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
Brenna The elevator doors opened on the fifth floor, and I headed toward Magenta’s suite and knocked. “Brenna! Come in!” Magenta opened the door wide when she saw me standing on the other side and stepped back to let me in. I closed it behind me. “To what do I owe this unexpected visit?” “Do you have a minute? There are a few things I need to speak with you about.” I followed her into the dining room. “Yes, of course!” Magenta waved her hand toward the kitchen as we passed and said, “Tea ministerium, facere tea, amabo te.” Immediately, the teapot filled itself with water and settled onto the stove. Teacups and saucers flew around the room, landing lightly on the serving tray. “I’ll never get used to that.” I chuckled, shaking my head as I followed behind. Magenta motioned with her head toward the dining table. “Come. Sit.” She sat at her usual spot and folded her hands on top of the table. “So, what would you like to discuss?” “Well, there are two things. But what we talk abo
Brenna Magenta and I spent the next few hours planning the wedding. Since we didn’t have much time, I wanted something small. “Why don’t you speak with Adan about our plans, and make sure he’s in agreement?” Magenta placed her hand on my back as she led me to the door. “I have a feeling he’s not going to want to wait until after the attack to marry you.” “You know him well.” I laughed. “But we can wait until after. It’ll be fine.” “But promise me you’ll speak with him about it first.” “I will.” I pulled her in for a quick hug. “Would you like me to stay and help you with the dishes?” She burst out laughing. “Are you kidding? You’re the Pack Luna and soon to be the Queen. I think I can take care of the dishes myself.” I laughed. “So, when would you like me to start coming for training?” “Well, you have Warrior Training in the mornings,” Magenta mused. “So, why don’t you come right after? Then we’ll train until lunch every day.” I nodded. “Are you sure it won’t be too much of a
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
