I hope Holly is okay! And the twins should really put a gps tracker on that truck! Thanks for reading!
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
*Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature including BDSM/orgasm denial. 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,
Kat’s POV Time had flown by and before I knew it, I had been at Glass Lake for a month already. My mates and I had developed a sort of routine. We attended training together every morning and they had gotten much better about letting me spar with the other warriors, though they still hovered and growled anytime one of them hit me hard or knocked me down. It was something we unofficially agreed to disagree on. I knew they didn’t like it and they knew I would keep doing it anyway. After training, we had breakfast together with the gang, then they would go to work and I would go to the clinic to help out. Since Christian had responsibilities outside the women’s clinic, also serving as the head doctor and surgeon for the entire pack hospital, many days I would see all the patients myself. Sometimes another OB/GYN from a neighbor pack would come to help us out but he had his own pack she-wolves to take care of so he only came once a week. I was more than thankful though because it meant
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
