A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 37 - Esme
Today has been so amazing so far, being able to finally collect my graduation certificate, and have my family there to see me do it too. Seeing me achieve my dream was such an awesome feeling. And the smile on Gabe’s face too, was perfect. When I started this course I had never imagined I would be finishing it with a mate there supporting me, cheering me on and making me so incredibly happy! Let alone with a surprise addition to our family inside of my belly. And this one was most definitely a surprise! A surprise we did not plan, I know that. Kids had not been on our agenda for a few years yet. Most couples when they meet their mate are in a rush to have pups. Not us. Gabe was so not keen on kids and neither was I, and then I wanted to make sure I had completed my course. But I have to admit, meeting him changed something in me, I think. I seemed to soften a little to kids then. I think he did too. Though if you listen to his family, he has always been wonderful with kids, more th

I am goddess knows just how many beers down now. I have helped a little on the grills but gave up, letting Javier and Mateo take over as they are so much better, plus it meant I got to chill out with my friends. Ruby has been avoiding me today, I am sure. Well, not just today, but for a while, since we had that awkward encounter in my office. I hate it. It shouldn’t be like that with us. I have enjoyed having her around as another friend these last couple of years, had grown used to her being there, and now she wasn’t around as much, it didn’t feel right. But I hadn’t pushed it, as I was trying to do right by Rose too, plus give Ruby her space as it seemed like that was what she wanted. But with us being at the party for Esme, it was proving a wee bit hard to avoid her. Or for her to avoid me. As she was with Lola and Esme a lot of the time and I had been with my friends, which meant we were within the same vicinity. We had made eye contact awkwardly a few times, but quickly lo

Just as I started to speak. “I just need a minute.” She pauses, and quickly moves again. Had she thought I was about to kiss her? Was she going to kiss me? Did she want me to kiss her? Dammit, whatever it was, the moment was lost now. And I need to go get some space. I gently let go of her hips and walked toward the pack house, I will go to my office for a minute. Nobody would disturb me there. ‘You ok, Jake?’ Knox links. ‘Yeah, just going toilet’ I replied, finding it easier to lie. Let them enjoy their time with their mates. They don’t need dragging into my drama and messed-up mind. I walked down the hallway of the packhouse into my office. And sit myself on the edge of my desk. Running my hands through my dark hair. I don’t know what to think. When did things change with her? I thought I had only ever seen Ruby as a friend. But not seeing her lately has been frustrating me. Then having her that close to me got me all hot and bothered and maybe even a little turned on.

I am not sure why I walked away from him. He had been making me feel things I did not expect to feel ever again, and I have been feeling them for a little while now. We were meant to be friends. Simply friends. It has been confusing me. Scaring me. Upsetting me. Seb was my mate. My fated mate. The one meant for me. My perfect match, according to the moon goddess. And he had been perfect for me. But he was taken from me and I missed him terribly. So it hurt so much to accept that I had begun feeling things for someone else. I didn’t even realise it at first. Or perhaps I was in denial. I do not know. Not wanting to see what was right in front of me. I had sworn after Seb had gone, I would never allow another man near me. But Jake had snuck his way into my heart. Simply by being a friend. And I have cried many times as I sat and considered these feelings I am fighting. Trying to deny what I was feeling. Unable to accept in my mind that I was feeling something for a man that wasn’t m

Ruby is blocking me, I am sure of it. I need to be with her. I want to be with her. But then there is Rose. I betrayed our mate bond tonight. I think I need to arrange to speak to Rose. Do I want to reject her? Do I think I want to look to make Ruby my chosen mate if she would have me? The connection with her is different. It felt real. I don’t understand what went on. But she had something that Rose didn’t. A personality for a start. But I felt something with Ruby, like I hadn’t felt with anyone before. Maybe I have been gradually falling for her and been oblivious. Our friends have been joking about it, when, in truth, it has been happening in front of our eyes and we didn’t even know!One thing I do know, my mind is fucked! Completely frazzled. Such a mess with confusion. I don't know what to do. Or what I want. What is best? Such a mess. Why couldn't I have realised this about Ruby before meeting Rose? I could have made her my mate and there would have been no problem then. Argh!

The party was such good fun. Just the way I had hoped for my girl. Not just that, the whole pack was enjoying themselves, but for me, the best part was seeing Esme with the biggest smile on her face. Seeing the surprise when she realised this had all been arranged for her, that she had been totally clueless. Made me and all the little gang of friends and Mama’s involved in arranging it so happy. Esme deserved to be celebrated. I was a lucky guy and I loved seeing my mate happy. I thank the goddess every day that she chose to come back to me, because she could so easily have thought I was not worth it! I drive most of my friends and family mad, probably do the same with Esme to be fair, yet she seems to find it endearing, and is forever joining in with my jokes and I love it. Making her happy is my main goal, but now we would both have our little one to add to that now and I can’t wait. We had danced with our friends, sat chatting with them and made our way around family and pack

I wake up passed out on the spare bedroom floor. It is the room I use as a gym. I clearly pushed myself that hard that I tired myself out and never got to bed. Though at least I got some sleep I guess. I tried numerous times to mind link Ruby but her guards remained up all night. I tried to call her too but her phone was off. So it is safe to say she is back to avoiding me. I won’t say I regret the kiss, because I don’t think I could ever regret that, but I don’t want things to go back to how they were when she is doing everything in her power to avoid me. I slowly stand up, my body aching, having slept on the floor. I see many messages on my phone from my friends and family, as I pick it up all asking where I had got to. I would guess they had tried mind linking but I too had put my guards up once I got home not wanting to talk. Needing space and most definitely not wanting to talk about the shit going down. I scroll down my contacts to find Rose’s number, knowing it would no

Well, I had done as much as I was going to be able to for my father. He would be attending the meeting himself. He had made that perfectly clear. I have done my part now. It was down to him to see if he could salvage the deal. After going through all the paperwork and knowing all I do, I highly doubt he would be able to. He had been far from kind to me over the last few days, using me more like staff than treating me as family, and it infuriated me. Anthony had been avoiding my calls too, which only went to fuel my anger further. I think the news of our family struggles was beginning to spread, and Anthony has many business contacts linked to our business, so it would not be out of the realms of possibility that he had heard rumours, heard tales of our woes. That could explain why he was distancing himself from me, from my family. I was not quite the catch I might once have been considered. It had become seriously humiliating, quite frankly. So, I was glad to be getting away now.

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

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

“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
