Chapter 17: Xander

Author: Cooper
last update Last Updated: 2023-04-20 07:20:31
I have a tendency to get hangry. Hungry angry, or hangry, as my sisters call it. It’s a joke in our family. Never get between me and my food when I’m hungry. Not intentionally, but I have been known to shove my sistersout of my way in my haste to get to food.

The minute I get away from the stinky smell of Maeve’s potion, I smell food and my stomach twists painfully, feeling like it's eating itself. There are only two things on my mind. Food and my mate. Sadly, I realize that in my hunger, I’m missing important cues. It’s not until I hear Maeve’s heart rate spike, smell the scent of fear and sweat on her that I realize something is wrong. All I’ve cared about was getting food in my stomach and making sure she was fed. Apparently, in my haste to get somewhere to eat, she assumed I was trying to get her into bed.

I guess it makes sense. I thought that since she was aroused that she could handle a bit of teasing about it. And she did ask me about it, so I thought we were in a good place.

  • Shattered Bonds   Chapter 18: Maeve

    I wake up the next morning, shocked that I slept so well. It’s been a long time since I haven’t woken up listening for someone to bang on my door in the middle of the night or try to break in to get us. At first when I wake, I’m completely disoriented. It takes me a moment to remember everything that happened yesterday. Has it really only been one day? I can’t believe that less than 24 hours ago, I was putting Meadow and Tate on a bus. It feels like I lived a week in the last day. I get up, not knowing what to expect today. I’m guessing that I won’t be allowed to return home until I make the potion that breaks the spell. That will be a week. It’s a touchy spell, one that I have to slowly maneuver to work around the spell that Gwen wanted. I can do it, it will just take some time and a lot of subtly. I’ve just gotten out of the shower when there’s a knock at the door. I wrap a towel around my hair, piling it on top of my head and then around my body, not sure if I have clean clothes

    It was a risk showing Maeve that I’d talked to her sister, but I also need her to start trusting me. I didn’t say or do anything that would upset Maeve, I don’t think. But, it’s still a risk. She zeros in on the one thing that I said that I knew she wouldn’t have, that they’d be together again soon. “I can’t bring them back here, Xander. I can’t keep them safe.” “The pack will keep them safe, Maeve.” “Xander, I’m a witch, my sister is a witch. There’s no way your brother is going to allow us to stay on his pack lands.” “I know you haven’t had a good experience with wolves, Maeve. But protection is what we do. We’re good at it.” “Well, it doesn’t matter. I have to be here for a week anyway to make sure the potion cures. After that, I’ll be out of your hair, and you won’t have to worry about me or my siblings ever again.” She says before digging into her breakfast. “M is scared, Maeve. She needs to feel safe. Tate needs to feel safe. They’re alone and they are juveniles. They…” “

    I have no idea where Xander is taking me, but I’ll pretty much go anywhere if it means talking to Meadow. However, when we show up at his parents’ house, I nearly make a run for it. I’ve already had to face Xander, his brother, the current Alpha, and his sister. Now, I’m going to meet one of the original Guardians and one of the strongest Alphas that has ever lived? Yeah, not high on my to-do list. Xander’s mother’s name suits her, Angel. She has long, straight white-blond hair. She’s short, shorter than me, making her nearly a foot shorter than Xander, with grey eyes. She has a kind face and shrewd eyes. Those shrewd eyes are currently focused on me. “Come in. Both of you.” She says, stepping back. Xander puts his hand on my back, urging me to enter in front of him. I pull on years of strength that I developed dealing with werewolves and I walk inside. I refuse to show fear. I can hear the chatter of female voices coming from the living room. They sound happy. It makes my heart

    I have never challenged my father before. I never had a reason to before today. He realizes instantly that she’s my mate, but he’s still willing to condemn her for something she had no control over. It’s Maeve who is able to diffuse the situation by using my mother’s Guardian gift. She doesn’t seem to know that my father has it too, since he’s her mate. After she tells her story, I know my mother well enough to know that she will want to look after her. I want it to be me, but I know, as soon as Maeve breaks down, that my mother can help her in a way that I can’t right now. Einar begins fighting against me, knowing that Maeve is more open with him than with me. He wants to care for her, be there for her and I have to fight him back. Once again, it’s Maeve that calms the situation by telling Einar that she’s okay. When they walk away, Reagan surprises both of us by scolding my father. Apparently my sisters are feeling protective of my mate. I like that. My father watches them leav

    Alpha Liam told me that he was going to go to my shop and find the scent of the Whitmore brothers. He also told me that he wants me to consider bringing my brother and sister into the pack. He swore that he would protect them. While I want to believe him, I’m hesitant. My experience with the wolves up until now hasn't exactly been good. One good thing came out of that meeting though. Alpha Liam snarled at Xander for keeping my phone. “Give it back to her, Alexander. It’s her only connection to her family.” When we’d gotten back to the packhouse, I’d gone to the spell room, as Xander calls it, and he’d gone to get my phone. As soon as I was done with the spell, I raced to my room and called Meadow. They had just arrived in Montana. “Oh, Maeve, it’s gorgeous here. You definitely should join us when you can.” “How are you feeling today? Better?” “Yes, much. I’m sure it was all my imagination.” “Well, don’t become complacent. Stay alert, just in case.” “We will.” “Have you found a

    I need to figure out what it is about my mother and sisters that gets Maeve to agree to spend time with them. I’ve been trying for days to get her to agree to spend time with me and she keeps pushing me away. It’s making me crazy. Einar is constantly on edge, always pacing around in my head. It’s gotten so bad, I can’t even focus on my schoolwork. So, when I catch them heading outside, I take the chance that she’ll at least spend time with Einar. He finally relaxes a bit when she agrees. We stop in her spell room. I’ve only been coming here because it’s practically the only way I can spend time with her. Although the smell has gotten easier to take over time, it still stinks. When we walk in, my sisters cover their nose immediately. “Phew, what’s that smell?” Quinn asks. Maeve looks at them, frowning. “What does it smell like?” She asks. “Fermented earth.” Malin says. My sisters turn and look at me. “Don’t you smell it?” They ask and Maeve looks at me. “Of course I smell it, b

    I haven’t had dinner in a family atmosphere like this one since my parents were killed. As I watch, Alpha Liam asks the girls about their day and their plans for tomorrow. The girls tease Xander and he gives it right back. Guardian Angel plays mediator and smiles at her mate every chance she gets, and he can barely take his eyes off of her. It’s beautiful and heartbreaking all at once. “What about you, Maeve?” Alpha Liam says, directing the conversation to me. “What about me?” I ask. “How was your day?” He asks. I’m so surprised, I stop, looking around the table. Everyone is giving me their undivided attention like they did to the others when they spoke. “My day was nice. The pack lands are beautiful. Einar is so strong and graceful. He makes it easy for me to hold on when he's carrying me.” I hear him purring beside me, making me smile and I nudge him. The girls all snicker at that. “I was worried at first when Xander said I could ride him, I had never seen a werewolf in wolf

    Maeve goes inside to say goodbye to my mother and sisters. “You’re going to have to tell her,” my father says. “It will scare her off.” “You don’t know that.” “Dad, she’s been mistreated by werewolves for years. Hell, even I went to get her with the intention of killing her,” I say, running my hands through my curly hair. I hate that I went to her with such nefarious intentions. I know I scared her when I first snatched her to bring her to Rich. “I didn’t do myself any favors. She adores Einar, but if it were just me, she’d ignore me completely. And she doesn’t feel the mate bond. How am I supposed to explain it to someone that has no understanding of what it means to be mated to a werewolf?” I ask him. He leans forward and looks behind us, through the sliding glass doors, watching as my mother continues to work her own magic on my mate. “Your sisters could help you with that. You’re going to be spending the day with them tomorrow. Have them talk to her. I know they’re your litt

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
