Thank you for reading!
Asher Since when is my life the plot for a really bad horror movie? And that’s part of the problem. Maybe it’s always been this way but I can’t fucking remember. First, some guy comes to my home and tries to convince me we’re long lost twins, separated at birth or some shit, I don't know. Then my gentle, soft-spoken mate shows up and knocks him out. It’s like a bad dream I can’t wake up from. Her actions in that moment and all that have followed since seem so unlike the woman I know. I’m racking my brain trying to recall anything from the past that would indicate she’s capable of such behavior but I’m coming up empty. And I mean completely empty. “What’s wrong, sweetheart?” Nissa asks when she notices the frown I’m wearing. “I feel like I’m losing my mind. I can’t even remember how we met.” I admit, shaking my head to clear the fog. “Oh, sweetheart, you’re just overtired. You were meant to be resting when that crazy man invaded our home. Let’s get you back to bed.” She
Hello Wonderful Readers! My apologies for not having an update for you this evening. I'm fighting a migraine that just hasn't allowed me to give the story the attention it deserves. Hopefully tomorrow will be better and I will have some content for you. In the meantime, I want to thank you all for the support and love you've shown Elena and her men! I love sharing this hourney with each of you! Things are precarious for Mason, Elena and the twins right now but we are very close to the pinnacle of their story. Hang in there with me for a few more chapters as we see how the story unfolds. Much Love, Cara
Mason “Breakfast, courtesy of your wonderful mate!” My sister announces cheerfully, handing me the bag of food. “I helped stuff the tortillas so, you’re welcome.” “That was so sweet of you girls. Thank you sweetheart!” My mom pulls her in for a hug but my eyes are still fixed on the door, waiting for Ellie to walk through it. “Liv, where’s El? Why isn’t she with you?” I ask when she doesn’t appear. “Oh, she said to tell you she’d meet you here, later.” Her eyes flit around, looking anywhere but at me. “Olivia, what aren’t you telling me?” I growl, an intimidation tactic I know won’t work with her since she knows I’d never harm a hair on her head. “Damn it, Mace! Are you really gonna force me to break girl code?” She deflects. But she must see the desperation in my eyes because her face softens and she groans in defeat. “Fine, I’ll tell you what I know because I’m a little worried too. “We were packing up the food and she was planning to come with me to deliver it when a
Mason “Mason, run!” Ellie screams, just before the whole house begins to shake and the wind roars through like thunder but she;s lost her mind if she thinks I'm leaving here without her. I barely have time to duck as pieces of wood siding fly from the walls. Jagged planks and splinters whiz by like shrapnel, embedding themselves with deafening thuds into every available surface. I crawl under the cheap formica and metal dining table for refuge but even the floor beneath me rattles in a bid to break free. “Ellie!” I shout over the uproar but my voice doesn’t carry above the din. I have to get to her. I have no idea what’s happening but we’ll be ripped to shreds if we don’t find someplace to take cover. She may have told me to run, but there is no way I’d ever leave her behind. I army crawl in the direction of her furious screams, keeping my head low, but I still feel the fragments tearing at my skin. Knowing my mate is likely suffering the same only makes me move faster. I’m
Kaden “This can’t be the right fucking address.” I mumble to myself as I pull up to the run down shack sitting on the lot Mason directed me to. His car is here as well as a pack vehicle my sister probably ‘borrowed’ and neither of them are in sight so I can only assume they’re inside. Whatever trouble Mason thought Ellie was in, I hope to fuck he got it wrong. But I’m not stupid. There’s nothing good to be found in a dilapidated shithole in the middle of nowhere. If she’s inside, Goddess only knows what she walked into. “What have you gotten yourself into now, little sis?” I grumble, but the truth is, I’m scared to fucking death for her. I hop out of the cab of my truck, waving at the cavalcade of warriors to pull in beside me. With several units still in Sacred Moon keeping the peace in Mason’s absence and a killer still on the loose, it took me a while to round up the few men we could spare. “What’s the plan here, Alpha?” One of the squad leaders hurries over for instr
Aspen “When the fuck is she going to wake up?” I bark at the doctor, continuing to pace at the foot of Elena’s bed. When Kaden told me what happened, I raced my ass here at record speed, dumped my very confused twin brother in a nearby hotel and rushed to the hospital. That was hours ago and my mate still hasn’t opened her eyes. My wolf is about to tear through my skin if we don’t get some answers and that isn’t a sight any of these humans are prepared for. “Sir, I know this must be very difficult for you and I’m sorry I don’t have the answer you’re looking for. As I told you’re, uh . . . . partner,” his eyes dart to Mason shamelessly snuggled up to our mate in her hospital bed. When I introduced myself as her husband after he’d already claimed the title, I thought the man’s head would explode. “We managed to stop the bleeding and successfully repaired the wound. “Thankfully, her twin was here to donate blood. We replaced what she lost so her vital signs are stable now and w
Elena The first thing I notice is how incredibly warm and comfortable I am. Whatever I’m laying on is the perfect combination of firm with just the right amount of give. I’m so relaxed and cozy, I never want to move. Next, I’m hit with this amazing smell. Whiskey and leather mixed with the forest after a rain. It’s heavenly and despite the fact I’m feeling a little waterlogged, I still want to bathe in the delicious scent. “Mmm,” The appreciative moan spills from my lips. “Ellie!” The comfy surface shifts beneath me and I whine in protest. “Shit! Sorry! Can you open your eyes for me, little one?” I know that voice. Mason. And those smells, my Alpha’s scent with a hint of Aspen. My mates are here. But I’m so tired! Even they aren’t enough to convince me I need to wake up. “Five more minutes.” I wiggle around, snuggling back into what I now recognize as Mason’s muscular form. “El-” His words are lost in the sound of the door banging open, followed by the smoky scent of a
Nissa To say I was perturbed to come back to my current home away from home and find my ‘mate’ had not only liberated his brother from my little workshop but had also disappeared himself would be a bit of an understatement. Luckily, one of the skills I’ve perfected over the years is tracing my own magic. If I’ve put a spell on it, I can find it. Imagine my delight when I follow the trail to a human town, and more specifically, a human hospital. Humans are easy to fool. One flick of my wrist and they will see anything I want them to see. It will make it so much easier to recoup what I lost. I put a lot of work into Asher West and I’m not willing to let him slip away along with the thousands of dollars his father owes me. Which is why I find myself in his fated mates hospital room dressed as a nurse, ready to take what’s mine. “It’s nice to meet you, Elena. My name is Nissa.” I finally greet the far too chirpy woman when my initial attempts to enter her mind fail. Asher is
Aloha Wonderful Readers, That's a wrap for Elena, Mason and the twins! Thank you for joining me for their journey! I hope you enjoyed the ride. I appreciate every single comment and review so please share your thoughts! You all make me smile, laugh, and keep going when I;m having a bad day so thank you for all your support! I have a short holiday planned with my family and then I will start writing Olivia's story. I hope to have a good start on it and begin publishing around the first week of June. You'll find out right away what led her to Elllie's door in the epilogue. And of course, as Mason's sister and Ellie's best friend, we'll see more of them in Olivia's story too. Stay tuned! Much love, Cara
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
