Semua Bab Reckless Hearts : Bab 11 - Bab 20

~ ZION ~Her eyes widen with surprise, but like always there is no fear in them. Her gaze dips to my lips, and she runs her tongue along her own distractedly.“How terrifying,” she taunts in a breathless whisper. I clench my jaw, my eyes glimmering as we glare at one another. The urge to pin her against the wall and kiss her senseless almost takes over, but a reminder of what she did keeps me in place. I grip her neck and lean in closer.“I’m not jealous of a mere human because I know he doesn’t make you scream the way I did.” I let go of her and turn away, picking up my shirt and walk to the bathroom. “And don’t try to leave. I have four men posted outside.”I slam the door behind me and clench my jaw. I shouldn’t have given her such a reaction, but the thought of her with someone else irritates me even if we are nothing to one another anymore.As I step under the shower, I ponder on what she was saying. She wants to work with me, and there’s no way I can trust her… but she does have

~ ZION ~“Do you want to tell me what the hell you’re doing with a human!” Dad snarls, trying to control his anger. “This is something I’d expect from Xander, not you.”“I’m not a child that you need to tell off, Dad. I am capable of making my own decisions. You shouldn’t have come here.”“Oh really? When you clearly have a double life going?”I scoff, glancing towards the passing cars. “I already have a double life taking her out of the equation. I am already more than I want to be, just so we can survive in this world. Don’t forget that.”“Yeah, but I assure you, adding her to that mix is just trouble. You are the alpha of the pack, Zion, when are you planning on finding your mate? When are you planning on having pups?”“That is not my priority right now, as for finding my mate…” How do I tell him she is my mate? I can’t, not when I know he might let that out to Milena. “You need not worry about that,” I finish.My words only seem to anger him further. “Very well, bring her to the ba

~ 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

~ 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

~ 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
