Adrian Mckinty Books

SIX-PACK SERIES BOOK FIVE ~ *If you haven't read books 1-4, I highly recommend starting the series with Alpha Gray and reading the prior books in order (Gray, Theo, Jax, Brock) for context before starting this one* REID : I've always exercised complete control in all things. When it comes to my pack, I'm in control as its Alpha. In everyday life, I follow a schedule and value structure and discipline. My friends think I stick too close to the rules, but maintaining order and being in control are the key things that keep me grounded. That's part of the reason why the wait for my fated mate has been so frustrating- because it's the one thing I have no control over. And when I finally meet her, I quickly realize she's equally as uncontrollable, as is the bond between us. I've been waiting all my life for Serena, but when she shows up on the eve of a war, can I really trust her? And if so, will I ever be able to conquer her chaos? ~ SERENA : They say life is full of choices, but mine were stripped from me the moment my pack was attacked and my family was killed. Since then, I've been on autopilot, just doing what I have to do to survive. That is, until the last thing I expect to happen, does; I stumble upon my fated mate. I suddenly have a choice again- give in to the mate bond between Reid and I, or risk losing it all. Can I trust him with my secrets, and can he handle them? Once he knows the truth, will he even still want me? It's an impossible choice, because no matter which one I make, I may still lose everything…

No meu aniversário, meu marido, Adrian Grant, apareceu de repente com minha irmã adotiva mais nova, Bella Reed, e a filha dela, Tia Reed. Quando chegou a hora de sair, ele bem naturalmente acomodou Bella no banco do passageiro da frente. Depois se virou para mim e disse calmamente: — A Tia enjoa fácil no carro. O banco de trás está cheio de coisas. Já que você não enjoa, vá de ônibus. Nossos amigos imediatamente começaram a concordar, um após o outro: — Você é a irmã mais velha. Cuidar da sua sobrinha é o mínimo. Quatro carros estavam saindo, mas não sobrou um único assento para mim, a suposta protagonista do dia. Sentei no ônibus, engolindo minha mágoa, e vi Adrian e Bella interagindo de forma ambígua no grupo de mensagens. Eles até falavam sobre assuntos dos quais eu não sabia absolutamente nada. Quando abri o vídeo que tinham acabado de enviar, não restava nada na mesa preparada para mim além de sobras. Adrian ainda pegou o bolo de aniversário que eu havia preparado com tanto cuidado e tratou como se fosse apenas uma sobremesa qualquer, dando colheradas na boca de Bella e da filha dela. Alguém finalmente não aguentou e perguntou se aquilo era apropriado. Adrian, que limpava cuidadosamente a boca de Bella, sequer levantou os olhos. — Somos todos família. A Julia não vai ficar brava. Naquele momento, meu casamento de sete anos tinha chegado ao seu fim.

I survived three years under Adrian Blackwood's control by learning to disappear. He made me believe I was nothing, and I got so good at being invisible that I almost forgot I existed. Then three strangers showed up claiming to be my brothers. They said I was stolen from a family I never knew, a family that's been searching for me. Suddenly everything I'd buried came flooding back: wealth, danger, enemies, and a life that was supposed to be mine. Lucien, Marcus, and Elias dragged me into their world of power and secrets. They offered protection, but it came with strings attached. Rules I had to follow. A role I had to play. And then there's Rowan, my assigned protector who looks at me like I'm a puzzle he can't solve. Every word between us feels dangerous. Every look makes me want things I swore I'd never risk again. Trust. Connection. Something real. But Adrian won't let me go that easily. He's still out there, circling, reminding me that girls like me don't escape. Now I'm not just fighting to survive. I'm fighting to become who I was always meant to be, before Adrian, before the fear. The woman my family lost. The woman Rowan sees. Some secrets won't stay buried. Neither will I.
