Chapter 66 - Lachlan
Last Updated:
2025-03-06 17:29:54I saw Seren frowning at me. Confusion written all over her delicate features. I mean the fact she was saying there was nothing else to stay for instead of offering herself to me like she had been doing previously implied she had figured out last night was better as a one off, right? We had both allowed ourselves to experience the matebond. The connection it brought us. Yes, that had been fucking mindblowing, of that I can't even lie. I had experienced nothing like that before. And I had a feeling I likely never would again. But, I know the feelings I held toward Seren, the resentment, the hatred, would mean a relationship would simply not work. Not in the real world. Matebond or not. She may be young, but she had to know that right? She hated me too, I was sure of that.
“You decided we made a mistake?” I said calmly, hoping she would take this okay. I mean she had been relatively calm so far. She had been amazing last night, and I did not want to spoil that. I wan

The pain in my chest was unreal, but I needed to hear no more, and I had no need to say any further words. I walked away without looking back. Lachlan had seen me as a mistake. Fulfilling the destiny of our matebond was little but an error within his mind. No matter how he appeared to enjoy it, he saw it all as a blunder. A fuck up. He had surrendered to the desires he was feeling, and now he regretted it. I had been used. I should have known better. He had already made it clear that he saw our matebond as nothing but an error from the moon goddess herself, and that we would not work. I had been naïve to cling to any hope of anything else. Well, not any more. Now was time for change.I strode away from Lachlan's family home with irritation pulsing through my body, and tears stinging at the back of my eyes. I had truly believed he had changed. How rediculously foolish of me. That ass was not capable of change. But I was. I could change. And I was going to. I was not about

I had been given no chance to rest, nor to allow my mind chance to proccess everything properly. I had been called into the office to help deal with the situation with the warrior. Seeing him punished would be good for me. I needed to see him get the harsh reality he deserved. The sick scenes I had walked up to last night still replayed within my mind and they enraged me. He was lucky he still breathed. But, I had done the responsible thing. The thing expected of me as Beta.I glanced down at the notes given to me, taking another sip of my hot coffee as I did. I was tired. My brain was a befuddled mess. This was not good. And now, I had Marcus talking at me once more, while I was struggling to focus. I had no clue, yet again what my friend had said to me, and I think it may be beginning to irritate him. We were meant to be working on this side by side. As Alpha and Beta of our pack, and one of his major bug bears was people not listening to him, but today I

I turned to look at my friend with a roll of my eyes. I swear since he had settled down with his mate he had grown soft. If he thought for even a moment I was about to go into details about how I was feeling he was wrong. We had never sat around and discussed feelings, and I was not about to start now.“No.” I said emphatically.Marcus shrugged slightly. “I know you are like me bro, we look out for her like family. It had to have been hard on you walking into that last night. I would have wanted to kill him.”Hearing Marcus say that, at least I could say I was not the only one. Maybe it had not simply been the matebond that had caused that response as I had initially assumed it was. It could be the connection we all shared from growing up alongside one another. From being as close as family. Marcus was right. We did all look out for one another. For one another’s families. That was just the way we were. The way we were brought up. But still, I

The moment I had focused my mind, and wiped my eyes, I took a deep breath, standing from my space upon the floor. This had to be a chance to move forward. I now knew what it was that I wanted. The hopes I had clung to were discarded as they should have been in the beginning. There were no hopes when it came to Lachlan Lamont.I made my way to my bed, kneeling down upon the floor there, sliding out the storage boxes that sat underneath it, so they were now in front of me. I found myself yawning, as I stretched. I was beyond tired, unsurprisingly so considering the very little sleep I had received last night, but in this moment I was on a mission. Sleep could wait a moment longer. There were things that I needed to do, and I was going to do them.I lifted the lid from the first box, rummaging for the memory box that I sought. Realising it was not in this box, I pushed the box to the side, and reached for another. Quickly finding the pale blue gift box q

I sat looking across at Marcus as he told me that he had, in fact, agreed to Seren, my fated, going travelling. It felt like my blood was boiling. I took a deep breath, trying hard to control myself because under no circumstance did I need to bring any suspicion to the man in front of me. He was the Alpha of our pack, and had every right to raise questions. Questions I did not want to answer. It was better things were left unsaid.But, as friends of her brother, and having been like family since growing up, it was not like unlike either of us, Marcus included, to act like her protector. That was what was expected of us. All our father's had said so, and that was what we had done. Less so me, as the years had developed, and my resentment for Seren had grown. The less time I spent around her the better, in my eyes, but I could still use this to my advantage right now... “You think she is ready for that responsibility?&rdq

My eyes could not leave Seren. Once again she was at her most vulnerable, but I did not know why. I could sense her frailty through the matebond, and I needed to help her. I did not like seeing her like this. Last night had been hard enough, but this? This was a different kind of pain... pain I could not explain. But, as my eyes drifted over the she-wolf in front of me, I could not tear them away from her. But, I knew I needed to, because she was naked. Also, because she now knew of my presence in the room, but instead for a moment, it felt like time had stood still. The two of us frozen in time, simply looking at one another. That connection of the matebond fizzling at it's highest... Until Seren simply shrieked.“Get out!”I felt my whole body tense at her words, but instead of doing as she had asked, I moved toward her, offering her my hand. I did not want to get out. I did not want to leave her. I wanted to help her. I needed to help her. The matebond p

My body trembled at Lachlan’s words. He wanted me to stay? That was what he was saying? He wanted me here in pack with him. That was what his words had to mean, wasn't it? I knew I had a habit of seeing thigns that often were not there... seeing the good in things, as my Mum often called it, but Lachlan had literally just said he wanted me here. That had to be a good sign for the matebond, didn't it? But, as I looked at him, there was a blankness within his eyes that confused me. He was impossible to read. Nothing made sense anymore...Moments before he said my mate wanted me, he literally had said he didn’t want me. He had made it clear, despite the fact he could not tear his eyes from my body as he spoke… though, was that simply because I was naked? It was too hard to say, and trying to read the signs from Lachlan was proving impossible. Yet, now he was begging me to stay? He was so back and forth with his thoughts it gave me whiplash!But those bi

I had spent the last few days ducking and diving, trying my upmost hardest to avoid everyone that I could while trying to come to a final decision on what it was I wanted to do. I knew my Mum and brother would never agree to the travelling plans, but with Marcus backing me, they would have little come back.However, the words from Lachlan had hung heavy in my mind. I knew he did not want me, and while it hurt, he seemed to be protecting me. From what, I had no clue, and he seemed no closer to telling me… But his arrogance infuriated me. Seeming to know no bounds. He deemed his beliefs as the correct ones, and that had decided that he knew best, and that I should bow down to his orders, whether I liked it or not. And, he was not willing to listen to anything to argue with that, not that I had even had an oportunity to argue it, because he seemingly was choosing to avoid me at all cost now.I had tried multiple times to speak to him.

The drive to pack was awkward and near silent. The occasional uncomfortable glance from my brother made me wish I had found an excuse to stay on campus rather than return home this weekend. It was only as we neared the gates that he chose to speak up, and I knew in that moment what was laying heavy on his mind.“I think it is better you don’t mention anything about the situation with you and Lachlan while you are home. It hurt a lot of people that neither one of you spoke up about it. Secrets among family are not right, let alone going against pack beliefs…” Cole’s tone was tense, and irritation built within my body at his words, but I held back. I knew when I agreed to keep silent about the matebond that it would hurt those close to us. I knew the damage it could do, but I made the agreement with Lachlan all the same,and now we were fcing the consequences.Cole did not wait for a response as he continued brusquely. &ldq

My first week of classes had been hectic. Meeting all my new tutors and, of course, all my new class mates. I was learning the new schedule that would become my new normal for the coming months. All while I learned my way around campus. And, I had to say I loved it! The place was massive, like a maze if you did not know your way around, but it was so fun, and there was so much to do. I could not be happier to be here...In truth, I had surprised myself with how easily I had settled in, and how equally easily I had made friends. Within my first two days of class I had met Laila and Charlie, both girls were within my General medicine class, and we instantly hit it off. We had so much in common, and when put together to work alongside one another we bonded over our love of music. We chatted as we worked, laughing so much, to the point we got ourselves in trouble! But, I loved every moment of it. And, the girls had barely left my side since.Most evenings after classes had

I had no clue how long I had sat there, my Uncle by my side, and tears filling my eyes. My mind wandered with thoughts of the potential things my Mum may think of me… feel toward me… what if she resented me? That was a thought I had never considered before. But, I had never believed for a moment that my own mother could be scared of me until now. What if she remained scared of me over all these years? That was not something a mother should feel toward her son. The very thought sickened me. Our closeness had always been something that brought me comfort after my Dad died. She was all I had left. Now I could not help but question if that connection we shared had simply been an act? All through fear?It was only as Uncle Harry’s hand touched my back in an attempt to bring some form of reassurance that I snapped out of the pained filled daze I was in. “Crying may do you some good son.” He rubbed my back gently. “I cried like

I do not know how many days have passed since she went. All I know is Seren is no longer in pack. And any lingering presence of my wolf have drifted further into the ether of my mind. I think he has weakened further without her. Seemed my plan to simply manage without her may not have been the best one… I remained at the cabin. I was of no use to anyone at present, I knew that, and it appeared neither Marcus nor Cole were in any rush to come and find me. I believed by now they both knew where I was, so if either one wanted or needed me they were more than capable of coming to find me. But at the same time I knew they were both angry at me for my treatment of Seren. Cole, understandably so as her brother, but Marcus too, as not only her Alpha but in a big brother type way too, having grown up alongside her. I had managed to fuck things up in one foul-swoop. What frustrated me more than anything w

Having shared food with Marcus and my brother within my new home, I now found myself alone and oddly unsure of my new surroundings. The moment the two of them had left me to return to pack I had busied myself with unpacking the few things that needed unpacking, and rearranging things to how I would like them. But, because my Mum and my Aunts had done so much there was very little for me to do; and very soon I found my way to the sofa with a deflated sigh...I felt an unease settling over me as I sat down. No matter the way my family may have gone to the effort to decorate the new home to resemble my old home, I was in an unfamiliar place, and it was making me feel a little on edge. But, I was sure that was just the thought of the new things I had facing me in the coming days. Also, I knew my wolf was unsettled by this new beginning I had chosen for us, despite it not being a long term choice, it was one purely for my education, my wolf evidently did not agree with my decision. I did n

The campus was busy. Busier than I had expected when I had imagined it, I think. Though, we had arrived on a day that there was a sports match taking place, so from what I understood that did add to the capacity of people that passed through. Who knew? I sure did not… Maybe I had led a somewhat sheltered life having lived within the pack, so being brought to this chaotic new surrounding may take more than a little getting used to.I could see my older brother’s eyes darting around as we moved to the small area of campus in which my apartment sat, and he still had that same displeased expression upon his face. I did not think he was going to have anything but a disgruntled expression on that face of his the entire time we were here in all honesty, because he did not think this was the right decision for me. But, Marcus was trying harder to be postive.“The sun is shining, that tells you the moon goddess is blessing you with her prese

The car ride was going to be awkward. My whole body trembled the moment I lowered myself into the seat. My heart was beating so hard from standing up to Lachlan, and I could not lie, it also ached from the fact I had walked away from everything between us so easily… okay, maybe not so easly. It had taken a lot of thought over the previous days. Maia was whimpering at the back of mind as we drove away from him, and as I turned back to look at him through the window, he remained where we left him, simply stood with his hands by his sides, his eyes upon the car as it drove away. His eyes dark and blank. Very much looking like a broken man. How had things come to this?‘Don’t go.’ Maia whimpered. ‘Let him speak.’ She urged. I knew she was fighting every natural urge a wolf had when it came to their fated mate, but she had also spoken of her need to protect me. She had fought everything within her to help me heal, and she knew

It had tore me apart hearing that Seren was leaving pack. When I had been all but forced to agree to not seeing her, I was comforted by the fact that Seren was in pack. She was being cared for by our own doctors, and some of the best around at that. Plus, she had our families visiting her. I knew, despite not being able to see her, she was close, and she was well. Hearing she was well enough to be discharged from the pack hospital had been a rush of relief, of course it had, but that had soon been replaced by a flood of pain the moment Marcus told me that he had permitted for her to go and continue her studies in the city. He was allowing her to leave me. Leave our pack. And, I believed his reasoning for that was because of how I had treated her.Marcus was my friend, but he was also a friend to Seren. I believed, considering the way in which he acted around me of late that he found himself torn between the two friendships... perhaps rightly so. We had alway

Marcus and Cole had come to the hospital to collect me. I was finally able to leave. Relief was not a word to describe it. I did not know how to explain it, for it simply felt like time had been paused, yet I had been here for an eternity. The same four walls of a room begin to feel like a prison despite the fact you are not being forced to stay there. I think I knew every part of that room in far too much detail. But, the moment had come for me to be discharged with my body all but healed.There were still the occasional niggling pain, or ache depending upon how I moved, but it was nothing I could not cope with. The doctors had reassured me I was well on the way to a full recovery. I had been told I had been lucky. But, I did not feel lucky. Far from it. I had chosen not to consider all of that though. I had a future to focus upon, and thanks to Marcus, his mate and my planning, I was able to do that.“Still don’t agree with this.” Cole grumbled as h
