A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 9 - Jake
I ruffled her hair, knowing it would have driven her crazy. Because that’s the good friend I am. I treat Lilah like a younger sister now, and have done since she came into my life all them years ago.She loves me for it, I am sure. The death stare she is giving me right now may say otherwise, and is something I can pretend I don’t see. She is a scary gal when she is moody and I don’t have Knox here to help me out today. So pissing her off may not be in my best interest. Though I am sure today I may have the sympathy card to play given what has just happened, so that could most definitely work in my favour at least!“You wanting a coffee or you heading home hunni?” I aimed for the nice angle, hoping she would be heading home as I really do not feel like chatting.As awful as that sounds, I just don't want to be sat chatting for ages with Lilah, and have her trying to dissect everything and look at every little detail, as the girls so often do. I know it would be meant in the most suppo

I got to the hotel, glad to finally rest. Today has been far from the straight forward day promised to me by my father when he asked me to come and represent the company for them. Meeting my fated mate had only added to the disaster. Luna Lilah seemed to think she had the right to get involved with it all, when I did not see how it is any of her business.If I was Jake’s mate, then surely that would be between myself and Jake. Not anything to do with his Luna and Alpha. Yet she seemed to take serious offense at me saying I was not able to be with him at the moment. Not to mention, I have a partner back home that he does not know about yet.I get undressed, stepping into the shower, ready to wash off the dirt of the flight and meeting too. I am assuming once Jake gets back to pack I will get a phone call and we can discuss all of this. It is practical to keep your fated mate as an option. I am aware of that, and I do intend to do that. It is not like my fated mate is all that ugly, or

I came off the phone to Rose with a smile on my face and Jaxx purring in my mind. He seems happy to know that his mate is close by, yet unsettled too that she is not by his side. Ok, she is not with us, and this is definitely unsual circumstances, but we are working on it. I am hoping to sort that with time.I guess listening to everything she said I can only agree that she deserves a little time to take in what has happened, and get her things under control and in order before making any commitments to being with me. Especially when being with me means moving to a different country. It is a big change to expect anyone to have to take on, especially a young woman that is a successful business woman.So I am willing to give her that time. Give her that space and that freedom to do what she needs to get everything in order, ready to come and be my mate. Or that is what I am hoping anyway. She has not exactly agreed to that as yet, but I am hoping that is what she will do. And I am reall

I saw Jake leaving his house. I thought he must have been held up at work when he hadn't shown in the packhouse for our gaming session we had arranged. And his mindlink was blocked. So I assumed he was still in work. Like had happened in the past. So I headed up to see my sister knowing she had a day off today, or I say a day off, I mean a day doing her never ending amount of coursework she was completing now her course was coming to a close.So am I to assume that he hadn't been at work? And just didn’t want to come gaming? Surely he could have just let me know? I am a little offended by that, I have to say. I enjoy our time chilling out together. He is one of the few friends I have made since moving here. And up until this had happened, he always seemed to have time for me.I was just leaving Gabe and Esme’s after having a coffee with Esme. I had hoped to spend a little longer with her, but she looked shattered, so I decided to finish my drink and head off home. As I was beginning t

I finally let Jaxx out through the forest at the top of the packland, up near the borders where I know I won’t be disturbed. Needing to feel the pain of pushing myself to my limit running up there, loving the sensation of the breeze through Jaxx’s fur as he paces through the trees at speed. I could still sense he was on edge, but allowing him out to run helped. He could let some of the unused energy up speeding around the forest, and in hunting small prey within the forest too. The fact he was not doing well with this showed how distracted his mind must be, as normally he was a refined hunter. Meeting Rose had clearly affected him. Clearly playing on his mind. Though it was still playing on my mind, so it is understandable.This was not how we had thought meeting our mate would be. This is not how it is supposed to be. Though I know you can't plan for everything to be perfect, this was beyond strange and it has really set me on edge. Something told me it didn't feel right, but I was t

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

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

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
