Heather POV The men came out of the den a little while later. Quinn walked over to me, picked me up in a big hug and whispered to me. “Thank you.” He set me down and hugged his Mom. “Let’s go home Mom and I’ll tell you what’s going on.” Aaron came over to me and hugged me also. “You are something else. If you are mated to my nephews, you are already on your way to being a great Luna.” He chuckled at the look of confusion and surprise on my face as he backed away from me. “Thank you.” Aaron, Sage and Quinn said good-bye. I figured that Grandma and Gavin would be ready to leave also. Boy was I wrong. We spent the next two hours discussing everything that had happened since I had arrived at Twin Moon. To say Grandma was upset would be a bit of an understatement. Once Grandma had been filled in on things, Reed asked the question that had been on my mind for awhile. “Mrs. Trench, is there a possibility that you and Heather are decedents of the woman from the story?” “There is. Like I t
Heather POV I make sure the place is locked up. It sounds weird for the werewolf to be worried about leaving the doors and windows unlocked in the middle of nowhere, but hey, things happen. I head for the shower figuring I need to get the smell of Lucas and Reed off of me if I have any chance of having a peaceful night’s sleep. I turn on the water while it is warming up, I grab out a towel and brush my hair. I put my clothes in the hamper after removing them. The warm water feels good on my body. The tension that had settled into my muscles throughout the night started to ease up. As I slid my hand up over my breast, the feeling of Reed’s mouth on it came to mind. I got a very naughty idea in my head. I know I shouldn’t, but for some reason nothing my brain is coming up with is talking me out of it. “Reed, Lucas?” I linked them not enough to wake them if they are sleeping. I quickly get an answer from both of them. “Heather is something wrong?” asks Reed. “No, I was just wondering i
Lucas POV Holy Fuck!!! What did we just do? There is only one thing that is ever going to top that and that is to be the one to physically touch her and make her cum like that. I finish my shower, making sure to keep my mind blank. I dry off, linking Reed. I pulled on a pair of jogging pants, grabbed a couple of drinks out of my mini fridge I have here and sat on the couch that is in front of the fireplace to wait for Reed. Less than a minute later, there was a knock on the door and Reed walked in. I passed him a can as he sat. “Thanks.” He says as he opens the can. “Well that was something else, wasn’t it?” I stated, then took a sip. “I don’t think that I would have even been able to come close to thinking of that as a fantasy.” “Did you think that things were going to go that way when she linked us?” “Hell no. The first thing I thought was that she was in trouble. Then, when I realized she was fine, I thought she was going to give us sh*t for what happened in the stairwell.” “
Heather POV Reed and Lucas kept complaining about the girls getting worse at trying to get their attention since the start of the year as we made our way into the cafe. It got me thinking you hear all the time about how men are charged with sexual harassment or stalking when they try to get a woman’s attention, but when women do it and throw themselves at a guy most of the time, they are called sluts but not charged. I find it weird how the outlook towards the two genders can be so different even to this day. The boys calmed down a bit after we sat down. I relayed the message from Keegan to Reed and Lucas. At the end of lunch, I headed for the first of my afternoon classes. As I passed one of the washrooms I was grabbed and pulled inside where I came face to face with Sophie and four of her followers. Oh, aren’t I lucky? “What do you want now, Sophie? I have a class to get to. “What do I want? I told you last week what I wanted but you didn’t seem to listen. You were told to keep aw
Heather POV “I linked the boys when I arrived, asking them to pick up your homework for you.” Alpha Shane says as he unlocks the truck to open the door for me. I didn’t say anything as Alpha Shane drove me home. He got out of the truck with me and walked me to the door. Grandma was in the kitchen when I opened the door. “Heather, what’s wrong? Why are you home so early?” she asks as she wipes her hands on a dish towel while walking towards us. “Lyla, can I sit?” Alpha Shane asks, gesturing towards the kitchen chair. “I need to have a word with you. There was an incident at the school involving Heather and Alpha Rob’s daughter.” “Yes, of course, Shane have a seat. Would you like a coffee?” “That would be great, Lyla.” “I’ll make the coffee, Grandma, you sit with Alpha Shane so he can start telling you what happened.” I pulled out a chair and gestured for Grandma to take a seat. Grandma cocks her eyebrows. “This must be serious you just call him Alpha Shane.” I ignored Grandma’s s
Heather POVGrandma and I showed up at nine o’clock, just like she told Shane we would. We were met in the main lobby area by Mona and Sage. We followed them through the breezeway into the resident building up to the second floor and into one of the guest rooms that had been modified for us to use. The bed had been removed to make room for three large tables with chairs, a filing cabinet, a whiteboard and a cork board. By the fireplace there were two nice sized couches and two chairs. Along the wall beside the door was a mini fridge and the equipment needed to make tea and coffee. The walk-in closet had become a storage room that contained everything we could need, from dry easer markers and pens to file folders and sticky notes. It reminded me of the rooms you see in movies where task forces have set up their evidence boards. I guess, in a way, we are trying to solve a mystery, so why not treat it the same way?“So where do we start?” I asked, looking at the boxes neatly stacked at t
Heather POVMeg and I spent the rest of the day sorting the diaries into owners and by date. While the others sifted through the piles of documents that were everything from land deeds to recipes for burn ointment. Looking at the others, I think Meg and I got the easier of the two jobs. Just before four, there was another knock on the door. Meg went over to answer it. “Heather, I think it’s for you.” I went and stood in the doorway of the closet where I had been looking for a larger-sized sticky note pad, to see Reed and Lucas entering the room. “How do you know they are here for me? Their mother is here too.”Lucas walks straight at me, picks me up and carries me back into the closet. Reed follows, closing the door. “We are most defiantly here for you.” He says as I’m held between the two of them while they nuzzle into my neck.Reed starts placing kisses on my neck as he states. “I have wanted to do this all day. I thought I was going to lose it. The other girls were even worse today
Lucas POVI couldn’t tell if he was upset with us or if something else was wrong. We knew because of what he said to Heather he wasn’t upset with her, so I was ok with that. Dad could be as mad as he wanted to with me just as long as he is fine with Heather. Reed and I ran to our rooms. I showered quickly, put on some sweat pants and a t-shirt, gathered up a half load of laundry. I wasn’t leaving those jeans for Mom to find if she decided to do some washing. Reed and I mostly do our own laundry, but the odd time Mom will throw a load in for us. I stepped into the hall to see Reed with a half load of laundry also. We headed for the laundry room, throwing all the clothes in together and made our way to Dad’s office in silence. Reed knocked on the door and we waited for Dad to answer. I started to shift back and forth on my feet. I was getting real nervous now since Dad was making us wait. After about ten minutes, Dad opened the door and he looked even more upset now than he did when he
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.”
