Three Fated Hearts

Chapter 85



Chapter 85

~Aida~

Never did I think I would be able to see my sister again before we disappeared. I have to admit that I’ve missed her so much. We are twins who have always done everything together. There has never really been a time that we have been apart until recently. Maybe I can get her to go with us. I would love to have my sister by my side. “Come and sit down. How have you been?”

“You heard me, Aida. What have you done? Why is Lincoln here and tied up?” I turn to Lincoln and blow him a kiss. Maybe I should have gotten Landon too. That probably would have made my sister happy. Perhaps we can get him before we leave tomorrow night.

“I got my man. Wasn’t that the plan……to get our men back? Well, mine is sitting right there.” I look back at Lincoln, and my smile grows while I imagine how our life will be once we get away from here. We are going to be so happy.

Adela walks over to Lincoln, looking him over. I watch her movements while she walks around him. “She won’t,” I whisper. “She’s my sister and she wants me to be happy.”

“Did you say something?” Adela looks at me with her hands on her hips. I clear my throat. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“No, I didn’t say anything. Anyways, maybe we can snatch Landon for you tomorrow night. We can all head out together.” Adela eyes Lincoln once more before making her way to me. She sits in a chair next to mine.

“Tomorrow night? Head out where? Why is Lincoln wearing daddy’s watch?” Oh, Adela must not know about dad and the Luna. I wonder how she’ll take the news.

“Yes, tomorrow night. We are going to go far from here tomorrow night and start our lives together. It’s everything we discussed. I mean, we won’t be the Alpha and Luna to Emerald Lake, but I’m sure we

can create our own pack when we get to where we’re going. You and Landon should joining us so we can do it just like we always said we would.” I lean in closer to Adela. “The watch is another story, and you will never believe what I found out.” Adela looks at me, waiting for me to tell, but I hear Lincoln huff behind me. I don’t know if he should know about this. As it is, I will have to keep him subdued for a while, and this news might make it that much harder to do. “I’ll tell you later. The watch, actually, is a talisman. It keeps the fated mates from feeling betrayal and dampens the bond between the wolves. Eventually, they will forget their fated mates all together. It doesn’t take long at all; then it’s like the bond never happened!” I remember the necklace, jumping up with a clap. I head to my duffel bag to get the little bag I keep the talismans in. “When we get Landon, I have another talisman for him. He will forget all about Portia and, eventually, only have eyes for you. This is perfect! I’m so glad I got both of them.” I reach into the bag and pull out the necklace. Adela reaches out to touch it and looks at me.

“Uh, that actually sounds like a good plan. I have some things I need to do so I should do that. I will be back, and we can figure out how to get Landon. Do you know where we are going to end up?” I nod my head enthusiastically. I’m even more excited than I already was.

“Yes, I have everything ready. I have enough wolfsbane to keep Landon and Lincoln calm until they forget about the mate bond. Everything is perfect.” Adela stands up and hugs me.

“Ok. I will go, but I will be back sometime in the morning. I just need to get a few things. Aida, this is going to be great.” Adela kisses me on my cheek and walks to the door. She looks back at Lincoln and me, then closes the door behind her.

“See, I told you it would be good. She’s my sister and she wants me to be happy.” I walk over to Lincoln and sit at his feet. I move between his legs and lay my head on his lap, taking a deep breath and closing my eyes. I should get some rest. Tomorrow will be a busy day.

Mom walks me to my room, but I can’t seem to focus on anything. What the hell is going on? The Luna and my dad are, what? Fated mates? If that’s the case, why didn’t they reject each other, or did they? If they did, why did that bond seem to be intact still? I swear I don’t know what to think and on top of all that one of my mates is missing!

I take a breath in, and dread overcomes me. I know that scent, and this may not be good. I look at mom, and she has fear all over her face. I have to protect her no matter what. “Nikki, can we talk?” I slowly turn around, and there stands my father. His suit is wrinkled, and he didn’t bother to button his shirt back up. His scent is mixed with the Luna’s, and that’s a hard pill to swallow.

“I don’t know what we have to say to each other. You should just go home, Stuart.” I watch dad as he starts to get angry. His chest is moving up and down due to his hard breathing, and I can see his eyes flicker back and forth. I’m ready to defend my mother to death if need be. He’s caused her enough pain.

“The least you can do is hear me out. You owe me that much.” My whips around so fast, I can’t keep her behind me. She’s in front of dad before I can move, and a slap echoes throughout the hallway.

“How dare you! I don’t owe you s**t!! Just who the hell do you think you are to demand anything of me? Here we are, all of these years later, three kids down the road, and I find out that you have been keeping your fated mate as a what? A side piece?” Mom steps back a bit. “Hell, maybe I was the side piece all of these years. I owe you? You owe me my life back. You owe me my youth, my happiness, you…… UGH!” I step behind mom, ready to pull her away if I need to. That slap was so fierce that dad’s head snapped to the side. I know he has to be even angrier than he was before.

“She was never in the picture. We weren’t together. I made you my chosen mate and I stayed committed to you and our family. I’ve never gone behind your back and entertained the bond until tonight.”

“And I’m supposed to believe that? What….am I supposed to be thankful? Well, thank you so f**king much!” Mom starts to do a slow clap, and I fight to keep my laughter inside. “You waited until now to cheat. How very gentlemanly of you. Give me a f**king break! Why weren’t you with your fated mate, huh? Why chose me when she’s been here the entire time?”

“Because you were PREGNANT remember?! You got pregnant with the twins. What was I supposed to do, leave you to do it alone? What kind of man would I be then?”

“I definitely could have done it alone and I would be happier. Maybe my twins would even have better attitudes and personalities had I done it alone.”

“Watch how you talk about my girls,” dad replies with a menacing growl.

“I can say anything I want about MY girls because I’m their mother and I will tell the truth abou them. Why didn’t you just reject her? If you were so committed to me and those girls, why not just reject her?” Dad looks down.

“I….I just couldn’t. Caesar wouldn’t allow it and I just couldn’t.”

“F**k you and f**k Caesar! F**k your mate too! I don’t want to see you again.” Mom stomps off to her room and slams her door. I stand and watch dad, not sure what will happen now. He only looks at me, to my surprise, then turns around and heads downstairs. I walk into my room and fall on the bed wishing that this was all a bad dream I just need to wake up from.
