Do you blame Kat for rejecting them already? Thanks for sticking with me this far! Keep reading to find out what's wrong with Kat.
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
Reegan's POV “Get her out of those uncomfortable clothes. I’ll find her something to sleep in and get more cold rags,” Ryan directed as soon as the doctor left. I just stood there unmoving, unable to act. He started to turn away, intent on completing his own tasks, when he suddenly stopped, noticing I wasn’t moving. “Reegan!” Why are you just standing there?” He barked at me, clearly frustrated at my hesitation. He was in total controlling Alpha mode and in no mood for disobedience. “I, uh . . . she wouldn’t want me to touch her, Ry.” I croaked out, trying to hold back tears. Ryan took a deep breath, letting it out slowly before replying. “Brother, I understand what you’re feeling right now. Trust me, I get it because I’m feeling it too. I’m just choosing to focus on what I can control here and now. You heard what Dr. Collins said. Her wolf needs both of us close to her, touching her in order to heal. If we don’t do this she could die, Reeg!” he implored. “I’d rather have her al
Ryan's POV I felt like I was on fire! Still half asleep, I struggled to understand what was happening. Why did I feel like I was being burned alive? As my eyes adjusted to the dark, I glanced down to see my beautiful angel draped over me, having shifted in her sleep. Coming fully awake, it finally clicked. She was burning me! Her fever had spiked and she was on fire! “Reegan!” I yelled. “What? What’s happening?” he said, sitting straight up in bed. “Kat’s burning up! Link someone to bring a tub of ice and run a cold bath while I link the doctor. I’ll bring her in when the bath is ready.” I directed. He nodded and headed to the bathroom. I heard the faucet turn on and the water running. “Doc? Doc!” I yelled through the link. “Alpha? What is it? What’s wrong?” She responded almost immediately. “Kat’s fever spiked! It feels like she’s burning alive!” I said, panic evident in my voice. “We’re putting her in an ice bath now.” I told her, just as Zayne walked in the door with
*Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature Kat's POV It was warm. Too Warm! Delicious tingles were caressing my whole body. My mind slowly registered what was happening. The twins. I was sandwiched between them. The rock hard yet surprisingly comfortable surface I was laying on was Reegan and the heating blanket draped over my back was Ryan. I could tell by their yummy scents. Wait! What? The last thing I remembered was rejecting them. So how did I end up in bed with both of them? My eyelids felt heavy. When I finally managed to pry them open, all I could see was Reegan’s rippling ab muscles. I had a sudden urge to lick them. What was wrong with me? “What happened?” I managed to croak out. I felt Ryan’s weight lift off me as he shot up in bed. “Wait! Please don’t try to reject us again!” He spit out. “Please baby! At least let us talk first,” Reegan pleaded as he sat up with me gently. He cupped my face in his hands and turned me to look at him. “Pleas
Kat's POV All of a sudden, I could feel Cara stretching in the back of my head, finally coming around. I figured now was as good a time as any to try to apologize to her. “Cara, can you hear me? I’m so sorry! I didn’t realize I was hurting you so much. I was just upset and made a rash decision. You know I would never want to do anything that would make you want to leave. Please forgive me!” I rushed out, tears streaming down my face. “I forgive you Kat. I made a rash decision too, pulling away from you like that. I would never want to hurt you either. I just don’t want you to make the wrong choice. We need them Kat. They’re ours! Please promise you’ll give it some more time. Please!” She begged. “I tell you what, I promise to talk to them when we go back out there. Let’s see how that conversation goes and we can decide from there, okay?” It was the most I could offer right now. “Okay, but promise you’ll talk to me first before making any big decisions!” She insisted. “I can d
Kat's POV “Did you guys want to find your mate?” I answered their question with my own. “Yes, of course!” Ryan replied right away. “Yeah, I did too,” Reegan said, a bit more hesitantly. I flashed him a look that left no doubt about how little I believed him but chose not to address it. “Yet it never occurred to you that your future Luna, the woman you would ask to stand beside you and lead with you, would have to overcome the stigma you created in order to fulfill her role." I charged. "I don’t take it personally. You didn’t know me until two days ago. But now you’re asking me to be that person so I have to think about how your choices will affect me. What happened with Jenna was the perfect example. You obviously don’t respect women. Instead you treat them like objects meant to be used for your pleasure. And did you even stop for a minute to think about what it was like for me to stand there while Jenna laid her claim to you? I have no idea what happened between the two o
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
