“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
Fuck, she’s safe. I press my face into her hair, trying to calm myself. She could have fucking died. “I’m ok…” she breathes, “but you’re not!” I close my eyes, inhaling the scent of her hair, the mix of her natural scents and her shampoo calming the blood thirst. “We need to get out of here. We
ZADE. “I’m so sorry I got you dragged into this.” “Did you rent this property in your name?” I ask. She shakes her head. “I’m trespassing… It was empty. I was just crashing here as I had nowhere else I could go.” Adriana’s saying guiltily as she tries to walk, but she’s in a pretty bad state. “W
“We got this,” I say, although I know things are pretty complicated right now. She nods and I open the front passenger door for Valerie. ‘I shouldn’t have brought you here… I’m sorry.’ I say, gripping the side of her face before she gets in. She shakes her head. ‘No, I’m glad I was there,’ she says
VALERIE. We reach home and the first thing Zade does is check the area and the house before he helps me inside first, refusing to let me walk as the blood has leaked from the bandage. “You need to tend to yourself first.” “I’ll be fine. Adriana’s fallen unconscious again. I think I need to check h
These feelings, this passion, relief, fear, love. It’s his, and it’s mine. I kiss him hungrily as I feel him position his cock at my entrance and I moan against his lips. ‘Fuck, Zade…’ I breathe as he rubs his head against my clit. It’s wet with pre-cum and it only heightens how good this feels, e
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
