LOGINWe break away, and I gaze into those gorgeous blue eyes that burn only for me. “I love you, Milena La Croix, with everything I am.”I smile as I hold my hand out and feel Xander place the gun in my hand, still smiling at Zion before I look upwards. A little something I planned.One shot. One chance
~ MILENA ~His eyes now flick to me, and those words take me by surprise. I hate how it shows on my face, and it takes me a second to school my emotions.“Yeah, he isn’t, and my brother and mentor are also not here. No big deal.” But the moment the words leave my lips, I realise it is a big deal; it
~ MILENA ~It’s been a few weeks since it all went down, and after the cacophony of delicious chaos, it was followed by serenity. A peace like I have never experienced before.The high officials of the government were notified of the situation, and things were brought under control. Many Arkan hunte
We both turn as that voice cuts through the room, not realising where he had come from.“Fuck,” Adriana mutters before static erupts, and she’s cut off. I raise my gun as Raze smirks. His smile is far too wide for someone who is about to die.“You made it,” he says, his voice echoing in here. “You a

“Excuse me, sir, she’ll be free to go tomorrow. But she will need to take some blood thinners and some pain relief tablets for the next two weeks.”I nod. I didn’t tell them I didn’t know her… after all, my questions are pending and she has the answers.This was not how I was expecting my night to e
~ ZION ~Not this time.I raise my gun, pressing it to her forehead roughly. She stumbles backwards trying to put space between us, but with her injured leg she’s not as slick and I almost reach out to steady her, then remind myself who she is.She is one of them.And she’s here for a reason.Do the
