CooperHow do you like the insight of the beginning of the treachery toward the Guardians? We knew the council was bad, but Leana is the one that saw it first.

I can tell that Leana had no idea that vampires had the ability to attach themselves to the ceiling. In truth, you have to be a powerful vampire to do it. I always thought it was a fun trick after I became a vampire. I would practice walking on the ceiling in my grandfather’s castle. Giovanni used to get mad at me, telling me to stop sneaking up on him like a spider, which only made the game more fun for me. Thankfully, Leana stays quiet as the two people enter the room. Her legs are wrapped around me, the documents from my grandfather in between our bodies. She has a straight shot looking down at them, but I have to turn my head. The first person to walk in is the woman from the front desk, and with her is Silas, one of my father’s minions. “Are you sure no one has come in?” he snaps at her. “I’ve been at the front desk this entire time,” she snaps back. Silas looks around the room. I wonder if he is my father’s new second in command. “And the woman said her name was Leana?” he

It took Drake hours to replace all the bite marks on my body. Okay, let’s be honest, we got totally turned on and had to stop and have sex several times during the process, so it took much longer than it would have if he had just bitten me. I’m not sure how I feel about how aroused I get when Drake’s fangs sink into my body. I can only imagine what it will feel like to have his fangs sink into my marking spot. So, when my phone rings the next morning, I’m still in bed. I grab my phone and glance at the caller ID before answering. “Good morning, Aunt Grace.” “Leana. Are you still in bed?” “Uh, it was a late night. Is everything okay?” “Yes, but I’m here in the city and I’m planning to go to the council. I thought you could join me, maybe give me some insights into what is going on.” “Oh, uh, yes. I’d be glad to meet you out front of the council in a half hour,” I say, looking at Drake. His eyes are laser focused on me. “How about we have breakfast first. You can fill me in on yo

I had been watching to make sure none of my father’s men followed Leana and her Aunt Grace. However, having a Guardian in attendance at the council has thrown my father into a frenzy and he pulled all his men back earlier today. So, I’m standing across the street from the restaurant where my mate and her aunt are eating, watching from the shadows when Guardian Grace asks Leana about me. How the hell did she see me? “You don’t need to lie to me, Leana. Even without your mother’s gift, I would know that you were lying, and I would hope that you know by now that you can tell me anything.” I watch as my mate takes a deep breath and looks down at her clasped hands. “He’s my mate.” I watch Guardian Grace look at Leana, then reach out and cover Leana's hands with hers. “And your mother doesn’t know, I’m guessing.” “How can I tell her? After everything she endured, it’s like a sick joke that the Moon Goddess is playing on my family. But….” “But you are drawn to him anyway,” Grace says. M

I walk Aunt Grace to the elevator. She pushes the button then turns to me. “You know, I don’t think you’re giving your mother enough credit. You should give her a chance, or, at the very least, you should tell Rich. He’s your Alpha. But your mother loves you. She will always love you. She understands the mate bond and your mate seems like a good man. Give her a chance,” she says as the elevator opens. I reach out and hug her, holding on tightly. “Thanks, Aunt Grace. For everything.” “You’re welcome. I’ll see you at Emlyn’s birthday party?” “Absolutely.” “With your mate?” she asks. “Uhhh,” I begin. “At least tell Rich before then. You don’t want him going all Alpha on your mate because he’s a vampire, do you?” she asks me as she steps into the elevator. “I love you, Aunt Grace.” “I love you too, sweetheart,” she says as the doors close. I take a deep breath and walk back into our suite. Drake has the sliders open, and a cool breeze is blowing in. I’m not sure if he heard the

Over the next month, Leana and I move into our new home. The days go by much too fast and the nights that I spend devouring and enjoying my mate go by even faster. Leana turns our little apartment into a cozy home, a place that I want to come to, to be with her at night. Her scent is everywhere inside making our place that much better. She agreed to let me buy all new furniture, after a bit of arguing. Since, it’s not the place I want to give her, she agreed to make me happy. She’s as happy here as I am and I think I finally understand the saying ‘old married couple’. She and I quickly get into a pattern of fixing up our apartment, around her stopping into the council nearly every day while I go shopping for more furniture. Guardian Grace left a few days after she arrived, and then Leana's Aunt Cara came by. While they were here, Leana joined them at the council, but her Aunt Cara had agreed with Grace that Leana needed to be very careful going in by herself. My father’s men had c

As I run to my pack, I feel like I’ve left my heart with Drake. I stop in the woods, pulling clothes out of my bag to change into. I don’t want the pack to see the vampire bite marks all over my body. When I arrive at the packhouse, I’m surprised to see my brother, Cayd, waiting for me. “Hey Lea, good to see you,” he says, pulling me into a hug. “Cayd, are you waiting for me?” I ask hoping he can’t smell Drake’s scent on me. He sniffs the air, but doesn’t say anything. “Yeah, did you hear about the attack by Alpha Samuel?” I stop. “What? No! What happened?” Cayd lets me know that one of the packs we were previously allied with attacked Rich in our packhouse while his pack warriors attacked ours. “When did this happen?” I ask him. “About a week ago,” he says as we walk to my room so I can drop off my things. “Does the council know?” I ask, not having heard a word about this when I was in and out over the past month. “Yeah, I contacted them right away,” he says. The only memb

I’ve been running for two days toward what my grandfather called the ‘northern territory’. Me, I call it the frozen tundra. It’s a good thing I don’t feel the cold. I’m pretty sure even Kella would be cold in this place. I finally had to slow down when the snow became too thick to run in and now, it feels like there’s a blizzard blowing around me, the snow so thick that I can barely see. I make my way into a small town and find what looks like a tavern and hotel. When I step inside, it looks exactly like what you’d expect from a small town in the middle of nowhere that has a vampire’s adobe nearby. The room is dark with multiple round tables filled with men drinking pints of ale or shots of liquor. There’s a tavern girl behind the bar who looks overworked and underpaid and the overall feel is creepy, exactly like something you’d seen in a vampire movie that humans love to create. The room goes quiet as I walk in. I shake out my hair, stomping the snow off my shoes, as I casually sni

The first night away, I called Drake and talked to him. He was out in the wilderness so we didn’t have good reception, but he said he felt like he was heading in the right direction. Last night, I hadn’t gotten an answer when I called. It makes me nervous, but I know it’s possible that if he’s still in the woods that he either doesn’t have reception or his phone has died. I’ll try him again later, but this morning, I’m up, ready to go spend the day with Aunt Grace, Emlyn and Riley, my Guardian sisters to celebrate Emlyn's birthday and prepare for her party tonight. When I get to Safe Haven pack, I find the group in the dining room with Emerson, Aunt Grace’s son and future Alpha of the pack. My life would have been so much easier if I’d have been mated to Emerson, or Cohen, the future Alpha of Canyon Ridge pack. Instead, I'm mated to a vampire prince. We spend the day getting our nails and hair done before getting dressed for the big party. Since I haven’t seen Riley in months, I ta

Shattered Bonds Epilogue: Quinn
Nineteen Years Later“Mom, why do we have to go to this Beta ceremony?” Genevieve, my daughter, one of the twins, asks.“It’s not a Beta ceremony, Gen. The vampires don’t have Betas, you know that,” I tell her.“They’re second in command, mother, that makes them Betas,” she argues.“And besides going to see your cousins take their place as the mates of Urien’s second in command, it will be a good opportunity for you to look for your mates.”Malin’s daughters, Kayleigh and Sasha, found their mate, Lorenzo, the son of Ennata and Demetrius. Demetrius had been Drake’s second in command until he decided to retire with Ennata and move to the city to help Xander and Maeve with the witches. Now Lorenzo is taking over as Drake’s second in command.“Mate or mates?” Marcella, the other twin asks.Unlike me and Malin, both of our twin daughters are identical twins. It caused a lot of worry for me and Malin while they were growing up, wondering what would happen if our daughters were mated to one p
Shattered Bonds Chapter 34: Emerson
Watching my mate on her birthday had been one of the best feelings in the world. I know every man in all three packs had hoped that she would be their mate. But she isn’t. She’s mine. All mine, forever. And tonight, I get to claim her in the last possible way, officially making her my Luna.Last night, we’d watched as Malin had taken her official place as Luna of the Canyon Ridge pack. It was special for Quinn, but I’ll admit to feeling jealousy when Cohen announced to everyone that Malin was carrying his pup. After finding out at Quinn’s birthday party that my sister, Emlyn, Quinn’s sister, Leana, and her sister-in-law Maeve were all pregnant, and now hearing that her twin is pregnant, I suddenly realize that I want a pup too.I’ve never given much thought to how many pups I want. I need an heir, and of course, I’d like to have a little girl that has Quinn’s sweet personality, but otherwise, I hadn’t thought much about it. Until now. Now I know that I want pups with Quinn. I don’t eve
Shattered Bonds Chapter 33: Quinn
I’m exhausted and pleasantly sore between my thighs, but I don’t care. I’m wearing my mate’s mark, wearing my new necklace, and it’s my birthday. Emerson skipped warrior training this morning to spend extra time with me. We’d finally fallen asleep and I’d slept soundly for a couple of hours laying on top of his body.I feel his fingers softly rubbing over my back.I grumble, knowing he’s trying to gently wake me up.“I don’t want to get up either, birthday girl, but we have a party to get to,” he says.I snuggle against him, not budging. He chuckles. “If you don’t get up, I’m going to take you again.”“Is that supposed to be a deterrent?” I ask him.“You must be sore, Quinn.”“Not that sore,” I say, looking up at him.His eyes darken. “Damn, you are one sexy woman, Quinn. And you look fucking incredible wearing my mark. You know what?” he asks, sitting up and lifting me as he gets off the bed and walks into the bathroom carrying me.“What?” I ask.“I want to take my mate while I look a
Shattered Bonds Chapter 32: Quinn
Emerson and I have been together every night for the past month. He’s tried every possible position, explored every inch of my body and found places that even I didn’t know I liked being touched. But tonight feels different. I can feel it in the air around us, feel it in him, and feel it in our wolves.“What does my sweet mate want for her birthday?” Emerson asks me.“You. Just you,” I say and he leans down, kissing me slowly and deeply, as I wrap my legs around his body.“Just me, not my mark?” he asks, his warm breath blowing against my ear and moving to my neck, making me shiver.“Having you means I get to wear your mark and I ge to put mine on you as well.”He growls as I lift my chin, exposing my throat to him. I feel his canines graze over my mate mark, the feeling of it so much more intense now that it’s my birthday.“Not yet,” he says, before flipping us over. “I thought my little Guardian might want to be in control on her birthday, to ride me any way she wants before sinking
Shattered Bonds Chapter 31: Emerson
The day has finally arrived, the day when I can leave my mark on my mate and it will finally, finally stay. I’ve been looking forward to this day for years, literally years, since the first moment that I recognized Quinn as my mate.Even though I know I can’t leave my mark until midnight tonight, I still wake my mate by sliding inside her. I look forward to my evenings with Quinn and waking up with Quinn. I make a point to see my mate throughout the day. Then nights and mornings are when it’s just us and I can be me and she seems to thrive on me being me. I was so terrified for so long that I would hurt her, that I’d scare her off, that it never really occurred to me to trust that the Moon Goddess would give me the exact mate that I needed to fulfill every dream and fantasy that I’ve ever had. But here she is, in my arms, screaming my name. Fuck, I love waking up to her body contracting around mine and my name coming from her mouth.Even though I’m behind her and we’re both laying on o
Shattered Bonds Chapter 30: Quinn
I love being in Emerson’s room. Well, it’s ours now. Going to bed at night is so much more enjoyable. And everything about Emerson has begun to fall into place. During the day, he still shows me affection, more than he used to, but it’s at night that he strips away his reserved side and gives me everything that he is. And what a man he is.Our first night, he was careful with me, in the sense that we didn’t have sex. But that didn’t mean that I didn’t have one of the most intense nights of my life, at least up until that point. I know my mate wants control, and I’m happy to give it, as long as he gives me what I want. Just to be sure, I ordered some sexy lingerie, wearing it every night, just so Emerson can rip it off me. It seems to be all he needs to let go. And oh wow, I’m not even sure I realized how many ways my mate could take me, but Emerson wasn’t kidding when he said he wanted to know all the ways he could make me come by my birthday. It’s like he’s on a mission and every nigh
Shattered Bonds Chapter 29: Emerson
I let her sleep about an hour before I wake her. We need to get ready to have breakfast with her sister and Cohen before we head back to our pack. I pull her into the shower with me, laughing at her sleepy grumpiness.“None of that or I won’t wake you up like that again,” I say to her.“I need coffee,” she pouts as I push her under the shower. “And how come you’re not exhausted?”“I didn’t have as many orgasms as you did,” I say smiling, exceedingly pleased with myself. I counted ten. I made my mate come ten times. Now, I need to see how I can increase that number.“You know, you called me greedy, but you’re awfully greedy when it comes to giving me orgasms,” she says as I wash her hair.“Are you complaining?” I ask, smiling at her.“Nope. I like that greedy side of you,” she says and I laugh, truly laugh.“And, I love seeing this happy side of you,” she says softly and I look down at her.“You did this. You make me this happy,” I say, kissing her nose.That seems to make HER happy and
Shattered Bonds Chapter 28: Emerson
I wake for the first time with my mate in my arms. I’m not sure I’ve ever slept through the night. It’s not that I don’t sleep, but I tend to toss and turn. I can tell that I didn’t move all night, my body, mind, and soul all at peace having this fascinating and incredible woman beside me.I look down at her, her white, blond hair spread out across my chest, a stark contrast to my dark skin tone. I’m not sure I expected her to give herself to me so completely. I kept Clint’s words of advice in my head, and he wasn’t wrong. Quinn giving me control over her perfect body, letting me taste her and fill her had been beyond anything I’d ever experienced, well, at least until I’d had my first orgasm inside her. I thought I’d died and gone to the Moon Goddess’ realm. Yeah, I know I’m going to want to taste and fill this woman every damn day. I can already tell that I’ll never, ever be able to get enough of her. And now, I’m excited to find all the ways I can dominate this body and to see what
Shattered Bonds Chapter 27: Quinn
There is something extremely attractive about Emerson being so dominant. I can tell he’s on the verge of losing control and the only thing keeping him in check is dominating my body. And oh, holy mother Moon Goddess, is he dominating my body.I’ve touched myself, found my own release many times in my life, but this…this is way beyond anything that I’ve ever made myself feel. And he hasn’t even moved past my breasts. I didn’t know it was possible to come just from your mate sucking your nipples, but I’m here to tell you, it is possible. At least if you have Emerson licking and sucking on them like they are the most incredible thing he’s ever put in his mouth.His hands are everywhere, his mouth is everywhere, and while I want to be a participant in this, our first of what I hope is many matings, he’s overwhelming my senses. On top of that, he seems to want and need control and I’m willingly giving it to him.When he commands me to say his name when I orgasm again, I feel heat flooding m
