“Mom! You know I don’t like wearing dresses. Richie doesn’t care if I’m wearing a dress.” I say to my mother. This argument is one that we’ve had countless times. My sister, Riley, is the girlie girl. Give me a t-shirt, a pair of jeans and boots any day of the week.

“Emlyn Grace! This is Richard’s Alpha ceremony, and you will dress the part of not only an allied pack member supporting the transition of power, but the Alpha female and Guardian that you are.”

I grab the dress that my mother is holding out for me and stomp down the hallway back to my room. “If I was really an Alpha female and Guardian, I could wear whatever I wanted to wear.” I say under my breath as I get to my room. My brother is just coming out of his room, and he winks at me.

Emerson is a great older brother. He never tries to make me into something I’m not and accepts me for who I am. I wish he was a little bit more relaxed and laid back, but he takes his future role as our next Alpha very seriously. He’ll be great at it.

“It’s one night Emin.” He says, using the nickname he gave me when I was first born, and he couldn’t say my name. The nickname stuck. “I’m quite sure, as an Alpha female and Guardian, you can handle a dress for one night.”

I roll my eyes and go into my room to change. I don’t know why women can’t wear dress pants to big events. It should be a rule that if men can wear pants, women can too. Okay, maybe it’s just my mom that makes me wear dresses. Or maybe it’s because I never wear them unless I’m forced into them.

Thankfully when I turned sixteen a couple months ago, I convinced my mom that, since it was my birthday, I should be able to wear whatever I wanted. We compromised on dress pants and a blousy top. I’m tall, like the rest of my family, at 5’11”, so my mom doesn’t fight me on wearing flats. However, if you’re going to put me in a dress, I’m going to wear heels.

The only ones in the room that will be taller than me tonight are the Alphas. Of course, there are a ton of Alphas now. Besides my father and brother, there is the Alpha of Canyon Ridge, Alpha Rik and his two sons, Cohen and Clint. Clint and I are the same age and I was taller than him until this past summer when he sprouted up to a giant 6’5”. He and Cohen are two of my best friends. My other friend, Cayden, is an Alpha of Shadow Falls pack. He, along with his father Liam and his brothers Richie and Andrew are the other Alphas that will be in attendance.

It's Richie’s Alpha ceremony. I’m happy for him. He’s the first of us to become Alpha. Not that I’ll be an Alpha. Even if I wasn’t a female, I’m the second child. And, while I appreciate the responsibilities that I will have being a Guardian to my mate and their pack, I would never want the responsibility of being an Alpha. I’ve watched my father and I've seen the stress it has caused my brother. No thanks!

Richie will be a good Alpha. Like Emerson, he takes the job very seriously. All our parents worked hard to create the peace that our packs have today. And not just for the werewolf packs, but every supernatural group. They went through a vampire war, a hunter war and then created a supernatural council.

When I finish getting dressed, I grab my phone and text one of the sprites born in our pack.

A few minutes later, I hear a knock on my door.

“Come in, Aspen.”

When the wolves and sprites began mating, no one knew what kind of hybrid they would create. In almost every instance, and there are a LOT of wolf/sprite mates in our three packs, the females became sprites while the males became wolves. There are a couple of exceptions, and Aspen’s youngest sister is one of them. She got her wolf last year. Aspen, however, is a perfect sprite and she’s amazing when it comes to doing hair.

She walks into my room. “Ready Lady Emlyn? Ohhhh, look how pretty you are!” Every sprite I’ve ever met is a girlie girl. Riley is friends with lots of them, but I honestly don’t have much in common with them. I’d rather run through the mud and spar with my friends than play dress-up and do my hair. And no matter how many times I tell one of them it's just Emlyn, they still put 'Lady' in front of it. My brother is 'Sir Emerson.' It's a sprite thing, I guess.

“Thanks Aspen. And I appreciate you helping me with my hair. You know I have no idea what to do with it.”

She expertly pulls my hair into an updo of gentle waves and pinned curls. When I feel her putting something into my hair, I have to ask. “Are you putting flowers in my hair?”

Her hands go still. “It’s okay. It will probably look better than a clip with metal flowers.” I say to her.

“Oh, it definitely will! And, I’ll add a little sprite magic and it’ll bloom all night.”

When she’s done, I have to admit, my hair looks great. Just as we’re finishing up, Riley comes barging into my room.

“Oh Aspen, it’s beautiful! I wish I’d thought to ask you to do my hair as well.” She says pouting and that’s all it takes for Aspen to make a couple minor changes and Riley’s hair looks incredible. It looked good before, but there is something about the touch of a sprite. It’s, well, magical.

When we’re all ready, we head over to Shadow Falls pack. When we arrive, Alpha Liam and Luna Angel are there to greet us. As soon as I’ve said hi, Cayden thankfully pulls me away from my family.

“Cohen and Clint are already here.” He says, pulling me into a room. I should have been prepared, but I was so aggravated at having to wear a dress, that it hadn’t occurred to me. As soon as Cohen and Clint see me, the wolf whistles begin, drawing everyone’s attention to me.

“Damn Cayden, who’s this sweet little thing you found?” Clint says, eyeing me like I’m one of their flavors of the day.

“Yeah, she looks like our friend Emlyn, but our friend wouldn’t be caught dead in a dress.” Cohen says, walking around me and eyeing me appreciatively.

“Knock it off, before I remind you both that I’m stronger than all of you.” I say to them, narrowing my eyes.

“We’re just playing, Em. But seriously, you look hot!”

“Thank you.” I say and give them a grand curtsy.

I know my friends, and though there is a slight possibility that I may be mated to one of them, they are very protective of me and all the girls in our pack. Even though they have no problem surrounding themselves with willing she-wolves, if another male comes sniffing too close to any of us, they are right there. While I love them and appreciate their concern, it makes finding a boyfriend difficult. I can’t even blame the guys. It’s not like they are going up against one or two Alpha males. There are six of them and I’m pretty sure they made a pact to watch out for each other’s sisters, myself included.

  • Shattered Bonds   Epilogue: Quinn

    Nineteen Years Later“Mom, why do we have to go to this Beta ceremony?” Genevieve, my daughter, one of the twins, asks.“It’s not a Beta ceremony, Gen. The vampires don’t have Betas, you know that,” I tell her.“They’re second in command, mother, that makes them Betas,” she argues.“And besides going to see your cousins take their place as the mates of Urien’s second in command, it will be a good opportunity for you to look for your mates.”Malin’s daughters, Kayleigh and Sasha, found their mate, Lorenzo, the son of Ennata and Demetrius. Demetrius had been Drake’s second in command until he decided to retire with Ennata and move to the city to help Xander and Maeve with the witches. Now Lorenzo is taking over as Drake’s second in command.“Mate or mates?” Marcella, the other twin asks.Unlike me and Malin, both of our twin daughters are identical twins. It caused a lot of worry for me and Malin while they were growing up, wondering what would happen if our daughters were mated to one p

  • Shattered Bonds   Chapter 34: Emerson

    Watching my mate on her birthday had been one of the best feelings in the world. I know every man in all three packs had hoped that she would be their mate. But she isn’t. She’s mine. All mine, forever. And tonight, I get to claim her in the last possible way, officially making her my Luna.Last night, we’d watched as Malin had taken her official place as Luna of the Canyon Ridge pack. It was special for Quinn, but I’ll admit to feeling jealousy when Cohen announced to everyone that Malin was carrying his pup. After finding out at Quinn’s birthday party that my sister, Emlyn, Quinn’s sister, Leana, and her sister-in-law Maeve were all pregnant, and now hearing that her twin is pregnant, I suddenly realize that I want a pup too.I’ve never given much thought to how many pups I want. I need an heir, and of course, I’d like to have a little girl that has Quinn’s sweet personality, but otherwise, I hadn’t thought much about it. Until now. Now I know that I want pups with Quinn. I don’t eve

  • Shattered Bonds   Chapter 33: Quinn

    I’m exhausted and pleasantly sore between my thighs, but I don’t care. I’m wearing my mate’s mark, wearing my new necklace, and it’s my birthday. Emerson skipped warrior training this morning to spend extra time with me. We’d finally fallen asleep and I’d slept soundly for a couple of hours laying on top of his body.I feel his fingers softly rubbing over my back.I grumble, knowing he’s trying to gently wake me up.“I don’t want to get up either, birthday girl, but we have a party to get to,” he says.I snuggle against him, not budging. He chuckles. “If you don’t get up, I’m going to take you again.”“Is that supposed to be a deterrent?” I ask him.“You must be sore, Quinn.”“Not that sore,” I say, looking up at him.His eyes darken. “Damn, you are one sexy woman, Quinn. And you look fucking incredible wearing my mark. You know what?” he asks, sitting up and lifting me as he gets off the bed and walks into the bathroom carrying me.“What?” I ask.“I want to take my mate while I look a

  • Shattered Bonds   Chapter 32: Quinn

    Emerson and I have been together every night for the past month. He’s tried every possible position, explored every inch of my body and found places that even I didn’t know I liked being touched. But tonight feels different. I can feel it in the air around us, feel it in him, and feel it in our wolves.“What does my sweet mate want for her birthday?” Emerson asks me.“You. Just you,” I say and he leans down, kissing me slowly and deeply, as I wrap my legs around his body.“Just me, not my mark?” he asks, his warm breath blowing against my ear and moving to my neck, making me shiver.“Having you means I get to wear your mark and I ge to put mine on you as well.”He growls as I lift my chin, exposing my throat to him. I feel his canines graze over my mate mark, the feeling of it so much more intense now that it’s my birthday.“Not yet,” he says, before flipping us over. “I thought my little Guardian might want to be in control on her birthday, to ride me any way she wants before sinking

  • Shattered Bonds   Chapter 31: Emerson

    The day has finally arrived, the day when I can leave my mark on my mate and it will finally, finally stay. I’ve been looking forward to this day for years, literally years, since the first moment that I recognized Quinn as my mate.Even though I know I can’t leave my mark until midnight tonight, I still wake my mate by sliding inside her. I look forward to my evenings with Quinn and waking up with Quinn. I make a point to see my mate throughout the day. Then nights and mornings are when it’s just us and I can be me and she seems to thrive on me being me. I was so terrified for so long that I would hurt her, that I’d scare her off, that it never really occurred to me to trust that the Moon Goddess would give me the exact mate that I needed to fulfill every dream and fantasy that I’ve ever had. But here she is, in my arms, screaming my name. Fuck, I love waking up to her body contracting around mine and my name coming from her mouth.Even though I’m behind her and we’re both laying on o

  • Shattered Bonds   Chapter 30: Quinn

    I love being in Emerson’s room. Well, it’s ours now. Going to bed at night is so much more enjoyable. And everything about Emerson has begun to fall into place. During the day, he still shows me affection, more than he used to, but it’s at night that he strips away his reserved side and gives me everything that he is. And what a man he is.Our first night, he was careful with me, in the sense that we didn’t have sex. But that didn’t mean that I didn’t have one of the most intense nights of my life, at least up until that point. I know my mate wants control, and I’m happy to give it, as long as he gives me what I want. Just to be sure, I ordered some sexy lingerie, wearing it every night, just so Emerson can rip it off me. It seems to be all he needs to let go. And oh wow, I’m not even sure I realized how many ways my mate could take me, but Emerson wasn’t kidding when he said he wanted to know all the ways he could make me come by my birthday. It’s like he’s on a mission and every nigh
