Chapter 143 - Landon

2025-01-05 17:05:03I 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

A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 144 - Kai
Sleep was hard to come by for me. I had fought the incessant compulsion to message Bella to check she was okay, and then the niggling yearning to call her or even drive over to the pack in which she was currently being kept captive to ensure she was safe. I knew that as much as I wanted to do those things, right now they would only cause her trouble. It could ruin all the plans my pack and River Ash had made. I needed to be strong and stick to the arrangements I knew were underway...For me, bringing Bella home could not come soon enough. I had spent the greater part of the night pacing the floors of my grandmother’s home, my mind on my mate and little else. But, thankfully, at some point, I had collapsed onto the sofa and managed to gather some sleep from somewhere. And now, the time was here to meet the others. My younger brother and Daxton having now arrived in pack, though oddly, neither one accepting the offer of coming to stay here with me.Kaleb, I assumed, wanting the evening

I had counted down the seconds until he had walked from the house. Avoiding him in any which way that I could since he had been nasty to me the previous night. I finally felt like I was able to breathe when he walked from the house, and I let Alpha Landon’s cousins know, just as I had been directed to. I just wanted to be safe now. Away from here. Because suddenly, nowhere felt safe. I doubted even my home pack would feel safe…Which was why I had chosen to turn to Kai for help and not my own family. My own family were focused on the arrangement they had in place with the Alpha. The money the arrangement symbolized, and what it could do for our pack. I feared that would override any concerns for me. So, seeking assistance from Kai and Alpha Landon seemed like my only option. I just hoped that whatever they had planned worked.The cousins, Joe or Joey, and Kent or Ken, maybe Kenny (something like that I believed they were called, but I did

My nerves had never been this much on edge. Even when I had been on my first day at Alpha training, I had been less nervous. My lack of sleep had likely added to it, but sleep was never going to find me in this state... I wanted to be there already, dealing with what could be awaiting us. Instead, we were still making our way to Lunar River, and the wait felt like it was slowly killing me… torturing me… a slow and painful death while waiting to discover if my mate was okay. Waiting to discover if I would be able to save her and bring her home with me. Home, where she should belong.“Can you stop tapping your bloody foot?” Landon snapped from his seat next to me. "Or I will bite it off." he added with a snarl, only for his Grandpa to chuckle from the driving seat of the car.“Ever the patient one, Lan. The boy will be nervous. Give him some leeway. Today is not going to be easy for any of us, but this is going to be worst for him, and you know it is. Have some sympathy. You know what th

Lunar River Pack had been what I considered a second home to me for many years, and it was never a place I had dreaded going to; but today, today it felt different. Today, anticipation hung heavy in the air, and a sense of dread sat uncomfortably within my stomach. We drove toward the gate of the pack, and my heart was in my chest. I think what bothered me the most was that I could not shake the feeling that this did not feel like it was going to go the way we wanted.Yet I clung to the hope we were not underestimating the Alpha here and were not about to lose many of our men in what should be a simple rescue mission. Or there could be so many pack members resenting Kai and his mate before they even begin as Alpha and Luna of Midnight Forest…A lingering weight sat over me that I could not rid myself of as we were notified that the leader of the Werewolf Council demanded a meeting with the Alpha, just as my phone buzzed.“Hello?”“Landon!” Joey called down the phone. “Shit is already g

The moment I found out that the pack was in lockdown, I knew we were screwed. He is on his way for me and there will be no way out. I wish I had simply run the moment he had left this morning. I may have stood a chance. But I had taken the advice of Landon in the hopes he knew the best thing to do…“Right, Landon has told us to stay calm, they are on their way.” Joey tells me. Or was it Kent? They both looked quite similar... either way, it was one of the cousins.“Are they close?” I asked, and he shrugged.“I assume they could be at the gates or close, as he did say, the Werewolf Council had requested to meet with the Alpha, so that may well distract him from wanting you... for the time being at least.” His voice betrayed the brave face he was trying to put on, as it trembled slightly. I know he is a warrior, but he is relatively young, and I think it would be more than understandable for him to be fearful of the man he called his Alpha. Especially with the rumors that apparently li

They were foolish if they believed for one moment I was going to sit around and wait for each of these cars to filter through this pack gate and be granted access by the guard on the gate, who in all honesty was unlikely to even allow us to enter their pack once his suspicions were raised. The head of the werewolf council had already spoken to him and demanded to meet with the Alpha. That in itself would be causing tremors of unease to spread through the pack.And hearing the call between Landon and his cousin, to be updated with the chaos that had already begun the moment that evil bastard had realized his soon-to-be-wife had left him, sent me tipping over the edge. I needed to be in there. I needed to get to Bella and be close to her, so I knew that, if nothing else, I could try to defend her. I knew that I might well stand no chance against the Alpha, but I had to at least try. She was the she-wolf the moon goddess had chosen for me. The one my wolf was crying out for ever

I saw the anger in the Alpha’s eyes as we turned around. I had said the wrong thing without even knowing he was there. Totally caught up in the rush to get to Bella I had spoken to Kai in the assumption that the Alpha would be on his way to the gate to meet with our arriving posse. Or, moreso the leader from the werewolf council that was demanding to see him. But, unfortunately, he was here instead. Glaring at us... demanding answers... had he worked out why we were here?My gaze met Kai’s and I saw the same nerves there. But that passed quickly. Kai shrugged. “Nobody you know.” He smiled. My whole body felt like it wanted to slump down in deafeat at the point. Nobody he knew? Was Kai intentionally trying to piss him off further? He knew who this guy was right? Not to mention, we were in his pack for fuck’s sake. I am pretty damn sure he knew every single person, and then some…The brow of the Alpha raised as he pouted a little angrily. Shit. I didn't like that look. He looked like h

The moment he had mentioned the small army we had waiting outside his pack gates I knew we had to be decisive. No more of this being polite shit. Landon and I were Alphas. Or soon to be. Admitedly younger and less experienced than the one standing in front of us demanding answers, but we shared Alpha blood all the same. And, I knew for a fact when we both stood up to be Alphas, we would be ten times the Alpha this man had ever been. We were capable of standing up for ourselves and we should not be bowing down to him. This man was the reason my fated mate was not by my side right now, and I was not going to let that go.I slackened my control over Nyko and in that instant he was surging forward. He wanted out to play... he wanted to make this man suffer for taking our mate. He wanted his revenge. And, I wanted him to shift. I knew that was likely the only way I was going to reach my mate now. This dick of a man was hardly going to escort me to her. If anything he would do all he could

A Final Twist of Fate... Epilogue 2 - Lilah
Today had been wonderful. Everything you want from an Alpha ceremony. And, as a mother. I have never felt more emotional as I have sitting and watching as my eldest son was formally made Alpha of the pack we called home. A pack I had become a part of all those years ago. A pack that had welcomed me with open arms and made me feel like one of their own. Meeting Knox was a turning point in my life that I had never expected considering the events that had led up to it. But, looking back those events were things that needed to happen to bring me to him. Bring me to appreciate all that he is and all that we share.In the home that we built we created three truly amazing children and they all now have fulfilled lives in wonderful roles within their packs. But, more importantly, within my mind, I am happt to be able to say that they found happiness. They found their fated mate, and fate was kind. The mates by their sides treat them wonderfully and appreciate them for the truly wonderful, cr
A Final Twist of Fate... Epilogue 1 - Knox
Sitting down as the event drew to a close, I was able to look across to where the kids all sat. Not that they were kids anymore. No. They were all full grown adults, all with mates of their own now, and hell, the scarier thought was, soon enough they could have kids of their own. The pack was also now fully in their hands. As of today, I was a former Alpha. And dang, did that feel strange to think. A little emotional, I have to say.As a young upcoming Alpha, I had been filled with anticipation for the day I took over from my own Dad. Never thinking of the day I would hand over the reins to my own son. It had been hard. But it had filled me with pride too. Emotion hit me in a whole different way.Maybe I was getting soft in my old age. Gabe passed me a beer. “Looking a little misty eyed there old guy.” He winked playfully, making the others laugh.“I swear fuckface, I am never too old to put you on your ass.” I tell him with a smile. "And, if I am not mistaken you are the same age."

Thankfully the celebrations were quietening a little, and the amount of people coming to greet us was lessening. As I looked across to Bella walking by my side, my poor mate looked shattered. “I think I am calling it, beautiful, we are going to go over there.” I motioned to the large group of chairs that were pulled together where all my closest friends were now gathered. “And chill out with the people we should be enjoying the day with.”Bella smiled back at me. “That sounds good to me, babe.” She winked. “Though, if I fall asleep on your shoulder, do not blame me.”I found myself chuckling. “I think after the amount of polite conversation you have had to endure today I could forgive you that.” I offered her a playful nudge with my elbow. We had barely stopped, other than for food and drink. We most certainly deserved a break.“Even if I drool on your shirt?” She teased, m

Rocky and who I could only assume was his new mate had rushed off to leave me standing with this beautiful blond haired goddess my by side, and suddenly every ounce of confidence had seemingly slipped from me. My wolf was spinning around within my mind like some hyperactive puppy, and my mind seemed unable to function like a normal person… heaven help me, my fated mate was likely to think I was broken.Lyra looked over at me with those almost hypnotizing eyes, and offered me a warm smile. “Are you okay?”I nodded, apparently unable right now to do much else other than to admire the she-wolf I had been blessed with for a mate. Her honey toned hair was in a sleek bob, cut off at her shoulders. She was dressed in the cutest little combination of a simple black, fitted pencil skirt and a pale pink tank top. And those damn perfect silvery gray eyes were almost magnetic, because they sure kept attracting my gaze…“Luca

That smell was divine, and I knew in that instant what it meant. All thought of my drink being spiked were gone. The weirdness of my wolf made sense. My mate was here and I had to find her, but then an unease settled over me as I recalled my brother saying he had felt the exact same way and panic settled too, as my eyes slowly moved back to meet his. His dark eyes mirroring my own.“What the fuck?” He questioned.“I swear to the high heavens Luca, we best not share the same mate.” I snapped. “Sharing toys and having your hand me downs was bad enough, I am damn near certain not sharing a mate!”“Erm, excuse me, do you not think I feel the exact same way?” My brother’s face screwed up in a disgust. “I shared a bed with you once on holiday because there was nowhere else to sleep, I never intend to do that again. Waking up in a pool of your pee was far from a pleasant experience.”
A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 233 - Luca
There were people everywhere now. Many of whom we did not even recognize. Not that it mattered, it was not down to us today to be meeting and greeting. We had done our expected bit. We had been there as family and proudly supported Kai as he was made Alpha, and now was our turn to enjoy ourselves. And enjoy ourselves we were doing. Drinks had been flowing. More than a little freely...I had lost count the number of drinks we had drunk, but that was why there was so many drinks laid out. They were there for people to help themselves to. Each time we finished a drink my brother and I replaced it swiftly with another. Rocky and I were walking over toward the table where the drinks were to grab yet another. We had spent a little time with family, a little time with friends, some time with the warriors that were currrently off duty, and now we were wandering looking for any available she-wolves to work our charms upon. There were still many hours of the celebration to enjoy, so we

It was hard to know where to look, there was so much going on. The party was in full swing now, and I think it was safe to say everyone was enjoying themselves. Aunt Lilah had outdone herself in organizing the event, as she always did. And, I knew that it was something people would be talking about for some time to come.These were the sort of events I loved to come to. Where the entire pack came together to celebrate. Although, I was doing very little celebrating... well, in the physical sense at least. Under strict instructions from the pack doctor to rest, I was sitting down with my feet up, enjoying watching people drifting by, drinks in hand. That was about as exciting as my evening was going to get. The joys of pregnancy.But, I had Dario by my side. My handsome, and ever attentive mate. Though right now his eyes were anxiously darting my way every few minutes. Ever since I had suffered unexplained pains and some light bleeding and had to be rus

I had to admit, I was more than a little surprised at the invite to attend the Alpha ceremony with Kent today, but he told me he was bored of playing third wheel to Joey and his new mate, so I guess I kind of understood that. Most of my friends had been settling down with fated mates in the last few years so I did sort of understand how he felt.Joey and Kent were some of my oldest childhood friends, and I love them dearly. Seeing Joey all loved up, was taking some getting used to, I have to admit. Both guys had always been so dedicated to their warrior training, and had never really mentioned mates. But, Angel was a sweetheart, and seeing her with Joey and you just knew they were meant for one another. They were the sweetest couple.Visiting them in River Ash for a few days had been fun, their pack is so nice, and hearing the excitement in both Joey and Kent’s voices as they talk about their new roles in pack tells me that their moves there wer

The formal part of the ceremony was over, and it had been great. I was now officially the Beta of my pack. Beta of Midnight Forest Pack. Damn, that sounded good... but, ceremony complete or not, my duties were evidently far from finished for the day. Uncle Knox had told Kai, Finn and I that it would be best for us to circulate as many of the attending guests would be wanting to meet the new leadership team, and that meant us all taking the time to chat and get to know the leaders of the other packs across the country. It was going to be a long, long day...I had already began over recent years, to begin to learn names of packs and their Alphas, Betas etc, but I did not realize just how draining having to make irrelevant conversation with somebody you don’t even know could be. Thankfully, my Dad was by my side, clearly a seasoned expert in this role, and I was taking his lead. But other than a short break to grab a beer earlier, I think I was beginning to falter. It was
