Chapter 34 - Lachlan
Last Updated:
2025-02-07 17:41:18I saw Seren flinch the moment my fist impacted with the countertop, and my body flooded with guilt. She was not meant to be scared of me. Respect me, yes. Being scared of me, not so much. Tyr snarled angrily at me.
My wolf may do this apparent disappearing act, which seemed to be happening on a more regularly basis of late, but he also seemed skilled in lingering between the two states it appeared. Monitoring what was happening, so he knew when he may be needed. Shame he had not done that last night when I had needed him. But, it seemed he only bothered to come back when it related to Seren… his priority was most definitely on his fated mate.
I chose to ignore my wolf right now, his temper tantrums were growing tiresome, and I still had a headache, so dealing with another moodswing from an angry wolf was not something I wanted to deal with. He just needed to deal with the decisions I was making in regard to Seren. Surely he could understand why

I sat staring out of the window, unable to help but consider the inexplicable desire Lachlan seemed to have to make me think he was not all bad. It was like his own mind was in a tug-of-war with itself. One minute he felt the need to be nasty, the next he was trying to convince me he was not all bad… did he even know what he wanted? No. He did not want me, I knew that much. This was Lachlan after all. My opinion had rarely ever mattered to him.Did it really matter? I didn’t matter to him. I was part of the family he had grown up alongside. Our mothers both close friends, my father becoming a father figure, alongside our Alpha when Lachlan's father had passed away. A terrible moment for all our pack, but obviously, a devestating moment for Lachlan. I don't think he had ever been the same since. We had always been around one another. Obviously, that would change as I met my fated mate and likely left pack…“You look deep in thought, Ren.” Lachlan’s voice interrupted my thoughts, bring

I had done it again. I had allowed my matebond to take over. Having Seren so close. The scent of her was overwhelming… and before I knew it she was standing between my legs, and I was suggesting she kissed me. Or, perhaps I should say, Tyr was suggesting that… that sure felt like those words were somewhat pushed… but the thing was in that moment I don’t think I disagreed. I was curious what her lips would feel like on mine. And the look in her eyes told me she was perhaps a little curious too...Her body that close to mine felt strangely right. My fingers teasing along the soft skin of her thigh, as she trembled ever so slightly under my touch made my cock begin to twitch within my pants in a way I had not expected to happen for her… This was Seren. I hated her. I did not want her. My body was not meant to react in such a way to her. But it seemed it was more than reacting to her, it was screaming out like it wanted to her..

My birthday was fast approaching, and I honestly could not wait! The birthday when a wolf comes of age is one of the most important days within a werewolves lives. That and meeting their fated mate. But, I doubted that would happen anytime soon, and I was in no rush for a mate. So, right now I was purely focused upon coming of age, and finally meeting my wolf.I hoped she would be fiery and fun. I needed a wolf to offer me support and understanding too as well as the courage and bravery a wolf was meant to bring. The day I met her could not come soon enough. But, of course, my mother was not going to let the day just slide by unnoticed. Oh, no! She had to have something to plan... and not a little something either... much to my dismay.I was sitting in the large lounge of the packhouse, along with my Mum, my Aunts, my friends Ayla and Thea, and a couple of omegas. All sitting with large mugs of coffee, plans laid out on the coffee table as my Mum and my Aunts took the lead on trying t

Having recovered from the many drinks I had somehow indulged in during my celebrations of becoming Beta, I was now in the full swing of being pack Beta, and loving it. Not that it felt too difficult right now. But, in truth, this was something I had trained for, for a long time. And, I was working alongside my two closest friends and they too were trained well for their roles. We worked well together.And, we were able to sneak out for the odd game of basketball here or there when work became a little boring, or even went out for a drink or two. Life was good… well, as good as it was likely to get for me. Marcus was settled at home with his fated mate, and Cole, while looking for his fated, was enjoing the bachelor life. I, however was stuck. I had the life of a bachelor, but a wolf that did not allow me to enjoy it anymore... not to mention I knew just who my fated mate was, and knew there was no future there to look forward to.Tyr was still

I had barely slept, but I think that had been more excitement than anything. Today was my birthday. I knew that my wolf could make her appearance at any time. And I wanted to be ready…I had heard many tales of friends being woken in the early hours with their wolves desperate to be allowed out to shift. And, a small part of me had hoped that may be the case for me too, but frustratingly, there had been nothing. I tossed and I turned, hoping and waiting, but there was simply radio silence… so, I lay there until sleep had found me, until it was time to get up and enjoy the day my family had planned for me.I trudged down the stairs only for my Mum to begin singing the moment I reached the bottom. Cole sat at the breakfast bar, a big grin on his face the moment he had seen me walk into the kitchen, listening to Mum singing happy birthday to me so out of tune it hurt, the way she did every single birthday.“Happy Birthday sis!” He stood to

I had decided the best way to avoid anything to do with Seren and her god damn birthday that my Mum had not shut up about for the last goddess knows how many days, was to be out of the house. I had tried my office, but it seemed that when I was there, simply in the vicinity of where my Aunts or my Mum were, they felt it was appropriate to keep updating me on what was being done, or roping me into helping.I think I had done enough in the sitting for hours cutting little pieces of fabric for my Mum to fit to something she called bunting. Basically ribbon with flags on. Sure she could have bought some if she looked. Why it needed to be homemade I did not know. But apparently homemade is best... food, yes, I wholeheartedly agree, but would anyone even be able to tell the difference with the damn flags hanging around the field when celebrating? I sure would in the future, I knew that!So, my plan was running. Training. All day, and night if necessary. Pushing myself to the

Seren’s big brown eyes looked up at me through her long lashes, her black hair hung down over my arm as she laid in my arms. Her heart pounding heavily while her face pulled into another grimace of pain. “How is that going to work?” she questioned through tight lips. I sighed. I didn’t honestly know. It seemed right now that her wolf was stuck between forms. I did not know how. And I did not know how to alter that. But, I hoped that perhaps me talking her through the shift could help. Or her seeing me shift could help. Anything to get her through this situation she is stuck in so I could get away. I had not wanted to see her today. I did not want to see her again. But, living in the same pack made that kind of hard. So avoidance was the next best tactic. Or, in my case, may be the only available tactic seeing as running away was not an option... “Maybe seeing me shift could help?” I offered. “I know how to shift.” she snapped, yet there was pain rather than a

There she was. Fiery, annoying Seren. And now she was growling at me. But, for her to growl at me meant her wolf had to be closer to the surface. It was working! I was able to help her, I hoped. And then leave her to enjoy the rest of her day. Before she was able to realize the situation between us…“What would you know about ladies? Not like you go near them. Hook up with anything with a pulse, don’t you? Wouldn’t class many of them as ladies if they are offering themselves to you.” she jeered, and I faltered for a moment. Shocked at her bluntness. Was that a sign of jealousy? I could not help but ponder, but the tightness of her grip squeezed harder once more, feeling, like all circulation to my hand was currently being cut off.“What I do in my spare time is fuck all to do with you. Cant say you are much better strutting around pack in next to no clothes just to catch the attention of the men. Or is it just the warrior you want?&

Lachlan’s words meant a lot, and I could see the genuineness of them as he spoke. That meant as much to me as his previous apologies. I should have taken that opportunity to talk to him. Especially now that my mind was beginnig to feel like my own again, but my brother was sweeping me out of the cabin and toward the car before I could respond. Cole wanted me away from Lachlan, or away from the conversation that was developing. So, I was marched to the car. I had expected Lachlan to follow. Assuming he too would be ready for a break from the cabin. But, once again Lachlan did what Lachlan did best, he stayed away. Or, more specifically, he watched me walk away...I would not lie, there was an unexpected ache in my chest as I was ushered away the short distance to the car by Cole. Maia whimpered as she quickly realized the footsteps behind us belonged to Marcus and not to Lachlan. A brief glance back told me he had not stepped foot from the cabin. He was

I had walked away from their argument unable to listen any further. Anger bubbling beneath my skin. I wanted to say so much but knew it was not my place. Marcus and Cole already appeared to think so little of me, I did not need to make things any worse. So walking away seemed the better option. But I sat upon the chair on the decking looking out across the forsest. The front door remained opened and I could hear every word that was being said. Hearing Seren come to my defence shocked me to my core…The words of the man who was meant to be a friend invariably hurt, but, this was his sister he was trying to protect; and in his mind this was no more than I deserved. He believed I had treated her badly, and he wished to see me suffer. Yet Seren came to my defence time and again. Giving her brother the reasons why the things I had done were not as bad as they may seem.In truth, as I sat there and listened as our past was discussed everything hit home. Hard. It truly was as bad as it seeme

Lachlan opened the door to the cabin, by brother and Marcus strode inside. Neither one looked happy to see him, nor did they acknowledge him as they passed him by to stand inside the living area. I had not wanted them here, but Lachlan had taken it upon himself to assume that I did. He had not answered my question, instead choosing to tidy up and avoid me at every opportunity. Which considering the size of the small cabin was quite a task…His eyes had expressed a thousand words the moment they met mine, which I think is why he had quickly averted his gaze, and moved away from me. He knew that I would be able to read his thoughts from his eyes. I knew Lachlan too well. In choosing to rush around the cabin occupying himself he was only silently allowing more secrets to be revealed. More things had been said between him and my family, I was sure of it, and one way or another, I would get to the bottom of it.“Aww, Ren, you look better.” Marcus offered

Seren was acting oddly. No. Not oddly, sultry. Needy. Not that she hadn’t been acting like she wanted me the past few days, because she had. She had been in heat. Wanting me was all she had had on her damn mind, but this seemed different. The alteration in her tone told me her wolf was pushing forward too. My own wolf had done that enough in the early days, I knew what it meant...Tyr may have been lingering here and there while Seren was here, but he was not back. Not fully. So he was not able to communicate with Maia I didn’t think, so maybe Maia was hoping to connect with me? Either way she appeared to want her mate.But her wanting to encourage the two of us told me something was off. She had always been quite supportive of Seren’s choices, but it seemed right now she was defending me. She was pushing for things to work for us. And while I would understand a wolf wanting it's mate, she knew how bad I wad for Seren. She knew the things I had done.

I woke with a start, shocked to find Lachlan looking down at me, an unreadable expression upon his face. He was leaning against the wall of the cabin, his arms crossed, and those big, beautiful dark eyes of his were watching me intently. Should I be freaked out he was watching me sleep? Maybe... yet oddly, I found it almost reassuring... I rolled over on the bed to face him, stretching slightly as I did, and his eyes observed every slight movement of my body“What is wrong?” I questioned, noticing for the first time since my arrival here that the rush of heat upon waking had lessened. I had to hope that could only be a good sign...Lachlan offered me a questionable smile, before shrugging slightly. “Nothing, Ren. Why would something be wrong? I just came to check you were okay. You have been asleep a while.”I nodded. That seemed plausible. I had no clue how long I had been asleep. It felt like sometime since I had come

I walked back through the now familar trees surrounding the cabin,my phone to my ear. "So you don't think it was as strong?" I questioned.The supply drop had been completed a short while earlier by Colton, but I had waited until Seren was resting until Ileft the cabin to go and collect, as I had done each time previously. I did not want to leave her when she needed me, nor did I want any other wolf in close proximity to my mate whilst she was in heat. But, from what my friend was telling me, that may not be too much of an issue now."The scent has certain dissipated. I think another day and it will have gone. Is she feeling any better?" He asked.I chuckled. "I don't think she would tell me either way, Col, she is making me guess at best. Anything but admit she is struggling. Shows weakness, right? Seren will not let me think she is weak." I told my friend, who in turn began to chuckle too."Damn, that sounds like somebody I know. Hmmm,

Pain. Heat. Tenderness radiated through my body. As did warmth. No, not warmth, boiling, temperatures. Hours? Days? I did not know now. I was in a state of confusion. Agony. Discomfort. Sobbing. Screaming. Crying one moment, yelling the next… I did not like this. How was this a normal state for anyone or anything to be in?!‘Why won’t he help us?’ I wailed to Maia. She was our wolf, why could she not talk to his wolf? Surely he could convince Lachlan to surrender to the matebond again. He had done it before. This good-boy image did not suit him. If he would surrender to the matebond we could ease this pain. Put an end to this suffering. It may even bring us closer...‘We have gone over this. So many times.’ She snapped, and she was right. I had begged her so many times, and I had argued this point with Lachlan too. He was not about to give in to me. He was determined to do the right thing. Why he deemed this the ri

I saw pain and anger flicker across Seren’s face at my words. I had expected nothing more. I had known the moment I had chosen to say those things that it would be the last thing she would be wanting to hear. She had sought me out for a reason. I was her mate. She knew the relief her mate could bring when in heat. Angry with me or not, she was willing to bypass that to gain the relief she needed. But, I was not willing to sink to that. And, no matter the pain nor anger I was causing her, and hating that fact, I knew I had to do this. It would be too easy to give her what she craved. But it would be wrong. We were not together. Yes, we may be fated mates, but we had agreed not to be together. I had surrendered to the matebond before, and in doing so I had hurt Seren and regretted that massively.I knew she saw this as me trying to hurt her, but it was me trying to do the right thing. Thankfully, with Tyr being absent resisting her was somewhat easier as

My whole body burned. It ached like never before. And now added to that was the delectable scent of my mate. I am sure it smelled stronger than it had previously, or was that what happened when a she-wolf went into heat? He smelled divine, I knew that much. I was desperate to be close to him. Rip those close right off his body…But Lachlan had stepped away from me. And now his eyes were dark, with a frown etching his face as he avoided my gaze. What was wrong with him? This was not how I had imagined this woud go. The last time we had seen each other he had wanted to talk. And all the times he and I had been intimate Lachlan had been unable to resist. He was insatiable. My scent should trigger that, I was sure of it. I had imagined the moment he caught a note of my scent and realized I was in heat he would pull me to the cabin and rip my clothes off. Make up for the time we had lost. Ease the pain I was feeling...But, just now he had stepped away from me. That
