Sean’s POVSean was sitting in the kitchen, drinking a beer, and talking to Jason. One perk of moving between packs was the opportunity Sean had to talk to the gammas, to learn about different fighting techniques and styles. That way he could continue to evolve and if they were open to it, he was more than happy to share his experience.Sean had found Jason to be very open and the two of them had fast started walking down the path toward friendship.As the two of them were sitting and waiting for the BBQ to get hot, they talked about different training techniques. Alpha Colin came walking downstairs, looking like someone had force-fed him a bushel of lemons. Sean could guess who had put the alpha in a bad mood and hid a smile.Colin walked to the fridge and grabbed a beer, and leaned against the counter as he took a swag out of the bottle.“Want to talk about it?” Jason asked, shooting Sean a look.“No,” Colin said. Jason was just about to resume their previous conversation when he wa
Adina’s POV“Did anyone tell alpha Dean he was on the shortlist?” Sean asked.“No, you know how we do it. We pick three or four candidate packs and bring them to you, and then Adina decides which one you will go to. Then we reach out to that group and make the arrangements.” Cernack explained.Adina could see Colin turn his head towards her. This was news to him. She turned towards him and nodded at the question he hadn’t asked, but that she knew he had. Yes, she had decided to come here, and she had chosen it before others. That earned her another kiss on top of her head.“Most alphas that come from an alpha line know about me and how we move around,” Adina said. “It’s not surprising that he knows about me. What is surprising is that he is trying to contact me and that he has reached out to Colin to do it.” She continued.“Cernack, I want you to call him and ask about it. We can assume Colin isn’t the only alpha he has contacted. If he asks why you are calling, tell him an alpha reac
Colin’s POVColin looked down at the perfect goddess in front of him. She was completely naked except for a pair of lacy panties. Her light blond hair was spread across the bed, and she looked like an innocent angel. If you didn’t look in her eyes, that is, her eyes were deep pools of desire and it turned him on like nothing he had ever experienced.“You are fucking perfect, baby,” he said in a husky voice.He watched as she gently bent one of her legs, rubbing her thighs together to soothe her ache. Colin could smell her arousal, and it drove him crazy. He bent down over her, placing kisses on one of her thighs, slowly moving upwards. He could hear her breathing become faster and shallower.Once he had almost reached her core, he stopped and started doing the same to her other thigh. She let out a disappointed whimper that made a smile cross his lips. She let her hands run through his hair and tried to pull his mouth up towards her centre. He let her pull his head up, but did not tou
Adina’s POV“I don’t see why I can’t come,” Colin said angrily for the tenth time.“Because if he recognises you, he will know in what pack I’m staying, or at least he will guess,” Adina said, placing a hand on his arm.“Stay in the car. It will be parked just outside the door. If anything happens, you can come running,” she continued with a smile. Colin huffed. “I’m sorry honey,” she added, placing her head on his shoulder.She knew this was difficult for him. They were going into an uncertain situation with not enough information. She understood his need to protect her, but she also knew that he understood the need for him to go unnoticed. If it had been any other alpha, Adina wouldn’t have let them come on the trip at all.But she couldn’t refuse Colin. To be honest, she needed him there to calm her nerves. The ride to the warehouse took about thirty minutes. The place looked deserted, but Adina knew that usually, it would have been full of workers.The White Rose pack owned the co
Once they both were inside, she made sure the partition between the front seat and them was up to give them some privacy. Then she told Colin everything. As she expected, he didn’t handle it calmly.“Next time I see that bastard I will kill him,” Colin fumed. “You are MINE,” he growled.“I know honey, but he didn’t know,” Adina soothed, sliding closer to him and rubbing his arm.“He should have known you weren’t his. What kind of alpha is he?”“Yes, he should have known that we had already met and nothing happened. But you know how hope can mess with your head,” Adina switched tactics and put her hand on the side of his face. Making him turn towards her and make eye contact.“I’m yours. You know that I know that, and that is all that is important”“I want everyone to know,” he huffed.“I know. I would like that as well. But you know why we can’t do that now,” she patiently said. He responded with a puff of air. “The bigger issue at the moment is that we have a leak in the council,” Ad
Adina’s POV“I would like to get a feel for her abilities. I will use our most dependable female warrior. No harm will come to her,” Jason said, the last part directed at Colin.Colin nodded, but Adina could see the hesitation. He didn’t like the idea of her being in danger, even if it was no real danger involved.“I wasn’t worried for her sake,” Sean said with a shrug and started clearing the table and nudging Adina to go.Adina gave Colin a light kiss and headed out to the training grounds. It was chilly outside, but not as bad as she had thought.Adina and Sean started warming up with some laps and some stretching and were soon joined by others as the warriors started their training sessions. After that, Sean decided they should go for a run in their human form. When they got back to the training ground, they headed over to the sparring rings.“Ready to spar?” Jason asked Adina.“Sure thing. What did you have in mind?” she answered, taking a swipe out of her water bottle.“This is
Adina’s POV“To add to the confusion that my style already is, I have one thing that no one else has, and that is what we train during these secret sessions. It’s magic,” she said. Colin looked at her and nodded.“I didn’t want you to be shocked by the things you see me do. Just be prepared for some unusual things, okay?” she added.“Are you worried that I might react in a bad way?” Colin asked.Adina was worried. She didn’t want him to look at her the way some of the other alphas had looked at her. She simply nodded, avoiding looking at him.“Baby, I know that you have powers. I have seen you use them. I will never look at you differently because of them,” he assured her, lifting her chin so she would look at him.“Knowing and seeing are different things, and my healing power is, compared to other things, quite unremarkable. There have been some bad reactions,” she confessed. He huffed, clearly not impressed.“Weak persons. Don’t compare me to them. Show me,” he said, looking her in
Colin’s POVColin sat on the log, holding one of Adina’s hands in his, with his eyes closed. He heard Adina’s breathing change. It became deeper and more relaxed. He felt the tingling that he always felt when he and Adina touched increase. It felt like bubbles travel from Adina’s hand to his.“Open your eyes,” Adina whispered.Colin opened his eyes, and he couldn’t believe what he saw. All around him there were thin wisps of what looked like mist. But they glimmered in different colours and moved around, in between and through everything. In places they entangled with each other and shifted colour, becoming thicker or thinner.Everywhere he looked, he saw them. The trees and the ground had a shimmer to them. He looked at Sean. He drew a sharp breath when he saw Sean’s true form. He looked bigger, prouder, like a warrior, and behind him, like a shadow, there was a big brown wolf. Colin turned to look at Adina, but before he could look at her, she placed a hand over his eyes.“Not yet,”
