Brenna “They’re playing our song.” Adan glanced over at me and smiled as he held out his hand. “Would you like to dance?” “I’d love to,” I replied, placing my hand in his. For an Alpha, he had such a gentle touch when he wanted to but was strong at other times. I had to admit. I’d never met anyone quite like him before. On the dance floor, he placed one hand on my back and raised the other causing my heart to flutter. I took his hand and slid the other over his shoulder. He smiled as he curled my hand next to his chest, looking deeply into my eyes. As we swayed to the music, I knew I was falling more in love with him with each passing day. But how could it possibly work out between us? He was just as stubborn as I was, but if we could find compromise and common ground, then maybe we could make this work, after all. All too soon, the dance came to an end. We stopped and applauded, smiling as we looked into each other’s eyes. “Would you do me the honor of another dance?” He held

Adan Anger filled my body as I watched Brenna and Mira work with the young warriors. But then again, I had agreed to let her work with them, as long as she stayed out of harm’s way in battle. “So, are we going to work today or what?” Mason asked, bringing me from my reverie. “You know, you can’t keep her under lock and key. She’s a person—” “Quiet!” I cut him off. “Everyone, line up! Pair up, and let’s run some drills!” Clasping my hands behind my back, I paced back and forth before the most advanced warriors in the Pack. However, I couldn’t help but sneak peeks at Brenna. Mira had paired off the young warriors, and Brenna was observing. As they started practicing, Brenna stepped in and offered suggestions to the young warriors on stance, attack skills, and blocking. It appeared that Brenna and Mira were working very well together. Brenna didn’t try to take over but respected Mira for what she had done with her students. From the look of it, Brenna was quite a skilled warrior. A

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

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 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
