I looked across at my brother in a fusion of emotions. Anger. Confusion. Shock. I could not believe he had just done that. The sound of our father’s snarl was hanging in the air, as I tentatively turned my gaze to where he stood at the door, hands upon his hips eyes full of questions. Before my eyes fell to my Mum. Her expression softer. More hurt...

“You found your fated?” she whispered. “And you never said anything?”

Her voice trembled as she spoke. The hurt was clear in her tone. I had never kept things from her. We were always close. Always sharing things. Gossiping and laughing. As much friends as mother and daughter. But in that moment, I knew I had made a mistake.

I dropped my eyes to the floor. I had hurt my Mum without meaning to. I was trying to protect her. Having hated seeing her struggling with my brother being gone, I thought me going too would only make her worse. I was scared for her. Seemed I underestimated my own mother. I clenched my fists in frustration. Maybe I w

  • A Final Twist of Fate...   Chapter 176 - Landon

    I was walking through the packhouse, heading out, when I heard laughter from the lounge, causing me to glance in that direction. Surprised to find both Kaleb and Daxton sitting there battling on the games console we had set up in there. And, even more unexpected, were the two she-wolves sitting by their sides. Seemed my two sidekicks had found their fated mates. And, it suited them. The happiness exuding from them was unreal…“Hey, hey, hey…” I greeted with a smile, only for the two girls to look up, while Kaleb and Daxton grunted in response.“Hi Alpha Landon.” Jessie greeted me.I frowned. “I am not the Alpha yet, and even when I am, you don’t need to call me that, or at least not unless we have pack members around us. You are the mate of one of my best friends. It seems weird.”Kaleb grinned, while Daxton looked across at me now their game seemed to have finished. “Aww, am

  • A Final Twist of Fate...   Chapter 177 - Cleo

    Landon had arranged this ‘date’ for us. And, in truth, I was definitely not going to complain. I mean, what girl did not like to be spoiled every now and again? And, although I would not be telling him, I had missed him. It may have only been a matter of days, and we may well have spoken each day but I missed seeing him. Terra missed being around him too. So the offer of a date was never going to be declined, no matter how tentative the offer may have been...He had turned up at pack seeming a little nervous, bless him. I don't think my Dad standing at the door looking brooding and moody as he could to scare him helped. The thing was I could see the playful glint within my Dad's eyes and knew he was doing it to mess with Landon, but that may well have been missed by him... He was desperate to do things right. I think he thought he had some making up to me to do. But, in truth, I think I could forgive this man almost anything. This matebond was proving harder to fight…Landon had not

  • A Final Twist of Fate...   Chapter 178 - Landon

    Cleo’s lips against mine felt like liquid gold. So good. Perfect. And I did not want to stop our kisses. Her hand was gripping tighter to my hair as she pulled me closer to deepen the kiss. My tongue teasing at hers, sending shots of desire coursing through my body. My heart pounded heavily against hers, as she suddenly pulled away, leaving me breathless and desperate for more…Those big brown eyes of hers were now looking at me, a little unsure, making me doubt everything all over again. Did she not want to kiss me? Was she regretting her choice to kiss me now? I hoped not... not when it had felt so good... but I know the last time we kissed hadn’t gone so well… was she wondering if things would turn bad between us again? Was she doubting me?My mind whirred with so many questions, but I knew I needed to check if everything was okay. Dex was whimpering as he sensed my own unease, and the sound was almost unbearable. If Cleo decided being with

  • A Final Twist of Fate...   Chapter 179 - Kai

    Life with a mate was proving to be everything I could have dreamed and more. Waking up with Bella by my side was heavenly. She may not have been here all that long, but already I could not imagine her not being here. She was settling into the pack so well, and already becoming popular with all pack members. I felt so blessed.Bella and I had headed over to visit my Mum and Dad, and make arrangements for Bella’s friend Camilla arriving in pack. Dad had said he was happy for Bella to have her here as a friend, and if she wanted to work within the café at the art store with Bella when she started there in a few weeks then he was happy for that.Bella had loved the idea of the art store that had been set up initially for my Mum and Aunt Indie. She and my Mum had spent much time discussing, and how it had turned into a bigger family thing when Aunt Ruby, Aunt Esme and Aunt Lola had added the café as part of an expansion they had all wor

  • A Final Twist of Fate...   Chapter 180 - Landon

    Awkward did not even cover the atmosphere in the house right now. As much as I was wanting Cleo to be home with me, I did not want this situation. I loved her Mum and Dad like my own family. They had treated me like family, despite the pain my parents had caused Aunt Lilah all those years ago. I did not want to upset them…“You are doing what now?” Uncle Knox spoke gruffly. He did not sound happy. Cleo was his little girl. As much of a great guy he may be, I knew he would do all he could to protect her. I was lucky, in all honesty he had not wanted to rip me limb from limb when he discovered I had contemplated rejecting her. I would have deserved it. Cleo had deserved to be treated better. I was lucky Uncle Knox was a bigger man...“Don’t over-react Daddy.” Cleo put on a sweet and innocent face now. Clearly in a bid to win her Dad over. I had a feeling that was unlikely to work here…“No. Nevermind do not overreact.” Aunt Lilah was next to us now, her eyes a furious glare. “This had

    The craziness at Kai’s family home made me smile. They were so much fun, yet so close I could not help but love being around them. I think Cleo had taken them all by surprise with her unexpected earlier move to be with her mate, but, in truth, who could blame her? The need to be with your fated mate is overwhelming. I cannot believe I was ever able to say no to Kai now.As Kai and I left his parents, we received a mindlink to let us know that Camilla had finally arrived at the pack gates! I was so excited. And did not wait a moment later to rush my way over to meet her. The moment I reached the gates, I could see her long blond hair as she leaned against the guardroom, and her laughter seemed to fill the air. Whoever was on guard seemed to be keeping her more than amused…“Seems we needn’t have rushed after all.” Kai joked as he too took in the scene. “Looks like Jorge was keeping your friend pretty happy.” He let out a deep c

  • A Final Twist of Fate...   Chapter 182 - Cleo

    It did not take long for me to throw my things into a few bags. My Mum had promised she would have the rest all boxed up for the day of the Alpha ceremony in a few days’ time. So, I did not need to take too much with me today. I stood from my place on the floor, where I had been sat cross-legged along with my Mum packing, and she stood to join me. Emotion marred her face.“So…” she whispered, and I could hear the wobble to her voice. I did not want to cry…“I am not going far, Mum.” I tried, but my own voice betrayed me and wobbled equally as much.Mum’s arms were soon around me, as she pulled me to her, resting her head upon my shoulder. “I know, CC, I know. But, you are still moving out. My little girl.”I chuckled. “I am not little anymore, Mum.”“You will always be my baby, no matter how big you get, remember that. All of you will. This is a big da

    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

  • A Final Twist of Fate...   Chapter 226 - Cleo

    Landon and I had driven over to my home pack, pulling into the spaces outside the packhouse alongside my brother’s car. “You know we could have all just driven together?” I suggested.“Didn’t want restricting to coming back when Kal or Dax were heading home.” Landon told me with a smile.“You know we are staying here tonight anyway?” I told him and he nodded.“Yes boss.” He teased. He loved implying I was in charge, and in truth, I kind of liked it when he did. Since our Alpha ceremony life had been a little hectic, with so many meetings to take place, and things to adjust to, but I think, finally they may be beginning to settle down.Life as Luna was likely nowhere near as demanding as that of the Alpha, but it was sure taking some adjusting to. Landon was doing everything he could to make sure he made it as easy as he possibly could. Even sweeter, was he had begun arranging fo

  • A Final Twist of Fate...   Chapter 225 - Kai

    I walked into the lounge, and instantly my eyes found my mate, deep in thought as she gazed out of the window. I looked across at Bella, she was dressed in a beautiful simple black satin shift dress. Her long dark hair twisted back into a beautiful braid that swept around onto her shoulder, with a simple white flower within her hair. Her make-up was smoky, but basic so as not to take away from her natural beauty, and she looked truly stunning. I chewed my lower lip as I looked at her standing at the large window looking out over our pack.“You look amazing, sweet.” I told her, and she looked up at me with a tentative smile.“I feel sick.” She whispered.“Nervous?” I questioned, making my way toward her, knowing any moment our peace would be shattered by the arrival of my parents, potentially my grandparents too before we had to go and meet the remaining familiy and friends who we had planned to meet in the packhouse before mak

  • A Final Twist of Fate...   Chapter 224 - Luca

    Our house was sheer chaos, so I could only imagine what the rest of pack must be. Today was the day that the last week had been leading up to. Mum had been involved in the organization of the Alpha Ceremony, with it being for her brother’s eldest son. These sort of events were very much a family effort. And family was hugely important within our pack. Grandma had been involved too, and I swear them, along with Aunt Lilah were like crazy women when trying to plan. It was, without a doubt better to avoid them, I could understand why Kai had said he was dodging them at every opportunity. I think if I were him I would have allowed them free reign to arrange it all, and then simply turn up on the day, that way you would save yourself so many headaches and so much stress...“Luca!” Mum shrieked from the bottom of the staircase. I rolled my eyes. “You best not still be in the bathroom.”“No, that would be Rocky, Mami.” I said with a s

  • A Final Twist of Fate...   Chapter 223 - Jorge

    I sat on the bed for a moment, staring at the closed door of the ensuite where Camilla had just run to. My heart racing, from the closeness we had been sharing only moments ago, and aching from the fact it felt like she was rejecting me in that need to flee. My wolf, Elda whimpered heavily within my mind. He had not been dealing well with this back and forth with Camilla of late.I had allowed myself to get closer than I perhaps should. There was something about her that had caught my attention the moment I greeted her at our pack gates. Something I don’t even know that I can describe. She was sweet. Vulnerable. But she chatted to me like she was simply happy to be here. Happy for the now. And that appealed to me. She treated me so kindly. Warmly. And that pulled me in. She was different to the other she-wolves I had met.The amount of times she had wandered up to the guard room with a fresh coffee for me, had warmed my heart. Or the sweet smile

  • A Final Twist of Fate...   Chapter 222 - Camilla

    I stretched upon my bed, trying hard to wake myself up, and was shocked to hear my wolf purring within my mind. That was not like her in the slightest. Only as I stretched my arm across the bed did I notice the space next to me felt oddly warm… that was not the way my bed normally felt...I sat up quickly, only to see I was still wearing the clothes in which I had been dressed in last night, other than the fact the shirt had been discarded, leaving the tank top as my only coverage on top. I heard movement in the ensuite, making my whole body freeze once more, and I realized with shock that I was not alone. Jorge had to still be here.The events of last night flooded back to me. He came in as I had suggested, and we sat talking for hours. About anything and everything. His family… his past… my family… my past… I don’t think there was a thing that man did not know about me now. And likely, there was little I did

  • A Final Twist of Fate...   Chapter 221 - Jorge

    Bella and Camilla walked into the suite, but the moment Camilla stepped into the lounge where Kai and I were sitting, I could tell from the expression upon her face she was not feeling comfortable. She did not know I was going to be here. Her eyes were darting to her friend, as they glazed over telling me she was attempting to mindlink, but it was as if Bella was choosing not to respond, which admittedly irritated me.Kai had spent most of the time since I had returned from home having had my shower giving me just cause and reason as to why pursuing something with Camilla would be a good idea. Why it would be good for us both. He was adamant she was interested in me, yet this here, looked like she was terrified to be here with me. That did not scream interested to me.‘Have you set that poor girl up?’ I demanded of Kai, and he glanced at his mate, before looking at me with a shrug. He seemed as clueless as me of the developing situation in

  • A Final Twist of Fate...   Chapter 220 - Camilla

    Bella and I had finished our shift at the art store, and were driving back into pack. The sun had not stopped shining today. It certainly made the day an enjoyable one. The store had been relatively busy, with enough customers to keep us occupied, and the two of us had created a few new items on the potters wheel. This was so far from the workdays I had endured in my previous role, and most certainly a workday I could become accustomed to. I was loving my life like this...But, I had to admit, today I was a little tired. My mind had been more than a little over-run with thoughts, not only the last few days, but today too. It made for a very tired brain, and a very tired Camilla. It meant I felt like I was ready to crash. So, after the days work, as enjoyable as it may have been, I was most certainly ready to return to my room and put my feet up for the evening. Maybe even a soak in the bath was called for, and a few chapters of my new book I had picked up at the new bookstore

  • A Final Twist of Fate...   Chapter 219 - Jorge

    Training was tough today. Dad and Uncle Manny seemed to have increased the level a little for us. Working us that bit harder. Not that I minded. I wanted to be the best I could in my role as warrior and in doing that I needed to be pushed. I knew my Dad and my Uncle were incredibly well respected within pack and beyond for the roles they held, and that was what I wanted to achieve as I moved through my career too; so following their training programme would be considered an honour.“You did well out there, son.” Dad slapped his hand upon my shoulder as we all walked back to the gym block. Training had been outside this morning. We had chosen to make the most of the glorious sunshine blessed upon us, thought, admittedly it had become less of a blessing as we exercised. Pushing ourselves to our limits, feeling like we were melting under the hot rays of the sun. I smiled across at my Dad, appreciating the compliment before looking toward my cousins, Dario and Xavier

  • A Final Twist of Fate...   Chapter 218 - Kai

    Who knew arranging an Alpha ceremony was so much hardwork? Or was it only hard work when it involved my Mum and Dad? I was beginning to think so. Every little detail seemed to be assessed, and then reassessed. I was starting to understand why Bella had said she was finding it all a little too overwhelming for her.“You want the day to be perfect.” Mum said insistently from across the office, and I looked to Dad for help, but he simply nodded in agreement.“These are going to be the Alphas you are working alongside. You want to make a good impresson. An Alpha ceremony that is poorly planned and organised simply shows how badly organized and incapable you are.” Dad said and I dropped my head to the desk. I was sick of hearing that now. We were literally discussing food, weren’t we?!So long as there was beer and there was food to feed them when the hunger kicked in I was sure they would all be more than satisfied. “Right.”
