The journey to Valerie’s apartment doesn’t take long. It’s pretty dead around this time of night. “I hope she isn’t asleep,” I remark when Jai parks up. “Na, I don’t think she will be. I only dropped her off twenty minutes or so ago.” He gets out of the car, and I follow as we glance up at her apa
SEBASTIAN. “Valerie!” I rush to her side, my heart in my throat. “FUCK!” “Val…” Jai’s voice is barely a whisper. Both of our hearts are like galloping horses, thundering loudly in my ears, but my only concern is the heartbeat of the woman before me. Please be alive. “Fuck Val… shit,” I mutter, l
I take out my phone hearing the distant shouting of the security squad and there’s not much I can do anymore. I will leave it to them. Whoever it was, is long gone. I call Jai and wait for him to pick up. “Yeah?” his strained voice comes. “How is she?” “I don’t know, she’s in the operating thea
ZAIA. Two days have passed since that night, Valerie didn’t call again and even when I tried to leave a message or call. Nothing. I guess Sebastian found out that we were in touch. It leaves a bitterness inside of me, but he’s selfish… that’s clear enough. And as much as I want to find a way to k
I’m not surprised, but I am surprised at the way he’s talking about her. “But I am not someone who goes back on their word,” he says, staring at me coldly. “I am not making you my heir, I was as good as dead to you remember?” I tilt my head but wait for him to continue. When he doesn’t, I speak.
SEBASTIAN. “I can’t believe you never told me any of this,” Jai says quietly. The sunlight is shining through the hospital window as we discuss everything. I did tell Dad what had happened, but of course, he simply blamed me for it. This pack is meant to be my responsibility, and it should be. It
I look away, guilt washing over me, and here I was, not thinking I could get any angrier at myself. She is going through so much and I've been blind to it all... Zaia poisoned… and me taking Ashbane, it isn’t a coincidence. “There’s more.” He begins hesitantly. “What is it? Tell me everything, J
SEBASTIAN. It’s pretty late in the evening when I finally head home. I had gone to Valerie’s apartment again, but there was nothing more to find other than what the squad had already learned. I took her phone from them, in hopes she’d have Zaia’s new number in there, but there is nothing. I wonde

“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
