A Cruel Fate: Her Gamma's Regret Ch. 18 She's Right
Dillon’s POV I sat in my office, throwing back another tumbler full of whiskey as I savored memories from the morning’s training session. She’d been there! I’d felt her the second I stepped out onto the field. Dorian had yipped in my head, racing in circles in his excitement to finally see his mate after days of missing her. I had scanned the crowd and immediately located Zayne but she wasn’t with him. Where was she, I wondered as I continued my search. Finally, my eyes landed on her. She was hiding in the back, probably avoiding me, but I wasn’t going to let her get away with that. Not when she was right in front of me, within my reach. Nice try my little love. She’d ignored me for a whole week and it had taken every ounce of restraint I possessed not to kick her damn door in and tie her to a chair, or better yet, the bed, until she heard me out. Instead, I’d sat outside her suite like the loyal fuckin’ puppy dog I was, hoping she would take pity on me and let me in. I knew it

Zoe’s POV “Zayne, we need to talk!” I burst out with determination the second I walked in the door to our suite. “Well, hello to you too. My day was great! Thanks for asking!” He commented facetiously. “I guess I already know how your day was. What’s on your mind, Zo? “I want to leave for school early, take some time to get settled in before classes start, and find a job. Can you get me a ticket to Ashmouth for tomorrow morning?” I asked, softening my tone and giving him my best puppy-dog eyes. “Tomorrow!” He jumped up from his seat. “Why so soon? What’s going on, Zoe?” “I just need a change, Zayne. I’m about to crawl out of my skin here. I feel suffocated.” It wasn’t a lie. “Am I suffocating you? Because I know I’m not the best surrogate parent, but I try to give you as much space as I can while still making sure you know I’m here for you.” He said, his brow furrowed like he was trying to work out where he went wrong. I felt the pain on his face like a stab to the gut.

Zoe’s POV I thought about ignoring Dillon’s demand, but I knew it would be futile. He would catch me easily and drag me back. I was going to have to face him, face the reality of this disastrous bond. Steeling myself for the inevitable, I squared my shoulders and turned to face him. “Dillon, please-” I began, hoping to deflect his barrage of questions but he cut me off. “Don’t! I don’t want to hear your excuses anymore, Zoe! You’re going to talk to me, like it or not!” He said abruptly, his voice sharper than he’d ever been with me. “But, I-” I tried again, but he wouldn’t let me speak. “I said don’t!” He barked again. “And we are definitely not having this conversation here.” Dillon wrapped a large hand around my upper arm and pulled, forcing me to follow him. He led me out the front door and started dragging me towards the woods. But apparently I wasn’t moving fast enough for him because he suddenly swept my feet out from under me, lifting me into his arms so he could

Hello again lovely readers, Welcome to A Cruel Fate: Her Gamma's Regret! If you are joining again for this third and final book in this trilogy, welcome back! For those of you who read the first two books, Dillon and Zoe's story was happening concurrently in the timeline with the other two so we are going back in time a bit, but rest assured, this book will take us beyond book two, to the end of the line for the wolves or Dark Fae. Only time will tell who prevails. In addition to A Cruel Fate, I am currently writing another book that will be coming to GN soon. In order to continue with that process and maintain expectations for publishing both books in a timely manner, I will be updating this book on Monday, Wednesday, Friday evenings Hawaii Standard Time. This will allow me to update the other book on alternate days and have a rest on Sunday. Thank you all so much for joining me on this journey! Every comment, review, and gem means more to me than you know! Much love, Cara

(Mature content) Zoe’s POV Though it was only the second time, Dillon’s kisses were always a revelation. In all the nights I’d spent fantasizing about what it would feel like having his mouth on me, my innocent mind had never imagined this. It was both sweetness and sin, achingly gentle then bruisingly rough. He kissed me like it was the last time, but I couldn’t think about that now. “Fuck, Zoe! I’ll never get enough of you.” He breathed against my lips, then nibbled my bottom lip between his teeth. My answering gasp was the opening he needed and he took full advantage, sweeping his tongue between my lips. The way he licked and tasted me, moaning in satisfaction, made my head foggy and my knees weak. All I could do was cling to him and try to keep up. “Closer!” I insisted, weaving my fingers through his hair and wrapping one leg around his hip to press him closer to me. “I need you closer!” “With pleasure, baby doll!” He murmured as he nipped the sensitive spot below my ear

(Mature Content) Zoe’s POV “Please, Dillon! I want you to fuck me!” I pressed again as he continued to stare at me, a conflict raging behind his eyes. Finally, something snapped, and he stepped toward me, cupping my face in his hands. “Do you really want that?” He whispered, searching my eyes for the truth. “Yes!” I breathed, reaching for his cock that was iron hard and standing at attention between us once again. But Dillon grabbed my wrist, stopping me from touching him. “Not here.” He answered my questioning gaze. “I will not allow your first time to be up against a tree or on the dirty forest floor.” “Okay,” I nodded. “I know a place we can go.” “Tell me.” He ordered, snatching up our discarded shirts and lifting me into his arms. I coiled my arms around his neck and locked my ankles behind his back, then leaned forward to plant a chaste kiss on his lips before answering him. “To our old cabin, where we used to live before . . .” My words trailed off, not wanting the s

(Mature Content) Zoe’s POV “You’re going to come on my tongue now, baby doll.” Dillon ordered after thrusting his smooth tongue into me a few times. As soon as his last word was spoken, he was back to tongue fucking me. Every lick of his hot, silky tongue stroked my g-spot, driving me wild. I found myself forcing my hips down, trying to drive him deeper inside me. “That’s it, baby doll. Fuck yourself on my tongue. Use me, take what you need, my little goddess.” His words in my head startled me at first, but as they sunk in, it only made me wetter. “Fuck yes! Give me your sweet nectar, baby!” He linked again as another gush of slick poured from my hole. “Dillon . . . Fuck!” I screamed when he buried his tongue even deeper inside me and pinched my clit hard, ringing another orgasm from me. He continued to lick my walls until the last shudder of my release rippled through me. I laid there panting, sweat beading on my forehead, my hands still twisted in the sheets as I tried to com

(Mature Content) Dillon’s POV I knew I was sleeping, dreaming. But fuck, if the Goddess was going to bless me with a replay of my night with Zoe every time I fell asleep, I was going to be getting a lot more rest. I’d never felt more at peace than I did holding that woman in my arms. I would relive those moments every Goddess damn night if I could. “Are you sure you’re not too sore to go again, baby doll? You’re so tight and I’m not exactly small. And well, I did get a little rough.” I cringed at the thought of hurting her. “Yes you did, and I loved every minute of it. I am sore, but in a good way. And I’m definitely sure I want more of you.” She said confidently, licking her lips as she watched me stroke my growing erection. Everything she did made me hard. When she stared at me with that seductive look on her face, one she was too innocent to even know she was making, it fuckin’ drove me insane! My cock was already painfully hard and I needed my little baby doll to ease the ach

So if you have time, please let me know what you though, either in the review or comments section. I would appreciate it so much! As for what comes next, I will be working on The Legends of Glass Lake Series which will focus on the next generation of the Glass Lake as well as their friends and allies' children. Book one is still untitled but will focus on Mason Cross and Elena Stone as well as introducing new characters. I hope to begin publishing the first few chapters in early January and hope you'll join me for the ride. That's a wrap for Derek and Julia. For now. We'll see them again soon! Much love, Cara
A Cruel Fate: Her Gamma's Regret Epilogue
Julia’s POV 5 Years Later “Hurry up! We’re going to be late!” I called to Derek, trying to rush him along. Kat, Reegan and Ryan were holding a birthday party for their two year old son Liam and we were running behind as usual. With our own two year old and four year old, going anywhere as a family was a lot like herding cats. Everyone was either moving in different directions or refusing to move at all. Currently, it was the latter. “I can’t get Lexi off the toilet, sweetness.” Derek’s exasperated voice called back. We were potty-training our daughter and Derek loved to say she was a typical woman, once you got her in the bathroom you couldn’t get her out. I crept down the hall to check on their progress and had to choke back a laugh at the conversation they were having. “Please, Lexi-Lou, show dada what a big girl you are! As soon as you go potty in the toilet, we can go to Liam’s party and you can have cake and ice cream!” He bargained. “But, I not a big girl, dada. I your b
A Cruel Fate: Her Gamma's Regret Ch. 22
Julia’s POV Pain seared through the raw nerves where Derek’s fangs pierced my neck. Marking was usually done in the heat of passion, a pleasurable distraction from the pain, but Derek hadn’t waited for that and I couldn’t care less. I loved that he was so desperate to make me his, he couldn’t wait to sink his teeth into me. The sharp sting was a reminder that he was really there and I was really his, that it hadn’t all been a wonderful yet finite dream. But the pain went as quickly as it had come, mutating into a sensual thrill that ignited my lust while turning my bones to jelly. Derek groaned in pleasure as our bond solidified, pulling me tighter against him to hold me up as my knees weakened beneath me. A long languorous moan fell from my lips as Derek swirled his tongue over his mark. Then suddenly, a whirlwind of love, devotion, lust, and a fierce possessiveness hit me square in the chest, knocking the air from my lungs. I’d believed Derek when he’d said he loved me, but this
A Cruel Fate: Her Gamma's Regret Ch. 21
Derek’s POV The drive back to Glass Lake territory was the longest of my life! With every passing mile, a new worry assaulted me. Winning Julia back was far from a sure thing. I still didn’t know if she really slept with Eric. The thought of him putting his hands on her luscious body or sticking his cock in her tight, hot pussy infuriated me! But it also scared the shit out of me, because if she did fuck him, it meant she had already moved on. Julia Kane was stunningly gorgeous, fiercely loyal, and stubborn as hell. If she decided she was done with me, there would be no changing her mind. The thought of her slamming the door in my face left me equal parts terrified and depressed as fuck. A future without her felt so bleak, cold and empty. But the more I thought about it, the more dejected I became. If she’d been the one to find her mate, and agreed to give him a chance so easily, let me walk away without a fight, I’m not sure I would have given her another chance either. B
A Cruel Fate: Her Gamma's Regret Ch. 20
Derek’s POV Eric’s taunt sent me into a red fucking rage! I wanted to slice his dick off with my claws and shove it down his fucking throat. Julia was mine! MINE! And nobody fucking touched her but me! I suspected they’d slept together in the past and the thought of them doing it again gutted me. I’d put everything she’d done before me out of my mind, just like she’d done for me. But Julia Kane had carved her name on my heart, branded it on my soul, and nobody else could have her now! “Derek, stop!” Julia screamed, stepping in front of Eric. “It’s okay, sunshine.” Eric chuckled, wrapping an arm around her torso. “He’s so pissed he can’t see straight. I doubt he could land a hit if he tried.” “Not helping!” Julia hissed at him over her shoulder. “Step back and cool off!” Damien barked, his steadying hand on my shoulder. I was fucking furious and my chest heaved violently. I balled my fists at my sides, trying to restrain my beast but my body swayed in Eric’s direction. My

Julia’s POV “So you come out here everyday to collect samples?” I asked Trista as we tramped through the forest together. She was explaining her research on forest sustainability and showing me how she collected test samples to see how different trees and plants responded to different fertilization compounds. It was part of her postdoctoral work and way over my head but still fascinating. Although I had to admit, listening to her enthusiasm for the subject left me feeling a little left behind. Zoe had left for college right after high school and Kat had midwife training. Trista was well on her way to saving our habitat and I was still deciding what I wanted to be when I grew up. That thought led me to wonder what Amber’s aspirations were. Was she going to college? Did she have plans to do something important with her life, medical research like Zoe or maybe become a doctor? Was she smarter than me? From there I found myself diving head first down the rabbit hole of all the
A Cruel Fate: Her Gamma's Regret Ch. 18
Derek’s POV “Fuck man! I don’t know what to say.” Dillon had ceased trying to strangle me to death and had moved on to pacing a hole in the office floor. “I mean she’s my sister. I can’t stand the thought of her heartbroken and alone. But after finding Zoe, I know what it’s like to meet your fated mate. I could never expect you to give that up.” “Amber, could you please excuse us. I’d like to talk with the Gamma alone for a minute.” I tried asking nicely with little hope it would get me very far. “Oh no! Absolutely not! I’m your mate. There is nothing you can’t say in front of me.” She actually stamped her foot at the end of that little speech. “Of course, I can say it. I just don’t want to!” I explained, grabbing her arm and dragging her toward the door. “:Let’s go, princess.” “What? No!” She squawked in protest. “You’re my mate! You can’t tell me no! That’s not how it’s supposed to work!” She whined the whole way but I wasn’t giving in. Once I managed to deposit her outsi
A Cruel Fate: Her Gamma's Regret Ch. 17
Derek’s POV I was losing my ever-loving shit! How could she be moving on already? Out partying, dancing, smiling like she wasn’t missing me at all. Meanwhile, I was so twisted up in knots, I couldn’t think straight. And what the fuck did she mean by ‘fucking someone isn’t the same as getting to know them’? Who’s fucking who? She couldn’t possibly think I was fucking Amber. I knew it happened often with fated mates but surely not when they were already in love with someone else. I owed it to myself and Amber to get to know her, Just like Jules told me to do. But she couldn’t possibly think I’d get over what we had and hop into bed with Amber that quickly. Okay sure. That’s who I used to be. But that was before Julia Kane came along and turned my world upside down. I was a different person now and even if things didn’t work out with Julia and me, I wasn’t sure I could ever go back to being that guy. Not when I knew how disappointed she would be in me. That thought made me sick
A Cruel Fate: Her Gamma's Regret Ch. 16
Julia’s POV “I think I'm going to visit Forest Trails for a few days. I met Trista the last time she and her Alpha were here and I really liked her.” I was sitting in the living room of the cabin my brother and Zoe had moved into, trying to stop my turmoil from leaking through our sibling bond. Based on the way Dillon was watching me like he would a wounded animal, I wasn't sure I was succeeding. Zoe gave me a knowing look, but thankfully said nothing to my brother about the suspicions I saw shining in her eyes. “It’s been weeks since they were here and you never said a word. Why now?” Dillon’s tone was accusatory, telling me he’d already sniffed out my ulterior motives. “”Hmm?” I put a finger on my chin in a pensive expression. “Maybe because you’re all mated up and hiding from the rest of the world.” He shot me a beleaguered look. One that said he did not appreciate my snarky attitude. Zoe giggled at his put upon expression but instead of the same exasperated huff I got fr
