Kaden I prowl through the halls of the packhouse like a caged beast, barely containing my anguish. She left me. My mate left me. I take a sip of whiskey hoping the burn as it slides down my throat will eclipse the gaping wound in my chest where my heart used to be. It doesn’t.“Fuuuuccck!” I launch my glass at the wall, watching the crystal shatter into a thousand tiny shards, then throw my head back and howling in agony. Her scent, her smile, the silky softness of her skin under my rough hands, it’s all I can think about. I want to hunt her down, take back what’s mine. But I know I’m not what she wants right now. Why is this happening to me? Just yesterday, I finally had everything I ever wanted, everything I needed to be truly happy. My mate didn’t just accept me, she took the initiative, made me hers irrevocably. And now, she wants nothing to do with me. Well that’s not true. I can feel her longing for me through our bond. But I can also feel her shame and humiliation, her wor

Declan This whole day has gone to shit so fast it makes my head spin. When I first scented Olivia and knew she was mine, I didn’t think I could possibly feel more gutted than I did in that moment, knowing I’d never deserve her. But I was wrong. Finding out she’s lost her memories, having to describe to her in excruciating detail all the ways we failed her, that’s one hundred times worse. Tearing her heart to shreds all over again, but this time feeling her heartache through the bond, it made me physically ill. Taking the boys to dinner was supposed to be a chance to set the whole disaster aside for a little while and just enjoy being with them. Walking in on Kaden looking way too cozy in a private booth with Ana, holding hands no less, was not part of the plan. The only thing stopping me from storming back in there and punching him in his stupid face is the fact that Olivia is two seconds from breaking down and I can’t leave her with the pups. “Rosebud, why don’t you hand Kellan to

Olivia “No!” Declan shouts, his panic thrumming through the bond, driving my anxiety to match his own. “You can’t sever a bond, Liv! It could kill you! I can’t lose you so don’t even think about it. “I don’t know what happened between Kaden and Ana tonight, but when I went back inside the restaurant tonight, he looked ready to kill her. From what I know of her, I wouldn’t put it past Ana to have set him up.” “I don’t know what to do, Dec.” I wilt like a dying flower in front of him, all the life seeping out of me. “I don’t know how to feel. “If I could remember the time I spent with you before I lost my memories, could remember all the ways he proved his commitment to me, maybe I could believe this is all a misunderstanding. But all I have to go on are the facts in front of me. “She’s living in this pack, carrying his child, and as soon as I leave, he runs to her. What am I supposed to do with that? I don’t want to let him hurt me anymore.”“It’s not all you have to go on, though

Kyle I’m in over my head. I think I’ve known that for a while but my latest encounter with Alpha Xavier abolished any lingering question. He’s going to have Glass Lake at any cost and he’s going to use Olivia to do it. I thought I could manipulate him into letting me keep her as long as she gave him intel on how to exploit the pack's weaknesses. I’d get Hester to help me get answers out of her and pass them to Xavier without him ever laying eyes on her. I didn’t count on him sending one of his vile rogue lackeys to retrieve her. All Xavier really wants is her and her pups in his possession so Kaden will hand over the pack without a fight. He was never really going to let me have her and I was a fool to believe otherwise. Now, I have no option but to take her and run. I just have to find her first. Fucking Hester! She's more trouble than she's worth. Not once has she ever done what I asked of her. All she ever manages is to wreak havoc wherever she goes. But I was desperate to keep

Kaden “I love you, Kaden. Maybe that’s stupid of me. I’ve forgotten so much, it feels like we just met. But it’s how I feel so I won’t take it back.” My little flower’s emerald eyes shine with unshed tears, so much adoration and devotion reflected in them. But also pleading, begging me not to break her heart, and it guts me to know I deserve her fear. “I love you both,” she takes Declan’s hand, “and I’m done running. Maybe it took losing my memories to stop letting the past steal my future, to realize that none of us are who we used to be and all that matters is who we are now. Fated mates, parents to two wonderful pups, family.” I fall to my knees at her feet, wrapping arms around her waist and burying my face in her soft belly. “I love you so much, little flower. I didn’t know I was capable of loving someone this much. Thank you for accepting me, “I’ll never deserve you, but I’ll spend the rest of my life worshiping you like the goddess you are. I’ll never let anyone disrespect

Declan “Rosebud, stay in the car!” I bark the order but she’s already climbing out of the car at the sound of Kaden’s distress. “Fuck!” I growl, jumping out after her. “What happened?” She gasps, her eyes wide as she takes in the injured warrior. She’s patting Kaden down, like he might be bleeding just from standing too close to the other man. Her touch has the added benefit of calming her Alpha. But his wolf is still at the surface, letting out a rumbling growl as he pulls her into his arms and breathes in her warm apple scent. “Take her home, Beta!” Kaden uses his Alpha command, all business now. “Rogues attacked near the east border. If they managed to get that deep into the pack, they could be anywhere. It’s not safe out here.”“How the fuck did they get in? There’s no gate back there!” I question the warrior. “Our border wall is solid! We already repaired the spot where Olivia climbed over. There is no way in except through the front gate and no one sounded the alarm.”“Shit

Kaden By the time I reach the east border where the fighting occurred, the rogues have been put down by my men. Unfortunately, not before they slaughtered the elderly couple whose home sits closest to the border. The carnage is so horrific, I have to pull my shirt over my nose to cover the stench of blood in the air. “Get this cleaned up!” I command the few warriors with me. “I don't want the family to see this.” I have no idea how the rogues managed to get in but I’m pretty sure I know who sent them. More and more, I’m convinced Alpha Xavier is after my pack and he’ll stop at nothing to get it, including using his own daughter. The problem is, I have no proof and the Council would never sanction a declaration of war without it. Knowing there is nothing more I can do here, I head for my parents’ house, anxious to be with Olivia and our pups. Declan and I should be spoiling our pregnant mate, not battling rogues and burying corpses. No sooner does that thought cross my mind than t

Olivia “They’re gone.” Auntie Kat says and it takes me a minute to process what she said. They can’t be gone! That can’t be real! An agonized scream erupts from my chest when it finally sinks in that my boys are missing. I collapse in Declan’s arms, soaking his skin with my tears. He does his best to comfort me but I can feel his fear and his fury so fierce he’s vibrating with it. Kat breaks down, unable to continue, so Kaden’s dad takes over. “We followed his scent but it just vanished. We’ve already got men out looking for them, including Rhett and your uncle Dillon. We’ll find them.”But somehow, I know they won’t find them. I feel like I’m falling to pieces, crumbling from the inside out. Then suddenly I feel a jolt, like a bolt of lightning firing through every cell in my body. Sparks like fireworks fill my vision, then fizzle out and with them, everything goes dark. My eyes flutter open again and a tsunami of memories threaten to drown me. And with them, the full spectrum of

Brynlee Who am I? It’s the last thing I ask myself before I fall asleep and the first thing that comes to mind the minute I wake up. Who am I now that the person I used to be no longer exists. Sweet, innocent Brynlee is gone. She died the moment Xavier cornered her in that coffee shop all those weeks ago, even if she didn’t know it yet. But when he, and then his son Xander, put their hands on me, brutalized me in unspeakable ways, there was no coming back from that. No, sweet, innocent Brynlee, the girl everyone loved, who never put a toe out of line, she burned to ash in those moments. But what’s awoken in her place is something I can’t begin to wrap my head around. Contemplating a question I can’t stop asking myself but that has no easy answer is hard. Going to sleep and never waking up would be easier. But I don't. I won’t. For them. Everything I do is for them, the people that love me. My family who would never recover from my loss. A sentence I can’t impose upon them, even if
Tryst Of Fate: Caught Between The Alpha And Beta Ch. 120 Epilogue
Olivia "That's the last box," I announce, setting down a container marked 'Isla's stuffed animals' in what will become the nursery of our new packhouse. The sprawling structure sits perfectly between Glass Lake and Crimson Moon territories, a physical representation of the bridges we've built between our packs.Through the window, I watch Ryan and Reegan directing the placement of outdoor furniture while Kat and Declan’s mom, Isabella, supervise the unpacking of the kitchen. Having Kaden's and Declan’s parents move in with us feels right – the pups adore their grandparents, and after everything we've faced, keeping family close has become even more important.My own parents chose to stay in their home, a decision I understand completely. Brynlee needs the familiar comfort of those walls right now, needs the safety of the place she's known her whole life while she heals. The haunted look in my sister's eyes is slowly fading, but her recovery will take time. Time, and probably vengeance

OliviaSunlight streams through our bedroom windows as I drift awake between my mates. Every inch of my body tingles with pleasant soreness, marked and claimed exactly as it always should have been. Kaden's chest rises and falls steadily against my back while Declan's arms wrap around me from the front, both of them holding me close even in sleep.Last night was . . . transformative. The "do-over" of that pivotal moment didn't just create new memories, it healed something deep inside me I hadn't even realized was still wounded. Every word they spoke, every touch they bestowed, every mark they left replaced old pain with new joy.Memories of last night flood through me, making me shiver between them. The way Kaden's voice broke when he finally said the words he should have said years ago: "My wolf has been reaching for you since that first moment." How Declan's hands trembled as he traced reverent patterns on my skin, whispering "Our missing piece, always our missing piece."Kaden stirs

Declan I never considered myself much of a voyeur, never saw the appeal of watching others have all the fun. But with Liv, I could watch her in the throes of pleasure, her gorgeous body writhing in ecstasy all damn day. The only thing better is bringing her that pleasure myself. And now, it’s my turn. "My beautiful Luna," I breathe, crawling over her body where she reclines against Kaden’s chest. "I was lost without you, even when I didn't know what I was missing. Every instinct told me to protect you, to keep you close, but I fought it because I thought I had to." Kaden lifts her thighs, placing them on either side of his, opening her wide for me. Her pussy lips are swollen, her clit peeking out from under its hood. And a mixture of her slick and Kaden’s cum drips from her cunt. The sight is fucking erotic. "The day you left Glass Lake, something in me broke.” I whisper against her lips, kissing them softly and swallowing her moans when I scoop their cum onto my fingers and push

Kaden Olivia writhes beneath me as I eat her out like a man possessed. I lap at her folds, not wanting to miss a single drop of the delicious juices she’s making just for me. I won’t stop until she’s squirting all over my face. But not yet. I feel her struggling to focus as my tongue moves between her legs. She thinks I’m teasing her, taking my time, and it’s making her desperate. That’s how I always want her, desperate for me. But it’s not my intention to torture her, not tonight anyway. "I should have accepted you the moment you told us," I breathe against her skin, my warm breath over her sensitive nub making her cry out. "The way my wolf reached for you, the emptiness I felt when you left . . .” I trail off so I can circle her entrance with the tip of my tongue, missing the delicious taste of her. “I was so caught up in what I thought I needed that I missed what was right in front of me."I suck her hard little clit into my mouth and flick it with my tongue. She trembles benea
Tryst Of Fate: Caught Between The Alpha And Beta Ch. 116 Tell Us Again
Kaden Listening to Olivia confront Kyle twists something in my chest. Her words about those lonely years, about crying herself to sleep knowing we were so close yet couldn't see her, they haunt me. Even though she's forgiven us, even though our mate bonds now pulse strong and true, the guilt gnaws at me."You're brooding," Declan observes as we wait for her outside the prison."I'm thinking," I correct him, an idea forming. "About that horrible fucking night. The first time she tried to tell us about the bond."Understanding dawns in his eyes. I don’t need a mate bond to feel his own regret surge, to see it in his eyes. "The ballroom, the night before we left for training.""We should have recognized her then. Should have felt what she was trying to tell us." The memory of her face that night, hopeful and terrified, makes my wolf whine. "What if we could do it over?"Declan raises an eyebrow. "You want to recreate that night?""But do it right this time. Give her the response she dese

Olivia “Where are you off to, rosebud?” Declan steps out of the office doorway just as I’m walking by. I was hoping to sneak out without having this conversation but apparently fate isn’t on my side today. I sigh, knowing I can’t lie to him and knowing he won’t like my answer. “I’m going down to the cells to see Kyle.” I answer honestly. “What did you say? Because I’m sure I must have heard you wrong.” Kaden’s gaze meets mine as Declan ushers me inside the office, anxiety radiating off of both men. "I need to see him," I say quietly, watching Kaden and Declan's expressions darken. "I need answers.""Like hell you do," Declan growls, pacing the room. "Kyle worked with Xavier, Olivia. He was part of everything that's happened. You know this. Why would you want to see him after everything he’s done?"Kaden's silence is almost worse than Declan's anger. Through our mate bond, I feel his rage warring with the need to protect me from more pain."He saved my life," I remind them softl

Olivia"I want to forgive them, my parents" I say quietly, curled between Kaden and Declan on our oversized couch after putting the kids to bed. "I need to."Kaden's fingers thread through my hair while Declan's thumb traces circles on my palm. Through our bonds, I feel their immediate support, though tinged with protective concern."Are you sure?" Declan asks, his voice gentle. "I know things have gotten better between you. But after how they dismissed your pain, can you really forgive them completely?""That's why I need to do this." I lean into Kaden's touch, drawing strength from his steady presence. "Watching Brynlee fight her way back, seeing how fragile life can be . . . I don't want to carry this weight anymore. And with Hester's chaos spell possibly influencing them . . .""It doesn't excuse everything," Kaden points out quietly. "Spell or no spell, they should have believed their daughter.""No, it doesn't excuse it. But maybe it explains some of it." I sit up, looking at bot

Kaden “I’m so sick and fucking tired of this shit!” I throw myself down in my office chair while Declan watches my tantrum with amusement. “Weeks, Dec! It’s been weeks we’ve done nothing but try to track Xander and we’re no closer to finding him. I miss Liv and the pups.” “Same.” Declan admits. “But what choice do we have? With what Brynlee shared, it’s more important than ever to find him.” "We've been neglecting her," I say, watching Declan pace our office like the caged wolf he is. "All this focus on tracking Xander, securing the territory, it’s our responsibility. But so is taking care of our Luna, our family.""She understands." Declan stops at the window, his shoulders tight. "But you're right. When was the last time we had a moment just for us? No pack business, no threats, no interruptions?"Through our restored mate bonds, I feel Olivia's exhaustion. She's been splitting her time between pack duties, the children, and visiting Brynlee. Always putting everyone else first. I
