“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
His final words are a command, not an offer, and if things couldn’t get any worse, Sebastian being here is the icing on the cake! ----- “When did that arrive?” I ask as I stare at the unzipped dress bag that sits on my bed. “Not long after you left,” Mom replies, shaking her head. “He had it ord
Mom and I struggled to make myself look as different as possible. In the end, I had contoured my face heavily before applying a matt base and very pale lips. Anyone who knows me, knows I love my bold lips. We have twisted my hair into a small bun, and the aim is to make it look a lot less than it
ZAIA. “Naya!” Atticus’s voice calls, and I freeze. The name he said he’ll call me by… Oh no... I turn gracefully and look at him, smiling brightly. His brown hair is styled back, making him look a lot sharper without the tousled mess it usually is in. He’s in a dark grey suit that makes his eyes
VALERIE: I’m coming, wait in the bathroom. Goddess, that was nerve-wracking. I walk over to the sink and open the faucet, staring at my reflection. Thank God Jai came. I hope he doesn’t get into trouble… This was not how the evening was meant to go… I bite my lip, feeling my heart clench. He e
To my dear readers,Thank you so much for accompanying me on yet another journey. Some of you have been reading my books since 2021 and others have jumped on through the years. I appreciate each and every one of you.This four-part series has been a rollercoaster ride and I enjoyed writing it, today

“What’s wrong?” I ask sharply, closing the door behind me, surprised when Zaia lifts the trail of my dress so it doesn’t touch the bathroom floor. Neither of us exchanges a word as we look at Valerie, who is battling with herself. “Oh, I don’t know. Never mind. Let’s get back to our men.” She trie
ADRIANA I watch Atticus take a glass of wine and down it in one go as I walk off with Zade and can’t help but snicker. Sebastian’s kids walk over to him and I feel something oddly… I don’t know, just something when he kneels down and compliments Kaia before he smiles at the other three. He’ll mak
ATTICUS I stand up and help her up. As she takes my hand, I feel her slip another Polaroid into my hand. My eyes flash, the curiosity to see it right now as she winks at me. And I can’t resist not wanting to wait. With a swift glance around, I switch her to my other side, placing my hand on her wai
Her skin shimmers when the light hits it and draws my attention to her enticing cleavage. She’s wearing a large choker necklace, one that looks like a sexy collar and it has a large A on it, and I know it doesn't stand for Adriana but Atticus. She's wearing large earrings which match the necklace.
ATTICUS “Finally,” Sebastian says from behind me as Patrick helps me into my jacket. I smirk as I fix it, looking at my reflection. I’m wearing a sage grey suit with a white shirt that I’ve left open without a tie as she will mark me tonight, and I don’t want to make it harder for her to access. “
He smiles faintly. “You really have fallen into the Luna role so perfectly. Look at you fixing my mistakes.” I smirk. “Or being devious, you are too truthful. I’ll text Valerie,” I say, reaching for my phone. “Are you certain about this?” he asks quietly, placing a hand over mine. “I am,” I answ
ADRIANA It’s been a week since I arrived here and I already feel at home, although at times I feel a little overwhelmed by the luxuries I am given. Atticus is indeed wealthy. He’s a businessman on top of being an alpha and even with meetings, training, pack stuff to do and everything else in betwe
