Three Fated Hearts: Things Change

~Adela~Has it been hours or days? When was the last time I ate? Is Aida still missing? Am I back in my cell? “WHERE IS SHE?!” I focus on the swoosh in the air, knowing that means that my body is about to be racked with pain. No matter how prepared I am for the hit, my body shakes when it makes contact. I grit my teeth and bite the inside of my cheek to keep the sound from escaping. I won’t give them the satisfaction of hearing me scream.“Keep at her! She will confess at some point. There’s no way her sister is gone, and she knows nothing.” I hear footsteps retreating, and a door closes. The swooshes continue, followed by a sharp pain. I just try to focus on anything and everything that isn’t tied to the pain I’m feeling right now.How did I get to this place? How did my world blow up the way it has? I lost my pack, my dad, and my sister. Goddess, I lost my sister in more ways than one. Where is Aida? Why did she leave me? I don’t know what’s left for me or if anything will get bette

~Lynn~I walk up the stairs, stopping outside of the Alpha’s office. I peek in, but the office is empty. I move next door and peek into the Luna office, only to find it empty. I’m not surprised the rooms are empty, but now I have to figure out where everyone is. “Beta?” I turn and notice a warrior behind me. I nod and wait for them to continue. “There was a call for you earlier. I took a message.” He hands me a piece of paper which I take and send him on his way.I abandon my plan to find my bestie and Alphas and make my way to my own office. I sit at my desk and dial the number from the paper, placing the call on speaker. I shuffle through some folders that were left on my desk. I love being Beta, but paperwork sucks! I didn’t even like doing assignments in school. If it hadn’t been for Tia pushing me, I might not have even graduated, if I’m being honest. “Gold Heart Pack. You’ve reached the castle. How can I direct your call?”Shit! The Gold Heart Pack……they are the royalty pack for

~Devonte~I zip my duffle bag up and carry it out of the room. The transport will be here soon with the prisoner we will be in charge of. Once they get here, we will head over to Emerald Lake pack. I’ve never been to that pack, but I haven’t heard anything bad about it.I wonder if our mate is there, and I hope she isn’t. My brother and I are identical twins and will share a mate. I worry about that because we are two very different people. I can’t imagine what type of she-wolf would be enough for both of us.I pound on my brother’s door as I walk past it. I’m sure he’s still asleep. He has no sense of timing or rules, or etiquette. It amazes me that we are two halves of a whole because we are polar opposites much of the time. I learned long ago to focus on what I need to do and not worry about what my brother is and isn’t doing.The elevator is empty, and I’m glad about that. I hate running across the women of this pack because they are relentless and shameless. They won’t hesitate t

~Lynn~How is it that I got through this meeting without everyone being able to smell me? I spent the entire time fighting my arousal and my wolf. Roxie was ready to break free and claim her mates immediately. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I have two mates. Who would have thunk it?I plop back in the armchair and throw my head back. This is such a mess, and I have no idea what to do. “HELLO?! Lynn?! What is going on with you?” I shake my head a bit and look at Tia.“I, uh, I……” I turn my head to the side before turning back. “What’s it like?”“What do you mean?”“You have two mates. Wha…..what’s it like?” Tia looks at me like I’m from another planet. Slowly, a smile starts to grow on her face, and she starts to chuckle.“Oh, shit! Are those two juicy men your mates?!” I roll my eyes but don’t answer. “They are, aren’t they? You have twin mates!” As giddy as Tia is, I’m sullen. “Uh, why am I the only one ecstatic about this? I know you always wanted to find your

~Lynn~Is this what afterglow is? I really didn’t think it was a thing. I feel beyond content being in my mate’s arms, but something is missing. I feel like my heart isn’t completely full, and I know why that is. Uh, I hate to interrupt anything, but we are waiting for you. And have you, maybe, seen Vonte? Tia giggles as she cuts the mindlink.I turn to face Vonte. His eyes are closed, but he looks at peace. I pull my head back slightly so I can really take a look at him. He has his right eyebrow pierced, and I can see that he may have had a nose ring at one point in life. Both of his ears are pierced, and he wears diamond studs in each ear. He has a very masculine face, a strong, blocked jaw, and very rough features. He has a light scruff on his face, making me wonder what a full beard would look like on him. He has shoulder-length dreads, which I helped remove from their perfect braid. The tips are dyed a blonde color. He has full, thick lips and long eyelashes. I can feel my body h
