SEBASTIAN. There’s sadness and regret in her eyes before she looks down, taking her phone back from me. There’s no way to explain the pain in my chest. Ashbane or not, I fucked it all up. I should have been there when she was pregnant and going through heartbreak when she was poisoned, when she
I keep hurting you. Slowly I slip my hands under her, ever so slowly, ready to move her to bed, when her eyes fly open. She slams me back onto the floor. My head hits the corner of the wall, sending pain rushing through my head. She then pins me to the ground straddling me, one hand tight around
I get up on my own and only then do I realise I really feel fucking bad. “Fuck.” I stagger to the bed and I’m about to lie down when she quickly puts the pillow down for me. “Here’s some water from last night. Drink it if you need to.” She says placing the bottle down in the covered bag that cont
ZAIA. “Zaia, is everything ok?” I look up at Mom from where I’m slicing the potatoes for the evening meal. “Of course, why do you ask?” I smile. Mom looks concerned from where she’s braiding Sia’s hair at the kitchen table. “You don’t cook unless you have a lot on your mind.” She says with a kn
I’m just waiting for the day that they ask about their father… ----- “What is the meaning of this, Zaia?” Dad asks. We’re in my new office, one floor up, at the Toussaint Headquarters, and he has just placed a file down in front of me. I glance up at him curiously before looking down at the first
“Hmm… like I said, I’m not interested,” I say quietly, staring at Atticus’s picture. Remembering the way he had made out that we were together back then. The way he had said the kids were his… those red flags I had forgotten about now itch at my mind. He did things when I didn’t ask him to… “Fathe
ZAIA. “I love this place,” Atticus says as he sits back as the waitress walks away after taking our orders. We are in a dimly lit, stunning restaurant that serves a variety of cuisines; the booths are covered with lush green velvet and the woodwork is all a deep mahogany. Chandeliers hang above ea
My heart is racing as I watch him, I hear the quickening of his heartbeat, the way he swallows but not once does his facial expression change, but the signs are there… he knows… “He told you to tell me that Valerie was attacked and is in a coma, and to come visit her… correct?” I ask, saying these
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
