Three Fated Heartsย ย ย Got Him
~Tia~โ.....you have to kill me as well.โ I can feel the confusion through the bond, but I canโt. I canโt look at himโฆ..I canโt face him. I can barely breathe, barely stay on my feet. What did I do? How could I be so careless and self-centered? I went to that house to check on Aida. I saw what was in her room; the shrine she had to Lincoln. Anyone who saw that would know that there was something not right with Aida. Anyone else would have taken the time to tell someone to get her some help. I did none of those things. I told no one and didnโt try to get her any help. Instead, I went about my life as if I had never seen it.Lincoln is missing. He has been taken, and if not for Adela, he would be moved tonight. He probably would have never been heard from again. Aida took Lincoln, and she could do so because of me. I did this to us, to my mate.I turn and struggle to get the door open. I can barely see with all of the tears in my eyes. Iโm trying not to break down right here where othe

~Stuart~Itโs so dank down here. I never liked coming down here, and once I got the head warrior position, I made sure I never came down here if I could avoid it. The horrors that can take place here are strewn across the walls and embedded in the ground. When I go back home, I will need a complete shower, maybe 3. I make my way down the hall, walking past empty cells. One cell holds Neal, a trusted warrior. I have to admit that I admire his bravado, and itโs too bad that Portia didnโt go for his advances. If she had, that would have made things easier for the twins. He laid out on his cot, not moving. I continue down the hall until I reach the cell Iโve been looking for. My baby is sitting in the corner of the cell, knees drawn up and her head resting on her knees. I can hear small sniffles, and it breaks my heart to see her like this. โHoney?โ I call her softly, unsure if sheโd answer and not wanting to scare her. Adela answers but doesnโt look up.โDaddy? What are you doing here?

~Kimberly~The commotion I heard made me come out and see what was going on. I noticed both my sons going to the packhouse, and I wanted to run to greet them. Iโm so happy to see Lincoln in one piece. I stopped to take in the scene, and I want to recoil. I have a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. Something is gnawing at me, and I donโt like it. There are so many pack members out here, attracted to the loudness like me. Paul is out here along with my sons, and that terrifies me. I have a feeling that something is going to be said that isnโt going to go well for anyone. โNo one needs to hear anything else, Stuart. You have ruined her life long enough.โ Iโd never seen Nikki stand up to Stuart, and itโs an interesting sight.โNo, Nikki. Little Miss Luna has asked me a question. Who am I to ignore her?โ Stuart turns to Tia, who hasnโt so much as flinched this entire time. โYou took away my happy ending.โ No, please, no. Please donโt tell me that heโs going to say this out loud.

~Landon~No one moves; it seems that no one is breathing. I donโt think anyone expected Tia to issue a challenge, but here we are. Neither Lincoln nor I feel good about this; our inherent nature is to protect our mate at all times and all costs. This is something that she needs to do herself, even though we donโt like it.Stuart throws his head back and laughs. He starts to grip his stomach, and he falls forward, laughing. There are a few snickers around us, but Tia doesnโt move. She stands, waiting for his answer. I, personally, want to rip his head off. The laughing is a clear sign of disrespect, and I donโt like my Luna being disrespected. Stuart stands up straight and wipes tears from his eyes. โYouโre serious, arenโt you?โ He steps toward Tia, looking down at her. โYou get some mates and get a mark, and all of a sudden, you have a backbone.โ Stuart sighs. โOkay, little girl. If you want everyone to watch you get your ass handed to you, so be it.โ Stuart steps back and gets into

~Lincoln~I hang up the phone, rubbing my temples. This is starting to be beyond stressful. โWas it her again?โ I look at Landon and roll my eyes. He already knows the answer to that question. Lilacs and sandalwood hit my nose with a hint of orange, and the tension in my body starts to ease. I lift my head and see my mate walking toward me. She comes behind me and wraps her arms around my shoulders, kissing the back of my head. I will never get tired of the way she makes me feel. โWhy so stressed?โ I sigh, turning in my chair and pulling her onto my lap.โAnother callโฆโฆโ Tia sighs and places her forehead on mine. โSheโs been gone for months now, and she hasnโt stopped reaching out. Have you two thought about talking to her?โ She has been asking this a lot lately, and itโs a tricky question to answer. She is my mother and the former Luna of the pack, but everything sheโs done is enough never to acknowledge her again. โHonestly, love, Iโm not interested, and I may never be.โ โIโm not

~Nikki~I canโt believe how much fun I just had. I canโt remember the last time I enjoyed myself so thoroughly. I laughed and danced until I couldnโt anymore. I never actually considered what life could be like if I got away from Stuart. Now I donโt have to think about it, I can live it, and itโs good.A warm hand touches my knee, sending butterflies to my stomach. I really need to get laid if a simple touch is enough to get me going. โAre you okay?โ I nod. โWeโre here.โ I look around and realized that we are, indeed, back home. I swear the trip from the airport was quicker than ever before.The car door opens for me, and a hand waits. I grab the hand, and the driver helps me out of the car. Paul follows behind me and walks me to the door. โI had so much fun this weekend. Thank you for making it a good time.โ I look at Paul, his smile warming my heart.โNo, thank you. You helped me remember what fun was.โ Paul leans in and kisses me on my forehead.โI will see you later.โ He turns and

~Nikki~I bounce in the bed, making me wonder if Iโm back on the plane. The journey to the wedding was bumpy at best. โMOM!โ I feel an arm around me, and the comfort is wonderful. I pop an eye open and look at my daughter. Sheโs so beautiful; love and happiness agree with her.I owe her so much in the way of an apology. I feel I could have done more to stand up for her, but I was scared. Stuart could always be a more than opposing figure and could be abusive if he deemed it necessary. I let my fear take over, and that caused me to not be there for my daughter like I should have been.I trail my eyes down my daughterโs body until I see the baby bump. My eyes start to mist while I reach out and touch her belly. My baby is having a baby, and Iโm beyond excited. I canโt wait to be a grandmother. Tia moves my hand around her belly until I feel movement. I look up at Tia, and she has a massive smile on her face. โBaby missed its grandma.โ I laugh and wipe my eyes.โNoโฆ.no, not grandma. I do

~Nikki~I tossed and turned all night in anticipation. I feel like I did when I was in high school and had a crush on a guy. This is ridiculous because Iโm a grown-ass woman, and I shouldnโt be crushing on my former Alpha, my daughterโs father-through-mate. I should be ashamed and disgusted at my actions, but I just canโt seem to get there.I swear you are acting like a hussy!Who, me? Yes, you! Why are you encouraging things?Look here, human, I have nothing to do with your desires! You make your own choices; I just so happen to agree with this choice. Aluma is right; of course, I just want someone to blame. I donโt know whatโs come over me, but I think I really like Paul.I take extra care in getting dressed today. I want to make sure I look good. I put on a dark blue Wonder Woman scrub top and dark blue bottoms. I like having the fun scrub tops, and there were many times they appealed to my patients, making my day easier. Iโve let my hair grow out, so itโs now in a bob instead of

Three Fated Heartsย ย ย Epilogue 2
6 Months Later~Paul~Itโs been six long months, and Nikki still hasnโt 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 donโt have an answer, and Iโm just lost without her.I knew she shouldnโt have volunteered. I felt in my heart that it wasnโt the right choice, but what could I do? I love her with everything I have, and I couldnโt 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 havenโt left her side in six months, and Iโm 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 Iโm 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, itโs 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 Heartsย ย ย Epilogue 1
~Devonte~The pain in my heart is all-consuming. I want the pain to stop, but I donโt know how to make that happen. I curl up tighter, hoping that the pressure will help with the pain. Itโs all too much, and I donโt know what to do to make it better.Abe has gone silent, and Iโm not surprised. Heโs 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. Iโd give anything to go back.โBROTHER?! BROTHER WHERE ARE YOU?!โ I curl up tighter as if thatโs going to keep me from being found. I donโt think I can handle the words and emotions that will surely follow my brother. I canโt take what that would mean.His thudding footsteps get closer and closer. I know I canโt hide myself; thereโs no way to become invisible. I canโt keep this from happening. I hold my breath, waiting for the inevitable. โD, I found you. Iโve been looking everywhere. Our mate, she needs us. She needs you.โ Iโm trying to block out his words, but Iโm
Three Fated Heartsย ย ย 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 hasnโt taken her eyes off Imogene, so sheโs 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 theyโd rather take the time to see about her.The group is joined by vampires and rogues alike.
Three Fated Heartsย ย ย 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 thereโs only darkness. The night air is still filled with the sounds of a battle, but I canโt see whatโs going on.โUghhhhh.โ 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 wonโt be able to get back to safety.Every inch of my body hurts, but I canโt 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. โWhereโd she go? I donโt see her.โโSniff her out.โ
Three Fated Heartsย ย ย Deaths
~Aida~Iโm applying pressure to my sisterโs neck, and I feel her body giving in. This is so easy itโs 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 doesnโt guarantee that youโll use it.Portiaโs body slumps to the ground, and her breathing gets heavier. I swear sheโll be dead in a minute. While part of me is rejoicing, the other part of me feels that sheโd be getting off too easily. Sheโs the cause of all my problems, even the cause of Adelaโs death. I may have administered the final blow, but it wouldnโt have come to that if she hadnโt 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 Heartsย ย ย 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 canโt be how they expect to beat me. If things continue this way, Iโm going to win without breaking a sweat.I donโt 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. Iโd scorch the Earth before I let anyone hurt her.These imbeciles are staring at me but have stopped lunging. I guess they realize that itโs useless. It doesnโt matter what they do to me, they wonโt win. Iโm a vampire, so my natural state is on a different level. On top of that, Iโve been around for a long time. There isnโt much that I havenโt seen before, so they are hard-pressed to find something new to throw at me. โWeโre wasting time, boys. I have more pressing matters.โ I flip two fingers in the air back and forth. I hear reinforcements moving in. โLet me jus
Three Fated Heartsย ย ย ...Turn to Shit
~Lynn~I reach into the vampireโs chest and pull out its heart. My hand is covered in blood, but itโs as black as tar. Thereโs a stench to it; it smells like itโs 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. Heโs 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.Iโm tir
Three Fated Heartsย ย ย How Quickly Things Can...
~Jenna~Iโm herding those who canโt fight into the safe rooms. We have entry points on both ends of the pack, but Iโm 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 isnโt 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 Iโm standing. A few warriors rushed out to her, working overtime to keep the vampires back.I watch the woman run forward with her babyโs 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 Heartsย ย ย Meeting in the Woods
~Mark~Iโve been on alert all evening. I know tonight is the night, but I have no idea when. Itโs just a guess, but we expect an attack on this pack. It isnโt that Iโve 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 havenโt been Alpha that long, and Iโve only had my fated mate a bit longer than that. I have a baby coming and I like my life right now. I donโt 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 sheโs 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
