Everyone is to shift and prepare to shift. We strengthen our youth from a young age. Running, sports, self-defence, we start with these, and we teach them in a way that when we come of age, we will shift.” The meeting with the high members of the staff has commenced, and two hours have already pass
ZAIA. “What’s wrong?” I ask, concerned. The meeting has ended, and we had just gotten home. I immediately called Dad in the car but he had not picked up, making me extremely worried. Sebastian had told me to remain calm, and I was relieved when he had rang back a few moments ago. “Calm down, Zaia
“Really? What did he say?” Jai asks. “Let’s discuss that when you return,” Sebastian says. I nod “Alright then, let’s head out now, it’s almost time.” I say, glancing at my watch. “Take care of yourself,” Sebastian says. I nod as he bends down, kissing my cheek fleetingly before he steps back. O
A display of power that although I may be cordial, I am still very much an Alpha who will not tolerate disrespect or betrayal. “Of course, I understand,” he replies. We walk in silence for several minutes and even I realise they are taking detours and backtracking to confuse us. But I have not los
ZAIA. I watch as Olivan rushes towards the window. The taste of betrayal stings strongly. Jai growls as Atticus launches himself at Olivan who kicks him off, knocking the wind from him, and making Atticus inhale the gas. “Atticus!” I shout as Olivan pulls out a gun, but it’s knocked from his hold
Atticus has now shifted and he’s attacking the wolves whilst Jai is still in human form, gun in hand. I know he can shift, but it’s obvious he has more confidence in his human form. Whatever works for him. Where are you? I sniff the air, picking up the smell of his blood. You’re mine. I follow
VALERIE. “Why didn’t you go with them?” I ask Sebastian. He has been sitting on the sofa, on edge the entire time, a deep frown on his face and his aura is overwhelming. Even the children kept their distance from him and so I had taken them upstairs quickly. Although I myself have been channellin
“What do you mean by that? You know I can’t hide anything from Zaia, I will tell her!” I exclaim as he stands up and I stand up myself, blocking his path as I push him back, but he doesn’t even budge. “I mean what I said, If you don’t do as I say, it will only hurt Zaia. So keep this between us bec
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’
