"Are you really going camping with Mark?" Scarlett asks as soon as I walk through the door.

I nearly drop my purse.

"How do you know about that?"

Scarlett just grins.

"Stacey."

"Of course."

"Apparently the whole town knows by now."

I groan.

"I haven't even gone yet."

"Doesn't matter," she laughs. "Small towns celebrate plans almost as much as they celebrate weddings."

"Um, yeah. I am. I love camping but I do not know the area well yet so Mark offered to show me some camping spots." I offer.

  • The Heir's Child   Preparations

    "A werewolf followed you all of the way back?" She asks once again.As soon as I got back from my run, I found her rocking Amaani as she watched out of the window, waiting for me. When she sees me racing towards the front steps, she lets out a visible breath of relief before coming out to meet me.The she wolf immediately darts off towards her pup once she sees tht it is safe again. I know that she sensed the danger when we were in the woods so now she is not going to be able to rest until she sees that her pup is still safe. I immediately shifted back before rushing over to see Amaani with my own eyes. I know that she is more than okay with Raven but I also know that just like the she wolf, I have to see her up close.I grabbed Amaani and held her close so I could smell her before walking into my room to put on some new clothes. Once I walked back out, I told Raven everything that happened while we were out for our run."You did not recognize his scent at all?" She asks me."I have

  • The Heir's Child   Accidental Contact

    After what feels like an eternity, she finally moves closer.I keep my belly exposed as she cautiously approaches. It takes everything in me not to move when her nose comes within inches of my neck.Finally, she begins sniffing me. I fight against every instinct telling me to get up and defend myself. Each movement she makes puts me on edge, but I force myself to remain still. I have to trust her just as I'm asking her to trust me.As she continues investigating my scent, the fur along her back gradually settles. She still seems confused, but the fear is beginning to fade. After a few more moments, she sits back on her haunches, her tail giving a tentative wag.I think that's about as good a reaction as I could have hoped for.Slowly, I roll back onto my paws and approach her. I keep my movements careful, making sure not to push my luck by getting too close to her pup. Instead, I turn and take off in the opposite direction, heading into the trees.Running in wolf form is so different

  • The Heir's Child   Transformation

    While Raven is making her run, I settle onto the ground and try to draw my familiar closer. She tends to wait until I’m not looking directly at her, so I make sure my back is turned toward the woods as I reach out to the Earth with my mind.The moment I establish that connection, I realize she has already started making her way toward me. I can feel each step as she approaches from behind before she finally lowers herself onto the grass.My smile grows as I feel more connected to her than ever. With my connection to the Earth magnifying everything around me, I can make out her heartbeat and even the steady rhythm of each breath. Before long, my breathing falls into sync with hers, and we are both lying peacefully on the grass.I don’t even hear Raven returning at first. Instead, I feel her through my connection to the Earth. I can sense every step she takes and each stick she jumps over as she makes her way back toward the yard.When she crashes through the undergrowth, my eyes snap o

  • The Heir's Child   Training and Teasing

    “What was that yesterday with Mark?” Raven asks as we begin our stretches the next morning.“It was nothing. He was asking how I knew all those self-defense moves, so I told him a little bit about pack life. Just enough for him to know that my parents started teaching me martial arts when I was young,” I hurriedly explain, especially after seeing the look on her face.This isn't the first time I've found myself getting a little too comfortable around Mark. It's much easier than it should be to let my guard down with him. There have been plenty of moments when I've nearly slipped up, but yesterday wasn't one of them.“So, you just made it sound like you're some freakishly talented martial artist?” she asks.“Well... yes,” I say with a shrug.She studies my face for a moment before bursting into laughter.What's so funny about that? It's a perfectly plausible explanation, especially considering what he saw.“You do realize no human could have done what you did so soon after giving birth

  • The Heir's Child   Training Explanations

    “So, where did you learn self-defense like that?” Mark asks after we've been sitting on the couch for a few minutes.How am I supposed to answer that one?I don't think telling him that I've spent most of my life training with a pack of werewolves from sunup to sundown is going to go over particularly well. I can't exactly explain how advanced my training is compared to what most humans would consider normal. There's simply too much for him to understand, and even more that I can't tell him.Instead, I'm going to have to come up with a simple explanation. Something believable enough to keep him from asking too many questions.Thankfully, he doesn't know much about my childhood, so I have a little room to work with.“My parents taught me self-defense. From the time I was little, they thought it was something I should know. Sometimes I think I was learning kicks before I was even fully walking,” I say with a slight chuckle.He frowns a little as he listens to me describe growing up with

  • The Heir's Child   Training Oops

    From the very first step, running feels even better than I remember.The stretch in my legs, the steady rhythm of my feet hitting the ground, and the blood pumping through my entire body give me a rush unlike anything I've felt in months. It's almost a natural high, and I can't stop the smile spreading across my face as I make my way toward the treeline.With a small jump over a fallen log that I absolutely could have run around, I enter the forest.This is exactly what I needed.Weaving between the trees, jumping over fallen branches, and ducking beneath others wakes me up in a way I haven't experienced in months. There's something freeing about being out here, surrounded by the trees, with nothing demanding my attention for a little while.As my adrenaline builds, I find myself picking up speed. Before long, I'm running faster than I originally intended.I might be a werewolf, but I did just have a baby a few days ago. Even though my body has healed remarkably quickly, I haven't exe

  • The Heir's Child   Flashes

    Flashes.That was all I had.Flashes of light.Flashes of voices.Flashes of movement just beyond my reach.Every time I tried to grasp one of the memories, it slipped away like water through my fingers.My head pounded.It felt as though someone had taken a hammer to my skull and then left the pie

  • The Heir's Child   Future plans

    Troy looked far too pleased with himself as we sat around sipping our drinks and talking about all the trouble we'd inevitably get into at college.I still couldn't believe everyone had decided to go.When Lyall and I first made our plans, I'd imagined the two of us facing a new world together. Som

  • The Heir's Child   College Plans

    "On a more serious note," Mel said, lifting his empty glass, "one of us has to go get the next round, don't we?"A collective groan went around the table.We all laughed at Mel's expression.His family was ridiculously wealthy. Not spoiled exactly, but definitely accustomed to convenience. If there

  • The Heir's Child   Drugs?

    "What kind of drug could affect us that way?" I asked my mother.Tonight was supposed to be a celebration. It was my birthday, Lyall's birthday, and our entire friend group had plans to spend the night partying before our lives changed forever.Instead, my parents were warning me about a dangerous
