The next morning Heather POV “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s get this show on the road.” I let out a long groan that sent pain shooting through my brain and buried my head under my pillow as Dawn barged into my room screaming about road shows and opening the curtains. If I had the energy, I’d throw the extra pillow at her. “Go away” is all I can manage to get out before the blankets are pulled off me and someone is forcing me to sit up. “Come on let’s get into the shower. That should help a little, maybe.” The next thing I know, I’m hit with a blast of cold water, my eyes spring open and Dawn is walking out the door telling me I have fifteen minutes to shower, get dressed and get down to breakfast or she’s coming back and I won’t like the consequences. I realize that I’m still in my bathing suit and t-shirt from yesterday, I strip them off and leave them on the bottom of the shower while I finish washing. I step out of the shower, dry off, and head back to my room to get dress
Heather POV Before I even get to the kitchen, I catch a whiff of bacon, waffles and the glazed berries that have been made for breakfast. I’m starting to think they’re trying to convince me to stay by bribing me with my favourite foods. So not fair. I made my way over to the table and sat down at my usual spot at the same end of the table as Luna Rene, across from Dawn. Luna Rene starts to say something but is cut off by a very loud entrance of the guys as they race to the table. Zane, who is still not recovering from last night, makes it to the table first. He takes the chair beside Dawn at the other end of the table where Alpha Sean is sitting. We all look at him funny, since that is the chair that Jacob normally uses. Zane looks at us all, shrugs his shoulders and says “What? He lost. It just pushes him to do better next time.” Jacob made his way over to the seat beside me and glared at Zane. “Well if someone had been able to get himself into his bed on his own last night, maybe h
Luna Rene POV I watched Jacob run off across the street towards Zane, probably wanting to back up to deal with the gang of girls that he needed to break up. “So, he’s looking for advice about women, is he?” My husband pulls me closer and leans his forehead against mine. “Yeah, he was wondering if there was a way he would be able to tell if someone was his mate before they both turn eighteen.” I lean back and look at the group of kids that are gathered in front of the house and ask “You’re thinking Heather, right?” Sean turns around, steps up on to the step I’m on and puts his arm round me and pulls me into his side and says, “Yeah, I think so. I’ve been noticing little things that he seems to do differently around her and how he watches her.” “Well, it might be a good thing that she is moving in with Lyla. It will give them time apart until she turns eighteen. Your daughter, on the other hand, will still be here, and if what I saw at breakfast keeps going. It will get interesting
Heather POV Most of the car ride so far had been listening to Dawn and Zane bicker about anything they could think of. They had always done things like this before but never to this extent. It was like they were trying to get the other so pissed off that they would never speak to them again. I guess Jacob had finally had enough after about an hour and a half, because he told Zane to pull over at the next picnic area. I think he just wanted to get out of the vehicle before he beat the crap out of Zane. Luna Rene had packed the group of us a lunch since there were very few places to stop for food along our route. Both packs, the Blue Ridge Pack and the Twin Moon Pack, were located in fairly heavily forested, isolated areas of northern Ontario. There are not many cities, towns or even villages up here and the ones that are here have a lot of space between them. It can be a problem sometimes, but for the most part, us wolves, we like it this way. It gives us the space that we need to ru
Jacob POV While we wait for the girls to come back from the washroom, Zane and I get a table set up for lunch. I lay the table cloth that my Mom packed out across the table thinking this was a good time to ask. “Hey man, what the hell has gotten into you? Before we left, you couldn’t take your eyes off my sister. Now it sounds as if all you want to do is piss her off. The two of you haven’t stopped bickering since we left?” “I know, but it’s safer than the other thoughts that I’m trying not to let go through my head.” “What happened? You were fine all day out at the lake, for what I can remember. There was none of these lost, googly eye, confused looks going on. Normally I wouldn’t ask, but man, you are off your game today and it is my sister. ” “She tripped on the leg of the chair.” “You are going to need to use a few more words than that.” “What do I normally do when Dawn trips over her feet?” “You and/or I either watch her go down and laugh at her or grab hold of her so she
Heather POV I was around 4:30pm when we finally arrived at my Grandmother’s. The rest of the ride had been bicker free. I had called her when we were about ten minutes away, so when we arrived, Alpha Shane, Luna Mona and their twin boys, Reed and Lucas, were there to greet us. I know I’m short compared to most female wolves, and with Jacob and Zane being a foot taller than me, I thought I had gotten used to feeling small, but Alpha Shane makes me feel tiny. The man stands at least 6’7”, and his shoulders are as wide as I am tall. Ok, I could be exaggerating, but that’s what it looks like from my point of view. Looking at his sons, they are well on their way to matching their father’s size. They are both already the same size as Jacob and Zane and they are only 15 years old. If this is the size that the males around here are, I’m going to be spending most of my time trying not to get stepped on. Even Luna Mona is close to 6’ tall. While the guys unload my stuff and take it to the roo
Jacob POV after unloading I’m not sure how the four of us ended up unloading the SUV while everyone else is sitting out back. At least with four of us, it didn’t take long. As the twins come back out of the house after taking in the last of the boxes, one of them asks if we would want to stay for the party that is out at the lake tonight. Zane looks at me.”Sounds good, but I’m not dragging your drunken ass off the front yawn again.” “How much did you drink if he had to drag you home?” Asks one of them, I really should find a way to tell them apart. “Most definitely more than I should have. Is there any way to tell you two apart? Any hints at all?” I asked. “Yeah, think of us as right, Reed and left, Lucas.” “What?” “We are what people call mirror twins. We are mirror images of each other. I’m right handed, Lucas is left. My, what did that girl call it the other day? Oh yeah, my hot and sexy little dimple is on the right. Lucas’ is on the left, only his isn’t hot and sexy. That i
Heather POV So the plan is for Dawn and me to start unpacking some of my stuff while the guys go into town to drop off the truck, find out what rooms we will be staying in and pick up things Grandma asked for. The four of them are figuring on being back around 7:30 to get us. The first thing that Dawn starts unpacking is my clothes. “We can’t go to a party in these clothes. Let’s see what we can find.” She says as she starts dumping clothes onto the bed. By 7:00 we were able to get the clothes we weren’t wearing put away, but that was about it when it came to unpacking. Dawn had finally decided on a bright red tank top, forest green zippered hoodie and dark blue jean skirt that I would say is too short since it is mine and Dawn’s legs are longer. It will be interesting to see who freaks out first, Jacob or Zane. I have opted to go with a pair of black cut off jean shorts that are just above mid thigh, a light blue spaghetti strap tank and a thin, black, knit sweater. We have both gone
