Thank you for reading!
~ MILENA ~The moment he’s out of the room, I rip the cannula from my hand and rush to the bathroom, hitting my knee as I drop to the ground by the toilet and throw up, emptying my stomach. I feel sick from what he told me.He said that the Arkan… that they – I wretch again, but this time only a bit of water comes up.I let out a groan as I drop to the ground, leaning against the wall beside the toilet as I try not to let emotions consume me.Are we really monsters?No…No, please…Staggering to my feet, I flush the toilet and rinse my mouth and stare at my reflection, my fingers gripping the sink basin with full force as I glare at the woman staring back at me.I want to deny it all, but I have always been one to analyse things. How many reports or information did I really have about the Arkan? How do I really know what’s going on?Obey orders and don’t ask questions.That is our motto.Why not, though? Why can’t we ask questions? Why don’t we ask questions?Because that’s what we’re
~ MILENA ~I stare at him for what feels like hours, but it’s barely a few seconds as I try to digest his words. It’s already too much.First, when I heard him say that we were mates, my mind was spinning, but my body had felt so lethargic I couldn’t react despite how shocked I was. I know what mates are; I know what they mean to werewolves and the importance of it, but never in a million years would I have thought that I would be mated to a werewolf.Me – an Arkan hunter, mated to an alpha male?Life really does play sadistic tricks on us.And now this, what is he even trying to say! That he killed him to keep his cover? What cover! That he changed sides? I smell bullshit and I’m not going to believe a word of this crap!“Lies,” I snarl, sounding more animal than human, if I do say so myself; my anger is like a blade, cutting into the man in front of me.He shakes his head. “No, it isn’t a lie. Just hear me out.”“Keep talking. I’m listening.” I cross my arms, my heart thumping as I t
~ ZION ~“She’ll be okay; she’s just pushed her body too much,” Aunty Valerie says, patting my shoulder as she smiles down at me.“Thanks,” I reply. The beeping of the machines is loud in the otherwise quiet room. Aunty Valerie leaves the room, and I place my head in my hands.The car chase replays in my mind, and I look at the woman in bed. She was incredible, manoeuvring a car at that speed whilst being injured and using a gun was not something many could do. And she’s human…Human, but worthy of being on par with an alpha.I don’t know what to feel, the tension, the hate, the sex, the passion, we’re fucking chaotic together. She angers me, yet at the same time I want to fucking devour her. I'm fucking worried for her and I hate seeing her in this state. Her slender body looks too fucking fragile lying in this bed, but even then she looks breathtaking.Fuck, I love her.I love her.Despite all the shit, the anger, the hurt, the betrayal - beyond it I don’t care because I still want
~ ZION ~My fingers dip lower, brushing along her smooth pussy, drawing a soft, sexy moan from her lips. She swears breathlessly against my lips as she reaches down, freeing me from my boxers and pants.I can hear the faint sound of sirens in the distant but as reckless as it is, I don’t fucking care, not right now. They’re still a ways away, yet.Our lips don’t stop devouring the other, my body on fire, adrenaline rushing through me as I rub her pussy. She’s so fucking wet for me. She sucks in a breath as she runs her hand along my dick, making pleasure rush through me.“Oh fuck…” she breathes, stroking my thick and hard cock, her own core clenching as she tenses as she now guides me to her entrance in a rough, hurried move. “Now,” she murmurs. I remove my hand and thrust up, slamming into her tight pussy with one brutal, perfect thrust.She cries out, satisfaction and hunger clear in her voice. I grip her waist as I kiss her neck, resisting the urge to sink my teeth into her smooth s
~ 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!” Zion shouts.“I’m fine! If you’ve got a better weapon, now’s the time to use it. Blow their fucking brains out,” I yell. “And give me a gun!”Gunfire shreds the air and I duck low.“I’ve got some, but in the back. Can you hold out?”“Oh yeah,” I reply confidently, stretching my hand out for his gun. Our eyes lock for a moment, his blazing a brilliant silver, they flicker with something I don’t have time to name.“Be careful, you're human.”“I’ll be fine. You’re not scared, are you, Alpha?” I grin as I lean out and fire at the tyre of the nearest car. It skids, but I miss. “Fuck!”I duck again as they let loose another burst of rounds.“No. Just don’t die.” He’s already climbing into the back, y
~ 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 tells her she’s up for the lunch date mom wants to have with her Sia and Kaia makes me more than a little paranoid.The evening has gone by, and we will be leaving soon. I’ve just gone to do a final check on security before our departure. I didn’t want to talk to Uncle today, not about Milena.I return to the group in time to see her complimenting Mom on her beauty as they stand and talk, and I have to admit the evening went better than I expected it to.“We’ll leave soon,” I tell Milena before looking at Sia as I step back. ‘Can I have a word with you alone?’‘What is it? You can just ask me through the mind-link,’ Sia responds, her eyes fixed on Kaia, who is speaking avidly.‘Come with me,
~ 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’t want to know!“Oh, fuck off.”He grabs hold of my wrists, pinning them to his chest, his other hand still wrapped around my throat. If he wants, he could break it right here.“It’s a divine scent and only makes me want to fuck you.”Now he’s fucking messing with me.“Well, unless you want the room of wolves out there to smell that, get rid of the damn idea. We have dinner to attend. Stop acting like a fucking animal.”“I am an animal, as you love to remind me, so I really wouldn’t care if they did. Sex is as old as fucking time itself.”“Well, fucking you is the last thing I’d do, even if it’s a live-or-die situation.”He chuckles as he finally releases me and steps back, but not before hi
~ 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 girlfriend. Milena, my Uncle Zade Toussaint.” I introduce them, placing my hand on Milena’s waist almost protectively.Uncle’s gaze flicks to me, his face as unreadable as always. He may have softened a little over the years towards his mate, but he is still the ruthless, dangerous Alpha who doesn't care for rules if you cross him. He is the man in charge of destroying the Arkan, the one man I answer to when it comes to them.He hates them with everything he is, and I don’t blame him. His attention now returns to Milena.“She smells like one of them,” he states emotionlessly. “Funny.”His tone is anything but amused as he looks at me, his eye boring into mine. ‘I’ll talk to you later,’ he says throug
~ 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, Doctor Valerie,” I say politely.“Likewise! You know who I am. I’m happy and shocked about Zion, but honestly, I am so glad he has a girlfriend!” Valerie says as she takes my hand.“Sure sure, fun fact guys, this is the same girl he was seeing years ago. Remember when he wouldn’t admit it?” Xander whispers.I cock a brow. I never realised just how much of a tattle tale his brother is until now. Valerie and Zaia exchange looks, clearly surprised. “Oh?” Zaia says, her eyes now filling with curiosity.“Well, the fact your paths have collided once more shows you were meant to be.” Zaia smiles, and although I want to tell her it was no coincidence, I don’t.“Yes, I guess life had its reasons.” Like hi
