Three Fated Hearts by LNC

~Landon~

We, somehow, made it to the bed. We aren't sleeping, just trying to catch our breaths. That was amazing and tiring at the same time. Marking can take a lot out of you. Marked.....we are marked. Can you believe it, Goliath? She marked us. Goliath huffs, laying on his back, trying to rest. I can't help but chuckle at the sight. I'm a marked wolf. Not only am I marked, but I was able to mark her. Wait....I'm marked. Tia marked me. After everything that happened today, Tia marked me. Why? Why the hell did she do that? I can hear all of us breathing, and I know that no one is asleep. “Why?”

“Uh....L, is everything okay?”

“Why, Tia?"

"What do you mean?” Her soft voice is a bit raspy and sounds like she may have let sleep take over at any minute.

"After everything that happened today, why did you mark me? There is no way that I'm deserving of that honor. Why did you mark me? Why did you forgive me?” My heart is pounding in my chest. Goliath is growling in my mind, hating that I'm ruining the moment. I probably am, but I have to know. I have to have an understanding; it's just who I am.

The thought of my sister in distress causes laughter to bubble up in my chest. I have to work hard to keep it inside. I don't want people looking at me funny. Movement catches my eye, and I sit up quickly, hoping that it's the twins. I turn my head slightly but am disappointed. It's just some packhouse Omegas. It's their conversation that intrigues me.

"Guess what I just saw?”

“Huh?”

“I was just upstairs cleaning up. Guess what I just saw!”

“What is it?"

“The twins....the twins are marked!” I heard nothing else that the two Omegas were discussing. There is a noticeable ringing in my ears, and I can feel my legs getting weak. Marked....they are marked.....marked.......

I can’t seem to focus on anything. How the hell did this happen? How did all of my planning go to s**t? My breathing is becoming erratic, and my vision is slightly blurring. I have to get out of here; I have to get out of the packhouse.

I look around and see that I'm alone. I start to head to the doorway and pop my head out to see who's around. I find no one, so I quickly dart to the front door, closing it quietly behind me. I don't know what to do or where to go. Everything is messed up, and I don't know how to fix it. I thought I had it; I thought I had Landon where I wanted him. This should have been a no-brainer.

So they are still together. They aren't just still together, but they are marked. This completes the mating bond, and I'm not sure what to do. One thing is for sure, if they talk to Neal, he might give me up. I have to figure out how to keep that from happening. I run into the woods so I can come up with a plan.
