An Unwanted Fate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 131 - チャプター 140

Kat’s POV I’d been in Forest Trails with my aunt for over a week and, as far as I knew, no one knew I was here. Aunt Isa, as I’d taken to calling her, had told me my father had called her looking for me mere moments before I’d arrived. Of course she told him I wasn’t here because I hadn’t been at the time. It had taken a lot of begging for her to agree to keep my presence from him. In the end, she only agreed not to call him with the information herself but refused to lie to him outright if he directly asked again. It was the best I could hope for but I knew I’d need to tell him myself soon. I was currently lying in bed, the same place I’d spent the majority of my time over the past week. That was another problem I’d have to remedy soon. I wasn’t sure how I would manage it. My wolf had gone from blood curdling howls to painful whimpering to curled up in a listless ball in my head. Without her energy pushing me, I was finding any motivation of my own hard to come by. As hurt as I

Damien’s POV One of my pack members, Isabella Byrne, had returned to my territory recently after traveling abroad for some time. It was standard procedure to debrief with anyone who’d spent more than a month or two outside the pack for safety purposes. Isabella had been back for a while but I’d been too busy to meet with her. I wasn’t particularly worried, knowing she’d gone for personal reasons, but I still needed to follow protocol. I was on my way home from checking on a minor border disturbance when I decided to just swing by her house and see if she had time to talk. I pulled into the drive and jogged to the door, hoping to catch her at home. After initially staying with friends, she’d finally settled into this cute little cottage on the edge of town. I knew she lived alone and usually kept to herself so I was pretty sure she’d welcome the visit. Ringing the bell, I heard an unfamiliar voice call out from inside. “I’ll get it!” the melodic voice called out. My wolf stirred a

Kat’s POV I wandered the streets of the little town comprising Forest Trails’ city center with no real destination in mind. Planning ahead wasn’t really an option given the circumstances. One minute I was rushing from my room, excited to see my dad and the next minute I was frozen in place, watching him pull my aunt into his arms and claim her as his mate. So now, I was wandering the streets in unfamiliar territory, trying to sort out my feelings. The possibility that my dad would find a second chance mate had never really crossed my mind. It wasn’t something we’d ever talked about and I’d foolishly assumed he’d be content to cherish my mother’s memory alone for the rest of his life. Considering how long a wolf’s life could be, that had been rather short-sighted of me. Now that the unexpected had become reality, and with my mother’s sister no less, I was not at all sure how to feel about it. I hadn’t left because I was angry, though maybe it had seemed that way. I had left because

Ryan’s POV I sat in my office staring at the wall, unable to do anything remotely productive. A full month had gone by since I last saw her. I couldn’t believe it had been a month since I’d held my angel in my arms, nuzzled my nose in her silky blond curls and inhaled her amazing scent. A whole month since I’d made love to her, burying myself deep inside her while watching her come apart screaming my name. I groaned aloud at that thought. The first couple of weeks after she left, I refused to wallow in self-pity, choosing instead to throw myself into finding her by any means necessary. I was an Alpha, always focused on fixing any problem and I was determined to approach this the same way. But the more time that passed with no leads, the more overwhelming the pain became until it completely consumed me. Maybe she’d already moved on. Maybe she never really loved us, loved me, in the first place. Neither my brother or I had gotten a decent night’s sleep without her warm, soft ski

Kat’s POV Curious eyes watched me from deep in the forest as my aunt’s wolf put Cara and I through our paces. I couldn’t see them but I knew they were there all the same. Whether in human or wolf form, the pulses of energy leaving us as we practiced our new abilities wasn’t likely to go unnoticed for long. Eventually, Aunt Isa had agreed it was best to tell her Alpha about my special skills in hopes he would help keep the audience to a minimum while we worked. It was a risk, but we both felt we could trust him with the information. He readily agreed to keep our secret and I knew those watching were only his most trusted warriors. “Again!” Aislinn, my aunt’s wolf barked in my head as I repeatedly set a pile of brush on fire then drew water from the earth to put it out. I could train in either form, but my aunt found it easiest to retrieve the knowledge hidden somewhere deep inside her for years when she transformed into her wolf. Though she could connect to it somewhat in human f
