I had proudly stood by and watched Cohen take his oath as Alpha. Unlike the rest of my family, I didn’t officially join his pack. I think I’m the only one of our generation to not swear my allegiance to one of the packs. Losing the pack link had felt strange, like I’d lost my family. Thankfully, I still have my family link, so I can mind link them. But, the loss of the pack, only adds to the loneliness I’ve been feeling since I’ve been separated from Aolis. “You know, I can make you a friend of the pack and you don’t have to swear your loyalty to me.” Cohen says, coming up behind me. I turn to him, pasting a smile on my face. “It’s weird, not being a part of a pack anymore.” I tell him. “You will always be a part of this pack. I understand why you can’t swear your allegiance to me, that belongs elsewhere, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t set up an alliance between Araphyra and Canyon Ridge. I’m sure you could do the same with the other packs. We’re all family here.” I look at m

After breakfast, Buppig and I return to the library, the room that has become our second home over the past year. “I get the flower of spring is me, that makes sense. Although, in truth, your mate and any of her sisters meet this criteria as well.” I say to Buppig, who shakes his head at me. “But are we sure that Dominic is the pain of night?” “Yes, Princess, we’ve been over this. Not only is Dominic’s fur as dark as midnight, but he is the nighttime protector of the forest. And let's not get started on the pain part. No one in Araphyra was in as much pain as Dominic.” Buppig says, huffing at me. Well, he doesn't have to convince me of that. I remember the pain he felt very well. My body shivers at the memory. “Fine.” I say, before rereading the prophecy. When the flower of spring Eases the pain of night She will begin to heal He who is broken "Okay, that part makes sense. Although, similar to what GoldMoon told us, the word ‘broken’ isn’t exactly accurate. Dominic isn't broke

It’s been months, and I’ve tried with everything I have to heal Dominic. But, as Buppig has said, ‘the time hasn’t come’. It’s so annoying. Each time, Dominic and Tialha gets their hopes up and each time, I disappoint them. Aolis has gone silent again. I hear from Ailduin that more fae are going dark. Aolis is trying to find Lorelai, but she keeps evading him. She is creating an army, or that’s what Ailduin thinks. She’s very smart, and she knows how Aolis and Ailduin plan their strategies. It has given her the upper hand, causing the deaths of many of Ailduin’s soldiers and forcing him and Aolis to change their fighting strategy. But as of now, the new plan hasn’t worked. More and more fae are turning dark. The stories coming from the townships is that Lorelai is imprisoning the families and loved ones that she wants as her soldiers, threatening their families if they don’t agree to become her minions. While I understand their sacrifice, it still makes me angry that she has this le

My frustration with not being able to find Lorelai and being away from Lily for so long has made me nearly unbearable to be around. My men give me a wide berth whenever they are near me and there is a constant storm over our heads. I want this done. I want Lorelai dead. I want to be home with my mate. I want to complete our bond. I want to finally start my life. This endless loop of fighting and killing is not the life I want, not for me and not for my men. We’ve just entered WoodLily when Castien comes running out to greet us. “Lord Aolis. Come quickly.” He says and rushes us inside his castle. Once inside, I see his people all huddled together. “What’s going on?” I ask. “Lorelai has been spotted nearby. We have heard what she is doing to create her army. I called my people to the castle to keep them safe. But some are missing. We’ve heard the rumors. We know how Lorelai is gaining her army. I want to keep my people safe, but…” His voice cuts off as he looks around. I can tell t

I’m so excited to see Emlyn and then to see Cayd too. It’s nice to have my family here with me. Even though neither of them are blood relatives, the Guardians' children have always been like family to each other. When Emlyn tells me about what happened between her and Rich, I’m shocked. I’m so angry at him I want to punch him. Stupid men. Apparently, it’s not just my mate that does stupid things. I’m even more shocked when I hear that she wants to try to break her Guardian bond. I didn’t even know that was possible. I feel terrible that I didn’t know that any of this was going on. First Emerson and his bond with Quinn, now Rich and Emlyn. I feel so disconnected from the packs and what is going on with them. I get Buppig to help us find books that might give us a clue as to where to find anything on how to break the Guardian bond. We’ve been pouring over them for days when I hear the rumblings that the soldiers are back. It’s another couple of hours before Aolis finally comes to fin

After spending the day helping Lily and Emlyn looking for a way to break Emlyn’s Guardian bond, all I wanted to do is finally have some quiet time to reconnect with my mate. From the moment I walked into the library, everything was uncomfortable. I could tell Lily didn’t know what to say to me or how to interact, and I felt just as uncomfortable. I waited for hours for her to join me in our room. It was late into the night when I realized she wasn’t going to come. I have no idea where she slept, but it wasn’t with me. The next morning, I join my father and Anastasia in their private dining room for breakfast. Neither Lily nor Emlyn show up for breakfast. I have to hope that Lily hasn’t changed her mind about our bond and isn’t looking for a way to break her Guardian bond to me while she helps Emlyn search. I’m just about ready to go search for her, to force her to talk to me, when we hear Dominic’s howl of warning. Lorelai is here. I rush back to my room, putting on my armor and gr

When I open my eyes, I’m disoriented. Where am I? There’s a strange beeping sound nearby and the sounds of scurrying, as if people are busy rushing around. Is it morning? Did I oversleep? I reach out, like I always do for Hera. I only get a soft, exhausted response before she’s gone again. My body hurts. A lot. More than it’s ever hurt before. Am I injured? Is Hera injured? I try to clear my hazy brain and then it all comes flooding back. Lorelai, the battle, the lightning, Hera’s heart stopping. ‘Hera!’ I scream. Is she dead? Am I alone? ‘I’m here. Need to heal.’ She says softly before drifting away again. I hear movement near me, someone comes over and a warm hand touches my face. Then I smell the delicious scent of freshly fallen snow. “Aolis.” I say as my eyes drift open. His grey-green eyes are full of concern as he leans over me, looking at me intently. “Lily. Lily, you’re okay.” He says, pulling me into his arms and burying his face in my neck. I feel his body jerking

I know she’s not ready to complete our bond, and I’m hoping that she still wants to do that, but seeing my mate naked and gorgeous has my body responding in ways she’s not ready for yet. That is until my focus lands on her chest. The place where my mark should be is covered in burn marks that look like slashes from Lorelai, angry black and red marks. As anger flares, I reach down and gently rub my thumb over the marks. “They will heal, Aolis.” Lily says quietly. I sigh and gently lift her into the tub, letting the warm water relax her while I step away to undress. When I’m naked, I lift her again, sitting behind her in the tub then settling her between my legs, pulling her back to rest on my chest while I grab a washcloth and begin to wash her. “I’d tell you I could wash myself but it’s been so long since I’ve been with you, that I’m just happy to have you touching me.” She says quietly. I watch as I squeeze the warm water over her chest, hearing her hiss of pain as it coats the b

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
