บททั้งหมดของ A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? : บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

I sit in Knox and Lilah’s house, everything such a blur. I am so confused. In such a daze. I vaguely remember walking here with Jake. I can’t believe Jaxx killed Rose, or her wolf form. For me. That is so wrong. He should never have had to do that. I should never have argued with her. She may not have got angry then. She may not have come for me then. I assume Jake had told her what had happened between us. He said he wanted to. He said he wanted to be honest with her. I understand that, but maybe that hadn't been the right thing to do in the end. He was talking about rejecting her. Why would he do that for me? I am not worth that. Though this is not about me, this is about her. Rose. And the fact she is dead. Because Jake, or Jaxx killed her. Just thinking about it makes me feel nauseous all over again. Makes me think of her wolf's body lying there, her neck snapped... What was Jake thinking? Surely he should have known better. And now we find ourselves in this mess. I feel sick

I hated seeing Jake like this. This was not the Jake we know and love. He had withdrawn into himself and it was horrible. The fact he said Jaxx had gone silent on him again concerned me too. Jaxx surprised me attacking to the point of death with Rose. I thought he may attack to injure, to bring her down, never to maim or kill. Not to his mate. Though part of me is wondering if the Beta wolf in him shone through and he was protecting his pack members. That is what I would do as Alpha. That is what you have to do. Protect your pack members. And that is what he did, he was protecting Ruby. Though I know with Ruby there are feelings there. Maybe even love if he looked deeper. They had been getting closer, I had noticed it, and so had Lilah. We were forever trying to push them together, knowing they would make a perfect couple. And with them being the only single ones in the group, they ended up together when we were hanging out. Not that they complained, they seemed to enjoy one another

I can see the pain in Jake’s eyes the moment he opened the door. Well, I say open the door, he near flings it off it’s hinges. I don’t think he is wanting the company. Ah well, unlucky he has got it. I am not going anywhere. Whether he wants to be alone or not. Knox said he had told him he didn’t want his parents aware of the situation, so he called me instead. I am more than happy to be here for him. The boy was like a son of my own. They are all like kids of mine, they were all that close to one another, their Dad’s like my brothers. So they truly are like family. I need to make sure he is ok. The situation as Knox explained it to me sounded like Jake had done the right thing. He had protected a defenceless she-wolf, who was attacked unprovoked. He was protecting a pack member, admittedly from his own mate, which had to hurt, especially since they had yet to decide if they were going to be mates yet. But he had done the decent thing, he had stepped up to defend and protect a pac

I had escaped to my house, needing the space, having told Lilah everything I could remember for her to pass on to Knox, but I just needed to be on my own. I needed to be away from everyone. But I guess Lilah decided otherwise because no sooner was I home than my sister and my cousin arrived, declaring they were here for me, and that they would not be leaving me. Evidently, I needed looking after in their minds. In my own mind, I needed to be on my own. Why did they not see it the same way? I am not a fucking child. And I truly do not appreciate being treated like one! Esme is following me around like she is scared she is going to lose me. Where she thinks I will vanish to in my own home I have no clue. It is not like I have been training in magic tricks in my spare time. I realise it may have scared them to know that Rose had planned to take my life, but I do not think I can cope with having my sister clinging onto me like a leech! I like my personal space, and right about now Es

The flight was straight forward. Long and boring, as many long-haul flights generally are. We did our best to try to sleep, but it was not for finding me. My mind was too focused on what awaited us. Unsuprisingly really, when we would be going to break the news to a family that their daughter had gone. When they were completely unaware too. Unaware that she had even travelled over to us.Thankfully, the Alpha of the pack had been very understanding when I had spoken to him. He had said Rose was known for being very argumentative, and that he couldn’t even say he was shocked she had gone to attack another she-wolf, but he fully understands why she was attacked in defense. Any pack member would do that to defend another member of the pack being attacked unawares. He was not holding our pack accountable for it. He saw it as being in defense,and as an unprovoked attack, which is what we said it was. Rose should never have gone to attack Ruby.We just need her family to see the situation t
