Chapter 71

~Landon~

We, somehow, made it to the bed. We aren't sleeping, just trying to catch our breaths. That wasamazing and tiring at the same time. Marking can take a lot out of you. Marked.....we are marked.Can you believe it, Goliath? She marked us. Goliath huffs, laying on his back, trying to rest. I can'thelp but chuckle at the sight. I'm a marked wolf. Not only am I marked, but I was able to mark her.Wait....I'm marked. Tia marked me. After everything that happened today, Tia marked me. Why?Why the hell did she do that? I can hear all of us breathing, and I know that no one is asleep.“Why?”

“Uh....L, is everything okay?”

“Why, Tia?"

"What do you mean?” Her soft voice is a bit raspy and sounds like she may have let sleep take overat any minute.

"After everything that happened today, why did you mark me? There is no way that I'm deserving ofthat honor. Why did you mark me? Why did you forgive me?” My heart is pounding in my chest.Goliath is growling in my mind, hating that I'm ruining the moment. I probably am, but I have toknow. I have to have an understanding; it's just who I am.

The thought of my sister in distress causes laughter to bubble up in my chest. I have to work hard tokeep it inside. I don't want people looking at me funny. Movement catches my eye, and I sit upquickly, hoping that it's the twins. I turn my head slightly but am disappointed. It's just somepackhouse Omegas. It's their conversation that intrigues me.

"Guess what I just saw?”

“Huh?”

“I was just upstairs cleaning up. Guess what I just saw!”

“What is it?"

“The twins....the twins are marked!” I heard nothing else that the two Omegas were discussing.There is a noticeable ringing in my ears, and I can feel my legs getting weak. Marked....they aremarked.....marked.......

I can’t seem to focus on anything. How the hell did this happen? How did all of my planning go tos**t? My breathing is becoming erratic, and my vision is slightly blurring. I have to get out of here; Ihave to get out of the packhouse.

I look around and see that I'm alone. I start to head to the doorway and pop my head out to seewho's around. I replace no one, so I quickly dart to the front door, closing it quietly behind me. I don'tknow what to do or where to go. Everything is messed up, and I don't know how to fix it. I thought Ihad it; I thought I had Landon where I wanted him. This should have been a no-brainer.

So they are still together. They aren't just still together, but they are marked. This completes themating bond, and I'm not sure what to do. One thing is for sure, if they talk to Neal, he might giveme up. I have to figure out how to keep that from happening. I run into the woods so I can come upwith a plan.
