Brenna Adan stormed in, never taking his eyes from mine. “Sit down.” “No.” I folded my arms across my chest. I was going to be treated as his equal, even if it killed me. He clenched his jaw. “Please.” I stared at him for a moment and then sat at the kitchen table in the same place where I had sat before. He tried to close the door, but it hung sideways on its hinges. I rolled my eyes. One thing I hated about this world was having to deal with Neanderthals. “I’ll have someone come later to fix it.” He sat across from me and folded his hands on the table. “Breakfast will be up in a bit.” I nodded once, sitting back in my chair. “What did you want to speak with me about?” He tilted his head sideways, obviously considering. “I was thinking about something last night and wanted to run it by you. See what you think.” “Oh-kay.” I sighed, relenting. “Would you like some coffee? I could make some.” He nodded. “In a minute. First, I want to talk.” I folded my arms across my chest, w
Brenna Just then, there was a knock on the door. A broad grin spread across his lips. “That must be our breakfast. I’ll be right back.” He slid off the bed and headed toward the door. I wrapped the sheet around myself and ran the shower, not wanting anyone to see me like this. Outside the door, I heard Magenta talking to Adan. When the water was warm, I stepped in, letting the warm water wash over me. What he had done to me was the most erotic thing that I’d ever experienced. I was surprised that he didn’t fuck me while I was restrained, but he wouldn’t. He didn’t want to take me by force. I shampooed my hair and was rinsing it out when the door opened, causing my heart to pound. The sliding glass door opened, and Adan stepped in a moment later. Without a word, he lifted me off my feet and crushed his lips to mine as my back hit the cold shower wall, his lips devouring mine. I opened for him and his tongue swept over mine, deepening the kiss as passion overtook us both. His hard
Brenna “Come in!” Magenta stood back and opened the door wide, making room for the kitchen staff. They wheeled in the serving cart, and one of them asked, “Is there anything else I can get for you?” Magenta shook her head. “No, thank you. You may go.” He bowed slightly as the others left. “As you wish.” Then he turned and walked out. A moment later, we heard Adan leave his suite and his footsteps faded as he headed down the hallway. Magenta sighed, taking me in. “Do not keep him waiting too long.” She motioned with her head toward the door. “You don’t have much time before the Blood Moon approaches. You both must become Mates before it’s too late.” I nodded, understanding. “I’m sorry, but he has a way of getting under my skin. He can make me mad or… not in the matter of seconds.” I sighed, shaking my head. “I’ve never met anyone quite like him before.” Magenta nodded. “And it appears that you do the same to him.” She let out a deep breath, shaking her head. “You love him. Do y
Brenna Forming a circle, the sticks moved slowly onto the mat and disappeared in the mist, but shapes started forming. The mist cleared, and the image of two men appeared. One was clearly the White Alpha with snow-white hair, even though he looked young. But the other man had his back to me, out of view. It was as if I were an outsider looking into the scene at an angle. “Why are we taking down the High Claw Pack?” the man asked. I didn’t recognize the man’s voice as I listened. The Alpha’s eyes were hard as he glared at the man I couldn’t see clearly. “Cale doesn’t want to work with the vampires and the other species.” The Alpha looked down at a map lying on the table. “We’ll attack tomorrow at noon. They won’t expect it, and we’ll take them by surprise.” My father’s name was Cale Sutton. This was the night before they attacked our Pack. “Alpha....” The man cleared his throat as if afraid to ask. The White Alpha let out an exasperated breath as he rolled his eyes. “What is it? I
Adan Standing before Brenna, it was all I could do not to take her right then and there. But I’d never forced a woman before, and I didn’t intend to start now. But I wanted a taste, just one taste. Hearing that she was actually concerned for me had touched my heart. My heart pounded as my lips slowly descended upon hers, seeking acceptance. Her breath quickened, and when my lips touched hers, she kissed me back this time. I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her soft body to my chest, deepening the kiss as my tongue danced with hers. A moment later, I pulled back, breathless. “You’re a good kisser.” “So are you,” she breathed against my lips, the Mating pheromones rolling off her, causing my wolf to pant. “Have you ever kissed a man before me?” I arched an eyebrow, reeling my wolf in. She shook her head. “No. I’ve only kissed you.” “Good!” I chuckled, smiling as I backed away. “Thanks for... everything.” I knew I was teasing her, but I couldn’t resist, wanting to get back at he
Adan “Alpha, the White Alpha is approaching the gate!” Wyatt yelled up the stairs, stopping at the bottom when he saw me. Evidently, he had been on his way to get me when I walked out. My head snapped up, and there he was in the flesh. The White Alpha was out of his limo and questioning my guards, who had stopped him at the gate. Good men. “Prepare the men, but do not attack unless it’s on my order.” “Aye!” Wyatt hurried away, barking orders to the other men who scrambled to their posts, weapons in hand. I was curious about this so-called Alpha as I walked purposefully down the stairs and headed toward him. No respectable Alpha, or Don, for that matter, would ever attack without provocation. He, however, seemed dead set on domination, which was also something I couldn’t condone. “We meet at last.” A broad smile spread across his face as he held his hand out, but I ignored it. “What is your name and state your business.” I lifted my chin, my eyes never leaving his. “Well....”
Adan “Everyone, please be seated,” I announced over the microphone. Mason stepped up beside me, his hands folded behind his back. “Where’s Brenna?” I asked before he could speak. He shrugged, shaking his head, his eyes suddenly filled with concern. “She wasn’t in her room?” “No, and her guards weren’t there, either.” I looked around, and the room was nearly filled, but she was nowhere to be seen. “Find her.” “Aye.” Mason headed down the stairs next to the stage. Suddenly, the sea of shifters parted in the center aisle, and she marched in, dressed in her practice fatigues with a sword sheathed at her side. Warriors followed behind her. A smile lit my lips. She was a born warrior and leader. Relief swept over me at the sight of her, but I was angry that she was out practicing with the warriors when Darius had come to the gate. Brenna turned her head and said something to the warriors. They nodded and stood along the wall since all the seats had been taken. Brenna rushed up the
Adan I stormed down the hallway and pushed both doors open at the end. Outside, limos waited by the Main Gate. I headed toward them, and Fernando Amaro stepped out of his car and buttoned his suit coat, flanked by two bodyguards who stepped discretely to the side. He was young to be a Mafia Don, but who am I to judge? “Don Amaro!” I smiled, extending my hand as I walked through the gates. They had no clue about the supernatural world, and I aimed to keep it that way. “To what do I owe this honor?” He shook my hand, smiling as he casually looked over the grounds and then into my eyes. “We’re sorry to come unannounced, but I heard you had some trouble here a little while ago and the other Dons and I were concerned. We thought we’d offer our assistance, if you need it.” I let out a deep breath. Word sure travels quickly. I wondered how they found out. My heart sank as I realized that someone inside my Pack must be leaking information to him. But I'll deal with that later. Right now, I
