Three Fated Hearts

Chapter 14

~Adela~

“Did you call? Are they on their way? Good, you know what to do.” I hang up and start the car. The plan has been put into motion, and now I just have to do my part. Aida and I are on our way to our dear sister’s apartment. We have to go a back way to make sure we don’t run across the twins on their way back to the pack.

“Do you think this is a good idea?” I swear this is the 100th time that Aida has asked me this question. I get it; we usually just stay away from Portia. We tend to just ignore her existence and continue with our lives. This is different; this is important. She needs to understand what will happen if she doesn’t back off and leave what is ours alone.

“You’re right. Let’s go back home. We can leave Portia alone, and she will mate and be marked by Landon and Lincoln. She will be the Luna of our pack, and eventually, she will have their heirs. We can just find chosen mates somewhere and forget this ever happened.” I glance at Aida while driving and see that my words had the desired effect. She has gone from worried to angry to determined. I know that it’s the idea of Lincoln being intimate with Portia and even her having his baby that will set Aida off. She will side with me to keep these things from happening.

“How long until we get there?” I smile and keep my eyes on the road. We will just go and remind Portia of who she is and her place in this world. There is nothing wrong will giving a reminder.

“Don’t worry, sister; we will be there soon enough, and we will make sure Portia understands what she needs to do.” We continue the trip in silence, lost in our thoughts.

~Portia~

The twins dropped me off some time ago. I was originally planning to grab my missing things and drive back to the hotel, but my car decided not to start. My care is severely used; it was all I could afford atContent © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

the time. I was working part-time and have been saving up money. My mom wanted to give me some money for the car, but I told her no. I didn’t want her to get in trouble with my father for sending me money. I texted Landon to let him know that they needed to pick me up on their way back to the hotel.

They didn’t tell me what happened or what the call was about, but it seems that it was an emergency. I hope everyone is alright. I figure it may not be that bad since neither my mom nor Lynn have reached out. It’s probably just something they need to take care of since they are the future Alphas. They are the future Alphas, and I’m the future Luna. That is crazy, me being the future Luna.

Why is that so crazy? Do you think we don’t deserve that?

It isn’t that, Andricia. It’s just…….I don’t know. I would have never thought it would be us.

Well, you should have. We are great, and we deserve no less that greatness. Andricia is the best, and when I was old enough to get her, my life was that much less lonely. I love her to pieces and strive to make sure she doesn’t regret having me as her human.

I have been working for a few hours now, trying to get work done so I can be free to hang out with the twins. I’m in graduate school, and truth be told, it isn’t really vital. I decided to continue with school since I didn’t want to return to the pack. I’m working on my Master’s degree in Psychology. It is just an interest I fell into after taking my first Psychology course in school. I love the idea of examining why people do what they do and think how they do. I have a paper due, and I’m almost finished with it. A knock on the door pulls me from my work. It’s probably the twins.

I get up from the couch and look out the peephole. There is no one out there, but I’m sure that I heard a knock on the door. I open the door, but no one is waiting outside. Just as I’m about to close the door, I hear my name in the wind. I step out and look around, but I don’t see anyone. I hear my name again coming from my right. I turn that way and start to head toward the stairs. I’m on the second floor,

though I really tried to get on the ground floor. They have units that have a back door, and that would have been perfect for me when I shifted. I haven’t been able to get into those units, unfortunately.

I get to the top of the stairs and use my enhanced hearing. I hear my name whispered again, and I decide to follow it down the stairs. Now I’m sure most people would call me crazy since I’m walking around with no idea what’s out there. I’m used to the area already, and I can completely defend myself.

I make it downstairs but still see nothing. I look toward the woods that are just behind my apartment complex. I see nothing, but I hear my name again. I slowly walk toward the woods, keeping my eyes and ears open for anything and everything. I make it to the treeline and stop. I see a flash in front of me and head to it. I hear something that sounds like a woman crying. I hope no one is hurt. The things that some of these people can do to others are disgusting.

I step into an open area and look around. I don’t see anyone or hear anything. Just as I’m about to turn around and head back home, I feel something strike my head. I drop to my knees and hold my head in pain. I try to turn around to see what it was, but I feel a kick to my side that leaves me holding my stomach. I feel another kick to my side that makes me double over. Two more hits to my head leave my vision blurry, and I fall completely to the ground. I pass out, feeling hits and kicks all over my body.
