I also want to let everyone know that my family and I are going through a very difficult time, and updates will continue to be a little less for a while. I will continue to update when I can. Thankyou for your support. ♡♡
ZADE.Valerie’s demeanour changes and she leans into me a little more, her heart thundering.‘His expression is off,’ she murmurs through the link, kissing me sensually. I wrap my hands around her, protectively kissing her back.‘I’m not surprised. There’s more to him than meets the eye and we might
Silence falls around us, but I ignore them looking ahead.It’s an oil painting, but any hand-painted picture requires one’s presence and being around something leaves a scent. I’m sure I can sniff out who it belongs to if they’re here, anyway.“We will start at fifty dollars.”No one speaks and I ra
VALERIE.Zade’s hands clamp over my ears as the shrill, ear-splitting noise feels like it will tear my head right apart. His hands take the edge off but it’s excruciating, making it hard to breathe.What about his ears!Turning, I’m about to cover his ears when he shakes his head, his eyes trained a
Well, I’m ready to do what he wanted Anthony to do. But to do that, I need to get out of this hall.Somehow.And fast.I look around, trying to assess which door to use when all exits are surrounded by queues of people panicking as more gunshots are fired.“You can put on any front you like, Owen. I
“It’s a crowded venue. If something were to happen, innocent people could get hurt.”Zade tilts his head as he looks ahead, looking almost bored. “Fine. Plan A, Plan B, I’ll keep that in mind… but if I decide that they aren’t ideal, I will go to plan C.”“We don’t have a plan C,” Zaia says.“Yeah, b
VALERIE.The moment I peek out, I realise that outside it is teeming with men in uniform, with weapons in their hands. Why would they call in the army? When we did nothing wrong? You don’t need the military to deal with two werewolves – well, maybe you would if they are powerful, but this all feels
“Well, the likes of you don’t deserve to live amongst us, anyway. You should have been long dead Valerie Scott,” the man sneers. “You did something to one of our friends when he paid you a visit, didn’t you?” One of the men sneers as he steps forward.My anger bubbles inside of me, wondering if some
ZADE.The moment I know Valerie has gotten out of this hall, I finish off the men who are attacking me. I was only holding off so she would get the chance to leave.I pull out one of the small daggers I had hidden and race towards Cassian; he ducks as he fires a few shots. I dodge them, jumping to t
“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
“Careful, Tobias,” one of the men warns.I sip my champagne. “I assure you; I am very critical of him too, but what I do know is he topped in every field in comparison to every other alpha in the state. He is known to be fair, reasonable, and strong enough to handle the pressure that leading the sup
~ MILENA ~“I know. Nice to meet you, Mrs King. I’m Milena,” I introduce myself as I offer her my hand, but she moves closer, giving me a hug.“Lovely to meet you, Milena. Call me Zaia.” She moves back and looks at Valerie. “This is my good friend and Zion’s aunty, Valerie.”“Nice to meet you, Docto
