All Chapters of A Tangled Fate: Bound By Her Betas: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Sarah’s POV Kat left to help at the clinic as soon as our conversation ended. The thought of sneaking a sample of Mason and Finn’s DNA had me on edge and I was anxious to get it over with as soon as possible. But first, I had to find out where my boys were at the moment. “Hey, handsome! Are you still with the Alphas?” I linked Zayne before I chose a direction. “Hi princess! The fake meeting is actually over. I swear those two will do anything their Luna asks them to.” He linked back and I could sense the affectionate humor in his tone. “Speaking of Luna, how was your visit with Kat?” “It was good. She was just worried about me but I assured her I was fine. She had to run to the clinic. Where are you now? We can meet and go find Finn and Mason together.” I was hoping he had an idea where they might be, and I was hoping it wasn’t anywhere near Lauren! “Just come back to the room. We’re all here. Mason said his tummy was too full of pancakes and he needed to rest. He’s asleep in

Lauren’s POV I couldn’t believe my luck. It had to be a sign from the Goddess that things were meant to work out in my favor. It was like Selene was handing me Finn on a Silver platter. Finding the lab tech responsible for the paternity test results had been a bit of a challenge. But once I did, convincing him to ensure the results I wanted was easy. As fate would have it, he was slightly overweight with a pot belly and an unfortunate case of adult acne. A bit of flirting and a promise of more when the results were delivered were all it took to secure his cooperation. By the time I’d returned to the packhouse, I was on cloud nine. Even Finn’s cold attitude towards me couldn’t ruin my good mood. But that was before he’d shown up at my door, asking for Mason to spend the night with him, stating that he didn’t want to sleep alone. Apparently his mates had been called away and would be gone for Goddess only knew how long, leaving Finn behind to continue bonding with Mason. I could

Zayne’s POV Sarah slept fitfully in my arms as the plane touched down in Fae territory. We had been traveling most of the day and Sarah had cried through most of it until she finally succumbed to exhaustion. Even Kat’s attempts to cheer her up had fallen flat. Just before we boarded the plane, Finn had called to inform us of the test results he’d received. He was over the moon to learn that Mason was his and we were overjoyed as well, having already fallen in love with the pup regardless of his paternity. Sarah and I both tried to show our support and happiness for Finn but the news only made the separation harder. I was especially concerned when Sarah seemed to zone out, a faraway look in her eye. It was almost like she knew something the rest of us didn’t but was trying to hide it. She played it off, telling me she just wished we could be there to bond as a family, but I couldn’t shake the feeling there was more to it. I wanted to discuss it further, but the second I hung up the

Sarah’s POV “Finn has decided to go to Sacred Moon with Lauren and Mason. As Lauren’s mate.” I felt the impact of Zayne’s words like a physical blow. Was he trying to hurt me? Why would he say such a thing? “You're lying!” I spit at him. “He would never do that to me. To us. Why would you say that to me?” “Shhh! Princess, calm down.” Zayne pulled me into his lap and wrapped his arms tightly around me. “I promise it’s not what you think. He will just pretend to be her mate to convince her parents and stop them from coming for her and Mason. He believes it is the only way to prevent a war between packs and keep Mason safe. And I have to admit, I can’t think of a better idea.” “So you gave him your blessing already? The two of you just decided this without even talking to me?” I was livid! How could they leave me out of such an important decision? “It wasn’t like that, princess. All of this has taken its toll on you. We just didn’t want to interrupt what little rest you’ve been a

Lauren’s POV We had arrived at Sacred Moon territory earlier in the day and settled into the packhouse. My parents were out on pack business but expected back by evening. I had come to Finn’s room to invite him to dinner with my family, excited to introduce him to my parents. Unfortunately, per my usual bad timing, he was in the shower. I was about to leave when I heard his phone vibrate on the dresser. Curiosity getting the better of me, I picked it up to see that someone he called “Kitten” was calling. I could only assume it was his mate, Sarah. I let the call go to voicemail and was about to set the phone down when a brilliant idea occurred to me. Finding his phone had no passcode set, I quickly opened it and composed a text to her, all while listening carefully for the shower to turn off. I hit the send button, then as soon as the text went through, I deleted the message from his text thread. Next, I changed the number he had saved under “Kitten” to the number to an old pho
