Looks like Kat has another fan! Thanks for reading!
Ian’s POV In a matter of minutes, I’d gone from begging the Moon Goddess to return my daughter to me safely to wanting to strangle her myself. I knew she was hurting. I’d talked to her mates multiple times a day since the day she’d left them, so I was well aware of the misapprehension she was operating under. And I knew her well enough to know what it must be doing to her, thinking the very pain she’d tried to avoid came for her anyway. Still, how could she be so selfish to let me worry about her that way? I knew the answer to that. She didn’t trust that I wouldn’t tell her mates. And if I was being honest, she might have been right to worry. I was still debating with myself whether or not to call them. With every conversation we’d had this past week, I could tell their thin grasp on sanity was unraveling. Knowing all too well what it felt like to lose a mate, I hated to let them suffer when I could ease it for them. In the end, I settled for a compromise. Kat only said I could
Kat’s POV I wandered the streets of the little town comprising Forest Trails’ city center with no real destination in mind. Planning ahead wasn’t really an option given the circumstances. One minute I was rushing from my room, excited to see my dad and the next minute I was frozen in place, watching him pull my aunt into his arms and claim her as his mate. So now, I was wandering the streets in unfamiliar territory, trying to sort out my feelings. The possibility that my dad would find a second chance mate had never really crossed my mind. It wasn’t something we’d ever talked about and I’d foolishly assumed he’d be content to cherish my mother’s memory alone for the rest of his life. Considering how long a wolf’s life could be, that had been rather short-sighted of me. Now that the unexpected had become reality, and with my mother’s sister no less, I was not at all sure how to feel about it. I hadn’t left because I was angry, though maybe it had seemed that way. I had left because
Kat’s POV I made the short walk back to the little cottage and walked right in, only to wish I could turn around and walk right back out. The first thing I saw when I walked in the door was my father and my aunt making out on the couch. He was practically laying on top of her, kissing her passionately while caressing her breast and she squeezed his ass. They immediately separated as soon as they heard me walk in but the damage was done. I could never erase that image from my brain. “Oh Goddess! Sorry! I’ll just head to my room. Carry on!” I babbled, trying to escape the room and the embarrassment hanging between us. “No mija! Stay and talk to your father. I’ll go.” Aunt Isa insisted, but the pained look on her face told me she believed I wouldn’t accept her, accept the bond between them. “I only meant to give you some privacy. If you truly want to talk now, I’d prefer it if you stayed.” I said, offering her a small half-smile. She beamed at me in return. “Ok.” She murmured,
Ryan’s POV I sat in my office staring at the wall, unable to do anything remotely productive. A full month had gone by since I last saw her. I couldn’t believe it had been a month since I’d held my angel in my arms, nuzzled my nose in her silky blond curls and inhaled her amazing scent. A whole month since I’d made love to her, burying myself deep inside her while watching her come apart screaming my name. I groaned aloud at that thought. The first couple of weeks after she left, I refused to wallow in self-pity, choosing instead to throw myself into finding her by any means necessary. I was an Alpha, always focused on fixing any problem and I was determined to approach this the same way. But the more time that passed with no leads, the more overwhelming the pain became until it completely consumed me. Maybe she’d already moved on. Maybe she never really loved us, loved me, in the first place. Neither my brother or I had gotten a decent night’s sleep without her warm, soft ski
Reegan’s POV I was currently laying on the floor of Kat’s closet, snuggling into her pillow and surrounded by the scent from her clothes. It had become my go-to spot for those times when my need for her became so desperate that I had to close my eyes, breathe in her intoxicating smell and pretend she was standing next to me. Delusional, I know. But it was the only thing preserving the tenuous thread to my sanity. Admittedly, I’d made some pretty poor choices in my life followed by some extreme periods of self-loathing because of them. However, I’d never lost the will to live until I’d given my whole heart and soul to my mate only to have her leave me due to my own failure to protect her from my past. Now, the only thing keeping me going was the slim hope that I could still fix this. If she never took me back, it would kill me. But, I couldn’t walk away without doing everything in my power to make her understand that she was loved and wanted beyond words and she never deserved to b
Kat’s POV Curious eyes watched me from deep in the forest as my aunt’s wolf put Cara and I through our paces. I couldn’t see them but I knew they were there all the same. Whether in human or wolf form, the pulses of energy leaving us as we practiced our new abilities wasn’t likely to go unnoticed for long. Eventually, Aunt Isa had agreed it was best to tell her Alpha about my special skills in hopes he would help keep the audience to a minimum while we worked. It was a risk, but we both felt we could trust him with the information. He readily agreed to keep our secret and I knew those watching were only his most trusted warriors. “Again!” Aislinn, my aunt’s wolf barked in my head as I repeatedly set a pile of brush on fire then drew water from the earth to put it out. I could train in either form, but my aunt found it easiest to retrieve the knowledge hidden somewhere deep inside her for years when she transformed into her wolf. Though she could connect to it somewhat in human f
Kat’s POV Piercing green eyes met me as soon as I walked in the door, looking at me with the same adoration they used to hold when we were together. I stopped just inside the room, intent on keeping some distance between us. I couldn’t begin to fathom why he would be here but it couldn’t be good. “Alpha Klein, how-? What-? Why-?” My wolf rolled her eyes at my lack of eloquence as I tried and failed to ask all my questions at once. Jesse looked like he wanted to laugh but restrained himself. “Really Kat? We know each other way too intimately for formal titles, don’t you think?” He said with an annoying smirk. “I think your Luna would probably disagree.” I stated flatly. I thought I saw guilt flash in his eyes but it was gone before I could be certain. “How did you find me?” “Tyler mentioned it in passing. Don’t be mad at him!” He interjected when I opened my mouth to express my displeasure. “I don’t think he even realized he said it and he has no idea I’m here." “Why are you
Damien’s POV I knew I shouldn’t eavesdrop. I was an Alpha for Goddess’ sake! I should be above such things. But somehow, I couldn’t help myself and my feet led me into the hall outside the lounge of their own accord. Even my wolf was condoning my actions, feeling suspicious of this Alpha’s intentions. When Jesse Klein had shown up at my border asking to meet with me, I could hardly decline the visit. To turn him away without good reason could be seen as an act of enmity which was the last thing I needed. Besides, he’d arrived alone and I had no reason to believe he had any nefarious intent. I couldn’t recall immediately what pack he ran but when he mentioned RedWoods, I immediately recognized it as Kat’s home pack. Why would her Alpha show up here out of the blue? That instantly had my hackles up. Over the past two months, my wolf and I had become very possessive of Katalina Connor. We’d come to think of her as ours even though we knew we weren’t fated. That hardly mattered th
Thank you so much to all mu lovely readers for sticking with "An Unwanted Fate" until the end. I hope you enjoyed the ride as much as I did while writing it! I hope to start publishing Book 2 in the Celtic Wolf serie:: "A Tangled Fate: Bound By Her Betas" within the next week. 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. When Finnick Cross recognizes his mate in 16-year-old Sarah Woods, he is ecstatic to find the girl he loves belongs to him. There is only one problem. She’s too young to recognize him as her mate. Afraid he won’t be able to restrain his wolf from claiming their underage mate, Finnick decides to leave, intending to return and claim her as his on her 18th birthday. But when an unplanned encounter derails his plans, wil
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
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
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
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
*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
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
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’
*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
