It’s so hard to let Emlyn go as I walk into the fray of the neighboring packs. I know exactly what to expect and sure enough, she-wolves immediately surround us. At least at my ceremony, I had a reason to speak to other Alphas and make arrangements for meetings. Now, I’m just the unmated visiting Alpha that apparently needs a bed-warmer while I’m here, at least according to the brazen she-wolf that just whispered that in my ear. I stop listening to her, watching my mate as she walks out, laughing with Cohen and Clint as she effortlessly guides them through the throng of people over to Emerson and introduces them to the Alphas talking with him. I see her side-eye glance in my direction, and it takes a minute for me to realize the scowl on her face is because the she-wolf beside me has possessively put her hand on my arm. I was so distracted by my mate, I hadn’t even noticed. ‘Get her off our arm before I do.’ Finley snarls in my head. Not happy with the look Emlyn just shot our way.
Shattered Bonds Chapter 13: Emlyn
While I’m thrilled to have Richie here for the weekend, given the occasion, it’s hard to find time together. Everyone wants to speak to him, she-wolves want to dance with him or flirt with him and I, of course, am playing the perfect hostess. It makes it easier with him having told me earlier that he loves me. It’s the first time he’s ever said it out loud. He shows me in little ways, all the time, but he’s never said the words. Until today. There are plenty of unmated males here as well, but I have a full contingent of ‘brothers’, blood or otherwise, watching over me, scaring them off. With Lily and Leana gone, Riley and I are the most eligible of the Guardians in attendance. The twins and Reagan are still young, and Alpha Liam is keeping them close to him, just in case. I’ve opted for another dress tonight. It’s a red, off the shoulder, body hugging dress that comes to my knees, ending with a flutter hem. I finished the look with a pair of gold stilettos that go well with my skin c
Shattered Bonds Chapter 14: Richie
The Alpha discussion of the evening centered around the rogue attacks that have been increasing. Everyone has had at least one attack. I take that back, our three packs have had one attack, the other packs have been attacked multiple times in the past year. Everyone said the same thing I noticed when we were attacked nearly a year ago. The rogues are more structured in their attacks and more skilled in their fighting than they should be. I was never able to get anything from the two in my cells. Rik and Eli were only able to get one each to interrogate and they didn’t get anything either. It was almost as if they didn’t know anything. No one had any answers, and it was decided that it would be brought to the council for discussion and next steps. After nearly getting caught in the bathroom, I was finally able to get my mate to sneak away back to the second packhouse. That night I pleasured my mate until we both were satisfied, then I fell asleep curled up around her. I heard Cayden

Richie and Finley ran with us for hours. I had a lot of pent-up anger. Walking in and seeing seven Betas ganging up against Hope? And for what? Because she’s different. It’s not even her fault, not that it should matter. You’d think they would be more sympathetic knowing that it was because hunters experimented on her in utero. When we get back to the second packhouse, I hear right away that several of the Betas have packed up and left. I make sure to ask which ones. Those Alphas actually care about our alliance. Richie spends a couple of hours with me, letting me calm down before I have to get ready for Emerson’s oath ceremony. I’m really happy for my brother, and I don’t want to embarrass him tonight. So, I let my anger burn off and begin getting ready for the evening. Riley snagged Aspen to help her, so I have one of her sisters, Abeline to help with my hair. For tonight, I am wearing a floor length, navy blue A-line chiffon dress with a halter neck and a goldish brown embroider
Shattered Bonds Chapter 16: Richie
After spending another night making love to my mate, I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to talk to Eli and Emerson about having Emlyn take over as acting Luna of my pack. I pack my bags and take a moment to look around Emlyn’s room. While I was excited to spend time in her room, I’ve been a bit preoccupied with her, not looking at her room. Her room is cozy, decorated in warm colors. She’s doesn’t have it splashed with pink like some she-wolves I’ve seen, my younger sisters included. In this room, one wall has been painted to look like the forest covered in snow. I’m guessing the sprites helped with the painting, as I’ve never seen my mate show any interest in it. Her furniture is light brown with cream-colored sheets. Throughout her room are shocks of color, a royal-blue vase holding a beautiful assortment of flowers in various colors, accent pillows in blue, red and green colors, picture frames in various bold colors with pictures of her with her family throughout the years. I lo

I wasn’t expecting the transition to Luna of Shadow Falls to be so easy, but it was. The pack accepted me right away, probably because they already know me and knew that Richie needed someone strong now that Leana was gone. Having helped my mother around our pack all my life, it was pretty simple to step into the role here. Richie and I are still having to be careful around his brothers, but otherwise, it’s great being so close to him all the time. This morning, I’m in the kitchen making sure everything is ready for the next week’s meals. This pack isn’t much larger than Safe Haven, so it’s not much of a stretch to figure out the increased food needed to feed the over 600 pack members. Richie has basically given me carte blanche to do what is needed for the pack as long as I keep track of all the purchases. Today, I want to start planning Xander’s going away party. He’s going off to the state university to begin his business education so he can take over Uncle Liam’s company. As I b

Emlyn has my pack running like a well-oiled machine. If I didn’t already know she was meant to be my Luna, I would seriously have to consider taking her as a chosen mate. She’s perfect in every way. She set up a beautiful Beta ceremony for Jackson, with a huge party afterward. Her family, and my family, along with Cohen and Clint were in attendance. “Damn Em. Did you want to come be my acting Luna when Rich finds his mate? You’re doing a damn good job here.” Cohen says to her. “Fuck off, Cohen. She’s mine. Go find your own Luna.” I say, walking up. “We could share her.” I can’t help the snarl that comes with that statement. I know that no one knows what she is to me, but I won’t be sharing my mate with anyone for any reason. He puts his hands up, palms facing forward. “Okay, okay. I’m just saying. Our sisters are gone, and Riley is still too young. I could use someone like Emlyn to help out when I take over in a couple of months. “What about Hope?” Emlyn asks. “What about her?”
Shattered Bonds Chapter 19: Emlyn
My family and all of my best friends are here this weekend. I get to watch one of my best friends take his oath as Alpha of Canyon Ridge pack. As I watch Cohen stand and take his oath, I look beside me at Richie and further down to see Emerson. Our families have raised amazing Alphas. I’m so proud, my heart feels like it’s about to burst. “Baby girl, what’s on your mind?” Richie asks me through the mind link. He is very intune to changes in my emotions and they are all over the place right now. I feel a tear fall down my cheek. “I’m so proud of this next generation of Alphas. All three of you are so amazing.” Richie wraps his arms around my shoulders and pulls me to his chest, kissing the top of my head. “Thank you, baby girl. I think you’re pretty incredible too.” I stand and watch as every member of Canyon Ridge swears their allegiance to my friend. When it’s done, there is a lot of clapping, cheering and howling. As we walk into the party, I smell my father before his arm goes
