Chapter 53

~Tia~

What a day! First, I wake up to a delicious few rounds with my mates; then I have a crazy serious talk

with Mark. Who could have guessed that his mate would end up being Jenna, the pain in my a*s?

After speaking with Mark, I decided to take a walk and reflect on everything. Being back home has

been a whirlwind, starting with finding out I'm mated to the twins, the future Alphas of the pack. I

would have never imagined this to be the case, but here we are.

So many things have gone on in such a short amount of time. There are so many changes in my life,

but I guess that's what it's about. The important thing now is to figure out what to do and how to

roll with the punches.

I walk for some time, not really keeping track of the time or looking to end up at any particular

destination. I watched pack members so about with their everyday lives, not many sparing me a

glance. The sun starts to set on me, and the view is beautiful.

Lincoln, Landon.....did you guys know about this announcement?

No. They respond in unison, and I close my eyes briefly. I wish I had known this is what I would be

walking into. I would have prepared myself.

“Landon and Lincoln will be taking over as Alphas of this pack, and I know they will be great. They

will be running this pack with the lovely Portia Colby, their fated mate.” The room erupted in

grumbles and whispers. I could focus and hear what is being said, but the truth is that I really don't

want to know. Alpha Paul clears his throat, and everyone becomes silent again. “We are lucky to

have these three take over, and I know things will go smoothly with them in charge.” I hear a huff

and notice Luna Kimberly's jaw clench. She is working overtime to keep her reaction at bay. “We will

have the ceremony in a week's time, so I want everyone to be prepared to welcome our new Alphas

and Luna.” Alpha Paul looks around the room, but I keep my eyes focused on him, too scared to see

the reactions in the room.

The back door slams open, and an angry Jenna comes stomping into the dining room. She is

oblivious to the silence in the room and the fact that Alpha Paul is addressing the pack. She

marches right up to Mark and slaps him. Lynn jumps up and starts to growl, but Mark puts his hand

up in front of her, silently asking her to stay put.

“How dare you! Who the f**k do you think you are? You are nothing compared to me.” Mark makes

no move or noise. He just looks at Jenna with an icy glare. “You don’t get to reject me. If anyone

hands out a rejection, it will be me rejecting you. I DO NOT accept your rejection, I won't give you

the satisfaction. You WILL accept me, whether you like it or not!”
