Xander’s movie selection wasn’t what I expected. Actually, he said it’s his brother’s collection and he likes everything, but they enjoy watching old school horror movies, whatever those are. I never really got to see many movies. In the coven we weren’t allowed and then it was only a couple of years before my parents were murdered. After that, there wasn’t any time for movies, television or anything other than school, work and protecting my siblings. So, I pick some movie that looks like it won’t be scary. “Rom com. Nice!” Xander says when I make my choice. “What’s rom com?” I ask. “Romantic comedy. No horror, it's a sweet, romantic style movie.” “Oh, I can pick something else, it doesn’t have to be a romance…” I start to say. “It’s fine. 50 First Dates is a good one.” “Okay.” Xander sets us up in his room, pulling his love seat in front of his bed so we could sit and watch the movie rather than laying on his bed which would have been very uncomfortable for me. He made a big

Fucking Cecelia. What is she doing at my bedroom door? She knows she’s not allowed on the Alpha floor unless she’s invited. And she hasn’t been invited. I can tell instantly that she’s looking down at Maeve, faking kindness, so I let Maeve know I’ll come get her soon, trying to get her away from Cecelia as quickly as possible. As Maeve walks away, Cecelia steps up to me, putting her hand on my chest. I frown down at her. What is she up to? “I was wondering if you wanted me to bring your breakfast to you this morning, Alpha,” she says, probably trying to be coy, but I have no interest. I’m thankful I’ve never slept with her. In truth, our father taught us the value of NOT sleeping with the she-wolves in our pack or our allied packs. Too many people in the packs know each other and I would never want my mate to be uncomfortable having to be around a woman I slept with. The college campus was a different story, but here, I've never slept with a she-wolf. “No thanks, Cecelia, and you

After Alpha Liam and Guardian Angel take Gwen to meet with the council, I turn to get ready to go to the middle grounds. “Hey, why didn’t you wait for me?” Xander says, catching up to me. “It seemed like you were busy. You don’t need to feel like you have to babysit me. Really, I’m fine,” I say, continuing to walk back to my room. He grabs my arm and spins me to look at him. “There is nothing between me and Cecelia. I don’t know what you think you saw, or what she might have said to you, but there is nothing between us other than we are pack mates. And I’m not babysitting you. I thought I was clear last night that I like you.” I look away from him. When he’s this close to me, it makes my head spin. Or maybe I need to eat after the spell. I take a step back, trying to clear my head, but he steps right back into my space. “If you want me to kiss you in front of every wolf here, to show you that I mean it, I will.” He growls at me. Well, not growl exactly, I’m pretty sure Einar would

I have a moment to see what my mate would be like if she didn’t have the weight of the world and her family's survival on her shoulders. Watching her laughing with my sisters is the best thing I’ve seen in, well, maybe ever. Watching her actually let go of the stress that seems to constantly surround her, seeing what she would be like if she didn’t have to be so serious, I know I have to get her family back here, get them safe, so she can be this person all the time. I’m a bit sad when she finally remembers herself and looks at me, but I just smile at her. I’m so glad that she’s found this moment of happiness, even if it’s because my sisters love to harass me. “How are you feeling?” I ask her. “Better. I needed food and now that I’ve eaten, I should be good.” “Are you sure? I don’t want you to push it if you need to rest today. The middle grounds aren’t going anywhere,” I say. “No, I’ll be fine, really,” she says, moving her tray so she can stand. I jump up, taking the tray in on

I can feel the shift in the people at the pool. Everyone is looking at me, but no one is giving me mean, cruel looks. They mostly seem curious about how a witch has ended up being under the protection of two packs. Even I didn’t realize I had the protection of Xander’s pack. I thought it was just his father. “What does it mean to have the pack’s protection?” I ask Quinn and Malin. I really like them. They are fun and sweet. “Well,” Quinn says, still eyeing Alpha Emerson, “it means that if something were to happen to you, if someone were to threaten you, every member of the pack would protect you.” “What?” I ask, astonished. “But, they don’t even know me.” “Doesn’t matter. We’re a pack. That’s what makes us strong. We work together, we fight together, we live and die together,” Malin says. I watch as she nudges Quinn, nodding her head at Alpha Emerson and giving her a look. “I can’t go over there,” Quinn says through gritted teeth. “Why?” I ask. Malin turns, facing away from the

I thought my heart was going to stop when Maeve asked the twins about me finding my mate. When Quinn started to hint to Maeve that I was her mate, I had to threaten her with telling Emerson that she thought he was her mate. That shut her up, even though Emerson already knows they are mates, and so do I. He approached me after he turned 18, letting me know. I’m thrilled my sister and best friend will be mates. And Quinn can already feel it. But still, she needs to butt out of my relationship with my mate. “You really should tell her,” Quinn and Malin do that thing where they both talk at once in my head. “So, the witch, huh?” Emerson asks me, having seen my reaction to Maeve's question. “Yeah. It’s not common knowledge though,” I tell him. “Make it common knowledge. If you’re not going to reject her, what are you waiting for? The only thing I’m waiting for is a birthday,” he says, looking at Quinn. “I don’t want to scare her,” I tell him. “So, don’t scare her. Just let her know wh

I blink. Did he just say ‘done’? “What do you mean, ‘done’?” I ask him. “I mean, I won’t let her touch me again and if she does, I’ll push her away or you can, if you prefer.” “I can?” I ask, not sure I heard him correctly. Have I walked into the twilight zone? “Yes, as my mate, no one would fault you for pushing another she-wolf away from me.” He shrugs. “It’s pretty standard in werewolf packs. Well, when you’re newly mated. After that, people realize quickly that it’s a death wish to touch someone else’s mate.” “And you’d be okay with me telling Cecelia that she can’t touch you ever again?” I ask slowly, making sure I’ve got this this right. “Yep,” he says, smiling at me as if I just gave him the best present in the world by telling him I don’t want another woman touching him. Most men would say I was smothering them or being too clingy. The werewolves are weird. “Do you think that’s Sir Alpha Xander?” I hear someone ask behind me. I turn but I don’t see anyone. When I turn

Wow, my mate just handled the sprites like a champ! They aren’t the easiest beings to follow because of that weird group think thing that they do, and I’m secretly excited to know that my mate only seems to be jealous of women who are actually trying to get me to mate with them, rather than the sprites who really just talk about anyone as if they aren’t standing there. As we walk back to the packhouse, I look over at her. “You seem to be handling this whole mate bond thing pretty well. I honestly waited so long to tell you because I was afraid I’d scare you.” “What made you change your mind?” “Emerson. He recognized that I was your mate by how I was responding to you. He told me that the longer I waited, the longer it would take for you to adjust to the idea so I was only extending the time until we could be together.” She stops and looks at me. “What does that mean, ‘be together’?” “Uh, well, we can figure that out, you know, together. But for me, it means that you and I are a m

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

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
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

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
