He reaches up, picking a strand of wet hair from my face before cupping my face and kissing my forehead softly. His actions are confusing me. Why is he so calm? “When did you figure it out?” I ask him curiously. “It wasn’t hard, especially when you do the math. Somehow… I now complete the Sable T
ZAIA. I run the brush through my hair, staring distractedly at my reflection. Gerard is Sebastian’s father… I would never have made the link, even with the screaming similarity that Sebastian does look like a King. How and why? Why would they have chosen Gerard? Is it because he’s an Alpha? Or
Everyone is to shift and prepare to shift. We strengthen our youth from a young age. Running, sports, self-defence, we start with these, and we teach them in a way that when we come of age, we will shift.” The meeting with the high members of the staff has commenced, and two hours have already pass
ZAIA. “What’s wrong?” I ask, concerned. The meeting has ended, and we had just gotten home. I immediately called Dad in the car but he had not picked up, making me extremely worried. Sebastian had told me to remain calm, and I was relieved when he had rang back a few moments ago. “Calm down, Zaia
“Really? What did he say?” Jai asks. “Let’s discuss that when you return,” Sebastian says. I nod “Alright then, let’s head out now, it’s almost time.” I say, glancing at my watch. “Take care of yourself,” Sebastian says. I nod as he bends down, kissing my cheek fleetingly before he steps back. O
A display of power that although I may be cordial, I am still very much an Alpha who will not tolerate disrespect or betrayal. “Of course, I understand,” he replies. We walk in silence for several minutes and even I realise they are taking detours and backtracking to confuse us. But I have not los
ZAIA. I watch as Olivan rushes towards the window. The taste of betrayal stings strongly. Jai growls as Atticus launches himself at Olivan who kicks him off, knocking the wind from him, and making Atticus inhale the gas. “Atticus!” I shout as Olivan pulls out a gun, but it’s knocked from his hold
Atticus has now shifted and he’s attacking the wolves whilst Jai is still in human form, gun in hand. I know he can shift, but it’s obvious he has more confidence in his human form. Whatever works for him. Where are you? I sniff the air, picking up the smell of his blood. You’re mine. I follow
“Careful, Tobias,” one of the men warns.I sip my champagne. “I assure you; I am very critical of him too, but what I do know is he topped in every field in comparison to every other alpha in the state. He is known to be fair, reasonable, and strong enough to handle the pressure that leading the sup
~ MILENA ~“I know. Nice to meet you, Mrs King. I’m Milena,” I introduce myself as I offer her my hand, but she moves closer, giving me a hug.“Lovely to meet you, Milena. Call me Zaia.” She moves back and looks at Valerie. “This is my good friend and Zion’s aunty, Valerie.”“Nice to meet you, Docto
~~~ An hour later we are walking into a luxurious glamourous venue where the security is intense. Nothing went by undetected and I’m glad the broken vase piece is clay because we were checked over with metal detectors at the second stop before a third set of guards checked any bags. I’m not carryin
~ MILENA ~“So, you’re really not going to give me a weapon to carry?” I call through the door as I get into the dress he purchased for me. It’s gorgeous, a plain deep maroon with a slit down the left thigh and pools on the floor. It pushes up my breasts, and the corset is damn fucking tight. It’s a
I clench my jaw. “No. Nothing.”She snorts. “Right, so want my help or not?”“How can I trust that you won’t just fucking walk away?”“I told you why I was sent here. What would walking away get me when I learned fuck-all about you? Like really, what do you want from me, Zion?”“Something that will
~ ZION ~“Do you want to tell me what the hell you’re doing with a human!” Dad snarls, trying to control his anger. “This is something I’d expect from Xander, not you.”“I’m not a child that you need to tell off, Dad. I am capable of making my own decisions. You shouldn’t have come here.”“Oh really
He glares at his phone as it goes to the answering machine and turns his head to the men who had hurried in behind him, looking tense. It’s clear Zion may be their boss, but Sebastian King is still his goddamned father.“Call Zion and tell him to get here immediately.”“Yes, Alpha.” One of the men l
~ MILENA ~The next few days I didn’t see Zion, left alone with just a TV that allows only a few movies to play, the access to the internet was blocked on everything. The internet is non-existent.I felt suffocated, not knowing what to think. Will he agree? Because otherwise, I would love to know wh
“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
