Conflicted - Twist Of Fate

Tristan

"Tristan I" I freeze. What do I say? I saw your memories and felt sorry for you?
I'm on heat and can't control my newly found skanky behaviours?
I still have no idea what I'm going to do and now I've dragged another person back into it.
Someone who has been hurt enough for one life time.

My chest hurts.

"Armina it's okay, you're a destiny wolf. Your heat must be kicking your ass right now. I know this is all hard for you and I'm grateful you gave me this experience" he smiles and touches my cheek, I find myself leaning into his touch.

"Especially after what I did. Tonight is something I'm going to remember for the rest of my life. I didn't know anything could feel that good" his eyes watering slightly as he speaks. 

"How do you know what I am?" I ask, remembering Nate knowing the term to. Leo had made it sound like it wasn't common knowledge. Tristan's eyes darken again, "You don't have to tell me" I insist, sad the small change I'd seen had gone. He shakes his head, "We were locked away alot, we learned to hide books in the attic for something to keep us sane" his voice breaking "I remember reading a diary from a destiny wolf in the 1800s. He was very gifted, although you seem to be surpassing him quickly" his eyes filled with pride, "He got a new ability every 2 years not every second day" Tristan smiles. "It's a very long diary, it had a lot about the issues he faced. I remember meeting a woman with the last name Belecove as a boy so I knew they weren't all gone like people thought. I knew there was a possibility there would be another destiny wolf one day. I was only surprised no one knew about you until now" his eyes moving around my face as he talks. "I'm betting Aiden did that to make sure people didn't try to use you to strengthen their packs, his a smart man"

"What was her name?" I ask shocked as I realise what that could mean, "Katrina" he whispers, his eyes suddenly filled with understanding. "Are you?" I nod, tears forming behind my eyes. "You met my mother?"

Oh no. Did their father kill her too? Is the Eclipse pack responsible for her passing? Selena said it was rouges?

"Can you see my memories?" Tristan asks, his hand staying on my cheek. I nod. Unable to be surprised with his knowledge anymore. It feels like he knows everything about me. He sees who I am. "Can you control it?" I shake my head and he sighs. "Do you think you could try?" I catch on to what he means. If I could search his memory. I could see my mum. Maybe the royal family isn't my only way of getting answers.

"Not here, we've been in here too long" knowing Leo & Aiden would know exactly what was happening in here. Tristan nods. "I'm in room 32" he hands me a key.
"Just wake me if it's late" he smiles. I nod as he bows slightly, "Your majesty" he winks, a smile playing on his lips.
He quickly leans forward and plants his lips on mine. I can't help but smile as I kiss him back.

"Just in case it's my last chance" he whispers. Unlocking the door and heading out to the party.

'Surely you're not rejecting him?' Aurora sighs watching him go. 'I don't think I can answer her. Feeling her excitement grow.

Aiden said it was my choice.
I care about Leo. I do. But his not them. The thought of being with Nate & Tristan for the rest of my life, of mating with them, having their children, growing old together. It's too much to give up.
I don't know what to do about the packs. That's something I have to work out.
But for now I need to do the right thing.
Talk to Aiden & reject Leo.
Leo would find his true mate.
Aiden however, I'm not sure how he will move past this.
I just hope he will forgive me one day.
