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
