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

“Give us some time alone,” he murmurs to his guard. The man bows before walking away and Atticus turns his gaze on me. “Well, well, well… look what we have here? I’m appalled at your brazen behaviour, Sebastian King. When I specifically told you, you aren’t allowed anywhere near my pack, yet you s
SEBASTIAN. Sighing, I strum my fingers on the steering wheel as I drive towards Dark Hollow Falls Pack territory, mulling over everything. Handsome… Why does that feel off? Then there is the way she texts saying it’s too loud for her to talk… Zaia would move away, she’s not that person who would
