The cars are pulling up outside of our houses, and I am feeling a mixture of emotions right now. Glad that we had finished our travelling. It had been difficult being over there, but I was glad we had done it. I needed to do it - for me, and for Rose. It had been a long day, a long flight, and home was an appreciated sight, as expected. I was certainly glad to be home, yet the vision of Rose being in my home keeps replaying in my mind though, and I can’t shake that. Our argument just before she came and attacked Ruby.

And then there was Ruby – the need to go and see her. A desperation almost to see her, one that I really did not expect to feel. I knew I would want to see her, but this is a yearning almost, like a need. Like it has been too long since I saw her last. Such a strange feeling, and one I don't fully understand. But then, I am reluctant at the same time. Wanting to give her the time and space she needs. She would know we were coming home – there would be no way she did not

    I sit blinking back what I think could be tears. I did not expect to be near tears from her response, but that is seemingly what had happened. Did she not want to speak to me? She had to know we were coming home tonight, there was no way she could not. I had gone over this and knew she had to know, and yet she made sure she had her mind-link blocked? I can't lie that stung. Maybe I had misread the situation after all. Or maybe she needed more time and space like I had initially planned? I don’t fucking know! I am evidently useless with women. That was becoming more and more clear as time was going on! Don't understand them, they confuse me. Do they take classes as teenagers on how to confuse guys?! Because they sure as hell make me confused as fuck! I can't read them, they seem to struggle to read me. I think I am making them happy, yet it seems I am making them miserable... Perhaps this is fate's way of telling me I am better alone. Meant to be on my own. Oh I don't know. I am not

    We approach the edge of the forest, a short distance from the stone beach of the lake. Jaxx pauses. He is still acting strangely, and it is putting me on edge. His eyes darting across the lake. I can almost hear his heart beating, I am sure of it. Suddenly, movement on the lake catches my view through Jaxx’s eyes. Ruby. Had he known she was here? Is that why he had been acting the way he had? But that would make no sense... Jaxx begins whimpering. Why is he whimpering at the sight of her? Ruby is a friend, has been for so long now. Her and her wolf. This reaction from Jaxx puzzles me. Is he as scared as me of her reaction to us? I can think of no other logical explanation for his actions. He suddenly drops the shorts he has been carrying in his mouth. Before pushing me forward, unexpectedly. I feel my bones twist and pop once more into place as the fur from Jaxx’s body suddenly disappears to reveal my own body. I quickly bend down to pick up the shorts, and as I do I am hit b

    I had been unsure what to do. Indie had been telling me so many times in the last few days that they were due home today. Anyone would think she wanted me to know that Jake was coming home. I was regretting telling her I missed him now. As Lilah had told me, that Indie had been sharing that piece of information with her, with Dan, with Knox and no doubt anyone else who would listen. So I have learnt to be more careful what I tell Indie in future! There was no way that it would not have got back to Jake now that I was missing him. Yet I think I had kind of put that across in the few messages we had sent to one another whilst he was away. I was confused as to what to do with him coming back. I can’t lie. Lilah and I had spoken a few times. She explained Jake was struggling with what had happened. Which I understand, but then I hoped him going to visit Rose’s family might help. But from what Lilah said, Knox had told her it didn’t seem that had been the case. I missed him so much.

    We continue to stand by the lake kissing. Yes, we have kissed before, but this feels different, there is a deeper connection this time. I can only assume this is the new mate bond that is there. It feels unreal having her lips on mine. Something I don’t think I will tire of. She gently runs her hand through my hair and I feel myself moan against her lips. “Maybe we should walk back hunni?” I suggest, pausing our kisses. “Oh have you had enough of me now?” she pouts. I chuckle. “Hmm, no. More a case of I can’t get enough of you. And I would rather be in the house” I say with a wink. She giggles, lowering her gaze slightly like she is embarrassed. I love the sound of her giggling. She sounds incredibly sexy. “So we walking home?” I offer her my hand. She smiles up at me, and takes my hand. We begin to walk back over the stones of the beach, and through the trees of the forest where only a little while earlier Jaxx was running around trying to run off his frustratio

    The things he had said could not have been more perfect. He was willing to let me hold my memories of Seb dear, while making new memories with him. Allowing me to have my past and understand that, while being happy with him. Loving me and wanting me despite me having a past, was so much more than I thought I would ever find. Or ever deserve. And the Moon Goddess had decided Jake and I were meant to be the ones for one another after all. I feel so safe in his embrace. So wanted and needed. I have missed him so much. I don’t want to waste another moment now. He is here in front of me, we are fated mates, we should be together. I look up to him, and he is smiling, his eyes twinkle slightly when he smiles. I am sure they do. He has the most perfect smile too. It makes me smile. Not to mention, it gives me butterflies. Ooohh, I think I may have it bad... “Do I get to take my mate home?” he says with a wink, offering me his hand once more. I giggle slightly, and nod shyly,

    Lilah, Gabe, Esme, Manny, Lola and the kids are all sitting out in the garden, enjoying the last of the evening sunshine. Esme, Gabe, Manny and Lola came over for dinner. Something Lilah had arranged with Lola and Esme earlier in the week. Apparently, Dario and Cleo enjoy playing with one another. And Kai enjoys playing with him too. Plus, I am sure Lilah is a little broody and loves snuggles from little Xavier, not that she will admit that! Not that I will complain, I enjoy their company, and sitting out in the garden watching the kids have fun together while we chat and have a laugh, is nice. “Was Jake ok when he got home?” Lola asks. “Erm, I’m not sure actually, I need to check in with him, we got a bit distracted all of us I think…” I said, suddenly feeling terrible for not making sure he was ok. “Don’t beat yourself up about it babe, you have all been away and all had your mates and kids to see, J will understand that” Lilah squeezes my hand.

    Jake pulls me into the house and closes the door. We are laughing as we head inside. Teasing Gabe is so easy to do, though him trying to play at being a spy and watching us was hardly discreet. He is the size of a fricking giant, and far from delicate when moving around, so he could not be quiet if he tried! Watching him trying to sneakily watch us initially was amusing. I can’t lie. It was even funnier watching Jake go to meet him at the fence when he didn’t know he would be there. Gabe nearly fell over from shock when he peeked back up over the fence to look for us again, and Jake’s eyes were facing his! I was almost crying from laughter! I swear my sister is married to a simpleton at times, yet he loves her unconditionally, and he worships the ground she walks on, so I can’t really knock him. And the weirdo is really funny too, so I do have a bit of a soft spot for my crazy brother-in-law, I have to admit. But I think it is safe to say he was not going to be the next top sp

    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

    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?

    “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

    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
