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 Since I was meeting Adan at the memorial, I didn’t want to dress up too much, even though we were dining together afterward. It felt strange to plan a special evening with Adan when there would be so many grieving families. But with the Blood Moon quickly approaching, our plans were just as important. Not wanting to wear an evening gown, I dressed in a black wrap-around dress and heels and headed down the hall and into the elevator. The door opened a moment later, and I stepped outside. Jennifer, an older wolf that didn’t look a day over twenty-five, handed me a candle when I walked out. “Thanks, Jennifer.” “Everyone is waiting at the Standing Stones, including the Alpha.” Jennifer gave me a weak smile. “Jennifer, which families were affected?” She let out a deep breath. “Samantha and her children lost Noel....” Altogether, a total of six families had lost loved ones. “Thank you, Jennifer.” I gave her arm a gentle squeeze. “I’ll see them at the Standing Stones. Are you c
Adan “How do you know Nikoa?” Brenna asked as we entered the elevator. “I told you.” I held the door open for her to enter first. “But I was just about to ask you the same thing.” She bit her upper lip and released it. “Nikoa was friendly with my father before the attack. My father wanted me to choose him, but he wasn’t mine. I was waiting for my Mate.” “Just like me.” I nodded, understanding. “How do you feel about him?” When the elevator stopped, I held the door open for her, and we headed toward my suite. Since Nikoa had decided not to stay, I kept our dinner here. If he were joining us, I would have moved it to the small conference room downstairs. Even though Nikoa and I had been friends for more years than I could count, I was glad that Brenna and I would be dining alone. “I’m not in love with him and never felt the Pull of the Mate with him.” Brenna walked into my suite and turned to face me. “And with me?” I held a chair for her at the table and pushed it under her as s
Brenna “So, what would you like to discuss?” I asked once we had scooped what we wanted onto our plates. I hated that everything with Nikoa may have ruined our evening. But the way Adan was looking at me now, the evening had only just begun. He took a bite of his beef tenderloin, chewed, and swallowed, obviously taking his time to organize his thoughts. When he took a sip of his champagne, it was pure torture. “Well, I was thinking of when you fought by my side.” He tilted his head, giving me a sexy look. “You handled the attack like a queen.” “Thank you.” I took a sip of my wine and waited, knowing there was more. Adan took my hand and looked at each of my fingers before he raised his eyes to mine. “I’ve thought about it, and I’d love to share power with you to run this Pack. However, I am the Alpha, and the final decision will be mine. But I’d love to have you on my team, making decisions with me for the good of the Pack.” He arched an eyebrow. “Can you live with that?” A slow
Brenna I woke the following afternoon and Adan was still there. I leaned over and kissed his chest. “Awake already?” he asked, his eyes still closed as he ran his fingers lightly over my bare back. “Yeah.” I slid on top of him, placing my feet on both sides of him as I pushed down onto him. His hands firmly gripped my hips as he pulled me down onto him and slowly opened his eyes. “I like this kind of wakeup call.” I chuckled but all conversation stopped as I slammed onto him, riding his long hard cock. “That’s it,” he breathed, watching me fuck him. “Take your pleasure, baby.” I grinded onto him and then pushed onto him again as pleasure coursed through my body. Soon, my walls clenched around him causing his cock to swell as we both went over the edge together. “Come here, baby,” he breathed, flipping me over onto the bed. Then he slid my legs over his shoulders as he pounded into me over and again, sending waves of pleasure throughout my body. “Man, you feel good.” He pushed i
Brenna Thunderous applause erupted within the room from everyone as they offered their congratulations. “Speaking of the Blood Moon, I encourage all of you to make preparations for the event now.” Adan let out a deep breath as he addressed the Pack, his smile fading. “I’d hate to see something happen to one of the women in the Pack because adequate preparations weren’t made.” Everyone knew full well that during the Blood Moon, all of the members of the Pack would be in heat, wild and uncontrolled. A grumble of agreement resonated throughout the room. “What about yesterday’s attack?” one of the warriors asked, rising to his feet. “Are we going to launch a counterattack?” “That’s what Brenna, Mason, and I have to discuss.” A loud grumble erupted within the room. Adan held up his hands, and silence fell over the room. “As the new Pack Luna and future Queen, Brenna is now one of my advisors. Together, we will come up with a plan.” Words of agreement spread throughout the room, an
Adan Just one more taste, I thought to myself. Just one more taste of her. My lips descended upon Brenna’s in a quick but passionate kiss. I couldn’t wait for the day when she would officially be mine. She pulled back a moment later and gave me one last sweet kiss, smiling against my lips. “Let’s not push it.” “If we must.” I let out an exasperated sigh and motioned with my head toward the door. “Let’s go.” I took her hand and led her back into my office, shutting off the light and closing the door to Brenna’s office behind us. It would be nice to have her working by my side every day, but I wondered how much work I would actually get done. I chuckled at the thought. In my office, Mason took out a notebook and was already drawing something on it. “It would do well for us to strike right away.” Brenna shook her head. “No, they’ll be expecting that.” I nodded. “It would be nice if there was a way we could get him alone.” Brenna nodded, thinking. “There might be a way. But I’ll ne
