Thank you so much for your patience, I didn't want to split this update and hence decide to hold out until I can post it as one. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it and if you did do show some love by leaving a gem or a comment! whatever you want :)
ZADE. The temptation to confront Cassian Owen lingers in my mind, just to show him that she’s mine… I’m sure one look would do the fucking job. I can be pretty reasonable, but turn your eyes on my woman… That’s where my patience fucking ends. My eyes glimmer as I turn away from the hospital. I ha
ADRIANA: Is that option to have your Doctor Luna help us, still open? Ada’s getting worse. If yes, here’s the address… I frown, glancing at the address. It’s not too far, but it does look like some sort of block of flats. Keeping my eyes on the laptop screen, I slip my phone back into my pocket. I
“Oh! Zade, this is Doctor Cassian Owen. Doctor, this is my boyfriend, Zade.” “Oh, nice to meet you, Zade,” he says, almost as if he’s something better than me and holds his hand out to me. I glance down at it before looking down at Valerie. “A little busy?” I remark, wrapping my arms around Valeri
VALERIE. We ring the doorbell of the small house that sits back from the rest of the block. The overgrown brambles cover the wall that surrounds the property, making it far more secluded than the neighbours, giving more privacy, or making it more dangerous… I’m holding my medical kit, feeling on e
Depending on what needs doing, I’m not sure how much she’ll be able to take, considering how weak she is… “You aren’t chipped. How did they know?” Zade asks as I place my medical kit down. “I don’t know. That’s why I was confident they wouldn’t know. I wanted to leave safely, just start afresh,” A
“It’s all I could find. Let me know if you need anything else,” he says, bending down and kissing my cheek. I look up, my heart skipping a beat, and nod. “Thank you.” “I’ll be back to bandage her up.” Our eyes meet before he leaves the room. “Will she be ok?” Adriana asks just when I see the bull
‘I’ll be fine. Focus on what you’re doing, Little Mate, I’ll handle the rest.’ His voice is quiet, and I feel slightly calmer after his reassurance. I return to the bed and get back to work, fishing out the fragments of the next bullet. These are strange bullets, not like any I’ve seen before. They
ZADE. There are too many of them, and they knew I was coming. This was a cleverly thought-out plan, one that even I failed to see through. Rage like never before burns through me as I cut them down with no mercy. I have a few cuts and I managed to dodge the bullets, but it doesn’t matter; I welcom
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
