Sorry for the late update! I appreciate your patience. Thanks so much for reading!
Mallory’s POV "I love hearing you laugh and seeing that beautiful smile light up your face. I love it even more when I have something to do with putting it there.” Cary's warm breath on my ear made me shudder involuntarily. He was so close. Much, much too close. My breathing hitched as Cary’s massive frame loomed over me. A spike of fear tore through me, though I knew he would never hurt me physically. It was actually that knowledge that scared me. I felt so safe with his arms around me, with any of the triplets if I was being honest with myself. Just like I’d felt safe spending the night in his arms last night. What scared me even more was that a part of me liked his nearness. His bergamot and cinnamon scent hung thick in the air around us, sending a jolt of pleasurable tingles right between my thighs. I hated that I had that reaction to him and I hated even more that he knew it. I needed to get away from him before my arousal flooded the whole room but he had me trapped. “Wh-
Colton's POV Fucking torture! That's what the entire day had been. The minute Mallory walked in the house my wolf had been on edge. Even in my office with the door closed, he could pick up her scent from three floors down. Every delicious, mouthwatering note of her fragrance. Then there was the sound of her laughter. That musical lilt that never failed to make my heart sing and my cock ache. Kai was riding me hard, jealous of his brothers and pushing me to join them. I couldn't say I blamed him. I was jealous too. But I pushed back, refusing to be led by my oversexed wolf. Until I couldn't refuse anymore. “Okay! I'll go see what they're up to. But we're just looking!” I bargained. "We weren't invited and I'm not going to invite myself to join like some loser!" "Not good enough!” Kai rumbled. “Need to taste her again!” “We can't and you know it! I committed to Darcy and I will not betray her trust!” I argued. Kai bared his fangs at me, not liking my response. It was the same
Nathan's POV Night, my wolf, had been on edge all day knowing Mallory was with at least two of the Black Moon Alpha triplets. It didn't matter to him that she wasn't our fated mate. He'd considered her his since the first day we laid eyes on her. We were exact opposites, my wolf and I. That was something I'd always prided myself on, the way we complimented each other perfectly. Night took no prisoners, held nothing back, whereas I tended towards the more reserved end of the spectrum. Admittedly, I was a much better Alpha with him than without him. When it came to Mallory though, we rarely saw eye to eye. We wanted her with the same passionate abandon, revered her with the same awestruck wonder. But I understood what he didn't, that just because we wanted her didn't mean we could have her. Our differing attitudes meant I spent a great deal of time and energy holding him back when all he wanted in the world was to claim her, to make her his in every sense of the word. A difficul
Mal's POV “Goddess Damn it! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!” I screamed to myself once I was safely within the confines of my room. Thankfully mom wasn't home to witness my pathetically infantile meltdown. The last thing I needed was a witness, let alone her genuine yet misguided attempt to fix anything and everything that made me unhappy. I loved her dearly, but contrary to every parent's popular belief, she did not have all the answers. “I should have stayed at the academy.” I muttered aloud. “No you shouldn't.” A disembodied voice answered me. Fucking fantastic! I really was losing my fucking mind and it was starting with auditory hallucinations. “You're funny!” The voice laughed, a high-pitched, tinkling sound, like bells chiming. “Okay, I'll bite. Apparently my subconscious feels I need this imaginary conversation. So . . . why shouldn't I have stayed at the academy? Everything was perfect there. I was respected, capable. I knew my place. And let's not forget, I had the perfect boy
Mallory’s POV “Wh-, what?” I sputtered at Cary’s offer. “You can’t-, I can’t-, I’m not-” “Breathe, Mal.” Clay coached, urging me to follow his lead. “Mate or not, you’re the only woman my wolf will ever allow on his back. There will never be anyone for us but you, Mal. No mate coming for her pound of flesh because you took the first ride on our wolves so don’t let that stop you.” Cary added reassuringly. I looked at them both warily, disbelief written all over my face. But the idea of flying through the forest at the speed of a wolf had always been a dream I couldn’t wait to make a reality. I only had a couple weeks to wait for my own wolf but something told me I’d end up having a nervous breakdown before that day arrived. ”Okay, let’s do it!” I finally agreed. “That’s our girl!” Clay exclaimed triumphantly, gathering me up in his arms and twirling me around. As soon as Clay set me back on my feet, Cary swept them out from under me, carrying me against him as he flew down t
Colton’s POV “You know, all this work will still be here tomorrow. You don’t have to finish it all in one go. I thought we were actually going to spend some time together tonight” Darcy wheedled from her perch on the edge of my desk. “And we will, Darc. I promise. Just give me five more minutes, okay?” I tried bargaining with her. I really did have a shit ton of work to do. But the truth of the matter was, until Darcy had strolled in here a few minutes ago reminding me of my promise to spend the evening with her, I hadn’t been working at all. Hadn’t been able to focus on anything all day except the way Mallory looked in that short little red dress, the way her body felt against mine when she ran into me, and the absolutely infuriating urge I felt to bury my face between her silky thighs and find out if her pussy tasted as heavenly as her lips. The ringing of my phone earned a low growl from Darcy and a shocking dose of stark reality for me. I glanced at the screen to identify
Mallory’s POV “Mate!” “Mate!” “Mate!” Colton and Kai spoke the word first. Then his brother’s along with their wolves. My wolf cocked her head, taking in the three men in all their naked glory, their hulking frames, six foot four inches of solid, rippling muscles and the long, thick cocks straining heavily between their legs. “Mmm!” She purred. “Mine!” “Definitely Mmm!” I returned, caught up in the throbbing of the new bond pulsing between us. But before I could continue to ogle all those hard lines and ridges, perfectly carved V-lines and deliciously hard cocks the Goddess had gifted just for me, they closed in around me. I felt their hands everywhere, gliding affectionately through my fur. My wolf’s chest rumbled, a sound much more suggestive than I would have thought an animal capable of. “What’s your name, beautiful girl?” Cary’s wolf, Roan, asked through his human. “Raven. My name is Raven, mates.” She projected in their heads. “Raven.” They repeated reverently, in
Mallory’s POV “My love,” Luna Erika put her hand on the Alpha’s arm, his mouth closing against the words he was about to speak in answer to my question. “We will get to all that. But first, if I’m not mistaken, we have something to celebrate.” “And what might that be?” He looked at his wife adoringly, completely capitulating to her. “Boys,” Luna addressed her sons, “Am I right? Is Mallory your fated mate?” Clay and Cary crowded me from each side, wrapping their arms around me. I could feel their joy buzzing through the bond. A joy reflected in Luna’s beaming smile. Mom sucked in a gasp, nearly sobbing with happiness, and Alpha’s mouth spread into a pleased grin. The atmosphere in the room went from apprehensive to elated in the span of a heartbeat. But in the same amount of time, Luna noticed the one thing I didn’t want to discuss, that one of her boys was not so enthusiastic about our bond. I would not have wanted to be on the receiving end of the death glare she shot at h
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
