Sarah’s POV

I offered to buy the next round of drinks and took off towards the bar. This whole night had been a mistake and I just needed an excuse to step away for a minute. When Tyler had called to say our old karaoke crew was going out together again I thought, why not? The distraction would be good for me. I was wrong.

I was miserable. Between faking a smile all night and drowning my sorrows in alcohol, I hadn’t managed to actually have any fun. I loved being able to see my best friend again and I wanted nothing more than to spill my whole story to her so she could tell me everything would be okay like she always used to do. But I couldn’t. She had her own mate drama right now and I couldn’t burden her with my own problems too.

As I stumbled my way to the bar, I let my smile fall for the first time all night. For the next few minutes at least, I could take a break from pretending everything was fine.

“Oops! S-, sorry!” I slurred a bit as I apologized to whoever I’d just b

So while her body is saying yes, her conscious is saying no!! That is rape in my opinion, just not under normal circumstances!! She's not making the right decisions because of the alcohol and he's taking advantage of it knowing it's FREAKING WRONG!!

    Sarah’s POV I tipped my head up to find Finn’s eyes burning into me. His gaze was so intense, I wanted to look away, but I was spellbound, held in place by some unseen force. And then his mouth was on mine, crashing into me with such ferocity, my knees would have buckled if his body wasn’t holding me in place. He didn’t wait for me to grant him entrance, demanding it instead. I moaned into his mouth as our tongues tangled together, relishing his marshmallowy taste, just like he smelled. My hands slid under his shirt, tracing the lines of his rippling abs. His hands were busy squeezing my ass. Every taste, every touch felt amazing but it wasn’t enough. He was stoking a fire in me and he was the only one who could put it out. We broke apart for air but Finn’s lips never left me, kissing and nipping his way down my neck to my collar bone. I wrapped one leg around his waist, grinding against his rock hard length as he slipped my dress strap from my shoulder and released my aching tit

    Sarah’s POV “Rise and shine!” My mother chirped in her usual cheerful manner as she threw open the curtains covering my bedroom window. “Aach! Are you trying to blind me?” I complained, the streams of sunlight stabbing my eyes like a hot poker. It was bad enough my head felt like it was going to pound out of my skull. The last thing I needed was to go from blurred vision to none at all. “Listen, young lady,” my mother’s tone quickly morphed from syrupy to stern, a particular talent of hers, “if it weren’t for me coming in here to pull your lazy behind out of bed, you would be late for your best friend’s bridal shower. Besides, it’s hardly my fault you chose to tie one on last night and wake up with a hangover, again!” “Tie one on? Really mom, who even says that anymore?” I teased, rolling my eyes playfully at her before being reminded that even that small action hurt. She was right though. I knew I needed to be on the road to Glass Lake pack early this morning. I was heading

    Zayne’s POV I was in a surprisingly good mood today. So much so that I felt nothing but joy for my best friends as we celebrated their final days as bachelors, drinking fine whiskey, enjoying perfectly cooked steaks, and reminiscing together with some of the other guys from our pack at one of our favorite restaurants. Despite still not having found my mate, I wasn’t envious like I thought I might be. Despite being happy for my best friends and Alphas, I still wasn’t sure exactly what had changed. A few months ago, I had gone along on a trip to RedWoods pack to search for my mate while the guy’s and Kat were there on business. When I’d come away disappointed yet again, I’d become severely depressed. It was becoming difficult to even do my job as Beta. I just didn’t want to get out of bed anymore. But then, I’d had a talk with Kat, our future Luna, and she’d encouraged me not to give up. I’d told her I was thinking of just taking a chosen mate and she made me promise not to. She’d enc

    *Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature. Sarah’s POV Zayne was staring at me with a stunned look on his face, not speaking and not moving. I was still wrapped in his arms. He hadn’t let me go and stepped away from me. But he hadn’t responded to my declaration either. Maybe he hadn’t heard me correctly. “Zayne, will you please mark me?” I tried again. “I know it’s fast so if you want to wait I totally understand but like you said, you’ve already waited a long time and we’ve already accepted each other so I just think, why wait?” I was rambling but I couldn’t help myself. I felt like the Moon Goddess was giving me another chance to be happy and I didn’t want to let it slip away. Part of me could hardly believe it was real. Did this mean Finnick finally accepted the rejection? I thought I would feel it if that happened but maybe I was wrong. Maybe I was in so much pain already that I just didn’t notice when he decided to let go. It tugged at my heart a li

    *Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature. Sarah’s POV “Sarah, I need to tell you something.” Zayne said nervously. Now it was my turn to be afraid as a jolt of fear shot through me. What could he possibly need to tell me so badly he would interrupt sex for it? I just hoped he didn’t hurt me the way Finnick had. “O-, okay.” Was all I could say. “It’s just . . . Fuck, this is embarrassing.” He grumbled to himself as his words trailed off. “You’re scaring me, Zayne. Please just tell me.” I pleaded before I lost my mind drawing my own conclusions. “I’m a virgin!” He blurted out. I was so shocked, I couldn’t respond immediately. He actually waited for his mate, for me? I couldn’t believe it! While I fought to find the words to express how happy I was, he started talking again. “It’s just, I know you had a mate before me so you may have certain expectations and I don’t want you to be disappointed.” He confessed. “Zayne, we weren’t together that way.” I ad

    Zayne’s POV Joy radiated through every fiber of my being as I stared down at my beautiful mate while she slept. We had been marked and mated for a full week and every day was better than the last. I knew finding one’s mate was a wolf’s greatest gift from the Moon Goddess and I had yearned for mine for the longest time. But never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined someone as amazing as Sarah or the feeling of pure bliss she brought to every aspect of my life. She was sheer perfection! I still couldn’t believe some idiot had cheated on her! We still hadn’t discussed all the details that led her to reject him but it could wait. For the time being, I just wanted to enjoy getting to know my mate and spend time with her. Every day I learned something new about her that proved more and more she was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. My mind drifted back to the day we met. I found it astonishing that after all those years of searching, I found her in my own back

    Finnick’s POV “Fucking piece of shit!” I groused to myself, pulling the car over to the side of the road to change the flat tire. Nothing had gone my way from the moment I woke up this morning. First one of our trainers hadn’t shown up for his shift so I had to step in to lead warrior training. Then, patrol spotted rogues prowling our borders so I had to run all the way to the edge of our territory to check on the situation. Not to mention the pile of paperwork on my desk that needed to be addressed today. Now, I was running late for the Glass Lake Alpha’s mating ceremony and my fucking pack SUV I borrowed was not cooperating. Not that I should be surprised by any of that. Nothing had really gone right for me since the day I left RedWoods five years ago. And things had definitely gone downhill in the three months since I’d last seen Sarah. It took everything I had just to get out of bed everyday. I hadn’t given up on her. Not even close! But after that night I brought her home f

    Finnick’s POV “Finnick, what are you doing here?” Sarah demanded, but I couldn’t form the words to respond. I was too busy staring at the gorgeous man with the beautiful ice blue eyes and well-muscled physique begging to be explored who was standing beside her. It wasn’t that I was no longer interested in Sarah. She was still my mate and I loved her as much as I ever did. It was just that I was too stunned by my connection with the fucking Adonis next to her to process anything else. “Mate!” He and his wolf howled back. “Wh-, What?” Sarah mumbled, finally noticing the way we were looking at each other and registering the connection between us. Her voice was filled with shock, confusion, and pain. It was the hurt in her tone that finally broke the trance I was in, my wolf insisting we check on our other mate. I still couldn’t wrap my head around having two mates but I would worry about that later. Right now, Sarah needed comfort and I would do whatever I could to give it to h

    (Four Months Later) Sarah’s POV “Aaagh! I can’t do this anymore!” I cried, falling back into Zayne’s arms, totally spent. “Yes, you can, princess! You’re almost there.” he encouraged, brushing my hair back out of my face and wiping the sweat off my forehead. “You’ve got this, kitten. Just keep thinking about holding our pup in your arms.” Finn added. “Why is it taking so long? Kat pushed out two babies in less than an hour.” I complained at the unfairness of my situation. “My babies were smaller because there were two of them, sweetie.” Kat explained. “”But I had to do this part twice and it hurt like a bitch both times if that makes you feel any better.” “It doesn’t!” I pouted. “I’m so tired. And Sadie is pacing in my mind, worried about the pup. It’s too much!” Finn pressed his forehead to mine. “Callum and Triton will calm Sadie. Just try to relax until the next contraction.” I’d gone into labor nearly twelve hours ago and our stubborn little pup was still refusing to

  • A Tangled Fate: Bound By Her Betas   Ch. 116 Inseparable

    Sarah’s POV Reaching the exit of the goddess forsaken prison we were being held in was easier than expected. The arrogance of the Dark Fae in thinking themselves too superior to wolves, even gifted wolves, to even consider we might be capable of such a thing made our work that much easier. Only three creatures stood in our way as we ran through the barren corridors and Kat easily took them down. It was only once we actually made it outside that the real obstacles appeared. Nearly running smack into the back of the colossal Dark Fae army could have easily ended our bid for freedom. Miraculously, Kat was able to create an invisible wall of air between us and them, Zoe and I bouncing off of it and falling back on our assess. Still, we somehow went unnoticed. The Moon Goddess was definitely with us. Kat quickly helped me to my feet and we both lifted Zoe from the ground. My sister-in-law was shaking so violently, she could barely force her legs to move. Kat was already heading for cover

    Zayne’s POV As we pulled away from Glass Lake territory, an entire cavalcade of vehicles trailed behind us, all filled with our best fighters. But knowing what the Dark Fae could do, I wasn’t sure it would be enough. At most, a wolf attack would provide a distraction, but that distraction could mean the difference between success and failure. Guilt slithered through my veins at the thought we were leading them like lambs to a slaughter. “How many Light Fae do you think will come?” I asked Finn for the hundredth time, my leg bouncing nervously and bumping into his. “Enough, I hope.” Finn answered vaguely, placing a steadying hand on my knee. Finn slid his hand into mine, lacing our fingers together. It was comforting to feel his warm body pressed into my side and his strong hand gripping mine. But even so, the fear and uncertainty passing back and forth between us through the bond was like an elephant on my chest, crushing me. My free hand slipped inside my jacket pocket, feelin

    Sarah’s POV I woke with a start and immediately missed the coolness of the stone my face had been pressed against. My stomach roiled and bile burned in my throat. I tried to breathe through my nose but it didn’t help and before I knew it, dry heaves wracked my body. I tried to brush my hair out of my face but the motion produced a loud clanking sound and a searing pain in my wrists as my arms were yanked back. It was then I realized I was sitting on a dirt floor, my arms bound in silver and chained to the wall. Suddenly it all came rushing back. Attempting to clear the grogginess, I shook my head but that only made the nausea return. I rested my cheek against the cool stone wall and waited for the churning in my gut to subside. And while I waited, I tried to make sense of my surroundings. Where the fuck was I? I had no idea how far we’d run when the Dark Fae found us. And we’d covered our scent so wherever we were, no one would be able to track us here. We were just going to h

    Finn’s POV Hours passed while we ran in circles, chasing scents that had somehow ceased to exist. Zayne and I felt nothing through the bond. No fear, no pain. It was as if our mate had disappeared completely, along with her scent. Dillon and Zoe had not sealed their bond so he couldn’t tell, but the Alphas said their connection with Kat felt the same. Simply empty. None of us wanted to admit defeat but it was painfully clear we were getting nowhere. Finally Reegan and Ryan suggested we return to the packhouse to regroup and gather reinforcements. The rest of us reluctantly agreed, having no better options. “We are too far to reach the pack through mindlink, but I will call Elder Alma on our way home and ask her to contact the Fae Queen. Maybe she will know how we can find them.” Ryan offered up what seemed to be our only remaining option. Reegan nodded curtly, acknowledging his brother, but otherwise he hadn’t spoken a word in the last hour. I knew he was trying to maintain the o

    A few hours earlier at the Karaoke Lounge Reegan’s POV I loved listening to Kat sing. I could still remember that first night I’d heard her beautiful voice. I was already desperately in love with her at the time but hearing her sing only enchanted me further. I’d even dreamed about the day she would sing to our children and now that dream had come true. When the emcee called her on stage, indicating it was her turn to perform, I knew what had already been a good night so far was about to get even better. Ryan and I both watched in awe as she picked up the mic and sung the first few lines in that sexy, sultry voice of hers. I stole a glance at the rest of our table to find they were all equally entranced. But as the song went on, I became more and more distracted. My eyes never left my gorgeous Luna but my mind drifted. My gut twisted nervously as the feeling that I was missing something kept growing stronger. I tried to shake it off, determined not to ruin the evening for my brothe

    Sarah’s POV I quickly pushed through the door behind me and walked around the back of the building until I came to another door. As I predicted, Kat came bursting through it, nearly bowling me over in her haste. “Fuck!” She cried out when she slammed into me. “Sorry!” “What for?” My voice was hard, perturbed that she hadn’t let me in on her plan. “Are you sorry for nearly running me over or for trying to leave without me?” Before she could answer, footsteps were heard running up behind us. I turned, my claws out to attack our intruder. “Damn it Zoe! You scared the shit out of me!” I growled when she came into view. “I was ready to rip you apart. What are you doing here?” “The better question is, what are the two of you doing here?” She crossed her arms over her chest stubbornly. “It doesn’t matter, Zoe. You have to go back. Both of you do.” Kat growled at us. “You might not know it yet, but the Moon Goddess chose me as your Gamma Female. So whether you like it or not, where my

    Sarah’s POV I couldn’t shake the nausea that had settled in my gut like an unwelcome houseguest. I was excited for a night out with my mates and our friends but the feeling that something bad would happen just wouldn’t leave me alone. Maybe I really did have PTSD. After the last attack, maybe I was no longer capable of believing we could celebrate together without the Dark Fae coming along to destroy our happiness. No matter what, I wouldn’t let my apprehension show on my face. We deserved an opportunity to let loose and have fun. I wasn’t about to ruin that for everyone else, especially Kat. If anyone had earned a reprieve, it was her. Determined to have a good time, I shoved all negativity aside and focused on perfecting my make-up. I hadn’t been getting much sleep or eating much lately and it was beginning to show on my face. My skin looked pale and my eyes looked tired and drawn. I had my work cut out for me. But no matter how hard I tried to divert my attention, the nausea
