Getting interrupted seems to be a common occurrence for this group. Might be a good thing with their age.
Heather POV I shouldn’t be letting them do this, that is the thought that goes through my head just before I hear throats being cleared. Oh no. Lucas and Reed quickly move away from me and help me sit up. I notice the scent of my arousal in the air. At the same time, I realize that it’s not just Shane and Mona that are in the room. This is not the first impression I wanted to give their grandparents. They’re going to think I’m like all the other girls that just want to be with an Alpha. I jumped to my feet and ran to my room, closing the door and quickly running into the shower to wash away the smell of my arousal. I’m really starting to think that it is a sign. How many times is it, now that we have been in situations like that and been interrupted? That was by far the most embarrassing of them all. I exit the shower, dry off, towel dry my hair and wrap the towel around my body and start to make my way over to the closet. I noticed Mona and the twins' Grandmother, I don’t even know h
Heather POV “I would like to talk with Reed and Lucas before we have supper, is that Ok?” “Sure Honey, whatever you need to feel better. I’ll send them up.” Mona says as she and Grandma head for the door. I start brushing my hair while I wait for the boys. There was a soft knock on my door as I climbed back onto the bed to sit with my back against the headboard. I call out for them to call in as I get comfy. They slowly enter, closing the door behind them and make their way over to the end of the bed. I motioned for them to take a seat on the bed. Once they were seated, I started. “I just want to make sure you guys understand that I was not embarrassed about what we were doing. It was the fact that I noticed that everyone could tell how much I was enjoying what we were doing. I was also worried that your grandparents would think I was no better than some of the other she wolves that try to get close to you because you are Alphas.” “Oh, Heather they would…” I put my hand to stop Re
Heather POV The smell of the apple crumble that Janice had made for dessert was making my mouth water as I made my way back to the apartment. As I exited the stairway I thought I heard arguing at the other end of the hall like last time when Meg and Quinn had argued. “I told you to stay away from me. How can you even think that I would want to see your fucking face after you f…” the rest of her words faded out as Meg lowered her voice. “Meg, I’m sorry I don’t know what got into me that night.” I heard Quinn respond. “YOU’RE SORRY! Is that all you have to say for yourself? Well FUCK YOU. At least I only have to smell your disgusting scent around here for another week, then you’ll be gone and I will make dam sure I’m not here when you come back.” With that I heard a door slam followed by a yell of frustration and what sounded like someone I’m guessing Quinn punching a wall. I quickly made my way back to the apartment before someone noticed that I had just overheard that fight. I walk
Heather POV We all just sat there in silence digesting what we had just been told when a thought popped into my head. “Reed, what was it you called me?” I asked, gesturing towards my phone. He gave me a look of confusion while shaking his head. “I honestly do not know. I don’t even remember saying it.” I turned to Lucas. “And you?” “The same goes for me. I don’t remember saying it.” He says, looking just as confused as Reed. I felt a tap on my shoulder so I turned to face Grandpa. “Reed called you M’eudail, which means Darling, and Lucas called you Mo leannan, which means My Sweetheart.” I stood up and scanned my gaze over everyone in the room. “If you would all please excuse me, but this is a lot of information to take in. It has also been a very long and, for lack of a better word, exciting weekend. It was very nice to meet you both and hope to see you again.” I said as I gave Grandma and Grandpa each a quick hug. I’m so lost right now. I know all this stuff has something to d
Mona POV “What I know is that her father was born and raised in the Blue Ridge pack as well as his parents. Alpha Sean said that both his and Heather’s bloodlines had been the Alpha and Beta lines since the pack came over from Southern England. It’s her Mom’s side that is what I’m trying to find out more about. What she said about having feelings about things that were going to happen and what she needed to do about them started me thinking, but the picture that Reed took of her eyes.” I pulled a picture out of one of the files that I had printed after I had Reed send me a copy of it. “Oh my Goddess. I have seen eyes like that before. How could I not have seen the resemblance? She is Leanne’s girl.” Ingrid says, looking at John for conformation. “Mom, what are you talking about when you have seen eyes like that before?” Shane asks. “It would have happened when you were sixteen, so that would have made Aaron fourteen. You were both still in the human school since the construction of
Heather POV I’m lying in the sun in a large field of wild flowers listening to the birds chirping when the most amazing smells reach me on the breeze. It’s the smell of a wood burning fire, you know, that smell that you get from the fireplace that makes you feel safe and warm, combined with the fresh smell of the forest after a thunderstorm when everything smells clean and new. I sat up to see where the smells were coming from when I could see two beautiful black wolves running along the edge of the field. They are some of the largest wolves I've ever seen. People in the area have always talked about how large the wolves around here are, but these two seem even bigger. They are the most gorgeous creatures I have ever seen. Their fur is so black that it almost looks blue like the midnight sky. I watch them running and playing for awhile until the wind changes. They suddenly stop raising their heads and sniffing the air. They turn towards me and just stare before I can even make sense
Heather POV Reed steps up behind me, leaning down, placing a hand on the counter on each side of me, caging me in as he whispers in my ear. “We have already told you what we have had to do in the past to keep ourselves under control around you. I can't change how my body reacts to yours no matter how much I want to, if only to respect your wishes. That is not going to change overnight. ” Reed moves one of his hands and Lucas replaces it with one of his to lean in towards my other ear to say. “And the fact that we woke up next to you with that dream going through our heads did not help in any way.” He huskily says. “Both of you please stop. Get breakfast, sit down and while you eat you can write down a bit of what happened in the dream you had. I don’t need to know all the details, just where you were, who was with you, what was talked about and basic feels such as mad, happy, scared. Ok.” I said, pointing to the paper and pens that I had left on the breakfast bar for them. “I like
Heather POV That was so unfair. I had been able to get myself under control, so the guys wouldn’t know how much they were affecting me. It was just as hard for me to cool things off as it was for them and I had double to contend with. It was so hard not to react when they caged me between them. All I wanted to do was lean into them and feel their bodies against mine. Now here I am sitting in my room thinking about doing something that I have never even thought about doing before. Should I do something similar to what they were hinting at and take care of this frustrated feeling that they cause inside of me? No I can’t. I have to avoid doing that if I give in then and find out how that feels, then it could cause me to crave their touch more just to have that feeling. No, I have to stay strong. Making up my mind on that, I got up from sitting on my bed ready to head back down. I could hear Mona as I reached the bottom of the stairs. It sounded as if they were talking about what the guys
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.”
