Chapter 61: Rich
CooperI know we're nearing the end of this book, and my plan is to have it complete in the next week or two. However, it is the holidays and finding time to write is becoming more and more difficult. I'm going to do my best to continue with daily updates, but I can't guarantee them.

Shattered Bonds Chapter 62: Emlyn
When I left Shadow Falls, I felt like I left my heart behind. Hearing Finley’s howl at us leaving only made it worse. When I return to Canyon Ridge, I’m almost immediately called to Cohen’s office. I drop my bags in my room and head to his office. When I get there, I can see he’s stressed out. “I need your help, Emlyn.” He says, as I sit down in front of his desk where he’s currently pacing quickly enough that he will soon wear a path in in the flooring. “I thought that was kind of what I was doing here, Cohen.” I watch as he runs his hand through his hair, remembering too late that he pulled it into a man-bun. Pieces of his black hair fall into his face as he continues to pace in front of me. “I had planned to complete the Luna ceremony this week to make you an official pack member. But now, after Mom told me about the concerns for a pending war…” He stops, turning to look at me. “I know who my mate is Emlyn. I’ve known for months. But she’s underage. At first, there was too muc
Shattered Bonds Chapter 63: Rich
After getting over my sister being mated to Cohen, I realized he was right. It’s not any different than it was for me. It’s just, well, she’s my sister. My little sister. “Get over it, I had to.” Emerson says, coming into Cohen’s office where we’re meeting to discuss the potential for war. “So, does this mean you’ll be asking Malin to be your acting Luna?” I ask Cohen hopefully. He looks at me sheepishly. “Yeah, and I’ve already talked to Emlyn. I know she’ll talk to you, but I think she’s planning to stay here another week or so to get Malin settled before she moves back to Shadow Falls.” My heart soars. I didn’t really have time to talk to Emlyn past my disbelief that she bet against me. “Not against you.” She had said. “Just in favor of Malin.” She had kissed me softly and I forgot why I cared. “Go, I’ll bring Leander to you when he wakes up. I’ve been pumping for the last couple of days, so you’ll be able to feed him.” First, I get a kiss, then I find out I get to feed my so
Shattered Bonds Chapter 64: Emlyn
With the new information that Alpha Wyatt might be working with the witches, Richie felt he needed to get back to Shadow Falls and make sure the pack is ready for an attack. I really wanted him to stay longer, but I understood why he had to go. And the sooner I get Malin trained to become acting Luna, the sooner I can go home. Home. I think I’m ready to consider Shadow Falls my home. I feel even more confident about that after I got a call from Lily. “Hey Emlyn.” “Hey Lily. How are you? Are you and Aolis still having problems with the fae?” “We are. Lorelei got away and we’re hearing rumors that she is planning another attack, but Ailduin and Aolis can’t get enough information on when or where. How about you? I heard something about witches?” “Yeah, but it’s the same thing. We can’t get enough information to plan an offensive move, so we’re just increasing all of our patrols.” “Be safe, I worry about all of you.” “We will. Was there another reason for your call?” “Well, yeah. I
Shattered Bonds Chapter 65: Rich
I hated giving up even a day with Emlyn and Leander, but the pack needed me. I had already given them enough reason to question me as their Alpha. I wasn’t going to give them another. I also know that Emlyn will understand and appreciate that I am sacrificing my time with them for the good of the pack. When I arrived home, I was shocked to find that Maeve’s ‘family’ was a younger brother and sister. When I questioned Xander, he said the rest of her family is dead and she is the head of her family, even though she’s barely an adult herself. I could tell she wasn’t happy about having her family here, in my pack. I was worried about her using her time here against us, and she was worried about the pack hurting her sister and brother. I remember her saying that Gwen had threatened her family. She must have meant these two. Her sister, Meadow, couldn’t be more than 15 and her brother, Tate is even younger at 12 or 13. When I called her to my office, I wasn’t surprised to see Xander come
Shattered Bonds Chapter 66: Emlyn
It becomes obvious very quickly that this attack is primarily against the Guardians. I have my own group of wolves that I’m fighting, and I can no longer see Malin and Cohen’s wolves through the group surrounding them. I can feel Aunt Cara nearby, but I can't see her or Uncle Rik either. I hear the wolves around me, battling for their lives. Because I’m still officially part of Safe Haven’s pack, I can feel it when they begin rushing to our assistance. It’s not long after that, that I hear Finley’s howl that he’s on his way. I’m equal parts excited and scared to have him in this battle. He’ll be just as much of a target as I am, but Morrigan can’t help but feel excited to fight beside her mate once again. We feel the teeth sinking into our flank, then the tug, trying to pull us off our feet. Morrigan snaps at a wolf that comes at her, trying to take advantage of our trapped state. As she snaps, another one lunges for our throat. I feel more than see Finley jumping and taking the wolf
Shattered Bonds Chapter 67: Rich
I wake in the hospital room. Alone. I can hear the commotion of an active emergency room outside my door. I look around, trying to remember how I got here. It takes a moment, then it all comes rushing back. Am I dead? That would explain why I’m alone. Where is Emlyn? Where is my family? I sit up, realizing that I’m hooked up to a bunch of wires. I begin ripping them out of my arms and off my face before standing up. I’m wobbly on my feet and the screeching of the machines is hurting my ears. I begin walking to the door, holding on to the bed when a doctor or nurse, I’m not sure, comes rushing in. “Alpha, you need to get back into bed.” He says, coming to hold me up and keep me steady. “Where is everyone? What happened?” “What do you remember, Alpha?” He asks me. I look down at him. “I remember that Canyon Ridge was under attack. I came to protect the pack and my mate, Emlyn. Where is she? I thought she’d be here when I woke up.” I look at him. “I’m not dead, am I?” “No Alpha. Y
Shattered Bonds Chapter 68: Emlyn
When I arrived in Shadow Falls, all hell had broken loose. Rogues were everywhere. Aunt Angel, Uncle Liam and Reagan were fighting a combination of witches and rogues and Xander and Maeve were fighting what must be the coven’s high priestess. She looked snobby and arrogant in her witchy robes. That aside, the woman was blasting magic all over my pack lands. Thankfully, Maeve seemed to be holding her own. I jump in, taking down rogues as fast as I can. I can feel that most of the injuries and deaths of my pack are coming from the center of the battle, and I make my way there. That’s when I see him, Beta Trevor. He’s coated in magic. He and the witch must be in some sort of alliance. When he sees me, he snarls. “Guardian!” I shift, pulling myself up to glare at him. “Beta Trevor. You are out of line coming here and waging war with MY pack.” “It’s not your pack! It was meant to be my daughter’s pack! You stole it from her.” “I stole nothing from her. But she nearly stole everything
Shattered Bonds Chapter 69: Rich
I wanted to follow Emlyn to Canyon Ridge, but I need to take care of my dead and injured. Cayd returned to say that Safe Haven had defeated their attackers. It turns out that it was Alpha Samuel’s pack, the Alpha that attacked me in my office the day I impregnated Emlyn. I had no idea that they were still angry about what had happened. They threatened me, why they would think a threat against me, my mate and my pack would go unanswered. He attacked me in my own office. I’m not sure if it was him or Beta Trevor that started the turn against the Guardians, but either way, there were several packs and a lot of rogues that were part of our attack. Alpha Wyatt’s pack was decimated. Alpha Samuel’s old pack was captured. They were tired of living under the rule of first Alpha Samuel and then his Beta turned Alpha Aiden. Most of them had been happy to hear that they would be attacking Safe Haven. They wanted asylum and hadn’t been allowed to leave their pack. The council, now with an entirely
