And how does Marc feel about all this?

This week, we’ll have a sneak peak at Adrian’s Eagles, but
we’ll also be examining a little of the multi-layered onion that’s Adrian

Adrian has never known love beyond his bond with his mother.
He instinctively knows how to be in a relationship, but has never felt the need
to try. Until now. From the instant their eyes met, he recognized Angela as a kindred, but the
strength of the feelings he has for Brady’s woman came as a surprise.
Sneak Peak: Adrian’s Eagles
April 25th, 2013
Fate just isn’t something you can
plan for. Sometimes, all you can do is hold on and steer toward the shallows.
I was expecting all men. My help is
only half that and I’m struggling to be careful with them and the camp.
Samantha needs time to adjust before I can pull her in openly. Angie has to be
trained, taught. The workload has increased but so have the benefits. Not one
Seer, but three!
Fate blessed me and cursed me.
Somewhere, laughter is spilling on my account, mostly because I can’t complain.
I now have what I need. Where to begin! What to push the hardest or even first?
We’re spending the next two days
here and I hope to get further in my head and with them. These women need to be
accepted and I have total faith that fate will put us in just the right place,
at just the right time.
And if one of them flinches, the
camp won’t give them a second chance.
Adrian
wasn’t entirely sure on that. It would depend on how bad the flinch was and
what it cost…
“Got a minute?”
Adrian
steadied himself against the vivid feel of her suddenly being in his head.
“Sure. What’s up?”
“I need a schedule switch.”
Instantly
alert, he closed the newest journal that now held a single entry. He had
already filled ten others since the War of 2012.
“You’re
having trouble?”
He
felt her hesitate.
“Not exactly. Kyle said you changed
shifts to mid morning when I came. Please, put them back?”
Adrian’s
mind raced. Why would she want to be awake so early? Part of proving herself?
“Mostly to avoid… the morning
sets.”
Adrian
scowled furiously. Hiding from Kenn. No, he was out of camp with Zack and his
team on a Slaver recon right now and usually had point at that time. The level
one Eagles trained on that shift. She was avoiding Brady.
“I’ll
take care of it.”
“Thanks.”
There
was a pause where he felt her need for something else but didn’t respond. If it
was important, she would ask. Without looking into those expressive eyes, he
would only be guessing at her thoughts.
Angela
let the connection open further, giving him what he wouldn’t ask for as she
moved through tents. Another view of his camp.
The
camp glowed with life through her eyes and it made Adrian’s heart fill with
pride and satisfaction. These people were happy considering all that had
happened, and obviously well cared for. Their leader was a good man.
“Thank
you.”
“It’s my honor.”
Adrian closed his eyes,
the peace she’d given him allowing for a rare extra few minutes to snooze and
think. And what did his mind consider most important right at this very moment?
The woman now on her way to give a final class to two levels of Eagles.
The woman now on her way to give a final class to two levels of Eagles.
Adrian’s bonding with Angela is
both sweet and brutal. Through total freedom and trust, he shows her a life
she’s never dreamed of, a way of living that fulfils her need to atone as much
as her sense of duty. He made her more than she’s ever been and their time
together will not be easy to forgotten. Adrian wants to fight for her but knows
she need to figure it out for herself and steps back to let her.
Determined to do the right thing,
Adrian concentrates on getting his people toward Arkansas, where a dangerous
personal reunion waits for him. Have the choices he’s made cost him a son? Even
Angela can’t be sure.
Next Week: Brady, Brady, Brady!
