Cara Nelson is the daughter of two Guardians. Her mother gave her life saving the pack’s Luna and their young son, Rik, the future alpha. Her father became paralyzed while protecting the pack’s Alpha. Cara is meant to become the Guardian for Rik when he takes over as Alpha, but Rik doesn’t even know who she is. When the Alpha of a neighboring pack expresses his desire to take her as his mate, Cara gets caught in a battle between Alphas. Both of them want her as their Luna, but is it only because she is a Guardian who can strengthen their pack? While balancing her attraction to two alphas, she finds her destiny may not be as clear as she thought. Rather than her wolf having the soul of a reborn guardian like her mother and father, Cara learns that she and her wolf are the only ones in history known to have been born a guardian. When a third contender for Cara’s hand tries to force her to become his Luna, her Alphas must rescue her before it's too late. Cara is destined to be a Luna, but will it be by force, by fate, or will she make her own choice? This is Book One of the Guardian trilogy.
View MoreSo much has happened in the two years since Rik and I took over as Alpha and Luna of the Canyon Ridge Pack. We found my mother’s wolf’s spirit. Or rather, she found us. She and I have become great friends and I’m so glad to have her in my life. The only thing that was better than finding Andra’s Guardian spirit, was the birth of our daughter. We named her Lily after her grandmother, a strong and loving Guardian. Rik has never let me live it down that he was right from the very beginning that we were having a girl. And, although I know he wants a son to carry on and eventually take over the pack, he’s been scared of what that might mean for me. My pregnancy and birth of Lily were not easy. I was pregnant during a time of great strife, war and loss. The pain of it almost caused me to lose my precious daughter and both of us nearly died in childbirth. But Rik was there for both of us, and we survived. Lily is the apple of her father’s eye. He takes her everywhere, carrying her around
It’s been six months since Cara’s birthday. So much has happened since that time. A month after her birthday, we graduated high school and a week later, we had my Alpha ceremony. The Alpha ceremony was huge because it wasn’t just for me. We inducted an entirely new group of ranked wolves. Cara swore her oath as Luna, then Chase as my Beta. We also instated Lacey as our Beta female, because, yeah, my boy got his girl. Jason took his oath as my Gamma and our lead warrior asked to step down with my father, opening the position for Trevor. It's been an adjustment. We’ve all taken on a lot of responsibility, but we work well together and have become a cohesive team. Clint spends more time at the packhouse now. He trains our more experienced warriors while Trevor takes on the task of training our young pups that have just gotten their wolves. I’m currently sitting in my office, the office that used to be my father’s. I received a call from the doctor a couple of days ago about Lacey bein
The party was amazing. Cara had a great time. I felt the need to continually touch her throughout the night. She seemed to want the touch just as much as I did. After the first unmated male tried to give her a birthday hug and Kai snarled viciously, no one attempted to touch her. After eating, drinking and dancing the night away, we say our goodbyes and head up to my room. I’ve set it up with flowers and when we get there, I light some candles to give the room a soft glow. When I’m done, I look at my beautiful mate. She is looking at me with so much love in her eyes. I open my arms and she comes to me, wrapping her arms around waist. She looks up at me. “Are you ready to claim me Alpha?” My mate asks me. “I’ve been ready for months little guardian. Tonight, I will make you mine in every way possible.” I kiss my way down her jaw to her neck, until I get to where my mate mark will soon be on display for everyone to see. As I lick and suck on the spot, she leans into me, moaning softly
I was sad to wake up alone on my birthday. I am expecting to be mates with Rik and I thought it would be a wonderful way to wake up, but he has other plans for today.The dress he got me is beautiful. It has a flutter sleeve, with a floor length crepe satin ruffle that looks like it is wrapped in the front with a tie around the waist. Simple, elegant, beautiful.My dad and I have breakfast together and then he gives me my gift. I unwrap the box and inside is a book, similar to, although much thinner than, the History of the Guardian. This one is titled ‘For the Love of a Guardian’. I look up at my dad. “What is this?”He looks at me, and I see he has tears in his eyes. “Ailduin, Aolis and I put together the story of your mother and I. It starts when we were about your age. I thought you would want to have something that tells you the story of our love.”I feel the tears in my own eyes now. I run my hand up and down the leather binding. “This is the story of you and mom?” He nods and I
Clint returned home one week before Cara’s birthday. It was an uncomfortable moment since she and I walked into the house completely naked after shifting from our run. I was carrying her, and she had her legs wrapped around my waist. We were kissing, planning to move to her bedroom. That’s the only reason I didn’t realize until it was too late that he was home. “Alpha Rik, perhaps you could let go of my daughter long enough for her to say hello to her father.” I’m not sure cold water works as quickly as hearing your mate’s father’s voice while you are on the verge of pleasuring his daughter. Cara immediately let go of me and I tuck her behind me to give her some privacy. “Hi dad. When did you get home?” She asks, looking around me at her father. “A couple of hours ago.” He says as she and I move together until she’s close to the stairs, so she can run up to put on come clothes. “Be right back." She calls over her shoulder. Clint looks at me. “I thought you were going to respect my
I watch as Rik turns and heads back to the packhouse. I feel like part of my heart is leaving with him. I watch until I can’t see him any longer before turning back to my house and Liam. “Liam.” I say again. His smile is a welcome hello and I walk into his arms and give him a hug. “So, you and Rik, huh? What happened to waiting for me?” I smack his chest. “Yes, Rik and I are dating. And not that it’s any of your business, but he’s been a complete gentleman about my limits.” “Your limits? Is that why his smell is all over you and your house?” “Did you come here to interrogate me, Liam?” I ask, my temper flaring. He has been gone and has no right to ask me these questions. “No. I just wasn’t expecting to come here and smell him all over you. I don’t even smell your father, only the two of you, and it kind of set me off. I apologize. Can we start over?” I smile at him. “Of course. Come in. Are you hungry? I’ve already eaten but I can make you something.” “I’m good.” He says. “I’l
After I dropped Cara off at her room, I went to speak to my father. He is as concerned as I am about the potential for a coming war that Ailduin referenced. We will have to meet with our allies and determine if there is anything we have overlooked. While it is possible that this is the first time that two Guardians have actually been fated mates, as werewolves, we are a violent species, constantly fighting for power, land, strength. It makes sense that the Moon Goddess knew that a war was coming and was preparing us for it. The next morning at breakfast, we begin making preparations to head home when Clint surprises us all. “Ailduin has invited me to stay and I’m going to take him up on his offer.” “What do you mean? For how long?” Cara asked. “He would like to chronicle the lives of your mother and I, or more specifically, Andra and Donovan. I have decided to stay and help to put that information into history. Your mother deserved that. She deserved to be recognized for what she di
The information we obtained today was overwhelming. When we talked about getting answers to our questions, I didn’t consider that it would only bring up more questions. And at this point, we’d barely scratched the surface of the questions that I have. I still want to find out if Ailduin knows anything about my mother’s wolf spirit and what he might know about how Artemis is also a Guardian. I hear the knock on my door a moment before I smell his scent. When I open the door, Rik is looking at me, concern in his eyes. “Are you okay?” I open my door to invite him in. When he steps in, I close the door and go right into his arms. They wrap around me, making me feel safe. “I feel terrible for him, King Ailduin. How awful it would be to find your mate and for someone else to purposefully take them away from you. And I can only imagine what it was like for her. To be bound to a man that forced their bond against her will. No matter how much the bond was forged, that would always be in the
