All Chapters of Conflicted - Twist of Fate. : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I feel myself drifting.The world around me is nothing but fog. You'd think I'd be scared but I'm not. It feels peaceful here. I never want to go back, it is too hard there. Everything is so complicated.Me and Aurora are bonded as one more than ever. Our minds completely content as we float through this ether world. It feels like weeks, just being at peace, floating. The fog starts to lift and suddenly I'm looking at the most beautiful face I've ever seen. Long white hair, big white eyes. Her face nothing but kindness. "Hello my child" her voice rings. I've never been in the presence of someone so majestic that I suddenly know who she is. "Moon goddess?" My voice comes out croaky. She smiles as she nods. "My special child, I've wanted to speak with you for a long time now" she smiles. Just like all wolves I've dreamed of meeting her. But we all know it only happens when our mortal lives are over. Panic sets in as I think of Aiden. His going to be devastated. "I'm dead" I s

Leon and Aiden are quiet as I talk. I explain everything from breaking the bond against Tristan's wishes. To speaking with Selena, my father and my ability to choose my mate. Leon is quiet as Aiden looks anxious. "You want to find him" Aiden says sadly. I kick myself for not thinking of this earlier. Aiden feels threatened. A new father, a replacement of everything we have. "You'll always be my dad Aiden, no one can ever change that" I smile. Moving to take his hand. Aiden smiles, relief on his face but still sadness in his eyes. "I don't know of a Shayne Wardolf but there are not many royals left, we should be able track him down" I smile, "Thank you Aiden, I can do it alone if you don't want to" I reassure him. Aiden shakes his head "I'm in the whole way, I need to make sure his good enough" he says winking. I look to Leon who is still silent. Looking at nothing, his mind clearly racing. He is probably thinking about her. His mate he can't find until I decide. Aiden looks to L

I wanted to stay longer. To comfort him, to learn more about their childhood, but Aiden was more important. Seeing me with Nathanial would have broken his heart and I know he would be hurting right now. I said I would reject them and I had never broken my word before. My mind is a blur. How has someone who had never been kissed a week ago almost had sex with two men in one day?My hormone levels are clearly pushing me further into my heat. How do I beat this? Do I run? 'Please tell me where you are' I push my mind link through to Aiden. Nothing comes back. I feel his for emotions. Anger, fear, disappointment. I hate that I'm the one who has caused it all. Do I reject Nathanial? I guess I could have a happy life with Leon. But would it be the same? Am I holding him back from finding that same feeling I have with Nathanial?Beaten. By their own father. The person meant to love and protect him. While it will never justify Tristan's actions it makes sense why his so angry. His t

The water is up as high as it will go. The heat doing nothing to warm my frozen bones, I feel like my entire body has been dunked in liquid nitrogen. 4 rouge girls. Pleading for mercy & telling stories of their experiences in the Eclipse dungeons. Each one having been assaulted by the alpha. None naming the twins as their attackers but stating they'd heard other girls being attacked by them. All girls apparently touched by them never escaped. My heart wanted to believe they were innocent. At the very least that Nathanial was. But they obviously knew that these girls being treated like nothing but meat, used for the pleasure of their men and discarded like rubbish. It was normal to kill rouges found on pack land. They were a danger. But raping them was only done by feral packs. Packs with ruthless leaders & horrible warriors. I think of what Selena told me about my mother. The same thing that happened to Aiden's mate. They fought harder to force their death. Preferring it to be qui

As we head down the stairs my whole-body tingles, I know they are close. I feel my heat trying to push me to mate. To be marked. I will see Leon, Nathanial & today. Two powerful Alpha's, both ready to accept me. Then there is Tristan, the thought of the little boy in my dream haunting me. The change in his eyes, the sadness when he killed his father. All of it raw, with the sadness wanting to crush me. What he did when he met me was a disgrace. Something I thought unforgivable. Now that I have seen the truth, I'm unsure. He was not always dark; he was forced to be that way. Always the protector. Never protected even as a small child. I wasn't ready to face any of them. Not when I needed my focus elsewhere. As I near the door, my heart races. Aiden sensing this holds my arm tighter. 'I'm here for you Armina, I may not be able to promise everything but that I can' he reassures me through the mind link. I squeeze his arm tighter. 'Thank you, Aiden, I love you' 'More than life' he smil
