“Want a smoke?” I ask, offering him one. He looks up with a start, clearly not having heard me approach. He glances down at the cigarette packet I’ve popped open. He looks at it as if taking a second to understand what I said before he gives me a grave smile.“Thank you… son.” He takes one and I tak
VALERIETwo Months Later…Shelby died exactly one week after her wedding day, it broke my heart knowing I could do nothing. Something as doctors we often face, we try our best, but it still doesn’t mean we can work miracles.My only solace is that she spent her last days surrounded by her loved ones
“I love you,” I say the words I don’t need to because I’m sure he can see it in my eyes.“I know, but I love you way fucking more,” he murmurs, kissing my forehead softly. I close my eyes, relishing in his touch before another bang makes him growl in irritation and he lets go of me.“They are doing
VALERIEHe cocks a brow, looking down at me. “I don’t want her to…” he sighs. “Never mind.”“Talk to me, Atticus. Help me understand why you refused her.”He shakes his head. “This place is coming along great. I like it. So Zade did most of this?”“Yep,” I respond, wishing he hadn’t shut the convers
“Oh, thanks, here’s the salad!”“Oh great, Zade brought the ice, thank you,” Zaia remarks.“And he brings the heat,” I murmur, not realising I said it out loud, making them all burst into laughter.-----It’s past midnight and everyone has left. I just made us hot drinks after showering.‘Where are
Hello my beautiful readers! Please take a moment to read this short note, as it will explain what is yet to come and may answer questions you have.Zade was the lead I never knew I needed 🥹 he came in as a villain, and left with many hearts. He has fast become one of my favourite men ♥️The next an
The Luna For MeA Novella of Atticus and AdrianaATTICUSMy name is Atticus Payne, and I am the alpha of the Whispering Mountain Pack. It is one of the strongest packs around, one that is known for its impressive and secure location. I am known for my power, strength and of course, my New Year’s Eve
Did she just tell me to shut up and called me an idiot all in the same sentence?I’m offended.I turn as the door shuts behind her, and I laugh in disbelief. Really?---I close the door to Mom’s room, trying not to fall apart. This was supposed to be a special day, one that promises a future togeth
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
