All Chapters of Shattered Bonds: Chapter 351 - Chapter 360

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

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

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

It is recommended that you read the other books in this series before this one.When our mother called Malin and I into a meeting and our brother, the current Alpha, Richard, immediately said no, I knew our time had finally come.My sister and I have been the charmed children of our parents. We’ve been protected not only by our father, the previous Alpha, and our mother, one of the last two Guardians who was gifted her Guardian wolf spirit by the Moon Goddess herself, but we also have three older brothers. No one, and I mean no one, messes with us.You add to that our Guardian lineage, and both of Malin and I are powerful forces in our own right. Most people don’t see that, though. Most people think that we’re the sweet, innocent, delicate c

Being here is making the reality of everything come crashing down on me. By tonight, I’ll be the acting Luna of a pack and I have absolutely no clue how to be a Luna. Add to that, we’re on the brink of a war, and while I know Minka, my wolf, is a Guardian and a good fighter, we’ve never truly been tested.I feel tears prick my eyes, but I won't let them fall. It’s time for me to show that I’m a strong woman, a Guardian, my mother’s daughter. When my best friend came rushing up, throwing her arms around me, I finally feel myself relax.“Finally. It’s so boring around here with Mr. Stuffy Pants,” she says, eyeing her brother.“Riley, he’s your Alpha!” I say, admonishing her. Personally, I’m really hoping to get a peek at what’s underneath that stoic exterior while I’m here.“And I’m his Beta, so what?” she asks, rolling her eyes at her brother.“Technically, Clint is my Beta,” Emerson says behind me.“Technically, Clint is my Beta,” Riley says, lowering her voice and mimicking her broth
