The beloved one Rescue mission
Colin’s POVColin looked at the teenager in front of him. How could he not know what a true mate was? Better yet, how could this boy have been living in his pack with no one noticing what his father had been teaching him?Sean was the first to recover from the shock of Johnny’s question.“A true mate is the one that the moon goddess has chosen for you—your perfect match. Once you are eighteen and meet, there is instant recognition,” he explained to the boy.“But then why would you need to take a mate?” Johnny asked.“Take a mate?” Colin asked.“Yeah. Dad explained that when you find someone you like and are above eighteen, you take them as your mate by biting their neck. He said that the best thing to do is to surprise them as it can hurt, and you don’t want them to know it’s coming. So, you hide somewhere that there aren’t many other people, and you know they will be at,” he explained.Colin and Sean both growled, and Adina let out a surprised yelp. Johnny looked scared.“You will do
The beloved one Flying high
Adina acted on pure instinct. She had a lot of pent-up anger toward the man, and her adrenalin was pumping. As she mind linked Sean and heard him roar downstairs, she flung her hand out and released her magic.A surprised Brian was lifted off the floor and flung against the wall. He skidded along the wall until his head reached the ceiling. He stopped, still pinned to the wall, his neck cranked in an uncomfortable angel.Sean roared into the room, looked at Adina and then at Brian, and grinned. He walked up to Adina.“Are you okay, baby cake?” he asked, letting his hand run along her arm.“I’m fine. He never got close enough to even breath on me,” Adina said, still feeling the rage.“Are you going to let him down?” Sean asked.“I don’t think so, not right now,” she answered and turned to Barbara.“Barbara, I need you to mind link Colin and tell him to come back,” Adina smiled at her.“But Brian,” Barbara said, not taking her eyes off her mate pinned to the wall.“Don’t look at him. He
The beloved one The inspector
Adina’s POVAdina got ready in record time and, for once, she didn’t wait for her mates before heading down for breakfast. Sean was in the bathroom and Colin was in the closet when she left. Before she had got to the kitchen, she got a mind link from Sean.‘Where are you?’ he asked.‘Kitchen,’ she answered.‘Why didn’t you wait for us?’‘No time, Sean. Julia and I need to go through some things before the inspector gets here. The last couple of days, we haven’t had time to sit down,’ she explained as she started making breakfast.Julia soon joined her and as they both made breakfast, they talked about the day that was ahead of them.“I’ll introduce you as Colin’s wife, as the humans know he is the leader. It makes sense that you join in the inspection,” Julia said as Colin, Sean, Mateo, and Jason all came walking in.They all sat down and started eating. Julia and Adina continued to talk about the inspection. The others listened with half an ear.“You know that I’m going to be there a
The beloved one Consequences
‘Where are you?’ Adina mind linked to Sean.‘In my old apartment, Colin had a meeting, and I didn’t want these two in the common area,’ he told her.“Julia, could you mind link Mateo and having him tell Colin that I’m dealing with the two boys in Sean’s old apartment?” Adina asked Julia. It was getting on her nerves to be unable to mind link Colin herself.“Sure thing,” Julia said.When Adina got to the fourth floor, Colin was waiting for her. He gave her a hug and a kiss.“I heard what happened,” he sighed.Together they went into the apartment and saw one bay sitting on the bed, the other on the couch. Both looked like they were sulking. Sean stood with folded arms between them. He smiled when he saw Adina and Colin. He walked up to her and kissed her.“Johnny, we have talked about appropriate behaviour in a pack. To shift in front of a human is unacceptable,” Colin started.“No, Colin. This wasn’t Johnny’s fault,” Adina said.“She is right. Even though he was the first that started
The beloved one Barbara's story
Sean’s POVAdina looked about to cry as she recollected what the woman had told her. Sean felt powerless as he had no idea how to help her. He continued to rub her feet. He was hoping that it would bring her some comfort.He looked up and met Colin’s eyes. He could see his own emotions mirrored back at him. Sometimes there was nothing either of them could do. They just needed to be here for their mate.“She and Brian were from different packs but attended the same high school. They didn’t know each other. Barbara said she didn’t even know Brian existed. When she turned eighteen, she found her mate; it was one of her friends,” Adina told them. “Two days after she turned eighteen, she was studying with some friends in the library. She went to find a book they needed, and Brian attacked her and marked her,” Adina continued. Both Sean and Colin let out a low growl.Sean had to contain himself not to go and find that wretched man. To forcefully mark someone was as sick and twisted as it c
The beloved one The second mark
Sean’s POVAs soon as the door shut behind them, Sean and Colin pounced on Adina. She gave up a small yelp of surprise as Colin ripped her blouse to shreds and started kissing her. Sean lifted her skirt up and kissed her neck as his hands caressed every inch of her thighs and ass.“Bed,” Colin growled, and as Colin lifted Adina, Sean pulled down her skirt.Colin quickly moved to the bed and placed Adina on the edge as he started kissing her neck, moving downwards. Sean kissed Adina’s lips and felt the same rush of amazement he always did at the fact that he could do that.As he felt Adina respond to him and her soft moans as Colin ripped her bra from her body to get to her breast, Sean used his body to push Adina down on the bed. He continued to kiss her as Colin concentrated on her breasts.Sean let go of Adina’s lips to let her catch her breath. He looked into her eyes, and her lust was evident. He pushed himself off the bed and knelt beside it by her legs. As he watched Colin suck
The beloved one The ceremony
Adina’s POVAdina woke up with Colin’s and Sean’s arms around her. She smiled and decided to enjoy the feeling of warmth and the familiar sparks that tickled her skin where Colin touched her. It took her a minute to realise that the sparks weren’t just coming from Colin.Adina placed her hand on Sean’s chest with a small gasp, waking him up. He gave her a sleepy smile and tightened his grip on her. But she was focused on her hand on his chest. She lifted it, looked at it and then placed it down again.“What are you doing?” Sean smiled.Adina felt Colin stir behind her, and he sleepily placed a kiss on her shoulder.“Too early, Baby,” he mumbled.“There are sparks,” she said, dumbfounded.“Yes, baby. I would have thought you had got used to them by now,” Colin said, absentmindedly stroking his hand up and down her waist.“Not there, here,” she said, lifting her hand and placing it on Sean’s chest again.Sean looked at it and then at her.“I can feel them too,” he said, surprised.Colin
The beloved one Divine presence
Colin’s POVColin was sitting in his office with Mateo. They were looking over the winter preparations. Usually, they get a lot of snow around January and February. They needed to ensure they had vehicles that could handle it and food supplies that could last through long winter storms.‘Colin, can you come downstairs?’ Adina mind linked him.He smiled. He loved that they could mind link with each other. It was proof that they now were of the same pack. He had gotten used to the feeling of belonging to two packs. Sean had taught him how long-distance mind linking worked. They had used Cernack as a guinea pig.‘We will be done in about twenty minutes,’ he linked back.‘Sorry, honey, but I need you to come down right now. We have a guest we can’t leave waiting,’ she told him.‘A guest? No one has been announced,’ he said.‘It’s Selene; she won’t be coming through the gates,’ Adina told him, and he could hear the amusement in her voice.Colin shot up from his chair, and Mateo gave him a
