When Cayd and I set out to Araphyra, we detour to the council. Richie had told me that they needed my statement about Alpha Samuel but with everything going on, I hadn’t had a chance to come see them. When I do, they indicate that my statement matches Richie’s, as I expected. I stand to leave when one of the older council members stops me. “Guardian Emlyn, may we speak with you on another matter?” “Of course.” I say, sitting back down. “We understand that there have been some problems between you and Alpha Richard of Shadow Falls pack.” “Yes, that is correct.” I’m not surprised that they know this. Mom and Leana had said they were going to see if the council elders had any answers. Since I never heard back, I assumed the answer was no. “We have reached out to King Ailduin. He did not have any knowledge of something like this happening in the past.” I nod, I’m not surprised. No one seems to know why or how this situation is occurring. “Guardian Emlyn, what is your impression of Lu

When I raced to Safe Haven pack, I didn’t stop to think that Emerson had told me I was persona non grata. I was reminded instantly when the border patrols surrounded me and let up the howl of an intruder. I shifted so I could speak to them. “It’s me, Alpha Richard. I’m here to speak to Alpha Emerson and Emlyn.” A dark wolf that looks familiar shifts as well and Clint is standing in front of me. “Clint? What are you doing here running patrols for Safe Haven?” I ask, momentarily distracted by his presence. “I’m Beta of Safe Haven now, Alpha Richard.” “Call me Rich, Clint, like you always have. And congratulations. I didn’t realize it had become official.” “Yes, about a month ago.” I realize that I wasn’t invited. My pack and I weren’t invited to a Beta ceremony involving two of my friends, Emerson and Clint. I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am, and I’d be lying if I said it didn’t sting. I’m sure Emlyn attended and Cayd too, most likely. “I need to speak to Emerson.” I watch as hi

Cayd and I drive up the longest driveway I’ve ever seen, but the time flies. As soon as we passed the gate, the glamour around the area disappeared and the beautiful fae lands presented themselves in front of us. “Oh, wow.” I say, leaning forward, trying to take it all in. Everything is in bright, vivid colors. The grounds are in full bloom. “It looks…” Cayd says, sounding as amazed as I feel. “Magical!” I finish for him. “Yeah, it’s like every fairy tale land come to life.” He says, reverently. “Wow, Lily’s going to be Queen here one day?” I ask. Talk about intimidating! “Lucky girl!” I laugh. “You never know, Cayd, maybe you’ll find your mate here and you can come live here too.” When we turn a corner in the road and see the magnificent glass castle in front of us, we are both struck speechless. I’ve never seen anything so beautiful in my life. “How can something so incredible, look so delicate?” I ask in amazement. “I have no idea. I mean, the sprites are cool, but this….t

I scheduled the meeting with Gwen’s father and Alpha three days after confronting Gwen. I informed Emerson and he told me that Uncle Eli would be joining him as well. I asked Xander and Leana to sit in with us. When Alpha Carter and Beta Trevor arrive, everyone is already in my office. I have Jackson show them into the office and I offer them a drink. “I’m hoping that this is a notification that you are finally going to be making my daughter your official Luna, Alpha Richard.” Beta Trevor says to me. His Alpha is watching me. Protocol would be that I would have Gwen in the room if I were going to tell her father that I’m claiming her as my Luna. “What is this about, Alpha Richard?” Alpha Carter asks. He took in the room when he walked in. He recognized Uncle Eli as the recent Alpha and Emerson as the current Alpha of Safe Haven pack. I fold my hands, watching Beta Trevor. I asked Xander to watch the Alpha. “It has come to my attention, Beta Trevor, that your daughter engaged the s

There is something peaceful about Araphyra. It soothes my soul and my mind being here. My first night, I slept better than I have in months. Since my birthday, really. I used to sleep great next to Richie, well, when we’d finally get around to sleeping. I’m lying in bed, thinking about Richie. I rub my stomach, feeling my little guy move around. “I’m sorry your father isn’t here to watch you grow. I know he wants to be a part of your life, little guy. It’s just not the right time for him or me. But we had some really good times and one of those was when we made you. And I can’t wait to meet you.” I finally get up and get ready for the day. I need to take care of business here so I can get home. I need to start planning a life for me and my son. I should contact Cohen and see if he still needs an acting Luna. I think I’m pretty good at the job. When I get to the dining room where we met for lunch yesterday, I see my friend. “LILY!” I rush to her and hug her. “Oh my goddess, Emlyn!

I found the witch, but she was not what I expected. I thought she’d have the heavy goth look that some witches have. But this girl, and she is a girl, barely an adult if that, this girl looks....well.....normal. She looks like a girl I’d see at the university dressed in jeans, a t-shirt, and sneakers with her hair up in a pony-tail. A strawberry blond ponytail that is currently bouncing across her back as she moves quickly through the throng of people. She’s tiny, like she doesn’t eat enough food. I notice that her t-shirt is well worn, and her jeans have holes in them, not the kind that are put there by a designer. And I’m not sure why I even care since she’s the one that caused these problems. Well, Gwen did really, but she’s the witch that made it happen. As I watch her, following her to wherever she is going, she turns her head and for a moment, her emerald-green eyes look right onto my gray ones. “Mate.” Einar, my wolf, says in my head. Well, fuck me! The fucking witch that des

I wake in what looks like a hospital room. It takes me a moment to remember why I’m here. As soon as I do, my hands go to my stomach. “Emlyn!” Cayd says. He was sitting beside my bed. “How’s Leander?” I ask, terrified I did something to my son. “My grandfather?” Cayd asks, frowning. “Do I need to get the doctor? Is something wrong with your head?” “No, Cayd. Leander is what I’ve decided to call my son.” His smile is huge. “You’re naming your son after my grandfather?” “Yes, is he okay?” I ask impatiently. “Yeah, yeah, he is. Morrigan protected him from whatever the fuck it was that you did.” “What do you mean?” “You were glowing, Em. Like from the inside out and when you blasted that power, light shot out from every finger, every toe, your eyes, your ears, your mouth pretty much everywhere.” “Whoa.” “Yeah, whoa. How do you feel?” “Tired. Did it work? “Yeah, it worked. Aolis and Ailduin were impressed. And because it was their power, the light fae weren’t impacted, only the

When I left my office, I knew where I needed to go. I needed to see the only person I knew who could help me. When I got there, I raised my hand to knock, but before I could, my mother opened the door. “Richard! Come in.” She says, stepping back and letting me in. I can hear the playlist that my father made for my mother before I was born playing in the background. She loves it and I’ve heard it thousands of times growing up. My father has added to it over the years, but my mother refuses to have another one. She loves this one. “How are you, son?” I grit my teeth, holding back tears. I finally feel like I’m getting some control over what’s been going on, but my biggest concern now is Emlyn and our son and I feel like that is still completely out of my control. “Ahhh, Rich.” She says, and she puts her hands on either side of my face. I don’t know what it is about my mother’s hands. They are cool, gentle and emit so much love all with one touch. I close my eyes, letting her mot

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
