Reegan’s POV At the risk of sounding like a love-struck idiot, even just to myself, I had to say life just didn’t get any better than this. It was so surreal, lying here wrapped around my fucking gorgeous little mate. Every time she drifted off in my arms, granting me the privilege of holding her while she slept, it felt like a dream. I couldn’t wrap my head around it. It just couldn’t be real, because this much peace and contentment did not exist in my life. At least it hadn’t before her. I mean fuck, we hadn’t even fully mated yet and I truly did not care. The guy who only ever wanted one thing from a woman, the guy everyone called a man-whore, wanted nothing more than to hold this woman in my arms and know she belonged there. Hell, what we just did was way fucking hotter than any time I’d actually fucked a girl in the past. As much as I wanted to mate and mark her, in the sense that I wanted to officially make her mine forever, I wouldn’t rush her. Because when that time came,
Kat’s POV “We better not fucking lose this match!” I told Cara in my head. “Oh, don’t you worry girlfriend! We got this!” She assured me. Her confidence helped me relax a little. I really did not want to lose. Not only because I loved the idea of getting to torture the twins if I win, but that was definitely high on my list. More so, I was nervous about what would happen if I let them get their hands on me in the shower. It was getting harder and harder not to beg them to both fuck me senseless and I wasn’t sure I was quite ready for that. Not that I didn’t want to, because I most certainly did. I just suspected they would assume it meant I was accepting them and I wasn’t ready to have that conversation yet. Which brought me back to my original thought. We better not fucking lose! As we walked onto the training field, it was clear that word of my challenge to Ryan had spread. My stomach flipped at the realization that nearly the entire pack was here to watch. My heart rate sped
Kat’s POV “I’m so sorry!” I blurted out. “I swear I didn’t know.” Reegan sat down, crossing his arms and waiting expectantly for me to continue. Ryan sighed deeply, running his hands over his face before returning his gaze to me. “Didn’t know what, Angel?” He asked, his use of his pet name for me slightly decreasing my anxiety despite his hardened tone. “I didn’t know she would do that. I didn’t even know we could do that. I never would have agreed to it if I had. But she feels terrible! I just told her we had to win and some instinct took over. We talked and she knows now what a bad idea it was.” I poured out, well aware I was rambling. Reegan pulled me down into his lap, sliding his arms around my waist and holding me tightly. “Take a breath, baby girl,” he said. “By ’she’ I assume you mean your wolf. Tell us exactly what she did.” So I did. I recounted the whole story about how she had me give her control because she had a plan. I told them everything Cara had told me about
Jesse’s POV As soon as I heard her musical voice call out to her dad and smelled her scent wafting through the house, my whole body lit up like it was on fire. I had a fated mate. She shouldn’t still have this effect on me. But for some reason, despite my draw to Larissa and our bond, I just couldn’t stop the feelings that came flooding back every time I saw Kat Connor. For a long time, she had been my whole world and I still couldn’t shake this thought that someday, she might be again. The father-daughter bond she and Ian shared had always been special and I couldn’t stop myself from laughing at her antics as she threw herself into his lap like they’d been apart for years and not just a week. But I could not have prepared myself for the way my breath would be sucked from my lungs when she turned to look at me. She was as stunning as ever, a fucking goddess! But then she addressed me by my title and apologized for interrupting me in her own home. It crushed me to know she no longer
Ian’s POV I was so excited to see my daughter! It had only been a week but I missed her terribly, m’inion alainn. I would never tell her that, though. She was exactly where she needed to be and if she thought for one second I was unhappy, she would run home for good. I couldn’t allow that. She wasn’t responsible for my happiness. I would learn to adjust to an empty house. Besides, I could always visit Glass Lake. A knock on the door had me leaping out of my seat to answer it, thinking Kat had come a bit early to surprise me. I should have known better. If it had been her, she would have walked right in without knocking. The person behind the door did surprise me though. “Hello, Alpha! To what do I owe this honor?” I greeted him jovially. “Hi Ian. Sorry to drop by unannounced. I was hoping you had a few minutes to talk,” he replied. “Of course! I always have time for you!” I told him honestly. Despite his history with Kat, we had maintained a good relationship. I hated that
Ryan’s POV As soon as the front door opened and my Angel’s mouthwatering scent reached me, I was on my feet to go to her. When I heard what Alpha Klein said to her earlier, aside from wanting to murder the fucker, I had ached to pull her into my arms and comfort her. When she turned to face us after his insult, she held a placid expression on her face but I could see the pain in her beautiful blue eyes and it nearly broke me. My heart told me to reach for her but my head told me she wouldn’t want that. She was trying so hard to appear strong and I needed to let her walk out with her head held high. But now, I wanted her to know she never had to pretend for us. She could always express her true feelings to us and we would never see her as weak. “I missed you so much, Angel!” I growled playfully as my brother and I both tackled her in a hug. She giggled and the sound made my heart actually do a little flip. Reegan was busy burying his nose in her hair, inhaling her scent like he was
Ryan’s POV Soon it was time to head home. Ian went to pack an overnight bag, while Reegan and I went to wake Kat. He wanted to see the room where I first laid eyes on our mate. I remembered exactly where her room was but even if I hadn’t, her scent would have drawn me to her. I cracked her bedroom door open to peek my head in, wanting to watch her sleep for a moment before waking her. And just like the first time, her scent hit me and nearly knocked me off my feet. Before I could even react to it, my twin was shoving past me into the room. He stopped short when his eyes landed on her, sleeping peacefully with her full, pink lips parted slightly and her long eyelashes fluttering on her cheeks. I had to hold my wolf back from pouncing on her and I could see Reegan was fighting his wolf as well. “Every time I see her I feel like I’m in a fucking dream.” Reegan confessed in my head. Never one to talk about his feelings openly, just the fact that he said those words spoke volumes about
Reegan’s POV This was pure torture! What the fuck was happening to me? Somewhere in the span of the last two weeks, I had gone from the guy who could never stomach the idea of actually spending the entire night in the same bed with a she-wolf to this guy, the one who now apparently can’t sleep at all without a she-wolf lying next to me. Well, one she-wolf in particular. I used to sleep like a baby, in my own room, in my own bed, alone. Every night! Even after a hook-up, I always came home alone. It was a personal rule. Looks like I should've kept my mouth shut instead of teasing Kat about karma being a bitch. Truer words were never spoken and they have come back to bite me in the ass. Because now, I would give anything not to be in this bed alone. I need my baby girl in my arms, her scent enveloping me and the feel of her soft skin touching mine. I have tried everything I can think of to get to sleep. I even tried to read. An actual book! Even if I had found it interesting, my wo
