~Tia~Amazing, just amazing! That had to be the best encounter with a man that I have ever had. I realize that the mate bond changes things, but I think it’s even more than that. Every touch and every kiss set my soul on fire. I can hear Lincoln’s heartbeat while I’m lying on his chest. He is running his hand up and down my back. This is a wonderful moment, but something is missing. Landon should be on my other side, and we should all be basking together. I turn to look at Lincoln. His eyes are closed, and there is a small smile on his lips. I guess that’s to be expected since he just experienced his first time. “We should find Landon.” Lincoln nods but keeps his eyes closed. “I hope he won’t be upset that you went first.” Lincoln chuckles.“We discussed this after you said you wanted us each separately the first time. Neither Landon nor I cared about the order, and we agreed to let things happen naturally.” That actually makes me feel better. As great as being with Lincoln was, I wa
~Adela~Everything is going to shit, and I’m not happy. I can’t believe that bitch is here and walking around as if she belongs. The thought of Portia makes my blood boil. I’ve been out running since the kitchen incident. I wanted to do other things, try to get the twins to change their minds, but I couldn't focus. I couldn’t stand the fact that everything I had worked so hard for was slowly slipping through my fingers. I walk into the house after running for hours. I walk past the living room, heading to the stairs. “Why has my baby been crying for hours?” I jump out of my skin at the voice. I turn and see Dad sitting in his armchair with a drink in his hand. “What do you mean?”“I get home, and your sister is distraught, spending hours crying and whatnot. What happened?” I sigh internally, really not wanting to deal with this right now.“I don’t know, daddy.” My dad stares at me, scrutinizing me. “How don’t you know?” This time I sigh loudly. I recant the events from the kitchen
~Tia~Goddess, it’s so warm right now. I wonder if my furnace is broken again. This happened once before, and I had to call the super to fix it. It was way too warm in my apartment, and I was walking around practically naked. I guess I will have to go through all that again. I sigh and stretch; well, I try to stretch until I realize that I can hardly move. I open my eyes and remember that I’m not at my apartment. I moved out and am now back at Emerald Lake Pack. I can hear the soft hum of my mates breathing around me, and I settle back into the pillow. “Are you okay?” I jump a bit, not thinking anyone else was up with me.“Landon, why are you awake?” Landon nuzzles his nose in my neck and tightens his hold on me. Lincoln is lying on my shoulder, sleeping away. “I’m a pretty light sleeper. I felt you as soon as you woke up.” I start to turn toward Landon, and Lincoln wiggles next to me. He moves his head off of my shoulder, and I fully turn to Landon. We stare into each other’s eyes
~Third Person~Adela looks on, hidden by the branches of a tree. She is pleased with what she is seeing. Portia is going along with everything much easier than she originally thought. She figured it would take a lot of persuading to get her to warm up to Neal. The only thing that would make this better is if Aida was here to enjoy the show. Aida hasn’t been out of her room since she spoke with Lincoln one-on-one. She won’t eat, and she won’t talk to anyone. If she spends any longer in her room, Adela will be forced to drag her out. Adela looks forward toward Neal and her sister. If she can just get Neal to sweep her off of her feet, the Alphas will be free, and they can be hers and Aida’s again. Adela has always felt she was meant for great things, and she will do whatever it takes to get what she feels she deserves.Closer to the two, Landon and Lincoln have had trouble focusing on training when they see Tia spending her time with an unmated male. They know the young man as Neal Wo
~Lincoln~I swear, if I have to watch my mate fawn over another man again, I’m going to go on a killing spree. It was the most frustrating thing in the world. Even though Tia and I have mated, we are still unmarked and watching her talk to Neal left the worst taste in my mouth. The three of us head back to the packhouse, and I’m sure Landon plans to finish what we started in the training area. Tia was so aroused from our little warning and I’d imagine Landon is ready to ride that wave. I would love to join them, but fair is fair. I lost my virginity to Tia alone, and Landon is allowed that same opportunity. We are about to walk up the deck to the backdoor when we are met with a very unpleasant sight. Adela is sitting on the steps of the deck, and when she sees us, she springs up. I swear it has only been 24 hours since the last bout of drama from her and her sister. No one is ready for round 2 this soon. I can feel Landon’s anger through the bond, and I just hope she doesn’t sign he
As if this couldn’t get any worse. My sister is upstairs with a creepy shrine to one of my mates, and here I am, running into the one person I have wanted to avoid the most. I truly don’t have the energy to deal with my father right now, but I guess, at this point, I have no other choice. I stand still and take a few deep breaths. “I said: what the hell are you doing in my house?” I gulp, but no words are forming in my mind, let alone coming out of my mouth. I can feel my heartbeat increase, and I have to say that I’m pretty scared. I don’t know what is going to happen with my dad.“I came t…..to ch……check on A….aida.” Goddess, I sound so pathetic, but I can’t help it. My father has always made me nervous, and there are times that I’ve been terrified, and this is one of those times. “Check on Aida? Why would you care enough to check on Aida? You are the reason why she is as withdrawn as she is. You took away her future, and now you want to check on her.” My dad shakes his head in di
~Tia~Landon looks stuck, Luna Kimberly looks smug, and who the hell is Jenna? I can feel Andricia pacing in my head, her anger growing. The way Jenna is looking at Landon is pissing her off. She is looking at him as if she is hungry and he is the meal. “It’s nice to meet you, Jenna. I met your father not too long ago. He is a great Alpha.” Jenna glances at me quickly and moves past me to stand in front of Landon. “Hi there, handsome. How have you been?” Landon looks at Jenna and then at me, but he doesn’t respond. Jenna steps closer to him and slides her hand down his chest. “Cat got your tongue?” A growl rips from my throat, and I can feel the blood rushing to my head. It feels like my head will explode at any minute. Just exactly who the f**k does she think she is?Landon steps away from Jenna while pushing her hand away from him. Landon looks at me with a pleading look, but I have nothing for him. She is beyond disrespectful, but I’ve never been so compelled to respond to such b
~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 bullshit, 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 tur
