All Chapters of Conflicted - Twist of Fate. : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

After dressing I find myself looking for Tristan. Nathanial reassuring me he is going to sort everything out. Promising I won't feel this hurt again as he goes off. I'm sure to find her, to tell her it's over once and for all. I wander towards the stairs, running into Grace, "Armina, just the woman I was looking for" her kind eyes instantly improving my mood. "Hi Grace, how are you?" I smile, "I'm well my dear, I was wanting to talk to you about your Luna ceremony, I know we've got other priorities right now but as you know it has to be done during the full moon, so we need to decide whether it's going to be in 2 weeks or 6" she beams; looking down an a calender she's holding. I laugh, she has nothing but kindness and love in her. It comes off her in waves. I'm so thankful for her. "Um, let me chat with Tristan, I'm going to look for him now" I smile. "Follow the garden bed to the right of the front entrance, it's around 2 miles but you'll hear the waterfall soon enough, that's whe

You really came here to attack my daughter?!" Aiden growls. His eyes are black as he makes his way closer to his former best friend. Ethan looks down. "We wouldn't need to if she had made the right choice" he whispers as Tristan growls. "She chose this pack of savages, even after our pack made sure she survived her toddler years" Ethan's eyes looked to me with hate. "You were meant to choose Leon, or an alpha from a pack that could help us take these monsters down" He looks to Tristan. "They killed most of our pack, and you stand here with their marks" he spits on the ground in front of me. "What would Elena think? Knowing your now one with the monsters who killed her?" Ethan growls, Aiden's fist connects with his face. The Alpha glaring at his former Beta. "How many more are coming?" Aiden demands. Ethan laughs. "You won't win this, no one wants to see this pack of degenerates get any stronger" Tristan growls. I see him fighting against Cole for control. He wants to snap his neck

I stare into the eyes of the man before me. His fierce bright blue eyes, the slight violey underneath. My eyes move around his face. Seeing my own features reflected. "Your Shayne?" I ask my voice shaking. He nods slowly. A kind smile filling his face. "A friend of yours sought me out. He told me I had a daughter. I didn't believe him until he showed me a photo" he moved closer to me. A feeling of calm filling every part of me as he gently touches my face. An instant connection, so I know he tells the truth. This is him. "A friend?" Tristan asks; taking my hand in his. "Yes a friend" a familiar voice sounds, instantly causing Tristan and Aiden to growl. Leon stands to the side, avoiding coming too close. His eyes darting to his dead brother on the ground with a broken expression before he gathers himself. "Wow, calm down" Shayne looks to Tristan, a slight look of pride in his protectiveness. "He wanted to help, he knew what his father was up too" Leon nods. Moving closer to

Her hair is long and wavy, a few shades lighter than mine. She's looking into the eyes of a younger Shayne, the love evident in her eyes. "How do you do that?" She laughs, "Do what?" Shayne asks, holding her hand as the two watch an old movie on a large outdoor projector. "Make me forget" she explains, throwing a piece of popcorn in the air and catching it in her mouth. "Katrina, no one knows who you are, we are safe" he says reassuringly, she looks down at her hand in his. "But.." he cuts her off my pushing his lips against hers, which she instantly responds too. "I love you, I will always keep you safe" he promises. The memory fading. "Come on don't be a wimp" She's yelling out from a large pond, "I am not a wimp" Shayne calls out, "It's freezing" he laughs. "You coming or not" she calls out swimming around, Shayne jumps, landing in the water with a big splash as he swims under water. He comes up under her, making her laugh as he pulls her to him in an embrace" the two kiss and l

'Where are you?' Tristan's voice sounds through our link, his trying to hide his concern. 'I'm okay, I'm with Shayne' I send back. 'Wake me next time' he responds playfully, 'You need rest' I smile, 'I need you more' this man knows the way to a girls heart. I tell Shayne that I'll see him soon, heading back to find my mates. We will need to be out with the pack today. We were lucky in our losses I've been told, no deaths, just a few bad injuries. It's almost unheard of in an attack of this scale, but our warriors are strong. The big injuries were of the wolves near the border, luckily the attackers were too eager to launch their attack on me and my mates, not focusing on whether they had finished the job. But our borders were still breached. Our pack has been shown to have weaknesses that need to be fixed. We needed to be down with our people, reassuring them and making sure we were doing everything possible to protect those around us. I can't bare to think of any one dying because
