A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 13 - Jake
I finally let Jaxx out through the forest at the top of the packland, up near the borders where I know I won’t be disturbed. Needing to feel the pain of pushing myself to my limit running up there, loving the sensation of the breeze through Jaxx’s fur as he paces through the trees at speed. I could still sense he was on edge, but allowing him out to run helped. He could let some of the unused energy up speeding around the forest, and in hunting small prey within the forest too. The fact he was not doing well with this showed how distracted his mind must be, as normally he was a refined hunter. Meeting Rose had clearly affected him. Clearly playing on his mind. Though it was still playing on my mind, so it is understandable.This was not how we had thought meeting our mate would be. This is not how it is supposed to be. Though I know you can't plan for everything to be perfect, this was beyond strange and it has really set me on edge. Something told me it didn't feel right, but I was t
A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 14 - Rose
I am just settling down to relax in the hotel, though I have to say it is quite the dump. Meeting my "mate" had completely ruined my plan of asking their advice on better quality hotels in the area, so I am stuck here tonight now at least.I managed to enjoy a bubble bath to relax, which was something after the long day at least. A day of flying and then going straight into a meeting was far from ideal, though certainly bad planning on my father’s part, I have to say. I had asked that the flight was a few days earlier, though I had also asked for a better hotel. Clearly, my opinion means very little to my father right now, so long as I am out here doing his job for him while he sits at home on his lazy behind,enjoying the money I am bringing in now for him from the business.What boils my blood more than anything is my father would not lower himself to stay in hotels like this, yet he expects his own daughter to stay here and put herself at risk of catching heaven knows what, from hav
A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 15 - Jake
I pace the footpath outside the coffee shop nervously, having arranged to meet Rose here. Should I really be nervous coming to meet my mate? This all seems so foreign and strange to me. I don’t know what to expect or what I should be feeling. I am almost certain it should not feel this difficult and awkward though… my doubts nag away at me.I don’t know why but my mind has been nagging away with doubts and questioning over whether this feels right since she said she needed space and time. The fact Jaxx feels on edge over his fated mate and her actions too, is only adding to these doubts. This is not how I envisioned meeting my mate would be, but I am too embarrassed, I guess, to tell anyone. I already know what Knox thinks about it all, going off his initial reaction. So, no doubt the others would be the same.If I go along with what she wants, are they going to see me as letting her walk all over me? But then, if I want to make a go of things with my fated mate like I should try to,
A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 16 - Rose
Well, I decided to meet him after so much contemplation. I truly was so close to nearly cancelling. I woke to a text from him telling me how much he was looking forward to seeing me – I mean, how pathetic?!And now I have met him, he is doing nothing but trying far too hard. I mean he is clearly a nice guy, which yes, there is nothing wrong with, but isn’t it a little boring? Anthony has some attitude and moodiness to him, it keeps things interesting. We clash and it makes things fun, I find. This boy is such a try hard.He may as well just beg me to be his mate, that is nigh on what he is doing right now. But, I will go along with it, until I can look into him, his pack, and decide what is best for me. I have been offered this opportunity for a reason. But I still think the background I am from is far too good for this neanderthal of a man. That is certainly what he comes across as when he talks.We sit down at the coffee shop, having ordered the food, I allowed him to pay, let him f
A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 17 - Jake
Well, we had managed to sit and have some breakfast and chat a little. She did not seem willing to give much away. I had not really learned much more than I already knew. Did not know whether she wanted me or not. Jaxx was just as unsettled, if not more so, which is making me real anxious, which is not a sensation I am massively used to, and I have to say, I do not like it, not one little bit.I truly thought talking to her would help. But it hadn’t. We had spoken, she had told me bits. Until her phone had rang, that was. She had walked off to answer it. I have sat at the table since, waiting patiently for her to return.Though my patience was beginning to wear out now. She had been gone fucking ages. She had gone to stand outside to answer her call, which yeah, I get, as the coffee shop had music playing, but I can't even see her now, she is not anywhere to be seen. I have long since finished my coffee. The food is cold and drying up. I am beginning to wonder if she is even going to
A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 18 - Jake
After finishing part of the stack of paperwork on my desk in my office, my brain was beginning to feel somewhat frazzled, not that it takes much at the moment, I have to admit, so I decided it was time to head to the kitchen to make myself a coffee when my phone buzzed.I took it from my pocket and looked at it, wondering who would be texting me. Most people in the pack use the mind link.-------------------JakeSorry I dashed off, the call was urgent, business related, could not get off to come and explain myself. Felt ever so rude, so I do apologize. I hope you can forgive me. Then my phone died, and I have been waiting for it to recharge to allow me to message to explain myself.As I said, I am truly sorry and hope you will forgive me. I hope the chat we had answered some of your questions. I am having to return home earlier than planned now, and will be flying home tomorrow now, so it is doubtful I will see you before that, but you have my contact number and I will forward my ema
A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 19 - Rose
I had to flee from the coffee shop. Anthony was in the country! He had travelled to see me! He had surprised me, that is why he had not been contactable. So, the moment he told me that I was not going to hang around to chat and make polite conversation with a "maybe mate" any longer. So I simply left and found a taxi back to the hotel to pack my things, asking Anthony to book me a flight to meet him. I would spend the last few days here with him, before heading home together.That would also mean I get to stay in a decent standard of hotel too, thank the lord! It was only when I got back to the hotel and was about to leave that I realised that I hadn’t even said goodbye to Jake. Haha, how rude of me! But, he completely slipped my mind the moment Anthony said he had come to see me! I could not help it. I didn’t do it on purpose. My mind was just so focused on Anthony and getting to him as soon as I could. Not to mention so touched by the fact he had gone to so much effort to surprise m
A Beta's Regret - A Twist of Fate? Chapter 20 - Knox
I was headed into the packhouse to my office when I saw Jake coming out of his office, crossing to the kitchen, likely for a coffee, and going off the look on his face he needed it. He looked fucking awful! I hadn’t seen him a few days, I knew that, but I had been busy helping Lilah look after Cleo who had been unwell, so we had been taking it in turns looking after her and both staying home. Plus, I had been giving Jake some space after he had been a little sharp with me after I said Rose didn't seem to care about him.No, maybe it wasn't the kindest thing to say, and maybe I should have held back, but it had slipped out before I had a chance to stop myself. The way he had responded told me he was either pissed off, hurt, or a combination of the two. And I have known him long enough to back off and give him space. I can't help my mouth sometimes. I say what I am thinking and it pisses my friends off. I easily offend people, but this is my friend, he is like a brother to me and I swea
