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

Finnick’s POV I let Sarah’s scent guide me all the way through a maze to the center of the rose garden. Despite the fragrant flowers, now that I was more in tune with the smell of her and Zayne combined, she was easy to find. She was sitting on a bench with her back to me, holding her head in her hands. I could tell she knew I was there by the way her back straightened and her muscles tensed the moment she caught my scent.It still hurt that she had that reaction to me. “Are you done fucking my mate already?” She spit out bitterly. “Did you mark each other too?” “Of course I didn’t fuck him, Sarah.” I said gently, letting out a sigh as I went to sit beside her. “We just talked. And Zayne loves you. I don’t think he would even consider letting me mark him without talking to you first.” “But you would, wouldn’t you?” She accused. “Even if you knew it would devastate me, you would still mark him because you’re selfish!” “Sarah, I’m not going to tell you we won’t mark each other if

Sarah’s POV Finn left after our conversation, most likely to find Zayne to discuss their “We’re both Betas. Who’s leaving their pack to join the other?” issue. I should’ve been more irritated about not being included in that conversation. Apparently, since I had no rank in my pack, my opinion wasn’t important. As it was though, I was too busy berating myself for how vulnerable I’d been with Finnick, baring my soul to him. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I recalled what I’d admitted to him. I didn’t want to feel the sting of his betrayal anymore, or the self-doubt that accompanied it. It was bad enough that I couldn’t stop feeling that way. But now, he knew the power he still had over me. That thought was both depressing and humiliating. I should have known our bond wasn’t broken. I hadn’t lied that Zayne and I had been deliriously happy this past week. But even so, I still hadn’t been able to completely banish Finn from my mind. At the time, I’d blamed it on the fact that I had loved

*Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature. Zayne’s POV Finnick walked through the bedroom door without knocking, startling me out of my nervous pacing. “Where’s Sarah?” I asked, closing the distance between us. “I found her sitting in the rose garden. We talked but she wanted a few more minutes to herself.” He answered, stepping even closer to me. “I saw Kat heading her direction as I was leaving. Hopefully some time with her best friend will help.” “Hopefully.” I repeated, the word barely a whisper on my lips. My eyes were locked on Finn’s, ice meeting azure blue. The air around us crackled with desire. All at once, the tension was too thick and we both reached for each other, desperate to sate our need. Our bodies and mouths crashed together, then suddenly Finn was on top of me on the bed. His hand slid under my shirt at the same moment his tongue demanded entrance to my mouth. He tasted sweet like marshmallows, the perfect compliment to Sarah’s

Zayne’s POV “Hey man, what are you doing out here?” Reegan’s deep voice interrupted my thoughts as I followed Sarah’s scent through the garden. “And why do you smell weird?” “Huh?” I opted for playing dumb. I hadn’t been around the Alphas much since mating with Sarah, avoiding them to protect our secret. When I was with them, I tried to cover our scent with cologne. At the moment, I wasn’t sure if Reegan was smelling my new mated scent or if he could smell Finnick on me too. Maybe both. Either way, he and Ryan didn’t know I’d found my mate, or mates, as it were. But as we rounded the corner, Kat gave me a knowing look that said “the cat’s out of the bag now.” “What are you doing out here, baby girl?” Reegan asked Kat, both of us reaching the girls before he could push me to answer his question. “We woke up and you were gone. I got worried.” “I’m sorry I made you worry. I couldn’t sleep so I went for a walk. I didn’t want to wake you. The two of you were obviously tired, the wa

Sarah’s POV Muffled voices woke me from a perfectly peaceful sleep. Blinking my eyes against the sun streaming through the huge bay window, I pushed myself up on my elbows and scanned the room for the source of the offending noise. It sounded like Zayne was on the phone with someone, but why was he in the bathroom? “Please, just talk to her about it. I know it looked bad but you can’t stop fighting.” I heard Zayne tell someone before pausing to listen to their response. He must not have liked what they had to say because I could hear him huffing in aggravation. “Look, the alphas want to see us in their office in 15 minutes. Just meet us there and we can all talk afterwards. Please promise me that much.” His tone was pleading, followed by another tense silence. “Thank you!” Zayne blew out a relieved breath. “See you soon!” Footsteps neared the bathroom door once the conversation ended. I knew it was no use pretending to still be asleep. My heart rate would give me away. Instead,

Finnick’s POV “Finnick, wait!” I heard Zayne’s anxious voice call after me as I all but ran from the room. After hearing the news the Glass Lake Alphas just shared, I had to admit I was panicking. All I knew was I couldn’t sit around and wait for some unseen threat to come for us and destroy the people I loved, no matter how much one of them didn’t want me. I wasn’t the sit and wait kind of person. I had to act. “Protect mates!” My wolf barked in my head. “I know, Callum. That’s exactly what we’re going to do!” I growled back as I stomped down the hall. I was so lost in my thoughts that I hadn’t heard Zayne catch up to me. “Just stop and talk to me!” He persisted, grabbing my wrist to pull me back. In my frustration, I turned to snarl at him. “Don’t!” I thundered, lost to the tumult of my emotions. “I can’t stay here! This was never going to work and you know it. If I go, at least I can try to do something useful. See what I can find out about Dark Fae and how to fig

A Tangled Fate: Bound By Her Betas Epilogue
(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
A Tangled Fate: Bound By Her Betas Ch. 115 Aine's Gift
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
A Tangled Fate: Bound By Her Betas Ch. 114 Imprisoned
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
A Tangled Fate: Bound By Her Betas Ch. 113 Fae Magic
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 Tangled Fate: Bound By Her Betas Ch. 112 A Good Night Gone Wrong
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
A Tangled Fate: Bound By Her Betas Ch. 111 Goddess Trumps Luna
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
A Tangled Fate: Bound By Her Betas Ch. 110 Karaoke Lounge II
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
