Chapter 38: Maeve

last update Last Updated: 2023-05-14 02:40:17
Xander and I head downstairs to the spell room. When I woke up this morning, my first thought should have been that I was tangled up in bed with a man. A very sexy man that seems to really like me.

But no. All I could think about was that these shifters have senses much more heightened than I even realize and what if he can smell my morning breath.

Yep, that’s what was running through my head, morning breath. Not the massive hard on that was pressing against me, not the fact that I slept better than I have in years, not even the fact that I desperately didn’t want to get up and leave Xander’s warmth.

Morning breath. That’s what my brain latched on to.

I practically scrubbed the enamel off my teeth trying to make sure that they were sufficiently clean before I opened the door and there he was, once again looking like he just stepped out of some surfing magazine. I mean seriously, the man is ridiculously gorgeous.

When we get to the spell room, I can see that my spell is ready. I wa

  • Shattered Bonds   Chapter 39: Xander

    I’m glad my mate seems fine with me kissing her all the time. I can’t get enough of her. I’m starting to understand why my father is always touching my mother, always kissing her, always…well, you know. My little mate just brightened the day of every sprite in our surrounding forests. Not only that, she showed them that not all witches are bad. I have to admit, I was as amazed by her magic as the sprites were. Who pulls light out of thin air? Literally, out of the air. As we’re headed back to the packhouse, I have an idea. “I know you want to go to the Ferris wheel, and I have every intention of taking you there, but would you like to have a picnic at the top of the falls with me tonight? I’d like to share my favorite place on the pack lands with you.” “I’d like that. Quiet is probably better for me tonight. I’m worried about going in front of the council tomorrow. It sounds an awful lot like going in front of a judge in the human world,” she says. “But you’re not in any trouble.

    I’m terrified when we walk through the front doors of the council. I don’t care what Xander says, this place is like a courthouse. When we’re called into the room where the council will question me, it’s even worse that I was expecting. There are three ‘judges’ in high seats sitting in a semi-circle looking down at me. When we walk in, I see Alpha Emerson sitting with a man and woman who must be his parents and I see Leana sitting beside them with another man I don’t recognize. We go to sit beside them, and I see Alpha Emerson’s mother looking at me intently before turning to hug the others. Leana hugs Xander, then me before moving on to her parents. Xander introduces me to Alpha Cohen, the most recent Alpha of Canyon Ridge pack. As one, the group looks up at the council and something I either didn’t catch or didn’t hear has them all taking their seats. “Maeve Cross, step forward.” A man who, I swear, has pointy ears, says to me from one of the council chairs. Xander squeezes my h

    Einar pushes forward snarling as Alpha Wyatt asks about Meadow and Tate. I hear Maeve’s heart rate spike, and I watch as she sways on her feet. “MAEVE!” I call, racing to her, catching her just before she hits the floor. I look up at the council, snarling as I tuck my mate against my body. “How the fuck do you know about her siblings?” I can tell by the looks on their faces that King Lance and Phiren didn’t know about the siblings, so it’s only Alpha Wyatt. I’m guessing that was the name that the girl, Azure, heard the high priestess talking about. He's dirty, and whatever his reason, he's going against my brother and our pack. “I’m a member of this council. It is my job to know the details of the people who stand before me.” Alpha Wyatt says haughtily. “If that’s so, then how is it that you don’t know that the spell that she created is what is impacting my brother’s mate bond?” I say, as my father comes over, taking Maeve from me and walking her over to the where my family is si

    When we walk into the restaurant, it takes everything in me not to turn around and race out of there. The place must be a local hangout for supernaturals. I can feel the aura of multiple predators in one space. Of course, most of those are at the same table, the table that Xander is casually leading me to. Guardian Angel waves us over and Xander sits me beside her just as a man I haven’t met moves over a seat to sit beside me. “Hi, I’m Cayd, we haven’t met yet,” he says, holding out his hand. “I’m Maeve,” I say, reaching out to shake his hand. Instead, he takes my hand and pulls it to him mouth, kissing it. Xander growls at him. “Cayd, get out of my seat before I kick your ass," Xander says to him. “Just so you know, I’m the fun brother,” he says before scooting over. Xander puts his hand on Cayd's face and pushes him back as he sits down. “He’s the bratty brother,” Xander says to me. “Maeve,” Guardian Angel says, getting my attention. “I’d like to introduce you to Emlyn's mothe

    While today at the council was a total shitshow until Emlyn showed up, lunch with Maeve and the family was good. Everyone is accepting her, whether they have figured out that she’s my mate or not, they all seem to like her. Not surprisingly, even Emlyn accepts her. Just another reason why Emlyn was made to be the Luna of this pack. And while she doesn’t come back to Shadow Falls, having agreed to become acting Luna to Cohen’s pack, she’s still closer so Rich can spend time with her and Leander. When we get back to the packhouse, Maeve wants to go to her spell room. She does some sort of magic, turning the cauldron back into a bowl and then proceeds to clean up the room, making sure that none of the magic remains. I help her collect her things and we walk to the kitchen to wash the dishes and put them away. “You’re very quiet, Maeve. Is everything okay?” “Yes,” she says in the first lie I think she’s told me. “Did you want to watch a movie tonight? Cayd will most likely crash, I s

    That night, I hear Xander come to my room, but I don’t open the door. My heart feels like it’s breaking at having to leave him. I don’t sleep, I can’t. So instead, I write Xander a note. Someone will find it eventually. When I see everyone begin walking out for training, I go take a shower. I walk into the closet and find the clothes that I was wearing when I got here. None of these clothes hanging in the closet belong to me. Has it really only been a couple of weeks since I arrived? It feels like forever. When I’m done, I walk downstairs. I look outside and see that most everyone is still in training, so I head out the front door. I go to his parents’ house and knock quietly. I’m not sure if anyone is here or if they are sleeping. The door opens almost immediately. “Maeve,” Guardian Angel says. “Hello, Guardian. I was wondering if it would be possible for me to get a ride home.” “Sweetheart, come inside. What happened?” My throat constricts and I just shake my head. I know if

    I didn’t sleep a wink last night. I tossed and turned and desperately tried to think of a way to keep Maeve here, with me. It’s not that I don’t want her to leave the pack, it’s just that I know she’s not safe out there and I want to wait until the penthouse is officially ours. If she insists on going back now, I’ll just have to put her in our current penthouse. It just won’t be hers. Ours. When my alarm goes off, I drag myself out of bed and go down to training. My father is there and when he sees the mood I’m in, he decides to take the opportunity to not only force me to focus on my sparring, but also to find out what’s going on. I tell him about Maeve, not sure how to make her understand that she’s my mate and what that really means to me. I wanted to show her, but everything has been so crazy lately. I've done little things, but it doesn't seem like it's enough. We’ve just about finished training when my father’s eyes go unfocused. When they clear, he looks at me. “Maeve is gone

    Xander spends the day charming every woman that walks into my shop. Several of them ask if he is a new worker. The first few times, Xander comes over and wraps his arm around me. “I’m her boyfriend, Alexander. Nice to meet you.” Most of them would whisper to me about what a lucky girl I am. Since they don’t know that he’s a werewolf who can hear everything, they don’t pay attention to his lips twitching every time, but I see it. Eventually, I just give up and start telling everyone that he’s my boyfriend. Sometimes his brow would raise, or he’d side eye some women who were obviously talking about him. I couldn’t hear what they said but he obviously found it all very amusing. There were only two real witches that came in today. I took them into the back, getting their orders for what they wanted, one potion, one spell. Xander ordered lunch and had it delivered. The deli who delivered the sandwiches thought there were twenty people here to eat. When I finally close up for the day, I

    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’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
