Cousin X Cousin Novels & Stories

He need not be told who the woman was. “Where are Cole and Jason?!” she asked as soon as she drew back from her mate, darting her gaze from one figure to the other. “Sorting out the mess we created. They will join us soon…” Xavier replied. When Amèlie ’s eyes locked with Angel’s, her eyes widened in shock. “We are related… I am Xavier and Isabelle’s cousin,” Angel answered her silent query.

Everyone in the room looked at me, confused, when they heard I was a new member. A girl in the group got up out of her chair and walked over to me, and looked me in the eyes. She looked similar to Crimson with the same yellow eyes but much lighter brown hair, "So you're my famous cousin I've heard so much about?" I was thrown off guard by what she said, "Cousin? What are you talking about?" "I should introduce myself first. I'm the eldest daughter of Count Famious, Kat Famious. I'm guessing you don't know, but your Mother is from the Famious family. My Father is your Mother's older brother, which means we're cousins."

They raise their glasses as I approach. "Welcome to the bloodline, cousin," a tall, broad-shouldered wolf with a buzz cut says. "We’ve been waiting for the lost princess to come home." "Are we actually related?" I ask the bartender for a Merlot. "Third cousins, maybe?" he laughs. "I’m Michael, this is Chris," he points to a smaller version of himself, "and our sister, Amy." "Nice to meet you all," I say, taking my glass. "Second cousins, actually!" Amy leans in, her scent slightly spiked with alcohol. "Your father is our mother’s first cousin. We share great-grandparents."

Halle was floored by the woman’s actions but she spent enough time around June to know that she would not be getting any answers no matter how many times she asks a question. “Xavier has a cousin?” Halle asked in a surprised tone. She could remember clearly that when they wrote about Martha, they said she was the only surviving family member of the CEO, was that all a lie? “He has three,” June deadpanned, “You’ve already met two of them and the third is a famous designer I am sure you must’ve heard about,” Met two of them? “I don’t think I’ve met anyone of Xavier’s cousins,” Halle said although the look June gave her made her think otherwise.

I was immediately pleased to see him. Xavier Wolfhart was my maternal cousin. His mother was my mother's younger sister who is married to an Alpha far away from Stormridge. Aunty Isla had always been an adventurous woman and had travelled the world, unlike my more reserved mother. But it was a good thing for her, as she found her destined mate in one of her frequent travels. Xavier and I were not very close, but we got along as kids. He was two years older than I was, and I always wondered how Aunty Isla had given birth to a child before my mother when my mother was married years before Aunty Isla even discovered her mate.

He held three cups of ice cream. I laughed because it was really an ice breaker for the moment Xander and I just had. How casual, I thought, as I took the cup from the man. Xander said, "This is Miles Kovani. My cousin." I didn't know Xander had a cousin, most especially one who looked like that. We shook hands, and his brown eyes on me weren't a mistake. I saw him checking me out. The ghost of a smile played on his lips. Were there any windows outdoors? It's suddenly a hot afternoon.

“It was Fox, right? The non-cousin.” “Right,” I said. “His mom’s name is Felicity and his dad is Knox...so they shipped their two names together and came up with Fox. He and Beau’s mom are best friends. And then Beau ended up marrying Fox’s sister, Bentley, so...yeah. He was close enough to being right when he called himself my cousin.” “Beau and Cress are actually blood cousins though, right?” “Yep. Beau is my uncle Noel’s son, and Cress is Uncle Colton’s son. Noel and Colton are my dad’s brothers.”

Then, both of them looked at Alex at the same time and suddenly felt a bit strange, as if it was the first time they met. Alex took over the conversation at the right time and said to Xena, "My cousin and I do share the same blood, but the same gene we carry isn’t bragging, but being low profile. Your $60 million family background may be able to bluff many others, but in our opinion, it's not worth mentioning at all."

Xenia whispered, tugging at my arm as she nodded to a blonde woman seated in the sea of my Frost family. “Um… yeah. That’s cousin Emma.” I nodded, gesturing her to a spot. “How many of these people are related to you?” Xenia whispered, still glancing around. “A better question would be how many aren’t. I’m seeing Frost cousins I don’t see outside of weddings and funerals.” I whispered back. “Who invited them all? Why are they even here?” Xenia asked.

There was no avoiding him. "Well, you wait here. We’re heading inside," Ron said as he gently placed his arm around Lena. Lena glanced at him. "How exactly is Xandra your cousin? Which relative of yours does she belong to?" She was beginning to feel like Earth, with its billions of people, had somehow shrunk just for her. "You’d have to ask my uncle. He’s the one who had her," Ron replied in his usual playful manner. "Why do you sound like you’re—"
