Three Fated Hearts by LNC novel Chapter 27

~Tia~

Goddess, it’s so warm right now. I wonder if my furnace is broken again. This happened once before, and I had to call the super to fix it. It was way too warm in my apartment, and I was walking around practically naked. I guess I will have to go through all that again.

I sigh and stretch; well, I try to stretch until I realize that I can hardly move. I open my eyes and remember that I’m not at my apartment. I moved out and am now back at Emeral Lake Pack. I can hear the soft hum of my mates breathing around me, and I settle back into the pillow. “Are you okay?” I jump a bit, not thinking anyone else was up with me.

“Landon, why are you awake?” Landon nuzzles his nose in my neck and tightens his hold on me. Lincoln is lying on my shoulder, sleeping away.

“I’m a pretty light sleeper. I felt you as soon as you woke up.” I start to turn toward Landon, and Lincoln wiggles next to me. He moves his head off of my shoulder, and I fully turn to Landon. We stare into each other’s eyes while he strokes my back.

Landon’s eyes glaze over for a bit then he refocuses. “Training calls, love.” I nod and kiss Landon sweetly before he gets out of bed. He leans over and smacks Lincoln on the head, causing him to growl and sit up quickly. I try to stifle my laugh as Lincoln gets out of bed, grumbling along the way. They both get dressed and kiss me goodbye.

I stay in bed for a bit before deciding to get dressed and head to training. I can’t hide in the room forever. I will have to deal with this pack, including anyone who doesn’t want me to be here. I put my braids in a high ponytail and throw on a sports bra along with leggings. I tie on a pair of athletic shoes and head out of the room.

I make it outside without running into Luna Kimberly, much to my relief. I make my way to the training grounds and find everyone hard at work. Lincoln and Landon are walking around, watching everyone spar. They are barking orders and correcting positions. I see Mark and Lynn sparing with people. I notice my father on the field, but he doesn’t look my way. I’m sure, at some point, we will cross paths, but I’m not looking forward to it.
