Conflicted - Twist Of Fate

Sarah.

Tristan is growling. His wolf Karos pulsating rage while Tristan tries to calm him.

"It doesn't make sense, he wouldn't" Tristan paces the room.

The pain within me has subsided. Aurora is certain of what we felt. She's also noticing that Nate is able to shield himself better from us than any other we've ever known.

There is something we're missing. I'm hesitant to approach this with Tristan. He has spent his whole life protecting him. At his own loss every step of the way.

I feel a sense of loss and betrayal. Yet something else. If Tristan had of done this I would be broken beyond repair. My bond with him is stronger. I hadn't allowed myself to acknowledge that before.

There were clearly secrets that Nate was keeping. Including a she wolf.

"We need to confront him" I say simply. Tristan looks broken.
Seeing his eyes so sad I hesitate.

"Whatever you want to do" he says sadly. He walks to me and takes my hand.

"I truly believe there is a different explanation, but I am with you. Always" he kisses my hand, causing my heart to melt.

"I don't expect you to turn your back on your brother" I reassure. Knowing I would never do that to him.

Tristan shakes his head. "If it is proven that Nate has besaken our Luna, he will be exiled. That I promise. I would not make you look at him each day" he kisses my hand again. His eyes filled with sadness.

"Let's hope you're right" I offer. Both of us heading to the door.

We search for a while. Tristan trying to mind link him while I can't bring myself too.

Tristan starts tracking him with the help of Karos. When he finally catches his scent it's in a small cottage outside the pack house. The moment he realises this is where he is, Karos starts growling.

Karos's rage pushes Tristan down, the wolf taking control by force.

"Tristan!" I yell. Watching as he races forward and kicks the door down.

I run to catch him as his running through the hall. My speed allows me to catch up.

Nate appears from a bedroom; pulling a t-shirt over his head. His eyes blank as he takes in his angry brother.

"How could you?!" Karos growls; throwing Nate into a wall. When Nate hits the wall his eyes widen, a confused look on his face.

Karos's anger grows, his fist connecting with Nate's face. Nate staggers and growls. "What are you doing Tristan?" He growls.

Tristan regains control. I think the violence is over. I'm wrong.

Tristan throws his fist again. Catching Nate to the side of his face. Nate goes to tackle him and Tristan throws him easily into the wall.

A scared, semi dressed Sarah exits the room and screams.

"Get out of my house Tristan!" She screams. Tristan punches Nate again, hard. Throwing him through the wall where he lands hard and disorientated.

Tristan turns and approaches Sarah, growling. She screams as Tristan grabs her by the throat.

"I as Alpha of the Eclipse pack; banish you Sarah Poole for your crimes against your Luna, you are not recognised as a member of this pack and therefore ROUGE!" He screams the last word.

He throws her hard towards my feet. "You can administer any further punishment you deem necessary" his voice calming for me.

Nate finally stands. His face confused. "What's happening?" He asks Tristan. He slowly walks towards me, "Armina?" He asks. I refuse to look at him as Tristan growls.
