Sneak peek: “Mate!” My wolf howled. “She’s ours!” “What are you talking about, Callum? She can’t be ours, not yet.” My wolf whimpered and whined in my head, begging me to go to our mate. I felt his pain but I knew I couldn’t give him what he wanted. So I did the only thing I could do. I ran.

Katalina's POV Twenty-three hours. That’s how long I’d just spent assisting with the labor and delivery of the pack’s newest twins. I’d trained under Dr. Ruben to become the pack midwife for the past three years so I was more than prepared to handle any unforeseen issues. But other than a long labor and the added effort of pushing out more than one baby, everything went smoothly. I should be exhausted after the all-nighter with no sleep. I’m sure the bone-deep fatigue would hit me as soon as I got anywhere near my bed but right now, I just felt energized. My wolf, Cara, was buzzing with excitement in my head, making me restless. I was going to take advantage of the endorphin-high to walk home and stretch my legs. “Cara, what is up with you today?” I asked my overly energetic wolf. “I know you love meeting new pups, but you’ve been up all night too. You should be exhausted by now.” “I don’t know. I can’t explain it.” She hummed in my head. “I just feel like something exciting is goi

Katalina's POV If losing my mom and witnessing my dad’s suffering wasn’t enough to make me swear off ever accepting a mate bond, my relationship with Jesse Klein put the nail in that proverbial coffin. Jesse, or Alpha Klein these days, was just what I needed right when I needed him. His dad was the Alpha and my dad was his Beta so we grew up together since the time we were infants. Gamma Thorn’s kids, Tyler and Larissa, as well as Sarah Woods, the Head Omega’s daughter, rounded out our inseparable little band of troublemakers. On any given day, we could all be found tearing through the pack house together playing tag or hide and seek, creating havoc in the kitchen while making cookies with Sarah’s mom, or engaging in some other mischievous activity. Jesse, Tyler, Sarah and I were the same age and we all just clicked from day one. Larissa was a couple years younger but she could always be found tagging along with her older brother. We were all best friends. Then as our sixteenth bir

Ryan's POV Today would be one of the most exciting days of my Alpha career. I was about to wrap up a months-long negotiation by finalizing an alliance with one of our neighbor packs, RedWoods. In the four years since I took over as Alpha of Glass Lake (a title I share with my identical twin brother, Reegan), we’ve successfully negotiated several alliances but this was my first solo endeavor. As the twin with the patient, calm, strategic-minded personality (compared to Reegan’s hot-headed, verbally explosive one), I was the obvious choice to take the lead when tenuous negotiations were required. “We are the strongest pack in the US with the largest territory and the most skilled warriors. These other packs have nothing to offer us. They just want to take what we have and you know I don’t have the patience for that bullshit.” Reegan had pushed back when I suggested we co-lead the treaty talks. He had a point. He was not known for being patient, or subtle. “But this is a chance to s
Last Updated : 2022-12-12An Unwanted Fate Ch. 4 Mate!
Ryan's POV As I pulled into the drive of the RedWoods Beta’s house, I wondered about the man I would be meeting with. Ian Connor and my dad had been best friends for most of their lives. Despite belonging to separate packs, they had attended the same private school growing up. As a future Alpha and Beta they immediately clicked, bonding over the responsibilities of their ranks as well as their shared Irish heritage. Fortunately for them, our pack territories bordered each other so they were able to stay in touch over the years. Our families never spent much time together but Ian would come by the pack house to see dad fairly often. As a kid, I found him a little scary. He was a huge guy and always wore a serious expression. I remembered thinking he could easily crush me with one hand. He was a man of few words but when he did talk to Reegan or me, he was friendly enough. I was sad to hear his wife passed away a few years ago now. One day my dad seemed really down. When I asked him
Last Updated : 2022-12-12An Unwanted Fate Ch. 5 Too Complicated
Ryan's POV A few hours had passed since my conversation with Katalina’s father (or Kat as I had come to realize was the nickname everyone called her). I was currently pacing back and forth through the Connors’ backyard, wearing a path through a patch of wildflowers right on the forest’s edge. After listening to everything Ian had to say, my head was spinning and I felt like the walls were closing in on me. I had to get some air. That was nearly two hours ago and I still hadn’t been able to sort through the chaos in my brain. Teague wasn’t helping matters. He felt a connection to Kat’s wolf and had no doubt that she would want him. All he cared about was getting to her. I, on the other hand, had to consider the human side of things. And I had come to learn that it was infinitely more complicated than I could have imagined. Ian handed me a glass of whiskey and sat in the chair directly across from me. He opened his mouth to speak then suddenly stopped, a horrified look s
Last Updated : 2022-12-12An Unwanted Fate Ch. 6 I Can't
Kat's POV My alarm woke me all too soon. I groaned as I dragged myself out of bed, wishing I could sleep a few more hours. But I couldn’t complain too much. I had two adorable little babies to go see. I really did have the best job! I had given myself plenty of time to get ready so I took my time stretching my stiff muscles and running my fingers through my tangled mess of hair, yawning lazily. As my brain started to catch up to my wakeful state, I noticed a scent I didn’t recognize. It was faint but the smell of vanilla and fresh pine was unmistakable. Weird! Maybe dad was trying out a new cologne. I pushed that thought aside and decided I would take the time to make my bed for once before getting dressed for work. I was too lazy to walk all the way around to the other side of the bed so I stretched across it, practically lying flat on my stomach to pull the quilt up. That’s the position I was in, my half-naked ass bent over the bed, when I heard my door being flung open. My still
Last Updated : 2022-12-12An Unwanted Fate Ch. 7 A Plan
Ian's POV “Dammit!” I barked out loud, even though I hadn’t meant to. I’d just watched my daughter run out of the house, away from her mate, and it broke my heart. To be honest, it wasn’t entirely unexpected. Katalina, while being everything I could ever want in a daughter- kind, compassionate, empathetic, intelligent, insightful, and selfless- was also headstrong and unbending when she set her mind to something. Just like her mother! We had never had an explicit conversation about it, but I still knew how she felt about the mate bond. I read it in her body language and heard it in the comments she would make about her friends or patients finding their mates. She’d say things like, “Sarah keeps telling me she wishes she would meet her mate but I can’t help but think how lucky she is that it hasn’t happened yet.” or “So and so just found her mate and keeps saying she’s never been happier. If you ask me, that’s just another broken heart waiting to happen.” It saddened me to think t

An Unwanted Fate Bonus Chapter: Jesse
Jesse's POV I’d been locked in this room all night without seeing another soul. I assumed the Glass Lake Alphas knew I was here and why. Their Beta would have told them by now. I’d fully expected them to come storming in here last night, fuming over what I’d done, or tried to do, to their Luna. I would have gotten some small satisfaction from it if they had, knowing I’d at least ruined their perfect night. But they never came. It could have been worse. I could tell this was a room for prisoners by the stark, slate-gray concrete of the walls and lack of amenities. But it wasn’t the dank, rancid-smelling lower cells reserved for the vilest offenders. Perks of being a fellow Alpha I guessed. Still, I didn’t want to spend any more time here than absolutely necessary. The room had no windows so I had no way of knowing what time it was when I finally heard two sets of footsteps approaching in the hall. Despite my wolf, Ares, whimpering in my head, I puffed out my chest and squared my sh
An Unwanted Fate Bonus Chapter: Jenna
Jenna's POV “Aaaaaahhhh!” I screamed as I angrily stomped back and forth in my tiny cell. Not that I could go very far in either direction. And not that anyone could hear me scream. I knew there was a guard down here somewhere. I could smell him. But he never came close enough for me to see him. If I could just get him to come closer, I was sure I could manipulate him to help me out of here eventually. But no. I was only given food and water once a day and even then, it was one of the nasty old she-wolves from the kitchen who brought it to me. After Reegan had brought that bitch down here to see me, one of the warriors must have come to increase the length on my chains. I was unconscious at the time from . . . well I wasn’t exactly sure what she’d done to me. All I could remember was being slammed into the wall by something powerful I couldn’t see. At least I wasn’t hanging from the ceiling anymore but it was a small victory. When I’d asked why I was being offered such civility
An Unwanted Fate Bonus Chapter: Damien and Trista
Damien’s POV I was sitting at my desk, absently bouncing a rubber ball against my closed office door. Throw, bounce, catch, repeat. It was all I was good for today. That and getting lost in my thoughts of her. Tossed aside on the corner of my desk, taunting me with its presence, was the invitation to the mating ceremony for Kat and her Glass Lake Alphas. It had arrived today and I had been totally blindsided by it. I shouldn’t have been. I knew it was coming. I just hadn’t expected it to be so soon. I’d ignorantly thought I’d have at least a month or more to adjust to the idea. “It hasn’t even been a week, for Goddess’ sake!” I complained out loud to my empty office. “Boss, the transfer from Snowy Mountain is at the gate. I’m going to meet her now. I’ll bring her by your office for an introduction before I give her an official tour. If she’s hot, it might be an extended tour.” My Gamma, Eric, chuckled in my head. “Sure, whatever.” I responded unenthusiastically. I’d been s
An Unwanted Fate Bonus Chapter: Ian and Isabella
Ian’s POV I looked down at the beautiful she-wolf in my arms as we danced together at Kat’s mating ceremony reception. I inhaled her mouthwatering strawberry scent and drank in her beauty. Her silky auburn hair that flowed in soft waves down her back, shining like the embers of a fire. Her eyes that sparkled like emeralds and danced with happiness when they looked at me. I enjoyed the feel of her lush curves as she pressed her body tight against me, the soft swell of her breasts against my chest and the flare of her hips where my hands fit so perfectly. I itched to lower them and feel the flesh of her perfect ass in my hands, but I forced myself to behave. There would be time for that later. Resting my cheek on her head, I chuckled to myself as I thought back to how nervous I’d been during those first weeks as we both learned to navigate our new relationship. All I’d ever known of women was Elena, Katalina’s mother and my first mate. But I never wanted Isabella to feel like she
An Unwanted Fate Epilogue Part 3
*Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature. Kat's POV I vaguely wondered how I ended up here, sandwiched between my two sexy mates, their hands roaming my body and muddling my mind. All I had wanted to do was lay by the pool, read a book, and relax but now all I could think about was the need to feel them touching me and kissing me, to have them both buried inside me. It was all-consuming, pushing every other thought aside. Reegan was lavishing my tits with attention, sucking at my hardened nipples like a starving man. He had one muscular thigh between my legs, pressed against my core and I couldn’t stop myself from grinding against him. The dampness between my legs was quickly soaking through my bikini bottoms, running down my thighs and soaking his leg. When Ryan stepped up behind me and sucked on his mark, my knees went weak. He slipped his arms around my waist, holding me up as his brother released my nipple with a tug of his teeth and stood up to capt
An Unwanted Fate Epilogue Part 2
Reegan's POV I was totally in the zone, killing my workout, when all of a sudden I felt my wolf get anxious. He was pacing around in my head, all amped up. “Rikkon, what’s up man?” I ask, starting to get anxious myself. “Something’s wrong with mate! She’s upset! We need to go check on her now!” he whined back at me. He didn’t need to tell me twice! Since marking Kat, our wolves were so in tune to each other, it was like some of her Celtic wolf’s intuition was shared with us through the bond. If Rikkon felt something was wrong, then something was wrong. I was already moving towards the door. Not wanting to wait on the elevator, I took the stairs at wolf speed. In less than a minute I was flying through the door of our hotel room, slamming it against the wall as I flung it open. “What the fuck is going on in here?” I yelled as my eyes frantically searched the room for my baby girl. My wolf led me straight to her wolf so I knew she was here somewhere but I didn't see her. Tha
An Unwanted Fate Epilogue Part 1
Ryan’s POV “I’m gonna head to the gym, get in a work-out before we take our girl out tonight. Wanna join?” Reegan asked. We were walking back from the hotel restaurant after enjoying breakfast with our mate. It had been several weeks since our mating ceremony and we were finally taking a much needed trip alone together. We would've liked to go sooner, but with the impending threat of the Dark Fae, and so much unknown about them, we couldn’t leave our pack unprotected. It had taken a while to mobilize our allies to send some of their warriors to reinforce our security. We’d decided to honeymoon at a five-star luxury resort on a tropical island and had just arrived yesterday afternoon. My brother and I had considered so many options when deciding to surprise Kat with this trip but with all the stress of the last few months and the uncertainty of the future, we settled on a place we could truly relax and unwind, just enjoying each other’s company. “You should go!” Kat offered. “I’
An Unwanted Fate Ch. 163 My Forever
*Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature. Kat’s POV For a moment, I lost myself in the beautiful seafoam green eyes staring deep into my soul when suddenly, I was pulled to my knees. Ryan reached out, grasping the low-cut V of my dress and ripped it right down the middle, leaving me completely bare to their view. “Fuck! I loved that dress on her.” Reegan cursed. “We’ll buy her a new one.” Ryan dismissed him. “It was in my way.” Then, coming along either side of me, they both helped to lay me gently on my back. I watched, practically drooling, as they stepped back and slowly discarded their own clothes, piece by agonizing piece. They were moving lazily, like they were completely unaware of the aching need I had for them to touch me. “Relax, Angel. We’re going to take care of you.” Ryan’s voice was full of erotic promises. Reegan tucked his arms under me and rolled me to my stomach. I could feel their heated gazes burning into me and I heard what sounde
