So satisfying to finally see Jenna get what she deserves! Thanks for reading!
*Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature. Reeganโ POV The week since bringing our little mate back home had passed in a blur. Aside from all the last minute ceremony preparations happening from dawn to dusk everyday, there were Alpha duties to manage. It was amazing how much work could pile up in just the few days we were away. My brother and I had always had a close working relationship, each playing to our strengths when it came to deciding who would handle which tasks. Ryan always handled anything requiring diplomacy while I handled the more โhands onโ part of the role. But now, with the looming threat to our mate and our pack, we had to divide and conquer on the diplomatic front. It was decided that my twin would stick close to home, smoothing the packโs ruffled feathers over our recent disappearing act, while I would hold meetings with our allies in hopes of building an army for whatever was to come. Iโd just come back from a particularly frustratin
Ryanโs POV Finally, the day of our mating ceremony had arrived. The week had flown by in a blur but this time, all the anxiety of the previous attempt was gone. It was almost like we somehow knew this time nothing would stop us from making Kat our Luna and making our bond official in the eyes of our pack. Despite the larger threat still looming over us, we had faced the more immediate danger to our relationship. Those of our own making. We had earned the right to enjoy all that this day meant for us as mated wolves. The alarm was blaring on the nightstand but my normally cheery mate only grumbled and snuggled in deeper to my chest where her face was currently buried. She was sprawled over top of me with my brother laying heavily on top of her, making it impossible for me to reach the damn thing. Did no one else hear it? Admittedly it was barely the crack of dawn but who could sleep through that racket no matter what time it was. โShut it off!โ my wolf groaned in my head. โBut d
Katโs POV I ran my hands over the deep forest green silk that clung to me like a second skin as I took in my reflection in the full-length mirror. I wasnโt sure who it was staring back but it couldnโt be me. Whoever this woman was, she was confident and sexy. She had curves in all the right places that made her look like she belonged in this dress. I turned to look at the pale skin of my back on display all the way down to where the material hung in waves of satin just below my venus dimples. I felt thoroughly exposed but utterly beautiful at the same time. When choosing a material for my dress, Rachael had insisted this color highlighted my blond curls that now hung loosely over my shoulders and made my cornflower blue eyes shine even brighter. She had been right. A knock on my door told me the woman in question was here to move me along. It was time. I finished clasping the chandelier diamond earrings She had gifted me as I walked to the door. Rachael had worn them at her Luna Cer
Katโs POV For wolves, a mating ceremony was the equivalent of a human wedding. As I stood at the far end of the aisle that would bring me to my mates, my arm linked with my fatherโs as he waited to walk me to them, that thought really started to sink in. Where humans had the option of divorce, wolves had no such thing. This choice I was making was forever, for all eternity. A mate bond and even physical coupling could be broken, but a mateโs mark was irreversible. I briefly wondered when something I had once found so completely terrifying and unthinkable had become all I ever wanted and more. โYou look so beautiful, mโinion alainn.โ My fatherโs adoring gaze and soft words settled my nerves. โThank you daddy!โ I replied, leaning up to kiss his cheek, then rubbing off the trace of lipstick on his cheek with my thumb. โYou look incredibly handsome yourself. Aunty Isa is one lucky lady!โ His eyes twinkled at the mention of his mate and the way he smiled at me told me it meant a lot
Katโs POV Alpha Raphe and Luna Rachael stepped forward to transfer the Luna title to me next. Elder Cyrus brought the ceremonial bowl forward and the twinsโ father brought the jewel encrusted knife with the pack symbol of silver wolves howling at a diamond bejeweled moon. He sliced his mate's hand and helped her squeeze her blood into the bowl then passed the knife to my mates. Pain and remorse flashed across first Reeganโs and then Ryanโs faces as they both grasped the hilt and brought the blade to my hand, I flashed them both a smile to let them know I was fine. It was difficult to cause a mate even the slightest pain but I would heal almost instantly and it had to be done. They both helped to drip my blood into the bowl to mix with their motherโs. โI, Luna Rachael Stone, do so willingly and with full confidence in your ability and desire to lead the Glass Lake pack, transfer the title of Luna to you, Katalina Stone.โ Rachaelโs commanding voice echoed through the room. Her use of
Ryanโs POV I watched in disbelief as our mate shifted in mid-air. As Alphas, my brother and I could shift more quickly than most wolves but nothing like that. For a moment I was too stupefied to react. I could tell by the lack of movement beside me that Reegan was just as shocked as I was. โDid you know she could do that?โ He asked in awe. โAbsolutely not!โ I answered. โOur mate is just full of surprises.โ โAnd has a pretty good head start!โ I heard the rustle of clothing, telling me he was undressing to shift. I quickly did the same, then we both shifted and took off at a dead run. Now that she was marked, it would be difficult for her to hide from us. Not only could we follow her scent, but being marked gave us an innate sense of awareness of her whereabouts. Still, our wolves loved a good chase, especially when she was the prize. Rikkon, Reeganโs wolf, ran just ahead of me but my wolf, Teague, had no trouble keeping up. We sat back and let our wolf instincts guide us a
Reeganโs POV I couldnโt hide the joy I felt as I walked back to the garden for our mating reception with my gorgeous mate on my arm. It was plastered all over my face in a goofy grin but I couldnโt help it. Already this night had far exceeded my expectations and it wasnโt even close to over. Iโd always known my brother and I would have a mating ceremony someday. As Alphas of such a large and influential pack, taking a Luna was a responsibility we couldnโt run from. But Iโd always assumed weโd take a chosen mate out of obligation. I could never have predicted the whirlwind that was Katalina Connor would storm into my life and upend all my well laid out plans for my life. But Goddess, i couldnโt be more fucking thankful she had! Pure, unadulterated joy was the only thing I was capable of feeling right now. Well, that and a healthy measure of lust for my sexy as fuck mate, but that was a constant state of existence for me since she walked into my life. But this joy, this level of happ
Reeganโs POV I was dancing with Julia when I noticed the Beta of the crimson Moon pack, Finnick making his way through the crowded dance floor towards our mate. He had that mischievous look in his eye and I just knew that fucker was up to no good. I remembered the last time I caught him making a move on my baby girl and I was not about to let him try it again. Releasing Julia, I apologized to her and quickly went to cut him off. He was within a foot of her and I realized I wasnโt going to make it in time to keep him from putting his filthy paws on her when he suddenly stopped and growled. What the fuck? He did not just growl at my mate! โWhose scent is that on you?โ He demanded. I was going to fucking kill him for talking to her like that. โUm, Finnick, itโs nice to see you again,โ She tried to cover the awkward situation. โWhose scent!โ He barked again just as I got to him and grabbed him by the collar. Ryan walked up at the same time, clearly struggling to contain his rag
Thank you so much to all mu lovely readers for sticking with "An Unwanted Fate" until the end. I hope you enjoyed the ride as much as I did while writing it! I hope to start publishing Book 2 in the Celtic Wolf serie:: "A Tangled Fate: Bound By Her Betas" within the next week. Sneak peek: โMate!โ My wolf howled. โSheโs ours!โ โWhat are you talking about, Callum? She canโt be ours, not yet.โ My wolf whimpered and whined in my head, begging me to go to our mate. I felt his pain but I knew I couldnโt give him what he wanted. So I did the only thing I could do. I ran. When Finnick Cross recognizes his mate in 16-year-old Sarah Woods, he is ecstatic to find the girl he loves belongs to him. There is only one problem. Sheโs too young to recognize him as her mate. Afraid he wonโt be able to restrain his wolf from claiming their underage mate, Finnick decides to leave, intending to return and claim her as his on her 18th birthday. But when an unplanned encounter derails his plans, wil
Jesse's POV Iโd been locked in this room all night without seeing another soul. I assumed the Glass Lake Alphas knew I was here and why. Their Beta would have told them by now. Iโd fully expected them to come storming in here last night, fuming over what Iโd done, or tried to do, to their Luna. I would have gotten some small satisfaction from it if they had, knowing Iโd at least ruined their perfect night. But they never came. It could have been worse. I could tell this was a room for prisoners by the stark, slate-gray concrete of the walls and lack of amenities. But it wasnโt the dank, rancid-smelling lower cells reserved for the vilest offenders. Perks of being a fellow Alpha I guessed. Still, I didnโt want to spend any more time here than absolutely necessary. The room had no windows so I had no way of knowing what time it was when I finally heard two sets of footsteps approaching in the hall. Despite my wolf, Ares, whimpering in my head, I puffed out my chest and squared my sh
Jenna's POV โAaaaaahhhh!โ I screamed as I angrily stomped back and forth in my tiny cell. Not that I could go very far in either direction. And not that anyone could hear me scream. I knew there was a guard down here somewhere. I could smell him. But he never came close enough for me to see him. If I could just get him to come closer, I was sure I could manipulate him to help me out of here eventually. But no. I was only given food and water once a day and even then, it was one of the nasty old she-wolves from the kitchen who brought it to me. After Reegan had brought that bitch down here to see me, one of the warriors must have come to increase the length on my chains. I was unconscious at the time from . . . well I wasnโt exactly sure what sheโd done to me. All I could remember was being slammed into the wall by something powerful I couldnโt see. At least I wasnโt hanging from the ceiling anymore but it was a small victory. When Iโd asked why I was being offered such civility
Damienโs POV I was sitting at my desk, absently bouncing a rubber ball against my closed office door. Throw, bounce, catch, repeat. It was all I was good for today. That and getting lost in my thoughts of her. Tossed aside on the corner of my desk, taunting me with its presence, was the invitation to the mating ceremony for Kat and her Glass Lake Alphas. It had arrived today and I had been totally blindsided by it. I shouldnโt have been. I knew it was coming. I just hadnโt expected it to be so soon. Iโd ignorantly thought Iโd have at least a month or more to adjust to the idea. โIt hasnโt even been a week, for Goddessโ sake!โ I complained out loud to my empty office. โBoss, the transfer from Snowy Mountain is at the gate. Iโm going to meet her now. Iโll bring her by your office for an introduction before I give her an official tour. If sheโs hot, it might be an extended tour.โ My Gamma, Eric, chuckled in my head. โSure, whatever.โ I responded unenthusiastically. Iโd been s
Ianโs POV I looked down at the beautiful she-wolf in my arms as we danced together at Katโs mating ceremony reception. I inhaled her mouthwatering strawberry scent and drank in her beauty. Her silky auburn hair that flowed in soft waves down her back, shining like the embers of a fire. Her eyes that sparkled like emeralds and danced with happiness when they looked at me. I enjoyed the feel of her lush curves as she pressed her body tight against me, the soft swell of her breasts against my chest and the flare of her hips where my hands fit so perfectly. I itched to lower them and feel the flesh of her perfect ass in my hands, but I forced myself to behave. There would be time for that later. Resting my cheek on her head, I chuckled to myself as I thought back to how nervous Iโd been during those first weeks as we both learned to navigate our new relationship. All Iโd ever known of women was Elena, Katalinaโs mother and my first mate. But I never wanted Isabella to feel like she
*Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature. Kat's POV I vaguely wondered how I ended up here, sandwiched between my two sexy mates, their hands roaming my body and muddling my mind. All I had wanted to do was lay by the pool, read a book, and relax but now all I could think about was the need to feel them touching me and kissing me, to have them both buried inside me. It was all-consuming, pushing every other thought aside. Reegan was lavishing my tits with attention, sucking at my hardened nipples like a starving man. He had one muscular thigh between my legs, pressed against my core and I couldnโt stop myself from grinding against him. The dampness between my legs was quickly soaking through my bikini bottoms, running down my thighs and soaking his leg. When Ryan stepped up behind me and sucked on his mark, my knees went weak. He slipped his arms around my waist, holding me up as his brother released my nipple with a tug of his teeth and stood up to capt
Reegan's POV I was totally in the zone, killing my workout, when all of a sudden I felt my wolf get anxious. He was pacing around in my head, all amped up. โRikkon, whatโs up man?โ I ask, starting to get anxious myself. โSomethingโs wrong with mate! Sheโs upset! We need to go check on her now!โ he whined back at me. He didnโt need to tell me twice! Since marking Kat, our wolves were so in tune to each other, it was like some of her Celtic wolfโs intuition was shared with us through the bond. If Rikkon felt something was wrong, then something was wrong. I was already moving towards the door. Not wanting to wait on the elevator, I took the stairs at wolf speed. In less than a minute I was flying through the door of our hotel room, slamming it against the wall as I flung it open. โWhat the fuck is going on in here?โ I yelled as my eyes frantically searched the room for my baby girl. My wolf led me straight to her wolf so I knew she was here somewhere but I didn't see her. Tha
Ryanโs POV โIโm gonna head to the gym, get in a work-out before we take our girl out tonight. Wanna join?โ Reegan asked. We were walking back from the hotel restaurant after enjoying breakfast with our mate. It had been several weeks since our mating ceremony and we were finally taking a much needed trip alone together. We would've liked to go sooner, but with the impending threat of the Dark Fae, and so much unknown about them, we couldnโt leave our pack unprotected. It had taken a while to mobilize our allies to send some of their warriors to reinforce our security. Weโd decided to honeymoon at a five-star luxury resort on a tropical island and had just arrived yesterday afternoon. My brother and I had considered so many options when deciding to surprise Kat with this trip but with all the stress of the last few months and the uncertainty of the future, we settled on a place we could truly relax and unwind, just enjoying each otherโs company. โYou should go!โ Kat offered. โIโ
*Warning: This chapter contains mature content of a sexual nature. Katโs POV For a moment, I lost myself in the beautiful seafoam green eyes staring deep into my soul when suddenly, I was pulled to my knees. Ryan reached out, grasping the low-cut V of my dress and ripped it right down the middle, leaving me completely bare to their view. โFuck! I loved that dress on her.โ Reegan cursed. โWeโll buy her a new one.โ Ryan dismissed him. โIt was in my way.โ Then, coming along either side of me, they both helped to lay me gently on my back. I watched, practically drooling, as they stepped back and slowly discarded their own clothes, piece by agonizing piece. They were moving lazily, like they were completely unaware of the aching need I had for them to touch me. โRelax, Angel. Weโre going to take care of you.โ Ryanโs voice was full of erotic promises. Reegan tucked his arms under me and rolled me to my stomach. I could feel their heated gazes burning into me and I heard what sounde
