The beloved one Newly shifted
“My view has never changed. You are my mate. I love you, and you belong here in this pack. Have you changed your mind, and what are the alternatives?” he asked.Adina took a moment to think it over. The tour today had made her feel more secure, and she felt their pack might be able to avoid the past.“I think I have,” she said, making Colin look like a child at Christmas.“But I still want us to go through some things. There are alternatives where I live here most of the time but maybe rotate out a couple of months a year,” she said.“No,” Colin said without hesitation. “I don’t trust that you will be safe away from me”.“Honey, even if I stay here permanently, I will have to travel some. I have duties that take me across the world. You need to be okay with that. I know that as alpha, you won’t be able to join me all the time,” she said honestly. Colin didn’t look happy but contemplated it for a while.“If Sean joins you when I can’t and you let me send a couple of warriors with you,
The beloved one Restpect
Then Adina realised Johnny didn’t know how he should behave. He felt the need to fix the situation, but he didn’t know-how. Adina placed a hand on Colin’s knee to calm him.“Lower your eyes, Johnny; you need to bow your head and neck to show your submission. To look the alpha in the eyes is how you challenge their authority,” she spoke to Johnny in a stern voice.He shifted his eyes from Colin to Adina in surprise.“You do not look at her,” Colin snarled, and Johnny finally understood and lowered his eyes and exposed his neck. The tension was high, and Adina felt the need to do something. Her hand was massaging Colin’s knee to make him relax a bit. Something was off in this family, but she didn’t know exactly what.“We want Johnny to come alive at the pack house for a while since he just shifted. How old are you, Johnny?” Adina took charge of the conversation.“Fifteen”, he answered, looking at the rug. That was a bit on the later side of shifting for the first time, but not unheard
The beloved one My luna
Adina’s POV“Amy, we need to discuss something serious,” Colin started. Adina looked at the she-wolf in front of her and could see she had her eyes down and her hands fidgeted in her lap.“You have shown disrespect to your future luna, and this will not be tolerated,” Colin continued. At those words, Amy instinctively looked at Adina with hatred, thinking Adina had told Colin.A deep, warning growl came from Colin, making Amy bow her head in submission.“You will not look at your luna like that; you will not look at her, period,” he growled.Adina realised she liked that he was so protective. Then she wondered if it was okay to feel like that. She had always seen herself as strong and independent. She ended up conflicted, but still, she reached out and placed a hand on Colin’s hand to calm him.Something had snapped in Amy. Adina could feel the emotions built in the she-wolf. Maybe they had been there for so long that now that Colin finally acknowledged them, she thought she had to do
The beloved one I don't have a mate
Sean’s POVIt had been a long time since Sean had been a part of a pack like this one. Even though neither he nor Adina were officially part of the Blackmoon pack, they were treated like it. The number of wolves that had come up to tell him welcome was overwhelming.A surprising development was that as a named brother of the alpha, the new lunas bodyguard, a skilled warrior and unmated. Sean had become price game for the young unmated she-wolves of the pack.It had taken Sean a while to notice, but as he stood a little to the side, making sure Adina was safe, he noticed a large group of women, giggling. It unnerved him, but they didn’t seem to be a threat, so he ignored them. Then a couple of them walked over to him, asking him questions and Sean did his best to be polite, but get them to leave.Jason came walking over to him with a grin on his face. Sean shook his head, that grin couldn’t mean anything good.“Sean, looks like I have some competition for the eligible woman of the pack
The beloved one Marking
“I have a bad feeling about this, and we have waited long enough. My wolf is going crazy from not having marked his mate. If we go into that situation without you wearing his mark, I don’t think I can hold him back,” Colin explained.Adina nodded. Her wolf wasn’t happy about the marking situation, either. Adina had held off so long because she didn’t want to let him mark her if she ended up leaving. But as she would stay, she had no objections.“Sounds fine by me,” she agreed.Colin looked at her like she had sprouted a second head.“What? I thought that was what you wanted. Do you want me to say no?” she asked, confused.“No, I just thought you would object,” he said.“That was because I thought I would leave,” she smiled.The biggest grin appeared on Colin’s face. Adina couldn’t help but laugh.“What?” he asked.“Nothing,” she said, shaking her head. “So that we understand each other. I’m going to stay here as your luna. But I will still be the alpha of the White Rose pack. That inc
The beloved one The panic room
“You must go into the panic room,” Colin told Adina.“Colin, I can help,” she protested. Colin looked at Sea,n and Sean nodded. He understood.“Adina, the panic room. Now,” Sean said.“Sean,” she said.“One rule,” he told her. She sighed and nodded.Sean went into full protection mode. He stayed glued to her side. Sean was right there even when she hugged and kissed Collin.“You too, Julia,” he heard Mateo say, and Julia let out a small sob.Sean and Colin looked at each other again and nodded once more before Sean led the two women towards the library. He would have liked to fight some rogues himself. Let off some steam. But he knew his place was by Adina’s side.As they arrived in the library, the door to the panic room was already open, and pack members were moving down at a steady pace. They stopped and offered Adina to go first.“No, you go. Sean and I will make sure we don’t get ambushed,” she told them.Sean would have felt better with her in the shelter, but the one door into
The beloved one Healing power
On the bed in the examination room, Mateo was stretched out on his back as Doc and Amy franticly tried to help him. If Adina hadn’t known that the person on the bed was Mateo, it would have been hard to guess.It looked like some explosive had gone off in his mouth, his jaw was dislocated, and he had what looked like burns all over his face but more concentrated around his mouth. His body looked like it had been shredded and grated. At a glance, Adina could see two fractures breaking his skin and at least three dislocated joints.She took in a deep breath and stepped closer. Her focus was on his face. She hissed when she realised why he looked the way he did. She turned to Colin.“Silver?” she asked. He nodded.“They had these harnesses strapped over their neck and chest. We didn’t know what they were until Mateo tried to rip the throat out of one of them and bit into a harness. It exploded and sprayed a silver mist on him. He mind linked the rest of the warriors to tell us before he
The beloved one The sting operation
Adina’s POVThe day that followed the attack was stacked with tasks to be done. As Adina had been formally introduced as Colin’s mate and they had marked each other, the pack treated her like their luna. To Adina’s surprise, she didn’t have as much trouble fitting into the role as she thought.The rumours about Adina healing five members of the pack spread quickly. Both Adina and Sean had seen different reactions to her abilities from packs and had learned that it was better to be prepared for a bad reaction. To their surprise, the pack showed nothing but gratitude and amazement.“Maybe it was destined that we end up here,” Sean said to Adina, Colin, and Jason as they had gathered in Colin’s office to go through what was left to be done.“Of course, it was,” Colin said. “Adina is my mate; the goddess wouldn’t have given her a mate with a pack that couldn’t handle her abilities,” he continued confidently.“You’ll have to ask her sometime,” Sean said with a chuckle.“You can speak to th
