All Chapters of Three Fated Hearts: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

~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

~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

~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

~Nikki~Have you ever had a dream where you are on the edge of something, a building or cliff, and you fall off? My body is falling; it feels like the wind is flashing by me. It makes me think of that movie, you know the one. That guy was wearing that stylish black jacket throughout. Something about a red pill and a blue pill: he could fly through the air, and he was often doing that or jumping off of things. I swear I’m bad with movie names.Well, anyway, it’s like that. I remember watching that movie and wondering what flying would feel like. I wondered what it would feel like to have that wind rushing over me like that. This is like that, but only……only it’s very different. It’s pitch black here, with no lights and no sounds. There’s no color, no grey areas, just black. I keep reaching out, trying to grab hold of something, anything to stop my falling, but there’s nothing. There’s no rope, no fabric, no branches….nothing. I keep expecting to come crashing down onto a surface, but

~Stuart~I wipe her brow again; the sweat keeps coming. I lean in close and hold my breath. I can hear her breathing, so that’s a good sign. I just wish she would wake up.I may have been an asshole to Nikki while we were together, but I paid attention to her and learned a few things. Once I picked Nikki up from the borders, I brought her back to my place. The clinic would have been good, but I can’t be on packlands, and they would have thought that I was the one that put her in that position. I cleaned up her wounds and applied first aid. That is what I learned from Nikki: how to keep someone alive as best as possible. I have no idea what Nikki went through, but I had to do everything I could to keep her alive. I owe her so much that this is just a tiny task. We’ve been here for four days; Nikki has been like this for four days. I was able to get a former doctor to see her. He said I cleaned her up well, and there should be no worry about infections. He gave her some stitches and d
