So good for them to finally accept they belong together! Next up, Kat gets closure from Jenna. Stay tuned! Thanks for reading!
Reegan's POV After our talk, when Kat and I were finally sated and just holding each other close, I could feel her emotions start to churn. I waited patiently, lazily trailing my fingers up and down her arm, knowing she would speak when she was ready. “I want to see her.” She insisted firmly. I didn’t even pretend to misunderstand her. “No!” I answered back, just as determined. “Reegan, I need this. I need her to see that she didn’t win, that she didn’t break me, break us.” She pleaded, earning a groan from me. “She’s not in good shape. You don’t want to see that, trust me.” I tried. “Please, I’m a Celtic Wolf, remember. Selene made me out of stronger stuff than you think.” She put on her best bravado. I wasn’t sure she knew what she was talking about but it was an argument I had no answer for. “Fine, we’ll take you tomorrow.” I offered but she was already up and pulling her jeans back on. “Now!” She demanded. I was momentarily distracted by her fine ass as she bent over to pi
*Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature. Reegan’ POV The week since bringing our little mate back home had passed in a blur. Aside from all the last minute ceremony preparations happening from dawn to dusk everyday, there were Alpha duties to manage. It was amazing how much work could pile up in just the few days we were away. My brother and I had always had a close working relationship, each playing to our strengths when it came to deciding who would handle which tasks. Ryan always handled anything requiring diplomacy while I handled the more “hands on” part of the role. But now, with the looming threat to our mate and our pack, we had to divide and conquer on the diplomatic front. It was decided that my twin would stick close to home, smoothing the pack’s ruffled feathers over our recent disappearing act, while I would hold meetings with our allies in hopes of building an army for whatever was to come. I’d just come back from a particularly frustratin
Ryan’s POV Finally, the day of our mating ceremony had arrived. The week had flown by in a blur but this time, all the anxiety of the previous attempt was gone. It was almost like we somehow knew this time nothing would stop us from making Kat our Luna and making our bond official in the eyes of our pack. Despite the larger threat still looming over us, we had faced the more immediate danger to our relationship. Those of our own making. We had earned the right to enjoy all that this day meant for us as mated wolves. The alarm was blaring on the nightstand but my normally cheery mate only grumbled and snuggled in deeper to my chest where her face was currently buried. She was sprawled over top of me with my brother laying heavily on top of her, making it impossible for me to reach the damn thing. Did no one else hear it? Admittedly it was barely the crack of dawn but who could sleep through that racket no matter what time it was. “Shut it off!” my wolf groaned in my head. “But d
Kat’s POV I ran my hands over the deep forest green silk that clung to me like a second skin as I took in my reflection in the full-length mirror. I wasn’t sure who it was staring back but it couldn’t be me. Whoever this woman was, she was confident and sexy. She had curves in all the right places that made her look like she belonged in this dress. I turned to look at the pale skin of my back on display all the way down to where the material hung in waves of satin just below my venus dimples. I felt thoroughly exposed but utterly beautiful at the same time. When choosing a material for my dress, Rachael had insisted this color highlighted my blond curls that now hung loosely over my shoulders and made my cornflower blue eyes shine even brighter. She had been right. A knock on my door told me the woman in question was here to move me along. It was time. I finished clasping the chandelier diamond earrings She had gifted me as I walked to the door. Rachael had worn them at her Luna Cer
Kat’s POV For wolves, a mating ceremony was the equivalent of a human wedding. As I stood at the far end of the aisle that would bring me to my mates, my arm linked with my father’s as he waited to walk me to them, that thought really started to sink in. Where humans had the option of divorce, wolves had no such thing. This choice I was making was forever, for all eternity. A mate bond and even physical coupling could be broken, but a mate’s mark was irreversible. I briefly wondered when something I had once found so completely terrifying and unthinkable had become all I ever wanted and more. “You look so beautiful, m’inion alainn.” My father’s adoring gaze and soft words settled my nerves. “Thank you daddy!” I replied, leaning up to kiss his cheek, then rubbing off the trace of lipstick on his cheek with my thumb. “You look incredibly handsome yourself. Aunty Isa is one lucky lady!” His eyes twinkled at the mention of his mate and the way he smiled at me told me it meant a lot
Kat’s POV Alpha Raphe and Luna Rachael stepped forward to transfer the Luna title to me next. Elder Cyrus brought the ceremonial bowl forward and the twins’ father brought the jewel encrusted knife with the pack symbol of silver wolves howling at a diamond bejeweled moon. He sliced his mate's hand and helped her squeeze her blood into the bowl then passed the knife to my mates. Pain and remorse flashed across first Reegan’s and then Ryan’s faces as they both grasped the hilt and brought the blade to my hand, I flashed them both a smile to let them know I was fine. It was difficult to cause a mate even the slightest pain but I would heal almost instantly and it had to be done. They both helped to drip my blood into the bowl to mix with their mother’s. “I, Luna Rachael Stone, do so willingly and with full confidence in your ability and desire to lead the Glass Lake pack, transfer the title of Luna to you, Katalina Stone.” Rachael’s commanding voice echoed through the room. Her use of
Ryan’s POV I watched in disbelief as our mate shifted in mid-air. As Alphas, my brother and I could shift more quickly than most wolves but nothing like that. For a moment I was too stupefied to react. I could tell by the lack of movement beside me that Reegan was just as shocked as I was. “Did you know she could do that?” He asked in awe. “Absolutely not!” I answered. “Our mate is just full of surprises.” “And has a pretty good head start!” I heard the rustle of clothing, telling me he was undressing to shift. I quickly did the same, then we both shifted and took off at a dead run. Now that she was marked, it would be difficult for her to hide from us. Not only could we follow her scent, but being marked gave us an innate sense of awareness of her whereabouts. Still, our wolves loved a good chase, especially when she was the prize. Rikkon, Reegan’s wolf, ran just ahead of me but my wolf, Teague, had no trouble keeping up. We sat back and let our wolf instincts guide us a
Reegan’s POV I couldn’t hide the joy I felt as I walked back to the garden for our mating reception with my gorgeous mate on my arm. It was plastered all over my face in a goofy grin but I couldn’t help it. Already this night had far exceeded my expectations and it wasn’t even close to over. I’d always known my brother and I would have a mating ceremony someday. As Alphas of such a large and influential pack, taking a Luna was a responsibility we couldn’t run from. But I’d always assumed we’d take a chosen mate out of obligation. I could never have predicted the whirlwind that was Katalina Connor would storm into my life and upend all my well laid out plans for my life. But Goddess, i couldn’t be more fucking thankful she had! Pure, unadulterated joy was the only thing I was capable of feeling right now. Well, that and a healthy measure of lust for my sexy as fuck mate, but that was a constant state of existence for me since she walked into my life. But this joy, this level of happ
