had left to head to Grandma’s house, I felt bad about spending my second night in the Twin Moon Pack not with Grandma but again at the packhouse. When we first arrived at Grandma’s I had told her a bit about what had happened at the lookout and that was why I was staying another night. As Grandma put it, she is not a wolf, and has never been mated to one, so when it comes to anything about that type of stuff she won’t be able to give me answers. She said that if I felt comfortable asking Luna Mona and she was willing to help, Grandma said that she would not feel offended. Hearing that made me feel less guilty. We had spent about an hour giving Grandma a very detailed account of our high jinks that we had been up to already today. With how hard she had laughed at the video that April showed her of the guys running around the yard trying to catch Molly, I thought Grandma might have had a heart attack. She had tears running down her face and she almost fell out of her
Heather POV When we got back to the packhouse, Meg had linked Luna Mona to let her know we were back and to ask where I was going to be staying. While we were waiting for Meg to contact Luna Mona, we had been standing watching the boys, sparing. “Luna Mona asked me to bring you up to the Alpha’s quarters.” Meg says as we turn back to the car. I was taking my bag out of the back seat when I heard some yelling. Meg, April and I turned towards it. We could see Reed and Lucas at the bottom of the hill in the training area sparing or more like trying to hold Quinn back. Quinn was pointing up the hill at us. Levi was standing off to the side shaking his head no. Quinn looked pissed. “We need to get inside now.” Both Meg and April told me as they grabbed my arms, steering me towards the covered breezeway between the residence building and the main packhouse. Just as we reach the door into the building that houses the Alpha, Beta and Gamma families, we are passed by the three fathers on the
Heather POV Alpha Shane swung his arm out and gestured toward the buildings. “Come on, Mona says that supper has arrived. If we take too long, those sons of mine won’t leave us much of it.” Alpha Shane and I walked in silence up to his quarters. Before we walked through the door, we could hear Luna Mona jokingly yelling at Reed and Lucas that setting the table does not mean eating the food as you place it on the table. Alpha Shane looks at me with a smirk on his face. “What did I tell you?” Alpha Shane opens the door and gestures for me to enter. When I first walked in before with my duffle bag, I had not really looked at the place. I had been more worried about what was going on down on the training field. This time I took a better look at my surroundings. To my right there was a door that looked like it contained a closet. Going counter clockwise from the closet around the large open floor plan next was the kitchen with island/breakfast bar at the end of the kitchen cupboards was
Heather POV “Not at all. It is just another reason why we should make sure you are able to mind-link with the other members of this pack. If you still want to do that now, I’ll give Alpha Sean a call to let him know that you have agreed to that so that he, along with Luna Rene and Jacob, are not caught off guard when your link with them is broken. I’ll be right back.” I watched as Alpha, I mean just Shane, walked over to a doorway that I hadn’t noticed under the stairs. I helped Mona clear the table, placing the dirty dishes in the sink and wiping down the table. These guys didn’t leave any leftovers to put away. As we were finishing up, Shane came back into the living room. “Heather, have you ever seen how this is done?” I stood there shaking my head negatively. I have to admit I was starting to get a little nervous. I had never needed to know how this was done. I had no clue what was going to take place. “Have a seat...” He motioned to one of the stools at the breakfast bar. “...
