Three Fated Hearts by LNC novel Chapter 81

~Tia~

The ceremony was amazing, and the celebration is in full swing. Landon, Lincoln, and I are receiving well wishes. The music is playing, and the drinks are flowing. Tables are set up all around, and pack members enjoy their time together and with the guests.

Lynn comes over with her family in tow. “Surprise, b***h!” I grab her and give her a bear hug. I pull back and look between her and Mark.

“What the hell, guys? When did this change get decided?” Mark gives me a sly smile.

“This morning, I spoke to the twins and told them that as grateful as I was for the honor to be Beta, it would be hard to do since I would be at an entirely different pack.”

“Yeah, he’s going to be the Alpha.” Jenna walks up to Mark and wraps her hand around his arm.

“Wait, Jenna I thought you would take over from your father,” Landon asks. Jenna smiles and shakes her head.

“To be honest, I never really wanted to be Alpha. I have trained for both, but have trained harder for Luna. I always just wanted to meet my mate and hand him the reigns, provided that he was a good man. I am perfectly happy in a supporting role.” Mark rolls his eyes and clears his throat.

“I’m not sure what she’s talking about, but she will be working with me. We will both take part in running the pack. It’s her legacy, I just want to help out the best way I can.” Mark turns to me. “But, yes, I will be the Alpha.”

“Well congrats-a-f**king-lations! I’m super proud of you, but I’m going to miss you so much!” I wrap my arms around his waist and lay my head on his chest. Mark kisses the top of my head while hugging me back.

“I’m going to miss you too, but we will see each other as much as we can. You’re my best friend. I won’t be able to go through life without you.” I give Mark another squeeze before stepping back.

“Jenna, I still don’t like you much, but take care of my bestie. If you don’t-” Jenna holds her hands up in surrender.

“I know, and if I were to hurt him, I would gladly welcome whatever were to happen. You may not like me now, but I’m going to work on winning you over.” Jenna gives me a nod, and Mark takes her to get some food.

“She isn’t that bad, you know. I’m pretty sure she will make my brother happy.” I nod and get bombarded with a new group of people congratulating us on our new titles.

~Lincoln~

We have been chit-chatting and thanking people for a while. We finally had to take a break so Tia could eat. I know her feet have to be killing her, and I plan to give her a massage as soon as I sit down. I just have a few things I need to take care of.

L, what’s left to do? I can handle it while you and Tia eat.

You need to eat, too, Linc.
