I frown. I don’t think it’s the rejection alone. I have seen my results and even sent them to Valerie. She’s surprised that my health hasn’t improved despite it being a while now. There’s something wrong with me and although I haven’t told Mom, my health is deteriorating further. I rub my stomach
Everything I do somehow reminds me of him, but I am certain he has forgotten me, though, happily living his life with Annalise. The setting sun looks blood red, making the apple look even more vibrant. I bite into it when a shadow falls over me. My eyes flash, thinking how didn’t I notice him app
SEBASTIAN. “Get out! Get her out of here, before I have her thrown from the pack!” Mom’s shrieks make me flinch as I slam my foot on the brakes of my car, pulling up outside of the mansion. I get out only to see two suitcases tossed on the ground and a sobbing Annalise standing there as Mom blocks
“The name of the Alpha family of Dark Hollow Falls Pack. A name that not only the world recognises us by, but a name that is associated with our reputation, our traditions and our ethics…” There’s a dangerous edge to his voice. His back is still to me, yet the dark energy that swirls around him is
“Seb I’m so scared. Please stay with me tonight,” she begs, tears splashing down her face. I frown, glancing out at the night sky through the small window that stands open. “Annalise-” “Seb… Why don’t you call me Anna anymore?” She whispers when I slowly untangle her arms from around my neck. “T
SEBASTIAN. A loud knocking on the door makes me jerk up. The incessant pounding in my head makes me flinch, the hammering sound of the knocking only making it worse. “Stop it.” I growl as the door is thrown open to reveal a very cheery and energetic Jai. Why the fuck are we friends? “Rise and sh
That’s when things got darker and the beginning of my worries started. “Sebastian?” I look up to see Jai’s eyes filled with concern. “You spaced.” “Sorry, I was thinking…” A tense silence falls between us, and he looks at me. “I am your friend before I am your Beta Sebastian. If something is
ZAIA. New Year’s Eve is upon us, and I am rushing around helping with setting up the banquet hall. Atticus’s mother fell ill with the cold a few days ago and since I was helping Mrs Watson with the flower arrangements I offered to help with the event organising. I wish I didn’t, because I didn’t
“Right, but really, do you think I’m looking for a way to kill you? I’m trying to get answers here,” she snaps. “Why can’t you understand that?”“Because you tried to kill me, remember?”“Because you killed my brother. You knew who he was and yet carried on with this pretend relationship. You used m
~ 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 aga
“Not for long then,” I reply before I return to the bedroom exhausted and drop onto the bed. I can hear the two brothers talking but it’s muffled, Zion’s voice a simple hum in comparison to his brothers.Zion doesn’t have another woman.I smirk at that as I sit up. That’s one I won’t pass up the cha
~ MILENA ~The man looks over at me and I’m staring into violet eyes; so unique… He doesn’t look like Zion, who has a sharper jaw, but he’s handsome. I’ll give him that. “She’s not what I was expecting. She’s taller than I imagined too,” he remarks.“I didn’t realise I stepped out to be assessed,” I
I’m placed on the bed and I can feel him watching me, his fingers combing my hair off my face. Then he sighs quietly and I hear him move away.“I purchased some food from Drake’s Chicken Place. It was poisoned, get to the bottom of it for me.” His voice is icy as he speaks through the phone.I can’t
~ MILENA ~Zion looks at me sharply, then lifts me up and rushes me to the bathroom. My body is beginning to burn up, the pain inside my stomach spreading. He places me down by the toilet and crouches down beside me.“Open up,” he commands, gripping my jaw and slipping two fingers inside my mouth. I
Because I was fucking afraid I’d lose you.“You were a good fuck,” I say instead.Her eyes darken with pure rage and she manages to wrench free. Her hand comes up ready to strike, but I catch it, pinning it between our chests.“Easy there. I thought you wanted the truth,” I whisper. I shouldn’t be h
~ ZION ~I enter the apartment as the men standing guard lower their heads in respect.“You’re dismissed for the night.”“Yes, boss. Will you be fine?”“Without a doubt.” I shut the door, locking it and place the food bags on the dining table. I can’t hear anything from the bedroom, but I’m not worr
“So where is she now?” Xander asks, and I glance at him.“Under my watch, until I get an answer regarding that attack,” I answer quietly as a woman from the stage crawls to the edge, giving Xander an up-close view of her breasts. He leans forward, placing a few hundred-dollar bills in her between he
