Three Fated Hearts by LNC

~Lincoln~

The morning light shines through the curtains, and I try to cover my face. I really don't want to get up right now. My mate's scent surrounds me, and it is the best cocoon anyone could ask for.

We finish the run and set up the sparring partners. Between me, my brother, and Stuart, we make sure to give tips while the warriors are sparring. We walk among the groups and correct any positions or moves that are off. We offer alternatives if an individual is having trouble executing. My brother and I stay away from Stuart, and he does the same.

We don't often lead training with Stuart. It only happens about once a week or so. I'm sure that from now on, we will make sure that we don't lead training with him anymore. I have seriously discussed removing him as head warrior with my brother. Honestly, Neal has been looking extremely promising, and he would be a good fit.

Training seems to pass by slowly, but I'd imagine it's because I'm anxious to get back to my mate. I have been thanking the Moon Goddess each and every day for pairing me with Tia. I have been interested in her for so long, but I never thought I'd be lucky enough to have her. She is everything I could want in a mate and even more. I just want to spend all of my time with her, which I know is impossible since we have a pack to run. Landon and I should consider taking a trip, just us and Tia. We need some one-on-one time together. Since Tia has been back home, it's been one thing after another, and we could all use a break. Training finally wraps up, and Landon hands me my water. I can feel eyes on me, and I find Stuart glaring at the both of us.

Please let that bastard come for us......I'm feeling froggy!

Whoa, Brutus. Chill out. We won't be fighting him today. Brutus grumbles in my head and lays on his stomach, not taking his eyes off Stuart. To say that Brutus doesn't care for Stuart is an understatement. At the end of the day, he’s still my mate's father, and we are the future Alphas. We can't go around beating people we don't like.

Boys....are you busy? Landon looks and me, and I give him a nod.
