Three Fated Hearts

Chapter 76

~Adela~

F**K!! What the f**k just happened? One minute I’m close to getting Landon back, and the next, I’m hiding from my pack. I’m grateful that I have always kept a few warriors in my inner circle. I was given a heads-up that they were tasked to find Aida and me and throw us in the cells. Can you imagine me in the cells?!

F**king Neal! I knew he would spill the beans if given a chance. Now the twins know that I put him up to making the phone call that took them away from Portia. I’m sure they suspect that we either orchestrated her attack or attacked her. I wish we had killed her. Had we done that, we wouldn’t be in this mess right now. The twins would have grieved, but they would have taken us as Lunas since they would have needed to have someone by their sides. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

I’ve been on the run for days and days. It was a task getting off our territory without being seen. I haven’t gone too far from the territory. I don’t know how much longer I need to live like this, but it isn’t easy. I’m not built to go, living like a rogue. I will return once I have a plan in place. There is no way I’m going to let this stand. I can’t even reach out to my dad because I’m sure they are monitoring his communication. He has gotten a few messages to me along with some money. I can always count on my dad.

I have no idea where Aida is. I know she hasn’t been captured, but that’s all I know. Our link has been blocked since before all of this even happened. I have no idea what’s been going on with her, but I can’t worry about that now. I have to survive what’s going on, so I need to be able to focus. Once I get settled, I will look for Aida. I’m sure she’s okay right now. If something had happened to her, I would have felt the loss. I just hope she is being as careful as I am.

I check my surroundings and take a minute to listen. I hear nothing other than the hustle and bustle of the city. I lift my nose in the air and take a breath. There are so many scents, being around these

humans, but the one thing I don’t smell is wolves. I zip up my hoodie, pull the hood lower on my head, and walk across the street.

~Aida~

The rustle of the leaves is unsettling, but I don’t move a muscle. I hear footsteps and hold my breath in an attempt to make myself invisible. I listen to the footsteps retreat, and I make a move. I knew it was a risk to go through the forest, but I had no other choice. I have to get in and get these things for my plan to be complete. I can’t get scared now; there’s too much on the line.

I quietly run through the woods; I step over logs and twigs. If I land too heavily, I could make a noise I don’t want to make. I stop at the treeline and peer out to the land in front of me. It’s empty, and I can make a straight line to my destination. I need to make sure I’m quick enough not to get caught. Getting caught will kill everything I have been working on, and I’ve put too much time in to do that.

I take a deep breath and take off. My feet barely graze the ground underneath me. My lungs are starting to burn, but I can’t stop. I make it to my destination and pull the window up, praying that it will give way. Luck is on my side tonight, and I’m grateful. I bet all of those years of training are coming in handy with this task. I used to complain to Adela all the time about the training, but it was useful in the end.

Adela……I miss her. My twin and I have been estranged for a while now, and I hate it. I just need to do this, and once it’s complete, I can be with my sister again. I’m doing this for us, and I know she’ll appreciate the effort.

I step through the window and head upstairs. I stop on the stairs to listen to my surroundings. There’s no noise, so I’m pretty sure that I’m alone. I slip into the room and take what I’ve come to get. I head back downstairs and out the window, closing it behind me.

I set out across the land again. This location is going to be much harder, but I have to make it there. “I know,” I whisper harshly. “I need to make it over there so I can get it. I don’t need you hassling me.” I swear I don’t need to the backseat driving. I know what I’m doing.

My plan was almost foiled when I found out warriors were looking for me. I had to lay low for a few days to gather a new plan. I just need to get through tonight successfully, and I can continue with my original plan. “Would you shut the f**k up?! I got this, get out of my head!” I stop behind a tree and listen. There is no noise, and I know I need to do this now, or my moment will be lost. I take a look around to confirm that I’m alone. I quickly take off into the night. It’s time to finish this and get what’s mine.
