Three Fated Hearts by LNC novel Chapter 87

~Tia~

I move around; the sun is starting to shine in the room. I groan, feeling sore and cold. My head is hurting, and Andricia is silent. I move my left hand, and it hits something hard. I turn my head, and Landon is sleeping next to me. “That hurt a bit.”

“I’m sorry.” I turn to the right, and the bed is empty and cold. That’s when it hits me; everything that happened last night hits me, and I’m sad. My mate, my Lincoln, is missing. I feel like a piece of me is missing, and I don’t know what to do.

“We will find him. I feel incomplete as well.” I sigh and snuggle into Landon as he holds me tight. I didn’t even change last night, but I’m only in my bra and panties. Landon must have taken my dress off. He is so sweet and would definitely do something like that. I can feel my emotions taking over, but I don’t want to spend the morning crying. I need to figure out how to find my man.

Landon jerks up, causing me to tumble off of him. Thank Goddess, I sleep in the middle, or I would have hurt myself. “What the hell, Landon?!” His eyes are clouded over. When they focus again, he whips his head to me.

“We have to go. There may be some news about Lincoln.” It only takes a second for things to register. I jump off the bed and run into the closet, looking for clothes to throw on. I opt for a simple pair of jeans, a tank top, and one of Lincoln’s hoodies. I need his scent close to me right now. I throw on a pair of flip-flops and am ready to go. Landon has on a pair of sweats with some Nikes, and he grabs my hand, hurrying out of the room.

We make it downstairs and out of the front of the packhouse in no time. We were moving so fast I was afraid we would tumble down the stairs, but anytime I was close to doing that, Landon was there to steady me. We head out to the side of the packhouse, where I see someone on their knees with their hands up. Warriors are surrounding them.

“Alpha, Luna. She refused to move until she spoke to you Alpha Landon.” I move behind Landon and the circle parts to let us through. I suck in my breath once I notice who it is, Adela. Adela knows something about Lincoln? Was she a part of whatever happened? What is she going to demand in return for her information? Is this even anything other than a scam?

So many questions are rolling around in my head that I almost missed the growl that left her and was directed toward me. I focus on what’s going on and look at Adela. She is looking right at my neck. I guess she notices the marks, but she shouldn’t be surprised at all. This was going to happen no matter what anyone tried to do to us.

I stare at Adela, waiting for her to speak. Her glare at me would be uncomfortable if there weren’t more important things going on. The waiting is starting to piss me off, though. “Well?!”

“I requested to speak with Alpha Landon, not the floozy he calls a mate.” No, this b***h didn’t! I swear if she didn’t, maybe have important information about my mate, I would rip her damn throat out. I’m so sick of her and her s**t, especially after discovering what she did to me.

“ENOUGH!” Landon roars, causing everyone to drop in submission except for me. He looks around before letting his eyes settle on Adela. “Tia is my mate and my Luna. PERIOD! Anything you want to say to me, you will say in front of her. If you hadn’t mentioned my brother, the warriors would have forced you into the cells, and I’m sure you know how that would have gone. I don’t have time for you games. What about my brother?” Adela looks fearful, but she hides it well. She gives me one more scowl, then turns her attention to Landon.

“I know where he is.” Landon crosses his arms over his chest and starts to tap his foot, waiting. The silence is becoming unbearable As we all wait for the rest of her information.
