Thank you for reading! Please do leave a gem if you enjoyed! Hehe
ZAIA. My heart is thumping as I sense him stand up. “Excuse me,” I say quietly, about to step away and head to the bathroom, when he grabs my wrist and spins me around and back into his arms, making me gasp. He’s naked and I’m extremely aware of the heat from his body. The feeling of his body ag
“There’s something different about you…” she muses. “Something about your face…” Oh, a mother’s intuition at work! “There isn’t anything different. I was just trying out some new makeup products. Perhaps it’s that.” I suggest smoothly. Hoping that the hickeys he left on my neck are hidden… Last
ZAIA. Mom and Dad are both silent. Bringing up a painful part of their past wasn’t my intention, but it was necessary. “Then, if your decision is made, then what do you want from me?” Dad says quietly. This is the moment, the most important part… “I need you to arrange the meeting with Sebastian
I don’t know how I will face Sebastian again! “We’re here ma’am.” The driver says, and I come out of my thoughts, glancing up at the building. He gets out, coming around to open the door for me. “Thank you,” I say as I step out and look up at the building. Floor number twelve… The sound of a mot
I haven’t used a gun in ages… but I have been trained with one. I need to know his identity! He’s too busy aiming at someone hiding behind the bench and I’m almost close enough when he suddenly freezes and turns sharply towards me. I gasp, pulling the trigger and he jumps to the side, letting out
SEBASTIAN.“Get my car ready. I’m going to head out.” I say through the phone to my driver, pausing when the news playing on the television catches my attention.“… outside the Stanton Hotel Building. The mass shooting has left nineteen confirmed dead on the scene with three in critical condition an
I’ve always hated this man to the very core. He may be her father, but he is as arrogant as Dad and always looks down on me.“My daughter is in that bed because of you!” he thunders as he crosses the room, “What do you want me to do, roll out the welcoming carpet!”“Because of me?” I ask coldly, gla
SEBASTIAN. An hour has passed, and she’s not awoken. Hugh is a jerk and what pissed me off is that he wants me to explain everything first, and I do, leaving only a little out. What I don’t mention is the fact that I contacted Zaia or anything to do with our run-in back when she had her promotion
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’
