Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed this update ♡
SEBASTIAN. Life really does change a lot, but one thing I learned was to always communicate, never jump to conclusions or take life-changing decisions on your own. It cost me precious years with Zaia, and it caused her so much heartache. But that was a lesson I learned too late when I had almost lo
VALERIE. Somehow, I was expecting that reaction from him. I’m not sure why, but I wasn’t expecting him to be ecstatic over the news and, in a way, I’m glad I was prepared. Being a doctor, I’ve come across a huge variety of reactions from couples, or even single mothers. Accidental pregnancies are
“Za…” I trail off when he wraps his arms around me tightly and rests his head against my shoulder, taking a deep breath. I lean back against him, placing my hand over his arms as I reach up with my other hand, placing it on his muscular bicep. “You didn’t come back,” I murmur. “I’ll always come ba
ZADE. “Survival training.” “Survival?” Valerie asks me as she rubs her arms, glancing at the dark looming forest behind me. “Yeah, this will last three or four hours. The first thing I want to work on with you is your stamina, resistance, vigilance, and observance.” She nods, although I’m sure t
“No…” she breathes. My gaze dips to her breasts and I slip my hand under her top, stroking her stomach, before moving my gun down her cheek. “Your body says otherwise,” I taunt, caressing her skin with my gun. “That was too fast. I was doing my best…” “You took a blade and poison, use them. Since
ZADE. ‘Argh! I thought I had shaken you off!’ She struggles against me, trying to break free, but I simply tighten my hold. “You would be dead by now. Again. You aren’t paying attention to your surroundings.” I say quietly. ‘I was!’ She answers as she tries to elbow me hard in the waist, but in
VALERIE. My entire body is screaming in pain and fatigue. I have never run so much in my life and according to him, he went ‘easy’ on me. Easy? Yeah, right! That was not easy! I have been on my feet in the hospital for hours on end on countless occasions, but this? This is exhaustion on another l
VALERIE. “Which is what we’re saying,” Zade counters almost mockingly as he flips the bread knife he’s holding lazily between his fingers as he’s relaxed back in his seat. “I’ll be fine,” I say. Zade looks at me for a second, almost as if observing me. “So then, go back there. Try to carry on as
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
