*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
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
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
*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?
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
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
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
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
