Three Fated Hearts – Chapter 2

I finally make it to our territory and drive through the gates. I can see a slew of cars in the distance, and I know that we will be meeting out back, off to the side. It will be outdoors, which is the best location because we are a pretty big pack. Any event where the entire pack has been invited always takes place outside. We usually have a small stage set up, and seating is available.

I quickly park close to my parent’s house since it is pretty close to the packhouse. I don’t want driving up in my car to be a huge disruption to the ceremony that I’m late for. My mom won’t be very pleased, and my dad may actually be upset since I would be messing up his golden children’s day.

I quickly take off to the packhouse, cursing myself for being late and also wearing what I’m wearing. Swearing in a new Alpha is a big deal, and you have to look nice at the ceremony. I opted for a knee-length, sleeveless black dress with red pumps. I always like to have an item stand out from everything else. Now, running in these pumps was just not the best idea for a dress. Then again, I didn’t plan to be late for the ceremony.

When I get to the side, the Alpha is speaking, so I decide to wait. I don’t want to interrupt, and I don’t want to draw attention away from him. As I stand out of the way, Andricia, my wolf, is running circles in my head. She has been a bit crazy since we found out we had to go back, but right now, she is being too much.

What the hell is wrong with you?……… Andricia?………

He has actually called me a few times to check on me since I’ve been away. I’m sure it is only because he is my Alpha, but it’s nice, just the same. Luna Kimberly is another story. She seems to hate me and has

seat. I decide to stay at the back to minimize disruptions. I start to walk through the back row, noticing a vacant seat, and Andricia is losing her s**t. I swear we won’t be here that long, so there is no need for the panic. I’m walking past people’s legs and getting looks while doing so when I stop in my tracks. A scent like no other practically smacked me upside my head. I start to sniff the air. I can smell peppermint, but there are two other scents with it. It’s like a strong peppermint with grapefruit and lemon. Such a weird combination, but I have to

guide me, and I look around, but nothing is grabbing my attention. I could feel eyes on me, and I follow the tug. My eyes cast over the spectators and land on the

I push forward, running with all I have, then I fall flat on my face. I pop my head up a bit and look back, noticing my heel stuck in the ground and my ankle throbbing.

in the audience, but only Landon was ready to accept his fate. It isn’t that Lincoln was against the idea of fated mates, he just wasn’t ready for it. He has always been iffy about having to share a mate with his brother. He understood the fact that identical twins shared a mate because they were halves of the same egg, but he never really felt okay with him. He had always been afraid that he would become insanely jealous any time

coming up empty, Lincoln was actually okay with the outcome.
