The whole disastrous evening from Kat's perspective. Hope you enjoyed the glimpse from her POV. But she failed to make a clean getaway from her Alphas, so more drama to come. Thanks for reading!
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
*Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature. Ryan’s POV “Why are you doing this to me?” she'd asked through her shuddering sobs. She sounded so broken and all I wanted was to make all her pain go away. But I couldn’t because I had no idea what she meant. It made me feel helpless and out of control, two feelings I loathed. It took some time to coax it out of her but when she finally admitted what had happened with Jenna, I was speechless. I felt so many things that I couldn’t voice a single one of them. After a few minutes, the overriding emotion floated to the surface. Hurt. I was hurt for her, that she had to hear those lies and experience the pain they caused her. I was hurt to think she suffered through it alone the past two days. But more than any of that, I was hurt that she actually believed I was capable of using her that way. How had I failed her so completely that she would question my commitment to her and only her? She tried to explain but I
*Warning: This chapter contains minor sexual references Ryan’s POV My sweet angel started to stir, bringing me out of my thoughts. After last night’s adventures, we had all collapsed into a peaceful sleep. It felt so good to have her back between us after the previous night without her. I wasn’t ready for her to wake up yet and leave my arms so I held perfectly still, hoping she would settle without waking. Unfortunately, her heart rate picked up, telling me she was fully awake. “Good morning, Angel! How did you sleep?” I asked, nuzzling her head with my chin. “Mmm! So good!” She answered sleepily as she raised her head to look at me. “How about you?” She was staring at me expectantly, waiting for an answer but I was lost in her eyes. She was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen and her big blue eyes never failed to captivate me. “I, uh . . . good. Great actually. I always get the best night’s sleep with you in my arms, Angel!” I finally answered. She looked around and frown
Kat’s POV As soon as the door closed behind him, the dam broke. I cried so hard my whole body was wracked with it. I laid there for what felt like hours, letting out all the grief I’d been holding onto. All the pain I thought I had dealt with long ago but had really just locked away somewhere deep inside me. I grieved for the person I had been but could no longer find within myself. When did I become this weak, insecure creature? I used to be so confident, so self-assured. Once upon a time, I believed I deserved to be happy, to be loved. Why couldn’t I believe my own mates found me worthy? I cried for the loss of my mom. After my conversation with Elder Alma, I had come to understand that the grief I had felt as a teenager had really been my father’s, shared with me through my ‘gift.’ It had been all-consuming for so long, then one day I just decided I had mourned long enough and, somehow, I locked it away. Now I knew I had never really processed my own loss. So I let myself fe
Reegan’s POV “I, Kataline Connor, of the RedWoods Pack, accept you, Alpha Reegan Stone and Alpha Ryan Stone, of the Glass Lake Pack, as my Goddess-given mates.” Kat said, immediately after bursting into our office. I had to be dreaming. One minute, my brother and I were struggling to calm our wolves, fearing our mate was leaving us. Now, this goddess of ours was standing in front of us, declaring her acceptance of our mate bond. It had to be a dream because I had never done anything in my life to deserve such a beautiful gift. She was my everything. The air in my lungs, the heart beating in my chest, my reason for being and she’d just agreed to be mine for all eternity. I had felt Ryan’s agony earlier and knew something wasn’t right. But rather than panic, I reminded my wolf of our twin’s well known flair for the dramatic and tried to remain calm until I had all the facts. He was blocking me out of his head but he was nothing if not predictable, so I headed to where I knew he w
Reegan’s POV A jolt of panic shot through me as we waited for Kat to reaffirm her acceptance, but her next words set my mind at ease. “Yes, I’m sure.” She answered with a wide smile. “I had some hard truths to face today. And I can’t promise that my issues are all completely behind me. But what I can promise is that I’m willing to work through them with you rather than using them as an excuse to push you away. I’m all in. I-, we, Cara and I, are yours if you still want us.” Her words were still trailing off when Ryan yanked her body into his, holding her impossibly close. I surrounded her from behind, sliding my arms around her waist and burying my nose in her neck, taking in huge gulps of her delicious scent. Feeling her body pressed up against mine with the smell of her surrounding me had my member straining against my jeans, my body’s instinctive reaction to our mate. But now wasn’t the time for that. There would be plenty of time for that later but right now, I just needed to
