Three Fated Hearts by LNC

As if this couldn’t get any worse. My sister is upstairs with a creepy shrine to one of my mates, and here I am, running into the one person I have wanted to avoid the most. I truly don’t have the energy to deal with my father right now, but I guess, at this point, I have no other choice.

I stand still and take a few deep breaths. “I said: what the hell are you doing in my house?” I gulp, but no words are forming in my mind, let alone coming out of my mouth. I can feel my heartbeat increase, and I have to say that I’m pretty scared. I don’t know what is going to happen with my dad.

“I came t…..to ch……check on A….aida.” Goddess, I sound so pathetic, but I can’t help it. My father has always made me nervous, and there are times that I’ve been terrified, and this is one of those times.

My back hits the wall beside me, and my dad has his hand around my neck, applying pressure that is causing my breathing to be shaky at best. “I could end you right now. I could make you cease to exist, and then my daughters would get everything they deserve.” My dad leans in closer so that our noses are almost touching. “Give me one good reason to keep you living.”

that I know shift won’t do anything but cause more issues, and it won’t guarantee that I would get my neck broken in wolf form. When it comes down to it, my father is stronger than I am. He has been training all his life in wolf and human form. I really don’t have much of a chance to win against him. “Now, daddy, you really don’t want to do that.” My eyes dart to the side, and I see Aida standing on the bottom step of the stairs. She
