The beloved one The suprise
At lunch, Colin announced that a new member of the pack would be introduced shortly, he told the pack about Clara being the new pack doctor, and he slipped in the fact that he was half-human, as she had wanted.When he told everyone that Clara was Jason’s mate, Adina could see the disappointment on the single females’ faces. Jason had been the last of the high ranks in the pack to be unmated.As the lunch was done, Adina, Colin and Sean all headed upstairs.“The apartment is off limits until dinner,” Adina told her mates.“You have to let Sean stay with you,” Colin told her.“No, I’ll be safe in our apartment. He can work in our office,” Adina told them.“Sweetheart, I can sit on the couch. I won’t be in the way, and I won’t see anything,” Sean said.“No. No one comes up here unless invited, and both of you are close by,” she insisted.Adina watched as her two mates looked at each other and sighed.“Okay, but mind link us if there is anything,” Colin said, kissing her.“I will be in t
The beloved one The announcement
Adina’s POVThey had all invited their little family, now including Clara, up to their apartment for breakfast the following day. They wanted to tell them the news, and they wanted to do it without being overheard.It was also an excellent time to ensure Clara was comfortable in their little group. Adina also needed to have a talk with her about who Adina was.As Adina stood making pancakes, she knew she couldn’t put the conversation she needed to have with her mates off any longer.“Last night, Cernack contacted me,” she told them.“We guessed as much,” Sean said while chopping fruits.“What did he want?” Colin asked as he was setting the table.“Cleatus is ready to talk. I asked him to set it up tomorrow,” she said, and both men stopped what they were doing and looked at her.“And you are letting Sean take some warriors and take care of it, right?” Colin asked.“No, why would I do that? I’m his alpha,” she said.“You are pregnant. You are not going anywhere near that vampire,” Sean
The beloved one Cleatus confession
Sean’s POVThe next day, they drove to an abandoned warehouse a couple of hours away. Sean knew the drive would be difficult for Adina, and he kept making her eat saltines. She hated them, but they helped with the motion sickness.Sean hated the fact that Adina would be in the same room as Cleatus. He hated she would be in danger and that he had to allow it. He knew it was her decision, but he didn’t like it. Colin had been in a bad mood all day because of the same thing.As the car pulled up to the warehouse, Sean and five warriors stepped out and checked the area. When they were satisfied that it was clear, Colin and Adina stepped out.“Do you need anything?” Colin asked Adina.“No, I just want to get this over with,” she said.Sean and Colin flanked her, and the warriors made sure they were covered as the three of them entered the building. In the middle of the open warehouse stood Cernack, with the crate they now knew contained Cleatus.The area was well lit, and there were no pla
The beloved one Preparations
Adina’s POVIt had been the first time she intentionally had killed another living being. Adina expected to feel remorse or guilt. But she didn’t, which worried her.They had gotten back in the car and were driving home. Both Sean and Colin were sitting impossibly close to her. She felt their protective instincts. But they didn’t say anything. They let her have a moment to herself and let her know they were there.She could have let either of them kill Cleatus. They wouldn’t have objected or questioned it. Even Cernack would have done it if she had asked him. She knew this. But she had felt that it had been her duty as an alpha. It had also been personal vengeance. Cleatus had had a hand in the killing of her family.But the lack of feeling for what she had done still worried her. What she had said to Cleatus about the Beloved One not being detached was true. She couldn’t afford to be anything else but completely compassionate. Was she losing her compassion?“What are you thinking abo
The beloved one Regrets
Colin’s POVAdina looked nervous as they sat down to take the conference call with the White Rose pack. Colin took her hand and placed a kiss on it.“You got this,” Sean told her, and Colin sent him a smile. They could both feel how nervous she was.The meeting started, and Colin could see the faces of all the council members on the large screen on his office wall.“Good evening; thank you for joining the meeting on such short notice. I have several things I need to talk to you about,” Adina said. Most of the members nodded.“First, I would like to apologise. I have not been honest with you. And though it was for a good reason, I don’t like using these methods,” she then told them and took a deep breath.“I told you I had executed Cleatus as soon as I discovered he was a traitor. In reality, I held him captive to get information from him. I didn’t tell you as I didn’t know if he had friends amongst you that would try to free him,” she continued.“Why have you changed your mind?” a dry
The beloved one We are partners
Adina’s POV“What are you talking about, Sean?” Adina asked.At the same time, Colin stood up, still holding her, and he and Sean walked out of Colin's office and into their apartment.“Sean?” Adina asked again, feeling ignored.Colin sat her on the couch in their living room and got two bags from the clause as Sean headed for the bathroom.“Colin, did he tell you what this is about?” Adina asked and stood up from the couch.“No, but if he says you need to leave, then you are leaving,” Colin said as he headed for the walk-in closet.Sean came back from the bathroom with two toilet bags. He put in the bags Colin had put out. Colin came out with a bunch of Adina’s clothes and stuffed them into a bag. Adina just watched the two men that were working without saying a word.“Stop!” Adina finally said. She put enough determination into the word that both men stopped.Sean was stuffing some of his clothes into a bag, and Colin was walking out of the closet with a bunch of her panties. They b
The beloved one Allies
Colin’s POVAs they got up to their apartment, they got to work. It was late, but they didn’t have much time. Colin started calling the pack's allies, and Sean and Adina called packs they had stayed at during the years they thought could help. Sean also called his brother to let him know what was happening.It was a little after midnight as they finished and went to bed. Colin relaxed as he took in the scents of Adina and Sean. Adina was in her back with Sean and Colin surrounding her, forming a cocoon to keep her safe.Colin still hated the idea of Adina remaining with the pack; he hated the idea that she would be on her own in the shelter. He also knew that there was no way for him to avoid it. As he let his thoughts run wild, he felt that neither of his mates was asleep. They all had too many ideas to settle down.He felt Adina take a deep breath, and then he felt the sensation, like bubbles, flow over his skin as she shared her magic with them. Once again, he could see the network
The beloved one Portals
Adina’s POVAdina walked down into the shelter for the second time. She knew what she needed to do. She also knew her mates would have refused to let her do it. That is why she hadn’t told them about it. She felt a little guilty for that. But not so much that she wouldn’t do it.She stopped by the monitoring station and had a look. It was too early to get a sense for the battle of the numbers. But at least things looked to start off on a smaller scale. Adina was afraid that the enemies were just testing the waters.‘We are under attack, we need our allies on site now,’ Adina mind linked Cernack.‘Are you safe, my lady?’ he asked.‘I am, but my mates and my pack aren’t. I want the council, all of the council, to call in favours where we can. I want all the warriors that we wan get to be ready. If we have allies that are more than an hour's drive away that are willing to help, let me know,’ Adina said.‘Yes, my lady,’ Cernack said.Adina turned to her two friends and smiled.“I’m going
