Reegan's been promising that since early in their relationship. Had to make it happen! Thanks for reading!
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
Reegan’s POV I was dancing with Julia when I noticed the Beta of the crimson Moon pack, Finnick making his way through the crowded dance floor towards our mate. He had that mischievous look in his eye and I just knew that fucker was up to no good. I remembered the last time I caught him making a move on my baby girl and I was not about to let him try it again. Releasing Julia, I apologized to her and quickly went to cut him off. He was within a foot of her and I realized I wasn’t going to make it in time to keep him from putting his filthy paws on her when he suddenly stopped and growled. What the fuck? He did not just growl at my mate! “Whose scent is that on you?” He demanded. I was going to fucking kill him for talking to her like that. “Um, Finnick, it’s nice to see you again,” She tried to cover the awkward situation. “Whose scent!” He barked again just as I got to him and grabbed him by the collar. Ryan walked up at the same time, clearly struggling to contain his rag
Kat’s POV I knew Ryan could sing from his performance at the infamous karaoke night all those months ago. I’d never heard Reegan sing before, but I guess it stood to reason he would possess that talent too. They were twins after all. Still, the lengths they would both go to show me what I meant to them never ceased to amaze me. I couldn’t believe they planned that surprise for me, and knowing they meant every word of that song made it even more special. My cheeks flushed as the crowd cheered at Dillon’s announcement. I would have a conversation with him about his penchant for embarrassing me but tonight I wouldn’t let it bother me. I snuggled deeper into Reegan’s chest as he carried me from the party. My core throbbed in anticipation of what the rest of the night had in store. I was so caught up in my lustful thoughts that I almost missed the fact that I had no idea where we were headed. “Where are we going?” I asked, peeking up at the twins in confusion. “You’ll see, Angel.” R
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
