Blood Moon Chapter 45: Sneak Attack
Brenna “I can’t believe that Magenta didn’t let me know before now!” Asana huffed the next day, holding a dress up to me. She shook her head at two more dresses Paige held. “Here! Try this one!” She guided me to my changing room, shoving the dress into my hands. “Let me know when you have it on! I want to see you in it?” Then she quickly snapped the door closed. “Don’t I have a say in this?” “Yes, of course you do!” She yelled from the other side of the door. “But I refuse to let the future Queen of the Moon Shadow Pack look frumpy.” “Frumpy?” I scoffed. “Thanks a lot!” “Well... you know what I mean!” I quickly stripped out of my clothes and slipped into the dress she handed me. It was nice, but it just wasn’t me. “Nope! Too frilly!” “Let me see.” Asana opened the door without any warning. My head snapped up from the full-length mirror. “Asana! What are you doing?” “Oh, God no!” She made an awful face, ignoring my reaction. “Take that thing off, and I’ll bring you something el
Blood Moon Chapter 46: A Special Evening
Adan While Brenna was getting ready, I made the last-minute preparations with Chef West for the Luna Presentation Ceremony and our dinner tonight. I wanted everything to be right. Even though I hadn’t felt nervous about anything in a very long time, butterflies beat their wings frantically against the walls of my stomach. “Everything is set,” Caesar replied. “For tonight, too?” I felt like a lovesick schoolboy and probably sounded like one, too. He nodded, suppressing a smile. “I’ll have everything ready for you in the small conference room. I promise.” He gave my arm a manly squeeze. “Just relax, Adan. Everything’s going to be all right.” “Don’t start.” “It’s just that I’ve never seen you this way before.” I glared at him, clenching my jaw. “Don’t you have other work to do?” “Okay, okay.” He held his hands up in surrender, giving me a knowing smile. “Just don’t worry so much. She’s your Mate, after all.” “Not yet.” I walked out before he could say anything else. I hurried up
Blood Moon Chapter 47: Equality and Power
Adan “So, how did your fitting go today?” I spread dip on a cracker and took a bite. She was right. It was delicious. She laughed. “So, you heard us?” I lifted one shoulder, smiling. “I couldn’t help it. The walls are relatively thin.” She took a sip of her champagne. “Well, since Asana had me captive trying on dresses, we had a partial beauty day, too.” I looked down, and her fingernails were painted a soft pink with sparkles. “They look gorgeous.” I took her hand and kissed it. Brenna smiled. “Thank you. We knew there wouldn’t be enough time to do everything tomorrow.” Caesar discretely set our plates on the table, filled with Chicken Tagine with Apricots and Almonds, along with cheesy mashed potatoes. “Let me know when you’re ready for dessert.” I nodded. “Thank you.” He bowed slightly and then retreated back to the Chef’s Station to prepare. “So, what have you been up to today?” Brenna took a bite of the chicken and apricot. “This is so good.” A smile lit my lips. “I wa
Blood Moon Chapter 48: A Day of Glamour
Brenna “Are you ready for the big day, Princess?” Asana asked, arriving early in my condo the following day. “As ready as I’ll ever be.” I stood back and opened the door wide for her and the crew to come in when suddenly a huge yawn escaped my lips. “I’m sorry, but I didn’t get much sleep last night.” A broad smile spread across Asana’s lips. “Ah! Too excited for the big day, huh?” I shrugged. “You could say that.” Actually, I had dreamed of Adan all night. Whenever I closed my eyes, I dreamed of him with another woman or had nightmares of him deciding that he didn’t want me. But I knew I had to stand my ground. If I caved in and gave him everything he wanted, I’d never get anything I wanted. And I refused to spend the rest of my life being subservient to anyone, including him. After last night, he’d probably already given up on me, anyway. But today was the day of my Luna Presentation Ceremony, and I refused to let anything ruin it. “Well? Are you coming?” Asana asked, motio
Blood Moon Chapter 49: Moon Goddess
Brenna Watching the clock, I counted down the seconds until the clock struck seven. Butterflies beat their wings against the inside of my stomach, knowing this was it. I reached for the door, when someone knocked on the other side. I opened it and gasped. For standing on the other side was Adan, dressed in a black tuxedo, a white shirt, and silver cufflinks. His black hair was combed to perfection, and he looked gorgeous. In fact, I didn’t think I’d ever seen a more beautiful man in my life than Adan Cole. “May I have the honor of escorting you downstairs to the Luna Presentation Ceremony?” A smile lit my lips. “I thought you’d never ask.” After the night before, I thought Adan wouldn’t want to see me again, let alone escort me tonight. “Thank you.” He pulled the door closed behind me. “For what?” He offered me his arm. “It is I who should be thanking you.” I slipped my arm in his, and we started down the hallway as my guards followed a few paces behind, giving us space. “After
Blood Moon Chapter 50: A Member of the Pack
Brenna “Adan, are you taking me to my condo or yours?” Even though I still felt drained, my energy was starting to return. He looked into my eyes as a devilish grin curled his lips. “I was going to take you to your suite to lay down for a few minutes, but if you’d rather go to my place—” “No, mine is fine.” I smiled, looking up at him. He chuckled. “I was only joking.” “I know.” “Alpha, let me get that for you,” one of the guards said, rushing ahead to open the door to my suite. “Let us know if you need anything.” Adan arched an eyebrow. “Oh, you can count on it.” After we walked in, Adan carried me straight to the bedroom and laid me on the bed. “Would you like anything?” “Maybe a glass of water,” I tried to sit up, but Adan pushed me back down. “Lay down for a few minutes. Then when you’re feeling better, we’ll go downstairs.” I smiled. “On second thought, stay here with me.” Adan sat on the side of the bed, and held my hand, smiling as I looked into his eyes. “Thank
Blood Moon Chapter 51: Standoff
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
Blood Moon Chapter 52: A Battle of Wills
Brenna “I hope you know what you’re doing.” Magenta raised an eyebrow. “He expects me to be the Pack Luna and Queen in name only without any real power.” I shrugged. “I want more. My mother ruled beside my father and that’s what I intend to do.” “Well, take care that you don’t chase him away.” She rose to her feet. “He won’t wait long.” She walked out, her long skirts billowing out behind her. “A word of warning, Miss.” Mason’s voice was suddenly at my ear. “I wouldn’t keep him waiting too long. The Blood Moon is swiftly approaching.” He walked out into the hallway, too, before I could reply. Since no one was there that I knew, I motioned for a waiter to come forward. “Yes, My Queen?” “Could you box this up for me, please?” I handed him my plate. “I can’t eat another bite.” In reality, my stomach was in knots. I hated this just as much as Adan and it took every bit of my willpower to stick to my guns. A broad smile spread across his face. “I’ll be right back with your food.” “
