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
Ryan’s POV “Hang on!” I warned as we hit the rocky trail that led down to the lake. Normally, I would hit the gas and enjoy the full off-roading experience on the drive down. With Kat in the truck, I tried to take it easy but it was still a bumpy ride. Reegan’s face paled as he held her tighter against himself. Neither of us could stomach the thought of her getting hurt, even a little bit. By the way she was whooping and laughing, she didn’t seem the least bit worried. “That was awesome!” Kat shouted as we pulled to a stop at the makeshift parking area by the lake. “Can we go faster on the way back?” Reegan looked like he was going to be sick just thinking about that idea. “Fuck no! That is not happening!” He linked me angrily. I understood his concern. We’d both do anything to prevent even a single hair on her head from being harmed if we could. But I also found it extremely difficult to deny her anything. Especially when she looked at me with that pleading look she had on
Ryan’s POV “Hold your breath Angel! You’re going under!” I warned. She squealed loudly as I pulled her down with me. We broke through the surface at the same time, me laughing and Kat sputtering. She flung her long hair off her face and wiped the water out of her eyes, then immediately began her feeble attempt at revenge. “You dickhead!” She yelled, but couldn’t stifle her giggles long enough to be taken seriously. She was splashing me furiously but it was like a gnat trying to swat a human. It just made me crack up harder. Reegan was standing behind her, waist deep in the water, roaring with laughter as well. “She’s like an angry little pixie!” He howled, almost sobbing from laughing so hard. Offended by his comment, Kat turned her attention in his direction. She slowly sauntered over to him until they stood face to face. Reegan was looking down at her warily, trying to contain his mirth. She reached up and placed both hands on his chest, slowly running them down to his stom

Weird, but maybe off-roading wasn’t his thing. “Did you have fun today, baby girl? He asked, quickly changing the subject. “I had an amazing time! The lake was beautiful and everyone was so nice! I really enjoyed hanging out with all your friends too!” I gushed. “Thank you for including me!” I really did have a great time. When they suggested going to the beach, I was so excited. There was no beach in RedWoods so it wasn’t something I got to do very often. And I did have a good time hanging out with everyone. Zoe and Julia were such nice girls. They made me feel like I belonged in their tight circle of friends. I had already bonded with Dillon over warrior training. Zayne seemed a bit shy, but was sti
Kat’s POV Ryan took my hand, pulling me over to the comfy looking overstuffed couch facing a huge big screen tv at one end of his room. Now extricated from my cage between the twins, I could look around and fully take in this space that reflected his unique personality. While the walls were the same full round logs as in the room I occupied, the decor was totally different. Navy blues and forest greens comprised the major color scheme. A few pictures, mostly of woodland scenes adorned the walls. But what really caught my attention was the large, built-in bookcase that lined one entire wall, filled with rows upon rows of various titles. I gasped in delight as I walked over to take a closer look. The boys were quiet, just watching as I ran my hand over the spines, humming in appreciation at the collection. “This is amazing!” I exclaimed. “How long did it take you to collect all these?” Ryan walked over to stand next to me. “Some of them belong to the pack, passed down for generations.
