“Portia…..Portia Colby.” She sighs and looks down at her ankle, inspecting the damage.

“Tia.”

“What?”

“I said, it’s Tia.” She sighs again and tries to get up. I quickly move to her side, grabbing her hand. She pulls away at first but then places her hand in mine, and the sparks fly. My body shivers at the contact, and I have to take a deep breath to stay focused. I place my other hand on her elbow and help her off of the ground. She leans into me, trying to keep pressure off of her ankle. I know it will heal pretty soon, but it looks kind of bad right now.

“Why ‘Tia’?” She turns her head to me and raises an eyebrow.

“Huh?”

“Why do you go by Tia?” She chuckles a bit, but there is no humor in her voice.

“Do you know what the name Portia means?” I shake my head. Truth be told, I never really thought about what people’s names mean. “It means, well, in many circles, it means pig or hog. Shakespeare meant it in a different way, but that wasn’t the intended meaning when the name was given to me.” Now I wonder how the hell she knows all of that. “And how do I know that, you wonder? My father told me so. He named me Portia specifically because of it’s meaning. So I go by Tia.” Damn, that’s just f**ked up. Why would a parent do that to a child, and why tell them that they did that?

She has big, light brown eyes with long, natural lashes. Her lips are thick and pouty. She has flawless brown skin, and her hairstyle is cute on her goddess braids in a brown/blonde color. The coloring suits her skin tone very well. She is about 5’7 with a body to die for. She has a nice round a*s and a big-sized chest, though not too big. Everything looks well proportioned with her

and I notice Tia limping. I quickly pick

up right where I don’t want to be. I

but it’s too late now. I sit close to the lake’s edge and place my head on my knees. What am I going to do? If I accept Portia as my mate, that means that my brother and I will have to share her. I’m not sure that I’m strong enough for that. I don’t want to get jealous or angry with my brother. Choosing the twins would have been perfect, and I’m sure that eventually, the bond

out over the lake, I hear a twig snap behind me. I pretend that I don’t hear anything and wait a bit. Sure enough, the scent of the person hits me, informing me of exactly who it is. “What are

Tell us what’s going on.” Aida softly kisses the top of my earlobe, which pisses Brutus off. He wants to rip her tongue out for touching

Adela, who is standing behind her. I run my hand across my jaw, sighing deeply. “We…….we seem to have found our mate.” Adela looks pissed, and Aida looks heartbroken. F**k, this is too much to take in right
