Chapter 209 - Nori
Last Updated:
2025-03-15 18:22:18I could feel the disapproving eyes of my Dad upon me as I began to walk toward my parents, but I felt Finn's fingertip gently stroking at the hem of my tank top where it sat upon my waist. When he had so confidenlty slung his arm around my waist he had taken me by suprise, but I think I liked it. I felt I could take on the world with him by my side. I felt reassured with him there. And, his words had told me he was willing to do what he could to being me to be with him. I just hoped my parents did not humiliate me right now.
I had not come here today expecting to meet my fated mate. But, now that it had happened, it seemed us coming here as infrequent as we did, had led to the meeting of Finn and I at this specific time, and it felt just right. The way fate intended. I did not want to be apart from him now I had found him, and could only hope he felt the same. The emptiness I had felt as he left me to go and sit with his family had taken me by surpirse, and now I knew that fa

I walked with Nori by my side, on the way to meet my parents, and introduce my fated mate. Well, as well as break the news that I had, of course met my fated mate. That was going to shock a few of them I would imagine, considering they all knew I had been adamant I did not want my fated mate... But, right now that was the least of my worries, because Easton, Nori's father had fallen into step with me, and was giving me more than a cold stare from by my side. In fact, he looked pretty close to wanting to kill me..."I don't get to decide what happens from here. That choice is one made by fate." He said firmly. My nerves tightened at his words, and Vala was as on edge as I was. I don't think this man liked me. Yet, I didn't think I had given him any reason not to...Once again I felt Nori tense next to me, and I knew she had to have heard her father's words. What I would give to share a mindlink with her right now... to be able to reassure her that I will find a way to m

I had to have heard wrong. My boy was here, with his arm around a girl... a girl that was not Cleo, saying he had a fated mate? No. He had always been the most non-comforming of my children. The one to go against what was expected of him. I mean, Dan and I were never quite ones who fitted the moulds of the average couple, nor the perfect parents, but we worked. Both as mates, and as a family. Damn, did we work. And, when I look at our kids now, I could not be prouder of all they turned out to be.Hell, they had caused us some drama over the years, as kids so often do, but they were all good kids. One was soon to be a mama herself, and I could not wait to watch Wren embark on that journey, for I knew she and Dario would be truly amazing parents. Mine and Dan's children were all settling down to their own lives now. All doing different things, but all happy, and all doing good. That to me meant we had done our role as parents, and it meant we had done it well.But, Finn?

I stood with a beer in one hand and Nori's hand within the other. We had my family, and now multiple members of my friends and family surrounding us. All laughing and chatting as we so often do at these sort of social events. I felt a warmth coursing through me that felt so unfamiliar A contentment. Nori rested her head upon my shoulder. "This is fun." She whispered softly, and I nodded."Sure is, though I cannot wait to take you home." I whispered, moving my mouth a little closer to her ear, shivering slightly as the tingles of the matebond rippled across my body at the touch of our skin.Mum, Dad, Uncle Knox and Aunt Lilah were now busy chatting with Nori's parents so I did not need to worry about them, they were doing all the hard work I had been thinknng I would have to do in arranging her move to pack. Uncle Knox was great at this sort of thing, and no doubt soon enough they woud have it all planned down to the finer detail. All I wanted was my mate at home with m

I was sick of smiling. Sick of polite conversation. Sick of sharing my mate… all I wanted now was to be alone with him, and, as yet another unfamiliar face approached us I found myself sighing. Landon chuckled. ‘Aww, is my Luna tired of her duties already?’ he mindlinked.I gave him a dirty look. ‘I think we could say they may take some getting used to.’He smiled again. ‘Tell me about it. Not a moment’s peace tonight, but that is purely because today is all about us. Soon enough life will return to normal. Everyday life, where we are just an Alpha and Luna doing their thing.’I found myself smiling athis words. ‘Please tell me that means I get you to myself at least a large percentage of the time?’ I joked, causing Landon to near choke on the swig of beer he had just drank, just in time for the arrival of a tall, red headed man.“Well, young man, we are heading off, I just wanted to say c

I watched as Cleo rushed away, her hand tightly in Landon’s. She had said she wanted to slip away without any emotional goodbyes, so I had told her to go before we did. That in itself had been emotional enough for me. This was my baby girl all grown up. But, there comes a time you have to let them go. But, I was happy for her. I could see a contentment in her eyes that was new. A confidence too. One I had seen develop in Lilah’s eyes over time as we were together. I am glad it hadn’t taken Cleo as long to find that contentment nor confidence as it had for her mother.Obviously, their stories and their pasts were different, but clearly they were intertwined. Lilah’s pain made sense now when we saw that Cleo was always going to be fated to Logan’s son. But, as much as I hate that my beautiful mate was ever hurt, it was me that felt eternally blessed, because it meant I gained the gift of Lilah as a fated mate. And, for that I have

The celebrations were coming to an end. We had done the rounds, saying our goodbyes and had begun making our way to the vehicles. My Dad asked us to travel with him, which was unusual, he so often would travel alone with Mum, or with one of his friends. So I have to say I was more than a little intrigued. Perhaps a little anxious you could say. But, Mum looked content as Bella and I said our goodbyes to the remaining few we had missed, and approached the car which eased the majority of my concerns. Today had been a good day, so I could not help but ponder if my parents were simply struggling with the fact they were leaving two of their three kids here permanently now. Settled down in high ranked positions, with their mates. How times were changing…Bella looked toward me with a smile. “You okay?” She asked softly, and I nodded.“A little curious why Dad wants us to drive with them, but other than that all good.”She giggled an almo

We were a a couple of days past returning from the Alpha celebrations of River Ash Pack, and I am a little ashamed to say, I have been avoiding everyone other than Bella. Hiding out in my room, and sneaking to work. That has been my sole purpose the last few days. Gutless? Perhaps. But, inexplicably in these moments which seem to be stuck on replay my head and my heart seem to be in turmoil, and I am not quite sure how to handle it. Jorge's mindlinks are rudely ignored, and his messages go unanswered.I can only imagine how he must be feeling. But my mind is a whirpool of confusion, and my soul feels like a sludge pit of emotion. The thing is, my mind had been buzzing with the thought of Jorge since his kiss. It isn't that I did not want it. Nor that I did not enjoy it. Because I did. But the fact I did seems to be making my thoughts harder to process. My mind battling with guilt for the man I feared I was replacing… my mate… not that he had be

I slipped through the arch into the coffee store, and noticed the almost unreadable expression upon Camilla’s face, while Lola had turned and given her a smile. I had clearly missed something. I knew Camilla better than anyone. She had become one of my closest friends in pack, and I never saw her as anything but a friend despite her role. I hated the way others could treat her, so I love this new life she had been gifted here with me. But this expression upon her face was reminicsent of our time in pack together, which bothered me.I have always felt we shared a connections, and I had always been able to tell how she was feeling but right now she seemed guarded. It was hard to tell what she was feeling. I edged over to the counter, where the coffee was waiting that Lola had linked me to come and collect. I could not imagine for a second that Lola was the type of person to intentionally upset someone. But the tension sitting between the two was awkward,

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

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."
A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 236 - Kai
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.”

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
