Cara AndersonI apologize for the snafu with Ch. 94. I got ahead of myself. I have corrected the problem and contacted my editor to release the correct version so it should be uploaded correctly very shortly. Here is Ch. 95 in the correct order.

Zayne’s POV Sarah tossed and turned in my arms, murmuring Finn’s name and weeping even in her unconscious state. It gutted me to see her in so much pain and know there was nothing I could do to make it better. I just held her tighter and poured my love into her through our bond, hoping it would help to mend some part of her broken heart. My own chest still ached, suffering from the remnants of the earlier assault. There was no denying Finn had kissed Lauren and from the degree of pain Sarah and I experienced, it had to have been a heated kiss or maybe even more. Every cell in my body revolted at the thought but I knew it was true. What I didn’t know was why he would do it. Sarah had already decided that it meant he was choosing Lauren, believing what the text said without question. Given their past, I knew it would be difficult to convince her otherwise. She had even told him that if he were to cheat again, it would be over between them. And that was exactly the conclusion she’d dr
A Tangled Fate: Bound By Her Betas Ch. 97 Puzzle Pieces
Finn’s POV Nothing was making sense. I would rather die than cause my mates even the slightest pain. There was no way I would betray our bond, knowing they would suffer for it. I wouldn’t do it because I had no desire to be with anyone but them. But even if I had decided to let them go, I would never get physical with someone else until our bond was formally broken so they would not be able to feel it. Anything else would just be cruel. When Zayne told me he and Sarah both felt the pain of me kissing Lauren, I knew he wasn’t lying. The anger and hurt in his voice was all too real. Still, I couldn’t put the puzzle together. There was a piece missing and I just couldn’t seem to figure out what it was. Callum snarled in my head, furious at the physical and mental torment our mates had experienced. But I could also feel his confusion. He wanted to blame me, but he had no memory of my wrongdoing either. Reegan’s suggestion that Lauren might be dosing me with something seemed so outla
A Tangled Fate: Bound By Her Betas Ch. 98 A Visit
Sarah’s POV “I trust my mates. I trust my mates. I trust my mates.” I chanted to myself like a sacred mantra. I wanted those words to be true so badly! I knew I should trust them unconditionally. Still, I was struggling. The tiny voice I thought I’d buried deep inside was rearing its ugly head again. It was the voice that said I wasn’t enough, rooted in the small sliver of pain remaining from Finn’s betrayal. It said I would be a fool to believe Finn’s story. Lauren was a beautiful she-wolf and Mason’s mother. Why wouldn’t he choose her over me? “Zayne believes him!” My wolf interjected, believing in his judgment one hundred percent. “Of course he does, Sadie. Zayne believes the best of everybody.” I countered. “Sometimes I worry he trusts a little too easily.” “Well I believe Finn and Callum.” She huffed, stomping away. “Me too, I think.” I muttered under my breath to no one but myself. Two strong arms snaked around my waist, pulling me back against a hard, muscular ch
A Tangled Fate: Bound By Her Betas Ch. 99 The Rescue
Zayne’s POV “Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!” I cursed to myself when the plane touched down, bouncing a couple times before finally landing with a hard thud. Now Sarah was awake and asking questions as usual. I was hoping we could land, do what we came here to do, then take off again without her ever waking up. Now, there was no way she’d let me leave her behind. “Zayne, where are we? What are we doing here?” Sarah repeated her question impatiently. “Princess,” I cooed to her in a hushed tone, “why don’t you go back to sleep? The Alphas and I just have a small business matter to attend to and we’ll be right back. You can stay here and I’ll be back so soon you won’t even have time to miss me.” “What business? What’s going on? Why won’t you just tell me where we are?” Sarah crossed her arms over her chest and fixed me with a stern glare that said she would not let it drop until she had an answer that satisfied her. “We’re just outside of Sacred Moon packlands.” I told her, sighing in defea

Zayne’s POV “Don’t even fucking think about touching her.” Finn roared at the unmated males in the front seat. Despite using his Beta command, the pull of Sarah’s heat was too strong. I knew only an Alpha command would keep them from trying to get to her. Thankfully, the warrior driving the car was fighting hard to keep his eyes on the road but the passenger kept looking at her in the rearview mirror, waiting for his chance to pounce. “Command the warriors to pull over. Sarah’s in heat and my command won’t hold them for long.” I linked the Alphas without any preamble. “Pull over now!” Ryan blared through the link while I listened in. The driver immediately let off the gas and brought the SUV to a stop on the side of the road. Finn stayed with Sarah while I yanked the warrior from the passenger seat. Reegan was already removing the driver, replacing him with a mated warrior. Once both men were safely inside the other vehicle, I scooped Mason up and delivered him to his mother.

(Mature Content) Sarah’s POV “Did you hear me?” Apparently my request had left both my mates speechless. “I said I want you to mark me!” “But, are you sure?” Finn asked doubtfully. “We haven’t even had a chance to talk about what happened while we were apart and I don’t want you to regret it later. Are you sure it’s not just your heat talking?” “I am one hundred percent sure!” I insisted. “I know we have things to talk about and we will. But none of it will change my mind about wanting to belong to you forever. I know what I want, Finn! So unless you’ve decided you no longer want me, don’t make me wait any longer!” Finn yanked me into him, one hand splayed on my back and the other tangled in my hair while he attacked my lips in a fiery kiss. I was straddling him, my pussy sliding along his fat cock made slick from the juices dripping from my core. He thrust against me, forcing a wanton moan from me as his tongue dominated mine. He didn’t need words to tell me his answer. His bo
A Tangled Fate: Bound By Her Betas Ch. 102 The Final Piece
(Mature Content) Finn’s POV Exhausted. There was no other word to describe how I felt at the moment. Well that wasn’t entirely true. Sated, joyful, full of peace and contentment I’d never known before. But mostly exhausted. How did a single wolf ever survive his mate’s heat alone? Sarah was insatiable. For three days and three nights all we did was fuck. If it hadn’t been for Zayne and Triton taking over so we could sleep, Callum and I would have died from sleep deprivation and dehydration. With our mate’s heat so intense, Zayne and I hadn’t even had a spare moment to make love to each other. Well, except for the one time. Tingles of pleasure rippled through me as I recalled that moment I would never forget as long as I lived. After marking Sarah, I thought she would have passed out from the fatigue but she didn’t. She’d gone limp in my arms as Zayne held us both from behind me, but just as I was about to lay her down, another wave hit her and she cried out in pain. Her arousal
A Tangled Fate: Bound By Her Betas Ch. 103 Initiation
Zayne’s POV After finally marking each other during Sarah’s heat, all the pieces of our lives seemed to naturally fall into place. We emerged three days later, exhausted and sore, but totally at peace and more in love with each other than ever. That was nearly two months ago. Though we enjoyed that time together in our little cocoon, once it was over none of us could wait to go find our son and bring him home with us. But before that could happen, we had to have a long talk about whether or not to tell him Finn wasn’t his real father. Ultimately we all agreed that it would serve no purpose. We had no intention of treating him any differently and he was too young to understand biology. Maybe when he was older we would tell him the truth. The only thing that hadn’t changed was Finn’s undying hatred for Mason’s mother. He was still so angry, he refused to even say her name or tolerate her presence, leaving Sarah or I with pick-up or drop-off duty. He said if he had to see her, he woul

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
