All Chapters of Shattered Bonds: Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

Maeve goes inside to say goodbye to my mother and sisters. “You’re going to have to tell her,” my father says. “It will scare her off.” “You don’t know that.” “Dad, she’s been mistreated by werewolves for years. Hell, even I went to get her with the intention of killing her,” I say, running my hands through my curly hair. I hate that I went to her with such nefarious intentions. I know I scared her when I first snatched her to bring her to Rich. “I didn’t do myself any favors. She adores Einar, but if it were just me, she’d ignore me completely. And she doesn’t feel the mate bond. How am I supposed to explain it to someone that has no understanding of what it means to be mated to a werewolf?” I ask him. He leans forward and looks behind us, through the sliding glass doors, watching as my mother continues to work her own magic on my mate. “Your sisters could help you with that. You’re going to be spending the day with them tomorrow. Have them talk to her. I know they’re your litt

Fucking Cecelia. What is she doing at my bedroom door? She knows she’s not allowed on the Alpha floor unless she’s invited. And she hasn’t been invited. I can tell instantly that she’s looking down at Maeve, faking kindness, so I let Maeve know I’ll come get her soon, trying to get her away from Cecelia as quickly as possible. As Maeve walks away, Cecelia steps up to me, putting her hand on my chest. I frown down at her. What is she up to? “I was wondering if you wanted me to bring your breakfast to you this morning, Alpha,” she says, probably trying to be coy, but I have no interest. I’m thankful I’ve never slept with her. In truth, our father taught us the value of NOT sleeping with the she-wolves in our pack or our allied packs. Too many people in the packs know each other and I would never want my mate to be uncomfortable having to be around a woman I slept with. The college campus was a different story, but here, I've never slept with a she-wolf. “No thanks, Cecelia, and you

I have a moment to see what my mate would be like if she didn’t have the weight of the world and her family's survival on her shoulders. Watching her laughing with my sisters is the best thing I’ve seen in, well, maybe ever. Watching her actually let go of the stress that seems to constantly surround her, seeing what she would be like if she didn’t have to be so serious, I know I have to get her family back here, get them safe, so she can be this person all the time. I’m a bit sad when she finally remembers herself and looks at me, but I just smile at her. I’m so glad that she’s found this moment of happiness, even if it’s because my sisters love to harass me. “How are you feeling?” I ask her. “Better. I needed food and now that I’ve eaten, I should be good.” “Are you sure? I don’t want you to push it if you need to rest today. The middle grounds aren’t going anywhere,” I say. “No, I’ll be fine, really,” she says, moving her tray so she can stand. I jump up, taking the tray in on

I thought my heart was going to stop when Maeve asked the twins about me finding my mate. When Quinn started to hint to Maeve that I was her mate, I had to threaten her with telling Emerson that she thought he was her mate. That shut her up, even though Emerson already knows they are mates, and so do I. He approached me after he turned 18, letting me know. I’m thrilled my sister and best friend will be mates. And Quinn can already feel it. But still, she needs to butt out of my relationship with my mate. “You really should tell her,” Quinn and Malin do that thing where they both talk at once in my head. “So, the witch, huh?” Emerson asks me, having seen my reaction to Maeve's question. “Yeah. It’s not common knowledge though,” I tell him. “Make it common knowledge. If you’re not going to reject her, what are you waiting for? The only thing I’m waiting for is a birthday,” he says, looking at Quinn. “I don’t want to scare her,” I tell him. “So, don’t scare her. Just let her know wh

Wow, my mate just handled the sprites like a champ! They aren’t the easiest beings to follow because of that weird group think thing that they do, and I’m secretly excited to know that my mate only seems to be jealous of women who are actually trying to get me to mate with them, rather than the sprites who really just talk about anyone as if they aren’t standing there. As we walk back to the packhouse, I look over at her. “You seem to be handling this whole mate bond thing pretty well. I honestly waited so long to tell you because I was afraid I’d scare you.” “What made you change your mind?” “Emerson. He recognized that I was your mate by how I was responding to you. He told me that the longer I waited, the longer it would take for you to adjust to the idea so I was only extending the time until we could be together.” She stops and looks at me. “What does that mean, ‘be together’?” “Uh, well, we can figure that out, you know, together. But for me, it means that you and I are a m
