Adina even found that she was less annoyed by Tia’s presence.“Could I talk with you, Adina?” Sean’s mother asked as they had almost finished eating.“Sure,” Adina smiled at her.“I’ll join you,” Sean said.“I was hoping to have a word with Adina,” his mother told him.“I think I’ll insist,” Sean said, and Adina looked at him with surprise.“It’s okay, Sean, it’s you, mother,” she said, thinking he was slipping into his bodyguard role.“No, I think my brother is right. Let’s make it a family talk, and I’ll join as well,” Liam said.Adina looked at the two men. What was happening?“Fine,” their mother said.‘Love, what is going on?’ Adina asked Sean in a mind link.‘I just have a feeling,’ he told her.‘Okay, I trust you,’ she said.“Let’s use my office.

The beloved one The new apartment
Adina’s POVA week later and their bedroom was finally finished. Adina couldn’t wait to see it. The entire pack had kept its content a secret from her. Johnny had been put on lookout and had taken his job serious. As soon as Adina stepped foot inside the pack house, the teen was by her side and watched her movements.It could have been irritating, but Adina found it sweet. She liked to see how Johnny had changed. He had become more aware of himself and how to interact with other wolves. Adina had even seen Rose going up to talk to him. Johnny always kept a respectful distance from the young she-wolf and seemed almost shy.“Ready to see the new apartment?” Sean asked Adina.They had been in her office for most of the morning and afternoon. The White rose pack needed a budget review, and Cernack had asked for a call later in the week.“More than ready,” Adina smiled.“Come on then,” Sean said, reaching out his hand to her.Adina jumped up and took his hand.

Breakfast was also the only meal the alpha throuple didn’t eat with the pack.Julia and Mateo came in just as Adina poured the scrambled eggs into a bowl and handed it to Colin to bring to the table. “You should have let me help with breakfast,” Julia said.“No, need,” Adina smiled and handed her a basket with toast. Julia smiled and took it to the table before sitting beside her mate.Sean came and gave her a quick kiss, grabbed the plate with bacon, and walked over to the table. Jason came into the kitchen and smiled at Adina.“We missed you at dinner yesterday,” he smirked. Adina fought hard against blushing.“Stop teasing my mate,” Colin said, givi

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

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
