Ronan

By the time I reached Adalia's room, the trembling in her body had eased, but I could still feel how tense she was in my arms.

Carefully, I lowered her onto the bed.

She barely moved as her back met the mattress, her eyes remaining fixed on me. I gently brushed a few strands of hair away from her face, tucking them behind her ear.

“Adalia, listen to me. You remember what I promised you? I told you I'd always be here, and that promise hasn't changed. No one is going to take you back there

    RonanKael glanced between Craig and me for a long moment before leaning back in his chair."Are you two trying to tell me that, after everything, you couldn't find out anything about the shipment and almost got yourselves caught in the process?"Craig cleared his throat, shifting slightly beside me."The information we received changed at the very last minute, Alpha. We tried our best to handle the situation, but things became complicated.""Complicated?" Kael repeated, his expression stern."We did manage to get something useful out of the trip," I chimed in before Craig could continue. "We questioned one of the waitresses who worked at the club. Her name is Jennifer, and we brought her here with us. She has some rather important information that could help move the investigation forward.""Then bring her in. Let's hear what she has to say."Craig nodded before turning towards the door. A moment later, he stepped outside to get her. While we waited, Kael picked up a document from hi

    RonanCraig and I immediately broke into a sprint, following her towards the car as a series of gunshots rang out behind us."Damn it!" Craig cursed.People who had been standing outside screamed and scattered in every direction. The waitress was already approaching the vehicle when Craig reached it. He unlocked the doors, and we scrambled inside.The moment I pulled the door shut, Craig started the engine."Get us the fuck out of here!" I barked.His foot slammed against the accelerator. The vehicle shot forward, sending me back against my seat.I reached into the glove compartment and retrieved the handgun I had stored there. Twisting around in my seat, I raised it towards the rear windshield and fired a few shots in the direction of our pursuers.The men immediately scattered, forcing some of them to take cover as Craig swerved onto the road.Another gunshot rang out, followed by several more, but the distance between us and the men behind us was already increasing.Craig took anot

    RonanThe moment I turned towards her, the masked woman was already raising her hand for another slap.What the fuck was her problem?Before she could bring it down, I caught her wrist and pulled her closer."Who the fuck are you?" I demanded in a low, dangerous voice.Instead of struggling, she leaned closer and whispered something that made my blood run cold."They already know who you are, Ronan. Once you and Craig walk through that door, neither of you will walk out alive. We need to leave. Right now. Just follow my lead."For a second, I stared at her.How the hell did she know my name? And what did she mean by they already knew who we were? Before I could demand an explanation, she shoved me away and raised her voice."How could you do this to me?!"Her sudden outburst caught me off guard. Tears welled up in her eyes as she stared at me, her voice trembling."After everything I sacrificed for you! I sold my father's properties and handed you the money because I believed in you!

    Ronan"What's the next move?" Craig asked, glancing around the club."Relax. First of all, we need a drink."With that, I turned and headed towards the bar, leaving him with little choice but to follow."A drink?" he muttered under his breath. "How are we supposed to be drinking when we still need to identify these people and find out what's going on here?"I ignored him.Honestly, Craig and his follow-the-book ways. Sometimes, I wondered how the man managed to survive in our line of work with such a rigid approach to everything.Reaching the bar, I rested my elbow against the counter and caught the bartender's attention."Two glasses of bourbon. Make them doubles."The bartender nodded before reaching for a bottle. A moment later, he placed two glasses on the counter, and I picked them up, sliding one towards Craig."Loosen up," I told him.He glanced at the drink before looking at me, his expression suggesting he was seriously wondering why Kael had paired the two of us together.Wh

  • The Rogue And His Scarred Mate   A Drunken Disguise

    Ronan The moment Craig turned off the engine, my attention returned to the clubhouse across the street. Men and women dressed in expensive outfits were making their way towards the entrance, their faces concealed behind different kinds of masks. One after another, they stopped in front of the bouncers stationed at the entrance, pressed their fingers against a biometric fingerprint scanner, and proceeded inside once their identities had been verified. I studied the entrance more carefully. This wasn't part of the information we'd received. Beside me, Craig let out a frustrated breath before turning in my direction. "What the fuck are we going to do now?" he asked, his expression troubled. "Our intel said this was supposed to be a masked party. Nobody mentioned anything about fingerprint verification. The invitation we obtained was a physical copy, and now they've apparently switched to biometric invitations at the last minute!" He glanced towards the entrance again. "How are we

    Ronan“Will this trip take days again, like the ones you used to go on with Caleb?”Adalia's question made me smile. Standing behind her, I slipped my arms around her waist and pulled her gently against me. She had been gazing out of the window, but now her attention shifted to me.“No, Lia. This time, I'll only be gone for the night. It's just a little scouting with Craig, Kael's Beta. Nothing more.”I kissed her softly on the side of her neck and felt her relax slightly against me.“Are you already going to miss me before I've even left?”She let out a quiet laugh, and I couldn't help smiling.Honestly, after spending almost a week indoors with her, it was about time I started making myself useful to the pack. As much as I enjoyed having her all to myself, there were responsibilities I couldn't keep putting off.Adalia gently moved her shoulders and turned around in my arms. Her beautiful eyes met mine, carrying a soft, pleading look.“Please be careful out there, okay?”For a momen
