All Chapters of Conflicted - Twist of Fate. : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

My Nathanial, I sent this to Mira because I knew what the consequences of my actions would be. I'm sorry you had to see that, but I knew there were only two ends for me after you found your mate, exile which was a fate worse than death, or being able to have what I dreamed about my whole life before a quick death. I hope you can forgive me one day. I knew using that potion on you was wrong but I couldn't imagine us never having our time before I died. Mira has been warning me of the wars to come and I wanted that one moment for myself, it is selfish but I guess in the end I was. I truly hope you find happiness and Armina forgives you should that be your wish. I am sure Tristan is the one who completed my sentence but Mira had always predicted my end would be at his hands. Don't hate him Nathanial but also please don't continue to see yourself as less than him. Your heart and kindness have always been your strengths, we can't all be brute strength but that doesn't make us less. Ple

Tristan's perspective:Armina has been quiet. Lost in her own thoughts which I know she needs to do. I just hold her hand, running small circles with my thumb as we head off to meet with the alphas. The alpha of each pack is meeting us at one of the lakes, to share the knowledge we've gained and go over any strategies and concerns. It's something that needs to be done even if I wish I was alone with my mate instead. There is so much we need to sort out with Nathanial. Knowing we only have seven days until a war there is a good chance we won't all survive plays heavily on my mind. I won't lose Nathanial and I won't die having him think I hate him. We need to talk this all out, move towards forgiveness together. I know Armina feels the same but for now, business first. When we arrive the air is tense, but I look around at the twenty men before me and feel a surge of appreciation. I know they aren't here just for us, wolves know the lycan's don't respect us. They enforce taxes, take an

Armina's perspective: Nathanial looks nervous which instantly has me and Aurora anxious waiting for someone to say something. Aiden is struggling to meet my eyes, while Shayne looks concerned but still shows his normal calm nature he always has. Tristan feels the tension to and holds my hand tightly as we sit close together. Waiting for the shoe to drop. Nathanial starts by clearing his throat, before looking nervously between me and Tristan, clearly not knowing where to begin. Tristan is impatient, a sign of his his uncertainty around the behaviour of those in the room. "Spit it out Nathanial" he states, not harsh in his tone, just no nonsense as always. Nathanial nods, looking to Aiden who is glaring at him, Shayne also not showing any compassion towards him. It's then that I realise it. They know. They know what he did to me, yet that isn't what this is about. Nathanial wouldn't invite my father's here to talk about how he cheated on me. In fact, I think this whole thing has to

Armina's perspective: I wake surprisingly early, especially considering how late I was up. My body aches in that delicious kind of way, satisfied. My mate is asleep under me, my head on his chest. I don't move as I think about the ahead, wanting to make sure I don't wake him and he gets some rest. I know today Shayne wants to go over some information he has dug up about Destiny Wolves. Tristan has given him all of the diaries he could find and Aiden had reached out to an Elder friend to gain any insights possible. Shayne has spent a lot of time researching and wants me to try out different abilities, to see what I can do. I'm nervous if I'm being honest. I don't want to let anyone down but alot of the time my abilities are a suprise to me to. I have also been very distracted and have not been putting in the effort I should have been. Being distracted by everything else going on around me. It's time to focus. I look back at the clock. 5.45am. Time to get up, I need to shower and eat

“You want to what?” I find myself pretty much growling at Shayne, surely this is some kind of really bad joke. Shayne keeps composure which really annoys both me and Aurora as I look between two of most important men to me. “It’s motivation Armina” Aiden states simply, trying to make me see reason which instead just makes me angrier.There must be a better way to do this. “I don’t agree to this” I state stubbornly. Crossing my arms pretty much like a child as I shake my head. “Armina, whether you agree or not this is what is happening so you better get to work” Shayne states, pretty much surpassing me, showing me that genetics really are strong. He opens the bad he brought along with us, taking out what is clearly a silver knife. Not fake, not a training knife, “No!” I try to order, but he has already thrown it, with deadly accuracy towards Aiden.I throw my hands up and send not only the knife flying but Aiden too. Luckily, they don’t land too close together as I turn back ay Shayne f
