“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
ZADE. I leave the house once I’ve showered, trying to get in contact with Damien again. I get on my bike, wondering if something has happened to him when he calls back. I pick up not answering just in case it’s not him and wait for him to speak first. “Boss.” He’s fine and alone. “Where have you
But it’s the expression of hope on their face that makes me wonder how I delayed it for so long. How do they hold such confidence in me when I was the coldest and most quiet of the Sable elite? “Then shall we form the pack now?” Anthony asks. “I think this is something I’d rather do in the presenc
I open my eyes, my wolf prowling within my mind. I can feel his energy dance through me, feel it chip away at the pain. An Alpha Wolf born to lead – ready to take his place… I slice my hand, thinking of what it means to be an alpha. To protect. To lead. To take responsibility. Here’s to a step
VALERIE. Sleep comes and goes as we travel towards the Whispering Mountain Pack. It’s a long drive, and we’ll be there in another three hours. Damien and Anthony stayed behind to keep an eye on things, and I did manage to check Damien’s injuries before we left. He’ll be ok with some rest. Adriana
“Oh… I’m sorry.” I wish he told me. Shelby treated me well and always made me feel welcome. “You had a lot going on, besides Miss Linette has been taking good care of her.” “Thank you, Patrick,” I reply. “We have two injured she-wolves who need medical care, preferably in their quarters. I will te
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
