A/N: Well, just two more chapters to go! What do you think is going to happen? Will Willow kill Brenna before Adan can save her? Post a comment and let me know! Thanks for reading! The last two chapters are coming soon!
Brenna Watching from the windows at the battlefield below, Adan had just cut off of the heads of the warriors who wouldn’t yield… and Dominic was one of them. During the battle, it took everything I had not to grab my sword, rush out to the courtyard, and join the fight. But Adan had asked me to stay here. Against my better judgment, I decided to abide by my Mate’s wishes. Suddenly, gold and red light flashed in the room behind me, reflecting on the walls and windows. I dove for my sword, knowing it had to be a witch. But just as I reached it, the sword flew across the room of its own accord and into the far wall, out of reach. “So, you’re still in here?” My head snapped up and Laura was standing behind me, blocking the doorway as red and gold sparkles dissipated around her, fading away. She must have been on the battlefield below and had teleported here after Dominic was killed. “A part of me thought you’d be out there in the heat of the battle, fighting.” She chuckled, inclini
Adan When we reached the bottom of the stairs, I pulled Conner through the dark stone hallway, heading toward his father’s cell. Oddly enough, it was quiet. Darius wasn’t yelling and screaming, as usual. He must have grown hoarse. I laughed at the thought. When we approached the heavy wooden door of his cell, Zeke and Joe were standing at attention outside. “Guards, open the door.” “Aye!” they both yelled in unison. But when they opened it, no one was there. A huge smile spread across Conner’s face. The whole attack was a diversion. “Where is your father?” I demanded, shaking Conner with both hands. He shrugged. “How should I know? I’m just glad he got out safely.” “At the expense of half your Pack?” I backhanded him hard across the face. Conner scoffed, his eyes wide. “Hey, at least it saved my father. Without him, there is no Pack.” “Well, you’re right about that because you sure aren’t fit to be an Alpha.” I shoved him toward Nikoa. “Hold him and make sure he doesn’
Adan “I’m sorry, Don Cole, but the resort is currently closed,” said one of Fletcher’s guards, blocking my way. But I didn’t stop as I marched toward the front glass doors of the Eastern Canyon Resort. “Don Cole, Don Fletcher isn’t available at this time.” The same man took a step back as he reached inside his suit coat. “Out of my way!” I yelled at the guard, throwing him off the top of the stairs as I drew my weapons, one in each hand, trained on the other two. One fired, hitting me in the shoulder, but I shot him square in the heart, sending him flying backward through the glass. Then I shot his partner, and he went over the top of the railing on the other side. “Adan, you’re going to attract the attention of the humans,” Nikoa said under his breath, following me in as we stepped over the guard dead lying in a pile of glass. “Ask me if I give a shit!” Inside, I shot two more men coming from the back room. “Don Cole!” Another guard quickly held up his hands. “I’ll tell Don Fl
Brenna Pain coursed through my body as I tackled Laura. This had to end... now. I straddled Laura chest as I wrapped my hands around her throat and squeezed hard, preventing her from uttering another spell as a gurgling sound erupted from her throat. There were more gunshots, but I couldn’t look to see what was happening and who was shot. If I didn’t kill Laura now while I had the chance, we wouldn’t make it out of here alive. Her magic was much too powerful. I could face off against wolves any day of the week or even other witches, but without my magic, I didn’t stand a chance against Laura’s magic, let alone Fletcher’s. Another gunshot rang out and suddenly there was a pinch in my shoulder, but I kept squeezing her throat and pulled until I ripped her head off. Blood gushed from the cavity as her head rolled across the floor, her eyes fixed as shock colored her face. Filled with adrenaline, I stood, and Adan had blown Fletcher’s brains across the floor and the far wall, but bloo
Brenna “Hi-yah!” I yelled, lunging at Dane Hall, my sworn mentor and protector. But he dodged out of the way, narrowly escaping my blade. He chuckled, standing ready, but clearly amused. “Excellent, Princess Brenna! You’re getting better!” “Well, I’m not finished yet!” Anticipating that his attack would come from the right, I lunged toward the left and grazed his arm, cutting through his shirt. Blood beaded up along the superficial wound. “Oh! I’m so sorry—” “Do not ever be sorry,” he replied in a British accent, looking down at the wound. “Very good, Brenna! You anticipated!” He retook his defensive position. This time, he attacked me, and I caught his blade with mine and twirled away, then locked my sword with his, coming to a stop, face to face. “Very good!” Dane stepped away, running his fingers through his hair. “But I think that’s enough practice for today—” Suddenly, wolves leaped over the huge wall. Some leaped onto the top and then jumped down. “Attack!” Dane yelled,
Brenna The huge white wolf must have said something to them in their Pack Mind, because the three wolves nodded once. Then he headed over to the she-wolf. His body shimmered, morphing and changing until he was in his human form. “Marcia?” he cooed, kneeling beside her. The woman looked up at him in her wolf form, lying in a puddle of her own blood, as her eyes met his. Then her body morphed and changed, shimmering until she was in her human form, a beautiful woman with long, snow-white hair covered in blood. She raised her hand and placed it on his cheek as the battle raged around us. She said nothing, but her hand fell from his face as she took her last breath. “No!” the man with white hair screamed, throwing his head back, nearly a howl. Then he lifted her lifeless body carefully into his arms and started to carry her away. Then he froze, obviously remembering me. “You!” he growled, narrowing his eyes at me. “You will pay for this! I will make sure you receive the ultimate humili
Brenna Even though the sirens grew louder, the car didn’t stop. In fact, the driver started accelerating. Suddenly, blue lights were bright through the taillight hole directly behind me. I pushed my fingers through and wiggled them, hoping the police officer would see. Suddenly, the police car whipped around us as the blue lights shone sideways through the hole and disappeared completely, but the sirens were blaring. Finally, the car started to slow as more sirens resonated in the distance. All of a sudden, the car whipped off to the side of the road and stopped. I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing I would be saved. Surely, he wouldn’t do anything in front of the humans. “Slowly get out of the car and keep your hands where I can see them!” a man’s voice ordered... the police officer. “Now!” I heard the crunching of gravel under heavy feet. “What seems to be the problem, officer?” A car door opened and closed. “You! Put your hands on the hood and keep them there!” A male sighed.
Adan “Sir, I urge you to consider attending the Auction tonight,” Mason said for the seventh time today. “Either that, or you could take Hailey as your Mate and be done with it.” Hailey Sims was a member of the Pack, and I’d known her for years. In fact, everyone had expected me to marry her and take her as my Mate after my father’s death. “For the hundredth time, I don’t love her!” I slammed down my bourbon and then rose to my feet. “I refuse to take a woman that’s not my Mate.” Mason let out a deep breath. “Alpha Cole, just choose a Mate! It’s not like—” “I said no!” I growled, heading back to the bar to refill my glass. Then I turned to face the fireplace, watching the orange, red, and yellow flames lap hungrily at the log on the far wall. “She’s out there. My Mate. I know she is.” I took another sip. “Sir… Alpha Cole… you may be a Mafia Don to the humans, but I don’t have to remind you that since your father’s death, you’re now the King of the Moon Shadow Pack. The Alpha. And
