Charlie’s POV Sex had never been a positive experience for me, but every time Nathan touched me, my body lit up like the fourth of July. Flames licking my skin and sparks flying everywhere our bodies connected. I craved his hands on me like my next breath, a soul-deep need that I couldn’t deny. Feeling the heavy weight of his muscular frame pinning me to the mattress should have terrified me, but the panic never came. Instead I felt anchored, safe from the storm swirling in my own mind. I felt cherished, protected, maybe even loved. “I need to feel you inside me, Alpha.” I whined then pressed the flat of my tongue to his beaded nipple. “And you will. But not before I’ve got you good and ready for me.” His voice was deep, gravelly, and so sexy it made my toes curl. “I’m already wet! So wet for you!” I argued. “Hmm. I think I need to judge that for myself.” I could feel the teasing grin in his voice. He crawled down my body, lifting my cami and leaving hot, open-mouthed kisse
Nathan’s POV Sliding my throbbing length inside Charlie’s tight pussy was the best experience of my life, hands down. We fit together like two puzzle pieces, meant to be locked together, connected for all eternity. And I’d never felt anything so amazing in my life. But despite a physical pleasure so intense, I felt like I might spontaneously combust, it was so much more than that. Watching Charlie shatter, fall apart in my arms then trust me to put her back together, that was the real ecstasy. I couldn’t wait to do it over and over again, a plan my little mate seemed to agree with. “Where are you going little lamb?” She was crawling down my chest, inching toward my cock, already at attention and ready for round two. “You promised.” She reminded me with a pout and a pointed look at my slick-coated cock. “Yes, I did.” I smirked at her needy whine. “Go on then. I’m all yours.” A huge smile spread across her face and my heart thudded heavily in my chest. I could live on that smile
Charlie’s POV Nathan wanted to mark me. Me. The girl from an enemy pack who had nothing to offer but some mind-mangling head trauma and a small side of half-truths I’d yet to reveal. It was almost unbelievable and way too good to be true. I told him I needed time to trust his feelings for me were real and that was partially true. A man like Nathan didn’t do anything he didn’t want to do, bond or not. But my battered heart still lurched to a halt at the thought he’d choose me when women like Mallory were his usual class, far above my own. But more than any of that, I couldn’t let him bite me without telling him my whole truth. Every last excruciating, despicable detail. I might have done a lot I wasn’t proud of in my life, but even I wasn’t disgusting enough to take Nathan’s future from him without him knowing exactly who he was bonding with. So while I genuinely was looking forward to all the ways he wanted to show me how much he wanted me, something I’d never once been in my
Nathan’s POV So much for that good night’s sleep I was hoping for the night before our court appearance. I thought a nice hot shower after working up a filthy sweat with my little lamb would put me right to sleep like it usually did. But instead, I was wide awake, watching her sleep and wondering how the hell she wormed her way under my skin so deep I'd give her anything she asked me for. Because the thing she asked me for was the last thing in the world I ever would have agreed to in my right mind. Apparently when it came to Charlie, sanity was a thing of the past. I still couldn’t believe I’d let her win our most recent argument. “I want to go with you to the hearing.” She’d mentioned one day over lunch. “No! Charlie, we’ve had this conversation before. It’s too dangerous. I can’t risk your safety by dragging you into the middle of our fight.” I lectured her in the sternest tone I could manage without an outright bark. “I know it’s dangerous! That's why I need to go. I’ll
Nathan’s POV “Get your fucking hands off my mate!” I roared. But the man accosting Charlie just chuckled. “Mate? Charlie-girl is your mate? Oh, that’s fucking hilarious!” He laughed in my direction then turned back to her. “The Hazelwood Whore snagged herself an Alpha for a fated mate. Does he know you already had an Alpha? And how much you loved it when Quade was willing to share?” My blood was boiling in my veins. My wolf was threatening to come out, pushing his claws through my fingertips. My vision was a red haze of fury. It was bad enough he was touching my mate with his foul hands but shaming her for abuse she couldn’t escape just earned him a death sentence. Charlie’s face was a sickly pale color and her eyes were filled with terror. I would do anything to erase that look from her face. And this was all my fucking fault. She would’ve been pissed at me for making her stay home but I’d rather have her angry than hurt. “I’m going to give you one chance to leave here ali
Charlie’s POV Anguish consumed me. I felt the pain of Nathan’s rejection all the way to my bones. Packing was a slow endeavor between the pain in my chest taht left me breathless and my muscles aching against my wolf’s attempts to fight me. The fist squeezing the life out of my heart hadn’t let up since the moment Nathan shoved me into the car, refusing to even look at me. And now I could feel the last dregs of blood ebbing away, leaving nothing but a dry, brittle lump in my chest. Unfortunately, that didn’t stop the stabbing pain slicing through it. I actually wished someone would open my chest and tear the damn thing out if it meant the misery went with it. Nathan had been my every dream come true. He’d been everything I imagined every night when I closed my eyes and pictured what my mate would be like . I clung to the promise of my dream guy on those nights when I had no idea how I'd survive another day. But the problem with dreams was you always had to wake up. To have e
Nathan’s POV “How fast can we move all the supplies from Winter Woods to Hazelwood?” I asked Mikhail, my Beta, thinking maybe focusing on work would be the cure I was searching for. . “It’s going to take some time, Alpha. All our trucks are packed to capacity with household goods for our pack members.” He informed me. “That’s not good enough!” I barked. “How am I supposed to feed two packs worth of people with only one pack’s food supply?” I picked up a useless ceramic knick-knack someone had left on my desk and hurled it across the room, watching it shatter against the wall as if all my pent up frustration would be demolished right along with it. Unfortunately, I’d need to launch about a thousand more baubles against that wall to even scratch the surface of the resentment brewing in my chest. “I’m sorry Alpha!” Mikhail jumped to apologize. “I’ll reach out to our allies to find more trucks we can borrow. And I’ll ask our Omegas to pack a few days worth of meals for each fam
Charlie’s POV “Shit, shit, shit! What are we going to do, Charlie? Fuck! This can’t be happening!” We were supposed to be getting ready for the party Brad demanded we attend as his escorts but Allison was too busy freaking out. “We’re going to finish getting ready and go to the party as planned. The rest I’m still working on.” I answered truthfully. Well, mostly truthfully. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t freaking the fuck out too. But saying that out loud wouldn’t help Allison or her parents. We had to play along until I could think of a way out of this mess. I knew coming here would be a risk but I hadn’t expected the shit to hit the fan so soon after I arrived. Then again, Allison had no idea her parents had been taking help from one of Quade’s enforcers, a man almost as depraved as the Alpha himself. We’d walked into a neck deep pile of poo, as my dad used to say. Every cell in my body had screamed at me to run and never look back. But I couldn't do that to Allison or her
Hello Lovely Readers! Once again I want to thank you all for supoorting my work! I hope you enjoyed reading Resisting The Alpha Triplets and Her Heartroken Alpha as much as I did writing them. I may not have time to respond to every comment and review, but I read them all and take every word to heart. So if you have time, please let me know what you though, either in the review or comments section. I would appreciate it so much! As for what comes next, I will be working on The Legends of Glass Lake Series which will focus on the next generation of the Glass Lake as well as their friends and allies' children from the Celtic Wolf Series. Book one is still untitled but will focus on Mason Cross and Elena Stone as well as introducing new character.

Charlie’s POV 20 Years Later “Oh little lamb,” Nathan cooed, pulling me into lap. “Do you want to talk about it?” He’d found me pouring over a photo album filled with pictures of Levi when he was little. I was sobbing hysterically and even his strong arms holding me tight didn’t help to stem the tears. I couldn’t believe my first born was already a man. And he was leaving us. “It’s not forever, love. He’ll be home before you know it. Maybe he’ll find her in the first pack territory he stops in and bring her straight back home!” He was trying to be uplifting but the reminder that my baby was old enough to find a mate just made me cry all the harder. At twenty years old, neither Levi nor his best friends, Parker and Carson Collins, had found their mates. At eighteen, none of them had been too fussed about it. Now two years later, Nathan and the Black Moon Alphas were all ready to retire but their heirs preferred to be mated before taking over their packs. So all three boys were
4 Months Later Julia’s POV “Just be glad you aren’t having three.” Mallory said as I groaned while trying to lower my heavily pregnant self into the nearest chair. “I was literally the size of a house by the end. My guys had to carry me everywhere. Even to the bathroom!” The shuddering grimace she made had me laughing until it strained the muscles in my belly and my chuckle ended as more of a grunt. Before I could blink, Nathan was there, rubbing my tummy in soothing circles and tucking a pillow behind my lower back. He was my ever-present shadow. I couldn’t so much as clear my throat without him clucking over me like a mother hen. “Looks like you aren’t faring much better.” Mallory observed. “I can’t even waddle to the bathroom in the middle of the night without him leaping out of bed and trying to rush me to the hospital.” I confirmed. Mallory just nodded, shooting me a knowing look. She shooed Nathan away, promising to call him if I needed anything and I was grateful. I
Nathan’s POV “Will you stop pacing?” Charlie complained as I wore a path through Dr. Mahon’s office. As soon as I’d gotten the message he wanted to see us, I’d bundled her up and stuffed her into the car, her protesting the whole way. She had wanted to wait a day to recover from her heat before leaving the comfort of our room but I’d insisted we come right away. If we were going to get bad news, I wanted to get ahead of it as soon as possible. “Sorry if I’m making you anxious, lamb. But where the hell is he? For someone who’s been calling us for days, demanding we see him ASAP, he’s taking his sweet damn time!” I’d meant to apologize but ended up growling instead. “Well since you insisted on showing up without even calling first, I’m guessing he’s with another patient. Don’t you think they deserve the same time and attention you’d want him to give me?” She chided. Duly chastised, I sank into the chair next to her and slipped my hand into hers, lacing our fingers together. A
Charlie’s POV The second Nathan bit me, the sparks between us intensified. It felt like fireworks shooting off all over my skin, leaving an intense pleasure behind that sent me hurtling over the edge of a cliff. I’d never felt such pure, perfect bliss. I heard myself scream as my orgasm rocked through me but it was only a vague awareness. Hearing was too much effort when all I wanted to do was feel. My pussy contracted around Nathan’s deliciously thick cock, tighter than it ever had. His hot cum splashed my walls, sending waves of ecstasy coursing through me with every spurt. My toes curled and my spine tingled but more than the physical pleasure, my heart soared, Because I could feel Nathan’s joy at claiming me deep in my bones. We belonged to each other forever and he was euphoric! I never knew it was possible for someone to love me that way, with a love that was pure, and true, and unshakable. But along with his elation were equal parts guilt and remorse. It would take some
Nathan’s POV Charlie’s heat was rising again. I could see it in the beautiful flush of her skin and the way she was starting to squirm. Every impulse drove me to reach out and touch her. But I wouldn’t. Not yet. This decision was too important to taint with heat-induced desire. “You want to mark me?” She was staring at me like I’d just asked her to volunteer as tribute in the Hunger Games. It destroyed me to see how terrified she was of tying herself to me but I couldn’t blame her. After the vile things I said to her, she couldn’t possibly trust my intentions. I could see the fear warring with raw carnal desire in her eyes and knew I only had moments to convince her to take a leap of faith with me before her heat took away any possibility of rational consent. “Please tell me I haven’t lost you, Charlie!” My voice was raspy, a heavy plea in my tone. “I know I accused you of lying, but you were only doing what life had forced you to do, protecting yourself because you’d never b
Charlie’s POV “Charlie, please calm down, lamb.” Nathan reached for me but I took a step back. “Stop calling me that! Where am I and why are you here?” I demanded. “Please come sit down. I’ll explain everything.” His tone was imploring and his eyes held so much pain, like it physically hurt him to watch me panic. “I don’t want-, aaagh!” a stomach cramp hit me so hard I cried out and buckled over, then a gush of slick ran down my legs. I looked up at Nathan, horrified. He was already at my side, lifting me in his arms and carrying me back to bed. I wanted to scream at him to put me down but his warmth was already seeping into my bones and the pain seemed to ease the longer he held me close. I almost whined when he set me on the bed, his body heat ebbing away. “Let me help you, love.” He said, climbing into the bed behind me and pulling my back tight to his chest. I was still wearing the scandalous dress Brad had given me for the party but someone had put a shirt over it.
Nathan’s POV Rage simmered in my veins as I held my lifeless mate in my arms. I clenched my jaw against the roar threatening to escape. I felt ripped in two between the urge to keep Charlie close while battling the need to go back to the party and rip that fucker’s head from his shoulders. “She’s breathing, right? Tell me she’s breathing!” Darcy whimpered next to me. “She is but it’s shallow. Her heartbeat is steady, though.” I assured her. “What’s happening in there, we can’t let that stand, Alpha!” Braden’s growl was a vicious promise of retribution. “I’ve already called the Black Moon Alphas. They’re assembling a team as we speak.” I told him. “My only regret is that I won’t be there to see it when they burn, but getting Charlie to safety is my priority right now.” “Can she make it home or do we need to detour?” He asked, his voice thick with concern. I knew he was struggling to hold it together. Knowing what was done to your mate and seeing the truth of it firsthand w
Charlie’s POV “Mine!” Nathan roared, storming over to me and the man who’d essentially paid for my company for the night, and not even with money but promises, because that’s how little I was worth. I had no idea what he was doing here but I knew it was his wolf’s instinct that drove him to claim me, not the man himself. He was done with me. He’d made that perfectly clear. Still, it hurt to see his handsome face so near and not be able to touch him so I turned away. “Do you know this man?” Hugh dug his fingers into my thigh in anger at the interruption and I bit back a wince. As far as he was concerned, he owned me. Anyone claiming otherwise was a threat to his percieved importance and he couldn’t allow that without repurcussions. Not to mention he’d deluded himself into thinking the other men were actually interested in the ridiculous jokes he was telling and he wasn’t the type to easily give up the attention. “No. Not any more.” I answered timidly. “I thought I did but I was w
