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
Possible Truama Triggers Reed POV Shit, shit, shit I can’t believe Lucas and I just growled at Dad. He is going to kick our asses just to prove he can. I quickly grab the tightest pair of jeans I own. It may hurt like hell if I start to get hard, but it will be harder to see. I ran back into my closet and grabbed a long baggie tee. Maybe that will help hide things too. I meet up with Lucas in the hall as he exits his room. I noticed he had opted for a similar wardrobe change, as did me. The look on his face tells me he is as concerned about what Dad is going to do to us as I am. Still feeling ashamed of growling at Dad, Lucas and I walked back into the den with our heads down. Mom and Dad are sitting in the chairs across from the couch that Heather is sitting in the middle of. Lucas heads to the left of Heather while I take the position on the right. We do tend to do that a lot of the time and not on purpose. When I finally get the courage to look up at Mom and Dad, they both have go
Possible Trauma Triggers Heather POV Grandma is back today. I have packed up my stuff. Reed has loaded it into the car for me. Shane and Mona told Grandma and Gavin that they would take me home since they had such a long drive already today to get home. For the last few days, things have been going pretty well. There had not been any weird dreams, no jealous outbursts and no heavy make-out sessions. Now was the hardest. I was standing in my room checking to make sure I had everything when Reed and Lucas walked in. There seems to be something off about them. Reed was fine fifteen minutes ago when he took my bags down. I watch as Lucas closes and locks the bedroom door. "Lucas, what are you doing? Why did you lock the door?" He didn't answer me. He just stares, like he's not sure how to answer the question or even that I said anything. Without saying anything, Reed stalks across the room, wraps his arms around my waist, picks me up and carries me to my bed. He lays me down, across i
Mona POV After the kids leave, I put my arms around Shane’s neck, pulling him down for a kiss. “That was quick thinking.” “I have no idea what you are talking about women.” I cocked an eyebrow at him. “You’re going to have me believe that you are that desperate for that recipe?” “Well duh it’s not like I’m some smart Alpha or anything that would know that the tension needed to be broken or something like that. Now am I?” He says sarcastically, rolling his eyes at me. Laughing, I pulled him down for another kiss. “I love you, you know that.” “How could you not? Look at all this.” He says as he pulls me in tighter. “Come on let’s get Heather home to her Grandmother.” I said, chuckling. I grabbed Shane’s hand and led him out the door. Shane stops just before we step into the hall. “I agree with the boys. I don’t want her to leave either.” He says with his voice filled with emotion. "Our boys are not the only ones that have grown attached to her quickly." I don't know what to mak
