Chapter 73 - Kai
Last Updated:
2024-10-18 16:52:09Having to go to Landon’s room was not my idea of a good time, I knew that much. There were so many more things I could be doing. Talking to my mate was one. But, everything Landon had said was right. If I wanted a chance to speak to my fated mate, then I had to stay here until tomorrow at the earliest. Turning up at her door demanding to talk at this hour would require an explanation I was not prepared to give the Alpha just yet. But, I needed to speak to her. I knew that. And in order for that to happen, I needed Landon to help me. The thing was, he didn’t seem to be seeing this from my point of view…
“Are you able to be a little quieter?” Landon’s voice sounded as irritated as I felt. I simply wanted to smack the fool right now. Everything he said or did seemed to irritate me. Neither one of us wanted to be here. “I don’t want us to disturb anybody.”
I was sure I wasn't walking that loudly, and it was just him be

I awoke with a serious crick in my neck. The sofa was most definitely not designed for sleeping on. And not to mention the fact that Kai had been pacing the room in the early hours, only added to the difficulty of sleeping. I knew he was struggling. Even I could sense that in him and we weren’t particularly close. I may not like the guy, but I felt bad for him. He clearly wanted his mate, as you should, but I knew there was next to no chance of that.The Alpha here was not one to mess with. And he now saw Bella as his. He had got into a fit of rage over his fated mate catching up with a few college friends for coffee, including a few guys, from what I understood. The argument got out of control and he lashed out. I don’t think for a moment he meant to kill her, but falling the way she had down the stairs had broken her neck, I believed, and she had died almost instantly. I hadn’t been here when it happened, I had been on one of my many visits back to see my

Unfortunately, I had to crash at Aunty T’s, sleeping on her tiny little sofa. Or it sure as hell felt tiny to me. I would rather have taken the room in the packhouse that Alpha Grayson had offered me, but Mum was adamant we stayed with her Aunty. Don’t get me wrong, I loved my Aunty, but I did not love her lumpy sofa and neither did my back…“Oh, Finn… sunshine…” Aunty T’s voice was bright and cheerful from the kitchen, and as I forced open my eyes, the strong smell of coffee hit my nose. Along with the smell of cooking. “Breakfast is ready.” she called, sounding far too bright and breezy for a morning.I felt almost guilty now for saying I hadn't wanted to stay with her. I mean, how could I think badly of her after she has made me food? I chuckled, throwing back the crocheted blanket that had been covering me, as I plodded my way into the kitchen. “Morning Aunty T.” I greeted her, bending down

My Mum was busy at an appointment having flowers finalized for the funeral, with Aunt Indie. Dad had said he would stay at the house with me and Grandma, so at least I had him here to help, because I found it difficult to know what to say to her. It had never been like that with Grandma before, but she wasn't herself right now. She seemed to be in almost a trance, bless her. Staring off into the distance more often than not, and when she was talking it was so often about memories of Grandpa.Dad reassured me this was normal and just because her and her wolf were struggling with the loss of their mate. It was hard for someone to lose their mate, especially when they had been together so long. But I hated seeing my Grandma like this. She was usually so strong. So confident. Right now she was nothing but a shell of her former self.Having sat in an awkward silence for what felt like an eternity in the lounge, I wandered through to the kitchen. “You want a cup of tea

I had already had to endure the pleasure of Kai’s company over breakfast, and the sheer happiness that exuded from him as he realized that his mate would not be coming down to the dining hall for breakfast. He looked at me like it was my fault. Snapped at me like it was something I had control over. I had just about tolerated all I could with him today, and it wasn't even halfway through the morning yet.I still had to endure the journey home with him, which could be absolute carnage if the meeting with his mate did not go as Kai hoped. But, I tried not to think of that.And, thankfully, my cousin, Jack had been dropping into the dining hall to grab some food like he always did before he headed to training, so I quickly pulled him to one side and asked him to mindlink the upcoming Luna discreetly, saying I needed advice as the next Alpha of River Ash. Thankfully, she thought nothing of it, and from what Jack said, she sounded quite proud of the fact I had come to

I walked through the trees, rushing quickly to get further into the forest and away from my Dad and Grandma. I did not want to risk them hearing this call. Especially after what had just been said. My phone was in my hand, with Landon on loudspeaker. And his words felt like they had wounded me. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. How could I have been so foolish as to think he had changed his mind? I kept allowing myself to build my hopes up, only for him to bring them crashing down again.“What the fuck is that meant to mean?” I snapped. I was sick of his weird way of twisting his words, so I didn’t quite know what he meant. Why could he not just want me? I was meant to be with him. That is what the moon goddess had decided, wasn’t it? Why could things not just go right for a change? Was it not bad enough I had to lose my Grandpa, without this on top of it?“Cleo, I think you are amazing. Incredibly beautiful. The sweetest girl I know&

Sitting sharing breakfast looking at the ugly face of Landon was far from ideal. And having to listen to the mundane and forced, polite conversation he was creating was almost torture. But he was helping me today, so I had to be civil. Even if the fucker was still hellbent on breaking my sister’s heart. Right now, he was the only way I could get to talk to my fated mate, so I would allow him to assist me with that, and deal with his sorry ass once I had fixed my mess. So, I did my best to zone out from his wittering, and almost look through him, focusing my thoughts on my plans for the day... and of course, my mate.Thankfully, Bella had been more than willing to agree to meet Landon, which instantly made me suspicious. Just how close were they? Had something gone on between them? Would he sink that low as to try to steal another Alpha’s planned mate? Or was that just my over-suspicious mind working overtime because I had barely slept and was ter

I loved the cute little coffee shop, Cozy Corner Coffee. I often brought myself here to escape the hecticness that was my new pack. Life there was certainly not what I had expected it to be. I had expected a nice, relaxed little pack similar to my own. A chilled out Alpha, much like my Dad. But, no… instead I was sent to a large and extremely busy pack, mainly due to the warrior training facility that it enclosed, with an overbearing and controlling Alpha, that I was unfortunately expected to marry.So, my regular trips to the coffee shop were becoming a regular excuse for me to flee the madness for even just a short spell of tranquility, and a moment of peace from the pressure of my soon-to-be husband and mate. He was quite, erm, domineering, shall we say. Again, not what I had expected of a relatively young Alpha.I had been surprised that Landon had asked to meet me, but had felt a sense of pride too. I had heard of him, of course I had. He was extremely popu

Okay, so my attempt at a joke had gone down like a lead balloon. Now Bella thought I was arrogant. Wonderful. Just what I needed. I don’t think this could go much worse. I had so wanted to make a good impression, and already I don't think I could have made more a worse one...And, to top it off, Nyko was already in a mood with me, and off in the nether reaches of my mind, refusing to talk right now. Not that I minded, as my head was enough of a mess without his added input. But as the two of us sat in an awkward silence, both cradling our mugs of coffee awkwardly, I couldn’t help but wonder if Bella would be even be willing to listen to me at all now.I raised my gaze to look at her, and she was staring off into the distance, her big green eyes looking like she was off in her own world, as she twiddled her hair around her finger. I sighed heavily. “I am sorry, I was only messing, I am not good at this.” I mumbled awkwardly.“What? M

The call had taken me by surprise, but who was I to turn away the opportunity to make things official with Liliana and meet her family? Her Mother had somehow learned of our matebond and decided that they would call into the campus on their return to their pack and meet me. I was not about to turn down the chance, for I knew that this could bring the time closer that my mate and I would be together. I just had to face the daunting prospect of her father first…And from everything Liliana had warned me, he sounded fearsome. Protective, as a father should be. My father was not like that. So I did not understand that, but I had witnessed it from friends within pack…And now, here I was sitting opposite the man who was warning me that if I hurt his daughter he would kill me… I liked to think he was joking, but the look within his eyes told me not to be so sure. He was every bit the fearsome warrior Liliana had described. I could understand why he was as respected as he was within the pac

I stepped ut of the car to join my Mum, but before I had the opportunity to say anything, my Dad had joined us. He smiled down at my Mum with the affection and care he forever had for her. “So, mysterious girl, what is the big secret?” he asked, and my Mum grinned up at him.“You are weird, do you know that, Guapo?” she tapped him lightly on the nose. “You will see soon enough.”And with that she gave me a knowing look, with one brow raised, like she expected me to know what she was referring to, before we began walking toward one of the coffee shops on campus.‘Mum?’ I mindlnked, but found her link blocked, just as I had done to her earlier. She was playing me at my own game, much as she had done many times when I was growing up. She used to tell me when I had gone to her, angry about her not replying to my mindlinks, that two can play at that game, and it soon stopped me putting the block on my mindlink to her half as often as I had done. I think it had worked equally well with Isab

Our day at River Ash had come to an end. A difficult day for so many. We had said our goodbyes and were headed to the cars. My Mum had decided to fix the cars home so that ours was just me, her and my Dad. I knew what she was about to do, and I did not know that I was ready for that. Isabella had headed off with Aria, and her family, which was unsurprising, they loved her even more since they discovered the two of them were fated. I mean, don’t get me wrong, Aunt Indie loved us all like we were her own children, but she was beyond happy to discover Aria had been fated for my sister, and I have to say I was happy too.I knew she would be cared for and have that support from them that she needed as well as from us. Jorge was staying with some of the guys to help clear up. They likely didn’t need to as River Ash would have warriors, and other pack members arranged to do it, but some of our younger warrior team decided to do the decent thing and hang back to help. Jorge being one. Ever th

I went from feeling good about everything to my whole body tensing in a matter of seconds the moment my wolf picked up on the scent of our mate. The scent that was so beautiful. Alluring… tempting… yet a scent that was able to make my heart feel like it wanted to shatter into a thousand pieces. I knew without raising my eyes that Cleo had to be on her way up here to see her father.It would not be me she had come to see. There would be no reason. But, I raised my eyes all the same, unable to resist the temptation, and Dex became excited, knowing she was close. My heart rate increased instantly, and my grandfather gave me a knowing smile. ‘Have you decided yet?’ he questioned, and I simply shrugged.‘Lan.’ He sighed. ‘What do you think that man next to you would say if he knew? The faith he holds in you. It took all the strength within me to hold myself back from telling him the additional connection our fami

The day had been a long one, and I had spent a lot of time with my friends, and my aunts and my mum. So many people had come and spoken to me, offering their condolences, many of whom I did not know in the slightest. But, I did as was expected of me and smiled, nodding in agreement, thanking them for their kindness. Wishing I could return home now. I did not want to be here any longer, surrounded by the reminder of the loss of my grandfather. I think it was beginning to hit me harder than ever.“Come on CC, let us go and find your Dad, we will be heading home, I think.” Mum spoke, alongside my Grandma.I looked towards her with confusion. While I would love nothing more than to curl up to hide within the comfort of my own bed, I had assumed we would be staying with my Grandma for a few days still. There were still things to be done. “We aren’t staying with Grandma again?” I asked.Mum stood a little straighter, like she was struggling with things a little and was preparing herself to

Today had gone as well as a funeral and a memorial service could be expected to go. Everyone had been respectful, and the patrols were going well, so the pack was well guarded. We had had no issues with visitors from outside packs, not that we had expected any. Beta Trent was well respected, and they were all here to pay their respects and say goodbye to a good man. As we all were.After that brief moment we had shared in our seats, I had barely seen Cleo. In truth, I didn't know how I felt about that, but she had been swept up in time with her family and her friends, I had assumed, and time with them was likely what she needed right now. Time with me was not. I did not need to mess with her mind any more than I already had. She needed this time with her family.I had said what I needed to, to Daxton and Kaleb, and I hoped they would do me the honor of joining me here to run the pack when I took over as Alpha in the near future. I was in no rush for an answer from them, but I could no

I saw the fear within Jared’s eyes, and I began to worry that this was all becoming too much for him. Yes, my Papi is more than a little protective, but I did not want him scaring away my fated mate before I had a chance with him! Had a she-wolf ever been rejected because of an overly protective father? I could well be the first if my Papi continued along this path I feared...“Papi!” I warned him. “Can you stop? You are embarrassing me. Yes, this is my fated mate, and I would appreciate you stopping giving him a hard time. We would have come to find you sooner, but he was on duty.”A light appeared within my father’s eyes, before he turned to Jared. “You chose to work today?” he questioned, and I saw a small smile teasing at my Mum’s lips.‘Ah, don’t think I don’t know what you were doing.’ She mindlinked with a chuckle. ‘That will impress him, and you know it.’Dammit, I had hoped that might go unnoticed… it certainly seemed to have gone unnoticed by my Dad, who right now is deep in
A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 123 - Jared
Sofia had forgiven me a lot easier than I had expected her to. I had been about to mark her without her permission. And that, in many cases, would be seen as forcibly marking, whether she was my fated mate or not. I could not rid myself of the sickly feeling within my stomach as guilt flooded my body. But, the urge from my wolf had been overwhelming. Combined with the need within myself. It was hard to describe…I am just glad she had stopped me when she did, and that she seemed to be so forgiving about it. I wanted the moment we mark one another to be perfect, like she had suggested, and I had been so close to ruining that. Marking her in the treeline of the northern forest of the pack was never going to be perfect...But, no matter how forgiving my sweet girl may be, I, however, am likely not to be so forgiving of myself. Although, right now, I had the bigger worry of meeting her family, and apparently her Papi, would want to kick my ass, and that is before he
A Final Twist of Fate... Chapter 122 - Sofia
His kisses felt so good. And our bodies felt so natural against one another. My wolf, Hera, was as giddy with excitement as I was. She wanted her mate as much as I did. I felt Jared move toward me suddenly, and Hera became even more excited. But something inside me shifted. This didn't feel right. I instinctively shoved him backward, knocking him almost to the ground. I clearly had taken him by surprise, because otherwise I would not be taking a man of his size to the ground with one shove…He steadied himself, initially doing all he could to avoid my gaze. The tension in the air was palpable... what had I done? Now Jared stood with sorry eyes looking down at me. Guilt. Remorse filled them, while my heart pounded in my chest. My wolf was whimpering at me that I had shoved my mate away. That I had stopped him from doing what I believe had been attempting to mark me. In no scenario had I ever imagined that I would shove my mate away when it came to him trying to mark me...‘What did you
