Back at home, she races upstairs leaving me behind.I findher standing by the bed, eagerly waiting for me.
“Let’s go… morning’s wasting,” she says.
Sheriff races to the surface, but this time is different; Iknow my eyes have changed, but my top fangs have also descended.She looks atme wide-eyed, biting her lip in excitement.
“Come here.”
Suddenly, her eyes change color, and when she speaks, herfangs are visible also.
“No…youcome here.”
“Holy fuck, Casey!”
“What?”
I take her hand and pull her to the mirror.She stares ather reflection in shock.
“You can change at will, too.”
“No one could do that before?”
“Only the male alphas.”
“Okay, now I’m getting excited.I wonder what else I can do.”
Me, too.For the first time since I met her, sex is thefarthest thing from my mind.My appetite is for knowledge right now.
“Where the hell is that book?”
***Casey***
One year later
I shoot Ethan a murderous glare as he walks into thebedroom.He stops in his tracks, eyes wide in surprise.
Whoa… what didIdo?
Your children have been driving me crazy all day.
Oh, now they’remychildren?
Of course.My children are angels.When they act likethis, they’re yours.
He joins me on the bed, placing his palm on my humongousbelly.“What’s going on?”
“EJ and Luke have been fighting all day about who yourfavorite is.EJ insists it’s him because he has your name, and Luke thinks it’sKatie because she’s the only girl.”
This is the way it’s been for the last three months.Themoment I found out I was pregnant, I started talking to them.At the latterpart of my sixth month, they started talking back.Actually, I think I’m justreading their minds, and they’re reading each others.Ethan talks to them everyday, too.By touching my belly, he’s able to read their minds also.I’m justglad they can’t read ours.We’ve had to be very careful with our language andhave been using our telepathic abilities more often than not.
“On top of that, I think EJ pushed Luke,” I add.
“You mean…pushed?”
“Yes.He told him to shut up, and Luke’s been quiet eversince.He hasn’t even answered me when I’ve spoken to him.”
He moves his hand to the bottom-left side of my belly andleans in close.
“Luke, talk to me.”
