Chapter 92


    ~Lincoln~


    I hang up the phone, rubbing my temples. This is starting to be beyond stressful. “Was it her again?” I


    look at Landon and roll my eyes. He already knows the answer to that question.


    Lcs and sandalwood hit my nose with a hint of orange, and the tension in my body starts to ease. I lift


    my head and see my mate walking toward me. Shees behind me and wraps her arms around my


    shoulders, kissing the back of my head. I will never get tired of the way she makes me feel. “Why so


    stressed?” I sigh, turning in my chair and pulling her onto myp.


    “Another call……” Tia sighs and ces her forehead on mine.


    “She’s been gone for months now, and she hasn’t stopped reaching out. Have you two thought about


    talking to her?” She has been asking this a lottely, and it’s a tricky question to answer. She is my


    mother and the former Luna of the pack, but everything she’s done is enough never to acknowledge


    her again.


    “Honestly, love, I’m not interested and I may never be.”


    “I’m not interested either,” I say while running my nose up and down her neck. “Onto brighter topics, did


    my little bean eat today?” Tia’s hands automatically go to her stomach, and I can’t help the smile that


    spreads on my face. She’s two months pregnant, and we couldn’t be happier. We had hoped for a bit


    more time together, but a child is a blessing no matter what.


    I reach around Tia and into my desk. I pull out a card one of the pups made for my mate. I hand it to


    her and watch her eyes light up as she reads. The challenge caused the pack to view Tia in a much


    more favorable light. They started to seek her out as their Luna and wanted to get to know her. Some


    of the pack members even apologized for how they had acted toward her in the past.


    The pack used to view Stuart as an honorable and trustworthy man. Learning the truth about him and


    our mom brought a new view into their minds and that helped shape their new view of Tia. Tia hasn’t


    made it easy for anyone, but she has been an amazing Luna despite the actions of the past. “This is so


    sweet. I will have to stop by the daycare and talk to Michael.”


    “Hey guys, I just got an update on the twins.” I feel Tia tense up slightly, so I rub her back to help her


    rx.


    “What’s it say, L?”


    “Currently, Aida is receiving treatment at the state mental hospital, Timbewn. She isn’t really


    responding right now, so she should be there for a long time. Ad was able to move to the


    neighboring prison. It’s a small facility that allows the inmates to work at the hospital. Ad is able to


    be with Aida every day, so that’s a plus. The council has stated that neither will be seeing the outside


    for the foreseeable future.”


    “I….I still don’t know how I feel about it all. They are still my sisters.” I kiss Tia on her cheek and


    continue to rub her back. “How’s Paul?” Iugh.


    “Dad just called earlier. He’s enjoying his travels, and he’s on his way to a new destination. He ns to


    be back in time to witness his first grandchilde into this world.”


    “Well, I finally got mom to go on a trip, and she’s excited.” Nikki lost herself in the clinic after everything.


    She kept her head down and took shift after shift. She moved out of the home she shared with Stuart


    and decided to stay on the Alpha floor.


    Tia shifts on myp, kisses my cheek, and stands up. “You two need to wrap up whatever you’re doing


    so we can have lunch.” Landon and I look at each other, puzzled.


    “Uh, love, we already ate remember?” Tia chuckles as she walks to the door.


    “True, but you didn’t have dessert.” She gives us one look over her shoulder before she takes off.


    Landon and I waste no time following her out of the office. I hope our days can be this light and happy


    for the rest of our lives.

    ~Paul~


    I’ve been traveling for a few months. After everything that happened, I just had to get off of pds.


    Everything that I lived had been a lie to some extent, and I needed to get a handle on reality again. My


    sons and Tia are more than capable of taking over without my being there.


    Kim has been calling and calling, but I won’t answer. We are done, and there’s nothing more to say to


    each other. I will always appreciate that she brought my sons into the world, but that’s the extent of my


    feelings for her. She isn’t who I thought she was, and I won’t have anything else to do with her.


    I’m sitting in my seat on the ne, first ss. I decided to travel with the humans instead of taking our


    jet. There may be an emergency at home, so they need ess, just in case.


    This will be a long flight, but I have enough entertainment. A familiar scent hits me; it kind of smells like


    home. I look up, shocked at what I find. I reach out and grab her hand. “Nikki?” She turns to me with


    wide eyes.


    “What are you doing here? I thought you, well, I know you’ve been traveling. I didnt’ think I’d run into


    you, though.” I chuckle. I never expected to run into anyone on a ne, let alone a pack member.


    “I’m heading to a friends wedding. Where are you off to?”


    “I’m heading to a wedding too. I’m going to the Lotus Pack.” Now, that’s just crazy.


    “That’s where I’m going too.” I shake my head; what a crazy coincidence. I move my items out of the


    way and motion to the seat next to me.


    “I couldn’t. I have a seat back there.” I shake my head and stand up.


    “Please do me a favor and keep mepany. I will go inform the staff of the seat change.”


    “Are you sure I won’t be a bother?” Iugh.


    “You could never bother me, Nikki.” I step into the aisle and let Nikki get into the row while I find a flight


    attendant. This boring flight just got slightly fun. I can’t wait to enjoy the time with someone I know.
