Don't those five sound like a fun group? What are your thoughts?
Heather POV April and Meg headed out while I jogged over to where I left my tank top that I had removed while sparring. I bent over to pick it up when I heard. “That’s the view I had from the table this morning at the end of breakfast. Nice isn’t it.” “Oh yes, it’s a very nice ass. I like that view.” I straightened up quickly and whirled around standing not too far away from Reed and Lucas and when I made eye contact with them, they realized I had just heard what they said. They both have that caught in the headlights look. They tilt their heads down quickly to hide their faces. Quinn and Levi have left and it looks like their fan club followed. Reed and Lucas still have their fans hanging off them. I’m not about to go anywhere near those girls, so I send the boys my own message. “Reed, Lucas...” They both look at me. “...if you’re going to ignore me all morning you have no right to comment or stare at any part of my body, so while you have your fun with them, this very nice ass is
Heather POV I can’t believe those two. I made my way up the stairs. As I turn down the hall that leads to the Alpha’s quarters, I faintly hear two people arguing at the other end of the hall that sound like Quinn and Meg. Normally I would have checked to see if everything was ok, but right now I’m so pissed at those two. I stomped through the door, running right into Shane. He catches me by my shoulders. If he hadn’t, I would have been on my ass. Looking up, way up, I looked Shane dead in the eye. “Your sons are jerks.” I didn’t wait to see what his reaction was, I just headed for the stairs. As I was opening the door to my room, I heard Reed and Lucas come in the front door. “What the hell did you two do?” I heard Shane ask as I closed my door. After locking my door, I head into the bathroom, turn on the shower and grab a towel out of the cupboard, placing it on the counter while I wait for the water to warm up. What gives them the right to spend all morning acting like I pissed th
Megan POV He steps towards me, trying to get a hold of me again. I stepped back only to have my back hit the large floor to ceiling window that makes one entire wall of the stairwell. I will give it to the Alpha and Luna, they did a good job designing this place to give you views all around the forest so you don’t feel closed in, but still be protected from some of the harsh winter weather we get. Quinn places a hand on the window on either side of me at chest level, caging me. Stepping in closer, he slides his knee in between my thighs using his thigh to pick me up off the ground so that I’m now straddling his thigh, causing my already heating core to feel the fiction being caused by him flexing his leg muscles. I placed my hands on his shoulders to balance myself. He wrapped one arm around my waist, the other across my back, pulling me into his chest, he leans in and whispers. “I’m not letting you go anywhere until you tell me what’s bothering you.” He starts placing kisses as well
Quinn POV How can she think that I wouldn’t want people to know I had a thing for her? I know we never talked about it, but after yesterday I have been doing nothing but thinking about holding her. The only way I’m able to calm down and think is if she is near. I’m surprised I didn’t get my ass kicked during sparing. I was more focused on her than what I was doing. When I’d been standing around with some of the guys after training discussing going to the gym, I hadn’t even noticed that Avery and the others had shown up. I was too busy trying to calm myself down after one of the younger warriors that were still on the field had made a comment about wondering what Meg’s opinion was about per-mate sex was, because he’d like to make sure she got a lot of practise. I watched as Meg left the field. When I went to follow, I found that something was stuck to my side. That is when I realized who was there. I growl get off, Avery jumps back a bit and I take off after Meg. “Not going to the gym
Heather POVI was standing beside the door of the dining room scanning it, looking for April and Meg. I spotted April over near the line for the buffet and I made my way over to her. “Meg not here yet?” I asked.“No. I thought she would be.”“Is there any way that we would be able to take lunch with us? I just want to get away from here for awhile before Reed and Lucas piss me off again.”“Yeah, what is up with you three? The guys never go to that end of the field so they can avoid the Groomed Hunters.”“I will tell you and Meg as soon as we’re at my Grandma’s. There’s Meg now. If you can look into getting us a lunch packed, I’ll fill her in on the plan. Link me to let me know what you find out.”“I’ll go see what I can do.”April headed for the kitchen door while I made my way around the room to Meg. “Hey, April just left to see if there is any way to get some lunch packed up so we can take it with us and eat at my Grandma’s. I need to get out of here before the twins show up.”“That
Heather POV When we arrived at the house, Meg and April grabbed the food while I unlocked the door. None of us said anything as we unpacked and reheated our lunch. Grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup, some really good comfort food. I need it right now. April takes a bite of her sandwich and swallows and says “So who is going first or should I just ask questions and you two answer?” Meg turns towards me. “Can you go first? I’m still trying to get my thoughts in order.” I proceed to tell them about watching the movie the night before with Reed and Lucas. How I thought things were good. Then how they ignored me at breakfast and seemed upset with me, but I had no idea why. They then had the nerve to check out my ass. They then let their comments slip through the mind link to me. “And you haven’t talked to them yet?”April asked. “No. I was pissed. I spent all morning thinking that I did something wrong only to find out they just needed to stand back far enough to get a good look
Lucas POVAs the door closed behind my uncle and cousin, I turned and my eyes met my Dad’s, “Dad, did you, Uncle Aaron or even Mack have it as bad as Quinn is right now? I know you guys have always told us that it would be more intense for us because of our ranks, but what Quinn is going through seems worse than what you guys described.”“No it wasn’t. We are not sure what’s going on. Your Mom thinks it could be related to the curse that is on our bloodline, which is why it is affecting Quinn too. She’s doing some research.” Dad leaned back in the chair, put his legs out in front of him and crossed his ankles. “Ok what was it you guys wanted to talk about?”We both looked at Dad and said “Heather.”Dad sighs as he leans forward, puts his head into his hands and points at me. “You start.”“Ok here it goes. Both Reed and I have feelings for her that neither of us have felt towards other girls before, and nothing this strong. We don’t feel any jealousy towards each other; we have a very
Heather POV “After you fell asleep you laid down between us. Your legs were right there in front of me across my lap. It took so much control not to touch them. By the time the movie was over, I had my hands sitting on you right about where this one is now. I kept telling myself that it was to make sure you didn’t fall off the couch, but that wasn’t it. I can admit it.” Lucas says with a husky voice. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, opened my eyes and looked at Reed. “What about you?” Reed raised his hand cupping my neck then lightly glided his fingers across my jaw down my throat. “I’ve got a thing for breasts.” When did his voice get that breathy? He continued moving his hand down, tracing the top of my right breast. Oh, there are more of those shivers. Now he is going down into the dip of my cleavage, then back up my left breast. They are making it very difficult to focus. I close my eyes, take deep breaths, trying to get myself back under control. I should tell them to stop
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.”
