Three Fated Hearts

Chapter 32

~Tia~

This day has been crazy, and it isn’t letting up. There has been one crazy thing after another since I found out I was mated to the twins. Maybe this is a sign that this pairing is not the best idea. I push that thought aside and figure the best thing, for now, is to find out the truth; what’s really going on.

“What is she to you?” Landon and Lincoln look at each other, but before they can start to mindlink, I let a growl rip through me. I immediately get four eyes on me, and I sit up straight on the couch. “I’m not interested in bulls**t, nor do I plan to sit here while you two have a conversation amongst yourselves. I want to know…..what is she to you?”

Lincoln clears his throat. “She is nothing to us, I swear.” Landon nods his head vigorously, and I lean back with my arms crossed, waiting for more.

“She is Alpha Brenner’s daughter and she did express her interest when we were staying at the Moonlight Pack.”

“We never reciprocated her interest. I will admit that she did turn up in my bed one night, but I quickly kicked her out.”

“She did that to you too, Linc?” Landon shakes his head. “She isn’t a good person on the inside. That is one of the biggest reasons why we weren’t interested. That and the fact that she isn’t our fated mate.” I guess that isn’t hard to believe. The twins are extremely attractive, and they are future Alphas. It wouldn’t take much for a she-wolf to be interested in them and want more than being acquaintances.

“I know she’s here at your mother’s request. I’d imagine the plan is to have her capture one of your interests so I can be pushed to the side.” I stand up and start to pace in front of the couch. “This is all too much. As it is I have to deal with my dad who has never wanted me, my sisters who hate me, your mom who is determined to get rid of me, and anyone else in this pack that feels some sort of way about

me. It’s all too much.” I flop on the couch and throw my arm across my eyes. I’m trying to keep the tears from spilling down my face. “I can’t stay here,” I whisper.

“No, love….”

“Don’t say that…..”

I can feel the body heat from the twins intensify as they move closer to me. They are kneeling on the floor, hoving over me. I shake my head and try to push myself into the couch. “Don’t touch me. Just…..please leave me alone.” I hear them sigh, but they respect my wishes, and I listen to their feet retreat. I wait a few minutes before uncovering my eyes. I’m, indeed, in a now empty office. I sit up and run a hand over my face. I need to see my mom.

~Lincoln~

F**K! F**K! F**K!! I’m in Landon’s room, pacing back and forth. “She can’t leave us, Landon. I don’t think I could survive without her by my side.” I can feel the panic and fear rise up, and I know that part of those feelings are from Landon.

“We will figure it out; we will get her to stay.”

“How? How do you suppose we pull that off?” Landon is seated in his chair with his head in his hands.

“I don’t know,” he replies with a muffled voice. “I don’t know how, but we have to figure it out. I know that we won’t be able to be without each other, but…..”

“But this is a lot to ask her to deal with. We asked her to come back home and told her that we would take care of her and keep her safe. We told Tia that we would make sure she is happy and taken care of. Now we are asking her to stay in a pack where there was animosity toward her in the first place.

Add in our mom, her dad, sisters, and Jenna……what can we say to that? I’m not surprised that she wants to leave.” A strangled cry comes from Landon.

A knock on the door interrupts us. Landon welcomes them in; I’m sure hoping that it’s Tia. Mom is standing in the doorway, sweeping her eyes from one end of the room to the other. “I see you two are alone; that’s good. I need you two to help Jenna get acclimated to the pack. I already showed her to her room, across from yours. She will be here for a while, and I want her to be comfortable.”

“What the f**k is your problem?” Landon springs from the chair and is standing a few feet in front of mom. She looks shocked at his reaction, but she shouldn’t be. “Why can’t you just stay out of things; leave us alone? Why do you think you have a right to interfere in our lives?” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I have no idea what you mean. Jenna called me to a if she could stay here for a while and I agreed. Do you two honestly think I would do something so underhanded?”

“Yes, mom, yes we do,” I chime in, moving next to Landon. “You have been against this pairing from the start. You have made you position extremely clear. Just know this….” I take a few steps closer to mom so that we are inches away from each other. “If Tia leaves this pack because of all that you have done, we will NEVER forgive you. We will never speak to you again; you will no longer be our mother.” Mom places a hand on her chest as if she was just struck.

“Lincoln, how could you say that?” I let a low growl escape.

“I meant everything I said.” I step back and slam the door shut in my mom’s face.
