Three Fated Hearts Waking Up
My body is shaking. Is there something wrong? Am I having a seizure? “Doc?! Are you okay?!” I struggle to open my eyes, feeling them to be encrusted. The shaking continues, and I’m not sure how to get it to stop.I start to twist and turn, my body aching with each movement. I feel like I’ve been beaten up many times over, and I’m just hurting. I don’t think there are any amount of pain pills that would be able to take this pain away. “DOOOOOCCCCC!!!!! Goddess, please wake up!” I start to moan; my throat’s so dry and scratchy. “Mmmm….mmmmm….mmmmmm…..” Fuck, this is crazy. I start to breathe in deeply, hoping I can get myself up. I don’t know why this is so hard. I just came here and laid down, so it shouldn’t be this hard. How long have I been here? Did I actually die at some point? I take a deep breath and pull at my eyelids, willing them to open. A beam of light hits my eye, and it’s fucking bright. I close them back and try to open them again, hoping they open wider this time. I ca

~Imogene~Things are actually going very well. I had an inkling of a plan, and it expanded on me. I’m truly surprised that it’s going so well. I don’t know if it’s due to my amazing planning skills or these dogs being that stupid. It really doesn’t matter why it is; it just is, and I’m okay with that fact. There will be an announcement at dinner informing the pack of the changes. I was hesitant initially; since Paul isn’t in charge, what difference does it make? I realize it all goes along with the celebrity status that there is in the pack system. Paul is greatly revered, and I’m getting that by association. Everyone will be excited about the news and clamor to do even more for us than they already do. I slick down my dress and slip into my shoes. I’m wearing a form-fitting maxi dress. I figure that I should wear it now before it becomes unreasonable to have it on. I hate to see what clothes I will have to wear in the future, but I will worry about that when I get to it. It’s time

~Nikki~Aluma gets us back to our home with Lynn in tow. “Can I get some water?”“Go for it.” Aluma sits on the couch, and she lets go, falling in the background while pushing me forward. I blink a few times, never having been out of control of my own body for that long. Thank you, Aluma. You don’t need to thank me. You just need to cut the shit! I need you to stay on point and stop letting that bitch get to you. Aluma throws a block up, and I assume she’s going to use this time to rest up. Everything she said is true. I need to focus on what’s in front of me rather than allow myself to spiral out of control at any little issue. There was a time when Aluma and I didn’t see eye to eye. She hated how I bent to Stuart’s will. She always wanted to push through and take control. Stuart’s wolf changed, and that changed Aluma. He has as much control over her as Stuart had over me. The fact is, though, we should have tried harder. We should have pushed against them and stood up for our kid

~Imogene~I tried to get out of the entire party, telling them that the announcement was enough, but that’s not how these dogs do things, which is annoying. Everyone was insistent on having this party, especially since Paul is a popular individual. I had to give in, unfortunately. I guess I shouldn’t be too worried about things. It isn’t like anyone here knows who I really am. Those who are looking for me have no idea where to find me. I don’t even think the two groups deal with each other, but one can never be too sure. The party is in two days, and I’ve been avoiding all the planning. I told them that I wouldn’t want to look for a dress. The truth of the matter is that I can put any outfit on myself at any time. I don’t have to go to a store, and I don’t want to. I don’t want to leave these lands; I have to stay as hidden as possible. It hasn’t just been this pack that’s been hounding me the last few days. My phone has been blowing up. I keep getting texts and phone calls, and I’

~Nikki~We’ve been over the plan again and again. Lynn and I will attend the party. I will find time to slip away while Lynn makes sure she keeps an eye on Imogene. I will go through Paul’s house and see what I can find out about her. I will return to the party, and no one will be the wider. We decided that I get 45 minutes to look around, no more than that. I’m nervous about this, but there is no other way to go about things. We need to figure out why things are so crazy, knowing that things changed the minute Imogene came to the pack. We have to find out if she’s a threat or not. She doesn’t talk to people, so snooping through her stuff will be the best way to go about this. I’m not a spy…..not a sneaky person……I’m not a warrior. I’m just a simple doctor, and I have no idea what the hell I’m doing. Lynn is much better suited for this, but needs to be seen. Her absence will draw suspicion, and mine will not be noticed. As scared as I am, I know I need to be the one to do this, and
Last Updated : 2024-09-13Three Fated Hearts Searching
~Imogene~I’m actually nervous, like seriously. This party has me a bit shaky, and I’m not sure why. All of this is a means to an end, yet I feel as if I’m doing this for real. Maybe it’s the fact that there will be a lot of people here. Perhaps it’s me being worried that I’m stepping into something that I won’t be able to step out of later. I smooth out the skirt of my bright red dress. It’s sleeveless with a slit on both sides that goes up to my hips. I keep my hair down and minimal makeup. I really don’t need to do much; actually, I could wear a potato sack, and things would be fine. There’s usually a spell for anything, and I sometimes like to dabble. I reach the bottom of the stairs, where Paul awaits me. I have to say that this spell has taken a real toll on him. I had to employ a glamour spell so people wouldn’t be able to see how worn out he really is. We won’t have to keep this up much longer with any luck. I’m putting my pieces into position to get what I want to live how

~Imogene~All of these people coming up and greeting us is already getting tedious. I wish I could be done with this party already, but I have to play the part. I remember to keep a hand on my stomach as if protecting my precious package. I never thought I’d be in a room filled with mutts, but sometimes, we can find a lot in the most unlikely places. I noticed the doctor as soon as we walked over, then I got bombarded with well-wishers. I’m surprised that she showed her face at this party. I can’t tell if she’s brave for that or pathetic. Either way, I know it kills her to watch me with Paul, which gives me some satisfaction. I swear if one more person tries to touch my stomach, I’m going to scream. So many of these women keep putting their hands on my stomach to congratulate us on our pending arrival. It’s really annoying, and not just because there’s nothing really in there. Paul places a hand on my back and guides me to the table so we can eat. Suddenly, I feel pain in my gut, a
Last Updated : 2024-09-14Three Fated Hearts Aftermath
~Imogene~I continue to attack her with my phantom wolves, making sure they bite everywhere, ripping her skin apart. I can feel the power flowing through me, and I love it. I flex my fingers, watching the blue spark on my fingertips. I point to a rock and watch it float in the air. I move it over her head and let it drop. It didn’t hit her as much as I wanted; the edge clipped her. I will take what I can get. I glide over to her body and kick at her side. She doesn’t move or groan. Her body is covered in cuts, some deeper than others. The wound on her head is deep. I can see white in the center, so I’m guessing that might be skull showing through. All the cuts are leaking profusely, and I’m glad about that. The blood is pooling beneath her, the puddle getting bigger and bigger. I set my feet on the ground and turn, walking back through the woods. I take my time to get back to the party. Just as I figured, everything is as I left it. I walk to the back of the packhouse, standing in t

Three Fated Hearts Epilogue 2
6 Months Later~Paul~It’s been six long months, and Nikki still hasn’t woken up. Owlyn has been here and tried to get a response from her. Nothing has worked because she says it has nothing to do with magic. The doctors don’t have an answer, and I’m just lost without her.I knew she shouldn’t have volunteered. I felt in my heart that it wasn’t the right choice, but what could I do? I love her with everything I have, and I couldn’t tell her not to do what her heart said was the right thing.I run my hands through my hair and then over my face. I haven’t left her side in six months, and I’m beyond tired of seeing these walls. My sons have tried to get me to leave, and so has Tia. I refuse them because this is where I’m meant to be. As long as my heart is here, I will be here. Tia has been here often and has brought our grandchild, but besides those visits, it’s just been Nikki and me. I refuse to believe that I finally found my fated mate just to lose her so quickly.I put my head in m
Three Fated Hearts Epilogue 1
~Devonte~The pain in my heart is all-consuming. I want the pain to stop, but I don’t know how to make that happen. I curl up tighter, hoping that the pressure will help with the pain. It’s all too much, and I don’t know what to do to make it better.Abe has gone silent, and I’m not surprised. He’s been struggling the most, and I have no words to soothe him. I wish I could wake up yesterday when things were what they were. I’d give anything to go back.“BROTHER?! BROTHER WHERE ARE YOU?!” I curl up tighter as if that’s going to keep me from being found. I don’t think I can handle the words and emotions that will surely follow my brother. I can’t take what that would mean.His thudding footsteps get closer and closer. I know I can’t hide myself; there’s no way to become invisible. I can’t keep this from happening. I hold my breath, waiting for the inevitable. “D, I found you. I’ve been looking everywhere. Our mate, she needs us. She needs you.” I’m trying to block out his words, but I’m
Three Fated Hearts Final Showdown
~Third Person~Everything seemed to happen all at once. Andricia is thrown against a tree trunk and curls up with a whimper. The pain is too much, causing Andricia to shift back into Tia. The twins witness this, and all restraint is lost. They shift and run at Imogene, who quickly wraps them up in blue light.Nikki hasn’t taken her eyes off Imogene, so she’s ready to interfere. As she shoots her light at Imogene, it strikes her in the stomach. Imogene is taken off guard and loses her grip on the twins. They fall to the ground and falter as they try to get on their feet. Eventually, they gain their footing and try to attack Imogene again.Imogene defends herself, reduced to hand-to-hand combat with the edge of magic. She repeatedly strikes the wolves as they throw themselves at her. They are taking a lot of punishment, but they refuse to stop. Their only goal is to defend their love, though they’d rather take the time to see about her.The group is joined by vampires and rogues alike.
Three Fated Hearts Blood
~Jenna~I scramble backward, making sure my back is flush against the tree trunk. I try to quiet my breathing, but it's proving to be a task. I search around me, but there’s only darkness. The night air is still filled with the sounds of a battle, but I can’t see what’s going on.“Ughhhhh.” I slap my hand over my mouth in an attempt to stay quiet. I look down and see the bright red blood. I shut my eyes tight and try to think about anything else. If I freak out right now, I won’t be able to get back to safety.Every inch of my body hurts, but I can’t think about that now. I need to get out of here and make it back to the packhouse. I struggle to my feet, using only my right arm. My left just hangs against my body. Every twist and turn of my body brings a wave of excruciating pain, but I have to ignore it right now.I finally get to my feet and stand against the tree trunk. My breathing is erratic, and my chest is heaving up and down. “Where’d she go? I don’t see her.”“Sniff her out.”
Three Fated Hearts Deaths
~Aida~I’m applying pressure to my sister’s neck, and I feel her body giving in. This is so easy it’s pathetic. I would have thought that she would have trained during my absence. She had to know that I would return, and with my return would come the fight for her life. I guess having a brain doesn’t guarantee that you’ll use it.Portia’s body slumps to the ground, and her breathing gets heavier. I swear she’ll be dead in a minute. While part of me is rejoicing, the other part of me feels that she’d be getting off too easily. She’s the cause of all my problems, even the cause of Adela’s death. I may have administered the final blow, but it wouldn’t have come to that if she hadn’t disrupted our plans.Portia completely falls under, and I let her go with a thud on the ground. I get to my feet and walk around her limp body. Her breathing is shallow, so I know I can still play around with her before I kill her. I just need to figure out what games will be fun to engage in.I walk around h
Three Fated Hearts Waste of Time
~Ivan~One of the twins lunges at me, and I step out of the way. The other twin moves toward me, causing me to dodge slightly. This can’t be how they expect to beat me. If things continue this way, I’m going to win without breaking a sweat.I don’t want to spend a lot of time with these two. I need to go find Aida and so help anyone who has tried to put their hands on her. No one will hurt my love and live to tell the tale. I’d scorch the Earth before I let anyone hurt her.These imbeciles are staring at me but have stopped lunging. I guess they realize that it’s useless. It doesn’t matter what they do to me, they won’t win. I’m a vampire, so my natural state is on a different level. On top of that, I’ve been around for a long time. There isn’t much that I haven’t seen before, so they are hard-pressed to find something new to throw at me. “We’re wasting time, boys. I have more pressing matters.” I flip two fingers in the air back and forth. I hear reinforcements moving in. “Let me jus
Three Fated Hearts ...Turn to Shit
~Lynn~I reach into the vampire’s chest and pull out its heart. My hand is covered in blood, but it’s as black as tar. There’s a stench to it; it smells like it’s rotting. I guess that makes sense because vampires aren't like the rest of us. They are the undead.I look to my left and can make out Abe in the distance. He’s ripping the head off of a vampire. Another vampire has climbed on his back, but he shakes him off. I look to my right, and Mace has the leg of a vampire in his mouth, and he shakes him like a rag doll. I duck quickly, missing the clothesline that was intended for me. I look behind myself and kick out, catching the perpetrator in the stomach. I wind the rope around my fist and throw a punch. The rope, mixed with the strength of my punch, causes my hand to literally push a chunk of her arm onto the ground. I follow up with a round kick and straddle her body as soon as it hits the ground. I rain a combination of punches on her body before ripping her throat out.I’m tir
Three Fated Hearts How Quickly Things Can...
~Jenna~I’m herding those who can’t fight into the safe rooms. We have entry points on both ends of the pack, but I’m only worried about those on this end where the packhouse is. Elderly pack members, as well as children, have been running here in droves. The sooner we get them to safety, the better off we will all be.I take one last look around and turn to the opening that will lead to the underground tunnels. It isn’t a long walk from the tunnels to the rooms; we wanted to make sure everyone would have a chance to get to safety. Once I get inside, the doors will be locked, and we will wait for word that everything is over.Crying sounds behind me, causing me to whip around. A pregnant woman with a toddler is running toward where I’m standing. A few warriors rushed out to her, working overtime to keep the vampires back.I watch the woman run forward with her baby’s hand in hers. She trips, and her knees hit the ground, causing her to lose her grip on her child. She cries out and cra
Three Fated Hearts Meeting in the Woods
~Mark~I’ve been on alert all evening. I know tonight is the night, but I have no idea when. It’s just a guess, but we expect an attack on this pack. It isn’t that I’ve done anything to Aida, but her enemy is my best friend, and my mate has gone after her obsession. It seems they are trying to hurt Tia in any way they can, and that would include attacking this pack.I haven’t been Alpha that long, and I’ve only had my fated mate a bit longer than that. I have a baby coming and I like my life right now. I don’t want to lose anything right now, but this battle could have me lose it all.I clean off my desk and put files in the filing cabinet. I think the best thing right now is to have time with my mate. I want her to know how much she’s loved, just in case. I close the office door behind me and turn to head up the stairs. Alpha, we have a breach! My heart begins to thump in my chest as the seriousness of the situation grabs me. I take a deep breath and let it out. Hey, beautiful. Wher
