Epilogue: Malin

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

I hope you enjoyed Malin and Cohen’s story. Emerson and Quinn are up next. Their story will also be a novella.

    This novella is the 9th book in the Guardian series, the 5th in the Guardian Next Generation series. While it can be read as a stand-alone book, references will be made to other events and people without full description of those events here. 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

    My first evening in Canyon Ridge pack has been a bit overwhelming. I found out that I’m mated to Cohen, realized that basically everyone but me already knew that, was asked to be Cohen’s acting Luna until I can take on the role permanently when I turn 18, and then found out that Emlyn is planning to return to Shadow Falls with Rich. That means I only have a couple of days to learn everything I need to learn about being a Luna before Emlyn leaves.I’ve been in this pack many times over the years, but I’ve never learned all of the pack members’ names. They all know my name, of course, and they’ve started calling me Luna, which is also a bit overwhelming.Add to all of that, I had my first kiss. It was the everything that I have dreamed it would be and so much more. Cohen’s lips were warm, and his taste was like chocolate melting on my tongue.As soon as I get back to my room, I call Quinn. She answers on the first ring.“Oh my goddess, Malin, you have no idea what’s happened to me today

    The next day, I wake with a smile on my face. My mate is sweet and adventurous, but she’s also underage. I’m going to take it slow with her but I admit that I love waking up with her sweet smell in my nose and her scent all over my body. It’s worth the raging hard on that I had all night while we played around and even long after she had fallen asleep.That doesn’t even include how hard I was this morning. Ice water wouldn’t have been enough to alleviate the ache in my dick, so during my shower, I took care of my problem. Twice.Now, I walk down to my office, ready to start the day and have my meeting with Rich and Emerson. We need to talk about how we’re going to prepare for this impending war and protect each other’s packs in the process.“You smell like my sister,” Rich says, walking up behind me as I open my office door.“Yep and you smelled like Emlyn for how many years?”“Malin is my sister,” he growls as I open my door.I turn to face him. “Do you question my feelings for your

    Overwhelmed. That’s how I feel. Completely and totally overwhelmed. I don’t know how Emlyn does it. I’ve been listening to her all morning, watching while she makes the job of Luna look easy. How does she know how Rich, Emerson, and Cohen like their sandwiches? Even I didn't know that my mate prefers speared pickles on the side to pickle chips on his sandwich. How did she know? And it’s like it’s an afterthought for her, like ‘oh yes, don’t forget…’ Don’t forget?? You have to know something first before you can forget it! By the time Cohen’s meeting is done, I’m wondering if he is going to change his mind about me being his acting Luna. If I were him, I would try to keep Emlyn. “You’re going to be great,” Emlyn says as she walks out of the kitchen. She puts her hand on my shoulder and I’m not sure what she sees on my face, but she stops and pulls me into a hug. “I promise. It’s not easy, especially when you haven’t done it before. But once you find your way, it will get easier.”

    I’m standing on the stage, anxiously waiting for Malin to enter the gathering from the back of the packhouse. Since this is her acting Luna ceremony, she’s the last to arrive. I can’t believe my mate will now become part of my pack. While she may not yet be old enough for me to claim officially, this is the first step to making her mine. Emlyn is in the front row, looking distracted while holding her son. My Beta, Jace, adn Gamma, Charlie, are standing at my side. The moment Malin walks out, it’s like everyone and everything falls away. I can tell that the pack sprites helped with her hair. Her long blond hair is full of flowers but on her, it’s perfect. Her dress is light and flowy, not seductive, but just enough to give hints of her perfect body underneath. She looks like she just walked out of the forest, ready to take on the world. She has a very determined look on her face, something I’m not used to seeing. I wonder if I should have been more thoughtful about having her join my

    I’ve been naked before, just not usually in front of males, and definitely not in front of Alphas. My father and brothers would never allow it. My mouth went dry as I stood naked in front of Cohen, watching his glacier blue eyes darken as he looked over my body while we stood outside the shower. “Do you like what you see?” I ask boldly. “No. I love it,” he says, making me blush. “I am a lucky man,” he says, reaching out to stroke my hair, still full of flowers. “Beautiful innocence with a body that could make the angels weep with jealousy. And you’re all mine,” he says, his voice taking on a possessive tone I’ve never heard from him before. I’ve heard it plenty of times with my father, and even with Rich, but never from Cohen. “Do we need to do something with these flowers before we get into the shower?” he asks, his fingers stroking over my breasts like he did last night, making my body hum. “No, Holly said they would wash out when I showered.” I move to step into the shower, b

  • The Unprepared Luna   Chapter 26: Cohen

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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. We spen

    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

  • The Unprepared Luna   Chapter 19: Cohen

    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
