Chapter 48 - Lachlan
Last Updated:
2025-02-18 18:35:12Well that had been harder work than I had anticipated. But, I guess I should not be surprised. It was Seren after all. However, thankfully, she had agreed to what I needed her to. Even if it had taken a little coaxing. It near broke me seeing her cry. But I could never allow her to know that. She would not know that the matebond had any affect upon me or she would manipulate it any which way she could.
‘You are a fucking fool.’ My wolf snarled angrily. ‘That is there all the time, matebond or not. You care for her.’
I rolled my eyes. He was more stupid than I thought. I was a Beta, yet I had been given a defective wolf. And a fucked up matebond. What had I done to piss off the Moon Goddess? Because she sure as hell was screwing me over!
‘You will realize one day how blessed you have been. You should just hope it is not too late.’ Tyr all but hissed at me.
I tried not to laugh at his words. Of course I would. I wandered

The party was so beautifully decorated, and the second I arrived I was swamped with the many guests who wanted to come and wish me a happy birthday. I had decided I was going to enjoy myself, and put Lachlan to the back of my mind. Today was my day. A day I had been waiting for, he had already spoiled a big part of it, I was not going to allow him to destroy anymore. But as my eyes grazed the large training field in a bid to find Alejandro, instantly they fell to the dark, intense stare of the one man I did not want to see…Lachlan’s gaze was almost burning through me. I don’t think I had seen him look at me like that before. I swallowed heavily, before closing my eyes, and re-diverting my gaze, to my friend by my side. “I think we need a drink, don’t you?” I suggested, unsure if my friends wanted a drink, but knowing I sure did.Ayla grinned. “That is my girl.” She giggled. "Birthday drinks!" She added, before taking my

I had lost count of the amount of drinks me and the girls had drunk, and we were now on the dance floor, along with my Mum and my brother, all laughing and joking. I had been loving my night so far, despite the awkward encounter with Lachlan at the beginning. So many people had come to wish me a happy birthday, and there were so many gift bags building by the DJ decks it was unreal!Sadly, there had been no sight of Alejandro so I had admitted defeat and resigned myself to the fact that he had chosen not to come. Maybe he was choosing to avoid me. And could I truly blame him? After the shit show of last time he had let himself get close to me, I don't think so. So, instead, I had decided fun with my friends and family was what was needed. There was plenty of laughter happening as my Mum was drinking too, and she, despite her werewolf genes did not handle her drink well. I loved watching her dancing after a few drinks, and it seemed so did my friends.

Cole and I were enjoying a beer, as Aunt Sophia had decided she wanted to spend some time with my Mum after all. That may have had something to do with the few too many drinks it appeared she had drunk, but it meant I got a little time with my friend, so I would not complain. And, seeing my Aunt when she was tipsy, was always amusing. Being called moody while being strangled with a hug, and poked in the face as she told me she loved me, however was not…So once I had made my escape from ym Aunt, we made our excuses and fled, leaving my Mum to handle her friend. I was sure she was used to it, and Cole and I had found a quiet bench, placing our feet up on the small stools that were set nearby. Likely for others to sit on, but they were making good foot rests right now.Cole sighed heavily. “Thank the goddess for that. I needed to get away!”I chuckled. “From your Mum, or your sister?”“All of them.” He said with an

Alejandro wasted no time in taking me to the dance floor, just as he had asked of me when he came to meet me, and from that moment, he had been as charming as I think it is possible for a guy to be. His hands soon slipped to my hips, and I was a ball of nerves; but he was making jokes to make me giggle. With every fancy dance move he attempted, I felt myself begin to relax in his arms.He complimented me, he stroked my hair back, as his deep dark gaze locked upon mine, filling my belly with butterflies. With a gentle stroke of my cheek, he hooked his hand behind my head and pulled me slowly closer to him. Suddenly his lips found mine, and my body felt like it was melting. His kisses were intense. Full of intensity and need, and as his tongue parted my lips, I didn't think I wanted him to stop. His hand slipped into my hair, as he pulled me a little closer, allowing his tongue to kiss me a little deeper, goosebumps spreading over my body as he did. Maia snarled angrily in resp

Alejandro led me from the training field, my hand held firmly in his. I found myself smiling as I looked across to his handsome face. He had turned my birthday around for me in the end. It had sure not gone the way that I had hoped earlier in the day, that was for certain, but being treated so sweetly all evening has been quite unusual, I have to admit, and I think I might have enjoyed it.Alejandro caught me looking at him, and he winked, bringing a hint of colour rushing to my cheeks. “You liking what you see there, angel?” He teased, and I rolled my eyes.“Whatever.” I stuck my tongue out at him, and he chuckled, using my hand to pull me a little closer.“Aww, you wound me.”I smiled. The playful back and forth had gone on for a lot of the evening, and again, I think I have enjoyed it. It has become quite easy between us. “Is that your way of trying to get me to kiss it better?” I joked,

The party had been just as I had expected. Shit. Exactly why I had never wanted to attend. Watching Seren enjoy herself had been uncomfortable to say the least. And that had been before the fuckwit of a warrior had arrived. Once he was there groping her at every given opportunity it only became worse. But, for some inexplicable reason, I found myself staying. To begin with, it had been because I had been worried I had drawn suspicion to myself from my friend, and did not want questions being asked. Then, as time went on, the drinks were flowing freely, and I guess I stayed because it became easier, and a part of me stayed to keep an eye on things...Even when the majority of the other guests had left, I stayed. Lingering near the drinks table, finishing most of the bottled beer that sat upon the table. I mean, it was there to be drunk, right? My Mum had long gone, having taken home my very drunk, and very sleepy Aunt Sophia. Now both crashed out at Aunt Soph

My whole body shook. Total shock had taken over me at what had just happened. That was not the guy I had been enjoying spending time with. Alejandro had always been so charming. He had spent quite some time trying to convince me to even spend time with him... never for a moment had he come across in a negative way. Surely tonight had to be the affect of the drink, right?My body shuddered at the thought of what he had just done... or more accurately what he so nearly had done. Clearly, nobody is who you truly think they are. Anyone is capable of changing to gain what they want, I realized with a sinking heart. I did not want to see him again. Though, for the time being at least, that was not going to be an issue. Alejandro had wasted no time in running when Lachlan had given that opportunity. He would have been a fool not to, listening to the anger in Lachlan's voice. Warrior or not, Alejandro would be no competition for Lachlan. I just hoped when the morning came, they dealt with him

I could feel Seren all but trembling within my arms, but I knew that effect was not down to me. That warrior she had near surrendered herself to had broken her. Had I not arrived when I did he could have taken everything from her. My whole body was trembling too, and it was not in fear like Seren’s. The trembling coursing through my body was in rage. Yet as Seren’s big brown eyes looked up at me, I could feel no anger toward her.Yes, she had been foolish. But, I hated hearing her call herself stupid. This was more a man trying to take advantage of a naive she-wolf. That warrior had known exactly what he was doing, and that infuriated me.“You need to be more careful, Ren.” I mumbled, seeming unable to look away from those eyes of hers. They were looking at me with such need right now. “We don’t want you getting hurt.” I told her. Regardless of any resentment I may feel toward her, the thought of Seren getting hurt really did t

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
