Chapter 99 - Manuel
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56We waited at Crimson Night Pack for Esme and Gabe to arrive. There was a massive change in the pack since we had first arrived. Many pack members had already been relocated. The atmosphere was so much less tense, so much happier.
The Werewolf Council had guards within the pack and at the gates to ensure security was maintained. And their investigations were still ongoing but seemed to be going well. From the information passed to Alpha Jacob and Knox, the stories and reports coming through the interviews from pack members were shocking and basically meant Alpha Jace and his senior pack members, including former Alphas from the last 30-40 years, were well and truly screwed. They would be charged with such a long list of charges it is unlikely they would be seeing the light of day again. That is if they didn’t choose to punish them with death penalties for some of the crimes.
And personally, I couldn’t have been happier. They have made so many innocent people

Leaving my family behind at Crimson Night Pack was difficult, but knowing that they would be following in a matter of days driving up to Midnight Forest Pack to move there permanently was crazy. I never imagined when I met Gabe that night that it would mean such a big change for me and my family. Their pack has done so much for the Crimson Night Pack and the people in it when they didn’t need to. They could have so easily ignored the things we told them. Or chosen to help just Lola and I so we could be with our mates. But to go above and beyond to help the entire pack, make sure everyone was rehomed in safe packs and make sure that any of the senior pack members was held accountable was honourable of them. Something I think the majority of the pack will forever be grateful to them for. And I can't begin to say how relieved I was to know that the Alpha and all his senior team and former Alpha's would be punished for the things they have done, and for r

We finally arrived back to pack, back to our house after a long day of waiting at the airport, and then the flight and travelling from the airport. We now had some time before Lola’s family would arrive, as they were driving up to allow them to bring all their things from their home they would need. “Welcome home Carino” I smile at Lola as we walk through the door having finally left everyone else to go their separate ways. Gabe had wasted no time rushing off home with Esme. Not that I blame him in the slightest. She came to me and wrapped her arms around my waist “Mmmmm. I am glad that is over with” she sighs. To be honest, so am I. I finally have my mate home, and know she is going nowhere. Can't say I was not worried for a big chunk of that that I would lose her. “Me too” I admit. “I was scared for a

I had left my friends and my family as quickly as physically possible to get back to my house after saying goodbye. Tomorrow I will be going to speak to Tate Carter’s family along with Manny, and the other warriors that had been out there, we had agreed that while we were waiting at the airport. We wanted to show our respect for our fellow warrior and his family. Knox would no doubt come with us despite having already been with Lilah before he traveled down to see me in the hospital. Alpha Jacob too, I would imagine. We will be arranging a memorial service for the young warrior too, bless him. He had been so eager to come and join in on a real mission. I had been devastated when Manny had told me. But unfortunately, it is part of the role we take on, and something we find ways to adapt to, probably never fully deal with or accept, and never forget the guys you lose. But you find ways to move on in your life and be happy and have a fulfilled life as much as

I had been so nervous initially, but kissing him and being in his arms, I suddenly felt a surge of confidence. Kya was going crazy in my mind for her mate. She wanted this as much as us I think. So I can only imagine what Aspen must be feeling. Gabe literally stood there with his eyes popping out of his head as I walked away naked, which made me giggle to myself. I am hoping that is meaning he wants me as much as I want him. Seeing him take his shirt off made me all hot and flustered. He is one hot bastard! I am a lucky girl… Standing at the shower screen door and trying my hardest to be sexy, trying is probably the right word, I am far from sexy, I am clumsy and dumpy, I probably look as sexy as an old woman, but I got to try for my mate right… I stand waiting for him, and I am guessing my trying worked to some degree, as I have not seen a guy take his clothes

I wake to find the bed next to me empty, and Lola not upstairs. How had I not heard her get up? This is odd. I quickly get out of bed and grab some shorts to throw on after going in the bathroom and head downstairs. As I approached halfway down the stairs I spot Lola, already dressed, in yoga pants and a crop top, her hair twisted up into a small bun on top of her head. She appeared to be busy cleaning the house. But why?! It wasn’t even messy. I don’t get this. I headed further down the stairs, to be hit by the smell of food cooking and coffee brewing. Don’t get me wrong, it smells amazing, but why is she doing all this? I get a sinking feeling I know where this is coming from, and it bothers me. A lot. I do not want this from my mate? She does not need to be doing all this for me. I feel like she seems to think I expect her to be like a housemaid for me, as that is certainl

Waking up I was so sleepy,after very little sleep. I went to roll over and my arm was dead. I went to lift it and couldn’t feel it, it was only then I realised Esme was lying in bed with me. How in the hell had I forgotten that she was with me?! I swear I am losing the plot! My mate was with me! We had slept together! Re-marked one another! And my crazy ass brain had completely forgotten she was laid next to me in bed, despite the fact I have been snuggled up with her all night in between our fun and fumbles. Not quite sure just how much sleep we actually got. But how I had forgotten she was there I do not know. Maybe being in the hospital had sent me insane or something. I turn myself to look down at her, watching her sleep. She is perfect. She was still snoozing, her face so sweet and innocent looking when asleep. Haha, though I know now, after the many times last night, she is far from

I sit in the lounge desperate to get up and continue cleaning, but Manuel has told me I don’t need to. The house isn’t that bad, but if I am sat around doing nothing, then it looks like I am not doing my job as a good mate, taking care of our home. Especially when our home is one as nice as this. Manuel has built a beautiful home in preparation for when he found his mate. Ready for his mate and himself to build a family. It is only right, like I have been taught that I should do the right thing and clean it, take care of it. He is the man in the house. I have to take care of him. He provided me with the house. I have to look after him, make sure he has all that he needs at home. That is what I was taught. I keep reminding myself. Though when I follow the things we were told, he seems to get frustrated. Says it isn’t like that here, but that is not what we were told. We were

I lead Esme proudly through the pack by her hand. Yesterday we had spent the afternoon speaking with the tutors at her university to get the paperwork needed to catch up with what she had missed. She seemed confident that she would be able to catch up, and listening to her tutors talking, they seemed to think highly of her and believed she would be caught up in no time. I left the room feeling so proud of my mate.Plus, we had spoken to the receptionist and got the payments set up again for her course thanks to Knox. So she was good to get back to her course. I was so glad to be able to do this for her. I knew how much this meant to her and did not want being with me to be something that held her back. Knowing that she was working toward her dream made me so incredibly proud of her, and knowing she would be one of the Drs at our pack hospital is mind blowing to me. Not only did the moon goddess bless me with a beautiful mate, she blessed me with a

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

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

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
