Her Two Proud Wolves Chapter 27
Adelia’s Point of ViewNessa’s apartment looked a whole lot more inviting than Siya’s. Had photos of her and her brothers on the walls. Flowers in vases. Even smelled like her.It felt like a home, not just a place where you slept.Although, a lingering smell of smoke clogged my nose when we walked in.Siya, to his credit, disguised his disgust the moment his sister waltzed out of what I presumed was a kitchen.Her hair was pulled back into a tight bun, curls threatening to fall free at any moment. She wore an apron with various smears all over it. Had flour streaks on her nose and cheeks.She was busy cooking. Or had been, considering her defeated sigh when she came closer. “I give up. I can’t fucking do it,” She exclaimed and placed her hands on her hips. “I ordered pizza. It should be here in half an hour.”I restrained a chuckle that threatened to spill over my lips. Glanced at Siya to see how he took the news.He had been right, then, to say that his sister didn’t belong in a kit

Adelia’s Point of View“Can you please stop pacing? We are in the remotest corner of the compound. No one is going to get in here. And if they do, we have two guards posted outside.” Nessa snapped as I ended one of my countless loops around the room.Anxiety speared my insides. Boiled into my blood.For a moment, I paused. Looked right at her with a scowl on my face. “I know we are far away from the shit but that isn’t why I’m worried. What if something happens to him?” I stated my worries out loud. Let them feed into my growing anxiety.Like speaking the words gave them more power. More control.And I hated it. Hated admitting to myself that I had opened up to Siya enough that the thought of him getting hurt broke me.Nessa raised a sculpted brow. Got a large grin on her lips that grated against some of my nerves. “You care about the fucker.” She said, excitement bubbling onto her face.Rolling my eyes, I pinched the bridge of my nose. Without thought I started pacing again. Another

Adelia's Point of ViewThe guard that had spoken to me fell first. With a few neatly placed bullets, he fell to the ground. Blood pooled beneath him in a matter of seconds. Terror ran down my spine in a thick wave. Settled somewhere behind my heart.Gritting my teeth, I slid down the other side of the counter, making myself as small as possible. Loud bangs vibrated through my bones. Heated my blood considerably to the point where beads of sweat formed on my brow.The intruders moved into the living room. Killed the last guard that kept us safe.Us.Fuck.Nessa.I inhaled a sharp breath. Steadied my heartbeat to where I was almost unsure whether I was alive or dead. And jumped into the open, gun raised and perfectly aimed at a human in ridiculous tactical gear. I fired. Fired again before the other four could spot me.He went down with a thud. Which was promptly followed by a few rounds being fired off by Nessa. Another body hit the floor and I slid in behind the large bookrack that

Adelia's Point of ViewThe rug I thought I had beneath my feet got ripped right out from under me. Made my knees buckle as I stared at the man in front of me. Mate.My mate. Another one and a human no-less.If Teagan could see me now, she would holler with laughter. But that's not how I felt. The grip I had perfected on my emotions for the last few years seemed to be tugged away like the rug."What is he talking about, Adelia? Why is he saying that?" Nessa asked, now standing beside the bed, waiting for me to explain.But I didn't know how. Didn't know if I could even summon the words to try."We really don't have time for this. Our distraction is only going to last so long and we need to be gone before that. Have you made up your mind?" Ulrich pleaded in front of me.Yet I couldn't look away from the painfully gorgeous man in front of me. How beautifully his blue eyes glittered compared to his dark-brown hair. The gentle curve of his lips.The goddess took her time sculpting him. A

Adelia's Point of ViewGuilt was the most irrational emotion of all.Even when you knew the circumstances surrounding your choices were justified, guilt still found a way to get to you.The journey back to Lover's Quarrel was at least more pleasant than when I was taken. Gone was the hull of a cargo plane and the stench of blood. Replaced by the smooth leather interior of a private jet. A stewardess in a neat little outfit brought out trays of food prepared somewhere in the back. Bubbly flowed freely.And the two men in combat attire stood out like sore thumbs amongst the finer things in life. So did the unconscious girl slumped on a large couch."Ciaran sent the plane with us when we left Lover's Quarrel. Apparently, he didn't want you to be more traumatized than you already were. I thought it was ridiculous because we couldn't fit all of the men in here once the mission was a success," Ulrich explained and snorted. "Nope. Not for all of the men because fuck the injured, right? Just
Her Two Proud Wolves Chapter 32
Michael's Point of ViewShe was strikingly beautiful. Why Ulrich didn't worship her, heaven only knew.With her voluminous black hair and piercing blue eyes, anyone could see she was a beauty beyond this world. Considering the fact that she had more curves than a back road, a tongue that lashed like iron, and ample fire in her blood, she was the perfect woman. Hell, even Nadia seemed to falter somehow.Which made our interaction only that more disgusting to me. My fiancee still remained fully in my mind. Took up more space than any woman had ever had. And I let her. Because she was wonderful in her own wicked ways.But by the gods, Adelia's mere presence sucked me in, and refused to let go.So when Ulrich had said something about a mate back at the compound, my heart had faltered. And I couldn't grasp why. Mates were the werewolf equivalent of soulmates chosen by some goddess they worshipped. That much I already knew. It was what dropped Ulrich this far into the shit. Yet just the

Siya's Point of ViewThe lashes on my back were nothing compared to the gaping wound in my chest.Another crack of the whip behind me had me bracing just as the leather dug into my flesh.Still, the pain didn't even come close.They had taken Adelia. Nessa. Left more than one casualty for me to find when I went back to my room after the attack. The carnage that was my door told me enough.I hadn't wanted to go further into the room. Knew that what I might find would unsettle me in ways I wasn't prepared for. Another crack. Another whisper of skin splitting. My lips formed a hiss but I kept it firmly inside my chest. Refused to let Phaedra see the full extent of my pain.Nothing she did would ever compare to the loss I felt now. "Are you still counting, little brother?" She asked in that cruel bemused tone she loved using on me. Little brother. What a fucking insult. I was older. The rightful heir of this fucking pack. And she knew calling me little would only infuriate me more. "
Her Two Proud Wolves Chapter 34
Adelia's Point of ViewFlabergasted was an understatement. Maybe I had expected him to react like Siya. Or even show a bit more emotion when I spoke to him. But this? This was something I hadn't been prepared for in the slightest."Men, am I right?" Nessa grumbled from her seat.Her face was still squished against the cushion of the couch. Looked lopsided from this angle. But she was awake and well, at least."You're awake," I said, keeping a tight leash on my emotions.The mask that had fallen over my face when Michael had left was as good as armor. Kept me safe and hidden. Although Nessa had seen me emotional on more than one occasion. Didn't bat an eye about it.So why would she now?Oh, maybe because we had kidnapped her. Did exactly the same thing to her like Siya had done to me. We should have left her. Should have escaped without hurting her in the process. She would have gotten beat up at the hands of her half-sister and we both knew it. Knew that Phaedra would have flayed
