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
Adan “Alpha, the White Alpha is approaching the gate!” Wyatt yelled up the stairs, stopping at the bottom when he saw me. Evidently, he had been on his way to get me when I walked out. My head snapped up, and there he was in the flesh. The White Alpha was out of his limo and questioning my guards, who had stopped him at the gate. Good men. “Prepare the men, but do not attack unless it’s on my order.” “Aye!” Wyatt hurried away, barking orders to the other men who scrambled to their posts, weapons in hand. I was curious about this so-called Alpha as I walked purposefully down the stairs and headed toward him. No respectable Alpha, or Don, for that matter, would ever attack without provocation. He, however, seemed dead set on domination, which was also something I couldn’t condone. “We meet at last.” A broad smile spread across his face as he held his hand out, but I ignored it. “What is your name and state your business.” I lifted my chin, my eyes never leaving his. “Well....”
Adan “Everyone, please be seated,” I announced over the microphone. Mason stepped up beside me, his hands folded behind his back. “Where’s Brenna?” I asked before he could speak. He shrugged, shaking his head, his eyes suddenly filled with concern. “She wasn’t in her room?” “No, and her guards weren’t there, either.” I looked around, and the room was nearly filled, but she was nowhere to be seen. “Find her.” “Aye.” Mason headed down the stairs next to the stage. Suddenly, the sea of shifters parted in the center aisle, and she marched in, dressed in her practice fatigues with a sword sheathed at her side. Warriors followed behind her. A smile lit my lips. She was a born warrior and leader. Relief swept over me at the sight of her, but I was angry that she was out practicing with the warriors when Darius had come to the gate. Brenna turned her head and said something to the warriors. They nodded and stood along the wall since all the seats had been taken. Brenna rushed up the
Adan I stormed down the hallway and pushed both doors open at the end. Outside, limos waited by the Main Gate. I headed toward them, and Fernando Amaro stepped out of his car and buttoned his suit coat, flanked by two bodyguards who stepped discretely to the side. He was young to be a Mafia Don, but who am I to judge? “Don Amaro!” I smiled, extending my hand as I walked through the gates. They had no clue about the supernatural world, and I aimed to keep it that way. “To what do I owe this honor?” He shook my hand, smiling as he casually looked over the grounds and then into my eyes. “We’re sorry to come unannounced, but I heard you had some trouble here a little while ago and the other Dons and I were concerned. We thought we’d offer our assistance, if you need it.” I let out a deep breath. Word sure travels quickly. I wondered how they found out. My heart sank as I realized that someone inside my Pack must be leaking information to him. But I'll deal with that later. Right now, I
Brenna Determined not to submit to Adan and be ordered around, I concocted a plan for him to see me as an equal… or else. He was going to treat me as an equal if it was the last thing I did Hurrying to shower, I blew my hair dry, letting it fall into curls over my shoulders. Unable to resist, I dressed in a long, red evening gown. It was strapless and fitted to the bodice, then it flared out at the waist, accentuating my thin waist. I then slipped into some red heels, threw on a bit of makeup, and headed out the door. The guards did a double-take when they saw me. “My Queen!” one of the guards bowed slightly, offering me his arm. “May I have the honor of escorting you to dinner in the conference room this evening?” I nodded, pleased by his reaction. “Yes, please. Thank you.” The other guard offered me his arm, too, and smiled. “My Queen.” “Thank you.” I took their arms, and they escorted me to the elevator. “What are your names?” I asked once the doors were closed. “I’m Cory Hi
Brenna He nodded once. “I’ll walk you out.” “That won’t be necessary.” I indicated Lucian. “Don Sky will walk me out. Won’t you?” He nodded, the creases beside his eyes growing a bit deeper. “Yes! Of course.” He shook Adan’s hand. “Thank you for such a lovely evening. And regarding the other matter, let us know if you need us. We’ll be here.” Adan nodded. “Thank you, Don Sky.” “Lucian, please.” Adan smiled. “Yes, of course.” Then Lucian turned to me. “Well, my dear. Shall we?” I nodded. “Thank you. My guards are right outside the door.” A grandfatherly smile lit his lips. “So are mine.” After we walked out, he closed the door behind us. “Do me a favor.” “What’s that?” He narrowed his eyes, even though he was still smiling. “Don’t break his heart.” Of course, I knew exactly who he was talking about. “I don’t intend to.” Was it that obvious? Did everyone think I was playing a game tonight? But then again, I guess I was. But I ended up making a fool of myself for trying to ge
Brenna Brenna awoke to an unfamiliar warmth. As her eyes adjusted to the morning light streaming in through the window, she realized the source of the warmth was Adan. To her surprise, he had fallen asleep the night before and hadn’t left, still laying in the same position as the night before, arms folded around her, his legs twined with hers. I didn’t want this moment to end. I lay awake, relishing every moment of being this close to him… before he woke and said something to ruin it. But I pushed the thought aside, determined to enjoy this for however long it lasted. I watched him as he slept, tracing every curve of his handsome face with my eyes, committing it to memory. All too soon, he leaned over and kissed the top of my head. “Good morning, darling.” “Good morning.” I looked up and smiled, wondering how he would react about sleeping next to me all night. I wondered if he had planned to slide out of bed once I was asleep and accidentally fell asleep next to me or if he had pla
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
