Three Fated Hearts

Chapter 39

~Tia~

Each punch I deliver is harder than the last. The bag sways with the contact. I didn’t bother to wrap my hands or put any gloves on. I came down here and just got started beating the bag as if it were someone I wanted to hurt. I beat the bag as if it were Jenna, Adela, Aida, Luna Kimberly, my dad……

The gym emptied out pretty quickly once I got started, and I’d imagine that was out of safety. I know I look like a maniac, a killer, and no one wants to get involved with that. I knew it would be a challenge to be back home, but I never considered it would be this hard. I know that I can’t give up and walk away, but I’m not sure how much more I can take.

I hate that Landon’s time with me got interrupted, especially since Lincoln was able to have his time. I just want to be with my mates and figure out how to be what I need to be for them. It seems that no matter what I do, there is always someone or something in the way. I know these things are out of my hands, but I wish I could just make it all stop.

“I guess we will need to order a new bag, huh.” I turn to see Neal leaning against the doorway with his arms crossed. He has a smirk on his face, and I guess this would be considered a funny view.

I throw one last punch and stand up straight. “Hey Neal. I didn’t notice you there.”

“Yeah I got that. I think the ceiling could fall on your head, and you wouldn’t have noticed that either.” I laugh, a laugh that I desperately needed. “So what has you so riled up?”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s just something I will have to deal with…….and I will.” Neal nods and pushes off of the doorway. He walks over to me and grabs my hands. Neal examines my hands and shakes his head.

“When you decide to use your fists, you really should wrap them up or wear gloves.”

“I know. I just came down here on a whim and didn’t think much about taking those precautions.” I pull my hands from his as if the twins were watching me. I know he is just being friendly, but it can be easily misinterpreted.

“I think you need to get those weapons looked at. Let me walk you to the clinic.”

“You really don’t need to do that. I can get there.” Neal smiles at me.

“I know you are capable, but I won’t be able to live with myself if I sent my future Luna off on her own. You know anything can happen out there,” he says with a wink. I shake my head and follow Neal out of the gym.

~Adela~

I knew it was good to have Neal help me with this. He is making headway without really trying. It will be easy to have everyone think that my dear sister is being a bit too friendly around those who are not her mate. Eventually, I will have caused a rift between the love birds and Aida, and I can move in from there.

I decide to head to the training area to get some practice in. Maybe I can spare a bit and have some fun after. Neal probably won’t be at the clinic that long, and he deserves a reward for his hard work. I may not be fated to Neal, but he is good for a good time. I knew he will eventually find his mate, and I’m pretty okay with that. I figure even when that happens, I can still get him to do what I want. I will be the Luna, after all.

“Adela, honey.” I look up and see daddy walking toward me. I wonder where he was coming from since he isn’t dressed for training.

“Hey daddy. Where have you been?”

“I just finished speaking with the Luna.” That makes sense. He did say he would talk to her to get her to honor our original agreement.

“What’d she say?” Daddy sighs and rubs the back of his neck.

“What she said doesn’t matter. We need to have a workable to plan, and I think I know what it should be.” I nod, and he takes my hand. We head to the training center where my dad has an office. He has to keep track of some pack business that pertains to warriors. I sit across from my dad and wait for him to enlighten me. “We need to find a way to make this Jenna person irrelevant.”

“How do we do that? She is the daughter of an Alpha.” Dad sits back in his chair and crosses his fingers under his chin.

“The daughter of an Alpha. We all know what that means; she’s spoiled. She probably hasn’t had the training that you have had. If you can get her to challenge you, you can eliminate her.”

“Daddy, I don’t to kill her nor do I want her to die. I just want her to go home.”

“Well, that is all great, but I still say challenge her. What do you think the twins would say if they saw how weak she is? You and your sister are the strongest here, and that, alone, makes you a great Luna. If you push her, get under her skin enough so she will challenge you…….who knows how great that will make you look.” Daddy has a point. The daughter of an Alpha is expected to act a certain way; carry themselves a certain way. It would be horrible if that Jenna starts to act out of character. What if she starts to bring shame to her father’s name? Maybe if I push her enough, I can get her to be off balance, and she can eliminate herself.

“Yeah I think that will work, daddy. I can’t wait to try that.” Daddy smiles, and I smile back at him. Getting rid of Jenna may end up being easier than I thought.
