Wow! Who knew Ryan could be such an ass?! Thanks for reading!
Kat’s POV After leaving Ryan at his office door, I sauntered my way over to the clinic. My steps felt lighter than they had in a long while, causing me to muse over what a difference a few days could make. “Kat, uh, I mean Luna!” Stacy called, rushing over to greet me as I walked through the door. I just rolled my eyes and giggled at her. “Just Kat is fine, please. I’m here to work, just like every other time.” I said, pulling her into a hug. “Really? That’s fantastic! Dr. Trent will be so happy to see you! He’s swamped today and a bit grouchy about it. We just figured now that you're the new Luna you wouldn’t be helping out here any more.” She sucked in a deep breath, having used all her air to get all those words out. I shook my head, laughing at her some more. “Well I’m here, so point me in the direction I’ll be of most help.” I motioned for her to lead the way. We were walking down the back hall where all the exam rooms were when Christian came barreling out of one, near
Hi Readers! Thank you so much for reading An Unwanted Fate! I hope you are enjoying it so far! I want to apologize for all the comments I haven't responded to yet. I am having technical difficulties! I just realized I haven't been receiving them to my inbox and do not have the capability to respond to them in the chapters. I am working to resolve the issue but please know I do see them and appreciate them. I will continue to update at least two chapters daily until the book is complete which I anticipate will be around mid-march. It will also inluce a few bonus chapters to wrap up the stories of some of the ancillary characters. Book 2 is coming along and will begin to upload shortly after Book 1 is complete. I appreciate you all so much and look forward to continuing this journey together! Cara
Kat’s POV I made the usual hour-long drive between Glass Lake and RedWoods pack territory in a record thirty minutes. Praise the Goddess for wolf reflexes. As soon as I pulled into the parking lot of the pack infirmary, I slammed the truck into park and leapt out, leaving the keys in the ignition. I burst through the front doors without slowing my pace, weaving my way through the crowded hallway that served as our emergency waiting area. The girl working the front desk knew me well and didn’t even bat an eyelash when I skidded to a stop in front of her. “Holly Anderson?” I asked frantically. “Already in surgery. OR two.” She answered swiftly. “Thanks!” I yelled behind me, already on my way to the OR. “Kat!” I heard a familiar voice call out to me. I turned around to acknowledge him. “Matthew! You did good getting her here quickly. She’s in surgery. I’m heading in now and I will come talk to you as soon as I know anything.” “Thank you so much. I was dying out here. No one
Reegan’s POV “She left?” I heard what Ryan said but I couldn’t get my brain to process the words. “What the fuck do you mean she left?” I was at least two hours away, in the middle of a meeting I couldn’t leave without delaying our building project, and the only information he gave me was ‘she left.’ Was he trying to give me a fucking heart attack? “I fucked up and she left.” He sounded broken and it was scaring the shit out of me. My twin brother doesn’t fuck up. Ever. What could he have possibly done to make her leave? Everything had been fine just a short time ago. So fine I had to stop at a gas station to clean myself up. Thank fuck I had a change of clothes in the car. “I need details and I need them right fucking now, Ry!” I shouted into the phone, redirecting my thoughts to the issue at hand. “Start talking!” He quickly spelled out the situation and all I could do was shake my head. He had scolded her like an impolite child, in front of other pack members no less, and ha

Kat’s POV As my body roused from sleep, I hovered in that semi-wakeful state with eyelids still too heavy to open. I could feel eyes on me so I took a deep breath, catching his coffee and cinnamon scent. Reegan. Slowly, my eyelids fluttered open. His eyes were hooded but they were boring into me with an intensity that was startling. His lips were set in a thin line and his face was hard, making me want to reach out and stroke his cheek to soften it. I couldn’t read the emotions swirling in his eyes but I knew one thing- this wasn’t a Reegan I had met yet. That thought was both terrifying and intriguing. He moved so swiftly, I barely had a chance to register it before I found myself sitting in his lap. His arms locked around me like a vice, as if he was afraid I would disappear if he loosened his hold on me. His nose was buried in my hair at the back of my neck and I felt my whole bod
Kat’s POV Reegan's head dropped to my shoulder and he turned to nuzzle into me, breathing heavily. One arm was still snaked under my ass, holding me up as he reached the other hand up to release my restraints. He brought that arm down to wrap around my back in an attempt to hold me against his chest but I wasn’t having it. Straightening my legs, I forced him to let me stand and wedged my hands between us to push him away. Hurt flashed in his eyes but he quickly looked away, unlocking the closet door and walking out. I heard water running in the bathroom where he was probably cleaning himself up. I hurriedly grabbed my clothes and got dressed, clutching my torn blouse together with my hand. My only thought was to get away from him as fast as possible. A playful “punishment” that I consented to was one thing, but this was something else entirely. I was angry and I needed time to process it. How dare he use me like that to soothe his own emotional insecurities. Sure, I could have u
*Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature. Ryan’s POV That’s it, time’s up! I had been trying to give her some space. I knew she didn’t want to see me after how I treated her but I couldn’t wait anymore. I needed her to let me make things right, to let me apologize. I was stressed and took it out on her. She deserved so much better than that. I just hoped she would give me the chance to prove I could do better. Be better. Reegan hadn’t left her side since he got home. He had been so pissed when he arrived but I knew that was just his way of covering for the fact he was worried sick. I could see his wolf surfacing with the need to see his mate was safe and unharmed. Since he hadn’t been the one to upset her this time, I thought maybe it would help her calm down to have some time alone with him. But now, my wolf and I needed her too. I walked with silent footsteps down the hall to her room, being careful not to wake her if she was still sleeping. Even in th
Reegan’s POV Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I knew this would happen eventually. I would slip up and let my mate see that side of me, the dark side I never wanted her to see. Now she would be disgusted by me and never want me to touch her again. I didn’t blame her. I was disgusted by myself too. Even my wolf was pissed at me. “You hurt mate! You fucking asshole!” He hissed at me as we left her at her bedroom door. I knew he was right but I couldn’t give him the satisfaction of admitting it just yet. Besides, he had been just as upset as I was by her disappearing act today. “You’re fucking one to talk!” I bit back at him. “You knew how I was feeling, how badly I wanted to dominate her. To feel in control. And you felt the exact same way, funneling your thoughts into me, spurring me on.” “Of course I did! I’m a dominant Alpha. I like control. Mate is ours and we need to be able to protect her. But I’m possessive, not cruel!” He barked at me, and his words broke me even more. He was right,
