Adrian Shephard Novels & Stories

"Stuff? Come on. Don't be shy. You gotta be doing something interesting." Adrian clears his throat, his leg bouncing nervously. "I, um... I teach. Actually. I’m an English professor. At Blackwood university." Drake lets out a low, appreciative whistle, the corners of his eyes crinkling. "No shit? A professor. That fits you, man. I always knew you were the smart, responsible type. I can totally see you grading papers in a cardigan." He laughs, a rich, warm sound that makes Adrian's stomach flip.

Dark, blazing eyes already stared at me. Shea was suddenly next to us. I let go of his dick. "I can take over." She said to me. Adrian let go of my hair and instead wound his arm around my body, pressing it against his. "No, Shea. Piss off." He snapped at her. She looked at him weirdly. "Okay, she can stay. I can show her what to do." She responded. "Shea. I said no. I want my human. Only my human." Adrian said against my cheek. "But you never have just one." She stated with anger. Suddenly, he whipped his head to her and grabbed her chin. His other arm tightened around me. "You call me my King, Shea. Get out." He ordered. Her face fell. "My King, I-"

She eventually blended in with the rest of them. They came in for loaves, for pies, for the sweet honey twists she had once made for Sophia on her birthday. They smiled at her. She did not smile back. But she listened. Always. They gossiped while they waited in line. “Adrian’s pack is opening a new route north—past the high pass. He’s preparing checkpoints all the way from the north to the south.” “He’s putting guards there, too. Says they’re hunting some rogue bitch who tried to kill his mistress. Not surprised though, what I heard was he killed her and his daughter after she did it.”

He let go of her hair, and I audibly breathed out a sigh of relief. He moved closer to the screen, briefly blocking my view of Emilia and Hugh. “The enemy is closer than you think,” he whispered, as if sharing a delicious secret. “What… do you mean?” I asked again. Adrian rolled his eyes, like he was dealing with a difficult child. “How do you think I got Hugh?” he said, pointing at my unconscious therapist. “A therapist you don’t let the world know about? A man who knows your little weaknesses and sob stories.”

"Yes, you're right. I was also the one who chased you. I had no ill intentions towards you at all. I just wanted to see who you were because you look like Darren, my husband." "Your husband? The man who looks like me is your husband?" "He's the leader of Pack Kyne," Diana said proudly. Damien was even more shocked because he thought Adam was still the leader of this territory. Fortunately, Alpha Darren could read Damien's mind, so he immediately rectified the wrong thought. "Decades have passed, Adam has handed over his throne to me. I knew you were the rightful candidate for the throne because you were older than me. So when I knew you were still alive, I wanted to find you. I was willing t

She asked taking a quick glance over at me “ I have a mate, her name is cherry.” Ryan smiles “ Cherry like the stone fruit ?

Nico’s POV Adrian’s report arrived before sunrise. I hadn’t slept. The photograph remained on my desk, turned facedown because every time I looked at it, I imagined my hands around Ethan Hale’s throat. Adrian entered carrying a thick folder and placed it in front of me. Leon followed, although no one had invited him. “Ethan Alexander Hale,” Adrian began. “Thirty-two. Chief executive of Hale International. Hotels, private resorts, property development, and logistics holdings across the United States and Europe.”

When Don saw Phelan, his eyes burned with hate. He bellowed—a sound that was somewhere between a yell, a moo, and a really loud belch. “Hey, Phelan,” She then shouted back. “Didn't I kill you already?” He pounded his fist into the dress she wore, and it crumpled like aluminum foil. A few dracaenae threw flaming javelins at her. She knocked them aside. A hellhound lunged, and she sidestepped. She could have stabbed it, but She hesitated. “This is not Mrs. O'Leary”, Don said to himself. This is an untamed wolf. It will kill me and all my friends.

I said, "I could keep you company sometimes." "You'll be late for school." he said and walked away. You won't be playing hard to get for too long. ** I saw Adam on my way to 5th period, he was standing at someone else's locker, the owner peeked out on the other side of the locker and I couldn't lie, she was pretty, way prettier than me, silky brown hair and hazel eyes, with full lips painted a nice rosy pink. She had on a black plaid skirt, a black hoodie and was wearing converse sneakers.

An elderly but good looking man greeted as he walked over to us. "Good evening Mr. Hudson and happy birthday," Philip replied with a smile. Undoubtedly the celebrant. "Thank you, son, I'm assuming this beautiful young lady beside you is your wife." I smiled at him, "Happy birthday Sir, I'm Giordana Forbes, Philip's wife." He accepted my outstretched hand. "Babe I'd like you to meet Mr. Denver Hudson my mentor and business partner, Mr. Hudson like she said, this is Giordana Forbes, my beautiful wife."
