Adan

“So, how did your fitting go today?” I spread dip on a cracker and took a bite. She was right. It was delicious.

She laughed. “So, you heard us?”

I lifted one shoulder, smiling. “I couldn’t help it. The walls are relatively thin.”

She took a sip of her champagne. “Well, since Asana had me captive trying on dresses, we had a partial beauty day, too.”

I looked down, and her fingernails were painted a soft pink with sparkles. “They look gorgeous.” I took her hand and kissed it.

Brenna smiled. “Thank you. We knew there wouldn’t be enough time to do everything tomorrow.”

Caesar discretely set our plates on the table, filled with Chicken Tagine with Apricots and Almonds, along with cheesy mashed potatoes. “Let me know when you’re ready for dessert.”

I nodded. “Thank you.”

He bowed slightly and then retreated back to the Chef’s Station to prepare.

“So, what have you been up to today?” Brenna took a bite of the chicken and apricot. “This is so good.”

A smile lit my lips. “I wa

    Brenna “Are you ready for the big day, Princess?” Asana asked, arriving early in my condo the following day. “As ready as I’ll ever be.” I stood back and opened the door wide for her and the crew to come in when suddenly a huge yawn escaped my lips. “I’m sorry, but I didn’t get much sleep last night.” A broad smile spread across Asana’s lips. “Ah! Too excited for the big day, huh?” I shrugged. “You could say that.” Actually, I had dreamed of Adan all night. Whenever I closed my eyes, I dreamed of him with another woman or had nightmares of him deciding that he didn’t want me. But I knew I had to stand my ground. If I caved in and gave him everything he wanted, I’d never get anything I wanted. And I refused to spend the rest of my life being subservient to anyone, including him. After last night, he’d probably already given up on me, anyway. But today was the day of my Luna Presentation Ceremony, and I refused to let anything ruin it. “Well? Are you coming?” Asana asked, motio

    Brenna Watching the clock, I counted down the seconds until the clock struck seven. Butterflies beat their wings against the inside of my stomach, knowing this was it. I reached for the door, when someone knocked on the other side. I opened it and gasped. For standing on the other side was Adan, dressed in a black tuxedo, a white shirt, and silver cufflinks. His black hair was combed to perfection, and he looked gorgeous. In fact, I didn’t think I’d ever seen a more beautiful man in my life than Adan Cole. “May I have the honor of escorting you downstairs to the Luna Presentation Ceremony?” A smile lit my lips. “I thought you’d never ask.” After the night before, I thought Adan wouldn’t want to see me again, let alone escort me tonight. “Thank you.” He pulled the door closed behind me. “For what?” He offered me his arm. “It is I who should be thanking you.” I slipped my arm in his, and we started down the hallway as my guards followed a few paces behind, giving us space. “After

    Brenna “Adan, are you taking me to my condo or yours?” Even though I still felt drained, my energy was starting to return. He looked into my eyes as a devilish grin curled his lips. “I was going to take you to your suite to lay down for a few minutes, but if you’d rather go to my place—” “No, mine is fine.” I smiled, looking up at him. He chuckled. “I was only joking.” “I know.” “Alpha, let me get that for you,” one of the guards said, rushing ahead to open the door to my suite. “Let us know if you need anything.” Adan arched an eyebrow. “Oh, you can count on it.” After we walked in, Adan carried me straight to the bedroom and laid me on the bed. “Would you like anything?” “Maybe a glass of water,” I tried to sit up, but Adan pushed me back down. “Lay down for a few minutes. Then when you’re feeling better, we’ll go downstairs.” I smiled. “On second thought, stay here with me.” Adan sat on the side of the bed, and held my hand, smiling as I looked into his eyes. “Thank

    Brenna “They’re playing our song.” Adan glanced over at me and smiled as he held out his hand. “Would you like to dance?” “I’d love to,” I replied, placing my hand in his. For an Alpha, he had such a gentle touch when he wanted to but was strong at other times. I had to admit. I’d never met anyone quite like him before. On the dance floor, he placed one hand on my back and raised the other causing my heart to flutter. I took his hand and slid the other over his shoulder. He smiled as he curled my hand next to his chest, looking deeply into my eyes. As we swayed to the music, I knew I was falling more in love with him with each passing day. But how could it possibly work out between us? He was just as stubborn as I was, but if we could find compromise and common ground, then maybe we could make this work, after all. All too soon, the dance came to an end. We stopped and applauded, smiling as we looked into each other’s eyes. “Would you do me the honor of another dance?” He held

    Brenna “I hope you know what you’re doing.” Magenta raised an eyebrow. “He expects me to be the Pack Luna and Queen in name only without any real power.” I shrugged. “I want more. My mother ruled beside my father and that’s what I intend to do.” “Well, take care that you don’t chase him away.” She rose to her feet. “He won’t wait long.” She walked out, her long skirts billowing out behind her. “A word of warning, Miss.” Mason’s voice was suddenly at my ear. “I wouldn’t keep him waiting too long. The Blood Moon is swiftly approaching.” He walked out into the hallway, too, before I could reply. Since no one was there that I knew, I motioned for a waiter to come forward. “Yes, My Queen?” “Could you box this up for me, please?” I handed him my plate. “I can’t eat another bite.” In reality, my stomach was in knots. I hated this just as much as Adan and it took every bit of my willpower to stick to my guns. A broad smile spread across his face. “I’ll be right back with your food.” “

    Adan Anger filled my body as I watched Brenna and Mira work with the young warriors. But then again, I had agreed to let her work with them, as long as she stayed out of harm’s way in battle. “So, are we going to work today or what?” Mason asked, bringing me from my reverie. “You know, you can’t keep her under lock and key. She’s a person—” “Quiet!” I cut him off. “Everyone, line up! Pair up, and let’s run some drills!” Clasping my hands behind my back, I paced back and forth before the most advanced warriors in the Pack. However, I couldn’t help but sneak peeks at Brenna. Mira had paired off the young warriors, and Brenna was observing. As they started practicing, Brenna stepped in and offered suggestions to the young warriors on stance, attack skills, and blocking. It appeared that Brenna and Mira were working very well together. Brenna didn’t try to take over but respected Mira for what she had done with her students. From the look of it, Brenna was quite a skilled warrior. A

    Adan “Everyone, sound off!” I yelled in the Pack Mind. “Aye!” my warriors yelled at once. But I couldn’t take my eyes off Brenna. “Warriors, check the perimeter and make sure there are no stragglers! Take prisoners! I want to question them!” “Aye!” Warriors scattered over the grounds, checking every square inch while some ran into the castle, changing into their human form first. No one was allowed in the castle in their wolf forms. Not even the Alpha. “Mason, was the castle breached?” “No, Alpha!” he yelled, already headed toward the doors in his wolf form. Shimmers ran over his body as he began to morph and change, pulling himself back together into his human form. He was standing in his human form by the time he got to the top of the stairs. One of the maids handed him a robe as he approached the doors. Although nudity in the Pack was to be expected, entering the castle nude was a breach of etiquette. In the castle, everyone must wear clothes out of respect. I turned to Bre

    Brenna “So, would you like me to help with the cleanup?” I knew there would be bodies to dispose of and a funeral to plan for the fallen warriors. “No.” Adan smiled as he raised my hand to his lips and kissed it, never taking his eyes from mine. “My men and I will take care of that. You just get ready for tonight.” I bit my lower lip. “And what of the fallen warriors?” “We’ll have a ceremony at sunset at the Standing Stones, commending their spirits to the care of the Moon Goddess.” He tilted his head to the side. “I know it may seem callous for us to have a special evening tonight, but it can’t wait.” He let out a deep breath, thinking. “I’ll tell you what. Let’s dine in my suite tonight. I’ll have Caesar bring up a special meal for us.” I nodded. “That sounds good. I don’t want to neglect the warriors. They deserve better than that.” “Neglecting them is the farthest thing from my mind.” A crease formed between his eyes. “What I do is always with the Pack in mind.” My smile fad

    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
