Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 73 - Esme
I was exhausted after a training shift at the hospital today. But while it was exhausting, I love it. It all getting me closer to my final goal of my medical degree. I had literally got back to my apartment, stripped out of my uniform and flopped on to my bed in my underwear. I was just dropping off when my phone was ringing. I initially ignored it, assuming it was likely some call centre trying to sell me life insurance or to do a survey or some other random phone call that forever seem to harass me.I just wanted to snooze. But my phone was persistently ringing again and again. I rolled over half asleep to pick it up and answered it putting it on loud speaker, flopping back down again. “Hello” I say sleepily. “Ezzy?” I hear Lola’s voice. What is she calling me for? Thought they were going to see them at pack today, had something happened? “I am really sorry for calling.” Lola says. I swear she sounds like is crying. What is going on? “Lolly, what is up?
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 74 - Manuel
Seeing my cousin lying bleeding on the floor knowing he had got hurt, coming to help us, and ultimately being there saving my mate was crushing my heart. The guilt and love for him right now was overwhelming. Hearing the officers from the Werewolf Council saying he had three or four large lacerations to his side which were still bleeding heavily terrified me. We deal with injuries frequently with being warriors, so we know first aid, we know about wounds and how serious they can be. This wasn't sounding good.The Werewolf Council had arranged a helicopter along with a Dr from a nearby pack which had a large hospital, because they wanted him to be in a pack hospital that had knowledge of shifters and knew how best to treat them. The hospital here was too small and they did not trust the pack members as yet, while investigations were still ongoing. From everything they had told us so far, they planned to close the place down and destroy everything here. Alpha Jace and anyone else
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 75 - Jake
We had been sent to the pack house by the Werewolf council and told to wait until they came to speak with us. They planned to deal with what needed dealing with but it seemed apparent that the pack was being closed. The pack members would be investigated and then relocated. Any that were directly involved with the misconduct and mistreatment of pack members would be sent to various prisons in varying packs across the country. I was amazed just how seriously they had taken this and how quickly they had been able to get this all in motion. Yet at the same time, eternally grateful as it meant it helped us and it meant we were able to help the innocent and vulnerable pack members that deserved that fresh start within the pack. Manuel had barely let go of Lola since we had found her. And to be fair, I don’t think I could blame him. He must have been terrified knowing that nutjob had her locked up somewhere. It had to be a turn of fate or sheer luck that Gabe had decided he would c
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 76 - Lilah
I hated watching Knox leave, but the moment he and Dan had heard that there were issues and Gabe had been hurt, they were not for taking no for an answer about going down there to be with their friend. They wanted to make sure the Alpha of the Crimson Night Pack got the punishment he deserved, though I had tried to reassure them, as had Ava and Indie, that his Dad and Jake were more than capable of doing that. But they had booked their flights and were travelling down there as soon as they could to be there to help and to go and see that Gabe would be ok. To be honest, I would have liked to travel down with them but Indie and I had agreed we would stay here with the kids and wait for an update. And Ava said she would stay here too, though I think she was desperate to know that her husband was ok. Manny had let me know that Esme had decided to fly down there to be there with Gabe too, which had taken us by surprise but filled me with hope that there could be a chance for them
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 77 - Knox
Leaving Lilah and Kai was torture, but I had to be a good Alpha and go and be there to represent our pack to the Council, though to be fair my Dad was doing a good job of that. And I knew he was more than capable of dealing with all of the issues that may come up with it, he had been the Alpha of our pack at the end of the day. The real reason I had eventually booked the ticket was Gabe. Hearing he was hurt was the final straw. I could not just sit up at our pack and await news any longer. I needed to be down there and be there with him. Not that I could physically help him, but I could be with him. I blamed myself for not guessing he would do this. I have known him since we were kids. I know how his mind works, I should have known he might decide at the last minute he wanted to be there. But he had been so far from himself the last few days, I just hadn't seen it coming. He has been so unlike himself, so unpredictable. I don't think he has been close to what he would normally
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 78 - Manuel
Right, I had had enough of just sitting here like we were waiting for Christmas. How long did the Werewolf Council think we were willing to sit around and do nothing? I want to go and be with Gabe. He is my family. He is in there because of me. He came here to help me and my mate. I know he did. We wouldn’t have been at this hell hole of a pack if it wasn’t for me. If I hadn’t seen the need to follow everything officially to the rules. Coming to meet Lola’s parents, and her Alpha. Get their permission for her to be with me. Seems fucking stupid now, following the rules when the Alpha here clearly didn't respect any rules and made up his own as he went along. Listening to nobody but his own messed up head. I should never have come here. If I hadn’t done that, then Gabe would be ok. He wouldn’t have been in hospital with his side spit open, bleeding to death. This was my fault. I am so selfish. I needed to be there for him. “Alpha Jacob, I need to go and see if Gabe is ok
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 79 - Jake
I listen as Alpha Jacob tells Javier to keep us updated of any change. Then we decided to head out of the door and find out if we could speak to someone from the council. Alpha Jacob is striding ahead. To see him nobody would question whether he was an Alpha. He was happy being back in this role. I don’t think it is one they forget. Knox could have stayed up at the pack, but I understood his need to be down here with us, and I think it wasn’t his lack of respect for his Dad or his lack of confidence in his abilities either. It was his and Dan’s need to be with our friend. I was feeling the need to be at the hospital too, but right now I had the Beta role to fulfil, so I had to stand alongside Alpha Jacob and do that. I had to be content with the update we had heard and hope that the hospital was doing enough to make our friend better. The means Alpha Jace had gone to in order to hurt Gabe were disgusting, using a wolfsbane laced knife to stab someone, knowing it would ca
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 80 - Manuel
Rey is going crazy inside of my head at seeing Lola run across the car park and fling her arms around that guy. I have no clue who he is. But he is clearly far from a stranger to her. He is tall, well built and muscly. At a guess, maybe a warrior as he looks well trained. I hate thinking badly of her, as deep down I have no reason to think she would do anything to me. She has said she has no other guys and I have no need to think otherwise. Yet this mate bond, and a crazy wolf who is seemingly extremely jealous is not a fun individual to be sharing brain space with. My mind is working over time. “Come on you big wuss, I’ll come over with you” Jake says to me with a big grin. I am sure he finds this amusing. Wait until he finds his mate, then he will know. He should know anyway, we have been through it all with Knox, and Dan, but especially Knox. I seemed to get the brink of that, and Gabe. We walk toward Lola, and I notice she was no longer wrapped around the guy n

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

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

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
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 116 - Knox
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
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 114 - Esme
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
