After breakfast, I realized just how alone I was going to be.First, I said goodbye to my father. He needed to head back since Rich was still in Canyon Ridge and Xander was needed at Holstin Enterprises.“You’re going to be great, sweetheart. But, if for any reason at all you’re not happy, you can always come home. You’re a Guardian. Rich will be thrilled to have you in the pack.”“Thanks, Dad. I’m sure it will be fine.”He had pulled me into a big, dad hug. “I have always wanted better than ‘fine’ for all of my children. I want you to have what your mother and I have, something spectacular, something incredible, something no words can describe. Anything less than that, isn’t good enough. Remember that, my daughter.”“Thanks, Dad.”After that, I’d said goodbye to Riley and Clint. I was truly worried about them. My family, more than any other, knows about the horrors of vampires. My mother’s skin was a constant reminder to us growing up. She’d been a vampire prince’s blood bag for seven
The Stoic Alpha Chapter 8: Emerson
I had no idea how much I was going to miss Quinn when I went to Cohen's pack. I’m used to living without her, but now that she knows she’s mine, now that she’s in my pack for good, I want to be there with her. I want to watch her spread her happiness and sunlight all over my pack. Our pack. I need to remember this pack is as much hers now as it is mine. Which makes me wonder how my father will respond now.After reminding Rich that he has no place to judge me or Cohen for being mated to his sisters, we were finally able to get down to business. Since I’m the one that has heard that there is another Alpha with a vendetta against us and the Guardians beside Alpha Wyatt, I give what little information I have. We need more. We need to know who it is so that we can watch them and not have a sneak attack.After lunch, Emlyn interrupts us to bring Leander in for Rich to feed. The moment she puts their son in his arms, smiling down at the two of them, I feel a yearning like nothing I’ve ever f

I have no idea what happened between our run and our shift that caused Emerson to become so…angry. It felt angry at least. He’s gritting his teeth and frowning at me. I mean, maybe he’s embarrassed that I’m seeing him aroused, but he’s not the first man that I’ve seen like that. When you live in a pack and half the time pack members are naked, you see a lot of erections.Add to that the number of times I’ve walked in on my parents or other wolves having sex in the packhouse or on the pack lands, and it’s not something new.‘But it is something quite large,’ Minka purrs.Yeah, there’s that. I mean, I know he’s an Alpha, and Alpha’s, at least the ones I know, are larger everywhere than other wolves. But Emerson’s erection was….I gulp thinking about that entering my body.‘Minka, how will it even fit?’‘Tightly. He’ll fill us so completely,’ she purrs, rolling over in my head and exposing her belly as if she’s ready to submit to Emerson right now.As concerned as I am about the dynamics o

No one in my life has ever dared to lay a hand on me. My parents never did and no one else would ever hit their future Alpha, so feeling Quinn’s hand across my cheek was unexpected, but it shouldn’t have been. I was way out of line. If she had disrespected one of my sisters like I did to her brother, I would have reacted too.However, I had walked into my packhouse and seen my mate, her perfect ass cheeks hanging out from under that shirt, talking and laughing with my warriors, her long muscular legs on display for them and everyone. I’ve never considered myself a jealous man until that moment, but I had seen red. For the first time in my life, my emotions had overpowered my brain. It hadn’t even been a competition. I had acted without thinking and I had directed that anger on my mate. It was wrong and I shouldn’t have done it, which is why I won’t allow her to apologize publicly. I was as wrong as she was.All of my life, I have strived to remain calm, to be a dutiful, thoughtful, an

I had hoped that getting Emerson to open up a little would help him to see that I’m ready to be his partner, not just when it comes to supporting him as an Alpha, not just as his Guardian, but also as his mate. Everything had been fine and then it hadn’t.I sigh. He said he was leaving so I could talk to Malin, but I already talked to Malin and I’m not going to interrupt her acting Luna ceremony with my problems. I wanted a challenge and I guess I’m getting one. It’s just…Cohen seems to want Malin, Rich always wanted Emlyn except when he was under a spell, my brother Xander always wanted Maeve, Clint seems to adore Riley.... so what’s wrong with me?‘Nothing’s wrong with you. You’re perfect,’ Minka says to me, but I can hear her sadness at Emerson’s hasty retreat tonight too.I get ready for bed, thinking about the conversation.‘Do you think he felt vulnerable after talking to us? I mean, we know it’s hard for Alpha males to feel vulnerable, even with their mates,’ I ask Minka.‘Dad i
The Stoic Alpha Chapter 12: Grace
I think about Quinn's lonliness as I walk to Emerson’s office. Cara and Rik have families the same size as mine and Eli's, three children each. However, Angel and Liam have seven with the twins being second to last in the family, meaning they’ve been raised with a large family, adding in mates, now adding in baby Leander. However, here, Quinn has only Emerson and I’m not sure that my reserved son is doing enough to keep his new mate happy.When I arrive, Emerson has a chair pulled up beside his and I see that I’m being included on a video conference with the other Alphas and my Guardian sisters. After saying hello, we talk about the council and Alpha Wyatt, trying to figure out who and when they will attack.There’s a soft knock at the door and Quinn walks in carrying a tray of food. I jump up to help her as Emerson is speaking.“Is everything okay?” she whispers to me.“Yes, just trying to figure out who Alpha Wyatt is working with.”“Okay,” she says, looking over at Emerson. My son l

My days and nights begin to develop a pattern. In the morning, I take Emerson’s warrior training. After breakfast, I run safe room drills with the omegas. That continues until just before four o’clock when I run warrior training. Emerson joins my warrior training in the afternoon and like me in the morning, he participates and spars with his pack members. Each day, we spar with someone new so that several pack members get to push themselves to get stronger. Uncle Eli and Aunt Grace also join both warrior sessions, so the pack warriors are getting stronger and faster.After my warrior training, Emerson and I run the borders, letting Minka and Clovis run and play together, but also checking to make sure that we don’t smell any unusual scents in the area. We always run the borders twice, and by the end, Clovis and Minka are playing more than monitoring the borders. Unlike Emerson, Clovis has no problem showing Minka affection, always rubbing himself against her, scenting her, and giving h
The Stoic Alpha Chapter 14: Emerson
Everything about Quinn has my body responding to her and my mind shutting down. I nearly blew my load when she smiled that gorgeous fucking smile at me. I had to look away and I asked her what she and Malin talked about. And because I was trying to get my own body under control, I nearly missed her sweet blush. That makes me wonder what she’s keeping from me.‘Why would she tell you anything? You never tell her how you truly feel?’ Clovis grumbles in my head.‘I told her I’m thrilled they are our mates,’ I say to my grouchy wolf.“Oh, big deal. I’m thrilled our omegas made steaks last night for dinner too. It’s not the same thing as telling her you love her, and you know it. You should tell her how much she means to you, how much you want her and even if you don’t do anything about it because you’re an idiot, you could at least let her know that your body, our body, responds to her all the fucking time.’‘And that might just scare her off, Clovis. Did you think about that?’ I ask him.
