Three Fated Hearts by LNC novel Chapter 75

~Stuart~

I’m summoned to the pack office as if I’m some schoolboy about to be reprimanded by the principal. It irks me that these boys think so highly of themselves. They feel they are above everyone else and untouchable. I wasn’t even happy when my twins expressed their interest in them. I went along with it because they deserve the best, and having the Luna title gives me that.

As I walk into the room, I see all eyes on me—Paul with Landon, Lincoln at his desk, and Mark on the couch. I have no idea what the hell they want from me, but they better make it quick. I have things to do, and I’m still pissed about my mate being allowed to be away from me. “You wanted to see me…….” I make eye contact with Paul, hoping he will speak quickly.

“No, not me. My sons called for you. Have a seat, please.” As if I didn’t know it was his bratty sons who called for me. I pretend to act as if I’m some complaint member of the pack when I really just want to rip their throats out. I make my way to the chair in front of Landon and have a seat. No one really says anything; everyone just looks at each other.

“Well?! Is this about my mate? Are you apologizing for interfering in matters that aren’t your damn concern?” I can hear an intake of breath, and I figure it’s Mark. I’m sure he lets them intimidate him all the time, but not me. I can take them in a heartbeat and would love to prove as much. A low growl rips into the room, which causes a smirk to appear on my face. Anything to get under their skin makes me beyond happy.

“We want to talk to you about the girls and update you on some things.” Although Lincoln is speaking, I keep my eyes on Landon. He seems to be dealing with something right now, making him the weaker twin. If I need to, he will be the one to break.

“Okay.” Lincoln sighs, and it’s filled with irritation. Another point for me, none for them.

“We have recently come across some vital information regarding the girls. Adela had a warrior call us to return to teh territory under the guise that there was trouble. When we arrived, everything was fine.”

“Okay, and…..” Did they really just call me here for some stupid gossip? A throat clears next to me, but I refuse to take my eyes off Landon.

“Watch yourself, Stuart. I may still be Alpha, but the boys are soon to take my place. They are to be given the same respect as me.” The funny thing is that I don’t even respect him. He is weak to me, and I could do his job better than he does it. I simply nod so they can hurry and get to the point.

“The issue is, while we were gone, Tia was purposely attacked and almost killed,” I chuckle.

“Is that what she calls herself….’Tia’ ?” Landon’s nostrils flare, and that makes me chuckle more.

“WE CONCLUDED that the phone call was meant to get us out of the area so TIA could be attacked.” Where are they going with this? “It’s probable that the girls orchestrated the attack some way or even did it themselves.” I shoot out of my chair, making it fall on its side with a bang. I slam my fist on the desk and growl.
