Either the Alphas are really good at playing their roles or they really care about her. Thanks for reading!
Ryan’s POV I sat on the bed with my laptop, distracting myself with work emails while Reegan paced back and forth in front of me. He was muttering under his breath, presumably talking to his wolf, but it was driving me crazy! It was hard enough trying to keep my own emotions in check without his nervous energy on full display. After about thirty minutes, I couldn’t take it anymore. I was about to suggest we go back to check on our mate when both of our phones dinged at the same time. I dug mine out of my pocket and Reegan nearly dove to grab his off the dresser. “Your parents were really nice but meeting them just made me realize how serious things have gotten between us. I need some space to think. Please respect that and don’t come to my room tonight” The text read. “That’s not fucking happening!” Reagan roared. “Brother, stop!” I shouted back. “Forcing her to talk when she isn’t ready will only make it worse. It might even push her further away.” I tried to reason with hi
Reegan’s POV Dad wanted a full update on everything he had missed while he was away. While Ryan and I held the Alpha title outright, our father loved this pack dearly and could never fully remove himself from the daily affairs. Not that we minded. He was an amazing Alpha and mentor. We valued his input but he always gave us the freedom to make our own decisions. It had taken a lot of convincing and ultimately mom threatening to leave him here and go on vacation without him to get him to take some time off. As much as he loved the pack, he loved mom more and could never be without her for that long. Unfortunately, now, we were stuck rehashing every detail of the last month. I supposed I shouldn’t complain since it was occupying our time until Kat finished assisting Christian, but I was finding it damn difficult to focus. My wolf was pacing in my head, complaining about being away from his mate for too long. If he had his way, we would burst into that OR and drag her out of there.
Reegan’s POV “Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome Kat Connor to the stage for our next song of the night!” The announcer bellowed. “Well, wish me luck, gang!” Kat chirped before throwing back yet another shot and hurrying on stage. “What the fuck is she drinking?” I linked my brother as we sat back to listen to her angelic voice. As pissed as I was right now, hearing her sing made me melt every time. “I’m not sure. Maybe tequila?” He guessed. “But she’s obviously half-drunk already. We need to keep a close eye on her.” “Like I would let her out of my sight in a place like this, drunk or not.” I scoffed back. I knew what kind of guys frequented this place. Unfortunately, I’d been one of them once upon a time. Soon, the music started, breaking me out of my thoughts as Kat’s voice filled the room. She’s just a girl and she’s on fire Hotter than a fantasy . . . And all I could think was yes, she fucking is! Watching her up there, her hot body in that damn scrap of a dress,
Kat’s POV This whole night turned out to be a disaster! I had been hoping to sneak out of the pack house before the twins realized I’d left, but that plan was shot to hell when they showed up at my door before I could leave. I was dressed to the nines in the sexiest outfit I could find, desperate to regain my confidence after the devastating blow to my ego Jenna had delivered the night before. As soon as they both saw me, their eyes roamed my body like they wanted to pounce and devour me. It was almost enough to make my resolve to leave them crumble to dust. Damn mate bond! Making me want them despite their betrayal. Somehow I found the will to walk out, trying to sway my hips and exude confidence as I walked away. When I climbed into Tyler's car, Sarah and Rae were already with him. They all gushed over my outfit, telling me how hot I looked and it was just the boost I needed. I actually started to look forward to the night at that point. I loved my friends and it had been a lo
Kat’s POV I tried to shake off the anxiety my conversation with Larissa caused. All I needed was to add more drama to this night. Thankfully, when I returned to the table, it was clear everyone was having way too much fun to notice my strange mood. And right on cue, as if sensing my need to drink myself into oblivion, the waitress brought another round and I wasted no time in taking my shot before immediately ordering another. One of the twins tried to go all parental on me, telling me to slow down, but I shut that down real fast. Just when I thought the night couldn’t get any more uncomfortable, Raeanne’s drunk ass thought it would be fun to share our most embarrassing memories from some of our past outings together. It was all fun and games until she started talking about an incident that involved my relationship with Jesse. She was too blitzed to realize how inappropriate it was but that didn’t stop me from wanting to crawl under the table and hide. Thankfully, Jesse got call
Kat’s POV By the time I found my voice again, we had already made it to the car and Reegan was passing me to his brother who was already sitting in the back seat. Ryan pulled me onto his lap and wrapped his arms around me, holding me tightly in his vice-like grip. “Argh! Let go of me!” I screamed at him while attempting to wiggle away. “Not happening, Angel!” Ryan grunted back as my elbow made contact with his ribs. “You are not making good choices right now and as your mates, it’s our responsibility to keep you safe!” “I already told you, I don’t need a babysitter!” I gritted out. “I’m supposed to go home with Sarah!” I was so pissed, I wanted to let Cara out so I could claw them to death but she was currently ignoring me. “The fuck you are!” Reegan bit back. “I don’t know what the fuck has been going on with you the past couple days but you aren’t going anywhere until we sort it out so you might as well relax and make yourself comfortable back there.” Whether due to the alcoh
*Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature Kat’s POV Reegan slammed the SUV into park, jumped out and had the door to the back seat open before I could blink. I sat unmoving, still on Ryan’s lap, trying to will my body to move. “Here, pass her to me.” Reegan said, impatient with my inert state. Ryan slid over to the door and lifted me by the waist into Reegan’s waiting hands. But once he had me in his arms, he immediately flipped me over his shoulder to carry me caveman style toward the front door. “Put me down! I can walk!” I hissed at him while beating on his back with my fists. “Not a fucking chance!” He bit back. “You are in so much trouble, baby girl! Now hold still while I consider your punishment.” Then he slapped my ass to illustrate his point. “What? What did I do?” I whined back. “Oh, I think you know exactly what you did, but if you insist on playing coy, we can discuss it when we get upstairs.” I huffed in response then looked up at R
Ryan’s POV I woke up to feel Kat’s cheek plastered to my chest. She was snoring softly so I knew she was still sleeping soundly. Reegan was no longer in bed but I could hear movement in the bathroom so I knew he hadn’t gone too far. I glanced at the clock to see it was only six-thirty am. Training started thirty minutes ago and we had agreed last night to skip it so I knew he wasn’t headed there. But it was unlike him to be up this early for any other reason. I wanted to ask him what he was up to but didn’t want to risk waking my sleeping angel so I decided to mind-link him instead. “What are you doing up so early?” I questioned. “Whatever it is must be important to have you out of bed instead of sleeping in with our mate.” “Can’t sleep.” He grunted in my head. “I’m too fucking pissed off. I’m going to find Jenna and drag her ass down to the cells. Let’s see what a week in silver chains does for the scheming little bitch!” “You know you can’t really do that, right?” I chuckle
