Brenna Just then, Caesar stepped out of the kitchen, and everyone clapped. He announced the dinner menu and a cherry cheesecake for dessert. My mouth watered just listening. “Adan, I haven’t seen you around for a while.” A nice-looking man with long dark-blonde hair and light-blond streaks stepped up to our table. “Been busy. Speaking of which, why don’t you join us? I need to speak with you.” Adan motioned for a server to bring another plate, and the man sat beside Adan. “Brenna, this is Dominic Grant, my Beta. Dominic, this is Luna Brenna Sutton, my Mate.” I nodded, smiling. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.” “The pleasure is mine.” He gave me a friendly smile and then quietly thanked the server who filled his wine. “So, what did you want to speak with me about?” Then his eyes shot toward me. “Or would you rather discuss it later?” “No, I can speak freely in front of Brenna.” Adan smiled as he took my hand. “She’s not only the Pack Luna, she’s also an advisor.” I nodded, returni
Adan “Is everyone ready?” I look around at the two groups, ready to go. I was traveling with Brenna, Dominic, along with two other warriors; and Magenta had Mason and three warriors with them. “Aye!” the warriors yelled in unison. “We’ll see you on the other side.” I winked at Brenna, hoping to relax her. She looked both pumped up on adrenaline and nervous at the same time. “Wait!” Magenta yelled, stopping us. “Whatever you do, do not let go in the Space-Time Continuum. If you do, you could be lost in there forever.” “Aye!” everyone replied in unison. Magenta locked eyes with Brenna. “Ready?” Brenna nodded. “Let’s do it.” Pride welled up in my chest as I watched her. Although she hadn’t been a Luna long, she’d taken to it as if she had magical powers all along. In truth, she probably did, but they were awakened and strengthened when she became a Luna. “Traiceret, Darius Snow!” Brenna and Magenta yelled at the same time. We zoomed through the transparent tunnel of the Space
Brenna “I could create a distraction,” I whispered, looking around. “Then, once the door’s open, you all can knock out the guards.” Dominic shrugged. “Or kill them.” “No, we’re not going to kill them. We’re going to use them.” A sly grin spread across my face. “Just follow my lead.” Adan looked at Dominic and Magenta. Both nodded. “Oh, someone help! I’m allergic to silver!” I yelled loud enough for the guards to hear us outside. I fell, and Adan caught me. “Someone, help!” he yelled. “You need to take this wristband off her right away! She’s allergic to silver!” The guard opened the door and looked at me nearly passed out on the floor, looking half dead. “Go get Laura! Now! She’s the only one who can take it off!” Magenta looked down at me and winked inconspicuously. Dominic nodded slightly, not enough for anyone to notice. “Get someone now!” Adan yelled. “She’s dying!” “Oh!” I yelled, doubling over, and then collapsed again. “Everything’s going fuzzy!” It was all Adan could
Adan We snuck down the hallway, looking both ways to ensure no one was coming. The door at the end of the hallway was within sight, but we had a long way to go before we got there. When we came to a crossed hallway, voices resonated off the walls. “So, you were able to capture Adan?” I froze as I listened, holding my hand up for everyone to stop. “Yes, of course!” Darius laughed. “With the intel we got, it was child’s play! We just had to wait, and he brought him to us.” “Very well.” Fletcher’s voice was subdued. “Make sure to keep him locked up and execute him immediately. I’ll let the other Dons know that his Family will be up for grabs soon.” Anger flooded my chest. If it wasn’t for the fact that Brenna, Magenta, and the others were with me, I’d walked down the hallway right now and kill Fletcher with my bare hands. But it would have to wait for another day. At least now, I knew the truth. Looking into Dominic’s eyes, I inclined my head toward the door, and he nodded slight
Brenna We rushed through the transparent tunnel of the Space-Time Continuum as dark matter and stars zoomed by and came to a stop a moment later in the lobby of the Moon Shadow Pack Castle. “What happened?” one guard asked as several others rushed toward us. “Quickly! Take the limo to the overpass near the edge of the forest to get the Alpha!” I yelled. “Do it now!” I walked purposefully out the doors and into the courtyard as the guards followed, leaving Laura in the care of Magenta. Outside, more guards rushed up. “Bring the limo around now and another car! Take several guards with you!” “Why?” one of the guards asked. I looked straight into his eyes. “You dare question me? I am the Luna and future Queen of this Pack!” “I understand.” He bowed his head slightly, placing his fist on his chest. “I just need to know what’s going on and how many guards we’ll need.” I nodded and then quickly told him everything that had happened. He nodded once, his eyes wide. “Aye! We’ll bring t
Adan “And now, what shall I do with you?” I pulled Mason from the SUV as soon as we arrived at the castle. “I’m innocent!” he yelled, trying to keep up as I pulled him along. We headed into the castle and down the hallway toward his office. “If you weren’t the one who sold us out, then who did?” He frantically shook his head. “I have no idea, but I’m telling you! It wasn’t me!” I stared at him for a moment. Dominic wasn’t far behind, watching. “I don’t have time to deal with you now.” I marched toward the stairs and pulled him down with me until we reached the dungeon. It couldn’t be reached by elevator. When I had the elevator installed in this old castle my father had built years ago, I intentionally had it stop on the first floor, not wanting prisoners to have an alternate means of escape. “No!” Mason gasped as I pulled him along. “Confine me to my quarters, but don’t keep me here!” I jerked him up, staring at him while keeping my pace. “How did I not see what a coward you’v
Adan When everyone was seated, I took a moment to tell them what had happened at the Snow Warrior Pack, and everyone gasped. “You have a right to know.” I sighed. “The Blood Moon is tomorrow, and the preparations can’t wait. Men, lock up your daughters, wives, and Mates. As you all know, every unmated wolf will be in heat during the three days of the Blood Moon. It’s our Mating Ritual and those eligible are free to indulge, but I don’t want there to be any mistakes. During the Blood Moon, wolves are delirious with want and need and will take any unmated wolf they see, so protect your families.” I looked over the Pack. “Those of you with cottages in the village, make sure every house is secure.” “Aye!” A few men stood, their fists clenched at their sides. The village was a small community for those who chose to live in family units on the castle grounds. This way, they had their privacy and could live together as a family, raising their children how they liked. In order to qualify t
Brenna After leaving Adan, I headed to Magenta’s suite, knowing we had to hurry. All around me, everyone was scurrying about, locking down the castle, preparing for an attack. When I got to Magenta’s floor, an announcement was made to finish locking down the castle, and if Colin Perry was found, he was to be brought straight to the Alpha. I had no idea who he was or what he had done, but it must have been something serious. Knock, knock, knock! The door opened, and Magenta was smiling as she stood in the doorway. “Luna! I’ve been expecting you! Come in! Please!” “What do you mean, 'you were expecting me?’” She closed the door behind me after I walked in. “Well, the Blood Moon is tomorrow, so I knew you’d be here soon regarding your marriage.” She arched an eyebrow, giving me a sly smile. “Cutting it a bit close. Don’t you think?” “Well, better late than never.” I lifted one shoulder as I headed toward the dining room table. It was usually where we discussed business or where I tr
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
