Three Fated Hearts by LNC
Chapter 30

As if this couldn't get any worse. My sister is upstairs with a creepy shrine to one of my mates, andhere I am, running into the one person I have wanted to avoid the most. I truly don't have theenergy 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 heartbeatincrease, 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 fatherhas always made me nervous, and there are times that I've been terrified, and this is one of thosetimes.

"Check on Aida? Why would you care enough to check on Aida? You are the reason why she is aswithdrawn as she is. You took away her future, and now you want to check on her.” My dad shakeshis head in disgust, and I can feel myself shrinking away from my dad. In a way, he's right; if I hadn’tbeen fated to the twins, my sisters would be in a better place.

The closer Tia gets, I can see her features. She looks a bit upset and scared. She is rubbing her neck,making me wonder if everything is okay. I step off of the porch steps as Tia walks closer. I hold myarms open, and Tia walks right into them, wrapping her arms around my waist. I lean my head downon hers, and I can hear her sobbing. “What is it love? What happened over there? How is yoursister?” Tia continues to sob, and I rub her back gently. Her sobs start to diminish, and I rub myhands down her arms, pushing her back at her elbows.

Looking at Tia, I can feel the anger surge through me. There are finger marks on the sides of herneck. Who dared to touch my mate?! I feel a growl in my chest. “Who touched you?!" Tia looks atme with watery eyes, but she doesn't open her mouth to speak. I place my hand on her face and runmy thumb over her cheek. “Tell me who hurt you,” I say in a calmer voice.

Tia clears her throat and places her forehead on my chest. “It doesn't matter. I don't want to talkabout it.” I sigh and wrap my arms around her again.

“It does matter, but I will let it go......for now.” Tia looks back at me and reaches up on her toes totouch her lips to mine. The sparks take over my mind, and I forget about her neck and who I mayneed to punish. Tia moves her head to the side and deepens the kiss while her tongue seeks entry. Igrant it, and Tia wastes no time in painting the inside of my mouth with her tongue. I can feel thefire build inside me, and my hardness increases.

I hear a car in the distance. It stops, and a door opens and closes. I hear a door open behind me, butTia's kiss is taking my focus. “What I've seen so far, this place is gorgeous,” a voice says in front ofme. The voice sounds a bit familiar, but I can’t place it.

“I'm so glad you made it. I can't wait to show you the rest of the pack.” That voice definitely belongsto my mom. I remove my tongue from Tia's mouth and kiss her lips a few more times before liftingmy head and looking in front of me. My blood runs cold at the sight.

“Landon, are you okay? What's wrong?” Tia's voice is almost drowned out by the ringing in my ears.Never did I think this would happen, but here we are. My mouth has gone dry, and I can’t answerTia. She turns and looks behind her. Tia steps away from me and extends her hand. "Hi. Welcome tothe Emerald Lake Pack. I'm Tia Colby and you are?”

My mom has made her way from the front door to stand next to me. “Why that is my visitor. She isJenna Brenner from the Moonlight Pack.” Mom turns to me with a smile on her face. “Landon,honey, say hello to Jenna.”
