Chapter 80 - Bella
Last Updated:
2024-10-25 16:17:31I 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

I looked toward Kai, hating the hurt expression upon his face. I had warned him he would not like what I had to say. He was an upcoming Alpha, he had to know that arranged marriages still occurred. Especially when they are of benefit to packs. Sadly, when that was the case, fated mates meant nothing. Obviously, my soon-to-be husband didn’t have to consider a fated mate having lost his in an unfortunate accident, where she slipped on the stairs.But, the fact they all knew I would have a fated mate somewhere out there had gone disregarded, without a second thought. And when I asked my father, I was told not to make things difficult for him, or mess up the arrangements for him or our pack. I knew then I would not get a say in any of this. I could not be seen to be disappointing my pack. Although now I had met my fated mate, I was beginning to wonder if I had made the right choice or not…“What if we arrange a meeting?” Kai spoke, his face more de

My feet felt like lead as I walked through the hallways of college. It just did not feel the same anymore. The excitement I had once had for this place had all but gone. The anticipation for the course I was doing... gone. It had been everything I had wanted, to follow in my Mami's footsteps. But now, I was beginning to doubt if I was even capable of it all. All because of that man. All because I now knew his secret.Yet, I knew that this was my own doing. This was nobody's fault but my own. I had been swept off my feet by the charms of his handsomeness... his way with words... despite the fact I knew I should never have gone near a tutor. Maybe the forbiddenness of it all was part of the appeal. I just wish now that I had been stronger and had resisted. But instead, I had been a fool. I could only imagine my Papi’s words if he knew… after he had broken Lukas’s legs, of course. He would be sure to punish any man that had hurt his daughter... and damaging her heart was some of the wor

I could see his eyes boring into me from across the room. I did all I could to avoid looking in his direction. I could not believe how indiscreet he was being right now. We had done all we could to prevent being detected while we were together, yet here he was now we were apart, making things so uncomfortably curious to anyone watching on.I fiddled with my pens upon my desk once more to distract myself. Giving my head a shake internally to tell myself I was able to do this. I did not need this man, and he was not going to break me. I was not going to allow him to win nor walk all over me. And I was certainly not going to be the other woman. Especially not when they had a child on the way too.Suddenly, there were feet by my desk, and I slowly allowed my gaze to rise, up along the body I had once adored. A body I had imagined being with in every way… and our eyes met. His eyes filled with many emotions. Remorse. Frustration. Anger…Well, I had news for him. He was not about to get w

I was becoming impatient now. I had been told that my tutor would be coming to meet me to bring me to my first lecture, yet there was no sight of him. I had already been waiting half an hour, expecting him before lectures began, and yet there had been nothing. Now, I leaned against the wall of the office, wondering if he had in fact forgotten me. Because I am certain the lecture should have started by now. I had gone over all the information provided for me, and knew the lecture times well. I should be in my class now with my classmates, beginning my life here at my new university.I glanced down at my watch, contemplating going to speak to the moody bespectacled woman behind the desk at reception. But I would really rather avoid that if I could because she had already spoken to me like I was the greatest inconvenience in the world. I imagine anyone having the nerve to disturb her word puzzle would likely be an inconvenience. But she had looked at me like it was unimaginable that I w

I was still on a high from learning Aria was my mate. We snuck off at every given opportunity to spend time alone. Kissing her was the most amazing feeling in the world… everything I think I had envisioned it to be on the very few occasions I had allowed my mind to wander down that path. Aria was everything I had wanted in a girlfriend, but I was scared to allow myself to think of us together for fear of being hurt. Thinking she would never look at someone like me...So to discover she was my fated mate was mind-blowing. I could not believe the moon goddess had chosen to bless me with her for a mate. Nothing seemed to go right when it came to meeting mates for the majority of our families, so I had expected nothing less for myself. But, here I was with the most perfect choice for my mate. Happier than I think I had ever been before. Feeling like I was almost floating as I went about my day-to-day business. Cherishing every moment I was with her. And thinking of her every moment, I was

With his words still echoing in my mind, I turned to watch my Dad walking away, and even his posture seemed to show his pain. I hated that I was hurting him by struggling to talk to him. I knew he was desperate for me to open up to him. And, in truth, I was desperate to be able to finally open up to him... to my family. Stop hiding who I am. They are my family. I should not have to hide from them...“I found my mate, Papi.” I whispered.In an instant, he had swiveled on his heels to turn and look at me, his brows raised and a look of surprise upon his face. I think it was safe to say I had taken him by surprise. In truth, Aria had shocked me when she had told me, so I knew how that felt. “How? You haven’t come of age yet, Isabella. You would have no way of knowing yet.”I smiled. Trust him to think of it like that. I guess I didn’t have my wolf to confirm what Aria was telling me. But my heart and my gut were telling me she was right. I knew she would never lie to me. And, when we kis

We had returned to River Ash Pack as soon as we could once I had been so easily dismissed by the woman chosen for me by the moon goddess. I could not bear to be in the same pack as her, knowing she would soon be marrying another man. Another Alpha. It sickened me. I was struggling to grasp the concept of her not wanting me. Not in an arrogant way. Just in the fact that she was willing to so easily go against fate.I had hoped beyond all hope that in talking to her, I could convince her to consider leaving Lunar River there and then, and returning with me. Refusing the marriage that had been arranged for her, demanding the mate she was fated instead. But Bella seemed so unwilling to even put up a fight for me... for her fate... and that hurt. I was in pain, so that surely meant she had to be too? She was willing to cause herself pain for her own pack? It made no sense to me...“Are you going to stop tapping your feet on the floor?” Landon asked, sounding more than a little frustrated.

Seeing us all here together was kind of great. We rarely were all together anymore. Not like it used to be. Even Sergio and his new mate had made it here to join us for the big day. It was crazy. The people I called family. Extended family, admittedly, and a family that was extending further now many had met their fated mates, but they were all here for me today. For the pack. It meant the world.Bella rested her head upon my shoulder. “Are you okay, baby?” She whispered, her beutiful eyes looking up at me with curiosity. “You look deep in thought.”“Just thinking how lucky I am.” I told her with a smile.“Too right you are lucky. All these people here for us.” Dad said, from next to me, clearly having listened into the conversation. "It is going to be a good day, son." I smiled at him too.“I know, I was just thinking the same thing. How the group is growing too, we will need a bigge

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

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

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

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
