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

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

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

We’ve been protected not only by our father, the previous Alpha, and our mother, one of the last two Guardians who was gifted her Guardian wolf spirit by the Moon Goddess herself, but we also have three older brothers. No one, and I mean no one, messes with us.You add to that our Guardian lineage, and both of Malin and I are powerful forces in our own right. Most people don’t see that, though. Most people think that we’re the sweet, innocent, delicate c

Quinn is arriving in my pack today. The woman I’ve had a crush on for years, long before I turned eighteen and knew she was my mate. Since that day, I’ve been totally, completely, in love with her.‘We both have,’ Clovis, my wolf purrs in my head.‘Easy, Clovis. She’s still underage and I have no intention of having a repeat of what happened to Emlyn happen to Quinn.’‘Well, since we don’t have a witch casting a spell on us, I’m pretty sure we’re okay,’ he says snarkily.“Emerson, sweetheart, did you need my help with anything? Is Quinn’s room ready for her?” my mom asks, interrupting my conversation with my wolf.“It is, mom. Thanks.”“Are you excited, honey? You’ll have three Guardians in your pack.”“We have more pack members and more sprites, especially since we got the influx of pack members from Shadow Falls pack, so it makes sense that we’d have more Guardians,” I say, matter of factly.“Always so serious, my son,” my mother says, watching me closely. “Are you at least a little

Being here is making the reality of everything come crashing down on me. By tonight, I’ll be the acting Luna of a pack and I have absolutely no clue how to be a Luna. Add to that, we’re on the brink of a war, and while I know Minka, my wolf, is a Guardian and a good fighter, we’ve never truly been tested.I feel tears prick my eyes, but I won't let them fall. It’s time for me to show that I’m a strong woman, a Guardian, my mother’s daughter. When my best friend came rushing up, throwing her arms around me, I finally feel myself relax.“Finally. It’s so boring around here with Mr. Stuffy Pants,” she says, eyeing her brother.“Riley, he’s your Alpha!” I say, admonishing her. Personally, I’m really hoping to get a peek at what’s underneath that stoic exterior while I’m here.“And I’m his Beta, so what?” she asks, rolling her eyes at her brother.“Technically, Clint is my Beta,” Emerson says behind me.“Technically, Clint is my Beta,” Riley says, lowering her voice and mimicking her broth

Why the fuck hadn’t I figured out how to tell Quinn that I was her mate? Oh, right. I hadn’t planned to tell her at all. I was going to wait until her eighteenth birthday, when she called me mate, and until then, I’d planned to threaten anyone who even looked at her with interest.But after talking to my mother and also seeing how sad she looked at dinner, I want her to know that she’s here for more than just protecting the pack. She’s here for good. I want her to know that she’s mine.Uncle Liam picked up on what I was saying earlier, and he basically threatened me to be a good mate to his daughter. I’d like to say that’s what has me flustered, but it’s not that at all.It’s the absolutely stunning woman in front of me who smells like mandarin oranges. I had walked in, knowing that she’s going to be mine in a couple of months, and all I had wanted to do when I saw her standing there in that gorgeous dress that brought out the color of her eyes was to strip it off of her and make her

Emerson’s my mate! I knew it! Well, I’d hoped that he was my mate. The man I’ve been in love with since I can remember is going to be mine for the rest of my life.I know I have a huge smile on my face as he escorts me to the stage for my acting Luna ceremony. All I can think about is finding a way to get under that tough exterior. I want to know the man underneath and I hope he’ll let me discover all his secrets.‘He won’t have a choice. He’s a mere man, we’re Guardians,’ Minka purrs.‘I take it you intend to find out what’s under Clovis tough exterior too?’ I ask her.‘I don’t think Clovis will give me as much trouble as Emerson will give you, but we’ll see. I love a challenge,’ she says and I nearly laugh out loud. But I restrain myself, as we step onto the stage.I look out over the pack, the pack that will officially be mine in a few months. I see my father smiling proudly at me, Riley, Clint, Uncle Eli and Aunt Grace with various degrees of pride and excitement on their faces, I
