“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
He cackles, sounding choked as if it’s so fucking funny he can’t breathe. “You are a joker SK, oh god you are so funny… but I am serious.” His voice drops the sick playfulness as it returns to deeper and darker. “Now. This is the final warning: Leave her alone or she will die, and you won’t be bury
SEBASTIAN. “I understand,” I say quietly. It’s not something I want, but I have to respect that this is what he wants. “Are you sure?” there’s guilt in his eyes as he stands opposite me. We are on the back patio of the packhouse. The weather is warm, but a soothing breeze rustles the grass, yet
I am truly grateful for his help and despite certain actions of his not being to my liking; I understand he was still trying to help me. Valerie never got back to me, and the only thing I got from her was one email a week later, saying Sebastian found out and she can’t stay in touch with me and she
ZAIA. THREE YEARS LATER… I lace my fingers together, resting my elbows on the sleek marble of my top-floor executive office. Scoffing as the man before me rambles on. Cocking a brow, I finally intervene. “Mr Santoni, time is precious, and I have places to be, deals to close, and money to make. So
A woman who is the image of control and composure. I’m wearing a white satin blouse that is emphasised around my breasts. I’ve gained weight there since I had the little ones. The blouse is tucked into my beige pencil skirt, that hugs my hips and waist. Zaia Toussaint, the Managing Director of Tou
ZAIA I press my foot on the brake as I wait for the security guards to unlock the large gates that leads to the entrance of our home. Once the large gates swing open, I drive through. “Good evening Madam,” the night security guard says, tipping his hat to me. “Good evening, Aaron,” I reply, slidi
“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
