Three Fated Hearts by LNC

~Tia~

After untangling myself from my s*x mates, I got a text from Lynn. She said that I should talk to Mark. It seemed to be important. I would have found him sooner, but I had a time getting out of the room. My mates decided that we needed to have another round in the shower, then another one when I tried to get dressed. I felt satiated but also drained. I guess this is what life will be like with twin mates.

Mark is acting funny, and I’m not sure what to make of it. I slowly walk into his house, looking around the room. I wonder if something is going to pop out at me with the way Mark is acting. Nothing popped out at me, and I was relieved for a bit.

I walk into the living room and sit on the couch. Mark sits on the other end of the couch and keeps fidgeting. He is looking all over the room and not speaking. “Mark, is everything alright? You really have me worried right now.” I look closely at Mark and can see the sweat on his brow. Something is going on with him, but I can’t help until he talks to me.

I scoot closer to Mark and reach out to touch his arm. Mark flinches at my touch and jumps off the couch. Mark starts to pace back and forth, and all I can do is watch him unravel. I lose track of time, watching Mark go through the distress he is experiencing. “I…..I…..” Mark struggles to speak, and my heart breaks for him. I’m not sure how much longer I can watch him go through this.

It seems as if he still does, and that could be a serious problem. I have found my mates, and Mark is meant to be their Beta. There is no room for Mark to have romantic feelings

I don’t know what the right choice is. I….I’m not sure if I could reject her if you ask me to. I want to do be that person for you, but I

this before it goes any further. This is not okay; Mark harboring these feelings for me. He has to let me go, or else things are going to get very bad. “Mark, I….I’m flattered I swear. You know I love you…..as a brother.” I stand up and walk to the window. “I’ve known for sometime that you have had feelings for me, but I always hoped they would just go away. I never wanted to risk our friendship. You are meant to be Beta to my mates. You can not have feelings for me beyond friendship. You have to

time to see a smile on his face. A chuckle slips out of his mouth, and he quickly covers it. I watch his shoulders start to move up and down, and he laughs. Mark throws his head

me wrong, I did have feelings for you at one point. I did get over them and let you go years ago.” I can feel my face get hot with embarrassment. I completely misread
