Chapter 26 - Lachlan

Author: Beth Jackson
last update Last Updated: 2025-02-01 19:39:28

I stood in front of the mirror looking at my reflection. Today was the day. It was now. I had worked my ass off for the last few years to be the best I could possibly be.

“I hope I have made you proud Dad.” I whispered to the empty room I am stood in, unsure if there is such a thing as spirits or not. I had liked to think many a time that my Dad was still with me. The strength behind me. The one pushing me to do better… losing him at such a young age had been hard. He had always been there for me growing up, and as a young boy, I had relied on him. Looked up to him. Respected him. I wanted to be just like him.

My Dad was a well respected man in pack. A much-loved figure in his role as Beta, and I hoped when I took my rightful place as Beta today, that I could do my Dad proud. I wanted to be as successful as my Dad had been. Be as kind, and caring as he was, while being ruthless, strong and dominant. Everything a Beta should be. I wanted to be the best at what I was meant to be. I wan

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 1 - Lachlan

    I didn’t imagine I would be coming of age without my Dad there to guide me. That does not mean I do not appreciate my Mum. Hell no, she is the strongest woman I know. Losing your fated mate can destroy you. Though, personally, I think losing the one you love is enough to break anyone. But, the bond we share as werewolves with our mates is something else; and when that is broken, it can tear you apart from the inside.Yet my Mum pulled through it. Not just any old she-wolf either. A Beta’s wife. Bringing up a hard-headed son who, I am not ashamed to say, is a stubborn little fucker. I took after my Dad in that respect. I know that much. But, taking after him was the last connection I could have with him. That and the fact I would be inheriting his title.Yet, despite losing him, and knowing she had a heart-broken son struggling to cope with the loss of his father to bring up, my Mum battled on through, resilient as ever, never letting her determination waiver, or at least never in fron

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 2 - Lachlan

    Seems my wolf was quite an irritating little fucker. Either that or he liked to disagree with everything I said just to rile me up. I was undecided. I picked at my breakfast, making polite conversation with those sitting around me, just as my eyes were caught by a movement by the large window of the dining hall. My gaze was instinctively drawn in that direction, only to be greeted by the dark-haired figure of Seren stalking past. The one member of the pack I hated above all others.Her long dark hair pulled up into a high pony-tail, and dressed in yoga pants and a cropped top. Maybe she had been at the gym? But I felt irritation bubbling... Everyone had come to the dining hall to wish me a happy birthday, I assumed, at the former Alpha or former Luna's request. All except her. I can’t say I am surprised. While I hated a fuss, and would rather nobody felt they needed to do all this for me, I appreciated the effort they had gone to. It was more that Seren felt she was above joining in..

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 3 - Seren

    Today was a day that the pack was making such a big deal over. Lachlan, one of my older brother’s best friends, had his birthday. Yes, it was an important birthday, because he was coming of age, but, because he was the pack’s soon-to-be-Beta, everyone appeared to be acting like the world needed to stop spinning.My Mum was friends with his mum, and had been involved in decorating the packhouse, like they so often did for birthdays, and I had been instructed to ensure I would be there for the ‘Birthday Breakfast Banquet’ or something along those lines, I believe my Mum had named it. So we could all blow smoke up Lachlan’s ass… I mean, wish him a happy birthday as a pack, and celebrate with him. Anyone would think the guy was royalty or something.As a whole, I loved pack celebrations. Being part of a pack was amazing. The community spirit and camaraderie was something that I don’t think you would get anywhere else. It was like an extended family. So, when it was someone’s birthday and

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 4 - Lachlan

    She was giving as good as she got, while I was struggling, battling with the noises from within coming from this new wolf I was trying to adapt to. He had been one thing before this new development, but this was something else entirely. Now he had gone from the cocky and cheeky character he was, to one that was a whimpering mess. One that so clearly had decided that he needed his mate. That was not the strong, ruthless Beta wolf I had been expecting to receive when meeting my wolf, that is for sure!But, one thing is for certain, my wolf, Tyr, was determined. He was resilient in fighting me to get out. To get to his mate. But, I knew that could not happen. Because the moment I allowed that to happen, he would be all over her. I had seen what an uncontrolled wolf could do, and I had no intention of letting him take over with Seren. She may have been fated to me, but she was never going to be mine. And I don't think Tyr was ready to accept that just yet.I felt her eyes upon me, but as

    My head was a mess by the time I walked into the house. Only to find my Mum’s angry eyes staring at me. Yes, I had managed it again. I had pissed her off. I could win awards in that.“I lost my bracelet when I went for a run, okay?” I explained, hoping she might at least show me some sympathy, or, if not, then try to understand the reason I had not returned when she had asked me to. “So I had to go back and look for it.”Her big green eyes darkened at those words, her brow furrowed. “As in the bracelet your Dad gave you?” Her voice was hoarse, and already I knew this was not going to go as I hoped, so I simply nodded.A heavy sigh slipped from my Mum’s lips as her hands fell to her sides in what I could only assume was frustration. “How could you be so irresponsible, Seren?” she snapped. “You know how precious that bracelet is! It is not like you can just get another one. Or at least not one that would hold the same meaning.”My eyes widened at her reaction. She had to be kidding, rig

    I had done the good guy role. Going against every part of me that hated Seren. But, the part of me that knew what it was like to lose my father. The part that clung to that pain day in and day out was what made me step up and offer to help her find her bracelet. Or at least try. That had been torture being that close to her. I hate her. I truly do. But my body want her. The matebond wants her. This is nothing but a mess.Her scent was overwhelming. Enticing. Alluring. As it teased at my senses. Like it wanted me to reach for her and sink my teeth into her neck. Mark her and make her mine. Her scent had filled every part of that forest as we searched for that damn bracelet. As I did the decent thing. Torturing myself while being the good guy. Yet, we never found the damn thing, and she rushed away with tears in her eyes, and I had to ask our patrols to look out for it. Another promise to the bane of my life...Now I needed to go and party. Reward myself for being the good guy. I think

    The party was in full swing by the time Marcus and I arrive, more than a couple of shots down. Seemed my friend was not about to let me leave the house having had only one. He was out to ensure I had a good night, and for that I was not going to complain.The moment we arrived to the party we were swamped with well-wishers. Most of whom I had already seen today at my birthday breakfast, or in and around pack, but I was gracious as always. They were, after all, members of the pack I had grown up in, and members of the pack I would be assisting in running once they allowed me to begin my Beta training now I had my wolf. The next stage in my life. One that I had to say I was excited about. Following in my Dad's footsteps. Earning the title he had passed on to me. One my Mum had tried hard to bring me up honourably to earn.Once Marcus and I had managed to ease ourselves away from the majority of the crowd, we noticed three women approaching. All three with affectionate smiles upon their

    I made my way around the party, just as my Mum asked, ensuring the food tables were stocked up, and the drink tables too. Vry much being used like staff today, to ensure the party went as smoothly as it could. Heaven forbid that Lachlan did not have the most wonderful party that ever existed. It was on one of those run arounds that I noticed the king of the hour. Beta Blockhead himself. Some slutty-she-wolf draped all over him...No surprise really, we had quite a few she-wolves in pack more than willing to do that to get ahead. My brother had been known to take advantage of his title in that way, as disappointed in him as that makes me to admit it. And, I believe, our very own Alpha, Marcus, had done the same too, until he had met his mate. I think it is just a very shameful part of being a senior role within pack. The lure of the senior title in the pack was appealing to a certain type of she-wolf, and they found themselves flinging themselves upon said wolves at every given opport

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 25 - Seren

    After the weirdness that had gone down between us I had decided to stay out of Beta Blockhead’s way. Though thankfully he had been shipped out to complete his Beta training. Beta training was a specialised training for upcoming Betas to prepare them for the role they would soon undertake. It should be something their fathers also help prepare them for, but sadly Lachlan did not have that, so he was being sent for additional training to ensure he was well prepared. Although when listening to him anyone would think the arrogant dick had been born ready...So, his training was almost at a close. Ensuring he was ready to join his closest friends in running our pack. But him completing the training meant that unfortunately he was fast approaching becoming Beta of our pack. There were no more reasons to delay. He would inherit his father's title. A title that had been held for him. A title that had not been filled since his Dad had died.And, as much as I dislike Lachlan, it was not that I

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 24 - Seren

    Seren’s scent had taken over my senses. Tyr was pushing forward and trying hard to take control. Hearing her talk of another man that way had sickened me. It had to be an intentional measure to get under my skin, did it not? Because with each mention of the things she imagined Alejandro doing to her, my blood felt like it increased in temperature. My anger increasing. This she-wolf was not for any other wolf… she was mine. I did not want her. But no other man would take her.My fists clenched angrily as I had pinned her in with my arms, and her dark eyes looked up at me with fear. Fear that gave me an odd thrill. The moment Tyr pushed harder and forced my voice, I knew things had gone to far…Seren’s long lashes fluttered almost innocently as her eyes were wide, staring up at me. Ironic really considering the things she had just been saying, because they were becoming anything but innocent…“Erm…” she stuttered. A part of me was struggling to decipher what this girl wanted. But I was

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 23 - Seren

    I had come to my favourite, most peaceful place. The hill that overlooked the valley which created a large portion of our pack. I had needed some space. Some time to myself. Thankfully Alejandro had been more than understanding of my reasoning, and had even offered another date another time. So, I had the option should I change my mind. He was sweet, bless him…Just as I had been sitting, cross-legged, my eyes taking in the valley below, fucking Lachlan mindlinked, demanding to know where I was. It was not something I had expected, and it had made little sense to me considering the conversation that had happened at home, unless of course, he was checking up on me. But, of course, Beta-blockhead wouldn’t even give an explanation as to why he wanted to see me! So, in my mind that had to mean there was no real just cause or reason.I am sure he gets a kick out of bullying me, and had believed so for a long time. The nastiness he showed to me had only increased over the years. But today,

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 22 - Lachlan

    I watched Seren leave the house with a smirk upon my face. I could tell from her body language we had got inside of her head. Or more specifically I had. She was not offering herself to some other wolf in pack. Especially one below me in rank.That girl is mine. I don’t want her. But the fact she is my fated mate makes her mine. Whether she knows it or not. She is mine. And will remain mine. That is how the matebond works. It creates a possessive need. It causes feelings inside of me and my wolf that I cannot control. Feelings that I do not like. Feelings I most certainly do not want. This is Seren after all. And seeing her with another man, oblivious to what she is doing makes me angry. So, I had to teach her a lesson with my harsh words…And the look in her eyes as she rushed away told me all I needed to know. Alejandro would not be getting his date with Seren as he had hoped. I had done all I needed to do, and I was happy with that. She would remain mine for another day. No other

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 21 - Seren

    I stood in front of the mirror within my bedroom, adjusting the dress I had picked out for this supposed date I had agreed to, now questioning if going on the date was the right thing to do or not…I ran the hairbrush through my hair for about the tenth time since I had stood in front of the mirror, questioning over and over in my mind what I should do. Surely seeing him as a friend wouldn’t hurt, would it? He made me laugh… he made me feel good… and the guy had been chasing me for quite some time… I belonged to nobody. I had every right to see who I wanted. Until I found my mate I was free to see who I wanted. I did not have to do anything serious...My mind flicked back to Cole’s words. There could be no way that guy was my mate, or else he would have said something, surely? Why did my brother and his friend have to involve themselves in my life?! Why did they have to say anything at all? If they had simply kept quiet I would have been smiling, listening to some music and making my

    Alejandro had worn me down. He was handsome, of that there was no denying. Funny too. And damn, that smile… it was enough to melt a girl’s heart! Probably her panties too, if he tried hard enough... But, I had slightly more resilience than that, so, after asking me out, yet again, I found myself relenting and agreeing to spending a little time with him. I knew I was likely one on a very long list. I mean, how can a guy be that handsome and not have a dating list the length of his arm?But, I needed a distraction from the many stresses ongoing right now. And, why not a handsome warrior?He had training today, so because he did not want to wait to spend some time with me, he had suggested a walk around the pack, which was fine with me, I enjoyed wandering around pack, and it made a change having company. The smile lighting up his face was enough to brighten my day, I could not lie. His words were making me giggle, as he most certainly had a way with them... However, his wandering hands

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 19 - Lachlan

    I had finally coaxed Tyr out for a run along with my friends. He was becoming tiresome to live with. A wolf that I did not get along with was not the pairing I had envisioned when I had imagined meeting my wolf. I had imagined a wolf I could connect with. One who would become my support. Instead, I was given a wolf who could not be further from being supportive if he tried. He spent most of his time sulking in the nether regions of my mind blocking me out. Ignoring me, like a petulant teenager might…“So, how has Beta training been going?” Cole asked as we strode away from the treeline, walking back down toward the main area of pack. I smiled in his direction. This was my weekend away from my training, and I was not ashamed to say I was smashing it. All the preparation had put me in good stead. Thankfully my wolf had been present as and when needed throughout the training to allow me to do all that was expected of me; and I was more than confident I should

  • Fated but Hated   Chapter 18 - Lachlan

    Gripping Seren’s butt, and watching her whole body freeze, unsure what to do, made me stop for a moment… she didn’t know if she liked it… I am almost sure of it… there was a moment there she was unsure, I am certain… and the mixture of emotions rushing through me confused me. I released her body, and stepped away quickly. I hated the matebond we shared. It made things so much harder. It confused things. And that was without it being present on Seren's side yet...Thankfully, Marcus hadn’t seen any of the confusion, nor the gripping of her ass, so when she dashed away, making her excuse about having things to do, I could laugh, and make fun of her once again. “Making your excuses again, Ren? No shame in admitting you have no life, you know?"But, Seren did not even look back, she continued to rush across the path of pack, her long black hair twisted up into a neat bun today, and going off the bag swin
