ZAIA.My heart is pounding as his gaze flickers to my lips, and he runs his tongue along his own plush ones. I swallow hard as a dangerously sexy smirk crosses his lips.“Relax, I’m only teasing,” he whispers, letting go of my neck. My breath hitches and he gives me a wink, stepping back before he t
“Do you know how to check?” I ask, bending to look under the sink again.He looks up, our eyes meeting and I realise we’re too close…“It can’t be that hard,”“Which means no.” I counter lightly tucking my hair behind my ear, only for it to fall forward once more.“Do you think I can’t?” he asks cha
SEBASTIAN. It’s the following evening and for the first time as far back as I remember, I am enjoying Christmas time. The blizzard has gotten worse, and that just sealed the fact that we are indeed spending Christmas here. I am not going to complain, spending night and day with Zaia and not once b
Fuck, is she fine… “Hmm. Then I’m glad you’re not alone out here.” “Do you know her?” she asks curiously, now turning towards me. Her knee brushes mine and I try not to focus on it. “I’ve met her,” I say. We both know her, but I don’t plan to be the one to break that news to her. She narrows he
“Why the silence, Foxie?” I whisper, calling her something I haven’t in years. She shakes her head and looks up at me. “I was just reminiscing about our lives.” “It’s sure been a wild ride,” I reply, downing my wine as she still holds hers, barely touched. “It has, but don’t you feel that the sto
ZAIA. My heart’s pounding as I gaze into his eyes, those piercing blue that make my heart implode, his touch is driving me crazy, and his scent is like a drug, sending me onto cloud nine. His words echo like a whispered lullaby and my gaze dips to his lips. Where do we go from here… I slowly wra
Once we are done, we carry the stuff downstairs and dispose of it before returning to the lounge, where I begin placing the wrapped presents under the tree. “Weren’t the kids supposed to be asleep ages ago?” Sebastian remarks as he picks up a profiterole popping it into his mouth. I pause and turn
SEBASTIAN. This is fucking happening, this is real. I open the door to her bedroom, forcing myself to break away just long enough to make sure I’ve locked the door properly. I don’t need anything to stop me from devouring and claiming her tonight. Her touch sends rivets of fire through me, and I’
“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
