All Chapters of Shattered Bonds: Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

To say I’m feeling overwhelmed would be an understatement. I’m mated to a werewolf that wants to get married and have kids. Or, mate and have pups, in werewolf language. I’d probably have told him to leave me alone, but he looked so desperate for me to agree to spend time with him, so I agreed to the date. It’s not a hardship, I just don’t know that I can give him what he wants or expects from me. I still have Meadow and Tate to think about, although, I wonder if he was serious about bringing them here. If they fall under the pack’s protection, that’s better than anything I can do for them. “So, you didn’t tell me, where is it that you wanted to go on our date?” he asks as we continue walking toward the packhouse. I don’t know if I want to risk telling him where I want to go. I remember the first time my parents took me to the Ferris wheel downtown. There were lots of couples of all ages riding it. Some were hiding their eyes, some would scream as the wheel looped over the top and c

I’m shocked that Guardian Angel isn’t upset that her son is mated to me, and as I look around, I realize that none of them are surprised. “Do you want to join us for dinner at our place?” Angel asks me. “I’m taking her out,” Xander says. I turn to look at him. “You are?” “I am. I thought I could show you around the pack lands a bit more.” “Where are you taking her?” Quinn asks. He looks at me. “Ethereal.” Both Quinn and Malin begin ohhhing and ahhhing. “Wait, what is she going to wear?” Malin asks. “What kind of restaurant is it? I only have jeans,” I say. “Jeans are fine,” Xander says. Both Malin and Quinn roll their eyes, shaking their head. “Did you make a reservation?” Alpha Liam asks his son. “No, I was hoping since it’s a weekday that we could get a table." "I would call if I were you," Alpha Liam says. “This sounds very fancy, I don’t have any fancy clothes,” I say. “We do!” the twins say together. “We’ll go get something for you to wear and come back. You showe

Xander and I head downstairs to the spell room. When I woke up this morning, my first thought should have been that I was tangled up in bed with a man. A very sexy man that seems to really like me. But no. All I could think about was that these shifters have senses much more heightened than I even realize and what if he can smell my morning breath. Yep, that’s what was running through my head, morning breath. Not the massive hard on that was pressing against me, not the fact that I slept better than I have in years, not even the fact that I desperately didn’t want to get up and leave Xander’s warmth. Morning breath. That’s what my brain latched on to. I practically scrubbed the enamel off my teeth trying to make sure that they were sufficiently clean before I opened the door and there he was, once again looking like he just stepped out of some surfing magazine. I mean seriously, the man is ridiculously gorgeous. When we get to the spell room, I can see that my spell is ready. I wa

I’m terrified when we walk through the front doors of the council. I don’t care what Xander says, this place is like a courthouse. When we’re called into the room where the council will question me, it’s even worse that I was expecting. There are three ‘judges’ in high seats sitting in a semi-circle looking down at me. When we walk in, I see Alpha Emerson sitting with a man and woman who must be his parents and I see Leana sitting beside them with another man I don’t recognize. We go to sit beside them, and I see Alpha Emerson’s mother looking at me intently before turning to hug the others. Leana hugs Xander, then me before moving on to her parents. Xander introduces me to Alpha Cohen, the most recent Alpha of Canyon Ridge pack. As one, the group looks up at the council and something I either didn’t catch or didn’t hear has them all taking their seats. “Maeve Cross, step forward.” A man who, I swear, has pointy ears, says to me from one of the council chairs. Xander squeezes my h

When we walk into the restaurant, it takes everything in me not to turn around and race out of there. The place must be a local hangout for supernaturals. I can feel the aura of multiple predators in one space. Of course, most of those are at the same table, the table that Xander is casually leading me to. Guardian Angel waves us over and Xander sits me beside her just as a man I haven’t met moves over a seat to sit beside me. “Hi, I’m Cayd, we haven’t met yet,” he says, holding out his hand. “I’m Maeve,” I say, reaching out to shake his hand. Instead, he takes my hand and pulls it to him mouth, kissing it. Xander growls at him. “Cayd, get out of my seat before I kick your ass," Xander says to him. “Just so you know, I’m the fun brother,” he says before scooting over. Xander puts his hand on Cayd's face and pushes him back as he sits down. “He’s the bratty brother,” Xander says to me. “Maeve,” Guardian Angel says, getting my attention. “I’d like to introduce you to Emlyn's mothe
