The Trinity: The Ashland Pack Series (13 page)

“Nothing,
we just need to watch our backs. Selena feels we are being watched. I have already put patrols in position to try to spot anybody watching
us or following us to Ashland.”

“I have as
well, angel. I will always protect
you. We have Guards leading and
following us. Cade and I have
already discussed this and have prepared our people to watch for Rogues,”
Samson whispered.

Adrianna
gasped at her mates. “Okay guys,
what happened to talking with each other and working together?” Adrianna asked her mates.

“Listen
angel, we will do what we have to in order to protect you. You are ours to look after. We know what you do, but you also have
to know what we do. We are very
dominant Alpha males, who will do things without your knowledge or ask for your
permission so we can protect you. I
won’t apologize for that. You will
need to deal with it,” Samson snapped. His tone was clipped as he addressed
her.

“Adrianna,
we love you, but you need to give us a break on this,” Cade stated calmly.

His words
echoed in her head. Adrianna sighed
then rolled her eyes at her mates. “I just asked why you didn’t work with me on this. I want to share the responsibilities
too.”

Cade and
Samson both looked at Adrianna and smiled, but Adrianna knew that look. She knew her mates were not going to
discuss everything with her. Well,
two can play that game. Adrianna
planned as she felt the tension in her shoulders over her mates not being able
to completely trust her and tell her things they had planned.

Cade
crawled into the backseat with Adrianna. He pulled her toward him, and then got her to straddle his lap.

Cade
whispered quietly, “There is too much tension in this car. I will have my mate, then we will switch
half way and Samson will get to sit in the back with you. I want to take that tension you are
feeling away and I know just how to do it.” Cade’s sexy voice gave Adrianna goose
bumps. Cade knew Samson could hear
every word he said and knew what he intended to do to Adrianna in the back seat
as they drove to Ashland.

Adrianna
sighed as Cade placed soft kisses on her neck. “You are so beautiful, Adrianna. You take my breath away every time I
look at you. I will never get
enough of you.”

Adrianna
smiled as she enjoyed Cade’s soft kisses. “What a sweet talker you are, Cade Maxwell,” Adrianna whispered in
Cade’s ear.

Cade
immediately yanked her top off and started kissing down to her breasts. His hand slipped down to her pants and
instructed her to stand up. Then
Cade proceeded to pull her pants and underwear off. He growled as he sniffed the air,
knowing she was already wet for him. Cade could smell her arousal.

Adrianna
couldn’t control the wild feeling. Then again, she didn’t want to. She wanted to forget about everything and everybody for a while.

Then
Adrianna reached up and jerked Cade’s shirt until he lifted his arms and the
shirt came off. She couldn’t stop
touching his chest and stomach area. The only thought that came to her mind was stud or Adonis. The list could go on and on. He made her wetter just by looking at
him.

“Now you
stand up and strip those off.” Cade
just looked at her with that grin on his face that made her want to throw him
down and fuck him. He slowly moved
as best as he could to take off his shoes, socks, and pants. Dear God, the man wasn’t wearing any
underwear.

“You like
what you see, baby?”

“Oh yes,
yes I do.” Adrianna couldn’t
believe how she was talking. She
was usually so laid back and shy. Adrianna didn’t even blush as she was looking at Cade, licking her
lips. Hell, Adrianna couldn’t
believe she was naked in the back seat of a car. She started giggling at her thoughts.

“Honey, if
you keep laughing at me, then you are going to give me a complex. What’s so funny?”

“Nothing,
it’s just I can’t believe I’m sitting in the back of this car, naked, doing
this. It’s just funny.”

Samson
started laughing, which made Cade start laughing. Finally, Cade grabbed her and straddled
her legs across his lap. The laughing
stopped as the air crackled with desire. He started licking his way from her neck to her chest, traveling first
to her left breast, licking then sucking it. The stronger he sucked on her breast,
the wetter, and hotter she got. She
was panting with so much hunger for him. She couldn’t control the sounds she was making. He pulled his lips away from her breasts
latching onto her lips. He groaned
into her mouth. Adrianna couldn’t
control her actions. She located
Cade’s hardened member and lowered herself down onto him. He hissed into her ear, groaning as he
pushed her further down slowly. He
was going too slowly for Adrianna’s taste, so she pushed all the way down on
him. She whimpered, wanting more
and more from her mate. Cade
grabbed her ass, pulling her harder against him. He was so thick and long. She couldn’t believe she could take all
of him, he was so big. He knew how
to take her, how to make her moan louder. He pushed up as Adrianna came down. The friction he was putting on her sent electricity in the air. Magic was floating around them as tiny
sparks were dancing in the air.

“You drive
me crazy, Adrianna,” Cade groaned into her ear. Adrianna whimpered, knowing her orgasm
was coming fast. Growing wilder as
she moved. She wanted the hunger
she was feeling to last longer. She
cried out, aroused by her mate as the first orgasm came. Adrianna shivered, loosing herself as
the next orgasm came with a rush.

“Yes,
baby, let go. Damn Samson, she is
so hot and tight. I’m losing my battle
to last,” Cade bellowed.

Samson
growled, knowing he had two more hours to drive before he could be with his
mate. Listening to Adrianna and
Cade make love was killing him. He
was so hard he almost came in his pants listening to Adrianna’s moans and
cries.

Cade
hissed as he grabbed Adrianna tighter, fisting her hair pulling her neck back
as his orgasm approached. He pushed
her down further, sucking her neck where it met with her shoulder. Cade wanted to finish the bond and bite
Adrianna making her his, but Samson and he had discussed that they would wait
until they arrived in Ashland. They
both felt it was the place to complete the bond. Cade’s wolf came to the surface
scratching his way up, pushing his teeth out wanting Cade to bite their mate. Cade’s claws come out as he grabbed
Adrianna, placing little scratches on her ass. Cade backed his wolf down, telling him
they had to wait until they arrived in Ashland, and then together Samson and he
would bind as three with Adrianna. Cade came shouting Adrianna’s name, rubbing his hands up and down her
spine, whispering in her ear how much he cared for her. Adrianna had felt Cade’s claws come out,
but she knew with her being part wolf and vampire; she would heal within
minutes from the scratches.

Adrianna
and Cade settled back into the seat, struggling to gain control of their
breathing. “I’m tired now,”
Adrianna whispered, trying to keep her eyes open.

Cade
caught her face in his hands and lovingly looked down at her. “Sleep baby, just rest.”

“I’m too
heavy, I need to get off you,” Adrianna urged.

“No you’re
not, don’t move baby, you feel so good right here.”

Adrianna
couldn’t argue with Cade because she loved the feeling of being in his
arms. She closed her eyes and
drifted off to sleep.

Cade
continued to listen as Adrianna’s body began to relax and she fell into a deep
sleep before he spoke to Samson.

Samson
looked into the review mirror making eye contact with Cade before he
spoke. “We have to protect her even
if she doesn’t know about it. I
feel that more danger is coming. We
need to mate with her as soon as we get to Ashland. I can’t wait any longer. It’s hard enough driving while you are
back there with her. I want to
touch her all the time. I don’t
know if I can be without her even for a minute. It’s taking all of my control. I never knew it would be this way.” Caring about Adrianna had opened
Samson’s heart in a way he thought would never happen. He had used women for sex and never
thought about how they felt. He
couldn’t let anything happen to her. He would always protect Adrianna—even from herself.

“I know
how you feel, I want her again. I
can’t get enough of her. She is
everything to me. We will protect
her, Samson, or die trying. Call
the Guards to get an update and I will call my people.”

Samson
checked in with his Guards asking for an update. Cade looked down at Adrianna, holding
her closer, listening to Samson talk to his Guards.

Samson got
off the phone then stated, “They said they never actually saw anyone but they
could tell that we are being followed somehow. I made sure all our vehicles were spell
protected and bullet proof. We will
need to find a home big enough for us. This home will need enough room to accommodate the Guards and the
Protectors. I want Adrianna
protected at all times, even when she doesn’t know she is. I have put a call into a family friend
who is a powerful witch. We need
some magic involved since we really don’t know who is after her. I know Adrianna has her own magic, but I
trust this witch to assist us in this. She will provide magic for our home in case something happens and
Adrianna can’t use hers.”

“I spoke
with Joshua Cahill before we left the Resort. He told me that the Nether World has a
vested interest in Adrianna. They
believe if Adrianna were to be brought down and her powers used for evil, then
it will throw the Nether World into darkness. It will change everything, as we know
it. They plan to send their Wardens
to watch over the
Trinity
. We will need Joshua; he is extraordinary
in his job. He can figure stuff out
before you can even think it. He’s
a good friend who trained with Adrianna too. She will feel comfortable with him, but
I have only heard stories of the Wardens,” Cade said.

Samson
asked, “What are the Wardens, really? I have only heard stories about them in my training. I have never seen one. I only know they are dangerous and
magical creatures that can manifest into anything. They are very powerful and show no
emotion. I don’t know how Adrianna
will deal with them, she’s so loving, even with the Guards and the Protectors
she shows her heart.”

“Let’s
worry about them later when we actually know what we are dealing with. Let’s find a house and get her
settled. I need to get with my pack,
talk with Mace about moving some of them here to Ashland and having Betas
running the different areas. There
is a lot to do when we arrive, but first is to mate with Adrianna and finish
the process.”

Samson
nodded understanding they had a lot to do. He got on his phone and started giving orders to his Guards. Cade lay back with Adrianna, stroking
her hair and back until they arrived at the halfway point then he would finish
the drive to Ashland.

Cade
gently woke up Adrianna, telling her they were only a few minutes away from the
rest area. She would need to get
her clothes on before they arrived. Adrianna looked up with sleepy eyes at Cade smiling in her shy way. Cade loved that look. She had such a big heart and it showed
even in her smile. Adrianna started
putting on her clothes stretching as she did it.

“Baby
girl, if you stretch like that again, showing me your beautiful body, then
those clothes will be coming back off,” Cade said as he watched her with a
wolfish grin.

The Guard
and Protectors had already cleared the area before Adrianna and the others
arrived at the rest stop. Making
her way over to the Supreme Alpha, Selena asked how she was doing. They went to the bathroom together with
Adrianna telling Selena about her mates. Selena advised Adrianna that she had another vision that confused her
but she needed to sit down and tell her about it. Selena was hoping Adrianna or her mates
could give her some type of insight about it.

Mace and
Damen came to sit at the picnic table with Selena and Adrianna while Cade and
Samson talked to their people. “What is it Selena?” They
heard Adrianna ask.

“Well, the
vision starts out hazy with it raining outside. I see Adrianna floating in a field where
purple, red, yellow, and orange flowers are growing. It was beautiful. I see five wolves surrounding you as you
float above the flowers. I could
feel the evil in the wolves, like they wanted to kill you, but they continue to
watch you until I see the wolves look back at something and bow as if they were
waiting for their Master. I could
feel the hate and misery in the air, but I couldn’t see who was coming up
behind them. They continued to look
down waiting for someone. Then I
woke up. Somebody is shielding his
or her identity from me. Whoever it
is seems familiar to me, I just couldn’t see who it was. Do you know the place I saw?”

“That’s
Seige Fields, Selena. I would go
there almost every day and lay in the wild flowers. It’s a special place. It holds a lot of magic there, or at
least that was what my mother told me.” Adrianna leaned over and whispered into Selena’s ear. “I felt at home there, like the flowers
and trees were talking to me. I’m
afraid to tell you this because I don’t want you laughing at me or think I’m
crazy, but I would talk to the flowers and trees. I could feel them talking to me. Does that sound strange to you?”
