Could what is going on with the Twins and Heather be what is affecting Quinn?
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. “...
Heather POV I followed Mona upstairs. At the top of the stairs is a hallway containing five doors. Mona explained the first two doors on the right at the top of the stairs were the boys’ rooms. The double doors at the end of the hall lead to the master suite and the first door on the left-hand side was a bathroom and the second was the guest suite where I was going to be staying. The room has light grey hard wood flooring, and is painted in a light blue-grey colour with a charcoal grey colour on the baseboards and trim. To the left of the door there is what looks to be an en-suite and a second door to a closet. To the right there is a small sitting area containing two over-stuffed swivel arm chairs with an end table between them. They are placed in a position that offers another beautiful view of the forest outside the sliding patio doors that also allow you to access the balcony. There is a king size four poster bed that matches the colour of the trim and a comforter that matches th
Heather POVI start rewrapping the bread when I hear a whine. “That’s all we get, just one piece each.” I turn and stare at Reed. “Would you prefer to have none?” The look of pure horror that appears on his face is priceless. A snort of laughter escapes my mouth, as Shane and Lucas start to laugh at him. Shane reaches over to pick up the plate. “Well thank you son, that means there is more for me.” I grab the plate before Shane gets it. “If that’s how you’re going to be, maybe I’ll just take all of it with me.” I start to walk away with the plate and the rest of the loaf when I hear from all of them. “No, Please.” Chuckling I set the plate and loaf down on the island and go to find Mona.I go through the doorway under the stairs, which is a small hallway. The door at the end of hall is open. It looks to be an office/library. I made my way in to Mona, who is sitting on the couch with her feet pulled up under her and a cup of tea in her hand. “Come on in Heather. Close the door. Pour yo
Heather POV“Why’s Heather crying?” Reed asks as he also kneels in front of me.“Is it because of something we did?” They ask in unison as they reach out to wipe away my tears and cup my cheeks. I raise my hands and place them over each of their hands on my face. Shaking my head no, I answered them. “It wasn’t you guys. I’m just feeling overwhelmed and missing my parents.” They slowly leaned forward, placing their foreheads against mine. Yes, they still have to lean over since they are still taller than me when kneeling in front of me, sitting on the couch and take a deep breath. We stayed in this position for a minute or so before Reed broke the silence.“Lucas and I were going to ask if you wanted to make some popcorn and watch a movie but you would rather not, we understand.” Reed asks as the two of them lean back.“Actually, I think that might just be the type of normal thing I need right now. What movie did you have in mind?”“Hadn’t thought of one yet.”They both stood and reach
Lucas POV “Should we make one or two bags of popcorn?” I asked as I headed for the pantry. “Well, considering you’ll eat a whole bag on your own, I’d say two so that Heather and I at least get some.” “Just shut up and grab the popcorn bowl.” As I’m pouring the second bag into the bowl, Heather walks into the living room, stopping in the doorway near the bathroom with a look of worry on her face. “Are the rooms in these quarters sound proof?” Reed sets some drinks on the coffee table, picks up the remote and leans back on the couch. “The only room that has sound proofing is the master suite. Why?” “If that’s the case from what I just saw, we’re going to need a movie with lots of loud noises.” I set the bowl of popcorn down on the table beside the drinks and leaned back in a similar position as Reed. I turned my head towards Reed with a questioning look. He shrugs his shoulder and we both turn to look at Heather as I ask. “Why? What did you see?” “Your Dad with no shirt on, swing
Heather POV The next day, Dr. Beal called me with the results of my visit. It looks like I’m going to be a Mom. I was nervous all last night and this morning. I was able to hold off the morning sickness until after Reed and Lucas left the room. I know they could pick up on my nervousness, so I’m not going to be able to keep it from them for too long. That is why I’m now pacing in front of the fireplace waiting for them to come back for the evening. I know a lot of people nowadays are doing cute little things to tell their partners that they’re pregnant, so I’ve been trying to think of a way to do it without having to do massive planning. I’m so lost in my thoughts that I jump when the door flies open and Reed and Lucas storm in. Reed walks right up to me, grabs my shoulders and spins me to face him. “Heather, what is going on? Your agitation has been driving the two of us crazy. Tell us what is going on.” Taking a deep breath, I stared at these two large gorgeous men. “OK, sit down.
Heather POV It has been a month since Reed, Lucas and I marked each other. The guys have graduated, and we have moved back to Twin Moon. The original plan was for the three of us to start learning the day-to-day operations of running the pack. Fine-tuning our knowledge, you could call it. Unfortunately, with Meg and April still missing, that has been put on hold. We are still waiting to hear from everyone overseas if there is any word about Meg. The visions have been happening more often but are not giving us any more information. April has been keeping in touch, but still won't come home or tell us what she is doing or who she is with. Reed and Lucas are planning on joining Mac and Quinn next week in the search. We need to get the two girls home. We have started doing some remodelling on a couple of the rooms on the second floor of the residential building. We are designing them into a small apartment for Mona and Shane. Mona insists that the three of us move into the Alpha apartme
Heather POV I looked down at my hands where they were resting on the guys’ hands. I moved my gaze up my arm and looked at both Reed and Lucas’ marks on their necks. It all seemed to be glowing. “That has got to be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen,” Rene says. “I think there is much for you and your mates to learn about... this,” Grandma says as she waves her finger around pointing at the three of us. “Yes, I say that they do,” Mona says, looking at us in wonder. “Not today, though Mom,” Reed says. “Today we just want to enjoy being together just like any other newly mated and marked wolves would. OK?” Lucas adds. Mona looks at her boys with so much love it sometimes hurts to see it and remember that it is the same way that my Mom used to look at me. “We are not going to even worry about it until you two have graduated and the three of you have moved back to Twin Moon.” She then moves her gaze to me and I see that same love there for me. “I want my daughter to have time t
Heather POV I woke up a few times to make love with my mates, and I did exactly what Lucas once told me that their mate would be able to do. I made love with one of them, then rolled across the bed to the other. I hate to say, even though we had been spending weekends together I was still worried about what they were going to think. But now there are no worries. The bond that I had formed with Reed and Lucas had always been strong and scary when we were younger. Being able to pick up on some of their feelings even when I shouldn’t have been able to, felt wrong, but now it’s even stronger than before and nowhere near half as scary if that makes any sense. The strength of it now... wow. The love that I feel pouring off of these two is something else. The only other love that was this strong was my parents. I spent a lazy morning in bed with my mates showing me many ways that they love me, then a long shower where they showed me some more. It was almost noon when we made our way up to
Lucas POV I woke to the sun shining through the small gap that was in the curtains. It was casting a glow across the face of the beautiful woman who was using my bicep as a pillow. I can see Reed’s mark because of the way that she is sleeping, but I know that mine, the mirror image, is just as prominent on her other side. I’ve never heard of markings like the ones we have. They are very unusual and beautiful. I have heard about when witches mark their partners, but it’s still different from this from what I understand. So I don’t know if it’s because Reed and I are twins. I don’t know if a double-mate mark is different from a single-mate mark. But I think that it has something to do with the fact that Heather is the first of her kind. This would also explain why Reed’s and mine are so different from others we’ve seen. I keep thinking of all the things that led us to this point. Heather has been through hell ever since she met me and Reed. The stuff with Keegan and finding out about h
Possible Trauma Triggers Keegan POV Carter had ended up having to sedate Sophie. The bastard had taken over her body and tried to convince the guards to open the door, then went on to demand it. Then, when begging and pleading to let her go and see her daughter didn’t work, he tried to use Sophie’s wolf’s claw to slit her wrist. The guard that had been assigned to watch her acted quickly, using the tranquillizer gun and sedating her before any real damage was done. I had a feeling that this bastard would consider Sophie expendable. After that, Carter decided that it was best to just sedate us in case next time the guard wasn’t able to react as quickly. I rolled over, reaching for my phone that I had set on the stool that was beside the bed. I feel the drowsiness of the drugs that are still in my system and a wave of dizziness hits me as I sit up. Glancing at the phone, I see it’s just before three in the morning. I was just about to stand when I was hit with an immense pain that sho
Heather POV Reed, Lucas and I started towards the cabin. I slowed, allowing the guys to get a little ahead of me. I wanted to talk to them about what they had been discussing earlier. It may not be common nowadays, but I do know that in our culture it is more accepted. I’m thinking that I would like to take Mona’s approach. If it happens, it happens. Reed and Lucas turn as they reach the door, noticing that I wasn’t right behind them. “Is everything OK M’eudail?” Reed asks before opening the door and holding it for me. I walked in and stood in the middle of the room. “Do you not want to do this? Because we will wait if that is what you want, Mo leannan.” Lucas adds. I smiled at them and shook my head. “No, I don’t want to wait.” They both walked towards me, taking my hands and holding them to their chests. “I heard what the two of you were talking about earlier in the clearing just after I shifted. I don’t want to worry about protection either. “Are you sure M’eudail?” Reed asks, k
Heather POV Slowly the pain reseeded and I could hear Indigo calling me. ‘Heather it’s over.’ I could smell... fire, wood smoke. It reminded me of the campfires that I used to have with my family where I would sit and drink mint hot chocolate. ‘Mates’ Indigo said quietly. ‘Was that the other scent I was picking up on from the guys?’ I asked her. ‘Yes, our mates’ scents. They smell...’ ‘Like home.’ I finished for her. I could feel tingles spreading from behind Indigo’s ear as Lucas sat with her head in his lap. “If Heather agrees, I don't want to worry about protection.” He suddenly says. I feel tingles along my neck as Reed runs his fingers through Indigo’s fur. “Are you sure?” He asks. “Because I was thinking the same thing.” I was just about to ask Indigo what she thought when she suddenly jumped up. I watched through Indigo’s eyes as Reed and Lucas stood and walked towards us. “Are you ready for a run, Beautiful, because we have two very impatient wolves who want to be with y
Reed POV While Mom and the rest of the women went to talk to Heather, Lucas and I stayed with Dad, Gavin, and Alpha Sean. I was nervous, I didn’t know if Heather’s shift was going to be the same as ours or different because of being a hybrid. I was pacing along the edge of the path that led to the clearing we were going to later. Then the question that Lucas asked about us being ready to be parents, was going through my mind too. Was I ready at twenty to be a Dad? Was Heather ready to be a Mom at eighteen? What happens if she’s not ready, and we forget, are we going to spend the rest of our lives together with her resenting us? I felt a hand land on my shoulder and I looked to see Dad staring at me with worry. “What is going around in that head of yours, you look like you’re about to spill your guts, and I don’t mean verbally.” I walked over and sat on the log at the side of the path. Letting out an exhausted sigh, I confided in Dad. “I'm scared that something is going to go wrong.”
