“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
“Stand down, there is nothing the Arkan will get from this!” I shout coldly as I hear them release something in the air just as I’m hit with something from behind. I double over as my vision blurs slightly.The man continues to spray it around, and I don’t inhale as I decide to play along and stagge
ZADE.I see the nurse break away as if trying to get a signal on her phone as she whispers, “We need help. This is wrong!” She then seems to realise now is not the time and backs away.When Timon gives the order to open fire, time seems to slow…I see the determination, honour and confidence in the
VALERIE.It had been a long night. We’re gathered back at our house but none of us could rest, although it is past two in the morning.The reports and news channels are going crazy, but I am glad Zade did what he did, even if Atticus and Sebastian aren’t happy with it. Zaia’s torn, but ultimately ev
“I told you to leave it to me,” Zade says as he walks over to me, making my eyes fall on that ripped body. And fuck do I want him. I have no idea why I feel so horny, I’m not sure if it’s the post-fight adrenaline, the relief that we’re all ok and made it out alive or just the happiness that it’s ov
ZADE.The wind whistles in my ears as I speed up, swerving around trees and jumping over upturned tree trunks. The leaves rustle above us and the moon shines through the trees.She’s gotten better, way better. She’s not holding herself back as she has always done. She’s nimble on her feet and she’s
“Oh, fuck…” she whimpers.She’s really tight. Fuck, it feels good.“Relax…” I whisper huskily, parting her legs further as I run my tongue along her neck and claim her lips in a deep kiss. She nods as she kisses me back and I keep moving my finger slowly until I penetrate her, she lets out a satisfi
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
