Colt’s POV “Colt, thank-” Clay started to thank me but I cut him off. “Both of you, get out! Now!” I growled at them. They just nodded and left without a word. They both knew better than to challenge me when I was pissed. But I had nobody to blame but myself. “Fuck!” I shouted, punching the wall as soon as they left the room. My knuckles were bleeding but I didn’t bother to clean them, just letting the blood drip onto the carpet. What the fuck was wrong with me? My brothers had at least one thing right. I was feeling out of control and I hated it! Why did I tell her she had to keep training the pack with us? She was giving me the perfect out, offering to stay away from us and I should have taken it. But I couldn’t. I hated the thought of not seeing her everyday, not having her close to me. My wolf snarled at me for even thinking about letting her go. When she came storming into my office earlier, Darcy had been trying to get my attention, even climbing into my lap when I
Mallory’s POV My mind was completely blank. All I could do was taste and feel the man holding me in his arms and kissing me passionately. It felt like his hands were everywhere at once, roaming my curves, and he tasted like dark chocolate and cherries. I never wanted it to end. An echo of a memory broke through, of this same man touching me intimately. But that had been a fantasy, and this was . . . so much more. It was full of fire and lust and passion and need. I’d never been kissed like this before and it terrified me that I might never be again. When Colt finally pulled his lips from mine, I whimpered quietly at the loss. He chuckled softly before moving on to kiss the sensitive spot behind my ear, then nipped and sucked his way down my neck to my shoulder. I knew he was leaving marks but I would worry about that later. It never even crossed my mind to refuse when he returned his lips to mine and slid his hands under my thighs to lift me up and wrap my legs around his wais
Cary’s POV “Where the fuck was she?” I asked as my brothers and I grabbed our gear and headed off the training field. It was a rhetorical question. I knew they didn’t have an answer or they would have told me the first twenty times I’d asked that morning. Mallory hadn’t shown up to help lead the workout and no one seemed to know where she was. I’d tried calling her phone several times but it just went straight to voicemail. I even asked a few of the warriors I’d seen her hang out with before but they didn’t know either. I knew she wasn’t thrilled that Colt had denied her request to work elsewhere but she’d been pissed before and still showed up to training. Besides, it was a direct command from her future Alpha. That wasn’t something easily ignored. I was speed walking my way back to the packhouse with Clay right on my heels. All I wanted was to shower and go find the little wolf who’d been consuming my thoughts and haunting my dreams all day and night. Colton was following be
Nathan’s POV I was pacing back and forth in my office while I waited for Mallory to arrive in my territory. I knew the guards would mind-link me as soon as she crossed the border but I couldn’t stop myself from checking with them to ask if they’d seen her yet. She’d seemed upset when she called earlier to ask if she could visit and it was making me nervous. The last time I’d seen her, when I visited Black Moon, I could tell something was bothering her. But rather than talk to me about it, she sent me away. She’d never done that before and I didn’t know what to make of it. Things had been so simple when we met at the academy and I’d visited her there. It seemed like since she’d gone home, everything had started to change. Mallory never talked to me much about what life was like for her in Black Moon. She would tell me stories about her mom and I could tell they were very close. She even talked about her Alpha and Luna like they were part of the family, but she never mentioned their
Mallory’s POV “What the fuck?” Nathan growled when I told him what the triplets said to me. “Well, really only the younger two. Colt never said anything at the time, But then he kissed me so I thought he wanted me too but then he yelled at me and told me I was disrespectful to Darcy so I don’t really know what to think.” I rushed out, sharing all my confusing thoughts. “He fucking kissed you?” Nathan roared. “I’m going to fucking kill him. How dare he touch you without your permission!” “Nathan, I can take care of myself. I threw him out of my house and told him to stay the fuck away from me. I don’t think he’ll bother me again.” I tried to reassure him. I watched as he worked to slow his breathing and calm the fury simmering in him. He listened attentively while I told him how they’d used their parents’ generosity in sending me to Luna training as an excuse to get me to spend time with them. He couldn’t help the snarls and growls that escaped as I recounted how Colton showed
Mallory’s POV As I drove back to Black Moon territory, I kept my mind firmly fixed on the amazing day Nathan and I had shared. I refused to think about the triplets and what their declaration to me might mean for our future encounters. What I shared with Nathan was too perfect to let some inexplicable shift in attitude from my former tormentors ruin it. Today was a perfect reminder of that fact. Nathan had always been the ideal boyfriend. Kind and considerate, attentive and sweet. But something shifted between us today. I had dreaded telling him the truth of what I let happen between my future Alphas and me but he had taken it in stride. Not only that, but he actually displayed a possessiveness I’d never seen in him before. I never felt unsure of his feelings for me, but he was always so laid back, never overreacting when other men would flirt with me. I had to wonder why that had changed so suddenly. But then again, I’d never kissed any of those other men before. But more tha
Clay’s POV After a lot of arguing and a shit-ton of bad words exchanged, we all agreed to drive to Mallory’s house to apologize. Since we couldn’t agree on a feasible way to do so, we decided just to show up and wing it, rip the bandaid off so to speak. But here we were, about to watch her walk away from us, and Colt was the only one who’d managed an apology. A fucked-up one, but an apology nonetheless. I couldn’t let her leave without saying what I came here to say. I knew Cary wanted to say his peace too but I was less confident his apology would be any better than Colton’s. He was too much of a cocky bastard for his own good most of the time. Still, I had to try to make her listen. “Mallory, wait!” I clamored after her, the words tumbling out with no plan in mind. “What do you want now, Clay? It’s been a long day and I’m tired.” She really did sound exhausted. “We’ve already told you what we want. You.” I reminded her. “And we’re not going to just give up because you kee
Mallory’s POV “Goddess damn it!” I cursed, punching my pillow as I turned onto my stomach, trying, and failing miserable, to find a comfortable position. I’d been lying in bed for the last hour since my one-sided conversation with Clay, and sleep still eluded me. One-sided, because apparently I’d been struck dumb by his nearness, shaking like a shy school-girl standing too close to her first crush. What a colossal fucking disaster! What was it about those three men that got under my skin and so obstinately refused to be evicted? It had literally been less than an hour since I’d left Nathan, having professed my undying love and promised to be faithful. Then I came home to find them in my house and not only did I not throw them out forcefully, but I kissed one of them. Again! “Fuck!” I screamed into my pillow, angry with myself for being so weak. If I could manage to control my traitorous body, I might have a chance of resisting them. But the moment they got close to me, my body
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. I hope to begin publishing the first few chapters in early January and hope you'll join me for the ride. Much love, Cara
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
