Dad is still as he stares at her. “No. You should have told me! I could have done the right thing!” He suddenly roars as he stands up, his eyes blazing. “Could you have?! You could have died!” Dad scoffs as he backs away from Mom. What is going on? “You really are a horrible mother,” he whispe
ZAIA. The glimmering fairy lights and the lanterns twinkle in the night. The music is soft and soothing, the opposite of the storm that rages inside of me. I am still unable to fully process the information that Mom shared, and neither can Dad… Mom decided to stay home. She had originally been ext
“You need not worry, Luna. Dad knows I am capable.” I reply, taking a spoonful of my chocolate cake. She rolls her eyes, picking up her drink. “Well, as long as you are confident, what’s with the getup?” “I was trying something,” I reply simply. “Trying to look like a fool.” She mumbles under her
“Because she destroyed her sister’s house!” Dad thunders, making a tense silence fall over the gathering. Of course, people knew and have heard of what happened, but for Dad to address it himself… “He was mine first!” She retorts, her eyes flashing. I know Sebastian said it was never serious… but
ZAIA. “Well goodnight, Ms Toussaint. I am thoroughly impressed with how far you have come. Oh, and…” Alpha Robert leans forward. “I hope you are recovering well.” “Thank you, I’m fine,” I say, touching my shoulder lightly. It’s obvious no one wanted to openly mention me being shot; not wanting it
He fixes his sock and stands up, frowning deeply. “Zaia… I saw your symbol years ago, but it was obvious neither you nor your family knew what it meant and I know the Sable Triquetra needs you and we can’t let that happen.” The Sable Triquetra? What is that? “What are you going on about, Atticus?
ZAIA. My heart skips a beat as I stare at Jai, my legs refusing to move when he rushes over to me and quickly puts his arm around me to help me up faster, not wanting to hurt my arm. “Quick!” Panic fills me as I rush from the room, stumbling as the floor seems to move and bend and I close my eyes
I place a soft kiss on each of their foreheads, Mom frowns slightly and I quietly move back before I turn and tiptoe to the door. I pause, my hand on the door frame as I cast another glance back at them and smile softly. All I want is for everything to be alright so my children can have the life t
I hear footsteps and wipe my eyes furiously and take a deep breath, refusing to let him see how I feel. He steps into the room, hands in pocket, carrying an arrogance as he looks me over.“I have questions.”“You kidnapped me!” I snarl.“You’re not a kid. Sit down.”“I don’t listen to-”The next thi
~ MILENA ~The bullet pierces through his chest and I gasp, my heart shattering as I watch the blood drip down his white shirt. It hurts, so fucking much. Not that I shot him, not that I know he could have dodged it if he had moved, but it’s the shock in those bright blue eyes when he realised I sho
Staring back at me in photo after photo is none other than the man I love, the man I have lived with for nearly a year. The man who killed my brother.One and the very same.“No… NO!” I scream, kicking the photos away from me. Is this a sick joke? I jump out of bed, rush to the bathroom and manage t
~ MILENA ~My eyes open, my vision blurry. I rub my eyes. I know I’m in a bed. It feels familiar, and for a moment I wonder if I’m back at my place but… my bed isn’t this large or comfortable.I sit up and look around, my heart hammering as realisation settles in. I know why it feels so… homely.Thi
“Excuse me, sir, she’ll be free to go tomorrow. But she will need to take some blood thinners and some pain relief tablets for the next two weeks.”I nod. I didn’t tell them I didn’t know her… after all, my questions are pending and she has the answers.This was not how I was expecting my night to e
~ ZION ~Not this time.I raise my gun, pressing it to her forehead roughly. She stumbles backwards trying to put space between us, but with her injured leg she’s not as slick and I almost reach out to steady her, then remind myself who she is.She is one of them.And she’s here for a reason.Do the
My heart skips a beat.He’s always been clever, but the conviction with how he said that one sentence… as if he was completely certain. But I’m not going to admit that.I chuckle humourlessly. “And why would you think I was the one who was behind that?”“You don’t wear a seatbelt, Milena. You were w
~ MILENA ~Irritation flashes through me as the car comes ever closer. As predicted it would.I’m waiting for the moment Zion’s car that he no longer has control over dangerously drives down this one-way road, and I’ll be here, waiting to pull out in front of him.I have to time it just right. If he
“Oh god, this is a generous treat…” she murmurs as she sticks her tongue out and flicks it across the tip in a slow and tantalising manner.Pleasure shoots through me and I grip the back of her head.“Not yet,” I mutter huskily, yanking her to her feet and turning her. I push her against the wall, u
