Chapter 31

~Tia~

Landon looks stuck, Luna Kimberly looks smug, and who the hell is Jenna? I can feel Andricia pacing

in my head, her anger growing. The way Jenna is looking at Landon is pissing her off. She is looking

at him as if she is hungry and he is the meal.

“It's nice to meet you, Jenna. I met your father not too long ago. He is a great Alpha.” Jenna glances

at me quickly and moves past me to stand in front of Landon.

"Hi there, handsome. How have you been?” Landon looks at Jenna and then at me, but he doesn't

respond. Jenna steps closer to him and slides her hand down his chest. “Cat got your tongue?” A

growl rips from my throat, and I can feel the blood rushing to my head. It feels like my head will

explode at any minute. Just exactly who the f**k does she think she is?

Landon steps away from Jenna while pushing her hand away from him. Landon looks at me with a

pleading look, but I have nothing for him. She is beyond disrespectful, but I've never been so

compelled to respond to such behavior before now. I turn to the door and catch the Luna's face; she

looks way too giddy. I guess it's decision time. I can give into my feelings and react, which will feed

Luna Kimberly's foolishness. On the other hand, I can play as if I'm unbothered and make my mark.

Think, Tia....you have to make a choice.

I turn to Landon and walk up to him, wedging myself between him and Jenna. I place my hand on

the back of Landon’s neck and let it trail down to his chest. I press myself against him and place my

lips gently on his. I can feel Landon suck in air, and he places his hands on my hips. Landon pulls me

in impossibly close. Landon presses his lips against mine with more passion, and I run my hands up

and down his chest. Before he could plunge his tongue into my mouth, I pull back and give him my

sexiest smile.

“I'm going to get cleaned up. Find me later?” Landon nods, looking like a love-sick puppy. I nod to

Luna Kimberly and walk to the front door without sparing Jenna a glance. I refuse to let Jenna have

any type of power over my life. I have enough to deal with that I won't add Jenna to the mix as well.

"How's Lincoln doing?” Damn, I forgot that Jenna was standing near me. I really need to get out of

here.

Rather than respond, I turn away from Jenna and start to head to the front door. “Landon! I know I

raised you better than that. Answer Jenna.” I hear Jenna chuckle behind me.

“It's okay Luna Kimberly. I'm sure Landon needs to run and check on his precious mate.” Yeah, this

isn't going to work. I turn around and head back to where Jenna is standing.

“Let's get something straight. I don't know why your here because I didn’t invite you, but you are on

my packlands. You will not disrespect my pack, pack members, or my mate. If that was your plan,

you can just turn right around and get back into your car.” Jenna's mouth is hanging open, and I'm

sure she’s never been spoken to like that before. I start to head to the front door. My mom reaches

out to grab me, but I step away from her grasp. “Mom, I suggest you don't push it.” I head into the

packhouse to wait for my brother.

~Lincoln~

As if things weren't already messed up around here, Jenna has to be thrown into the mix. I bet my

mom brought her here in an effort to get us to walk away from Tia. What she fails to understand is

not only are we not at all interested in Jenna, but we aren't giving up Tia for anything. She is our

fated mate, and that means everything.

Jenna tried her hardest to seduce Landon and me while we were staying at her pack. She would

always be so sweet and innocent in front of her family, but once they were gone, she became her

real self. Jenna is selfish, mean, and a bit of a narcissist. I could never be with a woman like that,

even if she were my fated mate.

I walk into the packhouse from the backdoor, adjusting the basketball shorts that I grabbed once I

shifted back into human form. My walk through the dining room and kitchen lead me to the stairs

and a very angry Landon.

I slap my hand on his back, and he gives me a terrifying look. “Calm down, brother. We will figure

this out.” I don't respond, but I head upstairs with Landon. I decide to use my nose to see if I can

catch her scent. It's strongest on the second floor, so I head out that way. I sniff my way up and

down the hallway. I finally catch Tia's scent coming from father’s office.

Tia is sitting on the couch in his office, knees on elbows. I drop my speed as I walk closer to Tia, not

wanting to scare her off. Landon is next to me, and we stop in front of Tia. She doesn't look up or

move at all. I look at Landon, and he shrugs his shoulders. “Is the b***h still here.” I'm sure she’s

referring to Jenna.

“Uh yes, Jenna's still here,” Landon says quickly.

Tia looks up at the two of us, and there is venom shooting out of her eyes. “We need to talk..."
