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
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
