Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Final Twist of Fate...: Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

The mere mention of Landon set my heart into a panic. Why was Kai bringing him up? And what had given him the idea that I had a thing for him? That seemed so out of left-field. Never had anything like that been mentioned before…And just looking at the expression upon his face told me that my delightful big brother did not like that idea, so I could only imagine the reaction he would have if he was to discover that he was my fated mate.‘Fuck off Kai.’ I said, before moving out of the room where our family were sitting, albeit awkwardly. We had been sitting there having polite and dispersed conversation since we all arrived home and had dinner together. This was not the family I was used to. This was an uneasy and uncomfortable one. I did not like it. I tried my hardest to hold back the tears that were threatening. I did not want to think of Landon.I had avoided thinking of him as much as I possibly could. Thinking of him hurt. I hated the thought of my fated mate rejecting me. I h

I had made a mistake. A huge fucking mistake. I could only assume that the reason he wanted to see me was because Cleo had told him. Was that not an easy assumption to make? Especially considering the way he sounded on the phone? He had sounded angry, though in all fairness, I think Kai always sounds angry… but looking at the anger upon his face now, I can see that I made a huge fucking mistake. It would appear he didn’t actually know anything. Or, to put it correctly, he hadn't known anything until I had opened my big fucking mouth; and now he knew it all. And Cleo was going to be broken by this…“Yes. She is my fated mate. But I am trying to do the decent thing by her, Kai.” I urged him to see the good in my actions. I know how he sees me. He has not thought particularly highly of me for a long time. I don’t think anyone has in my reluctance to take my place as Alpha. So surely Kai would want better for his sister than me? Anybody would want better than me, right? Cleo should want

I stood in the kitchen for a moment after my sister had left the room, giving me a sad glance as she did, filling my body with guilt. I was still in shock at how my brother had acted, and now my sister was making me feel guilty too? I needed to compose myself. That was not how I had wanted things to go. I wanted them to be happy for me. Was that too much to ask? This was one of the biggest moments of my life. It hurt they were not sharing my excitement. Yes, I saw Ana was trying to be happy for me, and to some degree she had attempted to defend me, but I could also feel her pain, not to mention see the pained expression upon her face.And then there was my brother. One of my closest friends. I had dreaded telling him. And I think this had been the reason why. He and I had trained alongside one another as warriors. Brothers in arms as well as in blood. He saw this as a betrayal to that bond. But it wasn't that, or I did not view it that way. We would always have that connection. I had

The drive to Lunar River Pack was far from ideal. Sitting with Landon was not usually a way I would choose to spend my free time, I had to admit, but it was what I had decided to do, in order to find out what secrets he had been hiding. Not that I had ever expected to discover he was fated to my sister. I still did not know what to think… the fact he was planning to reject her infuriated me. No man should be willing to reject their mate. Especially not my sister, she was a good woman. From a good family. There seemed no logical reason in my mind why Landon would not want her nor turn her away.But he had withdrawn himself the way he so often did, and I could get nothing else from him now. He was reluctant to talk, and even less willing to listen to me. It evidently was not my place to dictate to him what he should and should not do. But this was something that needed discussing with the senior positions within the two packs. And those would be my father and Landon’s grandfather. They

Hearing Kai tell me his mate was here at Lunar River had been shocking enough, but the look upon his face when he saw the soon-to-be pack Luna walk from the doors with her hand firmly being held by the pack Alpha spoke a thousand words. This was the worst possible outcome for him, and no doubt her, and the pack.I could instantly sense the tension between the two, and Bella could barely tear her eyes away from Kai, no doubt drawn to him by the undeniable pull of the matebond. But she was to marry the pack Alpha. She had all but been sold to him from what I understood. I don’t think there was a way out for her. And, no matter how much I may dislike Kai, I felt bad for him, for there was no hope of him having his fated mate.Alpha was oblivious to the connection between the two, just as he was oblivious to so many other things going on around him, his wolf was definitely lacking… and the leering look upon his face as he suggested Bella go and make dinner for him turned my stomach, as I
