Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 88 - Knox
I wanted to go and check Gabe was ok, but right now Esme and Mateo were by his bed, and I felt it was necessary to let them be with him. Dan and I were standing in the corner of the room. Both quiet, both watching the scene in front of us. I wonder if he is full of emotion and turmoil like I am. It doesn’t feel right seeing Gabe like this. He is a warrior, he is not meant to be weak and vulnerable in a hospital bed. Not to mention quiet and unable to be cracking jokes, having a laugh like he normally does. It feels so wrong in so many senses. It makes this whole situation so much more scary to me. That probably doesn’t make sense. But that is how it feels. He looks ill too, and that is not good. I hope these Drs are able to help him. I truly do. My gut feeling is that I want him taking to our pack hospital if I am honest, so I know the Drs, know they have the best possible treatment available, as here I don’t know how they work, don’t know the staff and don’t know what they ha
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 89 - Lola
I was shocked to see Manuel and Jake leave the packhouse, but when I received his mindlink I assumed he had had some bad news about Gabe. I hope Esme had got here in time. I let Alpha Jacob know where they had gone. While my family sat and spoke among themselves about their future. Right now my focus wasn’t really on whether they came with me to Midnight Forest or not. My mind was on Gabe. He had saved my life, and now his life hung in the balance or may have even ended because of that. I wanted to know if he was ok or not. “Ok Lola, we will call Knox shortly, he should be there by now. He told me he was going straight to the hospital when he landed. Are you ok?” Alpha Jacob looks at me with a sad smile I shake my head. “This is my fault, isn’t it?” “No sweetheart, it isn’t. This is your Alpha’s doing. Manuel was following protocol, as the boys always do. That is how they have been brought up, that is how our pack do things. And Gabe was doing what he does, being the
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 90 -Manuel
Seeing Gabe laid there like that was enough to make me want to go and find that Alpha and torture the evil son of a bitch, I swear I have never felt anger like it. But intermingled with the anger was agony and upset at seeing my closest friend and cousin injured, knowing he had been so close to dying. And he had been like that because he had come down here to help me and my mate. I will always look at it like that. He didn’t have to come, but he will have had the same pull to the warrior's team and the family I did and wouldn’t have wanted to leave them. He wanted to help, support us and be there. Part of me wonders if some of his reasoning was for Esme too. And seeing her now by his side, anyone can see they are meant to be together. They need to make this being mates work now. They would be crazy not to. I cross the room to his bed now Knox has let me go from his hug. I think he's feeling as hopeless in all of this as me. “Hey Gabe” I whispered, hoping he could hear me
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 91 - Esme
I had sat with Gabe for three days now, and he was still sleeping. The Drs were coming and going, telling me his stats were improving. The nurses were regularly cleaning his wound and it actually looked like it was starting to slowly heal now they had managed to get it to stop bleeding. Kya was in slightly less of a mood with me, she was whimpering each time the nurses were touching her mate, changing his dressings, knowing he would likely be in pain. Seeing his wounds made me flinch. I have seen so many wounds in my training, but seeing them on Gabe they seemed so much worse. Knowing it was my mate that was hurt, knowing he could be in pain, it affected me more. Mateo spent most of the time here too. Though I had gone a step further and was literally sleeping in the chair next to Gabe’s bed. I only left the room to go and have a shower in the Drs' room that they were allowing me to use. And I only did that when Mateo was with him, so he wasn’t on his own. I needed to make th
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 92 - Knox
I could not help but smile at hearing those words coming from Gabe, who knows if he was joking other than him, but I swear hearing him talk and seeing him awake was so much of a relief. And I wanted to slap him and hug him at the same time, this pain in the ass of a friend of mine. “Oh Gabe!” I hear Esme sigh as she perches herself on the edge of the bed next to him. All the emotion clear in her voice. I see a small smile playing on his lips “I ain’t dead then? What you doing here, Carino?” his voice barely audible. “What do you think she is doing here you stupid fucker, she came here to check you were ok. Sat here every minute of each day since she arrived. That not tell you something? Fancy rushing down here to help us without some warning you fool.” Mateo blurted out from the other side of the room, he had literally just walked in. Something tells me he may be a little bit relieved his son is ok. Just a little. “Good to see you, Dad” Gabe tries to laugh “Oww, tha
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 93 - Gabriel
To wake up and see Esme by my side, I swear I thought for a second I had died. But then I saw my Dad and Knox and figured they would not be with me. I was in fucking agony. Had they not heard of pain killers?! My Dad was straight on my case, so I know from that he had been upset and scared. He acts all tough like that, making jokes and digs when he has been worrying. So I go along with it. Joining in with his jokes, though in truth I just wanted to be with Esme. Hearing Knox suggest he and my Dad went for a coffee was a relief. I do wonder if he has done that specifically for me. As I hear the door close behind them, I look to Esme, and she is fidgeting with her top. I am unsure what to say now she is here. She obviously travelled down here because I was injured right? And from what my Dad had said she has been sat in here since she got here? Dare I read into that? Damn this silence is awkward….. I look up to her, just as she looks to me…. She is beautiful. “Hey you
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 94- Esme
Hearing everything Gabe had said had warmed my heart. I am hoping that means he was still wanting to be with me. We may be able to be the mates we were fated to be. My family may even get a chance of a fresh start at Midnight Forest Pack too. Maybe meeting Gabe and his friends that night had been the thing that would change the future for so many of our pack. Perhaps it was fated for us all. The men in that pack are truly amazing that they would be so determined to help our pack when they didn’t even know us, just from hearing what Lola and I had told them. We owed them so much. “You ok, Carino” Gabe mutters as he shifts slightly on the bed, pain evident on his face. “I am fine, just relieved, Guapo. I am guessing you are hurting with them stopping your pain killers though, yeah?” I ask. “They stopped pain killers? They torturing me or did I piss someone off?” he asks. I have to smile, he is obviously getting better if he is cracking jokes. “You had an allergic react
Two Warriors, Two Battles - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 95 - Knox
I walk back to the room as the Dr was leaving, to see Gabe and Esme looking at each other awkwardly. Had we interrupted something? Or had the Dr given him some bad news? “Everything ok?” I ask. “Hey Knox” Gabe smiles “Del not come to see me?” “She is home with Kai” I explain. “Damn, I nearly die, and she still won’t run away with me” he grins. Esme looks puzzled. She best get used to this weird stuff her mate says. “You don’t need my girl now, you got your own” I grin back. “Maybe Esme might like to share or she might want to run away with you?” Gabe winks. I laugh at the look of shock on Esme’s face now. “It’s a long-standing joke, Esme, don’t worry, he has no intention of running away with Lilah and I highly doubt he would be letting you run anywhere with me either” I smile. “It is his weird sense of humour, you need to get used to it” Gabe laughs “Ow that hurts” his hand goes to his side “I can’t even laugh without it feeling like my insid

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
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
