Thankyou for reading!
ZAIA. It’s the following day. After what I learned from Aran, I was unable to face Sebastian yesterday. I didn’t want to talk to him, and after everything, I needed a moment to gather my strength. I didn’t want to go before him and break down. So, instead, I put everything into preparing for his
Tomorrow evening… I also need to meet Olivan tomorrow night… It should be okay. “Thank you,” I say simply. I give Jai a thumbs up and he gives me a nod and a double thumbs up. Mouthing ‘well done.’ I hurry down from the dais wanting to get him out of prison immediately. Reaching the doors to the
“Oh, I missed your cooking, Zaia! That is I presume you will be cooking!” “Yes, I will be,” I say, smiling softly. She was always a good mother-in-law. I can’t wait to cook for Bastien. “Alright, tell your driver to wait in the car around the bed on the left. I will come to the car, but first I
ZAIA. I look in the mirror, feeling all jittery and nervous. Two and a half hours have passed, and I am all ready. I managed to have the food ready, showered myself, dressed the children, set up the welcome home banner and balloon and finally got dressed myself. I like how I look. I think so will
“I’m so sorry I’m late, the gifts were all taken to be checked before I was allowed in and there were so many…” she says, wringing her hand at the bags that she’s just placed on the floor. “Mom, what are you doing here?” Sebastian asks, frowning slightly. “I was invited by my daughter-in-law, it’s
SEBASTIAN. The need for her is clouding my mind. I want her, want to taste every inch of her, kiss every part of her… devour her… I bite back a groan as I squeeze her ass. How is she seducing me like a siren? Every wriggle, every movement, every breathless moan that leaves her only tempts me furt
I place two chicken drumsticks on her plate, and then on my own before adding the pie, and she smiles up at me. ‘Thank you,’ she says through the mind connection. ‘Always.’ I respond. I could get used to this. She’s made all my favourites from cheese and potato pie, grilled ribs and steak, roast
SEBASTIAN. I like when my girl is horny, and when she tries to take control. I love a strong woman, and this one right here is the perfect concoction of smart, strong, and fucking sexy. We kiss roughly, passionately, hungrily. Wanting nothing more than for this moment to never fucking end. She’s
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’
I nod, smiling slightly. “Yeah, thirteen. And she has, a lot of time has gone by hasn’t it?” I agree, looking at her. Even her… she’s not that girl anymore. So much time has gone by and yet… seeing her all dressed up like this makes me picture a life we can never have.If I didn’t kill her brother.
~ ZION ~My eyes widen as I see Uncle and Milena staring one another down right after she gave me the finger, for goddess knows what reason.Fuck, I didn’t think he’d be here today. He hates these things. My stomach twists with unease as I stride across the hall.“Uncle, this is Milena, my girlfrien
