Nana was probably looking out for them, right?
“I see disobeying my commands run in the family.” Bree shakes her head, knowing he was only slightly annoyed at Bran. “Remind your brother who is in charge of this pack when you have time.”“I will Your Majesty,” Grayson smirks when she bows low to acknowledge his command.‘I’ll punish you for making fun of me later.’ He uses their link to show his displeasure.‘Ohhh… I can’t wait,’ she answers back.“Give Brandon some slack. Marina acknowledges they are fated mates, the same night he learns of her betrayal.” She voices out for everyone to hear.“I still can’t believe you and your brother have found your mates in our pack.” Amelia had been smiling wistfully on the couch. “I couldn’t ask for anything better for all of you.” She reaches out for Victor’s hand. “Having a mate is the best thing in the world.”“When are we having that barbeque with the coven? Maybe my mate is a sexy, hot witch.”“Don’t kid about that. We can’t have any celebration right now. Not while Seth is on the loose.
Brandon blocks Grayson by pushing on his chest. ‘Sorry, I tried to tell you I saw him at the restaurant. He followed us and put the boulder on the road, but he didn’t follow us home.’ Marina sent Brandon the message before Grayson could come between them. Their link drowned out all the other sounds, and she knew her message got through when he nodded.“So do I because she told me.” Brandon pulled Marina behind him to act as her shield. Grayson had a murderous look, and it looked like he wanted to get his hands on Marina.Bree looked from Bran to Marina and back again. ‘They communicate like we do.’ She sends telepathically to Grayson. ‘You are right.’“In my office, now!” Grayson barked, not knowing they had an audience behind them. Gran, Gramps, and Aiden had also come out of their rooms to see what the commotion was about.He wanted to keep the conversation secret to prevent panic from spreading through the pack, so he ordered everyone to the office.Grayson turned around. “Good, y
“Seth has returned,” Grayson said as soon as Aiden closed the door.Gran and Gramps nodded as they sat on the cushioned couch facing the alpha’s desk crafted by Grayson’s great-grandfather. He discovered he was good at woodworking when they left their old pack. Together with the house and the old barn, he had built everything with his own hands.“What do we do now?” Aiden asked, as Grayson got a chair and placed it in the middle of the room. Brandon had moved the coffee table to the side based on Brianna’s orders.“The enforcers are searching the area to see if they find him.”“Was he acting alone?” Aiden prodded while placing chairs to encircle the middle.Grayson looks at Marina and motions for her to take her seat.Marina’s hands began shaking when she tried to release Brandon’s hand.‘Let her go, Grayson just wants to ask her a few questions. I promise he won’t do anything to her.’ Bree ordered Bran through their twin link.Bran nodded. He pulled Marina to the chair and sat with
In the kitchen.-=-‘Let’s go upstairs. I need to talk to them.’‘Wait! You have to explain how you knew.’‘I felt they had a connection when Brandon began following Marina.’‘When he woke up?’‘No, on the first day you came to town. I didn’t know it was him. Marina has always played damsel in distress, so I thought she was pretending to be scared so I’d drop her off at home so she could seduce me. I felt someone was following her, but thought nothing of it.’‘Brandon was here when I arrived?’‘I wasn’t sure, but I had the same feeling and got the same scent when you arrived. I don’t think he knew how to tell you about your abilities, so he held back.’‘But how did you know they were like us, fated mates? Following someone around might just be because they want to investigate.’‘That is what I thought at first, but Brandon followed her even when there was danger. He didn’t care about his safety.’‘But I felt his presence all the time.’‘We found traces of Seth’s scent around the prope
“I made a mistake… I made a mistake…” Marina wrung her hands together as she wandered into the dark, endless forest. “He’ll never trust me again. I shouldn’t have asked for help.”I followed her blindly—Where is she going?—and was taken to a forest more vibrant than the last. There were new leaves on every plant and flowers opening their petals to the morning sun. It was spring in this part of her dream, and I could see the scene slowly unfolding in front of me. What secret is she going to reveal next?-=-Marina stomped on the dandelions covering the ground. “That stupid bitch keeps hogging Grayson’s attention. I want to kill her.”Brandon was taken aback by her words. Was she speaking about Brianna? He had never seen Marina speaking ill of anyone before, and it was out of her character to think ill of anyone. Sure, she was moody and sometimes rude to the guys, but they teased her a lot, so she just reciprocated their actions.“Seth, where the fuck are you? Aggghhh!!!” she screamed
BrandonShadows lurked in the darkness while thick white fog touched the ground. I’ve entered people’s dreams before, but never this dark. I can feel a thickness in the atmosphere, as if the air weighed me down. I hear creatures skittering about, making the hair on my arms and neck stand on end. I’ve never been in such a frightening place either.Monsters running after their victims, who screamed at high volume. People falling from the sky, repeatedly. Women with long black hair, blood dripping from their eyes and mouths, never affected me. They were never my dreams, so they couldn’t touch or inflict any harm on me. A werewolf lurking in the periphery of my vision when I was younger was symbolic of Thorne, waiting on the borders of my mind, ready to be awakened. Though the image of a wolf three times my size with enormous claws and equally large teeth followed me everywhere, I was never afraid. The only thing that really left my heart racing and skin sweaty long after waking up was
