“You guys are so perfect for each other, it is about time you got together, we have been saying this all along” Indie says, still in a high-pitched voice. God damn, I wish she would speak less loudly. She gives me a headache! How Dan is not deaf by now I do not know.

“Well, seems fate had that planned for us.” Ruby said with a smile so beautiful, she was clearly overjoyed by this new development.

“So you took her as a chosen mate after all?” Dan asks.

Jake shakes his head. “See, that is a development you don’t all know. We happened to bump into each other yesterday. And well, there were signs of fated mates there… seems fate had decided that we would be second chance mates after all”. There is a look in his eyes that tells me he is emotional. I am not surprised! Second-chance mates are rare. But they had both been blessed with one. One that could not be more perfect for them either. And they both truly deserved this second chance at happiness.

    “Well beautiful, now they have gone, are we going to get your things moved in?” I ask, desperate to have her moved in officially. “Haha, you waste no time, do you Guapo?” she chuckles, walking to the lounge having waved our friends off from the front door. They had stayed for a large portion of the morning and early afternoon. Nothing like taking up my quality time with my new mate! I would make my friends pay for that in training, they could be sure of that! Despite all my hints for them to leave once we had eaten the food they had brought with them, and we had caught them up with the new developments, they still chose to stay and chat, endless, boring chat… or that is what it felt like. Maybe that is because my mind was focused on other things - things like the fact I wanted to get my hands on my mate! And them being there was stopping that from happening. “Well, is there something wrong with me wanting my mate to move in?” I ask. “Just want her snuggled up in bed with m

    1 year later I stood at the end of the aisle, where the wooden gazebo was in place, next to Knox, my best man, and Alpha. Today was the day I had been looking forward to. Not only would Ruby be my mate, but she would become my wife too. The sun was shining and the pack was beautifully decorated for our special day we had spent months organising. I had wanted everything to be perfect for my perfect mate. The perfect day to celebrate our love, our relationship, our fate. I looked to my friends Dan, Gabe, and Manny, all of whom stood by the side of Knox. All smiling at me as they wait with me for my mate. I had to have them with me for today. All four of them, my closest friends, are like brothers to me, so my wedding day would not be complete without them being involved. Gabe winks and nods his head as he sees me looking at him.'You all good?' he mind links.'Couldn't be better' I responded. 'Just ready to get today underway'Gabe grins ' Always so impatient aren't you, J?

    The wedding ceremony had gone as planned and now we were celebrating with our friends and family. Our pack members. Today could not have been more perfect. The sun was shining for us, and Ruby looked as happy as I felt as she danced with her sister and cousin and their children. She had our little boy Leo, in her arms, Esme had Jorge in her arms, and Lola had Dario and Xavier around her feet. Big smiles on all their faces.As our mates were enjoying themselves on the dancefloor, me and my friends were sat relaxing as the sun was setting, all enjoying the music, while drinking beer together, much as we had discussed earlier. A pack party was always a good time, and always good fun, time to spend with friends and family, good food, good music and drink. The kids all having time together with one another, running around being crazy together, while the parents all chilled out together too. Like we had done when we were their ages. It was a perfect way to spend time. And today it was even

    Midnight Forest Pack is busy today. A big birthday party for a tiny tot of a girl. One that was loved by everyone. The daughter of our Alpha and Luna. Knox and Lilah’s little girl, Cleo was two years old today and, as was the tradition in our pack, there would be a big birthday celebration within the pack.Everyone had come to celebrate, and no doubt later there would be plenty of sore heads and grumpy kids too. I sit and look around the training field we had spent hours decking out for the party, full of friends, full of family, and pack members. It was hectic and loud as always. It is occasions like this I love our pack the most, when we come together to celebrate, show how close we are as a pack. Plus, it is an opportunity to spend time with those closest to me and have fun.I see Knox, my closest friend, and our pack Alpha, with his mate, Lilah, our Luna smiling at one another. The happiness clear on their faces. The party today was to celebrate the second birthday of their second

    Music was blaring and kids were running wild having fun on the training field, while the parents and other pack members were all stood or sat chatting, having a drink. One bonus of not having kids meant I got to chill out with my beer and not have to run around after a kid who was misbehaving or running riot.My poor friends were up and down out of their seats like bloody yo-yo’s for their kids right now for one thing or another.“Hey” Ruby said as she approached. “How is my little nephew” she smiles at Lola, who is sat to my right.Ruby is Lola’s cousin, and Esme’s sister, she moved here when they did after we helped the Werewolf Council close their pack. She is a sweet girl, and I find myself chatting to her quite often when I see her around the packhouse. I have to say I feel for her, knowing she lost her fated mate in a rogue attack at her former pack must have been hard. I don’t think you ever fully recover from losing your mate from what I hear. How she is still going I don’t kn

    It makes me cringe with embarrassment any time one of them makes suggestions about Jake and I . Don’t get me wrong, he is a handsome guy, tall, muscly, I mean, he is a Beta at the end of the day and has some dreamy eyes, I have to say. But he is not my mate. I am not sure anyone would ever be the same as my mate. Nobody would ever live up to Seb.I know they are teasing, and considering he and I are the only singletons in the group other than Luis, who chooses not to spend that much time with us, much preferring to spend time with ladies around the pack, it is easy to tease us, and often we end up having to chat to one another when the others are all with their mates. But I don’t consider him more than a friend. I have not considered anyone more than a friend since Seb.Seb was my mate, my fated mate. I lost him and the pain from that has never gone away. I am not sure it ever will. I can’t ever imagine giving myself to someone else. I was his. Fated to him. Meant for him and nobody e

    Cleo had loved her birthday but was now crashed out across my lap, her wispy, blond wavy hair hanging down my side. She looks the picture of sweetness when she is asleep. Such a terror when she is awake, I truly don’t know how a two-year-old can have an attitude, but I swear this one is all the drama and attitude of a teenager squashed into a miniature body.Yet everyone in the pack loves her, she is a little charmer like her big brother. She had been spoilt with gifts today, so no doubt when she got around to opening all of those our house would be full with all sorts of new things to find homes for.She was named after my late sister. And has the same blond hair as her, and is the spitting image of Lilah. She has her big blue eyes, which make it very hard to be angry at her when she is looking all big baby-eyed at me. And she knows it. She is damn clever for a little girl, I swear. I used to laugh at my dad for being manipulated by my sisters, well, that was when I wasn’t complainin

    An early start this morning meant I was not in the best of moods, and was purely running off coffee. Lilah had joined me in the office today for this business meeting. It was a new potential client from overseas that Knox had lined up, one he had been interacting with for some time, building up business connections with, so all being well this meeting should be just finalising the details.From what I could gather, the business associate was Rose Cartwright from Black Forest Pack, just on the outer edges of Scotland. So she would no doubt be as tired as us from travelling, unless she had been staying here and adjusted to the time difference before the meeting. I am certain that we are able to get these deals completed today, and know that Lilah will be determined to do the same too.Knox had other business he had to attend to within the Pack today, so he was leaving this deal to me and Lilah to complete until the final stages and then he would come and speak with Miss Cartwright if sh

    It was always fun to tease and joke around with Ruby, she was so easy to wind up, but that was irrelevant right now with her laid underneath me. I kissed her again before she had a chance to argue with me. Her lips surrender to mine, kissing me back, her tongue finding mine in an instant. Mmmm, I knew she couldn’t resist me… Her hand was roughly running through my hair, making me shiver as our kisses deepened. I let my hand wander down to her hips, gently beginning to explore with my fingers, teasing with them as I let them move to where I wanted to go… Boom Boom Boom. There was a heavy knocking at the door. Dammit! What the hell?! I pause what I am doing for a moment. “Maybe if we ignore them they will go away?” I whisper. Ruby smirks at me and nods, pulling me back to her for a kiss. Continuing our kisses, allowing our hands to begin to wander once more just as the banging at the door too continues. Boom Boom Boom. “Wakey Wakey Jakey Jakey!” I hear a voice that s

    I woke up feeling so sleepy, I don’t think I slept last night. I stretched out in bed, not wanting to open my eyes, knowing once I did I would not be able to get back to sleep. I felt something touch my hip. And I froze. What the fuck was that?! My heart began to race. Whatever it was was still there… I balled my fist up and lashed out sleepily, whoever or whatever was in my fucking room would regret it! “Ooph Rubes!” I heard Jake's voice. And my heart drops, as I suddenly realised what I had done. Shit. I had forgotten. How terrible am I?! I quickly sit up, I’m most definitely awake now! “Oh Guapo, I am so sorry, are you ok?!” I look down at him, he is holding his face. Did I punch his face? “Was I that bad last night that I deserve a black eye?!” he chuckles. “Or is just that I kept you awake most of the night?” I blushed, not wanting to admit to him I had forgotten I was in his bed. Admit I had forgotten we had marked and mated one another. That makes

    Woah… that was fucking mind-blowing! Literally… Every touch had felt amazing. I had thought of this moment for so long… Been wanting her for so long and the day had finally come, and it had been everything I had dreamt of and more… Every time we kissed, or touched, feeling myself inside of her… it truly was like we were meant to be. And then the moment we reached our peaks, I knew I didn't want to wait then, I had to mark her, my fangs had elongated, needing to bite her, give her my mark. I leant down and punctured the skin along the collar bone, where her neck meets it. The metallic taste of her blood hitting my tastebuds almost immediately, but it not being unpleasant. This was my mate. I was marking her! And I licked up the blood dripping on her skin, as she shivered at the contact. It added a whole other level of arousal. I truly don't think things could be more perfect. This girl had been made for me, of that I am certain. Then suddenly she was sinking her canines into

  • A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate?    Chapter 100 - Ruby

    I have a feeling Jake was either unsure if this was what he wanted, or he was feeling a little more nervous than he wanted to let on. I was kind of hoping it was more the second of the two, which, in many ways, was quite sweet really. There is nothing wrong with being nervous. Hell, I am nervous. It has been a long time since I have been near a man. Well, the only man I had been near was Seb. And obviously, the quick fumble with Jake on Esme’s graduation. That has been my whole experience with men. So, far from vast. But I do find it incredibly sweet to think he may be a little on the nervous side about being with me, though the longer he took in the shower the more I was beginning to think it was more that he was simply beginning to question his whole decision. Until he came into the bedroom, half naked, still damp and a towel slung low around his hips. My poor eyes did not know where to look! So I avoided looking at all. I already have seen him in swim shorts at the lake and

    After watching Gabe's display of horrendous spy action, (Oh he was so far from being the next James Bond!) and dragging Ruby inside the house, we had sat talking for all of five minutes or so and I could not wait a moment longer. I literally stood up and said to her “Now, do I get to take my mate to bed, Miss Ruby? I have been waiting for quite some time for this I can’t lie…” And I truly wasn’t lying, it was something I had wanted for a long time, since before we knew we were mates. The fact we hadn’t actually done anything, and we were going to do this for the first time, as mates, was kinda special, without a doubt. So, as much as I have cursed fate lately, it seems fate truly did have a plan for me and my Rubes all along. I just want to make sure this is special for her, perfect... Ruby reaches for my hand, a shy smile on her face, as she looks up at me through her long, dark lashes. I have waited so long for this moment, I truly want it to be perfect. Make her feel amazin
