Chapter 112 - Isabella
Last Updated:
2024-11-28 17:03:50After everything, the memorial ceremony had given me a welcome moment of peace. An escape, I suppose you could say, which is a terrible disrespect to the man we were here to say goodbye to. My grandfather’s response to seeing me with Aria had crushed my spirit, and my heart. I had wanted to be anywhere but surrounded by the people closest to me right now. But, there was no real escape. Any which way I looked, there were people I knew, and I did not know the pack well enough to disappear for any time.
While sitting listening to the many memories people shared of Beta Trent, I tried my hardest to stay focused upon their words. Listening to the wonderful man that he was. A man of my grandfather’s age, and a man I had spent time with many times in my frequent visits to the River Ash Pack along with my friends and family. Guilt unexpectedly twisted at my heart that he had gone, and if he could so easily have left this earth, then so too could my own grandfather. The ve

I had somehow managed to get lumbered with my grandfather and my Uncle Javier after the memorial service, and both were now beginning to drink. A combination of whiskey and rum, I believe, like they so often did at events, be it parties, celebrations or memorials… any excuse to drink together. They were quite amusing when they were drinking, but it meant I would likely have to referee as their insults to one another got worse.“So, no mate then?” Grandpa said to me with narrowed eyes.“No Grandpapi, not yet.” I shook my head, I hated this, every time they saw us, they asked, like they expected something to change. Dad said his grandparents had been the same, and it was just something I would have to get used to until I found a chosen mate unless I was blessed with a second chance mate. The thing was, I was in no major rush. She would come when she came. Just like the mates for my parents and my aunts and uncles all arrived when the time was right.I did not want to rush this time. No

It was killing me. Pure and simple. I wanted Cleo. She may not be my fated mate, not the way the moon goddess planned for us as werewolves, but there was a bond there. A connection there. One that I am sure is stronger. One that I think would outlast any matebond given to us. But, despite her feeling the connection too, she still clings to the matebond she has been given, despite him openly declaring his plans to reject her.I had walked away from them to give them the chance to talk, hoping that with Kai there too he would back up Cleo and not allow Landon to mess her around. He would not force Landon to take a mate he did not want. If anything, he would ensure the rejection was to happen, wouldn’t he? He would not want his younger sister to be with a mate who did not truly want her. He would not want her with someone that was forced to be with her. For that would simply spell disaster for her, right?But, I had heard no updates, and anytime I tried to ask Kai for anything, he had di

I had been desperately searching for the handsome warrior since earlier. From the moment he had escorted us to our seats and then left us to continue his duties, my eyes had darted around the field in search of him. The man I now knew was my fated mate. I had found my fated mate. Today had been so much bigger than I had ever imagined it would be...But, I was trying so hard to act like all was normal, and that nothing untoward was happening, because I did not want to explain to my parents about this right now. I did not want to disrespect the funeral of someone so many people loved greatly, by making this about me. But, the excitement that was buzzing through me was difficult to fight, and the urge to find him was strong. Yet, unfortunately, I had seen nothing of him since the moment he smiled coyly at me before leaving us at our seats. A knowing twinkle in his eyes. A secret between us both.But he had to leave. I knew he was on duty today, and I kne

She was here. Back by my side, and my heart was racing right out of my chest. The way those beautiful eyes looked at me made me feel weak. I had thought my heart was going to explode with happiness the moment Milo mindlinked to say he had found her, and he believed she was looking for me. I had not felt happier…And now she had admitted she was looking for me! I saw the color flushing her cheeks, and I don’t think I ever wanted to let her go! This was my mate. My fated mate. My wolf was pushing forward just at her presence, and I needed her close to me. This was a stronger pull than I ever expected, but her touch… her scent… everything about her drew me to her…“I think I may have.” She whispered, like she was afraid to admit she wanted me. I think we may need to work upon that. I didn’t want her to be afraid to want me, I wanted her to want me. Be proud to want me. Be confident too…“Well, maybe y

The memorial service had been so touching, and I imagine the family and friends of Beta Trent were more than honored that so many people had turned up to honor him. It was always so difficult to say goodbye to a loved one, and we all held a soft spot for Uncle Trent. He had played a big part in all of my friends’ lives as we had grown up because of Aunt Lilah, and I knew I would miss him terribly.Now I could see my friends and family spreading around to celebrate his life in the best way they knew how, usually to drink and enjoy one another’s company. I had hoped to find a moment to speak to my Dad today, after such a hectic time recently at university, I had barely had a moment to think. I literally returned home to sleep and that felt like all. But, I knew I had to broach the subject of my fated mate. It was time my parents knew, and I was aware of that. They would be disappointed in me for hiding it if I kept it secret for much longer.Not a moment had passed since I discovered A

The tone of my Mother’s voice spoke a thousand words. I smiled, heaven help Luka if my Mum were to find him. But, I could not be more appreciative that she seemed to understand. That she was not blaming me. Maybe I should have come to her sooner. I may not have had to go through all of this alone... I nodded at her question. I did not want her to think badly of me. To think I would continue to see a man who I knew was taken. I was better than that.“The moment I knew of his wife I walked away.” I explained. “I would never have gone near him if I had known.”Mum squeezed my hand. “That is my girl. He is disgusting, baby, for even looking elsewhere. But, sadly, there are men and women out there like that. Who believe what they have at home is not enough. But, believe me, it is them that is not enough. I am glad you realized you deserved better. So, am I to assume that you met your mate after him?” she questioned, and I smiled. Of course, she would want to know how all this had come abou

I sat at the table, chatting with the beautiful she-wolf by my side, unable to believe that she was the one fated to me. Maybe a little gift from my Grandpa, as well as the moon goddess. The bitter-sweet irony I was to meet her at his funeral is not lost on me. But, with every word we talk, the more I realize what a truly wonderful woman this girl is. So full of life, such a fun and vibrant character, though maybe the hair should have been a clue to that…“So, what is your pack like?” Jessie asked excitedly, and with a realization, I understood she was asking because she wanted to move to be with me… the way a fated mate was expected to. She wanted to know all the details about where her new home would be. The thing was, I was yet to decide what my plan for the future was. Maybe, if she was to be my mate, as fate had planned, then she could help me decide this future. I mean, another opinion on the matter couldn't hurt, right?I smiled over at her, stroking back another of her stray

Okay, so Daddy turning up just as I was about to kiss Kaleb was not the ideal thing. And the fury in his tone told me he was not impressed. He was so grumpy! I had hoped we would be staying a little longer. My Dad was not particularly one for socializing. I knew that, so in truth, I was shocked he had agreed to come to the funeral at all. But, I knew that he and Beta Trent had been close through the training they attended over the years.And he was adamant he wanted to pay his respects. And he wanted us there, as his family, by his side. I saw it as a chance to get away from the daily drag of being in pack, so I agreed willingly, hoping I may even make some new friends. Never did I imagine I would be meeting my fated mate! I think once the ceremony was out of the way, my Dad had gone around and seen whoever he needed to and then planned to leave. He was here representing the pack, and needed to take the opportunity to chat to a number of people, and knowing my Dad, he would n

I awoke with a contentment I could not describe. Cleo had ended our call soon after I had begged her for a chance. But, having had her there, being able to chat to her, had just felt right. It made me realize how much I missed her. How much I needed her presence within my life. And how much that had been missing until I discovered she was my mate. I had fallen asleep easier than I had done in a long time, despite the many thoughts lingering in my mind of what the day ahead would hold, and that was down to Cleo. Thoughts of Cleo pushed any negative thoughts or concerns from my mind. She was the one pulling me through...Contentment was a strange feeling for me. Not something I think I have felt in a long time, if ever. But, I knew today was not going to be easy. My pack was potentially being put in danger. And we did not know what awaited us when we headed to Lunar River. But, the contentment came from a different place. It had nothing to do with the thrill o

I watched as Cleo rolled her eyes at my words. Obviously far from impressed with me. I chuckled a little. “Hey come on, all I am asking for is a chance, CC.”“I wasn’t the dick who blew it the moment he realized who I was to him.” Her words were sharp, and the moment she spoke them her gaze dropped, telling me she was trying hard to hide the hurt. She didn’t want this rejection. She had never been okay with it. Kai had said she was hurting. I had been a fool to think she was okay with it. She had agreed to it to save face and nothing more.“Have I blown it completely?” I asked nervously, my heart aching at the possibility that she may well want nothing to do with me. I had all but told her to go and be with another man. I mean, ultimately, Finn was likely a better choice for her. He would love and worship her, of that I had no doubt. But he wasn’t her fated mate. He wasn’t me…Cleo’s gaze t

I left Finn with a strange emptiness within my heart. I did not know how to begin to explain the way I was feeling. Our walk after we had spoken had been a little awkward to say the least. He had all but let me go. Was there anything to say after that? Finn would forever hold a precious place within my heart. Of course he would, but I had needed my space, and I had made my excuses to head home. I had hidden in my room since returning home. Avoiding everyone that I could. I need to be alone.Once home, I went over that conversation so many times within my head. He seemed to be telling me he and I were never meant to be. Athing I had never imagined Finn telling me. We knew we were never fated, but Finn had never been phased by that. So for him to suddenly be so opposed to the thought of the two of us seemed bizarre. Unlike him. Yet, I felt oddly calm about it. However, there was a heaviness that remained above me. I could not decide if that was because the one guy I was closer to than
A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 140 - Landon
All things were now in motion for tomorrow. My grandfather had done what I should have expected him to do, and completely took over. He and Uncle Knox were currently talking, arranging what needed to be done. Daxton and Kaleb had been briefed, and were now en-route to the pack. So, very soon, I would have the men who were to be my right-hand men by my side to begin the roles I had requested they take on for me. Admittedly, it was sooner than we expected, but this had pushed their decision forward, and it seemed they were ready to become my Beta and Gamma. I could think of nobody better suited to the roles.I think with them by my side I was ready to become Alpha. Strangely, the thought now did not fill me with the same sickly sensation it had done previously. I did not know if the chat with my Grandfather and Knox had made me view things somewhat differently, or if maybe I had just grown up a little, but things seemed to have changed. I think, maybe the time had arrived for me to take
A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 139 - Landon
I left Kai talking to his Dad, while I walked the short distance from their home to the home of my grandparents. The two homes where my Dad and Kai’s Mum grew up side by side. Had been friends for so many years. Where all this had begun...“GG!” I called the moment I walked through the front door.“Lan?” he replied, a little confusion within his tone. He was standing from his armchair in front of the TV as I walked into the lounge.“Can I get some advice please?” I asked, and he looked at me with a sympathetic expression. “Please tell me you have not chosen to reject her, son. Not now. Not after everything. I saw the way you looked at her today…” he began, and I shook my head in disbelief, not sure why he was headed down that blackhole I did not want to talk about right now. Especially with my Grandma sitting right there. I was unsure if she even knew any of it...“Woah!” I interrupted him. “Not that.”He frowned, but his eyes studied my face intently as I dropped into the armchair n
A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 138 - Cleo
I had returned home with my parents, and the many friends that had attended my Grandpa’s funeral. Kai had stayed behind with Grandma to support her, and from the messages he had sent, she seemed to be doing okay. I imagine being without her mate was going to take some getting used to, but I think with the support network she had in place she should be okay. I had not had a chance to see Landon before we had left River Ash, or at least not alone. Nor had he even messaged since I left, which had filled me with disappointment. I think the lack of a message, and no attempt at coming to find me before I left told me all I needed to know.He had just been being a friend when he reached for my hand when he saw me struggling during the memorial service, the way any one of the guys or girls would have done, I guess. My confused mind had read too much into it. Hoping for it too be for than it was...‘Stop that.’ My wolf, Terra, argued with me angrily, like she had done so many times prior, whe
A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 137 - Kai
The moment Bella had ended the call, I was sending Landon to go and speak to his Grandfather, and I was planning on a video call to my Dad. We needed a plan. I needed to know how I was going to help my mate. I had to make her my mate. Before that Alpha was able to take her as his. Because the moment he marked her, I would lose her forever. She would no longer be mine. Any connection between the two of us would be lost. And, I would be broken...I hated the thought of knowing she was scared. Instinct told me to go and help her. She needed me. Every part of me was telling me to call her and tell her to meet me tonight. Get her away from him as soon as we could. Anything to keep her safe. But then there was the tiniest logical piece of me arguing with the rest of me, saying it was not safe to do so. Arguing that if he had acted so aggressively about her being in the bathroom for too long, I could only imagine how he would react to her taking a phone call from me… another Alpha. An Alpha
A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 136 - Kai
I decided to help clear up after my grandfather’s funeral, and then stayed with my grandmother, as she settled herself for the evening. She seemed somewhat calmer now, I felt. I knew these coming weeks would be hard for her as she adjusted to life without her mate, but for the time being at least, she was doing okay. Now, I found myself sitting in the garden upon the patio furniture with a beer in hand, looking up at the stars, Landon by my side. Who would have thought?…The two of us choosing to spend time together? The two boys who had grown up side by side for so many years. The best of friends until they drifted apart, and became almost sworn enemies... There is likely an irony in there somewhere. He looked across at me with a sad smile. “I think your Grandpa would have been happy with his send-off, don’t you?”I nodded in agreement, he would likely rather have been still alive, but I guess, when your time is here, your time is here. And, we gave him a decent send-off. There were
A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 135 - Bella
I hate the idea of marrying the Alpha now. Plain and simple. I think had I not met Kai then things could have been a little different. I could have remained naïve. Knowing that my mate was out there somewhere but not knowing where. The thing was, now, I knew where he was. And, I wanted him. Letting him leave was the hardest thing I had ever done.Alpha Landon, or the upcoming Alpha as he was currently, had taken me by surprise by giving me his number, like he believed I would change my mind. As if he believed I would find the need to reach out to the mate fated to me by the moon goddess, but even if I wanted to, I was bound by the contract signed by my family. I had to marry the man, whether I wanted to or not. Though the words Alpha Landon had used had left me terrified. His words had seemed carefully selected. Like he knew more than he was letting on, and it had left me questioning everything.With the many questions, it had left an air of tension between me and my soon-to-be husba
