ZAIA. Agatha had to be knocked unconscious because she refused to go silently and until the cameras were all found, I did not trust her trying to alert someone on the way out, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they had already gotten wind of what had happened. Aran and I are now in Agatha’s room as h
“Do you blame me? So many people have betrayed me. I can’t rely on blind faith now, can I?” “I get that, but keep trusting in good. It’s going to get better. We’re finding the answers we need, Zaia. We will win.” “We will. I have no doubt about that,” I say with fierce confidence as I make my way
ZAIA. I’m pregnant. I stare across at Valerie, trying to digest something I thought could never happen again as Jai whistles in surprise. “You said I can never get pregnant. My body can’t handle it.” I say, my mind screaming that once again, I’m alone. Once again, I learn I’m pregnant, but he isn
“Back then, when Jai… cheated on me… it was because Agatha had put something in his drink. She was trying to cause a rift between you and Sebastian by breaking up your friends, knowing you would take my side and Sebastian would take Jai’s.” She says as Jai looks down, clearly ashamed. Because of us
SEBASTIAN. All I see is the look in her eyes as she raised the gun and shot me. I’ve lost her. She will never forgive me, and why should she? I brought this on myself… The same thoughts circle my mind, slamming me with the brutal truth of what I have done. Spinning, screaming, and shouting as t
“The cameras in your shitty pack!” Gaultier snarls about to shove me when Zade intercepts him. “Hey… man, calm the fuck down.” He warns him and I’m doing my fucking all to stop myself from bashing his fucking face in. That’s when I hear it, the extremely silent footsteps of Lawrence. He was freaki
“Well… I hope you can see that here. We have a goal that is right, the true way… And you have proven yourself, Sebastian. I think with the approaching battle, I have no doubt of what you are capable of and that you will lead our people diligently.” I listen as we walk down the endless dark tunnels
SEBASTIAN. My eyes flash and I’m fucking done with their twisted blackmail. I turn in a flash with blazing eyes, my hands slipping into their pockets where I know both men keep their guns. Cocking the trigger, I tilt my head. “I’m done listening to your fucking blackmail, the both of you. Keep at
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
