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.” “
Blood Moon Chapter 53: Pride
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
Blood Moon Chapter 54: Love You Would Die For
Adan “Everyone, sound off!” I yelled in the Pack Mind. “Aye!” my warriors yelled at once. But I couldn’t take my eyes off Brenna. “Warriors, check the perimeter and make sure there are no stragglers! Take prisoners! I want to question them!” “Aye!” Warriors scattered over the grounds, checking every square inch while some ran into the castle, changing into their human form first. No one was allowed in the castle in their wolf forms. Not even the Alpha. “Mason, was the castle breached?” “No, Alpha!” he yelled, already headed toward the doors in his wolf form. Shimmers ran over his body as he began to morph and change, pulling himself back together into his human form. He was standing in his human form by the time he got to the top of the stairs. One of the maids handed him a robe as he approached the doors. Although nudity in the Pack was to be expected, entering the castle nude was a breach of etiquette. In the castle, everyone must wear clothes out of respect. I turned to Bre
