A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 22 - Cleo
I couldn’t bear to hear the two guys arguing. I knew Leo was defending me, which I truly appreciated, but right now, my focus was on my family, and the moment I saw my Mum step from the house I knew she was falling apart. Two guys having an argument, all but competing over me, which was all but the same as a dick measuring competition. Definitely not something I need right now.I saw the hurt expressions upon their faces, but they would have to deal with it. They were grown-ups, or they were meant to be, not that you would think so listening to them bicker. I made my way to join my brothers by the car. “We are sorted to go?” I asked, and they nodded. Kaleb wrapped his arms around me.“You okay sissy?” he sounded like he had been crying.I nodded, not wanting to get into a big discussion right now about everything. I could already see Kai eyeing Finn, and knew things were bordering on an argument if something was mentioned about earlier. Because the moment Kaleb learned about it too, h

The journey over to our grandparents' pack had been nothing if not infuriating. Delayed flights. Irritating people sitting near us on the plane, and then a mile-long queue at customs and passport control. Definitely not what you needed after a long-haul flight, and a kid kicking the crap out of your back for the majority of it, singing the most irritating of songs when they weren’t whining.Rico and Ana had done nothing but bug the shit out of me too. Neither one of them was willing to change up their seats with me to allow me to try to get a couple of hours' sleep before arriving. Not to mention they were bickering non-stop between them about what seemed to be the most random of things. In all, the flight had to be the longest in history, or it sure felt like it. But finally, we were greeted at arrivals by a very over-eager Grandma and Grandpa.“Awww my babies!” Grandma squealed in excitement, running toward us, and I looked awkwardly at Rico, wanting the ground to swallow us up.

Visiting Grandma and Grandpa was always amazing. I loved the pack here. Though the weather, not so much. And our family here were always so pleased to see us. We were lucky to have such an amazing family on both sides of the world. There is no denying that. Both such wonderful families, though they could not be more different! Yet Mum and Dad seemed to be the most perfect of matches. Seems fate works in the most curious of ways sometimes...Knowing they met here made our visits here even more special. We had heard the story so many times growing up, and it was hard to believe that had my Dad never traveled with Uncle Jake and the others that day he would never have met Mum. Fate definitely had its planned intricately weaved in that meeting, that was for sure. As the sight of the large packhouse filled me with a contentment I cannot describe as we drove up the long driveway. The gardens were so beautiful, even in the miserable weather. I could understand why Mum loved it so much here.

The car pulled up in front of the familiar home of my grandparents, and I heard the most pained sound come from my Mum. Quite honestly, it made me feel like my heart had torn in two.‘Right son, I need you to be there as much as you can, because right now I don’t know what I can do to help her.’ Dad mindlinked me, taking me by surprise. My Dad was asking for my support? It was usually me needing his support. He always knew what to do to calm Mum down, and the fact that he was at a loss right now was worrying.But, if he needed my support, then without a doubt I would be there. For him and for Mum. ‘Sure thing.’ I reassured him. Yes, Dad and I may clash at times. It comes from us both being stubborn, I guess. Hard-headed and a pair of asses, I do believe my Mum called it. Both so much alike it caused us to clash, but that also meant we were close.“Right come on, let us get inside.” Dad said softly, reaching over to squeeze Mum’s knee reassuringly as she was just gazing at the house, t

Standing against the wall for support, it hurt seeing my Grandma in bits in my Mum’s arms. Yet oddly, it seemed to have pulled Mum back together. Like she felt she had to be strong for Grandma. I didn’t know if that was a good or a bad thing, but it seemed it was happening…I looked across at my Dad as he spoke to Uncle Grayson and Aunt Talia, and I saw my aunt smile back at me. “Are you okay sweetheart?” she asked softly.I nodded. “I think so.”“Do you all want a drink?” Aunt Talia asked, suddenly deciding to take charge, but Mum shook her head.“No, I think I would like to go straight to the hospital if that is okay?” Mum said, her voice calm. “I want to say goodbye to Dad.”“Do you not want to get yourself settled first?” Uncle Grayson asked in surprise. I could see concern upon his face.“What for? It won't change anything, Uncle. Pops is still gone, and I want the chance to go and see him, please. Waiting isn't going to change anything, it won't magically bring him back. I have

I knew I had little choice now but to return home. Hearing Uncle Trent had died hit me harder than I expected. I knew my Grandpa had told me he had been ill, but I guess you kind of expect them to be around forever, and I had simply assumed he would recover. I had trusted the doctors at the pack hospital would be able to help him heal where his wolf may not... And, as I packed my things up in almost an automatic way, my mind wandered. Going over so many things. I realized then that I had been such a selfish dick. I had been so focused upon my own messed-up mind that I had stopped thinking of the ones I loved and cared for as much as I should, and I hated myself for that.I had looked at my Grandpa in the same way as I had Uncle Trent. I had naively expected him to be around forever. And because both him and Grandma had done so much to make me happy growing up, likely trying hard to make up for the things they feared I missed out on by losing my Mum

My eyes were drawn to the car the second I heard it approaching. My mind instantly went to the words of Uncle Grayson mentioning that Landon was on his way. Knowing we were going to have to deal with him right now was the last thing I needed. We were having to face saying goodbye to my grandfather. Cope with losing him, and now I had to see Landon too? The guy I felt was partially responsible for his death? My pulse rate was already increasing...I saw the strange expression upon Landon’s face the moment he stepped from his car. The thing was, I could not read what was going on with him. He looked uncomfortable, I knew that much. And so he fucking should. He avoided his home pack as if it had been infected with the plague for fuck's sake. This was his home. The place he was meant to belong. The place he was meant to be heir too, yet it appeared to be the last place he wanted to be.But, it was just that, I knew in truth he didn’t want to be here, so could that be the basis of why he h

The scent hit me like a wrecking ball the moment I stepped into the ever familiar packhouse. Completely throwing my senses out of whack. Sending my mind into a meltdown, and as for my body, it seemed to have lost the ability to function properly. I had frozen on the spot... and my wolf, Ama, was suddenly unsettled, pacing within my mind, an indistinguishable noise coming from him that I had not heard before. Somewhere between a purr and a whimper, I think…My eyes darted around the packhouse, so desperate to find the source of that scent. Because the reaction it was having upon me and my wolf could only mean one thing…“Grandpa. Who is in here?” I asked, seeming to take everyone by surprise. But I didn't care, I needed to know. I wanted to know where this scent was coming from. I needed to know…“I am sorry, son, what?” Grandpa stopped walking to look at me, looking more than a little confused. He had been doing his usual trick of marching on ahead and us trailing behind…“I asked who

A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 197 - Finn
I felt Nori’s whole body tense in my arms. I brought my gaze to meet hers and she smiled awkwardly, before she pulled away from me. “Hey Dad.” She said, turning to look at a well-built guy, dressed smartly in black pants and shirt. His thick black hair slicked back. He was making his way to us at quite some speed. In all honesty, he looked like he was about to take my head off…“Don’t give me, hey Dad, Nori. Care to explain what is going on?” He demanded, giving me one hell of a dirty look. I could sense my mate’s discomfort through the bond we shared, and that was before even marking her. I hoped that was a good sign for the strength of our connection. But, right now, I knew she was not wanting her father to find out about us like this, and just as I was about to speak to explain, a petite dark-haired woman followed the man, near jogging to keep up. She shared the same eyes as my mate, so I could only assume
A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 196 - Finn
This felt different. No. I felt different. This she-wolf by my side did something to me. Something I didn’t quite understand. But as we walked side by side through the tree line to give us a little privacy before we would have to go and join the ever-building crowds for the ceremony, I found myself glancing at Nori in what I guess could only be considered as awe. Vala was making the strangest sound, somewhere between a purr and a whimper… I think he may be content… and oddly, I think I may be too…I had been dreading today only a short time ago. Fearing seeing Cleo moving on with her life. Seeing her with the mate mark that proved she would never be mine. Seeing her become Luna of another pack. But now none of that mattered. All that mattered in this moment was the she-wolf by my side. I just wished I could have found her sooner. I felt like I had missed out on so much. If this was the affect the matebond could have on you, I truly
A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 195 - Quinn
Controlling parents, or more an over-protective father were beyond a joke, and it was rare we came back to visit family here. Though, I have to say I do love my Mum’s home pack. And I loved seeing my Grandparents and Uncle and his family. But they all tended to visit us. Obviously the fact we lived quite the distance away was not helpful. I had been surprised when Mum had said she wanted to come back for the Alpha ceremony when she had not come home for the funeral of the former Beta.A little disrespectful in my mind, but hell, what do I know? “Quinn, will you just stay with us please?” My Dad called to me from the lounge of the packhouse that he had made his way to after having yet another falling out with my Uncle Archie. They clashed to say the least. I had already lost count of the arguments since our arrival late last night.I was already up and walking away, but Dad was on my tail. Could I not go and see my damn cousins?! My D
A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 194 - Rico
I smiled across at my cousin. I would leave him alone if that is what he was wanting. But, I could tell from the expression upon his face that there was a little more to this than he was letting on. And, I hoped to find out. I had hated seeing Jorge hurting after his fated walked away from him. I truly thought we may lose him. We as wolves wait for our fated, and he was no different.The thing was, his fated had chosen to date, and settled down with the guy she was dating. In her mind, sadly, choosing a future with him was better than one with her fated. It took us a lot to bring Jorge back from the brink, and if there was even the slightest hope of happiness for my guy, then I wanted to ensure he had that opportunity, and I did not doubt for a moment I would not be the only one.“Sure thing, J.” I nodded. “Too damn busy here today.” I rolled my eyes. I could see my sister, Ana, up ahead with her new mate. My Mum and Dad alread
A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 193 - Jorge
The amount of people here today was ridiculous. I thought there had been a lot for the life celebration of Beta Trent, but I am certain there is going on double the amount for the Alpha Ceremony. Though these types of events were huge celebrations, not only involving the whole pack, but packs from across the country. There were a great number of people from Midnight Forest, but that was merely because of the connections between our two packs, otherwise it was likely it would be the higher-ups within pack, like so many other packs would have sent. I could only imagine the organization that had to have gone into today's events.River Ash had many visiting families from past times, she-wolves who had left, and come back to see Landon made the new Alpha. A new beginning for their pack. One, that in many people’s views was long overdue. And, as I caught sight of Cleo walking through the pack, hand in hand with the guy, I have to say, it was a new beginning for our little CC too. I
A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 193 - Nori
All those times I have questioned where my fated mate could be… as I have watched my friends begin to settle down… and it turned out, all along, he was in a pack closer to where my Mum was from… a pack Dad was never too fussed about visiting… more because of the distance it involved to get here. But, it made me ponder now, would I have found Finn sooner had I visited more?“Are you staying for long?” Finn asked me gently, as he offered me his hand again, he seemed to be finding any chance to touch me, and I have to say it was incredibly endearing. We had decided taking a walk away from the main area of the pack might provide us some privacy, but I doubted we would have much time.“Until tomorrow I think.” I offered, already questioning how soon I would be able to return to be with this handsome young man by my side. The man chosen for me by our Moon Goddess. That was of course, if he decided he wante
A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 192 - Finn
My heart was pounding heavily in my chest and my head felt like a fuzzy mess right now, as my eyes darted across the busying space in front of me. People were arriving for this Alpha ceremony, which meant the pack was gradually filling up, only making my job harder. That scent was faint, but damn was it overwhelming.Vala was pacing so intensly now, it was becoming distracting, as I continued my search. ‘You know you could always help me look.’ I mumbled.‘If I look, I am shfting, and with all these people around and the fact my head is not thinking straight, that is not going to be for the best.’ Vala snapped, and I knew he was struggling worse than I was.My wolf had been like all wolves. He wanted his fated. He had partially, over the years, resigned himself to the fact I had not been quite so much the traditionalist and was not focusing on finding my fated. But, with that scent lingering in my nose, I cannot help but question why that was. Maybe it was the feelings I had felt for
A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 191 - Finn
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
A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 190 - Landon
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
