Lacy Seeing Double by Jana Leigh

their paws and the wolves were on the ground. One of the wolves got right up and began to circle Shawn. She could tell them apart, even in their bear form.
    Sevi was taking care of the one who remained on the ground. Although he still fought, Sevi easily took care of him.
    Shawn had a little more difficulty. His wolf was not going down without a fight. Shawn growled when the wolf bit his hind leg and refused to let go. He tried to turn around but the wolf kept behind him. Rolling over, he flipped the wolf through the air. The sudden movement made him release Shawn"s hind leg. Then Shawn was pissed.
    He ran for the wolf and drug his huge paw down its back. Lacy grimaced a little, that had to hurt, she thought. Then looked back at Sevi, who finished with the wolf and threw the dead shifter to the side before sitting down and licking his paws, watching his brother.
    Shawn took the shifter"s neck in his mouth and bit down. Lacy could hear the crunch from across the lawn. He then stepped back and growled making sure the wolf was not going to move again. He must have been satisfied because he turned and went to his brother.
    Lacy"s father raised his hands and pushed out the spell further, before saying. “They have all left. The one who wanted to be noticed is long gone. I don"t think we have heard the last of him.”
    Lacy shivered and then waited for her mates to shift and come back to her. Gloriously naked, they stalked to her and grabbed her. Shawn buried his face in her neck and she cried. She sobbed against him for a few moments before she felt him shift sideways and hand her over to Sevi who did the same thing. Both of them muttering over and over that they were fine.
    Her parents came back into the room and silently waited until she had gotten herself under control. It was surprising to her how quickly she had come to care and love these men. She would not be able to live without them.
    “Lacy, we have to talk.” He mother said quietly. She released her mate"s neck, stepped back, and nodded. Wiping the tears from her eyes, she waited until her mates dressed and then turned back to her parents.
    “I know.” She said quietly.
    “We can"t stay here. Even with all of our protections, if they come back with more people we will be a sitting duck. It would be best if we gathered our stuff together and got out of here. We have a plan; we will be driving back, so it will give us time to get people in place. They won"t be looking for us to drive.” Her father said.
    Shawn and Sevi nodded and then looked at Lacy. She was biting her lip looking worried.
    “What, sweetheart? Sevi asked.
    “I don"t have anything; all my clothes and stuff are at my apartment. All I have is the few outfits that I have here and my purse.” She said.
    “Don"t worry, baby, as soon as all of this is taken care of we can get you what you need.
    We can"t risk you going back. They may be watching that place too.” Shawn said and kissed her head.
    She sobbed a little again and then nodded. She knew it was too dangerous to go home, but there were things there she wanted. Including her spell diary. It was where she wrote all of her spells, how they could be changed to fit a person"s needs. It had taken her whole life to write those down. It was not something she wanted to leave behind. If someone found it, they could use it for evil.
    “My spell book.” She whispered and her mother slapped her hand against her forehead.
    “Well shit.” Her father said and then looked around the room. “We have to stop and grab it. Nothing else, just the book.”
    Her mates nodded and Shawn said, “What does it look like? I will grab it.” Lacy explained where it was hidden and they all quickly gathered their things and got into two separate cars. Her mother hugged Peter and gave him the talisman that would show the rest of the coven that he was now the leader. Usually it was a formal ceremony but they did not have the time. They hoped that they would be able to
