Thank you for reading.
SEBASTIAN. “Valerie!” I rush to her side, my heart in my throat. “FUCK!” “Val…” Jai’s voice is barely a whisper. Both of our hearts are like galloping horses, thundering loudly in my ears, but my only concern is the heartbeat of the woman before me. Please be alive. “Fuck Val… shit,” I mutter, l
I take out my phone hearing the distant shouting of the security squad and there’s not much I can do anymore. I will leave it to them. Whoever it was, is long gone. I call Jai and wait for him to pick up. “Yeah?” his strained voice comes. “How is she?” “I don’t know, she’s in the operating thea
ZAIA. Two days have passed since that night, Valerie didn’t call again and even when I tried to leave a message or call. Nothing. I guess Sebastian found out that we were in touch. It leaves a bitterness inside of me, but he’s selfish… that’s clear enough. And as much as I want to find a way to k
I’m not surprised, but I am surprised at the way he’s talking about her. “But I am not someone who goes back on their word,” he says, staring at me coldly. “I am not making you my heir, I was as good as dead to you remember?” I tilt my head but wait for him to continue. When he doesn’t, I speak.
SEBASTIAN. “I can’t believe you never told me any of this,” Jai says quietly. The sunlight is shining through the hospital window as we discuss everything. I did tell Dad what had happened, but of course, he simply blamed me for it. This pack is meant to be my responsibility, and it should be. It
I look away, guilt washing over me, and here I was, not thinking I could get any angrier at myself. She is going through so much and I've been blind to it all... Zaia poisoned… and me taking Ashbane, it isn’t a coincidence. “There’s more.” He begins hesitantly. “What is it? Tell me everything, J
SEBASTIAN. It’s pretty late in the evening when I finally head home. I had gone to Valerie’s apartment again, but there was nothing more to find other than what the squad had already learned. I took her phone from them, in hopes she’d have Zaia’s new number in there, but there is nothing. I wonde
“Give us some time alone,” he murmurs to his guard. The man bows before walking away and Atticus turns his gaze on me. “Well, well, well… look what we have here? I’m appalled at your brazen behaviour, Sebastian King. When I specifically told you, you aren’t allowed anywhere near my pack, yet you s
We step into the lift, the silence stretching loud between us. I look over at her. Her lipstick is smudged, her lip cut, she has bruises and cuts all over her, and her curly hair tumbling in front of her face. Somehow, she looks regal… despite the pain she’s in, she’s holding up, the fire in her eye
~ ZION ~My fingers dip lower, brushing along her smooth pussy, drawing a soft, sexy moan from her lips. She swears breathlessly against my lips as she reaches down, freeing me from my boxers and pants.I can hear the faint sound of sirens in the distant but as reckless as it is, I don’t fucking car
I slam the brakes.We’re both launched forward and Zion’s arm flies out, catching me before I break my nose on the wheel.The SUV shoots past us and propels straight over the edge.It flips, hitting the rock face below, and erupts in a fireball that lights up the cliff side. The ground trembles slig
~ MILENA ~“Oh, you did not, you fucking assholes!” I snarl, rage tearing through me. The pain in my forearm barely registers as I wrench the wheel to the side, slamming our car into the one on the left. I time it perfectly. Their tyres catch the curb and the vehicle lurches violently.“Milena!” Zio
“Your dad gives me a reaction, and he’s a tad more gullible than you, so it’s fun to mess with him.” Her impish smile reminds me of Xander, and I shake my head.“I’m glad this isn’t real then. You and Xander would be the death of him.”“Yeah, we’ll keep the pretence going though. If the Arkan had an
It’s crazy how I actually would trust her around them, even if she is one of the Arkan. She has some compassion when it comes to kids… looking at her now as she talks to Kaia about something it’s almost hard to imagine she’s a killer. Almost.The image of her cold eyes as she raised a gun and pulled
~ ZION ~Milena. She has a way of keeping me on edge when nothing else or no one else has that effect on me; I don’t know what she’ll do next; it was one of the things I like about her, but right now I’m not enjoying it. Her sly smiles that tell me she’s up to something and the way she hugs Mom and
Kaia, on the other hand, is confident and bubbly. That’s the only way to describe the twenty-one-year-old redhead with the huge smile and bright blue eyes like Zion’s.His uncle is a few tables down, but occasionally I feel the prickling sensation at the back of my neck of someone watching me, and I
~ MILENA ~“Smell me?” I repeat, my cheeks involuntarily flush as I shove him back, only to meet hard fucking muscle.“Your arousal, to be precise.” He smirks, baring those teeth in a dangerous smile.Oh, hell no.I know what werewolves are capable of, but right now I don’t need to hear that. I don’
