A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 57 - Jake
I ran into the trees to find some clothes for Ruby and I to cover ourselves up. I can’t believe I have just killed my mate. Or my wolf did. I didn’t plan to do that. I planned to stop her hurting Ruby. And now she was gone. I thought Jaxx would just pin her, bite her to the point of incapacitating her. Not killing her. So when he fully clamped his jaw and teeth down on her neck, puncturing her veins and snapping her neck, I was in shock. I think Jaxx was too, once he let go of her and he looked down at his dead mate. “Mate dead Jake” is all he kept muttering to me. “I killed her.” This tells me he is in as much shock as me. I need to tell Knox. We need to let her family know too. They didn’t even know she was here from what I could gather either. And now she would not be going back. What are they going to think? Perhaps we need to travel there to tell them. That is not something to be broken to them over a phone call. ‘Knox. I need to talk to you. There has been an incident in

I see Jake coming through the trees, now covered in a pair of shorts, and carrying something in his arms, hopefully clothes for me. As I really do not fancy walking back down to the pack naked. ‘Was beginning to think you had disappeared’ I link him. He looks up at me and smiles. But I see the usual sparkle in his eyes is not really there now. Though I can understand that. He has just lost his fated mate. That could break some people. Though they were not marked or actually mated, so hopefully it would not hurt him as much as it could potentially. What scares me is the fact it was him that killed her. He took the life of his own mate, to protect someone else. Would he be able to forgive himself that?I honestly cannot predict that. The situation with the two of them had already been so unusual. So uncommon. Yet Jake had allowed it to continue the way Rose had wanted it to be. Anything to make her happy. Anything to continue the possibility of having her as his mate. Yet she neve

We walked back in almost silence down to Knox’s house. I told Ruby that Knox would need to see her too, as she was ready to head home. I think she is struggling to process this as much as I am to be honest, and likely wanted some time and space to think about it all. But Knox needed to talk to us both. Get our formal statement on it so he can file a formal report. Follow procedure. Do things the right way. Shame I hadn't... Knox opens the door. I could see instantly he was worried about me. He was chewing his lower lip, the way he does when he is anxious. How he has a lip left there is beyond me the amount he has chewed it over the years! “Hey” I said as we walked in. As soon as I am in the hallway of his house, he grabs me in a hug. No words. Just a hug. And suddenly Lilah is there too, her arms stretching around us both. “I am sorry Jakey.” “You can say you are glad Del, I know you hated her.” I joked, trying to ease the tension. Knox laughs, letting go of me.

I look at Jake as he reads the email. I had already read it when it came through. Full of anger, This woman was full of lies and secrets. Not only from Jake, but from her family and everyone close to her. And for her to have had the nerve to tell Jake she had been nothing but honest with him! Well, this just proved this was not the case. I hope this made him feel less bad for what just happened. He had done what any Beta or Alpha would have done. In my mind he had done what was likely any pack member would have done, he stepped in to defend another pack member from an unprovoked attack from a crazed she-wolf. Yes, that resulted in her death, but in hindsight, maybe that was for the best. Perhaps I am harsh, but I do not think Jake needed this evil bitch in his life and this is one sure-fire way of making sure she was not. I don’t doubt for a moment Rose had intended to kill Ruby, and that was not okay, so Jake had done exactly what I likely would have done in that situation. So, in

I sit in Knox and Lilah’s house, everything such a blur. I am so confused. In such a daze. I vaguely remember walking here with Jake. I can’t believe Jaxx killed Rose, or her wolf form. For me. That is so wrong. He should never have had to do that. I should never have argued with her. She may not have got angry then. She may not have come for me then. I assume Jake had told her what had happened between us. He said he wanted to. He said he wanted to be honest with her. I understand that, but maybe that hadn't been the right thing to do in the end. He was talking about rejecting her. Why would he do that for me? I am not worth that. Though this is not about me, this is about her. Rose. And the fact she is dead. Because Jake, or Jaxx killed her. Just thinking about it makes me feel nauseous all over again. Makes me think of her wolf's body lying there, her neck snapped... What was Jake thinking? Surely he should have known better. And now we find ourselves in this mess. I feel sick

My head is still a blur of information. A blur of memories of what just happened. I can’t believe what has just gone down. This is not like me. Not like Jaxx. I feel empty. Unsure what to feel. This was the mate the moon goddess had picked for me. Yet I had chosen to kill her. Yes, to protect someone, but I had still decided to kill her. Maybe I could have just pinned her, not fully attacked? So many doubts are filling my mind. So many questions. But Jaxx would not come forward to communicate with me, so I would be able to ask if that would have been an option. I don’t think he would have killed his mate if he thought he had any other option. I know how much he wanted his mate. Yet I can’t get over the fact we killed her. I followed Knox from his office to his lounge. Ruby is no longer here. Where is she? I want to make sure she is ok. If I am struggling, then she must be too. I know how much she hates violence, so witnessing that had to have been hard on her. Was she feeling gu

I hated seeing Jake like this. This was not the Jake we know and love. He had withdrawn into himself and it was horrible. The fact he said Jaxx had gone silent on him again concerned me too. Jaxx surprised me attacking to the point of death with Rose. I thought he may attack to injure, to bring her down, never to maim or kill. Not to his mate. Though part of me is wondering if the Beta wolf in him shone through and he was protecting his pack members. That is what I would do as Alpha. That is what you have to do. Protect your pack members. And that is what he did, he was protecting Ruby. Though I know with Ruby there are feelings there. Maybe even love if he looked deeper. They had been getting closer, I had noticed it, and so had Lilah. We were forever trying to push them together, knowing they would make a perfect couple. And with them being the only single ones in the group, they ended up together when we were hanging out. Not that they complained, they seemed to enjoy one another

‘Rubes, are you ok?’ I try to mindlink as I aimlessly wandered from Knox’s home to mine. Glad to finally get away and be on my own. This is the heaven knows how many times I have tried to mind link her since she walked out of Knox and Lilah’s home, but she seems to have her guard up. Maybe to me, or maybe to everyone, I don’t know. But I know she doesn’t want to speak to me. Yet, I desperately want to know she is ok. Maybe that is wrong of me. Maybe I don't have the right. I feel so guilty she witnessed Jaxx doing that. It isn’t unsual that we witness our wolves, or other wolves within our pack hurt one another, occasionally killing other wolves. Warriors, Alphas and Betas are generally more accustomed to it, some barely flinching when it happens. But I know for some people it truly affects them, and upsets them. Not all the vicious and ferocious beasts people would imagine us to be. Ruby had already seen so many shitty things in her old pack, and been through so much losing her

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
