บททั้งหมดของ A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? : บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

My brain replays what he has just said. Yes, I want to get this over with. He isn’t wrong. Why the hell else does he think I am even here? I am here to do the right thing and get this done. So I can then find a way to work on the gut wrenching, soul-destroying shit going on within my mind, in my shattered remnants of my heart, and find a way to cope with it so I can then somehow find a way to continue living my life. Albeit alone now. And hopefully, find some semblance of happiness if possible.So yes, I am here to get this over and done with. He is most definitely not wrong. But what the hell does having a proper chat mean? That seems to imply to me that he hasn’t got us here to talk about Rose dying? That he potentially isn’t bothered by Rose dying? This seems so wrong. A pack member has died, he has been called to be notified of that. Told that an Alpha of the pack in which she died will be travelling over to notify her family formally, and he is fine wit

I am stood in the meeting doing my best to follow what is being said, though I am having very little to do with it. I am here for back up is all. But I will not complain with being able to travel to a foreign country as a warrior. It was a privilege and I should be honoured for that. It is more than I had ever done in my old pack. And having gone over the plans and information, I doubt there would be trouble. I doubted that having heard the assignment brief, and having got here and spoken to the Alpha, I doubted it even less. He seems likes a sound guy. So friendly and kind. Getting on well with Knox too, and that had to be a good sign, and importantly he is saying he would have done the same as Jake did. So if he agrees with what Jake did, then we have got to be good, right?His accent is funny as hell. But other than that, he is a decent guy. Friendly and seems to have accepted the reasons behind what happened to this psycho of a mate that Beta Jake had been fated. Fuck kno

I can see Jake watching Luis and Alicia. He had a frown initially. I imagine this has to be hard to see. There was clearly an instant pull between the two of them. The matebond was evident instantly. That had to hurt Jake, it can only remind him that he had never been there with Rose. Having heard from Lilah how truly disastrous their first meeting had been, it was far from what everybody dreamed meeting their fated mate would be like. But as I stood and watched him I see a small smile appearing on his face.I lift his coffee from the tray on the table and walked over to him. “You ok J?” I ask.“Yeah, strangely” he says.I pass him his coffee. A little surprised at his answer, but at the same time glad he seemed a little more upbeat. Before going to pick up my own coffee. Alpha John and Beta Paul walked over to us.“Well, we may be losing a pack member to your pack Alpha.” Beta Paul grins. “Take her quick, she&rsq

“He is my Beta, but I think it is likely because he does a lot of work for the business. So there is a strong possibility it is from there” I told him.I cannot believe for one second Rose has mentioned Jake to her family, from everything she had said to Jake and the way she had acted when she moved across. The report also implied it was not known about that he was her mate. So I truly do not think that her father knows of Jake for any reason other than the connections to our business. He has represented me many times, so it is likely that.“Please take a seat” Mrs Cartwright says to us, motioning to the sofa opposite them. It looks so uncomfortable, but we do as we are asked. “I shall arrange some drinks and cakes”I watch as she stands and talks to the man who had walked us in here, so what she actually means is, she will get the hired help to go and sort some drinks and cakes for us. Oh how the other half live! Highly amusi

I see Jake’s face drop at his words. And a sudden hatred for the man runs through me. He is not going to make him feel bad for this. Not any worse than he already does anyway.“Right if you cannot be civil when we chose to arrange the cremation of your daughter's body, and bring the ashes here for you. And then to travel over here ourselves to notify you of her death rather than to notify you by phone, then we will simply leave. And you know what, I am not interested in your business information now. It is evident to me that Rose inherited her attitude and her rudeness from both her parents from what I have seen in the short time I have been here and that makes it clear to me that no second chances are deserved. You are all as dishonest and foul as one another and I would not want to be working with you or any one of your family members. So good luck in trying to get that business back up and running because I will be warning my associates. Goodbye.” I say s
