Three Fated Hearts by LNC novel Chapter 85

~Aida~

Never did I think I would be able to see my sister again before we disappeared. I have to admit that I’ve missed her so much. We are twins who have always done everything together. There has never really been a time that we have been apart until recently. Maybe I can get her to go with us. I would love to have my sister by my side. “Come and sit down. How have you been?”

“You heard me, Aida. What have you done? Why is Lincoln here and tied up?” I turn to Lincoln and blow him a kiss. Maybe I should have gotten Landon too. That probably would have made my sister happy. Perhaps we can get him before we leave tomorrow night.

“I got my man. Wasn’t that the plan……to get our men back? Well, mine is sitting right there.” I look back at Lincoln, and my smile grows while I imagine how our life will be once we get away from here. We are going to be so happy.

Adela walks over to Lincoln, looking him over. I watch her movements while she walks around him. “She won’t,” I whisper. “She’s my sister and she wants me to be happy.”

“Did you say something?” Adela looks at me with her hands on her hips. I clear my throat.

“No, I didn’t say anything. Anyways, maybe we can snatch Landon for you tomorrow night. We can all head out together.” Adela eyes Lincoln once more before making her way to me. She sits in a chair next to mine.

“Tomorrow night? Head out where? Why is Lincoln wearing daddy’s watch?” Oh, Adela must not know about dad and the Luna. I wonder how she’ll take the news.

“Yes, tomorrow night. We are going to go far from here tomorrow night and start our lives together. It’s everything we discussed. I mean, we won’t be the Alpha and Luna to Emerald Lake, but I’m sure we can create our own pack when we get to where we’re going. You and Landon should joining us so we can do it just like we always said we would.” I lean in closer to Adela. “The watch is another story, and you will never believe what I found out.” Adela looks at me, waiting for me to tell, but I hear Lincoln huff behind me. I don’t know if he should know about this. As it is, I will have to keep him subdued for a while, and this news might make it that much harder to do. “I’ll tell you later. The watch, actually, is a talisman. It keeps the fated mates from feeling betrayal and dampens the bond between the wolves. Eventually, they will forget their fated mates all together. It doesn’t take long at all; then it’s like the bond never happened!” I remember the necklace, jumping up with a clap. I head to my duffel bag to get the little bag I keep the talismans in. “When we get Landon, I have another talisman for him. He will forget all about Portia and, eventually, only have eyes for you. This is perfect! I’m so glad I got both of them.” I reach into the bag and pull out the necklace. Adela reaches out to touch it and looks at me.

“Uh, that actually sounds like a good plan. I have some things I need to do so I should do that. I will be back, and we can figure out how to get Landon. Do you know where we are going to end up?” I nod my head enthusiastically. I’m even more excited than I already was.

“Yes, I have everything ready. I have enough wolfsbane to keep Landon and Lincoln calm until they forget about the mate bond. Everything is perfect.” Adela stands up and hugs me.

“Ok. I will go, but I will be back sometime in the morning. I just need to get a few things. Aida, this is going to be great.” Adela kisses me on my cheek and walks to the door. She looks back at Lincoln and me, then closes the door behind her.

“See, I told you it would be good. She’s my sister and she wants me to be happy.” I walk over to Lincoln and sit at his feet. I move between his legs and lay my head on his lap, taking a deep breath and closing my eyes. I should get some rest. Tomorrow will be a busy day.
