~Lincoln~

I swear, if I have to watch my mate fawn over another man again, I’m going to go on a killing spree. It was the most frustrating thing in the world. Even though Tia and I have mated, we are still unmarked and watching her talk to Neal left the worst taste in my mouth.

The three of us head back to the packhouse, and I’m sure Landon plans to finish what we started in the training area. Tia was so aroused from our little warning and I’d imagine Landon is ready to ride that wave. I would love to join them, but fair is fair. I lost my v*******y to Tia alone, and Landon is allowed that same opportunity.

We are about to walk up the deck to the backdoor when we are met with a very unpleasant sight. Adela is sitting on the steps of the deck, and when she sees us, she springs up. I swear it has only been 24 hours since the last bout of drama from her and her sister. No one is ready for round 2 this soon. I can feel Landon’s anger through the bond, and I just hope she doesn’t sign her own death certificate, being here right now.

“What do you want?” Adela looks at the three of us before setting her sights solely on me. Just my luck that whatever this is has a focus on me.

“I need to speak to Lincoln.” Landon scoffs, and Tia says nothing.

“Anything you need to say to me, you can say in front of my brother and our mate.” That last bit gets to Adela, making her make a disgusted face. She quickly puts her face back to its neutral state in an attempt to seem on board.

“It’s Aida……” I hold my hand up to stop Adela before she even starts.

It doesn’t matter what you two were in the past. She needs help, and you are turning her down?!” I have to admit Adela does make a reasonable point, and I hate it. I am soon to be Alpha of this pack, and I’m meant to care for all pack members no matter what. I shouldn’t hesitate to see about Aida and make sure she’s alright. It’s just that a part of me feels like this is some trick, and seeing Aida will be very bad. How do I do my duty as

I both turn to look at her with dumbfounded looks on our faces. Tia chuckles. “Don’t look at me like that. Aren’t I to be the Luna of this pack? This is the type of things that a Luna would take care of, correct?” I nod but am still amazed. Just 24 hours ago, Aida was trying to poach me from Tia, and if she got hurt in the process, so be it. Now, here Tia is, trying

all some elaborate rouse. Much to my surprise, Adela doesn’t argue. You can tell she isn’t fond of the idea, but she doesn’t argue with it either. “Fine, you can do what you want. I just need my sister to be okay. I won’t go with you since you know where to go. I have other things to
