Gaultier snarls at me, and I smirk. “This is the path you chose. Are you ready for it, Gaultier?” I ask but my target isn’t him… I plan to take out Gerard first… Gaultier doesn’t need to know that, not yet anyway. I pull the trigger, my eyes blazing as I force apart Gaultier’s barrier, allowing th
SEBASTIAN. Gaultier and I circle one another, both of us ready to kill. Two predators, two Alphas, and only one can be the victor. He spares a fleeting glance at Gerard’s fallen body. ‘Why did you let her do that? He was doing all of this for a better world! A better place for us all!’ he snarls
As much as those words sting, he’s doing it on purpose, playing mind games to guilt trip me. He feels nothing… but he’s trying to manipulate me. Once again, it shows that he is far too gone to save. ‘Shame that isn’t the way we were born to be. We grew up living two very different lifestyles… and
VALERIE. “We need to go to Jai!” I cry hearing the feedback coming through the headpiece as I cough, my lungs filled with smoke. I’m scared Jai is going up against Zade single-handedly when Alpha Hugh is struggling! He’s too powerful, they’re saying after Sebastian and Zaia he’s the next most powe
Melanie was probably unable to say his name… but that was something both Zaia and I had joked about when Sebastian and she had first met… Daniel was always around. Melanie was giving us a huge hint, but we never realised because we had only ever said it once or twice! “Stand down, Daniel, or I wil
ZAIA. Rage, rage like I’ve never felt before, burns through me, and it is tearing through every particle of my body. He killed Jai! He chuckles sardonically as he runs his fingers through his hair as if he has no care for what he has done, nor any remorse. ‘Well, well, well, the pregnant Sublime
We’ve lost Jai… I don’t want to believe it… My eyes sting with tears as I glare at Zade, who is watching me with a smirk that doesn’t reach his eyes. ‘Do you feel it? The pain of everything being taken from you? Welcome to my life.’ Zade says breathlessly, as he rises to his feet. For a split sec
ZAIA. Valerie freezes as she lands on the ground, backing up as Zion’s voice fills the sky. This isn’t a place I want him, where the dead are all around. I’m happy Aran has Sia’s head against his shoulder, but clearly Zion didn’t comply. “Stop, Mommy! Stop, Daddy! Stop everybody, don’t you get it
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
