Mallory’s POV “Mate!” “Mate!” “Mate!” Colton and Kai spoke the word first. Then his brother’s along with their wolves. My wolf cocked her head, taking in the three men in all their naked glory, their hulking frames, six foot four inches of solid, rippling muscles and the long, thick cocks straining heavily between their legs. “Mmm!” She purred. “Mine!” “Definitely Mmm!” I returned, caught up in the throbbing of the new bond pulsing between us. But before I could continue to ogle all those hard lines and ridges, perfectly carved V-lines and deliciously hard cocks the Goddess had gifted just for me, they closed in around me. I felt their hands everywhere, gliding affectionately through my fur. My wolf’s chest rumbled, a sound much more suggestive than I would have thought an animal capable of. “What’s your name, beautiful girl?” Cary’s wolf, Roan, asked through his human. “Raven. My name is Raven, mates.” She projected in their heads. “Raven.” They repeated reverently, in

Mallory’s POV I gave Raven control as soon as we made it outside. The shift was effortless this time, completely free of the restrictions the mage had placed on us. I could feel the Alpha aura vibrating in my bones, seeking release after being tamped down for so long. It was tempting to unleash it. But accepting that part of me meant facing the lies I’d been fed my whole life and right now that was the exact opposite of what I wanted to do. I didn’t want to think. I just wanted to feel the breeze blowing through our fur, hear the whistle of the wind blowing past and the thud of our paws in the dirt. Raven was quiet as we ran. I could feel the effort it cost her to run away from her mates. The bond was like a rubber band, stretching with every step she took, working to pull her right back to them. But she knew I couldn’t face any of that yet so she just kept running. We ran without stopping until my wolf’s powerful muscles succumbed to fatigue, the sinew loose and pliable but

Clay’s POV “Tell me!” I barked the order when Mallory admitted she’d been touched before. Irrational anger swept through me at knowing someone had taken what belonged to me, her first rush of pleasure when two thick fingers slipped inside her. I knew it was hypocritical of me to have expected her to be totally unclaimed, having had my share of women before her. But fuck, it ate me up inside and I felt Cary struggling with the same jealousy. “Who touched you, Mallory?” Cary demanded, his shoulders heaving with every labored breath as he fought to contain his beast. “N-, Nathan.” Mal stuttered his name. “But only once. The day I told him I kissed you.” “Of course he did!” Cary ground out angrily. “You’d think he’d be angry but instead, after a year of dating, he finally decided to pleasure you.” “He was angry though. He-, he spanked me first.” She admitted. Blinding, white-hot fury coursed through my veins, burning me alive and turning my vision red. I wanted to be the one to tur

Cary’s POV I couldn’t sleep. Sleeping next to one’s mate was supposed to bring the deepest, most relaxing night’s sleep imaginable. From the one night I’d spent in Mallory’s bed, I knew this to be true, and we didn’t even have the mate bond between us at the time. But not tonight. Not for me. Clay, on the other hand, had no such problem. The bastard slept with a satisfied grin on his face the entire night. Mallory laid across his chest, making an adorable purring sound as she slept peacefully. Anytime she made even the slightest shift, Clay’s arms unconsciously tightened around her, fearing her escape even in his sleep. When we’d come to Mal’s room last night, we had no plan in mind other than to be there for whatever she needed after the difficult conversation with her mom. If she had come in and collapsed into a puddle of tears, either or both of us would have been content to just hold her and whisper comforting words in her ear. But when she walked in the door and her eyes lo

Aloha from Hawaii to all my lovely reader! Firstly, I want to thank you all so much for your dedication to this book! Your reviews. comments, and gems warm my heart! Many of you have been asking for more frequent updates and I love that you are because that tells me you are enjoying the story. Please know I am doing my best to strike a balance between updating this book as well as A Cruel Fate, the last in my Celtic Wolf Triology that is ongoing as well. It is a little farther along and once it is completed, I will be able to work solely on this story. In the meantime, I will do my best to update more frequently or post more than one chapter when possible. From today, I will try to update daily as opposed to every other day, though it may only be one chapter a day. There will continue to be no updates on Sundays as that is the one day I set aside for family time. Thank you so much for reading! Much love, Cara
