Meg POV When we got back I left April and Heather to go and talk with my Mom. I needed to get advice on dealing with Quinn. I wanted to give in to the feelings that I was having, but I’m scared and the stronger they get the more scared I am. I don’t know what scares me more the thought that we could ruin our friendship or I could end up like my Mom and be pregnant before I’m eighteen. Walking into the apartment I find both of my parents sitting in the living room. I know Dad was already concerned and after what happened earlier with Avery, even more so now. I just don’t know if I can ask the questions that I want to in front of him. I don’t want him storming off to kill Quinn. “Hey, sweet pea, come join you Mom and I,” Dad says without turning around. I sit in the oversized chair pulling the blanket from the back to cover up with. “I’m not going to stay for the whole talk I just had a couple of questions.” “OK.” “Now I don’t want you to be embarrassed, but I need you to answer hone
Quinn POV Taking a deep breath to steady my nerves, I start to pour out my feelings “As I started to say in the hall it was both my wolf, whose name is Ash, by the way, and I that wanted to mark you. It was not my plan to earlier in the stairwell, and I know I shouldn’t have without talking to you first. But I was all worked up because one of the other warriors at training was talking about wanting to do stuff with you and there was no way I was going to let them think that they could have what was mine. Again I know that I can’t say that you are mine until you agree, but I couldn’t help it. So I did that thinking that they would back off.” I point to her neck. “But,” I watched as the smile fell from her face. She didn’t say anything just started wring her fingers together waiting for me to continue. “I have been fighting my feelings for you for a long time even before my wolf even showed up and I can’t do it anymore. I know I was wrong in marking you like I did and I’m sorry.” I wen
Quinn POV I watch as Meg runs out of the office leaving me staring a... mad? Pissed? Concerned Dad? I don’t know what Mac is feeling because the guy has got to have one of the best poker faces around. My Dad walks over to his desk and sits down. Mac slowly makes his way over and sits in one of the chairs in front of Dad’s desk. I don’t know what to do. Do I sit on the couch? Do I join them at the desk? Do I stay where I’m or should I run for the hills and hope Mac doesn’t catch me? I know Meg and I didn’t do anything wrong, so why do I feel like we did? Is it because it felt so good that it should be wrong? Mac points at me and then at the chair that is beside him. I cautiously walk over and take the seat that I was told to. “What did you do to make my daughter give you that?” Mac calmly asks. Knowing that I need to man up and face Mac I look him straight in the eye and answer him. “I told her how I felt about her and that I had been fighting the feeling for a while because I was sc
Quinn POVAfter taking care of Avery and her gang we finally got a chance to start the movie. That group just doesn’t know when to stop. Avery was pissed because I want nothing to do with her so they pick on poor Molly and made her cry. How low can you be? It may have seemed like overkill to have all of us, myself, Levi, the twins and our Dads, escort them out but we have all had enough of their shit. Their parents were called and they were banned from movie nights until further notice. I don’t think that it will do anything but we'll see.I sat with Meg in my lap for the whole first movie. We just sat and cuddled. No kissing, no grouping, just sweet gentle touches on the back of the hand or shoulder. It felt nice to not have to hide the fact that this is what I want to do. I don’t have to stop myself if I want to hold her hand or rest my head on her shoulder. Why did I fight this for so long? “Because you are dumb.” Ash suddenly says.“Yeah, you may be right on that.”“I am right.”
Quinn POV I followed Dad into Uncle Shane’s office and waited for Avery and her family to be called in. Avery is told to stand beside Addison, while their parents and Allison are instructed to stand by the back of the couch. Uncle Shane sits in his desk chair while Dad and Mac stand behind him on either side. The twins, Levi and I stand off to the side in front of the bookshelves. Uncle Shane stands, he is in full Alpha mode right now. “Dave, Angela, this is only going to be said once, you will not like the consequences if any incidents similar to what has already happened this week happen again. All three of your daughters have been involved in some form of bullying this week. Avery physically attacked Megan with claws which Meg doesn’t have yet, Allison verbally abused Molly, a ten-year-old who has already suffered enough trauma, and less than twenty minutes ago, Addison physically assaulted Heather. Do any of the three of you have anything to say that will come anywhere close to e
Quinn POVWhen I walked in and saw that Meg had been crying it was like a stab to the heart. Who had made her cry? Did my Mom say something? I knelt beside Meg and took her hands in mine. “Meg, why are you crying?” I looked at Mom trying to think of what she would have said to Meg to make her upset. Mom must have been able to read my expression because she raised her hands in surrender. Mom gets up and crosses the room to stand beside my Dad. “Your sister is on a date and Dad and I are going out for the evening.”The confused look on Dad’s face was priceless. “We are?”“We are.” Dad just nods in agreement. I chuckle at his goof expression. “So why don’t you and Meg either cook the pizza that is in the freezer or order one and spend the evening watching movies.” Mom then turns her gaze to Meg. “Just remember whatever you do be careful.”Meg takes a deep breath and nods her head. “OK, Sage. I understand.”Mom sends Meg a sweet smile hooks her arm in Dad’s and says. “Let go get some food
Sage POV Possible Trauma Triggers I couldn’t believe that Meg thought that I was going to be mad at her for acting on her feelings. If I did that I’d have to be upset with Quinn too. I have watched the two of them last few years, and all of us could tell that something was there and they were fighting it. What worried me when I opened the door to see Meg ready to run was the thought that Quinn had done something to scare her. It wouldn’t be the first time that one of the males in my family had turned cruel around the time of their first shift. When I first moved here after Aaron and I found out that we were mates I thought that I was getting away from family curses, apparently not. John and Ingrid, Aaron and Shane’s parents had explained about the curse that was supposedly on their family and how all the sets of twins that were born to the Alpha family all seemed to meet earlier deaths along with their mates. When I first got pregnant with Quinn I had been so scared. I knew that the
Quinn POVI sat Meg up on the counter and stepped between her thighs deepening the kiss. I have never considered myself a jealous guy but lately. When I saw Meg talking to Kevin it was like nothing I’d felt before. I knew she was showing him the hickey that I’d give her and I could hear the pride in her voice when she said the order was for us not just me. But I still had the urge to show my dominance and let a little of the aura that I have been gaining come out. I had never done that before. Like I told Meg, I keep having this feeling that someone is going to take her away from me.I feel Meg's fingers grip the hair at the back of my head. I slide my hands under the hem of her shirt and travel up her torso savouring the feel of the soft silky smooth skin under my fingertips. I cup both of her breasts in my hands. The size is just right for my large hands. I can feel the hard pebbles of her nipples through the lacy fabric of her bra. I feel Meg’s hands slide from my neck down my ches
