Second chapter for today. Now we know what Jesse was thinking during that conversation and I have a feeling he is going to cause trouble! Thanks for reading!
Ian’s POV I was so excited to see my daughter! It had only been a week but I missed her terribly, m’inion alainn. I would never tell her that, though. She was exactly where she needed to be and if she thought for one second I was unhappy, she would run home for good. I couldn’t allow that. She wasn’t responsible for my happiness. I would learn to adjust to an empty house. Besides, I could always visit Glass Lake. A knock on the door had me leaping out of my seat to answer it, thinking Kat had come a bit early to surprise me. I should have known better. If it had been her, she would have walked right in without knocking. The person behind the door did surprise me though. “Hello, Alpha! To what do I owe this honor?” I greeted him jovially. “Hi Ian. Sorry to drop by unannounced. I was hoping you had a few minutes to talk,” he replied. “Of course! I always have time for you!” I told him honestly. Despite his history with Kat, we had maintained a good relationship. I hated that
Ryan’s POV As soon as the front door opened and my Angel’s mouthwatering scent reached me, I was on my feet to go to her. When I heard what Alpha Klein said to her earlier, aside from wanting to murder the fucker, I had ached to pull her into my arms and comfort her. When she turned to face us after his insult, she held a placid expression on her face but I could see the pain in her beautiful blue eyes and it nearly broke me. My heart told me to reach for her but my head told me she wouldn’t want that. She was trying so hard to appear strong and I needed to let her walk out with her head held high. But now, I wanted her to know she never had to pretend for us. She could always express her true feelings to us and we would never see her as weak. “I missed you so much, Angel!” I growled playfully as my brother and I both tackled her in a hug. She giggled and the sound made my heart actually do a little flip. Reegan was busy burying his nose in her hair, inhaling her scent like he was
Ryan’s POV Soon it was time to head home. Ian went to pack an overnight bag, while Reegan and I went to wake Kat. He wanted to see the room where I first laid eyes on our mate. I remembered exactly where her room was but even if I hadn’t, her scent would have drawn me to her. I cracked her bedroom door open to peek my head in, wanting to watch her sleep for a moment before waking her. And just like the first time, her scent hit me and nearly knocked me off my feet. Before I could even react to it, my twin was shoving past me into the room. He stopped short when his eyes landed on her, sleeping peacefully with her full, pink lips parted slightly and her long eyelashes fluttering on her cheeks. I had to hold my wolf back from pouncing on her and I could see Reegan was fighting his wolf as well. “Every time I see her I feel like I’m in a fucking dream.” Reegan confessed in my head. Never one to talk about his feelings openly, just the fact that he said those words spoke volumes about
Reegan’s POV This was pure torture! What the fuck was happening to me? Somewhere in the span of the last two weeks, I had gone from the guy who could never stomach the idea of actually spending the entire night in the same bed with a she-wolf to this guy, the one who now apparently can’t sleep at all without a she-wolf lying next to me. Well, one she-wolf in particular. I used to sleep like a baby, in my own room, in my own bed, alone. Every night! Even after a hook-up, I always came home alone. It was a personal rule. Looks like I should've kept my mouth shut instead of teasing Kat about karma being a bitch. Truer words were never spoken and they have come back to bite me in the ass. Because now, I would give anything not to be in this bed alone. I need my baby girl in my arms, her scent enveloping me and the feel of her soft skin touching mine. I have tried everything I can think of to get to sleep. I even tried to read. An actual book! Even if I had found it interesting, my wo
Reegan’s POV It took a little convincing but Christian jumped in to assure Kat he could handle the few remaining appointments alone. Kat seemed confused as to why she would need to accompany us to our meeting but Ian gave her the “don’t question your father look” to which she responded with an eye roll but didn’t question it further. As we approached the Elder Council House, Elder Alma was already outside waiting for us on the front porch. “Alma!” My brother and I called in unison as we each kissed one of her cheeks. “There are my boys!” she returned, hugging us both. “I was starting to think you might stand me up, but then I saw you coming.” “Elder Alma has the gift of foresight, often seeing things before they happen.” Ryan turned to Kat and Ian to explain. Kat’s eyes went wide at that information. “Finally, you bring your beautiful mate to meet me.” Alma scolded. “I’ve been seeing flashes of her for months but none of my visions did her justice. You are gorgeous my dear
Kat’s POV My head was spinning with everything I’d just heard. Part of me did not want to believe it. I mean, how could I possibly be what they said I am, a Celtic Wolf with special abilities, and never realized it? But an even bigger part of me knew it to be true. I couldn’t explain it. I just knew. Not to mention my wolf who was chanting “I told you so” in my head over and over. So many things seemed to make sense all of a sudden, like puzzle pieces fitting together. I had always felt things deeply, had strong reactions to emotionally charged circumstances. When my mom died, I had days where the sadness consumed me. I had found it strange at the time. Not that I was sad, because of course I missed my mother. But it was almost as though I could feel the broken bond as my father felt it. Looking back, some of my most difficult times, days when the grief was so raw I couldn’t even get out of bed, were some of my father’s worst days as well. What I found coincidental at the time, now
*Warning: Minor sexual references Kat’s POV I wanted nothing more than to wash this day away so I headed straight for the bathroom, closing the door behind me. As much as I knew it would calm me to have my mates’ arms around me, I needed a few minutes to myself. I turned the shower knob as hot as it would go and peeled my clothes off while waiting for the water to warm. I stepped in and let the steaming water cascade over me, washing away all my concerns and melting the tension I’d been holding in my neck and shoulders. My mind was totally zoned out, just enjoying the pure bliss of a nice, hot shower, when out of nowhere a jolt of desire coursed through me. It was so powerful, I had to brace my hands against the cold tile to hold myself upright. My core was throbbing with need and I could feel an intense pleasure building within me. I wanted to moan out loud from the erotic sensations I was experiencing but I bit my bottom lip to keep any sound from escaping. The twins were waitin
Ryan’s POV As much as I hated being away from my angel for even an hour, I was actually looking forward to this drive and having some time to process the events of the last two days. I would miss Kat like crazy and my wolf was restless about leaving her, but so much had happened recently and it had us on edge. I needed some time to think and gain some perspective. Firstly, the incident with Alpha Klein had really upset Kat. I was fucking pissed at him for hurting my mate but my priority was to comfort her and make sure she was okay. Which meant I hadn’t really dealt with my own feelings about it yet. I wasn’t sure how I would be able to work with him going forward when all I really wanted was to kill him slowly and painfully. The fact that neither my brother or I took a swing at him was a testament to the calming effect our mate had on us. Despite how I felt about her ex, we had a lot to offer his pack through our alliance. Those were Kat’s people, her friends and family. We could
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
