All Chapters of Conflicted - Twist of Fate. : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

"There is still hope for you to survive Armina" Leon says suddenly as I look at him in disgust. "You can surrender" he adds, an almost smirk on his face which turns my stomach. "You give me what I want and I promise I'll let you go in a few years" his eyes wandering up and down my body as I feel lust coming from him. I almost gag, feeling my stomach turn and finding myself suddenly grateful I hadn't eaten much recently or I'd probably be throwing up right now. Has he always been this cocky and arrogant ass? He always seemed to have a cushion upbringing, there is no obvious reason for how he became this jaded. "You really thought I'd sleep with you after you killed my mate?" Aurora and I both growl at him. Leon scoffs, "Your mate is pathetic" my hand instantly lashing out and punching him in the mouth, he spits out blood, shaking his head. He laughs again, which makes me want to snap his neck, this asshole deserves to die. "You really thought I'd give you children?" I say darkly, "

Armina's perspective: I haven't shifted yet, wanting to use my abilities until I'm all drained out before letting Aurora take control. I throw my arms out, sending the closest lycan hard into the trees where Connor & another wolf make quick work of him. I turn to the next two, sending them both back, one impaling on a branch and roaring in pain, as the other attempts to get back up and charge me. Dimitri is on him in seconds, his teeth clenching on his arm. The lycan punches him, hard. I'm scared, his still healing. But it's seconds before Karos arrives. His teeth catching the lycan at the throat and crushing it in seconds. I turn to see another lycan coming towards me and prepare to summon the wind again but Croxus is quicker. Tackling him to the ground and snarling as he tries to go for the kill. The lycan is quick and spins, kicking Croxus hard across the head. Sending him flying back hard. The lycan lunges forward, going for his chest. I scream, throwing my power

My mind drifts to a place I once enjoyed being summoned to. Now, I'm filled with anger and disappointment. Why encourage me to embrace my mates only to take Tristan away from me. She could have warned me about Leon too. The moment I see her white eyes I turn away. Refusing to acknowledge her. I feel her come closer and do nothing. "My child, please..", tears are flooding down my face, I'm not capable of this right now. I can't. I know all wolves struggle with the loss of their mates, but it doesn't feel like just my heart. My whole body feels his loss, I don't even want to think about my life without him. "You didn't recognise the symbol on Leon's necklace?" I turn, caught by my curiosity. She holds up her own necklace, the symbol of two cresent moons combined, a perfect match. I stare at her in confusion; "he hid from me too, I didn't know it was possible" she sighs sadly. I look to the ground. I can't do this right now. I can't do

I'm lost in thought the entire walk back to our back. Unable to think clearly. I sigh. 'Do you think anyone else knows?' Aurora sobs sadly, 'I think his figured it out' she says as I look ahead. Realising Nathanial is walking further away from me as Tristan stays close by my side. His hand in mine. 'What do we do?' I ask, 'Could it change?' I beg. She doesn't know either. It doesn't feel like it. The connection I have with Tristan is all consuming. We risked even Aiden's life to bring him back.When we make it to our floor of the pack house, the moment we reach the top of the stairs into the large living space Tristan smiles and pulls me into a hug. "Want to share the conflict going crazy in your mind right now?" Tristan asks, "Is it because of what you did?" He asks, whispering. My head pulls back in horror. "You know?" He nods. Pulling my hand into his. Kissing it gently. "I remember Armina, and while I was upset, I couldn't blame you" rubbing my hand as he looks into my eyes.

Tristan doesn't move for a long time. Staring at the stairs where his brother left. I feel horrible. I had ruined the relationship between them, possibly forever. I feel the tears falling down my face, trying not to make a sound as Tristan needs this time. I don't want to make this about me when he has just watched the one consistent person in his life walk away, not knowing if or when he will ever see him again. Of course, he senses it. He always can. He turns and pulls me into an embrace, his lips in my hair as he kisses me repeatedly on my head. "I'm so sorry." I plead the tears coming harder as I bury my face in his neck, hoping that one day he will truly forgive me for bringing this pain into his life. He has already suffered enough. He pulls my head back gently, his eyes sincere as he pleads with me. "Armina, I do not and will never blame you for this" he promises, which only makes me cry harder. "But you should, I didn't mean to" I sob. Tristan laughs. "Didn't mean to love me
