Three Fated Hearts by LNC novel Chapter 18

~Tia~

Every inch of my body is in pain. I try to move, but the pain is too much. I can hear beeping around me. I crack my eyes open a bit, but all I see is white. I wonder if I’m dead. I try to focus on my surroundings to get an idea of where I am. The first thing I notice is the sparks on both of my hands. I take a deep breath, and I can smell the peppermint, lemon, and grapefruit. My mates are here, wherever here is.

I move a bit, trying to squeeze my hands. I can’t speak with this tub down my throat, but I want the twins to know that I’m awake. I move my fingers around to elicit a response. Lincoln groans and moves his head, but he stays asleep. Landon shoots right up and looks around the room before landing his eyes on me.

“You’re awake, love! Let me get a doctor.” Landon kisses me on my forehead before opening the door to see a doctor. I don’t try to move anymore or try to think about how I ended up here, wherever here is. In no time, Landon comes back with a doctor who checks my vitals. He asks how I’m feeling, but I am still not really able to respond. The doctor seems as if he understands and takes Landon outside to talk. Lincoln still does not stir, which amuses me a bit. He sleeps so hard; it’s cute. I try to stay alert for when Landon comes back, but the darkness is too inviting. I can’t help but submit to it.

~Landon~

“How is she doctor?”

“Well, the fact that she woke up is a great thing. We need to do a few more tests, but it can wait a few hours. I want to make sure there is no lasting damage and take an image of her brain. I think she will get better once her wolf comes back. With you two at her side, her recovery will be that much faster.” I nod and walk back into the room. Lincoln is still asleep at Tia’s side, and Tia is passed out. I know she will probably sleep a lot since her body is trying to recuperate.
