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
“But I never had another sister,” Atticus says coldly. “No, you did not. I managed to kill your parents, but it seemed they handed you both over to their trusted friends. Splitting you and your younger sister up to protect you, thwarting me back then. They were smart, I’ll give them that, and it ma
ATTICUS. It’s hard to stomach, but I also know that it isn’t a lie… Over a decade ago I once learned that my blood type didn’t match either Dad or Mom’s but when that niggling thought that perhaps Mom cheated on Dad crept into my mind, I shut the entire situation out not wanting to be the reason f
I cock a brow. “Not that I feel the need to tell you, actually it has nothing to do with you, so maybe take a hike,” I say, trying to control my annoyance. “Say that again, I’m fucking-” “Jai, come on, please quit this. We are one team guys.” Valerie says, but she still seems pale ever since she l
RED: Yeah, can’t sleep. Why are you awake? ATTICUS: I’d say thinking about you but not exactly. Mind if I come over? There’s something I wanted to talk to you about. There’s a pause. RED: Sure. Getting up, I don’t bother grabbing a shirt and leaving my room, I shut the door quietly behind me bef
ZAIA. A week has passed, and I feel… empty. The moment Atticus mentioned it, there were so many emotions that I was left to deal with. Anger, betrayal, regret, pain, guilt and sadness. My emotions became an ocean I was drowning in, struggling to stay afloat… but I let go, allowing the emotions t
I hate to admit it, but I barely trust anyone. “You should rest, and head to the safe house. Valerie has made a yummy strew. I have some work to attend to.” I say, kissing his cheek. “You’re treating me as if I’m old.” He says. I smile and shake my head. “No, just that you need to take care of y
“Afternoon Ms Toussaint.” “Afternoon Mr Payne,” I reply as I sit back. “I like it when you call me that.” He says, sauntering over to my desk as the door slowly thuds shut behind him. “Keep at that and people will think we are together.” “That’s not a bad thing.” He winks at me. I shake my head
“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
