A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 14 - Rose
I am just settling down to relax in the hotel, though I have to say it is quite the dump. Meeting my "mate" had completely ruined my plan of asking their advice on better quality hotels in the area, so I am stuck here tonight now at least.I managed to enjoy a bubble bath to relax, which was something after the long day at least. A day of flying and then going straight into a meeting was far from ideal, though certainly bad planning on my father’s part, I have to say. I had asked that the flight was a few days earlier, though I had also asked for a better hotel. Clearly, my opinion means very little to my father right now, so long as I am out here doing his job for him while he sits at home on his lazy behind,enjoying the money I am bringing in now for him from the business.What boils my blood more than anything is my father would not lower himself to stay in hotels like this, yet he expects his own daughter to stay here and put herself at risk of catching heaven knows what, from hav

I pace the footpath outside the coffee shop nervously, having arranged to meet Rose here. Should I really be nervous coming to meet my mate? This all seems so foreign and strange to me. I don’t know what to expect or what I should be feeling. I am almost certain it should not feel this difficult and awkward though… my doubts nag away at me.I don’t know why but my mind has been nagging away with doubts and questioning over whether this feels right since she said she needed space and time. The fact Jaxx feels on edge over his fated mate and her actions too, is only adding to these doubts. This is not how I envisioned meeting my mate would be, but I am too embarrassed, I guess, to tell anyone. I already know what Knox thinks about it all, going off his initial reaction. So, no doubt the others would be the same.If I go along with what she wants, are they going to see me as letting her walk all over me? But then, if I want to make a go of things with my fated mate like I should try to,

Well, I decided to meet him after so much contemplation. I truly was so close to nearly cancelling. I woke to a text from him telling me how much he was looking forward to seeing me – I mean, how pathetic?!And now I have met him, he is doing nothing but trying far too hard. I mean he is clearly a nice guy, which yes, there is nothing wrong with, but isn’t it a little boring? Anthony has some attitude and moodiness to him, it keeps things interesting. We clash and it makes things fun, I find. This boy is such a try hard.He may as well just beg me to be his mate, that is nigh on what he is doing right now. But, I will go along with it, until I can look into him, his pack, and decide what is best for me. I have been offered this opportunity for a reason. But I still think the background I am from is far too good for this neanderthal of a man. That is certainly what he comes across as when he talks.We sit down at the coffee shop, having ordered the food, I allowed him to pay, let him f

Well, we had managed to sit and have some breakfast and chat a little. She did not seem willing to give much away. I had not really learned much more than I already knew. Did not know whether she wanted me or not. Jaxx was just as unsettled, if not more so, which is making me real anxious, which is not a sensation I am massively used to, and I have to say, I do not like it, not one little bit.I truly thought talking to her would help. But it hadn’t. We had spoken, she had told me bits. Until her phone had rang, that was. She had walked off to answer it. I have sat at the table since, waiting patiently for her to return.Though my patience was beginning to wear out now. She had been gone fucking ages. She had gone to stand outside to answer her call, which yeah, I get, as the coffee shop had music playing, but I can't even see her now, she is not anywhere to be seen. I have long since finished my coffee. The food is cold and drying up. I am beginning to wonder if she is even going to

After finishing part of the stack of paperwork on my desk in my office, my brain was beginning to feel somewhat frazzled, not that it takes much at the moment, I have to admit, so I decided it was time to head to the kitchen to make myself a coffee when my phone buzzed.I took it from my pocket and looked at it, wondering who would be texting me. Most people in the pack use the mind link.-------------------JakeSorry I dashed off, the call was urgent, business related, could not get off to come and explain myself. Felt ever so rude, so I do apologize. I hope you can forgive me. Then my phone died, and I have been waiting for it to recharge to allow me to message to explain myself.As I said, I am truly sorry and hope you will forgive me. I hope the chat we had answered some of your questions. I am having to return home earlier than planned now, and will be flying home tomorrow now, so it is doubtful I will see you before that, but you have my contact number and I will forward my ema

I had to flee from the coffee shop. Anthony was in the country! He had travelled to see me! He had surprised me, that is why he had not been contactable. So, the moment he told me that I was not going to hang around to chat and make polite conversation with a "maybe mate" any longer. So I simply left and found a taxi back to the hotel to pack my things, asking Anthony to book me a flight to meet him. I would spend the last few days here with him, before heading home together.That would also mean I get to stay in a decent standard of hotel too, thank the lord! It was only when I got back to the hotel and was about to leave that I realised that I hadn’t even said goodbye to Jake. Haha, how rude of me! But, he completely slipped my mind the moment Anthony said he had come to see me! I could not help it. I didn’t do it on purpose. My mind was just so focused on Anthony and getting to him as soon as I could. Not to mention so touched by the fact he had gone to so much effort to surprise m

I was headed into the packhouse to my office when I saw Jake coming out of his office, crossing to the kitchen, likely for a coffee, and going off the look on his face he needed it. He looked fucking awful! I hadn’t seen him a few days, I knew that, but I had been busy helping Lilah look after Cleo who had been unwell, so we had been taking it in turns looking after her and both staying home. Plus, I had been giving Jake some space after he had been a little sharp with me after I said Rose didn't seem to care about him.No, maybe it wasn't the kindest thing to say, and maybe I should have held back, but it had slipped out before I had a chance to stop myself. The way he had responded told me he was either pissed off, hurt, or a combination of the two. And I have known him long enough to back off and give him space. I can't help my mouth sometimes. I say what I am thinking and it pisses my friends off. I easily offend people, but this is my friend, he is like a brother to me and I swea

It had been over a week since Rose had messaged and I had yet to hear from her again. Despite my many attempts at contacting her. I had messaged her a couple of times to check she had got home ok. But had no response.This concerned me initially, but then began to infuriate me more. This girl seems to show me no respect, and show no care toward me, much like Knox had pointed out. I had met my fated mate and was excited, wanting to get to know her, involve her in my life. She met her fated mate, and made him feel like he was a nuisance, an inconvenience, and did all she could not to include him in her life at all. I did not understand this.I had been struggling to sleep due to how unsettled Jaxx had become. I look knackered. When I look at myself in the mirror I hate who looks back at me. My eyes are surrounded by shadows, and look almost empty, soulless. Jaxx is less enthusiastic to come forward now, hardly urging me for runs like he used to. So being apart from his mate is clearly h

A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Epilogue 2 - Jake
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
A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Epilogue 1 - Jake
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?
A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 105 - Jake
“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
A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 104 - Knox
“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. Indie squealed in deli
A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 103 - Jake
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
A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 102 - Ruby
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
A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 101 - Jake
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
A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 99 - Jake
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
