Ryan's POV My mind was a jumble of emotions and I could swear they were not all mine. When Jenna walked up to Reegan I could tell by the look in her eyes it would not end well. There was no mistaking her intent. She had given herself to Reegan and she expected that to mean something to him. He hadn’t told me he slept with her but I wasn’t stupid. I knew my brother well enough to realize what was about to happen and why. I immediately started to panic! It was way too soon for Kat to have to face one of Reegan’s many exes, if you could even call them that. He never spent more than one night with any of them. That hardly constituted a relationship. It didn’t take Kat long to pick up on that fact either. She was already wary of the mate bond. Then she was blindsided with the news that she had two mates. Now this. It was too much too soon. Panic wasn’t all I felt. The entire time Kat was unloading on Reegan, I was rooted to the spot, unable to move or speak. Just watching it unfold l

Kat's POV I was surrounded by darkness, like I had been swallowed up by it. I couldn’t feel anything. I was completely weightless, floating in a huge void. “Cara?” I reached out for her. No response. I couldn’t feel her presence with me either. I tried to think back, remember how I got here. My mind seemed clouded, fuzzy. It was like looking at static on a TV screen, the picture distorted. “Cara!” I yelled out for her again as a sense of dread spread over me. Where was she? Even when we were fighting, I could always feel her somewhere in the back of my mind. Now, it was like she disappeared altogether. As my anxiety increased, I felt myself hyperventilating. It reminded me of the attacks I would have in the early days after Jesse left me. I would start to think about how alone I felt, desolate and empty. Panic would set in and my breathing would become erratic. My best friend Sarah taught me some meditation exercises she learned from her yoga instructor. They really helped me c

Ryan's POV I felt like I was on fire! Still half asleep, I struggled to understand what was happening. Why did I feel like I was being burned alive? As my eyes adjusted to the dark, I glanced down to see my beautiful angel draped over me, having shifted in her sleep. Coming fully awake, it finally clicked. She was burning me! Her fever had spiked and she was on fire! “Reegan!” I yelled. “What? What’s happening?” he said, sitting straight up in bed. “Kat’s burning up! Link someone to bring a tub of ice and run a cold bath while I link the doctor. I’ll bring her in when the bath is ready.” I directed. He nodded and headed to the bathroom. I heard the faucet turn on and the water running. “Doc? Doc!” I yelled through the link. “Alpha? What is it? What’s wrong?” She responded almost immediately. “Kat’s fever spiked! It feels like she’s burning alive!” I said, panic evident in my voice. “We’re putting her in an ice bath now.” I told her, just as Zayne walked in the door with

Kat's POV All of a sudden, I could feel Cara stretching in the back of my head, finally coming around. I figured now was as good a time as any to try to apologize to her. “Cara, can you hear me? I’m so sorry! I didn’t realize I was hurting you so much. I was just upset and made a rash decision. You know I would never want to do anything that would make you want to leave. Please forgive me!” I rushed out, tears streaming down my face. “I forgive you Kat. I made a rash decision too, pulling away from you like that. I would never want to hurt you either. I just don’t want you to make the wrong choice. We need them Kat. They’re ours! Please promise you’ll give it some more time. Please!” She begged. “I tell you what, I promise to talk to them when we go back out there. Let’s see how that conversation goes and we can decide from there, okay?” It was the most I could offer right now. “Okay, but promise you’ll talk to me first before making any big decisions!” She insisted. “I can d

And nothing had ever mattered more to me than this woman in front of me. So, I did my best to speak from my heart and explain how I felt. I didn’t expect it to be enough but I had to try. She was right, the mate bond doesn’t magically change you. I needed to make her understand that who I’d been was never who I wanted to be. I wanted to be the kind of man who deserved her and I was willing to die trying to prove it to her. So, when she asked for the tour we promised her, effectively letting us know she wasn’t walking away from us yet, words could not describe the elation that flowed through me. I looked over to my twin brother to see a matching smile on his face. I knew he was as excited and relieved as I was. We both lunged for Kat at the same time, pulling her up and sandwiching her between us in a tight hug. She giggled at us and it was the cutest sou
