Three Fated Hearts by LNC
Chapter 7

~Tia~

I swear I cried the entire way back to my apartment. The four-hour drive was filled with sniffling and wailing. I have no idea what went through the minds of anyone who noticed me while I was driving. I can't say that I'm surprised at what happened. I could have guessed the outcome would have been something like that. My dad only wants the best for his amazing daughters, and here I am, just getting in the way of that. I'd imagine that I will get a rejection letter or something in the next day or two. Let's face facts. There is nothing I can offer the Alphas that my sisters couldn't provide tenfold.

We head into the packhouse and to the second floor. I knock on the office door and hear a muffled “Come in." Much to my joy, dad is alone in his office. I really didn’t want to have to deal with mom again, especially after dealing with the twins.

“Where are you two coming from?"

“We just went to talk to the Colby twins,” Linc responds as I sit in the chair opposite my father. I spread my legs out and lean my head back.

“I won't bother to ask how it went. Judging by the looks you two have, I can pretty much guess.” I give a dry chuckle. He isn't wrong, and I'm sure whatever he could guess would be accurate.

“Dad, we want to go see Ti-" Linc is interrupted when dad hands him a sheet of paper.

“That is her address as well as her phone number. I already had some clothing packed up for you two, and the suitcases are already in the Jeep. Everything will be covered while you are away; just remember that you two have to come back.” I lift my head up to look at my dad. He has a spark in his eye and a faint smile on his lips. He must really be for this matchup, and I truly appreciate having someone on our side. Linc is hugging dad. I stand up and do the same. Lincoln and I walk toward the door. “Sons, bring our Luna home.” We nod and head out to the waiting car.

The four-hour drive went by pretty quickly. Lincoln and I took the time to come up with a plan, and it was simple: talk and listen. We don’t want to force or trick her. We want Tia to want us as much as we want her. Clearly, something made her run away without so much as a goodbye. We need to figure out what that was, and we need to be mindful of her situation and how she is feeling about things.

It's true that if she decided to reject us, we would be devastated. We still won't force anything on her. I want her to welcome us with open arms, and I know Lincoln wants the same. We also need to get to know her and let her know us. She wasn't someone we really spent time with in the past, and that will all need to be remedied for anything substantial to happen.

The apartment complex Tia lives in is average at best. I would guess that she wasn't getting any money from her parents to live out here, so she did what she could. She deserves so much more than what she has now, and I hope we are able to give that to her. Lincoln parks the car, and we find her apartment door. We look at each other and take a deep breath. I raise my hand and start to knock.
