Things are heating up! Thanks for reading!
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
Kat’s POV As the song came to a close, I could barely contain the exhilaration coursing through me! I hadn’t realized how much I missed this. A love for music in all its forms was something each member of our group of friends shared. We used to sing karaoke or at open mic nights every chance we got. When Jesse and I broke up, it was just too awkward to continue. Larissa never wanted to join, saying she wasn’t musically inclined. And of course Jesse and I wouldn’t be singing together anymore. It was hard enough to avoid each other as it was. So we all just stopped going. Singing with Tyler tonight reminded me what a rush it was to do something I loved, especially when the crowd got into it like they were now. As soon as the music stopped, the crowd was on their feet cheering. Tyler picked me up and swung me around, obviously enjoying himself as much as I was. He hopped down off the stage then reached his arms up for me to jump to him, kissing me on the cheek as he set me on my fe
Hello Readers! Thank you so much for continuing to read An Unwanted Fate! I hope you are enjoying getting to know Kat, Reegan and Ryan so far. They've had a rocky start and I promise there more ups and downs to come on this roller coaster ride. There will also be a lot more mature content from here on out but I will continue to post warnings at the beginning of the chapter if it's about to get a little steamy so you can skip it if you prefer. This is book one of a three book series: The Celtic Wolf Series. It is actually complete and I will continue to post almost daily until all chapters are published. Book 2 is underway. I will post progress updates on book two once I've finished uploading this book. I'd love to hear your thoughts so far. Feel free to leave comments at any time!
Reegan’s POV “Fuck” I roared as I punched a hole in my bedroom wall. I knew I had fucked up as soon as the words left my mouth and I saw the pain flash in Kat's eyes before she masked it. I had taken the one thing she needed to heal from, the one thing we needed her to heal from in order to allow herself to accept us, and torn the scar wide open, leaving a fresh, gaping wound. Why the fuck couldn’t I just keep my damn mouth shut? She had been so happy after she finished that song, even letting me shower her with affection without pulling away. And the way she was smiling at me, like I was her hero for giving her a simple compliment. Then I went and let my own insecurities ruin it. What a fucking idiot! Rikkon couldn’t agree more, berating me in my head. “You hurt mate! You made her sad!” He accused. “You think I don’t fucking know that?!” I barked back at him. “I already know I don’t deserve her. I prove it every time I open my mouth. What do you want from me?” He didn’t an
Ryan’s POV I stared at myself in the bathroom mirror, barely recognizing the guy looking back at me. Between my own riot of emotions and Teague pacing and pawing in my head all night, I hardly slept a wink. As a result, my eyes were bloodshot and had dark, bruise-like half-moons underneath. My normally perfectly tousled waves were now in snarled knots sticking out from my head, probably from tossing and turning all night. If Kat didn’t let us back in her bed, I may never have another good night’s sleep the rest of my life. The thought alone was exhausting! Shoving that depressing thought aside, I splashed some cold water on my face and went to work combing through the knots in my hair. I threw on a pair of gray sweatpants and a white t-shirt then headed out the door to meet Reegan. We agreed to go see Kat together this morning to ask her to come to the lake with us and our friends. I was anxious to talk to her and see how she reacted to us after last night’s events. Part of me hop
