“And I’m beginning to not like you again,” Jai mutters. “Jai, I’m just trying to help.” Atticus says, a sliver of irritation in his voice. “Yeah, what I’m seeing is you getting a little too cosy the moment Seb isn’t in the picture.” Jai shoots back. “Jai!” Valerie says as Atticus stands up his ey
SEBASTIAN. Every day that passes is excruciating. From the moment I left her, turning my back on her, I have been unable to sleep knowing that I betrayed her once again. How does one recover from such pain? I know this time I won’t have another chance because no one deserves more than a second…
“And why do we have someone who is worthless?” I ask nonchalantly. “Well now, that ain’t your business, is it? We heard that someone is coming for him. I guess he wants to test your loyalty.” He smirks, almost challengingly. I look back at him, unphased. “I don’t fucking have anything to prove. He
“Do you understand what we’re saying?” “One hundred per cent,” I reply, trying to control the rage that is threatening to explode within me. (END OF FLASHBACK) And until then, I have to do as they want… They’ll be watching even if I’ll be the one with Hugh, but something tells me there’s more to
SEBASTIAN. She bursts through the door like the Goddess herself, a deep orange glow coating her vibrant auburn fur as she launches herself at me. I jump to the side as she snarls, turning and glaring at me and for a moment all I can think of is how magnificent and powerful she looks. “Zaia!” Hugh
‘Kill Hugh Toussaint. The Father’s orders.’ Gaultier’s strained voice comes. I glance at Hugh, who has just freed himself from his cuffs as he staggers to his feet. His eyes are on the gun in the corner. Grab it… ‘Get the gun!’ Gaultier snarls. I turn sharply when Zaia bites into my neck, I shake
ZAIA. I shot him. Fear is consuming me from the inside as we rush out. We have Dad now, and I can see Atticus running over to him. He’s covered in blood, but he’s fine. I jerk my head and he nods, knowing what I mean. Get Dad out. I glance around the tunnel before I run ahead, ready to lead the
Does he mean the Moon Dust? Is that how Mom knew about the triquetra… because of Grandfather? Back up is almost here and with the three points of the triquetra being here. I don’t want to let this chance slip. Focus, Zaia. “No, but if I did, I wouldn’t tell you,” I reply, hoping I sounded believa
“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
