Ryan's perspective on the previous evening's "events." Thanks for reading!
Ryan's POV “Reegan!” I shouted, watching him wake with a start. “What the fuck, Ry?” He said groggily. I watched as he took in the empty bed, his brain not yet catching up with what his eyes were seeing. “She’s gone!” I yelled at him, panic clear in my voice. That woke him up completely. “What do you mean she’s gone?” He barked, jumping out of bed. “Let’s go check her room. She probably wanted a shower and all her stuff was in there.” “Ok. But what if she’s not? What if she regrets last night? Maybe we pushed her too far too fast.” I said, sounding defeated. “What if she left us?” Reegan growled as his wolf flashed in his eyes at that thought. His eyes glazed over and I knew he was doing what I should have done already if I hadn’t been so worked up, mind-linking the border patrol to see if she had left our territory. “No one has seen her cross the border.” He informed me, setting my mind somewhat at ease. “If she’s not in her room, we’ll scour the place until we find her.”
Reegan’s POV Ryan sighed as we watched our girl walk away from us. I understood exactly how he felt because I felt the same way. After last night, the draw to be close to her was stronger than ever. Yet, the sense of pride we felt at her drive and commitment to help our pack members was powerful too. I ran my hand through my chocolate waves, trying to calm my warring emotions. Part of me wanted to follow her back in there, toss her over my shoulder caveman style and drag her back to my bed. But that was my wolf talking. The rational, human side of me was quickly coming to realize my baby girl had a strong-willed, independent streak that my brother and I would do well to respect if we had any hope of her accepting us. “Come on, brother.” I said, letting out my own sigh. “I want to drag her out of there as much as you do but we both know where that would get us.” “Yeah, back to sleeping alone most likely.” He pouted. “We’ve already seen her pissed off enough to never want to see
Reegan’s POV “What does that mean?” Ryan blurted out. Alma silenced him with a glare. “It means that her perception of certain events elicits much stronger emotions in her than they would any other she-wolf. It also means she can sense emotions in others to the extent that she almost experiences the other person’s feelings as her own.” She explained. “I suspect her perceived control has developed over time as a defense mechanism, perhaps even subconsciously. It will be important for you to remember that her outward responses do not always reflect her inner experience. Anger that quickly turns to calm does not mean the anger has subsided internally. It simply means she has learned to temper her behavior until she can process her feelings at a later time. It is an impressive ability for an empath. All too often, their emotions consume them, leading them to substance abuse or worse in an attempt to escape.” “Okay- “ Ryan started again. “Shush! I’m not done, child.” Ryan bristled a
Reegan’s POV “Are you okay brother?” Ryan asked, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. I hadn’t realized I had bent over with my hands on my knees until I saw him leaning over me. “Yeah, I’m fine. Just needed a minute to catch my breath. That was a lot to take in.” I answered, standing up and schooling my features. I couldn’t let my baby brother see me falling apart. “It’s time to meet Kat for lunch,” he reminded me. “Are you still up for it?” “Of course! I’m not missing an opportunity to spend time with my baby girl. Let’s go!” I replied, forcing excitement into my voice. I was excited to see her. I just hoped she wouldn’t sense my anxiety. I wasn’t used to hiding my feelings. If something was on my mind, everyone knew it. But Alma was right. Telling her now with so little information would only cause her to worry. I wouldn’t let her worry. “How is it you seem so unaffected by all this?” I asked Ryan quietly as we walked. “Ha!” He laughed humorlessly. “My mind is a wr
Kat’s POV I really was tired. And starving. My wolf and I hadn’t run and played that hard and for that long since . . .well, a long time. Training wasn’t the same as running for hours in wolf form. I couldn’t wait to get back to the pack house for dinner. And I had no doubt I would sleep like the dead tonight. Cara was already purring contentedly in her sleep, though I could still sense the bliss radiating from her. She was Team Rikkon and Teague all the way so spending time with them today was a dream come true for her. I couldn’t really blame her. As mates go, any she-wolf would be lucky to have them. If they wanted a mate, that is. When I stepped out from behind the tree to see two huge chocolate colored wolves with beautiful seafoam green eyes staring back at me, it took my breath away! They were massive, with a thick coat of glossy brown fur. But the bulky musculature beneath still showed through. Looking at them, one had the sense nothing could harm you in their presence. I
*Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature Kat’s POV I was standing in front of the vanity towel-drying my hair when I heard a knock on the door. Somehow I knew who it would be. I quickly ran my fingers through my hair, tousling it into something resembling tame curls before swinging the door open. The combination of both of their scents engulfed me and I was struck again by how delicious it was. No matter how much time I spent with them, I was never quite prepared for the jolt of electricity that shot through me or the desire that coursed through my veins every time I looked at their handsome faces, perfectly sculpted bodies or the smoldering look that burned in their eyes when they looked at me. That look was pure desire and it sent heat straight to my core. Low growls rumbled through both of them as they ran their eyes over my body, cleavage on full display in the low cut bodice of my nightie and the silk hem of the shorts skimming my toned ass cheeks. I
*Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature Kat’s POV Despite the way their kisses and caresses muddled my mind, I somehow knew who was touching me where. Reegan nibbled and licked at my ear, his hot breath tickling and teasing me until my toes curled. His lips made their way down my jaw and neck, leaving behind a burning sensation on my skin everywhere his mouth had been. All the while his hand kneaded my right tit, his expert fingers brushing over my nipple from time to time, driving me insane. I wanted to scream at him to stop teasing me, to beg for more, but I knew that would be playing right into their hands. To make matters worse, Ryan had drawn my left nipple into his mouth, swirling and flicking his tongue across it while trailing his fingers over my abdomen in a feather light touch. Wanton moans filled the room and I belatedly realized they were coming from me. A familiar pressure was building between my legs and I squeezed my thighs together in an ef

Thank you so much to all mu lovely readers for sticking with "An Unwanted Fate" until the end. I hope you enjoyed the ride as much as I did while writing it! 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. Afraid he won’t be able to restrain his wolf from claiming their underage mate, Finnick decides to leave, intending to return and claim her as his on her 18th birthday. But when an unplanned encounter derails his plans, wil
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
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
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
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
*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
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
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’
*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
