Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 12 - Manuel
I stood by the bar, waiting to be served. Fortunately, with us being well known in here, I can walk straight to the bar and not have to wait too long to be served, missing out on the crazy queues that many of the people in here have to put up with. Even with the ability to get served quicker, it seemed to be taking an age tonight, so goddess knows how the people in the queues must be feeling tonight. The bar staff will be knackered tonight, though I imagine the bar owners would be happy with the profits. I have to say it was nice for us all to get out again, and have some fun. It had been long overdue. Things have definitely been hectic, lots to sort in pack and with the businesses. Setting up Indie’s art store alongside the property letting store too. And, of course, the new pups. And Anya’s trial. Lilah stayed so strong through that. I don’t know if she is putting on a brave face or if she just wants to move on, but I will be there if she needs me and she knows that. She is prob
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 13 -Manuel
She is beautiful, petite, caramel colour skin, with shoulder length, wavy red hair, big hazel colour eyes, with the longest lashes. Beautiful lips, a beautiful smile. But the scent…. The scent, just isn’t there….. Maybe it wasn’t this girl I’d scented… Maybe with the bar being this busy I was mistaken. Maybe now I had missed my chance at meeting my mate because I had thought it was this girl. “Manuel, this is Lola Castillo from Crimson Night Pack, Lola, this is Manuel Gomez” Lilah smiled as she introduced us. Crimson Night Pack? That is way down the south of the country! What is she doing all the way up here?! I smiled softly at the girl in front of me as she smiled shyly at me. I was unsure what Lilah had told her. Lilah, I don’t think it is her. The scent has gone. My heart feels broken as I link her. My heart had dropped as I had thought I had found my mate, and now I was facing the reality that I had not , that I had likely lost the opportunity to find her. That I had m
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 14 - Gabriel
I chase Esme out of the bar, nearly tripping myself down the stairs as I go. She is sat at the edge of a flower bed watching me with a slow sexy smile on her face….she is gorgeous….“You want to go do that again. You made me laugh?” She raised her eyebrows as she spoke, her hazel eyes twinkling with sarcasm as she spoke. Ok seems I got myself a little firecracker for a mate….“If it means I get to find out what happened, then sure…” I smile sadly. She sighs, twisting her curly black hair round her finger “Best come sit down then, Guapo” I smile at her calling me handsome, but have a feeling this isn’t going to be good…. I go and join her on the edge of the flower bed, her eyes watching me as I move. “I’m sorry I ran Gabe. I panicked. I did not expect that…. This…. You…” she runs her hand through her hair in a panicked movement. I gently take her hand. “Hey, calm down, why are you scared Chica?” I don’t know why but I take her hand, and move her so she is standing, and bring her so
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 15 - Knox
We are sat around the booth, Manuel is totally engrossed with his mate and I couldn’t have been happier for him… Lilah was telling me how nervous he was… quite sweet really…. He deserves to be happy… Indie and Dan are up on the dance floor. Indie has got him whipped… he never used to dance…. But again, I’m glad he’s happy… Lilah is snuggled up by my side…. My vision of perfection…“You ok Sweet?” I ask her as she looks worried about something. “Yeah worried about Gabe… you think something was wrong?” She pouts. I want to kiss her when she does that….“I’m sure he’s ok… though he’s not answering his mindlink” Jake says from the other side of Lilah in the booth. Hmmm that seems odd….“Manny…” As much as I wanted to give him privacy, I have to interrupt him.He looks away from chatting to his new mate with a smile. “Yeah” “Was Gabe answering you?” I ask. “He did to start with, but said to leave him to it so I did. Said she’s his mate and they needed to talk…” he says.Wait…. Esme i
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 16 - Esme
I got back to Gabe’s home, and wow, he has his own lakeside home…. Who exactly is my mate?! I had text my Mami on the way home from the club to let her know my news. Thinking she would be super excited for me! I could have everything I had ever wanted, the career and not to have the constrained, underprivileged lifestyle our pack expected the women there to have. Plus, I had the sweetest, most handsome mate….. he was definitely one hot mother fucker! The moon goddess did me good! And to have him nearby to university meant I could complete my course and hopefully stay with him. I can’t believe Lola has her mate here too. That means I will have my cousin and best friend with me too. She deserves some freedom and happiness too. I just hope her mate was patient and understanding. Coming from our pack messed with your head and Lola wasn’t as strong as me……----------------------Esmerelda No, you do not mark him, nor does he mark you. This is not happening. You know this is not the
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 17 - Gabriel
Oh wow, I cannot believe I have found my mate….. Esmerelda…. Esme….. A quirky, fiery ball of petite, curvy, latina, perfectness….. and she was mine….. The moon goddess may have made me wait to find her, but she had certainly blessed me with her. Ok, she may have a fiery personality that will keep me on my toes, but I think that is a perfect match for my personality, so it will keep life interesting…… All the drive home seemed to have taken forever! I just wanted to get back and get her to myself, and I can imagine Manuel was the same with Lola. I cannot believe his mate is the cousin of my mate. How perfect was that? Not just that, but seeing how happy he was made me happy too, he deserved that happiness. I love to wind him up, but he had been my closest friend since we were tiny and has always been there for me. He is a sensitive soul and while I like to tease him for it, I hate seeing him hurt, so knowing he finally has the mate the moon goddess intended for him, an
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 18 - Gabriel
I stand in shock at the sight of the empty bathroom, the open window signalling to me she has bolted. Clearly, she had second thoughts. She could have at least had the decency to fucking reject me before upping and leaving….. my pain is turning to anger now…… yet I feel tears behind my eyes. How can I want to cry over a girl I don’t even know?! I have built myself up to this point, waiting for a girl that I have been meant to love, to want, like nobody else on the planet, I am meant to worship, idolise and care for like she is the most precious gem in the universe. I have waited, like I was expected to, been so patient, despite it hurting, despite being so lonely, despite my wolf pining for her. And like everyone describes to you, the moment you meet them, and realise they are your mate, the connection is instant, your wolf begins to crave them, you feel the most urgent need and want for them like nothing else you have ever felt once you have felt their touch. As soon as you know
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 18 - Knox
I had just got out of the shower with Lilah having made the most of an empty house, when I heard a loud howl. That sounded near to our house. That seemed odd, I quickly walked to our bedroom balcony, overlooking the back of our house, a towel wrapped around my waist, and Lilah followed in a towel. I saw what looked to be a wolf running toward the forest. That would make sense, given the noise, but wait…. That looked like Aspen, Gabe’s wolf…….. “That’s Aspen” Lilah whispers, she had already reached my side, and was looking where I was. “Something doesn’t add up, he should be with Esme, not shifting into his wolf and running off into the forest” I say. “Link him, tell him to come back, Knox. If something happened he should not be alone. What if she rejected him when they were alone” Lilah says. A feeling of fury rages through me. Would she have done that?! She had run on him when they initially met, had she been too embarrassed to reject him with us all there, and the fact

12 months later continued… Listening to Esme panic rushing around the house, I am wondering why we offered to hold a get-together at our house for our friends. We should have let it be at Lilah and Knox’s like normal. Damn me trying to be clever and be a better host than Knox. “Have we got enough drinks in? What about snacks?” I hear Esme ask for about the tenth time in about half an hour. She is dashing between the kitchen and the lounge, trying to make sure everything is tidy, when I know my friends really could not care less, and within ten minutes of them being here the house will look a mess, especially when Finn and Kai are toddling around looking for things to mess with. Thankfully, Dan and Indie’s youngest, Wren, is not at the age where she can toddle very well just yet. Though she is just as much of a mischief as her big brother, so that was only a matter of time. “Mi Amor, it is fine” I tell her the same thing I have every ither time she asked. Not that she wil
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Epilogue 1 - Manuel
12 Months later I woke up to look at my mate. She looks so tired, yet so beautiful. The pregnancy seems to be taking it out of her. Though she is getting close to the end now. We truly cannot wait for our pup to arrive. We had waited to find out what we were having, wanting a surprise. I mean the pregnancy came as some what a surprise, so why not let the gender be one too. Well, I say the pregnancy was a surprise. We had not planned it as such, yet we had not done a massive amount to stop it happening either. We just hadn’t discussed having a baby just yet. Lola was getting settled in working in the daycare centre and loving every second of it. Her confidence seemed to be building, and the kids there seemed to love her. I think some people just have that kind of personality that draws children to them, and Lola is definitely one of them. She is a natural with kids, so I know she is going to make the most amazing Mami to our pup when they arrive. She had been unwell for
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 119 - Gabriel
I would say thank the goddess it is the weekend, but I have been busy cleaning the house today while Esme has been working on some coursework for her degree. I was being the ever perfect mate and providing food and drink for her, so she could focus on her work as she told me she had quite a lot to do. I truly do not know how she does it. I look at the work each time I walk in the dining room, where her texts books, note books and laptops are now spread across the table, and in all honesty, it looks like complete nonsense to me half of the stuff. Plus, I see how many notes she has written, and I truly think I would get bored and think I can’t be bothered and give up. I have yet another level of respect for my mate, I truly do. This is some serious dedication. And she is seriously impressive. Our hospital would be lucky to have her when she graduates. We had agreed to our day doing this, then we were having a lazy night together, time to chill out, movie night, takeaway a
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 118 - Manuel
I was glad to have had my time off with Lola, but was ready to get back to work I have to say. Ready to get back to training and burn off some energy through fighting and sparring with the other warriors. Lola had gone into the Day Care centre, her first day being yesterday, and she had absolutely loved it! The staff seemed to love her, and she got on well with them. And Lola loved being around the kids, so I think she had definitely found her calling in life. The smile on her face when she walked out of there at the end of the day to meet me, told me that she was going to be happy there. After a hectic day training, and going over training programmes for the young warrior programme, I had finished later than expected so I had already linked Lola to let her know so she would not expect me to be there to meet her like I had the day before. Gabe and I both were in charge of planning a new training programme for upcoming warriors, and had to work on the training regime
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 117 - Willow
I walk into The Spirits of Tea tea room feeling nervous. I was unsure whether to agree to come or not, to be honest. I have not really spent time with this Diego. All I know is, I think this guy is my fated mate and the crazy fool had run away when he realised. Or I assume he realised. He was new to pack, had come in with the newcomers from the Crimson Night Pack. They seemed nice enough and his parents had made friends with my parents. My wolf Fern had gone crazy the moment I had crossed paths with him in the pack house, but then as I approached him to confirm who he was, he looked at me, his chocolate brown eyes full of uncertainty and he bolted out of the door. Fern had been skulking since. Both of us unsure if this was building up to a rejection. Imagine that, the daughter of a former Alpha being rejected. That would not look good. I honestly did not know if I was hurt or angry. I had not told a soul. Kept the pain and misery to myself. Not wanting anyone to judge me, or

My head was buzzing with the information Manuel had mindlinked me. I drop off with it on my mind and wake up with it still taking over my thoughts. I can’t believe Willow had found her mate yet had not confided in anyone. She would normally speak to our Mum, or our sister, yet nothing had been mentioned. I would maybe have even expected her to confide in Lilah or Indie, but again I would have expected that to have been leaked back to me through them as neither one is good at keeping secrets. She must be in bits feeling rejected by her mate, and I know how that feels. Been there myself with Lilah when we first met, strangely enough . Not for the same reasons, but came back to her not feeling good enough, though she had the added fear of being terrified of being hurt. I can’t imagine how Diego must be feeling. I know how many people consider Alpha families as being way above them, and would see a warrior as not worthy of being mated to someone within the family, but our family ar

We left the BBQ later in the day, Gabe and Esme seemed to have disappeared, not sure when. But Lola and I had enjoyed time with everyone. I get on well with her brother and Esme’s brother, so working with them would be good I think. The week off with Lola seemed to have flown by, but it had been so worth it. We have sorted the house, got a few things for it that she liked so it was more a mixture of our things now and not just mine, which is something I wanted to do for her. We have had plenty of time to chat and I think I see some definite positive changes in Lola now, so I do think we are on the way to things improving for her.I don’t think she will ever get over the crap she went through in that pack, but then I doubt most of the others from there will either. I realise this isn’t going to be a sudden fix, and will be a slow and gradual thing we work on together, and I am good with that, so long as she is doing ok and she is happy. She has been doing amazingly in not trying

We had spent the afternoon at Manuel’s parents’ house, spending time together as one big family I guess. A BBQ to welcome my family and Lola’s family. Though to look at them now you would think they had always been here. No doubt there will always be scars and damage from the Crimson Night Pack, but I think Midnight Forest Pack will be the way forward for them all. There had been so much laughing, maybe something to do with the excess of beer drunk. But at the same time, the atmosphere felt perfect, so warm, and welcoming, like we were home. Like we belonged. My parents clicked with both Mateo and Eden, and Javier and Ada like they were old friends. It was nice to see and I think it will help them settle in. It was the same for Lola’s parents. Mum and Auntie Val are now looking to try painting with Indie – heaven help her! But they are also planning to help around the pack house too. Suggesting cooking classes for some of the younger wolves, which apparently former Luna, Ava loved
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 113 - Gabriel
Family BBQ day was here again, though this was literally a week later, due to the fact we were welcoming Lola and Esme’s families. Though I seem to have seen them every day this week, I am sure of it! And from what I can gather, our parents are all spending time together anyway, so I'm not sure the BBQ is truly needed. But I won’t say that or my Dad would likely slap upside my head, or my Abuela threaten me! Still, time with the family is meant to be nice, someone else is cooking. And now I have my mate by my side, I don’t have to worry about being hassled about finding my mate, so in all it should be a good day. I get to chill with Esme, and my family while eating good food and drinking beer in the sunshine. Sounds like a pretty perfect day to me. This week has been so hectic helping Esme’s family get settled, and getting into a routine of Esme being back at university but from our home as a base rather than her apartment near the university. I introduced Diego and Luis to
