All Chapters of Conflicted - Twist of Fate. : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I tried to take my time getting ready but Aiden was having none of it, "You look great, come on Armina" he pushes, basically pulling me out the door. "Two seconds" I laugh, kind of enjoying his upbeat demeanour. Knowing I can't put it off forever I take a deep breath. Time to start the day. As I walk into the school with Aiden beside me, I feel the shocked eyes following me. Aiden has never walked me into school, not right by my side, especially with his hand on my shoulder and a loving look on his face. He was serious about not hiding anymore, his pride was on show for all to see. 'About time' Aurora beams, she has never been as understanding as me about his behaviour. 'Be nice' I scold, smiling as she scoffs. "Aiden, are you sure?" I ask again, worried for him as I watch everyone stare at us. I know the trauma he has and the internal battles he faces. "Armina, stop, this is how it should have been from the start" he reassures me. I can't help but wonder what's brought all

The intellectual trial is over fast, the questions and evaluation easy. The relief of it all being done has me distracted as I walk out to find Aiden. As I look around the courtyard, I find myself blocked by an angry looking Leon. "Want to explain yourself?" he asks. His body is tense, his eyes glowing as he stares into my eyes. 'What do we do?' I beg Aurora, 'You've got this, school is over Armina, we aren't hiding anymore' I shake my head. She's right. I let her strength and confidence fill me. "I don't owe you anything" I state, attempting to walk around him. He moves quickly, blocking my way with a growl. "You spend high school hiding your abilities and yet think you owe no explanation?" he steps too close for my liking as his annoyance increases, "Aiden acts like he doesn't care about anything our entire lives and is now a beaming dad and again you think that is nothing?" his voice showing his frustration. "I've known you've been hiding something for a long time Armina" his

Elite training passes in a blur of spas, guiding others and simple exercises. We work on defensive tactics, things the warriors can share with the pack to minimise loses should we be attacked.My mind is barely in it as I easily beat each partner who wants to spa, and begin to train others.It had started rocky, my former classmates hesitant. I pushed past it, sharing the knowledge I have acquired with Aiden, things I had picked up myself over the years and what has worked for me when blocking attacks. The vibe around me changed quickly, Aurora sensing their growing respect. She was in her element, leading was always her path, it was me who never wanted the attention. I ignore Serena, letting her do her own thing. I hear her insult me to others a few times but choose to pretend I can't hear. She is her own worst enemy, several people not responding to her digs, sighing as she pretends to be better than me. Everyone watched me beat her with ease in the trials, they know who they can l

"NO" Aiden's voice yells as I look into the most amazing eyes I have ever seen. Piercing bright blue, like icicles. Aurora screams 'MATE, GO TO OUR MATE' but I freeze. I want to run into his arms, but I feel Aiden's tension. Something isn't right. Aiden would be happy for me; it is all he has ever wanted for me. I pull my eyes away from my mate, which takes all of the strength in me, to look up at Aiden. His face is contorted in rage, panic and open grief. Which snaps me out of my mate haze as I look back to the man in front of me, who is clearly becoming very agitated and impatient."Who are you?" I ask, as he walks closer to me. Trying to touch me. I stand back as Aiden growls. I see the hurt fill his beautiful eyes at my retreat. It almost breaks my resolve, but Aiden’s hand touching my arm brings me back. He has always been my rock."I am Alpha Tristan of the Eclipse pack" he says softly, "What's your name?" NO!. No, no, no. My heart as well as Aurora's break in an instant. Our ma

'His name is Cole, his wolf, his trying to connect with me' Aurora informs me, her heart filled with sadness at not reaching out to him too. 'We can't do this, think of Aiden' I remind Aurora and myself at the same time.His lips come crashing into mine and all of my will power goes out of the window. The taste of his mouth explodes within me as I groan against his lips. My body coming alive in ways I have never felt before. I can’t help but open my mouth, inviting him in which he happily accepts. His tongue moving against mine in what can only be described as pure passion. His hands continue their torture rubbing up my body, one moves to the back of me, pulling me so firmly against his body I can feel the rock hardness of his body. My hands decide of their own accord to explore, rubbing his arms and feeling his strength. All thoughts of how wrong this is gone as my mind surrenders.The door opens and another male enters the room. His scent is similar to Tristan's, with a mix of my fav
