Reegan seems like he's all in. Will it last? Thanks for Reeading!
Kat's POV I would do anything for my father, anything to make him happy and give him whatever peace he could find in life. That included leaving my home and coming here to stay with a mate who was a stranger to me and whom I had no intention of accepting. All because he asked me to. But I did not sign up for this! It was bad enough that I let my guard down on the walk home this afternoon. I ended up telling him about some of our family history, which I’m sure sent the wrong message. Why would two people with no future together need to know that about each other? Then to make matters worse, I even flirted with him a little, bantering about his growling at Tyler and flashing him a cheeky smile. What was wrong with me? By the time I finished packing, I had renewed my resolve to keep a safe emotional distance between us. I had meant to keep my walls up on the ride over but I found myself wanting to talk to him. I even let him hold my hand for Goddess’ sake! I knew I should pull away
Kat's POV “MINE!” he growled in my ear as he buried his nose in my hair, inhaling deeply. Time seemed to stand still as I tried desperately to gather my wits. He seemed in no hurry to let me go and I couldn’t find my voice to ask him to. So, I just let him hold me there while I enjoyed the feel of his hard body pressed against me. He felt so good! Too good! When I noticed a certain other part of his body was also hard and pressing against my core, I knew I had to get away from him. Before I could figure out how to wriggle away, Ryan spoke up. “I think what you meant to say was “ours” right brother?” he asked from his spot in the doorway. That seemed to break the spell as the twin whose name I still didn’t know gently set me on my feet and stepped back a fraction of an inch, still not taking his eyes off me. So many thoughts were going through my head. What was this one’s name? And why did they both think I belonged to them? Why hadn’t Ryan told me he was a twin? And why wasn’t I
Ryan's POV Awe-struck! That was the only way to describe what I was feeling as Reegan and I walked hand in hand with our Luna toward the pack dining room. My wolf and I were completely enthralled with her. Not only was she the most beautiful woman we’d ever seen, but she had a grace about her that was difficult to describe in words. The pain of her past could have completely broken her spirit. Yet, she exuded strength and confidence, unafraid to speak her mind. On the ride to Glass Lake, she openly shared her wariness of our bond but she also spoke with patience, questioned with true curiosity, and listened intently to me when I spoke. When Reegan showed up without warning, she was understandably angry at being ambushed and did not hesitate to express that anger. Still, she never acted irrationally out of anger, easily able to admit her own mistake for the misplaced blame she attributed to Reegan. Very few people would have behaved the same in her shoes. I was truly in awe of her!
Reegan's POV My head was a jumbled mess. I couldn’t keep my thoughts straight and I was finding it hard to focus on the present. I kept getting lost in the memory of the moment I first saw her. Meeting my, well our, mate always seemed like a remote possibility so I never put much thought into what she might be like. Even if I had, I would never have imagined the little she-wolf standing in front of me! It’s like the Moon Goddess took all of my favorite things and put them together in this one woman. “Fuck, you smell good baby girl! I could literally drown in your scent!” I told her, nuzzling into her long, shiny blond hair to inhale her sweet but floral fragrance. “And these silky curls! I can’t wait to run my hands through them!” She was looking up at me with her entrancing blue doe-eyes,I could see the strength that hid right behind her innocent exterior. So, I decided to push my luck a little. “I can’t wait to get my hands on these luscious curves.” I admitted, running my hands
Reegan's POV “Hey good-looking! Where’ve you been lately?” Jenna asked, placing her hands on my chest and leaning in to kiss me. I quickly caught her by the shoulders and set her back at arm’s length. “Really Reegan? Jenna Wright! Are you fucking kidding me?” Ryan snarled in my head. “I know ok. I really fucked up! But you’re not helping right now!” I shot back. I could see Kat shudder out of the corner of my eye when Jenna touched me. Whether from jealousy or just being uncomfortable witnessing our interaction I couldn’t say. It was probably too much to hope for the former. Ryan pulled her in closer to his side like he was trying to shield her and she dropped the hand I had been holding. If Jenna noticed our connection, she gave no indication. “Baby, is that any way to treat your future Luna?” Jenna whined. “What the fuck are you talking about Jenna? I barely remember spending time with you. I certainly never gave you any reason to believe you would ever be Luna!” I snapped at
Ryan's POV My mind was a jumble of emotions and I could swear they were not all mine. When Jenna walked up to Reegan I could tell by the look in her eyes it would not end well. There was no mistaking her intent. She had given herself to Reegan and she expected that to mean something to him. He hadn’t told me he slept with her but I wasn’t stupid. I knew my brother well enough to realize what was about to happen and why. I immediately started to panic! It was way too soon for Kat to have to face one of Reegan’s many exes, if you could even call them that. He never spent more than one night with any of them. That hardly constituted a relationship. It didn’t take Kat long to pick up on that fact either. She was already wary of the mate bond. Then she was blindsided with the news that she had two mates. Now this. It was too much too soon. Panic wasn’t all I felt. The entire time Kat was unloading on Reegan, I was rooted to the spot, unable to move or speak. Just watching it unfold l
Ryan's POV “We can’t lose her!” I tried to sound insistent, but my voice cracked and it came out as a whisper. Reegan just looked up at me, not saying anything. His cheeks were wet and his eyes glassy. Seeing my tough big brother cry made tears spring to my eyes. “I’m so sorry, Ry. This is all my fault.” He choked out, scrubbing his face with his hands. “Whatever this is, she’s going to be okay! She has to be! And when she wakes up, I swear I will do whatever it takes to make sure she doesn’t reject you. You don’t deserve that.” He sounded resolved, pulling himself off the floor and coming over to put a hand on my shoulder. “What are you talking about? You didn’t make her pass out. Doc will figure it out and we will deal with the rest when she’s feeling better.” I tried to reassure him. “Come on Ryan! She was fine until the interaction with Jenna, until she realized what kind of man I really am. She found out what a fucked-up asshole the Moon Goddess paired her with and was so upse
Kat's POV I was surrounded by darkness, like I had been swallowed up by it. I couldn’t feel anything. I was completely weightless, floating in a huge void. “Cara?” I reached out for her. No response. I couldn’t feel her presence with me either. I tried to think back, remember how I got here. My mind seemed clouded, fuzzy. It was like looking at static on a TV screen, the picture distorted. “Cara!” I yelled out for her again as a sense of dread spread over me. Where was she? Even when we were fighting, I could always feel her somewhere in the back of my mind. Now, it was like she disappeared altogether. As my anxiety increased, I felt myself hyperventilating. It reminded me of the attacks I would have in the early days after Jesse left me. I would start to think about how alone I felt, desolate and empty. Panic would set in and my breathing would become erratic. My best friend Sarah taught me some meditation exercises she learned from her yoga instructor. They really helped me c
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
