Lacy Seeing Double by Jana Leigh Page A

return in the near future and have that ceremony. They had a big fight ahead of them, and who knew how it was going to turn out.
    Lacy and her mates piled in their truck and followed behind her parents as they wove their way back to her apartment. She felt a tingling up her spine. Something was waiting for them, something, or someone.
    They turned the corner and entered the street where her apartment was located. She had been so proud when she moved out of her parent"s house. She felt like it was finally time for her to start her life, how wrong she had been. Since meeting her mates, she now knew what she had been waiting for.
    Looking around she felt a presence. It was similar to the one that had been at her parents" house. She opened her mouth to tell her mates when Shawn slammed on the brakes. Ahead of them stood a man in the road. They could see him over her parent"s car. He was tall and lean, his face shadowed by the hat he wore. And the long coat he had on made him seem so much bigger than he was.
    He raised his hand, waved before turning and walking across the street, and disappeared in the shadows. When Shawn turned the truck to use his headlights to see where he went, the man had disappeared.
    “Who the fuck was that?” Sevi growled.
    Lacy shook her head, she had no clue, and she really did not want to find out. Shawn said quickly, “Sev, get the book.”
    His brother nodded and jumped from the car. Her phone vibrated in her purse and she pulled it out. Her mother was calling.
    “Yeah, mom?” She said.
    “That was him, the one looking for you. We need to get out of here, now.” She said urgently.
    Sevi ran back down to the truck and jumped in the passenger"s seat. “Go, I got it, and a little note that was left on the door.”
    Lacy took her book and hugged it to her chest. Thank goodness, no one had found it.
    “What does it say?” she whispered.
    “Lacy, sorry to have to miss our appointment. I am sure that our paths are destined to meet in the future, until then. M” Sevi read and then crumpled the paper and threw it on the floor and wrapped his arms around her. “You apartment was broken into. I am sorry, sweetheart. Whoever it was wasn"t looking for anything, they just wanted to destroy everything. I couldn"t tell if anything could be salvaged.” Lacy frowned and then got pissed. “Fuckers.” She said.
    Sevi looked at her in surprise. He thought she would start crying, he was wrong. “If they ruined my new Jimmy Cho"s they are dead men walking.” She grumbled.
    Shawn looked at his brother confused and then said, “Honey, was Jimmy in the apartment?”
    Lacy looked at them with an incredulous look on her face. “Jimmy Cho"s as in the best shoes ever!”
    Her men laughed and Sevi wrapped his arms back around her. “I will buy you another pair.”
    “You don"t understand. They are expensive. I saved for months for those shoes. It was the first thing that I bought with my profits!” She yelled.
    “Sorry, honey. But you don"t have to worry though. We have plenty of money to take care of you.” Shawn said and patted her leg. “We never got to talk about that. Trust me; we own part of the store.”
    Lacy muttered and looked at her mates. “I don"t care about money; it was the thought of them. Something I did.”
    The men looked confused and just agreed with her as she ranted on about the shoes.
    They knew women"s likes and dislikes in bed, but obviously, they needed a little more work on the emotional side. Shoes? Really?

Chapter 13
    The Master was pissed. He had to leave the witch"s house before he was ready to; he miscalculated how many shifters he need. He wanted his mate, but her father had hidden his powers. He should have realized who he was dealing with. The next time he was not going to underestimate them. Damnit.
    But he did leave her a little remembrance. Something to let her know that he was not giving up. He hoped that she would be ready for him, because the next time they met, he
