The beloved oneย ย ย Picking up where we left off
Adinaโs POVโDid anyone tell alpha Dean he was on the shortlist?โ Sean asked.โNo, 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.โ 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 hadnโt 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.โMost alphas that come from an alpha line know about me and how we move around,โ Adina said. โItโs 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.โ She continued.โCernack, I want you to call him and ask about it. We can assume Colin isnโt the only alpha he has contacted. If he asks why you are calling, tell him an alpha reac

Colinโs 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 didnโt look in her eyes, that is, her eyes were deep pools of desire and it turned him on like nothing he had ever experienced.โYou are fucking perfect, baby,โ 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

Adinaโs POVโI donโt see why I canโt come,โ Colin said angrily for the tenth time.โBecause if he recognises you, he will know in what pack Iโm staying, or at least he will guess,โ Adina said, placing a hand on his arm.โStay in the car. It will be parked just outside the door. If anything happens, you can come running,โ she continued with a smile. Colin huffed. โIโm sorry honey,โ 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 wouldnโt have let them come on the trip at all.But she couldnโt 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 didnโt handle it calmly.โNext time I see that bastard I will kill him,โ Colin fumed. โYou are MINE,โ he growled.โI know honey, but he didnโt know,โ Adina soothed, sliding closer to him and rubbing his arm.โHe should have known you werenโt his. What kind of alpha is he?โโYes, he should have known that we had already met and nothing happened. But you know how hope can mess with your head,โ Adina switched tactics and put her hand on the side of his face. Making him turn towards her and make eye contact.โIโm yours. You know that I know that, and that is all that is importantโโI want everyone to know,โ he huffed.โI know. I would like that as well. But you know why we canโt do that now,โ she patiently said. He responded with a puff of air. โThe bigger issue at the moment is that we have a leak in the council,โ Ad

Adinaโs POVโI would like to get a feel for her abilities. I will use our most dependable female warrior. No harm will come to her,โ Jason said, the last part directed at Colin.Colin nodded, but Adina could see the hesitation. He didnโt like the idea of her being in danger, even if it was no real danger involved.โI wasnโt worried for her sake,โ 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.โReady to spar?โ Jason asked Adina.โSure thing. What did you have in mind?โ she answered, taking a swipe out of her water bottle.โThis is

Adinaโs POVโTo 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. Itโs magic,โ she said. Colin looked at her and nodded.โI didnโt want you to be shocked by the things you see me do. Just be prepared for some unusual things, okay?โ she added.โAre you worried that I might react in a bad way?โ Colin asked.Adina was worried. She didnโt want him to look at her the way some of the other alphas had looked at her. She simply nodded, avoiding looking at him.โBaby, I know that you have powers. I have seen you use them. I will never look at you differently because of them,โ he assured her, lifting her chin so she would look at him.โKnowing and seeing are different things, and my healing power is, compared to other things, quite unremarkable. There have been some bad reactions,โ she confessed. He huffed, clearly not impressed.โWeak persons. Donโt compare me to them. Show me,โ he said, looking her in

Colinโs POVColin sat on the log, holding one of Adinaโs hands in his, with his eyes closed. He heard Adinaโs 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 Adinaโs hand to his.โOpen your eyes,โ Adina whispered.Colin opened his eyes, and he couldnโt 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 Seanโs 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.โNot yet,โ

Adinaโs POVโRogue attack apparently. His older brother is okay. No, he doesnโt. I asked his brother not to phone him. I thought it would be better coming from you,โ Cernack told her.โThank you. Iโll do it at once and ask him to call his brother,โ she linked back. She sighed at went into the bedroom where Colin already had gotten into bed.โI need to go to see Sean. His father has died,โ she told him.โIโm sorry to hear that,โ Collin said sincerely. โIs there anything I can do?โ he then asked.โNo, but thank you for asking. I donโt know when Iโll be back. You should go to sleep. Iโll try not to wake you when I come back. Or do you prefer me to stay with Sean?โ she asked.Colin was in front of her faster than she thought was possible.โYou will sleep here. I will not accept you sleeping somewhere else. We have a deal,โ Colin pointed out. Looked at her intently.โI know. I just donโt want to disturb you,โ she said.โI donโt care. You talk to Sean and then you come back to me,โ Colin sa

The beloved oneย ย ย The verdict
Jouko stood up and tried to look like he wasnโt half starving. He bowed towards the gods and the jury. โMy lord, my lady,โ he addressed the gods. โThe things that you have been told here today have been taken out of context and twisted to make them seem like something they are not,โ he continued. โI am happy to hear that. Could you put things in the right context, please?โ Absalom said. โWith pleasure, my lord. In the last five generations the Beloved One have been showing signs of weakness that, quite frankly, is dangerous,โ Jouko said. โHowโs that?โ Selene asked. โThey have been more restricting when it comes to interactions with humans. We have fewer ways to express our true nature. The council has put laws and restrictions in place to protect the weak humans from us. Itโs a threat to my race,โ Jouko told her. โThe Beloved One, would you like to respond?โ Absalom asked. โI would, thank you,โ Adina said, standing up. She didnโt walk toward the gods or the vampire. She stood b
The beloved oneย ย ย The trial
Colinโs POV It had been a month since the battle. The pack was in one place again. Colin, Adina, Sean and Clara and Julia had all gone to the dryads to thank them for watching over their pack members. Despite losing some of their pack members in the battle, the pack had stayed strong and as word got out that the Beloved One lived in the pack, they had gotten a lot of attention. The pack had taken it in stride. They were proud of their luna. Colin was proud of his pack and of his two mates. Today was the day for the trial and they would once again go to the dryadsโ land. The only way to let them take part in the trial was to hold it on or near their land. The local tribe had generously offered to host the event. Each race had selected five representatives, except for humans that were peacefully unaware of the whole thing. The enemy vampires and the rogues had been allowed to choose three individuals each to represent them at the trial. The trial would be open to leaders of the race
The beloved oneย ย ย A final stance
Adinaโs POVโHello, mother. Iโm fine, a little more tired than usual. But Iโm perfectly fine to eat lunch with the pack,โ Sean said.โYou know Adina, and this is my other mate, alpha Colin. Colin, this is my mother and Tia,โ Sean introduced them.โMrs Murphy, Tia,โ Colin nodded.โAlpha Colin,โ both women said with a bow.Adina didnโt like that Seanโs mother hadnโt offered Colin to call her by her first name. It was a clear sign she didnโt accept him as her sonโs mate. Adina felt both her mates tense up.โWould you like something to eat? You have had a long journey,โ Adina asked.Seanโs mother looked at her and it wasnโt a hostile look, but it was cold and accusing. Adina had no doubt that Seanโs mother saw her as the reason her son had almost been killed. It was enough hostility in her eyes for both Colin and Sean to stand up and move closer to Adina.โNo thank you, we ate on the way,โ Seanโs mother told her.Adina saw it wasnโt just her mates that was reacting to the presence of the
The beloved oneย ย ย Telling the pack
Seanโs POVโSo she brought Tia with her,โ Adina sighed. It wasnโt a question.Sean growled, and he felt Colin tense up and growl as well.โThat can be an issue,โ Adina admitted.โBoth Colin and I are more protective than usual, as you can understand,โ Adina added.โI understand,โ Liam nodded.โThat goes for the pack as well. We have just been through a major battle, and they almost lost Sean. If they find out someone is trying to take him away, that individual will not have a peaceful time in this pack,โ Colin said.โI get that, and if you allow her to visit, I will make that clear to her. I have talked to her after your visit and she knows she was in the wrong,โ Liam said.โWe will let them in. Seanโs mother should be able to see him,โ Adina said.โBaby cake, that isnโt necessary,โ Sean objected.โI have no issue turning them away,โ Colin agreed.โBut I do. Are you going to argue with me?โ Adina asked.โNo, baby,โ Colin sighed.โYou are too stubborn and kind-hearted for your own good
The beloved oneย ย ย Waking up
Seanโs POVSean was slowly gaining consciousness. He felt tired; it wasnโt the kind of tired he usually got after a long day. This was tired like as if he wasnโt lying down, he would probably have ended up in a pile on the floor. He had a faint recollection of being injured; he had a clear memory of wanting to see Adina one last time.Was he alive? He pondered as he focused. He could feel someone having their hand on his arm and someone was holding his hand. Sean could feel the sparkles that ran over his skin. His brain got a little clearer, and he smelt the scent of his mates. He opened his eyes and looked to his left.Besides the bed he was lying in, Colin sat in an armchair with a sleeping Adina in his lap. Adina was holding Seanโs hand in hers, even in her sleep, and Colin had his hand on Seanโs arm.Sean met Colinโs eye and Colin smiled.โWelcome back,โ Colin mind linked Sean and squeezed his arm.โThank you. Where have I been?โ Sean asked.โOut of it. You are in big trouble, my
The beloved oneย ย ย Waiting
Colinโs POVColin watched Adina work. Her eyes were closed, and she had her hands on Seanโs body. There was a steady trickling of silver coming out of is wound and into the basin.Clara came walking into the room with Jason. Jason went pale when he saw Sean. Clara swallowed hard but continued to walk up to the gurney. Before Colin knew it, he had emitted a low growl as a warning. His wolf was just under the surface and saw both his mates being vulnerable and he reacted out of instinct.โSorry,โ he said to Clara. She had frozen in the spot as he growled, and Jason had moved between his friend and his mate. โGo ahead, just go slow and donโt do any sudden movements,โ Colin tried to smile at them.They had decided that Clara should stay in the shelter during the attack in case something went wrong, and Doc had been injured during the attack. Clara hadnโt been happy about it, but it was the prudent thing to do as they now had two doctors in the pack.She now carefully looked over Seanโs i
The beloved oneย ย ย The challenge
Adinaโs POVThe enemies in front of Adina parted to let a tall woman through. She was slender and had short midnight black hair and brown eyes that was filled with hatred and loathing.โDiedre, I presume,โ Adina smirked.โAdina, cousin,โ the woman smiled. But Adina could tell that she wasnโt pleased that Adina had known her name.โItโs time to stop this, Diedre. You will never have my title and you most definitely wonโt have my powers,โ Adina said.โWhy would we stop when we are winning?โ Diedre asked. Adina laughed, but it was a laugh void of all amusement.โYou are more delusional than I thought, cousin. Letโs stop this unnecessary killing and part ways,โ Adina said.โIโm not the one with a mate that is more dead than alive,โ Dierdre smirked.Both Colin and Adina growled at her.โYou may not be, but you are the one with a fast-depleting army. Do you think these are the only warriors that will fight in my name? Magical creatures from around the world is standing by to send us backup.
The beloved oneย ย ย The protector
Seanโs POVSean knew he needed to get his men over to Colin as soon as possible. If what Adina said was true and the main vampire force was heading there, Colin and his men would be in trouble.He shifted back to his human form for a moment to give orders to the surrounding warriors. He was still amazed at how many warriors Adina had rounded up. Sean had a good idea about how she had done it. They would have a conversation about that when this was over.โI need half of you to stay here, half of you need to come with me. We have a large number of vampires moving towards team Aโs position. We will offer them support,โ Sean told them. Seanโs brother shifted back to his human form next to Sean.โWe will follow you,โ he told Sean, and Sean nodded. He had been surprised when he saw his brother come sprinting through the woods. But he was grateful that he and his warriors had joined them.Sean shifted back to his wolf and then he was off. He mind linked Jason and Mateo to make sure they knew
The beloved oneย ย ย Portals
Adinaโs 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 hadnโt told them about it. She felt a little guilty for that. But not so much that she wouldnโt 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.โWe are under attack, we need our allies on site now,โ Adina mind linked Cernack.โAre you safe, my lady?โ he asked.โI am, but my mates and my pack arenโt. 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,โ Adina said.โYes, my lady,โ Cernack said.Adina turned to her two friends and smiled.โIโm going
