Shattered Bonds Chapter 58: Emlyn
Richie stands up immediately, pulling me from the chair. He hooks his fingers into my leggings and pulls them down, kneeling in front of me. He removes my shoes then taps my leg. “Step out.” He says quietly. When I’m naked in front of him, he runs his nose along my inner thigh, purring. He stands, lifting me and wrapping my legs around him, taking me to the bed. He lays me down gently, before removing his shoes. “Do you want me to leave my clothes on, Emlyn?” “Shirt off.” I’m not sure how much restraint I’ll have if Richie is naked, and we still have things to work through. But my body is screaming for him. It feels like forever since I got to enjoy his touch. He does as I ask, removing his shirt but leaving his pants on. He climbs on the bed, settling himself over top of me, laying between my legs before brushing his knuckles over my cheek. “You’re so beautiful, Emlyn Grace.” I know my eyes roll back into my head. He hasn’t called me Emlyn Grace in months. I always loved the soun

I knew this was the first night that Emlyn could get a break from feeding Leander, so I took it upon myself to listen for him. I’m not used to the sounds my son makes, so while I would fall into a deep sleep, as soon as he made a noise, I would jolt awake. And, since I know my time is limited with both of them, I’m going to take advantage of the time I have. I can sleep after they go back to Canyon Ridge. Okay, that’s a lie. I’ve barely slept while they’ve been gone. I’ve gotten more sleep in the one day Emlyn has been here than I did all three days combined since I saw her last. I take Leander into my closet and notice that Emlyn’s scent lingers here because of her clothes. I’m hoping she leaves them. I’m hoping that this space feels like a place she wants to come to every day, a place where she can be with me and Leander. As I pull the shirt and jeans I plan to wear today off the hanger, I think about last night. Her scent has lingered on my face and hands. I dread her leaving and

I don’t know why there would be a supernatural push against the Guardians. When our mothers first created the council, the supes were happy to have a place where they could come to have their concerns heard. In hindsight, that means that those who were abusing their power, or causing undo stress to their packs, clans, covens, etc were removed. So, if there is a push against the Guardians, it would be from those who have had their power taken from them because they abused it. Obviously, Lorelai was against Ailduin and what he stood for. Alpha Wyatt also seemed to be against Richie and his pack. If we’re correct, it will be a stand against all three of our packs. We’re still the strongest three packs in the country. It would take a well-organized, strategic attack to take all of us out. You couldn’t attack one pack without attacking all three, the others would come to the defense of the one being attacked and the attackers would be decimated. Looking back at the fae war, the number of

I wasn’t sure I would be able to submit to Emlyn. It went against everything in me to submit. But for her, Finley and I were willing to do anything. For her, I could submit. I had no idea it would have the effect it did on her. ‘If we had, we would have submitted a long time ago.’ Finley says. ‘Really, Fin?’ ‘For our mate, yes. Never for anyone else, but for Emlyn and Morrigan, if that’s what they want from us, if that’s what they need from us, then we will do it every day to keep them at our sides.” That night, I got up with Leander as many times as I could. Even after Emlyn had pumped, I still had to wake her eventually. But I stayed with her, watching her and Leander and enjoying the last hours of our time together. The next morning, my heart was breaking. The thought of having to let them go, let them leave me again, nearly broke me. I walked Emlyn to her car, holding Leander until I finally had to put him in his car seat. When I did, I hopped into the front passenger seat. “

When I left Shadow Falls, I felt like I left my heart behind. Hearing Finley’s howl at us leaving only made it worse. When I return to Canyon Ridge, I’m almost immediately called to Cohen’s office. I drop my bags in my room and head to his office. When I get there, I can see he’s stressed out. “I need your help, Emlyn.” He says, as I sit down in front of his desk where he’s currently pacing quickly enough that he will soon wear a path in in the flooring. “I thought that was kind of what I was doing here, Cohen.” I watch as he runs his hand through his hair, remembering too late that he pulled it into a man-bun. Pieces of his black hair fall into his face as he continues to pace in front of me. “I had planned to complete the Luna ceremony this week to make you an official pack member. But now, after Mom told me about the concerns for a pending war…” He stops, turning to look at me. “I know who my mate is Emlyn. I’ve known for months. But she’s underage. At first, there was too muc

After getting over my sister being mated to Cohen, I realized he was right. It’s not any different than it was for me. It’s just, well, she’s my sister. My little sister. “Get over it, I had to.” Emerson says, coming into Cohen’s office where we’re meeting to discuss the potential for war. “So, does this mean you’ll be asking Malin to be your acting Luna?” I ask Cohen hopefully. He looks at me sheepishly. “Yeah, and I’ve already talked to Emlyn. I know she’ll talk to you, but I think she’s planning to stay here another week or so to get Malin settled before she moves back to Shadow Falls.” My heart soars. I didn’t really have time to talk to Emlyn past my disbelief that she bet against me. “Not against you.” She had said. “Just in favor of Malin.” She had kissed me softly and I forgot why I cared. “Go, I’ll bring Leander to you when he wakes up. I’ve been pumping for the last couple of days, so you’ll be able to feed him.” First, I get a kiss, then I find out I get to feed my so

With the new information that Alpha Wyatt might be working with the witches, Richie felt he needed to get back to Shadow Falls and make sure the pack is ready for an attack. I really wanted him to stay longer, but I understood why he had to go. And the sooner I get Malin trained to become acting Luna, the sooner I can go home. Home. I think I’m ready to consider Shadow Falls my home. I feel even more confident about that after I got a call from Lily. “Hey Emlyn.” “Hey Lily. How are you? Are you and Aolis still having problems with the fae?” “We are. Lorelei got away and we’re hearing rumors that she is planning another attack, but Ailduin and Aolis can’t get enough information on when or where. How about you? I heard something about witches?” “Yeah, but it’s the same thing. We can’t get enough information to plan an offensive move, so we’re just increasing all of our patrols.” “Be safe, I worry about all of you.” “We will. Was there another reason for your call?” “Well, yeah. I

I hated giving up even a day with Emlyn and Leander, but the pack needed me. I had already given them enough reason to question me as their Alpha. I wasn’t going to give them another. I also know that Emlyn will understand and appreciate that I am sacrificing my time with them for the good of the pack. When I arrived home, I was shocked to find that Maeve’s ‘family’ was a younger brother and sister. When I questioned Xander, he said the rest of her family is dead and she is the head of her family, even though she’s barely an adult herself. I could tell she wasn’t happy about having her family here, in my pack. I was worried about her using her time here against us, and she was worried about the pack hurting her sister and brother. I remember her saying that Gwen had threatened her family. She must have meant these two. Her sister, Meadow, couldn’t be more than 15 and her brother, Tate is even younger at 12 or 13. When I called her to my office, I wasn’t surprised to see Xander come

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
