last update Last Updated: 2024-03-31 10:34:20
Malin and I have an incredible dinner. The entire time, I can barely drag my eyes away from her, watching her as she tells me about everything that is going on with her, all the things that she’s been doing around the pack, all the meals she’s been trying and failing at. I take every opportunity I can to touch her, stroke her cheek, hold her hand, or kiss her. Each time, she leans into my touch, reaches out so I can touch her, and by the end of dinner, I’ve once again recharged by being with my mate. I feel lighter just having spent this time with Malin.

“Did you want to see a dessert menu?” the waiter asks.

“Actually, we have dessert back at the pack,” Malin tells him. When he leaves to get the check I turn to her.

“Is my dessert apple flavored?” I ask her, knowing my eyes have darkened again. She knows that she tastes like a delectable apple pie to me.

“Maybe,” she says, and I love the teasing tone in her voice.

After we pay the check, we walk through the crowded dining room aga

    I was so happy that Cohen’s birthday was a success. Not only that, I got to spend some unexpected time with my twin. Clint was great, enjoying his time with Cohen and the pack, so Quinn and Riley helped me to manage the party. I kept watch over Cohen, making sure that he was having a good time and it really seemed that he was. “Wow, your pack adores you as much as ours adores Quinn, Malin,” Riley says as we fill drinks for the pups who are running around and dancing to the music. “And Emerson hasn’t taken his eyes off of you tonight, Quinn,” she says in a teasing voice. “So, things are good with you two?” I ask her. I’ve noticed that my twin hasn’t seemed as happy lately. "Yes," she says, smiling at her mate. His lips spread into the biggest smile I’ve ever seen on his face, which is to say, barely more than a twitch. Emerson, the stuffy Alpha, doesn’t smile. “Oh, they’re much better than good. I’m not sure what got into our stoic Alpha but he’s become much more openly affectionat

    This birthday, more than any others, will be the most important birthday of Malin’s life. Not only will she turn 18, but she’ll fully recognize me as her mate and I’ll finally, finally be able to leave my mark on her neck and make her my Luna. I love this woman, adore her with everything in me, so I know that her birthday has to be perfect. I call Emerson, knowing that he’ll be feeling the same about Quinn. And since he and I are mated to twins, I can expect that we’ll be doing a lot of birthdays together for the rest of our lives. “You’re calling about our mates’ birthdays?” he asks by way of greeting. “You got it. It needs to be special and they need to have something together,” I say. “What about their Luna ceremonies?” “I thought we’d plan them for the weekend after their birthday.” “They’ll want to be there for the other. We should plan to have their ceremonies on different nights.” “Agreed. I’m planning to mark Malin on her birthday,” I tell him. “Same,” he says. We spen

    Tomorrow is my birthday and I’m so excited. All day, Cohen’s death-by-chocolate cake scent has been getting stronger. I know he’s my mate, I expected his scent to become even more mouth-watering than it has been, but I’ve become so distracted that I can hardly focus on anything. ‘Let’s go for a run. I’m antsy and I want to get out,’ Keena says to me. ‘Antsy in a bad way?’ I ask as I walk outside, finding a place to strip before letting Keena forward. ‘Antsy like I can smell my mate and I want to ravage his body,’ Keena says. ‘That’s a good thing,” I tell her. ‘Not when our marks won’t stay until midnight tonight.’ ‘I don’t think Cohen is planning to mark us at midnight. He mentioned waiting until after our birthday party.’ ‘I can think of a few ways to get him to change his mind,’ Keena says, picking up the patrol trail and racing full on past the patrols, yipping a hello, before continuing on. ‘Show off,’ I tell her. ‘We’ll become their Luna this weekend. I don’t want to leav

    Every day somehow gets better and better with my mate. I thought sex with her was incredible before? Oh hell, no. The explosion that my body had when I sank my teeth into her marking spot was amazing. Not only was it the most intense orgasm I’d ever had until that moment, but Malin’s raw power flooded into me. I’m an Alpha, I’m already strong, but her power? Holy Mother Moon Goddess! Of course the moment she sank her canines into my marking spot, the intense orgasm I’d just had went out the window and THAT orgasm was the most extreme orgasm I’ve ever had. Both of us had ridden the wave of our orgasms, both of us needing to flood the other’s system with our venom. When we finally pulled our canines out of each other’s necks, our scents were so blended that I couldn’t tell where she stopped and I started. It’s the most perfect feeling I’ve ever had. She’s mine and now no one can ever question it. Now, I’m laying here with this perfect woman, my perfect mate, our perfect Luna lying on t

    I can’t believe that everyone is here. I expected Quinn, of course, and my parents and Reagan. There was a strong possibility that Rich would be here too, but not Leana, Xander, or Cayd. First thing I do is race to my twin. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” We’d already spoken earlier. I’d been so excited to not only wish her a happy birthday but to tell her that I was now a marked and claimed woman. She had excitedly told me that she was too. “Let’s see!” she says, pulling back and looking at my neck. I realize that while my sister and I aren’t identical twins, we unknowingly dressed in nearly identical dresses today and she must have had her hair done by sprites as well. The only difference I can tell between us is that the sprites have accented her natural curl while my hair is still straight. Even the flowers in her hair look like the ones in mine. As she looks at my mate mark, I look at hers. Then we both squeal and hug again. “Can I get in on this?” our brother Cayd asks. “Cayd!” we yell i

    Malin’s birthday was a huge success. Everyone had a great time, including my mate and her twin. I spoke to Emerson while we watched our mates greet their family and we agreed that I would have Malin’s Luna ceremony on Friday night while he would have Quinn’s on Saturday. I was surprised that Emerson agreed so readily with me going first, but I’m thrilled. The sooner that my mate is officially my Luna, the better. After Malin’s birthday, the pack began working on her Luna initiation and the party afterward. The same groups of people are invited and because becoming a Luna is so important to a pack, and our packs are so close, I expect everyone to attend both ceremonies. “My sister seems happy,” Cayd says from his chair across from me. “I had some trepidation about her success with being a Luna, but she seems to have settled in pretty well. Your pack obviously adores her.” The night after Malin’s party, we’d had our movie night. I’ve been busy, focusing on Malin and her ceremony, but

  • Shattered Bonds   Epilogue: Malin

    One Year Later If anyone had told me when I was growing up that my life would get better after I met my mate and became a Luna, I would have laughed at them. I was raised in a loving family, surrounded by parents, brothers, sisters, and pack members who loved me. But none of that comes close to the love of a mate, none of that comes close to feeling the love and adoration of a pack that is yours to care for. Some might feel overwhelmed by the pressure of having to care for so many. For me, it feels like home. “What’s got that smile on your face, my twin?” Quinn asks me. We’re currently in the middle grounds, watching our oldest pups, both boys, running around while our twins rest in their carriers beside us. I guess as twins, it makes sense that both Quinn and I would have twins. What we didn’t expect is that we’d both have a boy first, and then we’d both get pregnant with twin girls. Our packs will never be the same if Cohen and Emerson are any indication. Cohen loves our son, but

    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

  • 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

    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
