Chapter 81
Three Fated Hearts

The ceremony was amazing, and the celebration is in full swing. Landon, Lincoln, and I are receiving
well wishes. The music is playing, and the drinks are flowing. Tables are set up all around, and pack
members enjoy their time together and with the guests.
Lynn comes over with her family in tow. âSurprise, b***h!" I grab her and give her a bear hug. I pull
back and look between her and Mark.
"What the hell, guys? When did this change get decided?â Mark gives me a sly smile.
âThis morning, I spoke to the twins and told them that as grateful as I was for the honor to be Beta,
it would be hard to do since I would be at an entirely different pack.â
âYeah, he's going to be the Alpha.â Jenna walks up to Mark and wraps her hand around his arm
"Wait, Jenna I thought you would take over from your father,â Landon asks. Jenna smiles and shakes
her head.
âTo be honest, I never really wanted to be Alpha. I have trained for both, but have trained harder for
Luna. I always just wanted to meet my mate and hand him the reigns, provided that he was a good
man. I am perfectly happy in a supporting role.â Mark rolls his eyes and clears his throat.
I get to the SUV and open the back. The car is unlocked to make it easier for us to load. We have
been working on this all day. I'm pretty sure the keys are inside somewhere, but I can worry about
that later. I place the times in the back and feel something on my ankle. I reach down and run my
hand over my ankle before repositioning the items in the back.
I step back and pull the trunk down. I turn to head back to the celebration, but my leg isn't moving.
My right leg is stuck in place, and that's weird. It's the leg I felt a pinch in, but nothing was there
when I checked. I tug and pull, but my leg doesnât move. I have no idea what's going on. I try to
mindlink someone, but I seem to be blocked out.
My leg is feeling numb, and my left leg is joining. Damn, did something bite me, something
poisonous? My body feels as if it's shutting down. My vision is blurring and getting dark. The
numbness feels like it's traveling throughout my body, and I wonder how long until I fall out. I hear
clicks, and the trunk opens in front of me. The last thing I can make out is a dark shape coming out
of the SUV.

F**K! This has been the longest ceremony and now the celebration, and I just can't deal. My mind is
swimming, and my wolf, Angie, is in a frenzy. It has been hell this evening, and it isn't getting better.
The minute I saw Stuart, his scent knocked me out; musk and pine. Such a manly scent, and boy, did
the look match. Stuart wore a black suit that fit him like a glove, muscles bulging. His dark blue shirt
had about three buttons unbuttoned, giving a peek at his chiseled chest. The minute I scented him, I
started to get wet, and it didn't get better after laying my eyes on him.
Angie kept calling out for her mate, and I had to fight the urge to keep a neutral face throughout
the ceremony. I imagined running my fingers down his chest, popping the other buttons. I imagined
how those rock-hard thighs would feel against my a*s, his hands on my b****t..__let's just say it took
everything I had to keep my arousal at bay. I didn't want anyone to know I was being a horndog
throughout the ceremony.
I'm walking around the ceremony, trying to be a good host, but it's hard to do. I keep smelling him
throughout the crowd, and it's driving me crazy. I can feel my n*****s harden, and I just want to rip
my clothes off and sink myself onto him. S**T! I really canât do this right now.
I look around the crowd, and everyone is eating and talking. I'm sure I can sneak out of here, and no
one would notice. I slowly make my way to the back door of the packhouse, making small talk with
people as I go. I finally make it to the door, taking one last look around before I open it. I feel eyes
on me, and it's making my center wet. I don't look; I just walk through the door, making sure I swing
my a*s as I go. Maybe I can get something out of this ceremony after all.
