Brenna Adan led me to the elevator and pushed the button. “There’s a restaurant I know that has the best Italian cuisine in the city.” My head snapped up as the doors opened. “We’re going to the city?” He lifted one shoulder. “Sure. That’s where the best restaurants are.” The elevator door opened, and he held it for me, letting me go in first. When the doors closed, Adan said in a low voice, “It’s run by the Sky Family, just to let you know.” I nodded, understanding. In the Mafia, it was good form to frequent each other’s businesses. It showed good faith. After all, you’re less likely to go to war with a friend than an enemy. My father did the same thing. In fact, he had frequented Eastern Canyon Resort many times. Never would I have imagined being sold at an auction there. “You’re quiet all of a sudden.” Adan held the door while I exited the elevator. He offered me his arm and I took it, remembering my training to be a Queen. I held my head high, knowing what was expected of me.
A Adan After we finished our meal, I paid the bill. “Come again!” Lucian Sky said behind us. “It was a pleasure to meet you both.” “The pleasure was ours. I assure you.” I placed my hand on Brenna’s back and we headed out. My men near the door came out of the shadows and silently followed behind. “Leave us,” I said to my men, looking directly into Brenna’s eyes. “Aye!” both men said in unison and went to stand beside the limo. “Do not ever challenge me in public again,” I growled, keeping my voice low. “You’ll learn I can give you extreme pleasure or extreme pain. It’s your choice.” She narrowed her eyes as she took a step closer. “And you will learn that I am your equal. Nothing more. Nothing less. I will not be ordered around by anyone, including you.” She started to walk away, but I grabbed her arm. “Never walk away from me,” I growled, keeping my voice low. She looked up, lifting her chin. “Watch me.” Then she headed toward the limo, leaving me behind. I clenched my j
Adan “When I get you inside, I’m going to spank that little ass of yours.” My cock hardened at the thought. “Like hell you will!” There was nothing more beautiful than an angry woman. “Out of my way!” she ordered her guards. They looked up at me and I nodded, and they opened the door for her, letting her go inside. Then she slammed the door closed behind her. I laughed, knowing two could play that game. I went through my suite, flung open her door, and pulled her across my lap. “Get the fuck off me!” she screamed, kicking and screaming. But I held her firmly on my lap. “I told you I was going to spank that little ass of yours, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.” I reared back my hand and let it fly, landing it squarely on her ass as it resounded throughout her suite. “Ow!” she screamed, kicking her feet and flailing her arms. “Let me go!” I spanked her ass again, then again, until she stopped fighting me, and she lay limp over my lap. Then I realized I had gone too far. S
Brenna Adan stormed in, never taking his eyes from mine. “Sit down.” “No.” I folded my arms across my chest. I was going to be treated as his equal, even if it killed me. He clenched his jaw. “Please.” I stared at him for a moment and then sat at the kitchen table in the same place where I had sat before. He tried to close the door, but it hung sideways on its hinges. I rolled my eyes. One thing I hated about this world was having to deal with Neanderthals. “I’ll have someone come later to fix it.” He sat across from me and folded his hands on the table. “Breakfast will be up in a bit.” I nodded once, sitting back in my chair. “What did you want to speak with me about?” He tilted his head sideways, obviously considering. “I was thinking about something last night and wanted to run it by you. See what you think.” “Oh-kay.” I sighed, relenting. “Would you like some coffee? I could make some.” He nodded. “In a minute. First, I want to talk.” I folded my arms across my chest, w
Brenna Just then, there was a knock on the door. A broad grin spread across his lips. “That must be our breakfast. I’ll be right back.” He slid off the bed and headed toward the door. I wrapped the sheet around myself and ran the shower, not wanting anyone to see me like this. Outside the door, I heard Magenta talking to Adan. When the water was warm, I stepped in, letting the warm water wash over me. What he had done to me was the most erotic thing that I’d ever experienced. I was surprised that he didn’t fuck me while I was restrained, but he wouldn’t. He didn’t want to take me by force. I shampooed my hair and was rinsing it out when the door opened, causing my heart to pound. The sliding glass door opened, and Adan stepped in a moment later. Without a word, he lifted me off my feet and crushed his lips to mine as my back hit the cold shower wall, his lips devouring mine. I opened for him and his tongue swept over mine, deepening the kiss as passion overtook us both. His hard
Brenna “Come in!” Magenta stood back and opened the door wide, making room for the kitchen staff. They wheeled in the serving cart, and one of them asked, “Is there anything else I can get for you?” Magenta shook her head. “No, thank you. You may go.” He bowed slightly as the others left. “As you wish.” Then he turned and walked out. A moment later, we heard Adan leave his suite and his footsteps faded as he headed down the hallway. Magenta sighed, taking me in. “Do not keep him waiting too long.” She motioned with her head toward the door. “You don’t have much time before the Blood Moon approaches. You both must become Mates before it’s too late.” I nodded, understanding. “I’m sorry, but he has a way of getting under my skin. He can make me mad or… not in the matter of seconds.” I sighed, shaking my head. “I’ve never met anyone quite like him before.” Magenta nodded. “And it appears that you do the same to him.” She let out a deep breath, shaking her head. “You love him. Do y
Brenna Forming a circle, the sticks moved slowly onto the mat and disappeared in the mist, but shapes started forming. The mist cleared, and the image of two men appeared. One was clearly the White Alpha with snow-white hair, even though he looked young. But the other man had his back to me, out of view. It was as if I were an outsider looking into the scene at an angle. “Why are we taking down the High Claw Pack?” the man asked. I didn’t recognize the man’s voice as I listened. The Alpha’s eyes were hard as he glared at the man I couldn’t see clearly. “Cale doesn’t want to work with the vampires and the other species.” The Alpha looked down at a map lying on the table. “We’ll attack tomorrow at noon. They won’t expect it, and we’ll take them by surprise.” My father’s name was Cale Sutton. This was the night before they attacked our Pack. “Alpha....” The man cleared his throat as if afraid to ask. The White Alpha let out an exasperated breath as he rolled his eyes. “What is it? I
Adan Standing before Brenna, it was all I could do not to take her right then and there. But I’d never forced a woman before, and I didn’t intend to start now. But I wanted a taste, just one taste. Hearing that she was actually concerned for me had touched my heart. My heart pounded as my lips slowly descended upon hers, seeking acceptance. Her breath quickened, and when my lips touched hers, she kissed me back this time. I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her soft body to my chest, deepening the kiss as my tongue danced with hers. A moment later, I pulled back, breathless. “You’re a good kisser.” “So are you,” she breathed against my lips, the Mating pheromones rolling off her, causing my wolf to pant. “Have you ever kissed a man before me?” I arched an eyebrow, reeling my wolf in. She shook her head. “No. I’ve only kissed you.” “Good!” I chuckled, smiling as I backed away. “Thanks for... everything.” I knew I was teasing her, but I couldn’t resist, wanting to get back at he
Brenna Pain coursed through my body as I tackled Laura. This had to end... now. I straddled Laura chest as I wrapped my hands around her throat and squeezed hard, preventing her from uttering another spell as a gurgling sound erupted from her throat. There were more gunshots, but I couldn’t look to see what was happening and who was shot. If I didn’t kill Laura now while I had the chance, we wouldn’t make it out of here alive. Her magic was much too powerful. I could face off against wolves any day of the week or even other witches, but without my magic, I didn’t stand a chance against Laura’s magic, let alone Fletcher’s. Another gunshot rang out and suddenly there was a pinch in my shoulder, but I kept squeezing her throat and pulled until I ripped her head off. Blood gushed from the cavity as her head rolled across the floor, her eyes fixed as shock colored her face. Filled with adrenaline, I stood, and Adan had blown Fletcher’s brains across the floor and the far wall, but bloo
Adan “I’m sorry, Don Cole, but the resort is currently closed,” said one of Fletcher’s guards, blocking my way. But I didn’t stop as I marched toward the front glass doors of the Eastern Canyon Resort. “Don Cole, Don Fletcher isn’t available at this time.” The same man took a step back as he reached inside his suit coat. “Out of my way!” I yelled at the guard, throwing him off the top of the stairs as I drew my weapons, one in each hand, trained on the other two. One fired, hitting me in the shoulder, but I shot him square in the heart, sending him flying backward through the glass. Then I shot his partner, and he went over the top of the railing on the other side. “Adan, you’re going to attract the attention of the humans,” Nikoa said under his breath, following me in as we stepped over the guard dead lying in a pile of glass. “Ask me if I give a shit!” Inside, I shot two more men coming from the back room. “Don Cole!” Another guard quickly held up his hands. “I’ll tell Don Fl
Adan When we reached the bottom of the stairs, I pulled Conner through the dark stone hallway, heading toward his father’s cell. Oddly enough, it was quiet. Darius wasn’t yelling and screaming, as usual. He must have grown hoarse. I laughed at the thought. When we approached the heavy wooden door of his cell, Zeke and Joe were standing at attention outside. “Guards, open the door.” “Aye!” they both yelled in unison. But when they opened it, no one was there. A huge smile spread across Conner’s face. The whole attack was a diversion. “Where is your father?” I demanded, shaking Conner with both hands. He shrugged. “How should I know? I’m just glad he got out safely.” “At the expense of half your Pack?” I backhanded him hard across the face. Conner scoffed, his eyes wide. “Hey, at least it saved my father. Without him, there is no Pack.” “Well, you’re right about that because you sure aren’t fit to be an Alpha.” I shoved him toward Nikoa. “Hold him and make sure he doesn’
Brenna Watching from the windows at the battlefield below, Adan had just cut off of the heads of the warriors who wouldn’t yield… and Dominic was one of them. During the battle, it took everything I had not to grab my sword, rush out to the courtyard, and join the fight. But Adan had asked me to stay here. Against my better judgment, I decided to abide by my Mate’s wishes. Suddenly, gold and red light flashed in the room behind me, reflecting on the walls and windows. I dove for my sword, knowing it had to be a witch. But just as I reached it, the sword flew across the room of its own accord and into the far wall, out of reach. “So, you’re still in here?” My head snapped up and Laura was standing behind me, blocking the doorway as red and gold sparkles dissipated around her, fading away. She must have been on the battlefield below and had teleported here after Dominic was killed. “A part of me thought you’d be out there in the heat of the battle, fighting.” She chuckled, inclini
Adan “I-I have the advantage!” Conner’s sword shook as he pointed his blade at me. “The Snow Warrior Pack is rightfully mine!” “Not anymore.” I slammed my sword at him, and he surprised me by countering with a jab. But I lunged toward him, slamming my sword against his, and it fell to the ground, gleaming red under the bright light of the Blood Moon. I grabbed him into a headlock from behind as he flailed his arms. “Do not move, or you will die.” He stopped moving. Obviously, he didn’t want to die. I turned toward the field, and Nikoa and his men were fighting alongside my men, and to my surprise, Hailey was among them. She had always been one of my best warriors. I was glad she had put our differences aside and had come to my aid with Nikoa, along with Ember. “Stop fighting now and lay down your weapons, or he dies!” I yelled over the din of clashing swords and growling wolves and Lycans, capturing everyone’s attention. One of the Snow Warriors saw what was happening and raised
Adan Ring, ring, ring! I opened my eyes, and it was still dark outside. Ring, ring, ring! Then everything hit me at once and I was suddenly wide awake. I sat up and quickly slid my phone from the nightstand and answered it. “Talk to me.” “Alpha, there’s been a breach!” Wyatt yelled at the other end of the phone as soon as I answered. “We’re under attack! They’re coming over the wall!” I sat straight up in bed, trying to get my bearings. My eyes shot over to the clock, and it was three o’clock in the morning. “Wyatt, sound the alarm! I’m on my way.” I threw my phone on the nightstand. “What’s going on?” Breanna sat up, her eyes half-mast. “Stay here.” I jumped out of bed and slipped on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. “Don’t leave this suite, no matter what you hear. The castle is under attack.” I gave her a quick kiss, my eyes filled with worry. “Make sure the sliding glass doors are locked as well as the door to your suite. Stay inside, and don’t go onto the terrace. I’ll be bac
Adan The bathtub had been my idea. I had drawn it up for us, a place where we could be alone and relax—away from the worries and troubles of the earlier events. It was a place to connect, to explore, to let go and to just be together. I relaxed in the warm, inviting water as I stroked Brenna’s back, letting her enjoy the afterglow, letting my mind wander. Then Brenna clasped my length, stroking it from base to tip under the water, and then back down again as a thrill shoot down my spine. Then Brenna sank down onto me, guiding my cock inside her warm pussy as she wrapped her arms around me, pushing up and down, riding my length. My lips crushed down onto hers and she opened for me, deepening the kiss as she pushed down onto me over and again. Soon, we found a rhythm and I pulled back to look into her eyes, now half-mast with want and need, matching my own. Watching her come under my touch on the counter a moment ago made me want her more than ever before. Although I had been willing
Brenna After we finished heating everything up, I lit the candles on the table. Then we sat down together, and I poured us glasses of wine. “Cheers.” I smiled as I raised my glass. Adan raised his in reply and took a sip. The warmth of the wine was comforting, and the pleasure of the moment was slowly washing away the tensions of the day. Adan smiled as he sat with me at the table, his eyes twinkling in the candlelight. I could spend the rest of eternity watching him. We ate dinner in companionable silence, savoring each bite. After dinner was over, we cleaned up before settling back at the table with another glass of wine. Then Adan took my hand and kissed it as he looked into my eyes. The tension of the day seemed to dissipate in that moment, leaving only stillness and calm in its wake. “What is it?” I asked, my voice low and quiet, breaking the silence. Adan shook his head. “I don’t know. I just feel... relief, I suppose. Like… no matter what happens after the Blood Moon is
Brenna Adan’s cock brushed across my lower lips, causing my sex to throb with want and need. Then he pushed into me slowly as I dug my fingers into his back as he pushed into me all at once. I gasped against his lips as he began moving in and out, filling me with desire as pleasure went through my body. Then started moving in and out, slowly at first then faster until he was pounding me. Adan crushed his lips to mine as he rolled his hips into me, truly making love to me. We found a rhythm and I closed my eyes, but he wrapped his fingers around my throat, forcing me to look into his eyes. “I want to see you when you come.” I nodded as I stared into his eyes, half-mast with lust and love. I pushed against him, meeting him thrust for thrust, wanting him to take me deep. I pulled him to me as my breath quickened, wanting all he could give. Sensations filled me as he pounded into me, his lips groping mine as passion and desire overtook us both. Adan’s eyes met mine as I wrapped my legs
