Unknown POV

I wasn’t sure what territory I was in now. I had been driving for a few hours and finally decided to stop for the night. I pulled over in the parking lot of a fancy-looking restaurant, la Joliesse, and watched the patrons come and go for a while. I was hopeful one of them might be willing to share a small part of their wealth or at least offer me whatever uneaten part of their meal they were taking home.

I hated resorting to begging but I had no other way to survive until I found someplace to settle where my pack wouldn’t find me. Then I could get a job and pay to feed myself. But none of that would happen until I knew I was safe. In the meantime, if I had to beg, I might as well go for the good stuff.

“Mommy, I’m hungry.” my four-year-old son whined beside me.

“I know, baby. Mommy is going to get us some food very soon.” I promised, trying to sooth him.

It broke my heart to see him suffer and know I couldn’t provide for his needs. But I had no choice. I had to

    *Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature. Zayne’s POV I offered Sarah my hand to pull her out of the car. But as soon as she was on her feet, I tossed her over my shoulder and slapped her ass hard. She let out a squeal that morphed into a moan and the scent of her arousal hit me hard. “Zayne, put me down!” Sarah demanded, but there was no chance that was happening. “I don’t think so, princess! You were being naughty, teasing our mate in the car. And now, you’re going to face the consequences!” “Finn, baby, please tell him I was being good. I wasn’t teasing you, right?” She pleaded with him for rescue. For just a moment, I thought he might give in. It was the first time she’d used a term of endearment to address him and I could tell by his body language he was affected by it. But his lust for the game we were playing won out and he denied her request. “As much as I adore your innocent act, naughty kittens have to learn what happens when they tease th

    *Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature. Sarah’s POV “Please fuck me!” I begged when Finn asked if I deserved to get fucked. I had definitely learned my lesson. Don’t tease my two highly dominant mates unless I was prepared to pay the consequences! And I definitely hadn’t been prepared for that. My tits bounced with every breath as my chest heaved and my heart raced. Juices practically gushed from my pussy that was aching to be filled, preparing for my mates to take me. My body was burning with unsated need and I was sure I would burst into flame if one of them didn't touch me soon. Seeing Finn and Zayne touch each other, hearing their moans of pleasure for each other while they all but ignored my presence was torture. I was torn between being so fucking aroused by watching them and feeling so empty from their neglect, my emotions were all over the charts. My clit throbbed painfully, craving the touch they were denying me. All I could do was lay there a

    Zayne’s POV Sarah’s orgasm was so powerful, her walls constricted around my cock like a vice. It was bordering on painful and even as my erection started to fade, I still couldn’t pull out. Finn and I tried to help her relax But ultimately, her body was too exhausted and she passed out. “Fuck! Is she okay? Why does this keep happening when we take her together?” I asked Finn, panic rising in my chest. My heart was racing as I looked down on Sarah’s limp form. A layer of sweat coated her forehead and pieces of her hair were sticking to it but that probably had more to do with the vigorous sex than anything else. Her skin was flushed from our recent activities and her hair was a mess. She looked thoroughly fucked and stunning. She’s fine, baby.” Finn assured me. “We're just going to have to work on her stamina. Having two mates to keep up with is a lot for anybody.” “Callum and I can still talk to Sadie.” Triton added in my head. “She says her human is fine. Just recharging fo

    Finnick’s POV The morning had started off so perfectly! Waking up surrounded by the warmth of my mates never failed to leave me with a feeling of peace and contentment I’d never known before. Despite the uncertain future we were facing, I looked forward to every day I got to spend with Sarah and Zayne. I sat up gingerly, careful not to wake my mates. It was my favorite time of the morning on the days I had the time to linger and just watch them sleep. But unfortunately, that time was cut short when my Alpha’s voice entered my head. “Finnick, I need you in my office right now.” He barked in his usual gruff tone. “I’ll be right there. Is everything okay?” I asked, curious to know why he was calling me so early. “You’ll find out soon enough. Just get here, Beta!” He insisted, cutting the link. I quietly slipped out of bed, hoping to leave and get back before they woke, but Zayne must have heard me. I assured him I would meet them at breakfast and hurried out the door, having n

    *Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature. Finnick’s POV Zayne sat in the back seat with Sarah while I drove my Jeep as we headed back to RedWoods. I could feel his eyes on me through the rearview mirror, glancing my direction every few seconds. We may not be marked yet, but Zayne wore his emotions on his face like an open book. He knew I was upset about something and it was making him nervous. About an hour into the drive, Zayne finally started to relax. But by then Sarah was getting hangry so he had his hands full trying to placate her. “Pleeeease! Can we stop for food?” She whined. “I’m going to gnaw my own arm off soon.” “Finn, come on babe. Our girl needs to eat. Can we please stop?” He campaigned on her behalf. “Fine.” I relented. I had wanted to put a little more distance behind us before stopping but I needed to put my mate’s needs first. Surely Lauren got the message and wouldn’t try to look for us anyway. I was probably just overreacting but th

    Sarah’s POV As soon as we pulled into RedWoods territory, it was immediately evident something was happening. There was a line of cars leading up to the packhouse and as we turned into the lot for resident parking, I could see one of the warriors directing traffic. What’s going on? What did we miss?” I asked Zayne, who immediately mind-linked to find out. “Dillon said the Alphas are making an announcement to the pack tonight. He has no idea what it is but Luna Rachael decided to make an event out of it so it looks like we’re having a party!” He relayed his conversation. “Ooh! I better hurry inside and see if Kat needs any help!” I exclaimed excitedly. Even though I hadn’t been officially inducted yet, this would be my first event as the Beta Female. I wasn’t sure what that entailed but I knew I should help my Luna with whatever she needed. I was excited for my first official duty but my mates just groaned at me. “Kitten, I thought we were going to go to our room and pick u

    Sarah’s POV After our somber talk, Kat quickly changed the subject back to the party, seeming genuinely excited about the evening and the coming announcement. I helped her pick out a royal purple cocktail dress that highlighted the blue in her eyes. and she helped me choose a dress as well before the twins’ mom tracked her down and dragged her away for hair and make-up. I held up the deep plum one-shoulder bodycon dress Kat had chosen for me. It had cut-outs at the waist and an angled cut-out from the shoulder down across my cleavage. I hadn’t been sure about it but she said it looked good with my red hair and made my green eyes pop. Plus it was in the same color palette as hers which she said showed solidarity. And I liked that I could tease my mates by showing a little skin. It was getting late so I rushed back to Zayne’s room to get ready. I knew my guys had most likely been fucking each other while I was gone and I wasn’t sure how I would feel about it when I saw them but I w

    Sarah’s POV The next morning I woke with the sun, stretching my deliciously sore muscles. Finn and Zayne had been insatiable last night, taking me one at a time and together multiple times through the night. I wasn’t even sure what time we’d finally slept or for how long. I knew I would be exhausted later, but for now, I was too excited to sleep any longer. I tried to squeeze out from between my snoring mates but I was too tightly wedged in. They were in their favorite position, each with a leg and an arm thrown over me, tangled together with me pressed between them. They were both dead to the world so I was going to have to take drastic measures to get free. “I have to pee!” I shouted, garnering the desired reaction. Both of them jolted upright, looking around frantically, then relaxed when their eyes found me and saw that I was fine. “Fuck, kitten! You scared the shit out of me!” Finn growled gently. “My heart is in my throat!” Zayne grumbled. “Did you have to scream, princess

    (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

    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
