Thankyou for reading, :( Don't forget to use your gems before they expire on any book you love. ♡ Now I shall go cry in the corner... this one hurt.
VALERIE. “We need to go to Jai!” I cry hearing the feedback coming through the headpiece as I cough, my lungs filled with smoke. I’m scared Jai is going up against Zade single-handedly when Alpha Hugh is struggling! He’s too powerful, they’re saying after Sebastian and Zaia he’s the next most powe
Melanie was probably unable to say his name… but that was something both Zaia and I had joked about when Sebastian and she had first met… Daniel was always around. Melanie was giving us a huge hint, but we never realised because we had only ever said it once or twice! “Stand down, Daniel, or I wil
ZAIA. Rage, rage like I’ve never felt before, burns through me, and it is tearing through every particle of my body. He killed Jai! He chuckles sardonically as he runs his fingers through his hair as if he has no care for what he has done, nor any remorse. ‘Well, well, well, the pregnant Sublime
We’ve lost Jai… I don’t want to believe it… My eyes sting with tears as I glare at Zade, who is watching me with a smirk that doesn’t reach his eyes. ‘Do you feel it? The pain of everything being taken from you? Welcome to my life.’ Zade says breathlessly, as he rises to his feet. For a split sec
ZAIA. Valerie freezes as she lands on the ground, backing up as Zion’s voice fills the sky. This isn’t a place I want him, where the dead are all around. I’m happy Aran has Sia’s head against his shoulder, but clearly Zion didn’t comply. “Stop, Mommy! Stop, Daddy! Stop everybody, don’t you get it
SEBASTIAN. ONE MONTH LATER… “What exactly does this mean for the world and for yourself, now that your real identity is no longer hidden?” The TV host asks Zaia who is sitting on the couch opposite, her legs gracefully crossed, showing off the smooth creamy skin of her leg. She looks as breathtak
I run my fingers through my hair, watching as she counters the TV host's questions with her own. She is the perfect person for this job. With her patience, kindness and confidence, she is able to control herself even when the questions become rough. She kept going, from that day when it all ended…
ZAIA. I stare out at the passing streetlights as I make my way to the safe house, one of the few places that remained untouched after the final battle. How am I supposed to feel after living life hurdle after hurdle, heartbreak after heartbreak? It feels surreal, even with the weeks having gone by
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
