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
