Chapter 22: Cohen

last update Last Updated: 2024-04-03 19:31:38
This birthday, more than any others, will be the most important birthday of Malin’s life. Not only will she turn 18, but she’ll fully recognize me as her mate and I’ll finally, finally be able to leave my mark on her neck and make her my Luna. I love this woman, adore her with everything in me, so I know that her birthday has to be perfect.

I call Emerson, knowing that he’ll be feeling the same about Quinn. And since he and I are mated to twins, I can expect that we’ll be doing a lot of birthdays together for the rest of our lives.

“You’re calling about our mates’ birthdays?” he asks by way of greeting.

“You got it. It needs to be special and they need to have something together,” I say.

“What about their Luna ceremonies?”

“I thought we’d plan them for the weekend after their birthday.”

“They’ll want to be there for the other. We should plan to have their ceremonies on different nights.”

“Agreed. I’m planning to mark Malin on her birthday,” I tell him.

“Same,” he says.

    Tomorrow is my birthday and I’m so excited. All day, Cohen’s death-by-chocolate cake scent has been getting stronger. I know he’s my mate, I expected his scent to become even more mouth-watering than it has been, but I’ve become so distracted that I can hardly focus on anything. ‘Let’s go for a run. I’m antsy and I want to get out,’ Keena says to me. ‘Antsy in a bad way?’ I ask as I walk outside, finding a place to strip before letting Keena forward. ‘Antsy like I can smell my mate and I want to ravage his body,’ Keena says. ‘That’s a good thing,” I tell her. ‘Not when our marks won’t stay until midnight tonight.’ ‘I don’t think Cohen is planning to mark us at midnight. He mentioned waiting until after our birthday party.’ ‘I can think of a few ways to get him to change his mind,’ Keena says, picking up the patrol trail and racing full on past the patrols, yipping a hello, before continuing on. ‘Show off,’ I tell her. ‘We’ll become their Luna this weekend. I don’t want to leav

    Every day somehow gets better and better with my mate. I thought sex with her was incredible before? Oh hell, no. The explosion that my body had when I sank my teeth into her marking spot was amazing. Not only was it the most intense orgasm I’d ever had until that moment, but Malin’s raw power flooded into me. I’m an Alpha, I’m already strong, but her power? Holy Mother Moon Goddess! Of course the moment she sank her canines into my marking spot, the intense orgasm I’d just had went out the window and THAT orgasm was the most extreme orgasm I’ve ever had. Both of us had ridden the wave of our orgasms, both of us needing to flood the other’s system with our venom. When we finally pulled our canines out of each other’s necks, our scents were so blended that I couldn’t tell where she stopped and I started. It’s the most perfect feeling I’ve ever had. She’s mine and now no one can ever question it. Now, I’m laying here with this perfect woman, my perfect mate, our perfect Luna lying on t

    I can’t believe that everyone is here. I expected Quinn, of course, and my parents and Reagan. There was a strong possibility that Rich would be here too, but not Leana, Xander, or Cayd. First thing I do is race to my twin. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” We’d already spoken earlier. I’d been so excited to not only wish her a happy birthday but to tell her that I was now a marked and claimed woman. She had excitedly told me that she was too. “Let’s see!” she says, pulling back and looking at my neck. I realize that while my sister and I aren’t identical twins, we unknowingly dressed in nearly identical dresses today and she must have had her hair done by sprites as well. The only difference I can tell between us is that the sprites have accented her natural curl while my hair is still straight. Even the flowers in her hair look like the ones in mine. As she looks at my mate mark, I look at hers. Then we both squeal and hug again. “Can I get in on this?” our brother Cayd asks. “Cayd!” we yell i

    Malin’s birthday was a huge success. Everyone had a great time, including my mate and her twin. I spoke to Emerson while we watched our mates greet their family and we agreed that I would have Malin’s Luna ceremony on Friday night while he would have Quinn’s on Saturday. I was surprised that Emerson agreed so readily with me going first, but I’m thrilled. The sooner that my mate is officially my Luna, the better. After Malin’s birthday, the pack began working on her Luna initiation and the party afterward. The same groups of people are invited and because becoming a Luna is so important to a pack, and our packs are so close, I expect everyone to attend both ceremonies. “My sister seems happy,” Cayd says from his chair across from me. “I had some trepidation about her success with being a Luna, but she seems to have settled in pretty well. Your pack obviously adores her.” The night after Malin’s party, we’d had our movie night. I’ve been busy, focusing on Malin and her ceremony, but

    One Year Later If anyone had told me when I was growing up that my life would get better after I met my mate and became a Luna, I would have laughed at them. I was raised in a loving family, surrounded by parents, brothers, sisters, and pack members who loved me. But none of that comes close to the love of a mate, none of that comes close to feeling the love and adoration of a pack that is yours to care for. Some might feel overwhelmed by the pressure of having to care for so many. For me, it feels like home. “What’s got that smile on your face, my twin?” Quinn asks me. We’re currently in the middle grounds, watching our oldest pups, both boys, running around while our twins rest in their carriers beside us. I guess as twins, it makes sense that both Quinn and I would have twins. What we didn’t expect is that we’d both have a boy first, and then we’d both get pregnant with twin girls. Our packs will never be the same if Cohen and Emerson are any indication. Cohen loves our son, but

It is recommended that you read the other books in this series before this one.--------- “I need your help, Emlyn,” I say as I pace back and forth in my office. I need to figure out how to get my mate here before the war and I need to figure out how to tell Emlyn that I want my mate as acting Luna, even though I just got Emlyn to agree and move here to do it.“I thought that was kind of what I was doing here, Cohen,” she says. I go to run my hands through my long hair, but I forgot I put it up in a man-bun. I desperately need a haircut.“I had planned to complete the Luna ceremony this week to make you an official pack member. But now, after hearing about the concerns for a pending war…” I stop, looking at her, hoping she’ll understand.“I know

    It’s finally happening! Quinn and I are finally being taken seriously as Guardians.It’s not like we haven’t proven our strength on the training field or in sparring matches against our brothers, but no one has ever treated Quinn and I like they’ve treated Leana, Lily, or Emlyn. Even Riley, Emlyn’s younger sister is seen as more of a Guardian than we are. Heck, even our younger sister Reagan is seen as more of a Guardian, and she’s three years younger than we are.But when our mother called Quinn and I to Rich’s office to tell us that a war is coming that that we were going to be stationed in the other packs to help with their defense, all of that changed. I’m being assigned to Canyon Ridge Pack with Alpha Cohen and Quinn has been assigned to Safe Haven pack with Alpha Emerson.I can feel her excitement at being assigned to Safe Haven. Quinn has had a crush on the stuffy Alpha for years.For me, I’ve always thought that Cohen was the most attractive of all the new Alphas. And unlike E

    I feel like a hive of bees have taken up residence in my stomach, making feel a low level of nausea. Malin is arriving today and somehow, I have to tell her that she’s my mate. I know she’s too young to feel the mate bond, but I have no intention of letting what happened to Rich and Emlyn happen to me.I know the pack is taking bets on whether or not Rich will punch me because I’m his sister’s mate. He doesn’t have any room to talk. He was dating Emlyn for two years without any of us knowing.When I get the notice that Rich and Malin have arrived, I take a couple of deep breaths. Honestly, I’m more worried about Malin punching me than Rich. Rich’s punch will hurt, but Malin’s punch will hurt my heart. It would mean that she doesn’t immediately accept me. The thought makes the bee’s nest start buzzing in my stomach again.Deep breath, count to 10, and now I hear them pulling in front of the packhouse. I need to get down there to greet them.Just as reach the bottom step, Malin walks in

    I was so happy that Cohen’s birthday was a success. Not only that, I got to spend some unexpected time with my twin. Clint was great, enjoying his time with Cohen and the pack, so Quinn and Riley helped me to manage the party. I kept watch over Cohen, making sure that he was having a good time and it really seemed that he was. “Wow, your pack adores you as much as ours adores Quinn, Malin,” Riley says as we fill drinks for the pups who are running around and dancing to the music. “And Emerson hasn’t taken his eyes off of you tonight, Quinn,” she says in a teasing voice. “So, things are good with you two?” I ask her. I’ve noticed that my twin hasn’t seemed as happy lately. "Yes," she says, smiling at her mate. His lips spread into the biggest smile I’ve ever seen on his face, which is to say, barely more than a twitch. Emerson, the stuffy Alpha, doesn’t smile. “Oh, they’re much better than good. I’m not sure what got into our stoic Alpha but he’s become much more openly affectionat

    Malin and I have an incredible dinner. The entire time, I can barely drag my eyes away from her, watching her as she tells me about everything that is going on with her, all the things that she’s been doing around the pack, all the meals she’s been trying and failing at. I take every opportunity I can to touch her, stroke her cheek, hold her hand, or kiss her. Each time, she leans into my touch, reaches out so I can touch her, and by the end of dinner, I’ve once again recharged by being with my mate. I feel lighter just having spent this time with Malin. “Did you want to see a dessert menu?” the waiter asks. “Actually, we have dessert back at the pack,” Malin tells him. When he leaves to get the check I turn to her. “Is my dessert apple flavored?” I ask her, knowing my eyes have darkened again. She knows that she tastes like a delectable apple pie to me. “Maybe,” she says, and I love the teasing tone in her voice. After we pay the check, we walk through the crowded dining room aga

    I wasn’t sure if Malin would remember my birthday, but I should have known that she would. That’s the kind of person she is, the kind who doesn’t forget things like birthdays. The kind of person who will have amazing parties for our pups so that the pack can celebrate them, but also so that our pups know that their parents care enough to remember the important things in life. Tonight, my sweet mate is taking me out to dinner. I couldn’t be more thrilled. A night alone with my mate and we’re going to Ethereal, the only upscale restaurant in our local area. It’s not the upscale restaurant that has me excited, it’s that I’ll be walking in with my mate, and I’ve seen Malin dressed up on rare occasions. She’s the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen on a normal day. Dressed up for dinner, on my birthday? Wowza! I’ll have the most gorgeous woman in the world on my arm tonight and I can’t wait to show her off. Knowing that my mate will look stunning, I do my best to make sure that I look good
