Blind Fate: The Beta's Regret 30 - Conquest, The First Horseman
Ruin I’ve gone and done it. I’ve told her about what I did and how I’m responsible for her losing her sight and now she’s looking at me as if I’ve destroyed her entire world. A dagger to my heart would feel less painful. “I don’t… understand,” she says, shaking her head. “How are you responsible? What did… What did you do?” I swallow deeply and take a step back from her, dropping my hands from her face and breathing out a sigh. “I was young and cocky, thinking I didn’t need help when I barged inside. One of the men used your mother as a shield while holding a gun to her head, but he got too nervous and fired before the threat even left his lips.” The image has stayed with me to this day; the fear in their eyes as I showed them my true form because I thought I was more powerful than lesser wolf shifters. Then, the scream and the look of horror on the little girl’s face as she looked at me. She went blind because she, an innocent, saw my true form. Ryker has restricted my powers si
Blind Fate: The Beta's Regret 31 - A Little Bit of Truth
Chloe JaneI thought I was ready for answers, but nothing could have prepared me for this.As I retreat to my bedroom, my fingers tremble against the cold doorknob. The revelation, the shock, and now this heavy silence consume me, drowning me in a sea of confusion and pain. I close the door behind me; the click echoing in the room like the final word in a long and terrible argument. My back slides down against it, and I sit there on the floor, my knees drawn up to my chest.The darkness of the room doesn’t bother me. It’s been my constant companion since that fateful day. But tonight, it feels different. It’s heavier, suffocating, filled with the weight of truths I never wanted to know.Ruin’s words replay in my head, each one a hammer blow to the fragile construct of my world. Seeing his true form caused my blindness? How can I even begin to process this?Tears threaten to spill, but I hold them back. I’ve cried enough over the years, and tonight, I refuse to let the tears win. It’s
Blind Fate: The Beta's Regret 32 - Waking Up Next To Her
RuinWaking up with Chloe Jane in my arms is a feeling I’ve never known before. It’s like all the chaos and fear that’s been gnawing at my insides is silent for once. For the first time since this bloody mess started, I allow myself a moment of peace, just laying here, feeling her breathe against me.She’s curled up against me, her back pressed into my chest. My arm is draped over her, holding her close, and I can’t help but think that this is where she belongs, right here with me. The thought is both comforting and terrifying because I know how dangerous our world is. But right now, in this moment, I let myself forget all that. I just focus on her, on the softness of her skin, the gentle rise and fall of her chest.She shifts in her sleep, moving closer to me, her pert arse against my cock, and I feel a ripple of desire run through my body. Bloody hell, she’s irresistible. She whimpers softly, and then, to my utter surprise, she moans my name. It’s almost my undoing.“Fuck,” I say u
Blind Fate: The Beta's Regret 33 - The Meadow Part 2
Chloe Jane“Finding meadows seems to be a specialty of yours,” I say as Ruin leads me away from the cabin. It’s a humid day outside, but Ruin says it’s incredibly overcast; the type where you know a storm is about to hit.“Well, I know what you like, dove, so that makes it easy for me,” he says, then he lifts my hand and kisses it. Something happened between us last night, something that’s made me be more bold with him and vice versa. During breakfast together, he would take every opportunity to caress my skin with his fingers. It’s almost as if he’s getting more comfortable with his feelings for me, and I know he feels something for me too. I could tell from the way he allowed me to touch him this morning and the way he didn’t stiffen up when I called him by his real name.“Alright, this seems to be it,” he says, and I can hear the gentle lapping of a body of water close by. “Give me a sec.”He lets go of my hand and I breathe in the hot air while listening to him move about. I can
Blind Fate: The Beta's Regret 34 - The Consequence Of Being Honest
RuinI hold her and in one swift motion, I spin us around so she’s beneath me. “My mark, dove … I want to claim you.”A tremble shoots through her body and I grit my teeth. She has no idea how much I really want her, how I’ve been holding back from this and honestly, it scares me just how much I want to lay claim to her supple body.She gasps, her arms tightening around my neck. “You … want to claim me? Right here?”I lean down and pepper kisses down her neck, gently biting down on her shoulder. “I’ve wanted to claim you since your first heat, and fuck me, it was difficult to hold back,” I say, then I lift up, frowning. “But only if you want it, too. I won’t force my mark on you, dove.”She bites her bottom lip and I draw my hand to her mouth, pulling that lip from between her teeth. “You can say no, Chloe Jane. You don’t have to do this just because I want it.”Then she shakes her head. “No, it’s not that … It’s just…” she trails off, tears slipping down the side of her face. “This i
Blind Fate: The Beta's Regret 35 - Mine / Yours
RuinShe looks up at me with such trust in her eyes and it shatters and heals my heart anew. “It’s going to hurt for a moment, but I promise I’ll make you feel good,” I say and she nods. “If it’s too much, please tell me, dove.”“I will,” she says and I watch as she swallows deeply. Taking her hand I’m still holding, I move it above her head and get myself ready, hoping to Gods that I don’t get carried away.I breathe out, then grit my teeth as I slowly push inside her. Fuck, she’s so tight around me. Everything in me wants to drive home and fuck her hard, but I know I can’t … she needs gentle, not the beast yet.She sucks in a sharp breath and I swallow the sound with a kiss as I slowly push in all the way, her heartbeat matching its tempo with mine as I start to move slowly. Her body is tense as I move against her, getting her accustomed to my size.The thunder rumbles overhead, a soundtrack to the passion that’s unfurling between us. I deepen the kiss, my tongue meeting hers, explo
Blind Fate: The Beta's Regret 36 - Afterglow
Chloe Jane Waking up in Ruin’s arms feels like waking up in a dream – one I never want to end. His breathing is steady, a soothing rhythm that syncs with the quiet of the morning. In this moment, as I lie here, I realize I can hear something else, something faint and distant – Ruin’s thoughts. But they sound different, like a murmur in a language I don’t understand. It’s both intriguing and perplexing, this new aspect of our bond. I snuggle closer to him, trying to make sense of this newfound connection. Ruin stirs, and I sense him waking up. “Good morning, dove,” he whispers, his voice a low rumble that resonates through me. He kisses the top of my head, a sweet gesture that makes my heart flutter. “Did you sleep well?” I smile, my face still buried in the crook of his neck. “Yes, thanks to you. You make me feel so safe, Ruin.” He chuckles softly. “I’m just glad I can be here for you, Chloe Jane.” We talk for a bit, the comfort of our conversation making me feel more connecte
Blind Fate: The Beta's Regret 37 - Spinning Wheel
Ruin As dawn creeps through the curtains, I stir from a deep, peaceful sleep, the kind I haven’t known in years. The warmth of Chloe Jane’s presence beside me is a comfort that has quickly become a necessity. But as I reach out, expecting to find her there, my hand meets only the cold, empty sheets. Panic grips me as I throw off the covers and jump out of bed, my heart racing. “Chloe Jane!” I call out, my voice echoing in the silent cabin. No response. My mind races with worst-case scenarios. Did she wander outside? Is she hurt? The thought of her in any kind of danger sends a surge of adrenaline through me. I hurry out of the bedroom, every muscle tensed, prepared for anything. But nothing could have prepared me for what I see. Chloe Jane is sitting in the middle of the living room on the single seater, her hands moving rhythmically in the air. Her eyes, usually a soft unseeing opal with a blue ring, are completely white, like frosted glass. My first thought is fear—has someth

Blind Fate: The Beta's Regret Prologue - E. B., D. K.
Phoebe The forest always feels like a different world, a place where I can shed the weight of expectations and just be Phoebe. Not Phoebe, the daughter of Horseman Conquest and A Fate, not the leader-in-waiting of the next generation, just... me. Here, I can escape the destiny that’s been mine since before I was born. It’s a heavy crown, one that requires me to be more than I sometimes feel capable of being. My parents, Goddess bless them, they try to understand, but there’s a part of this journey I have to navigate alone. My brothers, too, they’re caught up in their own destinies, each of us a cog in a machine set in motion before we were even born. Today, the forest feels alive, almost buzzing with a silent energy that speaks directly to my soul. I wander, letting my feet guide me, drawn deeper into the heart of this secluded place. There’s a part of me that dreads returning home, to plaster a smile on my face and pretend all is well. It’s exhausting, playing that role when in
Blind Fate: The Beta's Regret Epilogue - A New Mission… Fatherhood
Deacon The room’s dimmed to just a whisper of light, casting soft shadows across Chloe Jane and our daughter, both of them sleeping soundly. It’s quiet now. The earlier flurry of visitors with their well-wishes and blessings has ebbed away, leaving just the three of us in a peaceful bubble. I’m sitting in a chair pulled up close to the bed, elbows on my knees, chin on my hands, just watching them. Chloe Jane’s got this peaceful look on her face, the kind of serenity you don’t often find in the waking world. And our daughter, nestled in her little bassinet next to her, is just as tranquil. It’s a picture I wish I could frame, keep safe forever. I lean back; the chair creaking softly under my weight, and let out a breath I didn’t realize I’d been holding. It’s moments like these, rare and fleeting, that make you ponder the grand scheme of things. The Creators had a plan for me, a path laid out since the dawn of my existence. Being a Horseman comes with its burdens, its expectatio
Blind Fate: The Beta's Regret 86 - It's All Been Worth It
Chloe JaneThe world snaps into sharp focus with a jolt, my body tensing as a sharp pain slices through my belly, ripping me from the depths of sleep. My breath catches, a soft whimper escaping as I instinctively reach for my stomach, the realization crashing over me like a wave.Deacon is by my side in an instant, his eyes wide with concern and sleep-fuzzed confusion. “Chloe Jane? What is it? What’s wrong?”“It’s … I think it’s time,” I manage to gasp out, another wave of pain crashing over me.“Bloody hell,” he mutters, more to himself than to me, as he switches on the lamp. The soft light fills the room, casting shadows that dance across the walls, doing little to ease the growing tension.He helps me sit up, his movements gentle but quick, his concern palpable. “Let’s get you comfortable, yeah?” he says, helping me into a robe. His voice is steady, but I can hear the undercurrent of worry, the faintest tremor that betrays his nerves.I nod, leaning heavily on him as another contra
Blind Fate: The Beta's Regret 85 - The Next Sovereign
Chloe JaneSitting across from Ryker in his office, the seriousness of the moment weighs heavily on me. The room feels too large, his desk a barrier of polished wood, but I’m here with a purpose that fuels my resolve. The shadows cast by the low light seem to dance around him, making him appear both as the formidable Alpha he is and the mentor I need him to be at this moment.“Ryker, I’ve been thinking a lot about what my next steps should be,” I start, my voice steady despite the fluttering in my stomach. “With my father...with what happened, there’s a void in leadership, and I believe I should step in. To lead in his place, as Sovereign.”Ryker leans back in his chair, his expression unreadable. The silence stretches between us, thick and heavy, until he finally nods, his demeanor serious. “It’s a bold move, Chloe Jane. You have the vision and the heart for it, but it’s not going to be easy. Especially not in the current climate.”I nod, expecting no less. “I know it won’t be. But
Blind Fate: The Beta's Regret 84 - A Different Kind Of Reception
RuinI never expected to feel the absolute completion that came with seeing Chloe Jane walking down the aisle toward me. I thought I was made of stronger stuff, but apparently not when it comes to the love of my life.As it should be.The moment she steps into my arms for our first dance, it’s like the world shifts under my feet. I’ve faced down monsters, fought battles that would turn a weaker man’s blood to ice, but nothing, absolutely nothing, compares to the weight of her gaze on me, filled with love and trust.I pull her closer, our bodies moving together in rhythm with the music, a soft melody that somehow seems to echo the beat of our hearts. “You’re bloody stunning, love,” I whisper, my voice rough with emotion. “Never thought I’d be the type to get all twisted up inside over a dance.”Chloe Jane laughs, that sound that’s come to mean everything to me. “And yet, here you are,” she says, her hands resting on my shoulders, her eyes sparkling. “Dancing with your wife in front of
Blind Fate: The Beta's Regret 83 - Wedding Day
Chloe JaneThe air feels charged today, thick with anticipation and the kind of nervous energy that makes my skin prickle. I’m standing in the bridal room, my reflection staring back at me, barely recognizable. My belly is massive now, a constant reminder of the life Deacon and I have created together. It’s hard to believe that in just a few moments, I’ll be walking down the aisle, making everything official in the eyes of our pack and the powerful Alphas gathered here today.Leianna is with me, her presence a calming force amidst the chaos of my thoughts. She’s been my rock through all of this. I couldn’t ask for a better friend or a better person to be here with me today. As I pace back and forth, trying to quell the nausea that’s been my constant companion this evening. I halt my pacing and look at her, desperation clear in my gaze. [“I don’t know if I can do this,”] I sign, my hands shaky. [“Chloe Jane, everything will be perfect,”] she signs, her hands moving with grace. [“Yo
Blind Fate: The Beta's Regret 82 - Names Are Shackles
RuinI’m sitting across from Ryker, my hands clenched into fists on my knees. The silence in the office is thick, almost tangible, as I muster the courage to voice what’s been haunting me for years. Ryker’s gaze is steady, patient, waiting for me to speak.“I want to tell Chloe Jane about my past,” I finally say, the words tasting like ash in my mouth.Ryker’s eyebrows shoot up, surprise etching his features for a moment before he leans back in his chair, nodding slowly. “That’s a big step, Ruin. But it’s a good one. Purging yourself of that past... Chloe Jane will understand. She loves you.”I nod, not entirely convinced but appreciating his support. “Yeah, I just... I don’t want there to be secrets between us. Not about something this big; something that shaped me this round of my reincarnation.”“Good man,” Ryker says, his voice warm with approval. “You’re doing the right thing.”Ryker was the one who found me starving and out of my mind on the streets. He’s the one who took me in
Blind Fate: The Beta's Regret 81 - Wedding Planning
Chloe JaneI’m seated in the cozy living room of our cottage, surrounded by wedding planners and notebooks. The idea of planning a wedding in the middle of the War of The Five feels surreal, yet here I am, trying to pick out floral arrangements and seating charts. Ryker had gently insisted that we invite the Alphas of our allied packs, a strategic move given the circumstances of the war. I understand the necessity, though it’s far from the small ceremony I originally wanted. But these are strange times now. We need to show our allies that we appreciate them, even if it’s only a wedding.A knock on the door pulls me from my thoughts. I’m expecting Leianna, and a smile spreads across my face at the thought of spending the afternoon with her. I hurry over and open the door to find her standing there, a tentative smile on her face.[“Hey, come in,”] I sign, stepping aside to let her through. She nods, her smile growing as she steps into the warmth of the cottage.After a light lunch, wh
Blind Fate: The Beta's Regret 80 - A Safe Haven
Ruin “Spent years blind, only for my fiance to blind me again,” I can’t help but chuckle at Chloe Jane’s words as I lead her into the forest behind the pack house. She’s been complaining about the blindfold for the last few minutes, but I want her to have the full effect of the gift I’ve been working on since she’s been gone. “Oh, aren't we overdramatic. Do Fates have zero patience or something? Hold your horses, we’re almost there, dove,” I say as we walk, only for her to pout more. She’s only been back for a day and she’s already more bossy than before, bloody hell. As we step into the clearing, I can’t help but feel nervous at what her reaction might be. Will she like it? Will she say it’s silly? I suppose I’ll find out in a few seconds. I come up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist. “I’ve been working on this for a while now,” I murmur into her ear. “Welcome home, love.” Then I kiss her soft cheek and remove her blind fold from her eyes. She sucks in a sharp breat
