Three Fated Hearts by LNC

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.

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 let this go. Accept your
