“What? You don’t want me anymore?” I feel Mason’s rejection like a crushing blow.

Aspen wraps himself around my back, holding me close and reminding me I’m still wanted, by him if not by everyone. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by Mason’s response. I spent so much time pushing him away, and karma really is a bitch. It makes sense he’d change his mind about me the minute I’m ready to give him a chance.

“Fuck! Ellie, that’s not what I meant. Of course I want you! I’ll always want you. Never doubt that.” He drags me away from Aspen and into his arms, snarling at the other man when he doesn’t let me go immediately.

He presses my cheek against his chest where I can hear his racing heart beat. His arms are shaking where they surround my waist and he’s scenting my hair to calm himself. I’m so confused by his reaction, in direct contrast to his words.

“I don’t understand. You just said-”

“I know what I said.” He interrupts. “It came out wrong. I just meant that I never want

    Asher “What the fuck are you doing?” Aspen attacks me the second Mason pulls Elena aside. “You’re my brother, my twin, and I’ll always support you but this is our mate, our entire future at stake. You better explain this shit to me right now!” “I know it sucks but you also know I’m right. We need to be here for dad’s trial and there’s still a killer on the loose. Our time is better spent here, finding the fucker and making Elena safe!” I try the same line but he isn’t buying it. “No! That’s the bullshit you plan to distract yourself with so you don’t spend all your time thinking about how fucked up it is that you let our mate walk away for no damn good reason! We can’t keep her safe if we’re not with her and you fucking know it!” Aspen always has this uncanny ability to see right through me and he doesn’t hesitate to call me on it. All I can do is shake my head and sigh. He’s not going to let it go, leaving me no choice but to shatter his happy little bubble. But it was bound

  • The Alpha's Abandoned Luna And The Twin Flames   Ch. 39 Blissed Out

    Asher My balled fists are the only outward sign of my jealousy when I watch Elena kiss Mason goodbye. He beams at her like she’s his reason for breathing, and yeah, I know the feeling. Then he walks away with a spring in his step even though he knows what her staying with us means and I can’t fathom how he could leave her here without a fight. But I shake all that negativity away, refusing to give it more space in my head when we have the whole night to look forward to. Elena yelps as I pick her up and fling her over my shoulder, carrying her inside. It’s such a lighthearted sound, full of happiness, and that’s the emotion I cling to. It’s all I ever want her to feel when she’s with me. It’s how I want to remember her. “Asher, I can walk!” She giggles. “Sure. But isn’t it sexy to have your big, strong mate take charge?” I slap her ass playfully, her skin soft and warm under my palm. “Okay, have it your way. Caveman!” She mutters the last part under her breath but I hear

    Aspen “What the fuck are you doing?” Asher knocks my phone out of my hand. Elena passed out almost immediately after the earth-shattering orgasm we gave her. But even in her sleep, she’s aroused and restless. She’ll wake soon and she’s going to want Mason here when she does. “I’m calling Mason. You heard her ask for him. She needs him here.” I pick my phone up off the floor, glowering at him. “No!” He barks. “This was supposed to be our night. We can get her through this. We don’t need him!” “Asher,” I sigh, shaking my head at him. “This is her first heat since finding her mates. She deserves to share it with all of us if that’s what she wants. “Are you really so selfish that you’d take that away from her? Because that’s fucked up and I doubt she’ll thank you for it when it’s over and she realizes you refused to get him for her.” “Fuck!” He growls angrily before resignation sets in. “Fine. Call him. I’ll be in the kitchen making her some food.” He stomps away and I g

    Elena “Now tell me, sweet girl, has anyone ever been inside that tight ass of yours?” Mason asks, but I’m struggling to focus on his words with all the sumptuous eye candy surrounding me. Aspen is leaning against the headboard, completely naked. His muscles ripple as he strokes his long thick cock, fist tightening around the tip with every pump. I’m practically drooling with the desire to lick the cum dripping down his hand. Asher is kneeling beside me, his hard body close enough to taste if I just leaned in. His cock bobs in front of him, thicker than his brother but not quite as long. A thread of pre-cum stretches from his leaking slit to the mattress below and fuck am I thristy for it! Then there’s Mason, his massive frame and all his hard lines and ridges looming over me. His heavy cock rests on my thigh and he’s staring at my pussy like he wants to dive in and never come up for air. Between the three of them, I can’t decide what I want first. “Ellie?” Mason startles me out

  • The Alpha's Abandoned Luna And The Twin Flames   Ch. 42 Without Question

    Mason Ellie is dead to the world. She’s laying on her side facing me with Asher snuggled at her back. One heavy arm is draped over her waist, his hand cupping her lush tit. Her blond curls are a tangled mess and her face is still flushed, giving her that freshly fucked look, and she’s never looked more beautiful. I’m staring at her gorgeous face, feeling like the luckiest bastard alive as memories of the past few days filter through my consciousness. Between the three of us, we took her in every way imaginable and as I suspected, the surplus of sex toys came in handy at the peak of her heat when she was so needy there was no time to breathe, let alone recover. A huge grin spreads across my face as I remember the way we worked together so seamlessly, confirming my belief that the four of us were always meant to be a team. Just what that team will look like remains to be seen. Asher and I found a way to work together, even sharing Ellie between us a few times, but nothing more. As

    Elena I stare out the window as we make the long trek to Sacred Moon. Mason is driving, one hand on my thigh squeezing gently. Aspen sits in the back but leans over the console to hold my hand, circling his thumb soothingly over it. I appreciate their efforts to comfort me but it doesn’t stop the tears from streaming down my cheeks or the gaping hole in my heart where Asher should be. I’m not even sure why I feel so devastated by his absence. It’s not like I’ll never see him again, hopefully soon. And he promised to call or text me every day. Still, I can’t quit replaying our last interaction in my mind, obsessing over this gut feeling that something more is going on, something he’s not telling me. “You understand why I can’t leave now, right gorgeous?” Asher asks as soon as his brother and Mason leave to go collect the one thing I can’t leave behind. My bow and arrows. “I think so. But could you tell me one more time?” I say, staring at my hands so I don’t risk seeing rejectio

    Mason What the actual fuck? That’s the only thought my mind can process at the moment. That and peeling the overly affectionate she-wolf off of me. “Um, Mace?” Aspen gets my attention and I don’t miss the way his arms are draped over Ellie's shoulders and crossed over her chest, holding her steady. “Would you like to introduce us to your, uh, friend?” There’s an edge to his tone telling me he’s no more thrilled about my current circumstances than Ellie is. In fact, they’re wearing almost identically pissed off looks, eyes narrowed and nostrils flaring. But it’s the murderous rage in Ellie’s eyes that kicks my brain into gear, allowing me to respond to his request. “Uh, yeah. Yes.” I stutter as I manage to put some distance between me and my attacker. “This is Mindy, my secretary. Mindy this is-” “Oh, hello!” Mindy interrupts, seeming to notice we aren’t alone for the first time. “Are these friends of yours, Macy?” She steps back into me, pressing her tits against my arm.

    Elena “I don’t mean to be harsh or insensitive” Alpha Mitchell mollifies when we all protest at once. “I’m simply stating facts. Are you familiar at all with the pack you’ll soon lead with your mate?” He directs the question at me but I’m still shaking with fury at his insinuation that there is something wrong with my mates simply because their blood isn’t pure. I take a few deep breaths to calm myself before I venture to speak. It helps that Aspen hasn’t stopped touching me and even Mason looks horrified by his grandfather’s words. “He told me you enforced traditionalist ideals during your time as Alpha and he’s had to spend every minute since taking over for you combatting the damage you’ve done.” I spit at him, not bothering to mince words. “That’s true.” He sighs, surprising me when he doesn’t argue the point. “I could give you a long list of things I regret in my life but that won’t change anything now. “The fact remains that most members of our pack don’t even believ

  • The Alpha's Abandoned Luna And The Twin Flames   Epilogue 2

    Asher Elena is quiet during dinner and I can’t tell if our little Luna is upset for her best friend or just overwhelmed by the responsibilities she’s shouldering right now for the pack. Either way, I don’t like the look on her face and I intend to replace it with a much happier, more satisfied expression. And I intend to make that happen sooner than later. “All done, gorgeous?” My chair scrapes across the floor as I stand from the table and collect our plates. “What? Oh, yeah, I’m full.” She startles and it takes her a minute to understand what I said. “Excellent!” I grin, holding out my hand to help her up. “But-” Elena looks at Olivia like she doesn’t want to leave her. “Mace will get his sister settled in for the night. You’re coming with me. No arguments.” As soon as we turn the corner I pick her up, wrapping her legs around my hips, our chests pressed together. Her body heats and her scent spikes at the assertive move, her body as responsive as ever. It’s her mind I ha

    Elena “Whose idea was it to build the new hospital and renovate the Alpha suite at the same time?” I ask as I burst into the guys’ office and throw myself dramatically onto the couch. “Yours!” My mates all look up from their work and answer at once. “Haha! You guys are hilarious! It was a rhetorical question!” I huff, their laughter rumbling through the room. Mason pulls me into his lap and I wrap my arms around his neck, resting my head on his chest. I breathe in his rich whiskey and leather scent, letting it comfort me and help me relax. “Ugh! I’m sorry I’m being so whiny. I know you have more important things to worry about.” “You have been a little irritable late-, ouch! Why did you hit me?” Aspen rubs his arm where Asher punched him. “It’s okay Ash. He’s just being honest. But thank you for defending me.” I smile appreciatively at my overprotective mate. The two months since the Luna ceremony have been more of a strain than we anticipated. Between running a pack, set

    Elena Literally, we fall backwards, Asher pulling me against his chest as he lays back on the bed. For one brief moment, I’m gasping for air, crushed by Aspen’s body as he lands on top of me. Then Mason is there, slipping his arms between us and lifting him just enough that I’m no longer bearing the brunt of his weight. “That’s it. Just breathe.” Mason gives us a second to catch our breath. He strokes Aspen’s back soothingly while Asher collars my throat with his large hand. He gives it a squeeze, not enough to cut off my air but enough to center my focus on that slight bit of pressure. It’s enough to slow my breathing and let the intense pleasure rush back in. “Now, Asher and I are going to fuck you the same way we’ll face our future. All four of us, together.” Mason’s deep, sultry voice rumbles through Asp as he frames his back and it’s like a vibrator to my sensitive bundle of nerves, a whine slipping free as my clit throbs. Mason shoves into Aspen’s ass, pulling a deep moan

    Elena “We’re all going to take our time undressing you.” Mason breathes in my ear, dragging his calloused fingers over the smooth skin of my back as he unties the lacy bow at my neck. He slides his hands inside my now loosened bodice, kneading the flesh of my tits while mouthing his mark on my neck. My knees buckle but he pulls my body firmly against him, his thick length hard against my ass. I let my head fall back on his chest, moaning at the delicious sensations his touch brings. My twin mates drop to their knees and take turns lifting my feet to slide off my shoes, pressing tender kisses to my ankles and toes. Their hands slide up my legs to my inner thighs, close but not close enough, before gliding back down again. Every move is slow and sensual, calculated to drive me to the edge of sanity. “Let’s see what you’re hiding from us under all this lace, little one.” Mason lets the top of my dress fall, exposing my nipples to the cool air and licking his lips as he watches

    Elena “Is it too early to sneak away?” I peer up at Mason from the center of our huddle, all my mates surrounding me on the dance floor. We’re not really dancing, a difficult task for four people to accomplish while refusing to stop touching each other. But at least out here, we can avoid being pulled in four different directions by well-meaning pack members who want to wish us well or introduce us to someone they’re sure we haven’t met before. Spoiler alert: we have. Twice. “Please say yes, daddy!” Aspen teases Mason. “I can’t wait for our special surprise!” Mason chuckles at his antics then snares our mate in his heated gaze. “Be careful what you wish for, baby boy.” His voice is deep, taking on a dark edge. “You might just get it.” He runs his tongue over Aspen’s neck, then latches onto his mark and sucks hard. I may not have bitten Aspen yet but even the hint of pleasure I feel through our shared bond with Mason sends a shiver of pleasure down my spine. Aspen’s wanto

    Mason Now that she’s the official Luna of the pack, Ellie can help with inducting our Betas, and I’m so excited this will be our first official act together. When I took over as Alpha, I could have chosen a Beta and even a Gamma for myself. I declined, thinking I would eventually fill those roles once I knew the pack better. Now I see why it never felt right to do so. The twins were always meant to be my Betas, one as a brother and one as a mate. Unfortunately, though the twins will both be making vows of loyalty to us as their Alpha and Luna, it’s tradition for the previous Beta to pass the torch. Something my grandfather never had either because he never trusted anyone enough to let them in. But once again, family is all too willing to step in and assist, ensuring the twins get the ceremony they deserve. My dads take the stage at the elders signal, each one standing in front of one of the twins. This time the elder slices my hand, my blood joining Ellie’s in the bowl. He pas

    Mason After my embarrassing outburst at the sight of my stunning mate, I silently praise every deity known to man for blessing me with the woman making her way down the aisle, drawing closer to me with every step she takes. Every step is one closer to the future I’ve dreamed of since long before I really understood what it meant to be a mate. A future I thought I’d lost forever. Standing on either side of me, Asher and Aspen are nearly vibrating out of their skin with the need to have our beautiful mate in their arms. Honestly, I’m not sure how any of us are going to make it through this ceremony without stripping her bare and taking her right here on this stage in front of everyone. And even if we manage that, we still have the after party filled with way too many people to get through. I take a few deep breaths to steady my racing heart, reminding myself what this night is all about and how far we’ve come to get here. No matter how luscious my mate looks and how much I want t

    Elena “Mmm, that feels amazing.” I moan as the massage therapist kneads my shoulders, loosening the knots I’ve managed to accumulate from the never-ending stress of the last few months. “Totally agree. We should do this at least monthly.” Livvy turns to grin at me from her massage table set up right next to mine. “As long as you just mean the massage and not the entire Luna ceremony then it’s a date.” I reach across the space between us to hook our little fingers together, sealing the plan with a pinky promise and we both giggle. A month has passed since Asher and Aspen's father was sentenced to life in a council prison, a place no one ever escapes from. With him locked away and the passing of their mother, ending the string of horrific murders she committed, Mason, the twins and I have finally been able to find some normalcy. Well, as normal as it gets when you’re settling in to a new pack and taking in droves of new members from another that’s crumbling. With the arrest
