Chapter 16: Emerson

Author: Cooper
last update Last Updated: 2024-08-12 06:25:19
I desperately wanted to talk to Quinn this morning. After running off and listening to my wolf berate me for hours, I knew I had to come clean. I had to tell her that I have absolutely no control over my body when I'm with her. If that's what she wants from me, then so be it. My need to talk to her was only reinforced when she avoided me this morning and I saw the regret in her eyes. Clovis is right, she thinks I rejected her. She couldn't be farther from the truth.

But before I can even begin to tell her how sorry I am for my massive freak out last night, we get the call that the war has started. My mate, my strong, fearless mate, doesn’t hesitate. She leaps and is running to the battle, willing to take on the entire field of warriors on her own. But I won’t let that happen. Clovis is shifting and racing to keep up with our speedy mate a moment before I begin sending out orders.

‘Emerson, do you think it’s a good idea for me to stay here?’ my father questions me.

‘Yes. Don’t argue,’ I

I didn't want to leave you hanging in the last chapter so you've got a second one. What do you think of Emerson's frustration and Quinn understating her injuries?

Our of all the mates to Guardians Emerson is definitely my least favorite. I would be absolutely miserable if I was her.

I feel that Alpha Eli should have given Emerson some pointers!! Emerson is pure. He has no knowledge or experience in being romantic and he has no idea how to handle the feelings he has with Quinn. I’m hoping his momma will guide him. Or Eli will help him. Eli dropped the ball on that aspect

It’s not that’s he’s trying to dominate her, he has no prior knowledge of how to be intimate with a female. He’s never had any experience. Quinn was his first kiss ever. He don’t know how to respond to the feelings he is feeling when it comes to Quinn. Alpha Eli dropped the ball on that aspect.

    I come awake slowly, feeling the pain in my side.‘Minka?’‘I’m healing us. Now that the bullet is out, I’m healing, but the bones will take some time.’‘How many bones broken?’ I ask her.‘Two ribs, multiple fractures in them. They cracked every time we took a hit, but we’re okay. I just struggled to heal us around the bullet and try to keep our ribs from puncturing our lungs.’‘You’re amazing, Minka!’‘You’re pretty amazing too, Quinn.’I open my eyes and I’m disappointed to see Aunt Grace and Riley, but not Emerson.“Hey! There she is!” Riley says, coming over.“How do you feel?” Aunt Grace asks me.“Sore, but Minka says she’s healing us. She said they got the bullet out?”“Yep. The doc said Minka was healing their incisions faster than they could stitch you up,” Riley says.“It’s good to be a Guardian,” I say, sitting up gingerly as pain shoots up my side. “What happened at Shadow Falls? Is everyone ok?” I ask, suddenly remembering my family.“Yes. Emlyn apparently did some incredi

    “I think I should lead the ceremony, Emerson. I was the Alpha for many years. These are my people too,” my father says.“Yes, they were your pack, but I’m the Alpha now. They need to hear from me,” I say. I’m already stressed because of Quinn’s injury. She’s healed and she’s here, but the thought of losing her had me feeling out of control again. Now, I’m trying to keep myself together to bury the dead in our pack and rather than supporting me, my father is here still trying to insert himself as Alpha.“This isn’t the time for pride, son. This is the time to do what’s best for the pack,” he says.I’m about to respond when Quinn steps in. “What do you think is best for the pack, Uncle Eli?”“They need to know that their leaders support them, that their Alphas support them and are here for them,” he says.Once again, I’m about to say something, something I would probably regret, but my mate inserts herself. I’m not sure if this is a mate thing, a Guardian thing, or a Quinn thing, but I h

    “Lady Luna Quinn!”“Lady Luna Quinn!”“Lady Luna Quinn!”Three distinct voices call out to me.“Yes, Little Lady Sprites,” I say without thinking. I haven’t even looked up when I hear them gasp.I quickly look over to see their eyes are wide and their mouths are open looking like big ‘O’s. I’m on the verge of apologizing when they start speaking again.“Did you hear what she called us?”“It’s like she knows us.”“Like she SEES us.”“She called us little, and we are little.”“She called us lady and we are ladies,”“She called us sprites and we are sprites.”“It’s perfect!”“More than perfect.”“It’s incredible!”The begin to flit away as I sigh in relief that I didn’t hurt their feelings with such an unconscious response to them asking for me.“Wait. Did you want to talk to me?” I ask them.“Oh no!”“Not now!’“Now we have to go tell everyone.”“They’ll be so jealous.”“They’ll want to be seen.”“And heard,” they say, flitting away.I chuckle and turn, seeing Emerson watching the sprite

    “I’m so excited that you’re here mom. I’ve missed you so much. Tell me everything that’s going on in the pack,” I say.“Sweetheart, why don’t you go get a shower and then maybe you and I can have lunch together, spend some girl time. Your father wanted to talk to Emerson while we’re here anyway and we can get caught up. I want to hear all about what you’re doing as well.”I race upstairs to get showered, not wanting to miss a moment with my parents. They’re only staying one night and soon they’ll be going on vacation for a month. It’ll be the first vacation that they’ve taken that Malin and I didn’t go.I have a moment of sadness for that. It’s just another reminder of how my life has changed. I wonder if Emerson has ever considered going on a vacation.I race out of my room and run smack dab into the man himself.“Oof!” I say, bouncing off his chest. He’s just finished his shower too and he smells delicious, so earthy and masculine. Minka sends a vivid image of me licking my way up Em

    Damn my mate is sexy. And strong. It’s smart to never forget just how strong a Guardian is, and to never underestimate one. I don’t usually go at Quinn with my full strength, unwilling to hurt her in any way, but she couldn’t focus this morning, and she needed a challenge. Joke’s on me, she’s been holding out on me too.Landing on your back hard, getting the wind knocked out you, and having that moment of being unable to breathe while your mate pins you to the ground and claims her victory over you in front of your entire pack is equal parts thrilling and humbling. I’m going to have to start pushing Quinn harder in our sparring sessions so she can push me harder. I need to up my game if I’m going to be worthy of having Quinn as a mate.I do feel better when Uncle Liam lets me know that not only he, but all of Quinn’s brothers, have fallen to her with that move. Now I know to watch out for it. But it makes me wonder, if she’s never used that move on me, what else is she holding back on.

    The next morning, when we say goodbye to her parents, Quinn’s much more tearful than I expected. She and her mother hug for a long time, and I can see Aunt Angel whispering in Quinn’s ear, something I can't hear. Whatever it was, Quinn nods and then she hugs her father as I hug Aunt Angel.“Take care of yourself, Emerson, and take care of my daughter,” she says, kissing my cheek. My parents come out to say goodbye to them as well and when they're gone, I look at Quinn.“Are you alright?” I ask.She nods, wiping the tears from her face. I think about what Uncle Liam said and I step up, cupping her face in my hands and wiping her tears with my thumbs.“I don’t like seeing you cry,” I say, honestly.Her hands come to mine, holding them against her face. “I don’t do it very often.”“No, you don’t. I hope you know that I’m always here for you, Quinn. If ever, whenever, you need me.”She smiles, but it doesn’t spread to her eyes. “I know,” she says pulling away from me and walking inside. I

    It’s been over a week since my parents were here. I’ve been trying to get the courage to do what my mother said, to demand what I want from Emerson when we’re alone, and I think I’ve done it a bit. I’ve noticed that he touches me more often, especially when we’re alone. He’ll stroke my hand, sometimes my cheek and lately he’s started kissing me goodnight. Each time, the kiss seems to get deeper and I can feel him responding to me, but he’s still not willing to go any further.I’m in my office one morning when my twin calls to invite me to Cohen’s birthday party. It’s so good to hear from her and as usual, she realizes immediately that something is wrong. I had told her of my epic fail on trying to seduce Emerson.“I wouldn’t call it a failure. For Emerson, those were huge strides, but perhaps he needs to go slower. Going from total control to no control couldn’t have been easy for your stuffy Alpha.”From anyone else, I would have probably growled or put them in their place, but this i

    I watch as Riley walks, no stomps, out of my office. I’ve only ever seen Riley cry once in my life and that was when we saw Emlyn bruised from Rich cheating on the mate bond that he couldn’t feel.When the door closes, I scrub my hands over my face. I’ve been trying to find the right time to have my night with Quinn. And I’ve tried to be better about giving her affection when we’re alone. But I can only do so much before I’m on the verge of exploding and I have to back off.I’ve noticed, however, that Quinn still looks like a wilting flower. Obviously, Riley is seeing or hearing more than I am, and I know I need to do something, something more than I've been comfortable doing so far. Before I can decide what that is, there’s a knock at my door.“Come in, Quinn,” I say, smelling her sweet mandarin orange scent. Goddess, the closer she gets to her birthday, the better she smells.“Hey,” she says and I see instantly what Riley is upset about. Quinn looks sad. She’s never looked sad and it

    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.

    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’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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
