Author's Note
Hi Everyone!
Thanks for reading Enchanting the Prince. I hope you enjoyed this second book in the Guardian's Next Generation series.
I saw several of you ask if Leana and Drake would get their own book. They will, but not before Xander and Maeve get their book. Look for Spellbound in early March. This story will back up in time to show you how Maeve lost her parents and how she came to work for Beta Trevor and Gwen. As with ETP, there will be some crossover with times and events from Shattered Bonds as Spellbound will cover the war from the witch's side.
Leana and Drake's as yet untitled book should be out early summer. I also have plans for a novella for Malin and Cohen, Quinn and Emerson and possibly Riley and Clint's stories. Reagan, the youngest of Angel and Liam's children will have her own book late in the year and Hope, mentioned in the last epilogue will also have her own book, The Hybrid's Hope, planned for early next year. For a complete list of my books and scheduled releases, check out my social media page, Cooper's Pack.
Also, for those who read my Elemental Dragon series, Avani's book, The Dark Protector is out. Updates will increase now that this book is completed, but I don't have an official update schedule as of yet.
As always, thank you so much for your support. I really appreciate it!
Cooper

Enchanting the Prince Prologue
**This story is the second in the Guardians Next Generation and sixth in the overall Guardians series. While it can be read as a standalone book, there will be references to events and people in the other books that may not be fully explained in this book. In addition, this book occurs in a parallel timeframe to Shattered Bonds. Crossovers and timeframes from that book will be seen in this book. Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy Lily and Aolis’s story. For updates, follow me on social media. Lily I’ve known Aolis was my mate since I was born. The Elf Prince even helped deliver me, or that’s the story my Aunt Angel tells me. My mother and I were dying. My Aunt Angel was busy trying to save us, but I was stuck in the birthing canal. A ten-year-old Aolis had come in, placed his hand on my crowning head and guided me through my birth. I, of course, don’t remember any of this and neither do my parents, my mother was near death and bleeding out, my father was half-crazed that he was
Enchanting the Prince Chapter 1: Aolis
“So, tomorrow is the big day?” My father asks me as I finish packing my bag. “Yes, Lily finally turns 18.” What I leave unspoken is my fear that she won’t accept me. Things between us have gotten more and more strained as she’s gotten older and gotten closer to her birthday. It used to be that Lily was excited to see me, almost unable to help herself, running and jumping into my arms. Being ten years older than she is, I’ve always been very careful with my relationship with her. She’s been too young for me to start any kind of intimate relationship and I’ve been respectful of those lines. However, I’m afraid that it’s almost backfired on me. I can tell that Lily has put me in the ‘brother’ category. My feelings for her are anything but familial, I’ve just kept them in check for eighteen years. Now I’m hoping that the pull of the mate bond will help her see past the brotherly feelings she has for me and see me as the man who has wanted her for her entire life and most of mine. “What
Enchanting the Prince Chapter 2: Lily
Leana and I are watching all the werewolves milling around, trying to find their hookup after Rich’s Alpha ceremony. All of our families are here, celebrating the first of the next generation to become Alpha. If I had been a male, I would have taken over a couple of weeks ago when I turned 18. Since I’m not, Rich is the first.“So, we haven’t had a chance to talk. What happened with Aolis on your birthday? I was surprised that you didn’t have his mark on your chest the next day.” Leana says.She is my best friend. She’s Rich’s sister and only six months younger than he is, making her about seven month’s younger than me. Not having any sisters of my own, she’s like a sister to me. Her sisters are all much younger, having two brothers, Xander and Cayden, between her and them. So, we’ve always been close and we share all our secrets.“It was weird, Lea. He’s like a brother to me. Imagine if I was mated to Rich or Emerson. Or if you were mated to Cohen. It’s just…weird.”‘It’s not weird,
Enchanting the Prince Chapter 3: Aolis
I had hoped that giving Lily time would be what she needed to finally decide that she wanted me for her mate. However, nearly a year after she’s turned 18, she still hasn’t come to me. I’ve given her space and I’ve heard through the sprite grapevine that she’s been dating, or some semblance of dating. I know she hasn’t done anything with the wolves she’s dating, I would have felt it if she did.My father, after realizing that Lily wasn’t going to immediately accept me as her mate, decided that he would throw parties for me every month. Every eligible member of the fae monarchy has been in attendance. The fae monarchy is similar to that of the humans. So, every Marchioness, every Countess, every Viscountess, and every Baroness has been in attendance. While royal parties are not unusual, these are obviously meant to give me a chance to choose a different mate.My father is ready to pass the torch of the fae monarchy to me. He wants to spend time with his Queen, my step-mother, Anastasia

Aolis has given me what I asked for, time and space. I didn’t really ask for the space, but he’s given it to me anyway. I’ve barely seen him over the past year and when I do, he’s been very standoffish. So, while I see him looking at me, he doesn’t approach me like he used to. Everyone is irritated with me, including my brothers.“You can’t keep doing this to him, Lily. Make a decision. You either want him or you don’t. It’s not that hard.” Cohen says to me one day after Aolis leaves our pack.“It’s not that easy.” I try to explain.“It is that easy, Lily. You’re the one making it hard. I have a lot of respect for Aolis, and I hate that it’s my sister who is treating him like this. If it was anyone else, I’d tell him to reject you and move on.” My brother Clint says to me.“How can you say that?” I ask him, appalled that he would even think that.“If I didn’t know better, I’d say you were toying with him. It’s cruel, Lily, and I would never have expected you to be cruel to your mate."
Enchanting the Prince Chapter 5: Lily
I couldn’t sleep at all last night, worried that I had finally pushed Aolis too far. When the sun finally starts to rise, I’ve made my decision. Aolis is mine. Even if my feelings for him are brotherly, I can’t lose him. In the year I’ve been ‘dating’, spending time with interested werewolves, none of them have come close to my feelings for Aolis. I need him in my life and that’s enough for me to finally make my decision.‘It’s about time.’ Hera grumbles in my mind. ‘I was afraid I was going to have to start killing Alphas to get my point across. I won’t accept anyone but our mate.’‘I know. I’ve taken too long to get with the program, but I’m here now.’‘Good. Let’s go get our mate.’I call Leana. If I’m going to Araphyra, I know my parents won’t want me going alone. My best friend is the only person I want with me.“Lily, it’s so early, is everything okay?” She doesn’t sound like I’ve woken her. We’re both used to being up early for morning training. I don’t waste any time getting t

When I arrive in Shadow Falls, Leana is ready to go. She’s already said goodbye to everyone, so we head out quickly. We run for a couple of hours before we stop, taking a break. We shift and stop to eat, knowing we’re getting close to another pack’s land. We’ll have to stop and announce ourselves before we cross their borders. “Tell me what happened.” Lea says as we start to eat. So, I tell her the story. “Hopefully we won’t run into any problems. A week isn’t that long to get there, especially knowing that we’ll have to stop periodically to cross pack lines and there’s King Urien’s land we’ll have to pass through. Plus, if we have time, I’d like to take a quick stop at the council and let them know I’ll be taking up my seat soon. But only if we have time.” When we’re done eating, we head to the pack’s border, waiting for their patrol to come to us. When they do, we introduce ourselves and seek permission to cross their lands. I watch the patrol lead mind link his Alpha or Beta. “W
Enchanting the Prince Chapter 7: Lily
I called my father last night, letting him know we were staying overnight in Alpha Leonardo’s pack and explained why. He was concerned about the possibility of wolves and vampires working together against the Guardians and said he would look into it as well. Leana and I are up early, knowing we have a long run today. As we’re leaving, we can still hear the grumbling of several warriors. This pack was reminded last night that Guardians are blessed by the Moon Goddess. Even Alpha Leonardo went down. To both of us. But he and his Beta were better sports about it than some of his pack members. Apparently, in this pack, it’s optional for the females to become warriors. Personally, I think that puts the pack at a disadvantage. Why wouldn’t a werewolf be a good fighter, simply because she’s a woman? I get taking time off when you’re pregnant or nursing, but to entirely ignore half of your pack’s population simply because they are women? As a woman and a Guardian, it’s insulting. In truth, i
