Thankyou for reading, I wanted to do a double update for The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness, hopefully tonight I'm able to complete it as the kiddies are unwell. ♡
VALERIE. I switch the coffee machine on, staring at the little blue light as I hear the door shut, leaving me in here, alone, with a shirtless Zade. ‘Don’t cry, Little Mate, it makes me want to spill blood.’ His words run through my mind once again, rich and seductive like red wine, masking the s
“The third one.” “What?” “That one.” He says and I look at the movie currently ranked third. “Ah… a mystery thriller. Ok.” I say, switching it on and walking over to the sofa. I sit down, resting my elbow on the armrest, my back a little to him as I look over at the TV. Am I really watching a mo
VALERIE. An hour later, it’s over and, as he predicted, the killer was indeed Beth’s brother. The very same guy he had said it would be, but before he could say anything cocky, my phone rings and I pick it up quickly. “Zaia! How are you?” I say, not missing the way Zade stiffens. “I’m great. You
Jai’s. A flare of pain rushes through me and I’m about to rush over and snatch it from his hand when he speaks. “This is him, isn’t it? The man I killed.” My eyes flash, pain and guilt coursing through me. “Yeah, it is. Forgotten what he looks like?” I ask coldly, snatching the picture from him,
VALERIE.Driving to the hospital, I feel empty. It’s my first day working there, but since that day I haven’t spoken to Zade and it’s insane how… bleak everything feels.There’s been a few times he’s been watching me, and I spotted him, but he simply would turn and walk away.Along with his silence
“Well, I’ll see you two later. I still have two hours of my shift left,” Ronda complains, stifling a yawn.“You have fun, and I think I’m going to head home. I’ll sleep well today.” I say. “Oh and, I’ve filled out the paperwork for patient in room 2, bed C. Please make sure she’s checked up on every
I almost smile, taking out the carton to heat it up, only to find that the container is still hot. I place the bag down, tempted to go question him why he left it, but am I ready to see him again?It’s late too… but he’s obviously awake since the container is hot.Making up my mind, I quickly walk t
ZADE. Holding back was a task I have been failing at from the very first time I saw her on that battlefield. The moment I gazed into those doe-shaped eyes, even my stone heart was intrigued by my goddess-given mate. Awakened by the hope that the Goddess - whose trust in me was waning - had not for
I nod, smiling slightly. “Yeah, thirteen. And she has, a lot of time has gone by hasn’t it?” I agree, looking at her. Even her… she’s not that girl anymore. So much time has gone by and yet… seeing her all dressed up like this makes me picture a life we can never have.If I didn’t kill her brother.
~ ZION ~My eyes widen as I see Uncle and Milena staring one another down right after she gave me the finger, for goddess knows what reason.Fuck, I didn’t think he’d be here today. He hates these things. My stomach twists with unease as I stride across the hall.“Uncle, this is Milena, my girlfrien
“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
