Three Fated Hearts by LNC

~Kimberly~

No, no, NO! This can't be happening. It can't be....Jenna is mated to Mark?! There is no way. There is no way I brought her here to remove Portia; instead, she has found her fated mate. And what the hell is Paul thinking? He wants to have the ceremony this fast? He is really entrusting our sons with this pack when their mate is Portia?! This can't stand.

The dining room is dead quiet. Jenna is glaring at Mark, huffing and puffing. Mark is looking very unimpressed and passive. Lynn looks as if she wants to rip Jenna's head off. Neither Landon, Lincoln, nor Portia looks surprised at this turn of events, so I wonder how long they have known this to be the case.

I look at Paul, and he seems surprised and confused. He keeps looking between Mark and Jenna as if waiting for some more news to drop.

Jenna has made clear that she wants her mate to choose her, so that should mean she won't bother the twins anymore. That leaves my Adela and Aida to return to their original plan, getting the boys to drop Portia and claim them.

I watch as Jenna leaves the room and everyone goes back to eating. Kimberly looks distracted, and I decide to use this to my advantage. I leave the dining room and wait in a closet in the hallway for Kimberly to walk past. I know her well enough to know that she won't be finishing her meal. I just need to be patient.

It doesn't take long for me to sense her presence. I grab her wrist and pull her in as she walks past the closet. I quickly close the door and slip my watch off, placing it into my pocket. I put my hand on Kimberly's face, letting the sparks jump everywhere. Kimberly breathes in sharply, and I chuckle at her reaction. I bend down so that our lips are barely touching. “It looks like your plan isn't going very well now, is it?” A growl erupts from her chest, and I laugh. “Now, now, don't be bitter. You had to have known that I wouldn't let it stand. This way, no one is hurt, and I get what I want.”

“Why am I here?"

“Aww, come on, Kim. I know you've missed me. I've missed you.” I slide my hand down her body until I get to her center. I part her legs with my hand, and I start to rub her. Kimberly throws her head back, and I place my lips gently on her neck, causing her to moan out. “We should be on the same page with this. Let's focus on getting Portia out of this pack and then go from there.” Kimberly runs her hands up my sides to my neck. She places her hands on the back of my neck and grips my hair. I close my eyes, looking forward to what will come next. Kimberly yanks my head back, and I moan at the assault.

“I haven't given up. If you though it would be this easy, you had me mistaken. I'm sure after I speak with Jenna, my plan will be back on track.” She places her lips on my neck. “Nice try, though.” Kimberly lets me go and swiftly opens the door, and exits. I grow! after her and take a minute to catch my breath. I should have known she would be using a tactic like that, silly me. I put my watch back on, and I open the closet door. I exit after I determine that no one is watching.
