Paden Bray Novels & Stories

Adryan is my HOME. THE END

"She's part of our team." Walter raised an eyebrow. "The newbie has teeth. I like it." "We still need one more," Axel said. "Any ideas?" As if on cue, a guy stumbled over to us. He was tall, gangly, with red hair and a grin that was way too friendly for someone who was dead. "Hey! You guys need a seventh? I'm Brady. Brady O'Neil. I'm great at not dying. Well, except for that one time, obviously, but that doesn't count."

They run to Tamera as she runs to them. Paige is about 4 inches smaller than her mom. And Brady is about 6 inches taller. They don't look like twins because of the vast difference. She's petite and he's tall and muscular. "I have missed you so much!! I can't believe you're here!" Tamera smiled. "We missed you too, mom." Paige said. "We missed you too, mom." Brady repeated. "So let me introduce you. This is Sheila and her husband Michael, who own this resort." Tamera introduced them.

Brennan marched forward righteously, his face cold. “I am Brennan Stanton, Chief Leonard Bray’s top disciple!” “Since Harvey wants to be under my wing, he’s now my disciple and Chief Leonard’s follower!” “Master gave orders: no one is allowed to even touch a strand of Harvey’s hair. Anyone who does that shall be killed without remorse!” Brennan pulled out his hand and displayed a jade badge with the name “Bray” carved on it. “Chief Leonard Bray?!” Lebron’s armed underlings were shocked.

Praying he wasn’t too late, Brady pulled into the closest parking spot next to the door of the animal shelter, ripped out his keys, and ran inside. He glanced around, looking for Noelle, looking for Pooch, but then, the parking lot only held Noelle’s SUV and another car he thought belonged to one of the volunteers, so he wasn’t surprised that he didn’t see Pooch’s owner inside.

"Uh-oh." Jen looked back at her pleadingly as if begging her not to say anything. Kerry was too shocked to do anything more than stand there at a loss. The two elderly people made their way up the steps with a little baggie from the diner. "We decided to sneak you one of those pastry things you like from the diner. The boy still hard at work?" Gramps grinned at her before he got a good look at who was standing there on her steps, and his whole demeanor changed.

Adrian protested. "We will heal her if something goes wrong," Elizabeth assured him. "Rayne is tired, and her face is red! She can barely keep her eyes open!" Adrian attempted to make them change their minds, but they were persistent. "I'm sorry," he mumbled and took a few steps away from me. Adrian was careful when he fired the first ball towards me. I flinched, thinking that it would touch me, yet it fell beneath my feet. He was told to fire three more balls and the result was the same.

This was not the place or the time to confront her—not yet. Ryder, sensing the shift in Brayden’s demeanor, whispered, “Want me to tail him?” Brayden’s jaw clenched. “No. Not yet.” This was a game of patience now. He needed to know who this man was, what his connection to Penelope was, and—most importantly—what the hell he was doing here tonight. Brayden watched as Penelope chatted animatedly with the man, her smile never faltering. And for the first time in a long time, Brayden Giovanni felt something unfamiliar coil in his chest.

In Raiden's mind, there was always some attractive women available who weren't in his employ and he had the self-control to over-look as many as he wanted. "This is my associate, Braylen Adams." Raiden moved to the side to expose his partner behind him. Emery didn't know how she had missed this man entering. He was no Raiden De Ville, but if there was to be a runner up, the spot would surely be his. He seemed warmer, a smile instant as he took her hand in his. "It's my pleasure, Ms. James." The parties seated themselves, the room silenced as Raiden checked his cell. Without looking up from the screen he questioned. "You have an assistant?"

Brian makes him wait for a second before opening his mouth again to reply. "We found a dead body outside the pack territory" Brian's words make a muscle to tick on Adryan's jaw, Jade gasps lightly as she hears this.
