Shattered Bonds Chapter 43: Rich
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

The Angel’s Trumpet didn’t work. Well, at least not like it was supposed to. Araphyra’s glass walls have a beautiful kaleidoscope of colors swirling around them. But with the Angel’s Trumpet and my “trip” as Aolis called it, the colors were much bolder, and it was like I was looking into a forest in the walls with birds flying around and deer leaping around in the fake forest. While I had one heck of a couple of hours, my Guardian bond was still in effect. Over the next week, we found a couple other references for ways to break the Guardian bond, but I was beginning to think that maybe those ways worked for forced bonds, but not fated bonds. The Moon Goddess was never meant to be overridden in her decisions. I spoke to Cohen, and he is thrilled to have me as his acting Luna. I told him that I was very close to delivering Leander, and I was going to see if Ailduin and Anastasia would be willing to have me stay and deliver my son here, coming to join his pack afterward. They had been t

When I returned home from speaking to my father, I went straight to Leana. “What did they say?” “They will only move it up a week, Rich.” I nod. “Okay, that will have to do. Hopefully, Xander’s witch will get an anti-spell by then.” I use the next few days getting Xander and Jackson prepared to cover for me while I’m gone. I don’t know how long I’ll be gone, but I’m planning to be away for a while. Emlyn has been in Araphyra for months and she’s due to have our son any time. I don’t know when she’ll be ready to come home, but I am prepared to stay as long as needed. A couple of days after meeting with my father, I get an audio/video clip from Emlyn. My throat constricts as I listen to the sound of my son’s strong heartbeat, watching him moving and kicking in Emlyn’s womb. I’ve missed so much, too much. I pray that Emlyn will want to kill that Beta bitch. I swore to myself that I would not make any more significant decisions without my mate and this one is huge. But I want her dead

Aolis blinks when he sees me. “Richard?” “I have to see her Aolis. I have to be here for his birth. Please. I know she’s close. Please don’t keep me from her.” He nods to his men, and they let me go. “I will leave it up to her. If she asks me to remove you, I will do so using whatever force is necessary. Are we clear, Alpha?” “Yes. I just….” “This way.” He interrupts me and gestures down the hall. I’m rushing to the door where I can smell her, my son, Cayd and Lily. I burst through the door, seeing my brother and Lily standing as guard in front of my mate. My mate who is holding our son in her arms. “Richie.” Goddess, it feels so good to hear that name from her mouth. Aolis steps in behind me and I prepare myself to be turned away. “Emlyn, I wanted to be here for his birth. I’m sorry I didn’t make it in time. But I am only allowed to stay if you permit it. Will you allow me to meet my son?” My heart is in my eyes as I wait for her verdict and if I’ll be allowed to meet my son

I don’t know how long I sleep, but when I wake, Richie is sitting beside my bed, rocking our son. Leander’s eyes are open, and he looks like he’s searching for food. “Hey Little Leander. I’m your father. Your mom is still sleeping. How about we give her a little more time before you ask her to feed you again?” He whispers quietly. “She’s been working real hard to make sure you are big and strong and she did a great job, bud. Look at how big you are.” Leander makes a noise that sounds something like half cry, half wail. “Shh, shh, shh.” Richie says, bouncing him slightly. ‘He’s good with our son.’ Morrigan says. ‘I never questioned that he’d be a good father. He’s just not our mate.’ ‘He didn’t accept the rejection, so he is our mate. He just hurt us.’ I sit up, feeling a bit better physically. Richie turns, looking at me. “Hey, sorry, I was hoping he’d let you sleep a bit longer.” I smile, reaching out for my son. “Trust me, he hasn’t let me sleep in nearly a month.” He hands L

‘Why did you have to scare our son?’ Finley snarls at me as I pace in the bedroom that I’ve been given during my stay. I don’t know where Emlyn is staying, but it’s not here. I can’t smell her anywhere nearby. ‘I didn’t mean to. I just didn’t like the idea of anyone else being in our mate’s bedroom.’ ‘Yeah, well, our mate isn’t exactly going to let us in her bedroom. I’d rather have Cayd there then no one. At least then we know they are protected and safe.’ I stop pacing, thinking about what Finley just said. Maybe we can’t get into her bedroom, but we can still guard our mate and son. I open our door slightly before stripping and shifting. Finley walks out the door, before grabbing the doorknob in his mouth and pulling the door closed behind us. He lifts his nose up in the air and catches her scent. We travel through the halls of Araphyra, ignoring the looks we’re getting from the elves that live here. When I find her room, I sniff. Cayd is gone. Finley lays down on the floor in

I was surprised that Richie didn’t fight me about staying in wolf form or sleeping on the floor. Maybe that’s why I decided to let him shift, or maybe it’s because it felt right having him there. After letting him shift back, it took me a long time to fall asleep. As exhausted as I am, having him here is surreal. I can’t help but think that things could have been so different, if only…..if only. But, they aren’t different adn this is where we are. When morning finally dawns, I hear Leander shifting around in his crib, hungry again. While I love these times with him, I know that it won’t take long before I’m exhausted and unable to keep up. My baby boy is big, and it will take a lot of milk to keep his belly full. I roll over and see that Richie has fallen asleep in the rocker. His head is at an unnatural angle, and I know he’ll have a crick in his neck when he wakes up. I pick up Leander, smiling down at my sweet boy. I am so totally in love with my son, his sweet sounds, his coos,

She wants me to reject her. She wants to leave me. I can’t breathe. I can’t….I can’t get air into my lungs. As I drop to my knees, willing to do whatever it takes to get my mate back, I see her look of absolute shock. “Richie, what are you doing?” She whispers. From the corner of my eye, I see Cayd and Lily’s look of shock. I’m not sure how to read Aolis’s expression, resolve maybe? I focus on my mate. “My father told me that if I loved you, if I really loved you, then I should humble myself in front of you. Only you, Emlyn. You are the only person in my life that I would get on my knees for. You are the only person I am willing to give up everything in my life, to have. You and our son. And I did. I walked away from my title. I walked away from the pack, because nothing in my life makes sense without you, Emlyn. The lyrics of that song you sent me? They were like the story of my life. The woman does make the man, Emlyn. I was stronger, better when I had you by my side. Without yo

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
