Three Fated Hearts

Chapter 80

~Kimberly~

I sit at my vanity, getting myself ready for this sham of a ceremony. That girl has no right to take over my spot in this pack. Jenna completely failed and went against our agreement. The Colby twins are missing and are destined for the dungeon. I wish I could just go back a few weeks, and I’d make sure things went my way.

The closet door opens, and Paul walks out, looking as suave as always. His brown skin is glowing, and I notice he just got a fade-up along with his beard cleaned up. I can feel moisture start to pool between my legs. Paul’s fixing the cufflinks on this white dress shirt. He looks up, and we lock eyes. I give him a smile to be met with a frown. “You really should have joined them at the spa today.” I roll my eyes internally. We have gone over this again and again.

“They had more than enough people if you count the guards that went as well. My presence wasn’t missed.” Paul walks toward me as I put lotion on my arms.

“Why would the number of guards matter? It was Tia, her mom, and Lynn. You should have made an appearance since it’s your sons mate….if nothing else since you are the current Luna.”

“And as the current Luna, I had things to look after here.” Paul places a hand on my shoulder as I fix the bracelet on my wrist.

“You will have to accept her at some point. The boys have marked her so she isn’t going anywhere. It would go a long way for when we have grandchildren.” I will love my grandkids, but I don’t have to like their mother. Paul rubs my shoulder before reaching for his suit jacket. “Where is your necklace? I swear I haven’t seen you without that since before the twins were born.” I touch my chest to find it empty. I look around my vanity, where my jewelry is kept, but I don’t see it. I told Paul the necklace was a family heirloom that had been passed down. He never questioned me, and I never take it off.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Oh, I had to have it sent to the shop. The clasp broke.” Paul nods and walks behind me. He kisses the top of my head and straightens up.

“I’m sure they will take good care of it. I’m going to head down, see you out there.” I give him a small smile, and the minute he leaves the room, I start to tear my vanity up. Where the hell is that necklace? I know the clasp is strong, so it didn’t fall off. The last I remember seeing it, I had taken it off and placed it on my vanity, but it isn’t there.

My heartbeat is going a while a minute, and I’m starting to breathe heavier. This could be disastrous. Without the necklace, I’m wide open for that mate bond, and it’s going to be hell keeping my wolf at bay. The only bright spot is that Stuart will have his watch. That should somewhat help. I sigh, looking at my watch. I don’t have the time to keep looking. I have to get downstairs and help greet everybody. I do a final check in the mirror and get up, making my way out of the room.

~Tia~

The day of beauty really wasn’t that bad. I enjoyed the time with my mom and Lynn. I’m not surprised that Luna Kimberly didn’t join us, but I also felt kind of bad about it. I’m mated to her sons; we’re marked. Like it or not, I’m in her life for the duration. At some point, we will need to figure out how to get along for the sake of the twins as well as any children we have.

I take one last look in the mirror and head out the door. A warrior is waiting on me so he can escort me outside. We will be behind the packhouse for the ceremony. Everyone is already seated.

I’m escorted behind the stage that has been set up. I will walk onto the stage once my name is called. The twins will be sworn in first, then the Beta, and I will be last. I’m so nervous because I don’t anticipate a positive reaction from the pack once I get up there.

Alpha Paul begins to speak, and I stand, waiting for my turn…….

~Stuart~

I don’t know how much longer I can last. I’m going crazy and want nothing more than to grab Kimberly and have my way with her right now. Her scent is all around me; honeysuckle and vanilla. It’s so soft and so sweet at the same time. I wonder how sweet she tastes right now…..

I’ve been struggling the entire ceremony, trying not to keep my eyes on Kimberly. It’s been so difficult. Her dress hugs every single curve that she has: her plump a*s….her perky breasts. Her dress is a beautiful gold color and goes slightly past her knees. It isn’t skin-tight but isn’t too loose, either. It has a halter top, so her breasts are pushed together. The moment I saw her, I wanted to get out of there.

As the head warrior, I’m expected to be front and center for these events. There is no hiding behind others or staying home. I had nothing to distract me from those ebony legs that seems to go on for days or those plump lips that kept moving up and down. I kept imagining those lips wrapped around my hard d**k. I want Kimberly, and I want her bad. Caesar has been howling incessantly in my head, crying for his mate. It’s a struggle, but I must get through this ceremony without giving anything away.
