An Unwanted Fate Ch. 29 A Twin Connection?
*Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature Reegan's POV As usual, words failed me when it mattered most. And nothing had ever mattered more to me than this woman in front of me. So, I did my best to speak from my heart and explain how I felt. I didn’t expect it to be enough but I had to try. She was right, the mate bond doesn’t magically change you. I needed to make her understand that who I’d been was never who I wanted to be. I wanted to be the kind of man who deserved her and I was willing to die trying to prove it to her. So, when she asked for the tour we promised her, effectively letting us know she wasn’t walking away from us yet, words could not describe the elation that flowed through me. I looked over to my twin brother to see a matching smile on his face. I knew he was as excited and relieved as I was. We both lunged for Kat at the same time, pulling her up and sandwiching her between us in a tight hug. She giggled at us and it was the cutest sou
An Unwanted Fate Ch. 30 Snowball Fight
Ryan's POV This is what I had been missing, what I had been looking for to fill that empty void inside me. Kat truly was my angel. My saving grace. Just being in her presence made me feel complete. We had the best day just spending time together. Every time I looked at Reegan, he had the same massive grin on his face that I’d been wearing all day. He looked more relaxed and carefree than I’ve seen him in a long time. As much as he tried to make us all believe he enjoyed playing the fuck-boy role, I always knew it was just a façade. I loved that he seemed genuinely happy! It was a great call to make the drive up into the mountains. The look of awe on Kat’s face alone made the long drive worth it. She told us she had never played in the snow as a kid. Reeg and I took that as our cue to teach our girl the fine art of making snowballs. Unfortunately for us, she caught on quickly, pelting us both in the face before we had a chance to defend ourselves. “You are in so much trouble now
An Unwanted Fate Ch. 31 Meeting New Friends
Ryan's POV The closer we got to the dining room, the louder the voices grew as the pack chatted happily together waiting for dinner to be served. I always loved the close-knit family feel of our pack. Even though we were one of the largest packs in existence, our members built strong relationships with each other, always making community a priority. That was never more evident than the camaraderie they shared at meal times. However, I could tell the obvious size of the crowd was making Kat a little uneasy. Reegan seemed to sense it at the same time and we both moved closer to her, hoping to calm her with our presence. As we entered the hall, a hush fell over the room. My brother and I had never brought a woman to dinner before, leading to understandable curiosity from the pack. We led her straight to our table, not stopping to meet anyone’s eyes, effectively letting everyone know they would not be receiving an introduction just yet. They soon resumed their conversations, knowing we
An Unwanted Fate Ch. 32 Bold Moves
*Warning: Mild Sexual Content Reegan's POV I was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep. After spending the last two nights tangled up with my baby girl, there was no way my wolf was going to let me sleep without her. Not that I wanted to. Rikkon had not stopped whimpering and whining, trying to cajole me into going to our mate since the minute we left her at her bedroom door. Finally, I gave up and decided to link Ryan. Maybe he was as miserable as I was. “Hey baby bro, you up?” I asked. “What do you think? I take it you can’t sleep either,” he linked back. “This sucks! I’ll never get a good night’s sleep without her again!” I admitted. “I know, me either,” he said, sadly. “Hey, do you think she wanted us to stay with her? Teague keeps insisting her wolf Cara told him she did. And I could have sworn she looked a little disappointed when we were leaving.” “Rikkon keeps saying the same thing. Maybe we should go check on her. Do you think she’s asleep already?
An Unwanted Fate Ch. 33 Sneaking Out
Kat's POV Moonlight was still filtering in through the huge bedroom window when my eyes fluttered open. I looked at the clock sitting on the bedside table. 4:30 am. Why was I awake so early? As soon as the question flitted through my head, my bladder answered me. Next question: How was I going to get out of bed without waking the two hulking men who had me trapped between them. Apparently we had shifted in the night. I was now draped across Reegan’s chest, one leg over him twisted between his legs. Ryan was nearly lying on top of my back, his arm wrapped securely around my waist. I had no wiggle room but I was oddly comfortable. Despite the sparks zinging my skin where we touched, I had slept like a rock. I could feel Cara stirring in the back of my mind, starting to wake up as well. “Good morning!” She murmured. “What a marvelous way to wake up!” I didn’t exactly disagree with her but I was a bit wary as well. What had gotten into me last night? That was so not supposed to happen
An Unwanted Fate Ch. 34 The Show
Ryan's POV “What did she say?” I asked my brother, my brain still trying to catch up. When I woke up a few minutes ago and noticed Kat was gone, I woke Reegan up in a panic. I wasn’t fully awake but my wolf was. And he was telling me she had been gone a while, her scent now faint on the sheets. “I have no idea what she said but I’m pretty sure that was her intention.” He replied. “Anyway, it doesn’t matter. It’s pretty obvious where she was. I can’t decide what I’m angriest about- that she went to practice fighting, knowing we didn’t want her to or that she went out wearing next to nothing. Our pack warriors are a bunch of horny wolves. You know they were drooling all over her.” That thought had my wolf seeing red. I was out of bed and banging on the bathroom door before I could register how I got there. “Angel! Come open this door now please! We need to talk!” I yelled over the sound of the shower running. No response. I growled, banging on the door again. When she still didn
An Unwanted Fate Ch. 35 Date Night
Reegan’s POV I could not wait to take my baby girl out on our first date. So much has happened in the short time since we first met. Not all of it good. I was really looking forward to the opportunity to just spend time with her away from the pack house. We needed some time to get to know each other better as people, not just as wolves with a mate bond between us. Don’t get me wrong. I would be eternally grateful to the Moon Goddess for pairing me with Katalina Connor. I had no doubt that without the pull of the mate bond, I would have no chance with a woman like her. But even with the bond, happily-ever-after was not a guarantee. If my brother and I wanted this, we were going to have to work hard for it. And I’d never wanted anything more in my life. I was willing to do whatever it took to prove myself worthy of her. I wanted to know everything about her, what she liked and disliked, all her hopes and dreams. But I also wanted her to know me. The real me. Not the fucked up asshol
An Unwanted Fate Ch. 36 Elysium
Reegan’s POV Music was blaring as we pushed our way through the crowded bar looking for a table. Elysium had just opened a few weeks ago and judging by the size of the crowd, it was the place to be. It was exactly the kind of place I would prowl for my next conquest before meeting the force of nature that was Katalina Connor. Now, I couldn’t be more excited to spend the whole night just enjoying her company. We found a table in the back, perfect for some privacy when we weren’t dancing. “I’ll go to the bar and order our drinks.” I announced out loud before leaning close to Kat’s ear and whispering to her, “What do you want, baby girl?” “Whiskey and a shot of tequila!” she answered quickly, totally ignoring my double entendre. “Same!” Ryan added his order. I noticed him pulling Kat’s chair closer to his as I turned to walk to the bar. This is not his usual scene and he seemed a little uncomfortable. “Bro! You’ve got her nearly sitting on top of you. Why don’t you just pull her all

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.

But when an unplanned encounter derails his plans, wil
An Unwanted Fate Bonus Chapter: Jesse
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
An Unwanted Fate Bonus Chapter: Jenna
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
An Unwanted Fate Bonus Chapter: Damien and Trista
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
An Unwanted Fate Bonus Chapter: Ian and Isabella
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
An Unwanted Fate Epilogue Part 3
*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
An Unwanted Fate Epilogue Part 2
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
An Unwanted Fate Epilogue Part 1
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’
An Unwanted Fate Ch. 163 My Forever
*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
