Did I lock it? I can’t remember, but I’m sure I did. Urgh! Sleep is still weighing me down, but I need to check the door… I touch my forehead, about to get out of bed, when suddenly someone jumps from the shadows of the room and slams me back onto the bed. I open my mouth to scream, but he clamp
A jolt of pleasure rushes through me as he runs the cold barrel of the gun along my inner thigh. There’s something wrong with me… I see his nostrils flare slightly as he looks at the deep scratches on my thighs where the attacker had grabbed me while trying to part my legs. My heart thunders as he
VALERIE. I gasp, jolting upright, my entire body drenched in sweat. My heart is palpitating wildly, and I press my fist against my chest as I scan the room once again. I’m safe. I’m alone. I’m alive… But those words aren’t calming the anxiousness inside of me. I get out of bed, last night replayi
We remain like that for several moments before he reaches behind me and switches off the ice-cold water. He pulls away, tugging free from my hold on his hoodie, clearly proof that he was allowing me to hold him like that and he grabs a towel. My heart pounds as his eyes rake over my body, making g
ZADE. It’s the middle of the night and despite the stuffy weather that would never usually bother me, tonight I am unable to fall asleep… Not that I sleep easily, anyway. The ghosts of the past do not let you sleep, the skeletons in the closets are always near, ready to reveal themselves and righ
‘A true Alpha questions all because he is born to be in charge… even if it means disobeying your superiors…’ That’s what he once said with pride. I didn’t kill Zaia Toussaint when she was pregnant, although I had found a chance, I hesitated. I couldn’t kill two innocents in the process… even if the
I hated her too, Melanie… just as much as Lawrence did. She gave me away… she cared far more for Zaia, keeping her with her, whilst giving me away with ease. I’m no Alpha… I’m not a good person… I am a killer and I’m alright with that. I hear her move and, unable to sleep, I stand up, deciding t
VALERIE. I switch the coffee machine on, staring at the little blue light as I hear the door shut, leaving me in here, alone, with a shirtless Zade. ‘Don’t cry, Little Mate, it makes me want to spill blood.’ His words run through my mind once again, rich and seductive like red wine, masking the s
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’
