last update Last Updated: 2025-01-08 19:35:34
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

Hi, I am aware of an issue with the chapter, having been one from another of my stories - I can only apologise, I am unsure how this happened, as I was having issues with my laptop that day, but I have tried to rectify it as soon as I realised it, and hopefully it should replace the previous chapter that was there in error, as soon as authorised by the editor. Thanks for your understanding, and thank you for reading! Beth x

No this chapter is an unedited chapter for another story (hence the spelling mistakes and needing a reread), which I am unsure how it was uploaded in place of the correct chapter. I have edited it now to the correct one and hopefully once authorised it will be as it was meant to be. I am sorry. ...

No it isn’t. I’m sorry, it was uploaded in place of the actual chapter and I have yet to work out how or why. But I have edited it now and as soon as the editor authorises it the correct version should replace it. I am sorry ...

  • A Final Twist of Fate...   Chapter 147 - Landon

    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

  • A Final Twist of Fate...   Chapter 150 - Landon

    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

    I sat with my arms hugging my legs, my knees pulled to my chest, absoluotely terrifed as the banging on the door continued. Joey had looked at me, his fingers upon his lips. But I looked at him with concern. “Should you not answer.” I whispered. “They know you are home today.” I told him, my mind already overthinking how whoever may be at the door would be thinking if he did not answer them. After all, they knew he was in.His shoulders sagged, and he nodded. “Hide. Please.” He whispered, as he slipped up the stairs we had only moments ago come down. He sounded as nervous as I was feeling which told me he was overthinking this as much as me. Whoever this could be could be here to turn his house upside down in a bid to find me. In a bid to take me back to their Alpha so I could be his prisoner once again.I listened carefully as again that pounding on the door turned into what sounded like a kicking. Were they attempting to kick the door down? Any hopes I had of that being Kai and Lan

    I watched as the Alpha was bundled into the back of one of the cars, albeit angily, but I stood to one side contemplating simply walking away. The need to go and find Bella becoming overwhelming. Nyko whimpering at the thought we did not know that she was okay. There were still warriors out there hunting her. Hunting for her at the ruthless Alpha’s orders. And, who knew what those orders may be.I edged away from the group, my Dad and my Uncles all stood talking next to one of the cars, no doubt discussing what was about to come, or praising how well their plan had come together. I just hoped their chatter would be enough to distract them long enough for me to make my escape... Suddenly there were footsteps to the left of me as I moved along the path heading toward the house I hoped was the one Landon had pointed out to me where I believed Bella to be.“And where do you think you are going?” Uncle Gabe’s voice held a teasing tone as he disturbed me, my shoulders sagging as I turned to

    We reached the packhouse and it was sheer bedlam. A packhouse I was more than familiar with, but never in all my visits had I seen it in such chaos. The Alpha family descended upon the lounge in which we were seated, demanding answers, until they realized we had been escorted here with the Werewolf Council. I think at first glance they believed that River Ash and Midnight Forest had invaded their pack.The moment they heard what had happened, and the potential trouble they found themselves in, they were suddenly less argumentative, and more cooperative with the Council members. I hung back, knowing these people had been extremely welcoming to me in the past, and I did not want them to feel I had thrown that back in their face; yet I knew this issue needed dealing with appropriately and punishment should be given.But, I still found myself shocked as the Alpha was injected with wolfsbane to put his wolf out of action, especially when he had not even attempted to fight b

    I can't say if today was a day I was looking forward to or not. I knew it was a day I would see Cleo again, and that was something I was more than a little anxious about. I had walked from her family home having learned of her leaving, and gone to the gym to work myself hard, to the point of pain. Trying hard to cause myself more pain than I had been currently feeling hearing that Cleo had not thought to let me know she was leaving, even if it had just been a text. I knew now I was not a priority, her mate always should be, but I had thought as a friend I may be someone she would want to tell, and from what I had heard later, it seemed my sister had had a message or two, and I have to say that hit pretty hard...The arrival of the day had loomed for a whole new reason now. Knowing there was the chance of seeing the girl I did not know how I felt about right now. But, how I felt was irrelevant. The day arrived, regardless, and we had set off early to River As

    I had showered, and now sat at the edge of the bed, all suited up, in my black suit pants and black shirt and tie. I was going without the jacket as I truly hated wearing them. My hair was slicked back, and I was doing my best to look as smart as I could for my pack today. I wanted to make a good impression. I mean, after all, today was the beginning of my reign as Alpha. Though the first opportunity I had, and the tie would be off, and the top few buttons of this short would be undone. Man, was I uncomfortable!Nerves were beginning to get the better of me, which was one of the reasons I had hoped for some time with Cleo before the mayehm of the day took over, but with the very little sleep we had got last night, we had both slept a little later than planned this morning, meaning we had to get up almost immediately. And, I was waiting now on my adorable mate.I could hear her singing in the bathroom that adjoined to our room, and despite the fact she

  • A Final Twist of Fate...   Chapter 189 - Cleo

    Waking up alongside Landon is beyond amazing. The last few days have been hectic, of that there is no denying. Pack is chaos, trying to ensure everything is organised for the Alpha ceremony, but being able to settle in Landon’s arms each night has been perfection. I cannot think of a better way to fall asleep. And being within his arms is my safe place. The place I already feel the most secure and most content.Even in the short time since my arrival, we are already begin to ensure we have time for one another each day. It has already become part of our routine. A part of the day I have to say is fast becoming my favourtie... as we explore one another’s bodies. Learning what the other likes. What turns the other on. It has been sheer heaven. Landon is paradise in werewolf form. And to know he was mine made me feel like the luckiest she-wolf in the world. I cannot imagine being without him now, and the struggles we went through already seem like a

    Oh, Goddess, am I in trouble if my heart raced when I noticed he had walked into the room? I don’t even know the guy. I know he is sweet. I also know he has a damaged soul. A little like me. But that does not mean I am the person to heal him, or him to heal me. I cannot fix everybody who is in pain. I remind myself, as I try to discreetly observe Jorge’s interaction with his Mum.Trying not to smile, as he chatters to her, clearly teasing going off the cheeky grin upon his face, and the glint in his eyes. Their connection seems easy. So, I can only assume that Jorge’s family are close, much like the family Bella is mated into. I think family are hugely important, I just wish mine had made me more of a priority after my fated had passed…“Are you even listening to me Cami?” Bella teased, and I found myself smiling. I had kind of hoped she may not have noticed where my eyes had wandered to. Clearly I had been far from discreet!“Of course.”“Really, because from where I am sat, it seems

    A much needed day off, having worked non-stop with the warrior squad, training, and then helping within the family business too. Responsibilities were not usually so high, but with some finding new mates, they had other priorities at present, which was understandable, and of course, with Daxton and Kaleb now having new roles in another pack our fathers had yet to decide how this would be managed at the business.The business had been a baby of them all. More so of Uncle Knox, but all of the friends had been involved, and their decision had been for their children to take over as they got older. We, both guys and girls had been trained from our mid-teens on various roles within the business in preparation, but in all truth, with out fathers still being in good health and considered quite young (not that I would ever say that to my Papi’s face, it is far much more fun to call him ancient!) there would be many more years with them leading the business yet.I had to

    While I had been brave and had the much needed talk with Cleo, I had been far from brave since, and done all I could to avoid her. Not that there had been much opportunity to see her. She had been busy doing whatever it was she was doing… likely spending time with the man set to be her mate. While, I was busy helping at the family business. Not a role I relished, but one I was a part of, and one right now I appreciated, because it was occupying my mind. Plus, I was one of the only ones not busy with a new mate, so I was needed in the offices a lot.After a hectic day in the offices, I was returning to my place, ready to put my feet up, but Cleo was laying heavily upon my mind. She had been all day. I knew that the day of the Alpha ceremony at River Ash was fast approaching. And that meant there was a strong chance Cleo could go and be with her mate. Iknew that what was being discussed. But since then, it had not been confirmed, or at least not to me… not that ha

    There had never been any denial Cleo was beautiful. She was able to catch the eye of most men, and likely women too… But here she was in front of me. Naked. My mate. And, well, I don’t think there is any other word for her other than perfect. I was blessed to know she was mine… and I had been a fool to let her go. I knew I would not be letting her go again. If anything, everything we had been through would make me appreciate my mate all the more. Worship her. And right now, worship her was what I planned to do...Seeing her eyes all but roll back in her head at my touch drove me wild with desire for her. As I pressed my lips to hers once more. My fingers sliding inside of her core over and over, making her gasp with pleasure against my lips. Knowing Cleo wanted me did things to me. I needed this girl. But knowing she needed me to turned me on immensely. Her hand suddenly teased at the head of my cock, making it stand even more to attentio

    I never had Landon down as being the nervous type when it came to me, but I saw that look upon his face. He was more than a little unsure. But, this was our moment, and I was not about to let anything ruin it. I knew Landon, and I knew he would just need a little encouragement.I wasn’t even sure where that extra confidence from within me came from. Terra, I assume. I could sense how much she was wanting her mate. And from the deep growl that slipped from Landon’s lips, I think it was safe to say his wolf was wanting his mate just as much. This was our moment. Finally alone, and knowing we wanted one another. We would be foolish to waste the opportunity we had...“Oh, is that right?” he murmured, his voice laced with lust, as he gently laid me onto the bed.I smiled, a slow and sultry smile in the direction of the man who was soon to be my fully fledged mate. I truly could not wait, and decided the best way to answer him was to show him, hooking my arms around his neck, pulling his f

  • A Final Twist of Fate...   Chapter 183 - Landon

    We walked into the Alpha suite, and a wave of nerves took over me. I could not explain why, but it did. This was the moment I had waited for. To bring my fated home. And now she was here, I felt like a nervous wreck!I had asked for the suite to be cleaned up, and prepared for the two of us, as a couple now, and I hoped to have a family home built in due course. I saw how her Dad had done things for Aunt Lilah, and knew they were a good example to follow. My parents sure as hell hadn't been, but Lilah's parents were. And, a family home we plan together could be perfect. But, for the time being, we would be making the Alpha suite our home, and I wanted it to be as perfect as it could be.I glanced briefly to Cleo to try to decipher if she, too felt as anxious as me, but her beautiful features gave nothing away. We had made polite conversation all the way home, because I felt it was necessary. I could see Cleo was struggling to fight the tears as we left her home pack&he
