Brenna I had spent the remainder of the day going over wedding plans, picking out gowns over the Internet on my phone, and deciding on colors. I needed to go over the rest with Magenta, who had agreed to help me with the wedding. But as I worked, I couldn’t get the thought of the attack out of my mind. I was going with them, whether Adan liked it or not. But then again, with Adan it seemed you got more with sugar than with vinegar. So, I put everything away and decided to make him dinner. I had never cooked before, but there was a first time for everything. In the kitchen, I opened the refrigerator door, but there was nothing I could make a meal out of. Then I remembered the small stores on the first floor of the castle. I slipped on my shoes and darted out as my guards followed. I rolled my eyes, smiling as I turned to face them. “Guys, I’m only going downstairs to the store. I’ll be right back. You can wait here. I’m sure I’ll be okay.” “No way,” Cory replied, shaking his hea
Brenna “Could you put this on my tab, please?” I asked the shopkeeper, my hands shaking. Not from fear, though. I was always calm during a crisis but fell apart afterward, and it always took a while for me to calm down. I guess it was from shock or the overload of adrenaline. “Yes, of course,” he replied, looking between Cory and Harper. “Let’s go,” Cory placed his hand on my back and walked me out, leaving Harper to carry the groceries. “Oh, the cookbook!” I yelled as Cory walked me down the hallway toward the elevator. “Got it,” Harper said behind us. We all piled into the elevator a moment later. “Come here.” Cory held me against his chest and rubbed my arms in an effort to calm me down. But I took a step back, and his arms fell to his sides. “I’m fine. Really. I just don’t want Adan to see me this way.” I looked between Cory and Harper. “He’ll kill her.” Cory scoffed. “And rightfully so! You don’t threaten the future Queen and live to tell about it. Not in this Pack.”
Brenna “I want you so badly” I breathed. He pushed into me faster and harder, going deeper as his tongue explored mine, ecstasy filling my body. Soon, I was panting into his mouth as he supported me against the shower wall, rolling his hips into me, watching me come as my walls clenched around him, causing his cock to swell. I gripped his broad shoulders for support as he crushed his lips to mine, pushing into me harder and faster until we both went over the edge together. Then he wrapped his arms around me and held me close. Then he stood me on my feet and took the body wash off the shelf. “Come here.” He squirted it into his hands and ran them over my body, paying particularly close attention to the area between my legs and my breasts as he slowly grazed his thumbs across my nipples. “If you keep that up, we’ll never leave the shower.” He chuckled. “I thought you were fixing me dinner.” My eyes flew open wide. “The steaks!” “Oh, that sounds good.” He chuckled, shaking his hea
Brenna As old as Adan was—two hundred twenty years old—I never expected him to wait for me to have sex. No, it would have been too much to ask of anyone, let alone a sexy Alpha. And although I knew he had many women in his life, I was also glad that he had stuck mainly to one over the past several years. But because of that, we both were now paying the price. As I sat at the table waiting for Adan to return, I wondered if our relationship would survive. It was as if it was doomed from the start. But many relationships started off rocky and lasted for years. But that was yet to be seen. I opened a bottle of wine while I waited and filled two glasses. Mine, I made a double. When he came back, I hated to have to dump more on him, but I would have to tell him about my confrontation with Hailey now. She had been pretty busy today. Growing tired of waiting, I took my wine with me and flipped on the gas fireplace in the living room, and it roared to life. Then I opened the sliding glass
Brenna The microwave beeped, and I took Adan’s plate out and set it on the table for him. “Would you like a glass of wine?” “Yes, please.” Adan sat at the table, and I poured him a glass and set it beside him. I sat kitty-corner from him. “I hope you don’t mind, but I already ate.” He gave me a small smile as he nodded toward my plate, sitting on the coffee table. “From the look of it, you didn’t eat much.” I sighed as I got my plate, heated it up, and sat across from him. “I couldn’t eat with everything going on.” He nodded, sincerity coloring his voice. “I’m sorry to have put you through that.” I smiled, shaking my head. “It wasn’t your fault. I could hardly expect you to be celibate for the last two hundred years.” I shrugged. “That’s several lifetimes.” He gave my hand a gentle squeeze. “Actually, now I feel as if I’ve finally woken up and my life can begin... now that I found you.” I squeezed his hand and released it, hoping we could get past this, now that Hailey had mov
Adan “I guess it’s time to go.” I rose to my feet, hating to have to leave Brenna, even for one night. I was becoming so used to being with her that I was now finding it hard to be away from her. “Stay,” she whispered, looking into my eyes. “Are you sure?” Although I would move in with her tomorrow, I didn’t want to take that step if she wasn’t ready yet. “Absolutely.” She bit her upper lip as she knelt on the soft in front of me. “Stay forever.” I smiled as I ran my fingers lightly over her cheek, looking deeply into her eyes. “I’d love to.” In one fluid motion, I scooped her into my arms, carried her into her bedroom, and set her on the bed. “Why don’t you get ready while I turn off the lights in both suites and make sure everything’s locked up?” Brenna nodded as a sexy smile curled her lips. I walked out and headed into my suite first, turning off all the lights as I went, and making sure everything was secure. Then I closed the adjoining door and did the same in her suite.
Brenna Adan stepped into the shower a moment later, his hair a mess, and he was definitely not fully awake. But he placed his hands on my hips and pulled me to him, then leaned his forehead against mine as I wrapped my arms around his neck. “I thought you didn’t want to get out of bed?” He lifted one shoulder. “Well, since you wouldn’t come back to me, I came to you.” “Oh! So, that’s how it is? Huh?” I laughed, shaking my head as I turned him around and pushed him gently back into the water. He closed his eyes and leaned back, looking like a supermodel as water ran over his hair and face, then dripped down his day-old beard and down to his sculpted chest and abs. “You look so sexy.” I poured some body wash into my hands and began rubbing his muscled chest, over the pits and valleys of his abs and then down to his length. He opened one eye. “Be careful what you’re doing there. You may be opening up a can of worms you may not be able to handle.” “Oh? I think we already opened tha
Brenna “Could you write down the spells for me?” “I already have.” Magenta waved her arm, and a thick book floated across the room and set itself on the table before us. “This is your grimoire. In it, you’ll find all the spells you will need. You can also add to it as you find different spells that you like. That way, it will become yours.” “Thank you.” I ran my fingertips over the leather binding and raised gold letters when I noticed something. “Magenta, this has my name on it.” She chuckled, clearly pleased by my reaction. “Because it’s yours.” “Thank you,” I repeated, glad I had her as a mentor and friend. Just then, the serving tray floated through the air, set itself in the center of the table, and the dishes and utensils got to work. When everything was finished, I took a sip of the steaming hot coffee. “Oh, wow! This is delicious.” I thought for a moment and then asked, “Cinnamon?” She nodded. “I’m glad you picked up on it. I’ll give you the recipe.” “It tastes like Chr
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
