Chapter 63 - Seren
Last Updated:
2025-03-02 16:56:45Rippling with a new surge of confidence, I wandered from the bed to the bathroom where Lachlan had headed to clean up. Everything we had shared had been so much more than I had expected. Lachlan had been so much more. He had been different. He made me feel wanted. Needed. I liked it. I wanted more.
‘That is what a mate does.’ Maia urged me. I was unsure the confidence I felt as I walked across the room, still naked was from the way Lachlan had made me feel, or the boost of confidence provided by my wolf. Either way, I liked feeling this way. If this was what being with Lachlan was like, then I wanted it more often. It was good for me. He had to see that, right?
I could hear the water running, and the door was slightly ajar, so I snuck into the bathroom, Lachlan, was standing in front of the mirror, his once naked body now half wrapped in a towel slung heavy on his hips. He looked good, though I think, having seen him naked, I preferred him

I laid there trying so desperately to allow sleep to find me, but it would not. My mind was playing games with me, and simply would not allow me to rest. There had been too many things happen today that I was thinking over. Analyzing. Mmy head was beginning to hurt, and I felt like my mind wanted to self-implode. Instead, I tossed and I turned, hoping that repositioning myself would help. But there was nothing. With every movement I was fully aware of the heat from Lachlan that radiated from beside me, as his breathing had slowed and sleep passed over him.I desperately wanted to wake him. Talk to him. Kiss him once again. Know that all we had done was nothing more than my imagination. Because, as crazy as it seemed, it still felt surreal to me. It did not feel real. It did not feel like Lachlan would want me in that way. But that look within his eyes was forever burned within my soul. I wanted him to look at me that way forever. That was the way a mate should look to their one. The o

I woke with a start, reaching over for Lachlan, hoping to find the warmth of his body next to mine, having thoughts of him flood my sleep. But, as I reached out, my hand was met with emptiness. Coldness. I forced my sleepy eyes open, and was met with an empty bed. I listened carefully, wondering if he was in the bathroom, but there was nothing but silence. My heart fell. He had left me.‘Lachlan?’ I mindlinked.‘What?’ was the short and sharp response I received, making any warmth I had lingerig within me sliver right away.‘I was just wondering where you had gone. I had hoped to wake up with y…’ I began.‘Yeah, well you shouldn’t be hoping anything. You knew we had to be up to see Marcus. Get yourself ready he is already here.’ Lachlan interrupted, and again I was chilled by his coldness.The warm and fun Lachlan of the night before had seemingly gone, and that left a hollowness in my chest. A heaviness in my gut. Something did not sit right with me. But, I knew I did not have long t

I saw Seren frowning at me. Confusion written all over her delicate features. I mean the fact she was saying there was nothing else to stay for instead of offering herself to me like she had been doing previously implied she had figured out last night was better as a one off, right? We had both allowed ourselves to experience the matebond. The connection it brought us. Yes, that had been fucking mindblowing, of that I can't even lie. I had experienced nothing like that before. And I had a feeling I likely never would again. But, I know the feelings I held toward Seren, the resentment, the hatred, would mean a relationship would simply not work. Not in the real world. Matebond or not. She may be young, but she had to know that right? She hated me too, I was sure of that.“You decided we made a mistake?” I said calmly, hoping she would take this okay. I mean she had been relatively calm so far. She had been amazing last night, and I did not want to spoil that. I wan

The pain in my chest was unreal, but I needed to hear no more, and I had no need to say any further words. I walked away without looking back. Lachlan had seen me as a mistake. Fulfilling the destiny of our matebond was little but an error within his mind. No matter how he appeared to enjoy it, he saw it all as a blunder. A fuck up. He had surrendered to the desires he was feeling, and now he regretted it. I had been used. I should have known better. He had already made it clear that he saw our matebond as nothing but an error from the moon goddess herself, and that we would not work. I had been naïve to cling to any hope of anything else. Well, not any more. Now was time for change.I strode away from Lachlan's family home with irritation pulsing through my body, and tears stinging at the back of my eyes. I had truly believed he had changed. How rediculously foolish of me. That ass was not capable of change. But I was. I could change. And I was going to. I was not about

I had been given no chance to rest, nor to allow my mind chance to proccess everything properly. I had been called into the office to help deal with the situation with the warrior. Seeing him punished would be good for me. I needed to see him get the harsh reality he deserved. The sick scenes I had walked up to last night still replayed within my mind and they enraged me. He was lucky he still breathed. But, I had done the responsible thing. The thing expected of me as Beta.I glanced down at the notes given to me, taking another sip of my hot coffee as I did. I was tired. My brain was a befuddled mess. This was not good. And now, I had Marcus talking at me once more, while I was struggling to focus. I had no clue, yet again what my friend had said to me, and I think it may be beginning to irritate him. We were meant to be working on this side by side. As Alpha and Beta of our pack, and one of his major bug bears was people not listening to him, but today I

I turned to look at my friend with a roll of my eyes. I swear since he had settled down with his mate he had grown soft. If he thought for even a moment I was about to go into details about how I was feeling he was wrong. We had never sat around and discussed feelings, and I was not about to start now.“No.” I said emphatically.Marcus shrugged slightly. “I know you are like me bro, we look out for her like family. It had to have been hard on you walking into that last night. I would have wanted to kill him.”Hearing Marcus say that, at least I could say I was not the only one. Maybe it had not simply been the matebond that had caused that response as I had initially assumed it was. It could be the connection we all shared from growing up alongside one another. From being as close as family. Marcus was right. We did all look out for one another. For one another’s families. That was just the way we were. The way we were brought up. But still, I

The moment I had focused my mind, and wiped my eyes, I took a deep breath, standing from my space upon the floor. This had to be a chance to move forward. I now knew what it was that I wanted. The hopes I had clung to were discarded as they should have been in the beginning. There were no hopes when it came to Lachlan Lamont.I made my way to my bed, kneeling down upon the floor there, sliding out the storage boxes that sat underneath it, so they were now in front of me. I found myself yawning, as I stretched. I was beyond tired, unsurprisingly so considering the very little sleep I had received last night, but in this moment I was on a mission. Sleep could wait a moment longer. There were things that I needed to do, and I was going to do them.I lifted the lid from the first box, rummaging for the memory box that I sought. Realising it was not in this box, I pushed the box to the side, and reached for another. Quickly finding the pale blue gift box q

I sat looking across at Marcus as he told me that he had, in fact, agreed to Seren, my fated, going travelling. It felt like my blood was boiling. I took a deep breath, trying hard to control myself because under no circumstance did I need to bring any suspicion to the man in front of me. He was the Alpha of our pack, and had every right to raise questions. Questions I did not want to answer. It was better things were left unsaid.But, as friends of her brother, and having been like family since growing up, it was not like unlike either of us, Marcus included, to act like her protector. That was what was expected of us. All our father's had said so, and that was what we had done. Less so me, as the years had developed, and my resentment for Seren had grown. The less time I spent around her the better, in my eyes, but I could still use this to my advantage right now... “You think she is ready for that responsibility?&rdq

Corey was oblivious to it all. He comfortably had his arm around me protecting me from the chaos of the bar, smiling at me at every given opportunity, but I had all but frozen at the sight of Marcus and Lachlan. Why were they here? They had never said they were coming... And then suddenly, Lachlan moved toward us, and my heart raced within my chest. This was not going to end well.“What can I get you to drink sweetcheeks?” Corey winked at me. He was being charming again, but it had none of the affect it had had earlier. I felt nauseous, and my eyes were upon Lachlan. Nerves flooded my body knowing that when he got angry he was terrifying. He could cause chaos here... he could have me kicked out of college if people knew he was with me. From the way his jaw jutted out, and the determination within his step I knew he was on a mission. But what worried me most was I did not know what he planned to do. I could see anger in those beautiful dark eyes o

I had wasted no time in leaving the cabin after I had spoken with Marcus and he had chosen to follow. Hearing everything he had to say had given me clarity. The smile upon his face when I had told him I was to go to Seren and try to fix the mess created by myself had been proof he was behind my decision. This was the right thing to do. I just had to hope that Seren thought so too.“You know it is the right thing to do, Lach. Fight for your mate.” He urged, and hearing that I knew that I should. I knew that I was willing to fight for her. I had been so close to losing her, and that pain was crushing. I needed her back...We had driven out of pack soon after, not wanting to waste another moment. This had been waiting long enough. Heading toward her campus nerves took over my body. What if she turned me away? What if this time it was her that rejected me?"It will be fine, bro. I can sense your nerves from here." Marcus reassured me. "She came to you, remember. She wants her mate, deep d

I had shocked myself just how much I had enjoyed the football game. Beforehand I had spent a little time finding the tutors I needed to speak to, apologising for my unexpected absence, and thankfully they had been very understanding when I simply mentioned it was due to illness. I should easily be able to catch up with the work I had missed with a little determination, and I was without a doubt determined. I had rushed home then to hurry myself to get ready for the night ahead... a date? I was unsure, but oddly I had been looking forward to it. Settling back in to my home was going to wait...I did not have much freedom within pack. Having a very protective Father as I grew up. And then once Cole got older, a far too protective older brother too who stepped into the lead protector once my father had passed away. Add into the equation Marcus and Lachlan who had been like two additional protectors, it was like I had been guarded. Anything I wanted to do was al

I sat upon the decking staring out to the forest ahead, music playing on the speakers inside of the cabin. It was peaceful today. The sun shining, and cloud low within the sky. The only sounds other than the music was the birds singing and my breathing. I was growing used to my peaceful little haven…I had cleaned the cabin. I had done my work out and my run. That was my daily routine all but complete. I knew that this could not continue. I had duties I had to attend to. I was a Beta. And a Beta could not live this life. But, at the same time, I did not know the sort of Beta I could be. I had no motivation. No determination. No fight. And, as things stood, I was certain I may well be on the way to having no wolf too…In the time since Seren had left, the lingering presence of my wolf that I had begun to sense again had slowly begun to fade. It was as if without her here he could not continue. He needed her energy to survive. Seren was no

Seren had returned to her home on campus, I was aware of that, and as Cole and I worked out alongside one another in the gym, he told me she had taken her own car this time with her feeling better. Last time we had chosen for us to take her, with her having just come out of the hospital, so we didn’t think driving herself would be the best. Not to mention we wanted to check out the security of her home and the area around it. From the things Cole had said Seren seemed glad to be back.I knew that with the current situation as it was with Lachlan she found it easier to be away from pack. I don't think I could blame her, and I think, even if he would not admit it, that was why he stayed out at the cabin the way that he did. Refusing at every turn to come back home... But, for the whole, I knew that campus life was good for Seren. A little change would do her good. Learning... gaining the qualifications she wanted... all while having fun and making new friends. I was just glad she was ab

I drove away from pack, tears within my eyes. The mindlink to Lachlan remained unanswered. He had done it once again, and I was not willing to allow him to get under my skin any more.‘You know where he is, go and visit.’ Maia urged. And, she was not wrong, I did know where he now hid out. Dodging his pack duties as Beta. But I had no intention of going to visit him. My day of staying in pack as requested to ensure my heat was in fact over had been filled with my mother making far too much fuss of me, and my brother being on my case demanding details of how Lachlan had treated me.Having to go over those details had made me think of Lachlan, in turn resulting in me mindlinking him a number of times, all of which were met with silence. As were my text messages. I don't know what I wanted to gain from contacting him, but had hoped perhaps if I did he may try to reach out. Speak to me more. Explain his feelings again. But there had been nothi

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
