Three Fated Hearts

Chapter 19

~Lincoln~

My neck and back hurt. I sit up and stretch out, looking around the room. I fell asleep at Tia’s side, and sleeping like this is uncomfortable. I look across from me, and Landon is sitting in the chair, head back, snoring lightly. He has Tia’s hand in his, and Tia is still asleep. I wonder if she’s woken up at all since we have been in here with her.

Andricia is back.

Have you spoken to her?

Yes. She has made it back, and she is healing Tia now. That is a relief, for sure. Tia’s wolf is back, and Tia should be healed in no time.

L…..L, wake up.

Hmm….what is it? Landon pops up in his chair, looking around frantically. I guess I shouldn’t have woken him up like this.

Everything is okay. I just wanted to tell you that Brutus has contacted Andricia. She is back and healing Tia. Landon takes a deep breath and sits back in his chair. He stretches a bit before sitting back in the chair.

That’s good to hear. The doctor said it would be best if her wolf came back and helped to heal her, though her healing is going well. Maybe she will be able to talk next time.

She woke up?!

Yes, she was up for a bit. The doctor came to check on her to make sure everything was going well. Damn! I can’t believe I missed Tia being awake. I have always been a heavy sleeper, while Landon will

wake up with the wind change. I look at Tia and stroke the back of her hand. I have had feelings for her for so long that I never once thought I’d be lucky enough to have her as a mate or even have her at all. Brother, we need to take her home. She can’t stay out here…..we need to get her to go back.

I know…..I know……. The truth of the matter is that we need to take over the pack. It has been a long enough wait for us to be ready. We’ve been ready for a while, but we wanted to train and look for our mate. We have her now, and we need to push forward. The issue is the pack when it comes to Tia. I understand her reasoning for staying away from the pack, but we have to go back. Being back on packlands will also allow us to keep her safe, better than her being all the way out here.

“Dad said that he was in our corner and he will help us in any way possible to make sure TIa is comfortable.”

“Make sure I’m comfortable with what?”

Landon and Lincoln both look at me with shock. I guess they didn’t expect me to wake up yet; hell, I didn’t expect to wake up yet, either. Andricia came back, and that has helped greatly to heal me. I’m glad to be alive right now, that’s for sure.

“Baby, you’re awake and talking. We were so scared when we found you.” Landon strokes my cheek while talking to me, while Lincoln squeezes my hand.

“We thought we lost you. I couldn’t handle losing you when I just found you.” I squeeze Lincoln’s hand back. I still can’t believe he has liked me for so many years but never said anything. I would have never thought that either of these gorgeous men would have known who I was. I definitely would have never thought that I’d be mated to them.

“Baby, what happened?” I have been trying to think about this, but I don’t know what truly happened.

“I….I don’t know. There was a knock on the door, but no one was there. When I opened the door, I kept hearing someone say my name, but no on was there. I followed my name all the way to the woods. Before I could react, I was being hit, repeatedly. After a while, I lost consciousness. I have no idea who it was or why.” I can feel the anger pouring out of Lincoln and Landon. I rub their hands in an attempt to calm them down. The last thing we need is for them to lose control and allow their wolves to take over.

“I’m just so grateful you made it through that,” Lincoln says while kissing my hand. I smile at this but remember what I heard them say before.

“Back to my question though. What is your dad going to make sure I’m comfortable with?” Lincoln and Landon look at each other before looking back at me. I have a feeling this is going to be something that I’m not going to like. Lincoln sighs and turns to me.

“I know you have reservations, and I completely understand them. We….we need to go back to the pack.” My heartbeat starts to increase, and the monitors start to beep more. Go back to the pack? Go back to where my father and sisters are, the ones who hate me and don’t want to see me with my mate?

“Baby, please calm down. We understand what we are asking, but it’s important. I already talked to dad, and he said he would support us in any and every way. Once Lincoln and I take over, we can make whatever changes that we need. We really need to be able to protect you, and we can’t do that with you out here.” I close my eyes and take a few deep breaths. I understand what they are saying, but I can’t see myself going back there to live. I have been away for so long on purpose, and I don’t know if I can live there again.

“Tia….Tia can you look at us?” Lincoln’s voice is pleading, and I can’t really deny him. I open my eyes and see them both look at me with concern.

Andricia, I don’t think I can do this. I can’t go back to the pack.

We have to. We have to be with our mates. Andricia is right. I can’t imagine being without the twins, and I can’t see myself rejecting them. If I want to be with them, I have to go back to the pack. I have to go back to the place that brought me so much pain.

I can feel tears drop from my eyes, and each twin is wiping them away with their thumbs. I close my eyes again and take several deep breaths. When I open my eyes, the twins are looking at me but not speaking. “I….I guess I can try.” I don’t know how this work, but I guess if I want my mates, I have to give it a try. I will have to go back to the Emerald Lake Pack, and it won’t be easy.
