“Thanks,” I whisper, smiling at it before I quickly get out of bed and pull on my slippers. I’m in an oversized nightshirt, but I don’t have time to change. I grab my keys and phone and sneak into the hall, crossing the empty tiled hall to Zade’s door. It feels strange using this side, but I don’t
VALERIE. I gasp, my head snapping up only to find myself met with complete darkness. It takes me a few seconds to realise where I am, and the pulled muscle in my neck is proof enough that I’ve been sleeping like this for a while. My gaze snaps to the bag next to me, but it’s still there, with the
The chip! He’s trying to get it out. My heart thunders, but I don’t move as I stare up at him and he slowly removes his hand from my mouth. He pauses, and his eyes snap up, his good eye burning into mine. “It’s the only way,” he whispers, tossing the dagger onto the bed and probing into my arm wi
“Nothing.” I hear a very quiet whisper from them before they begin to move away. “How did she disappear? Don’t lower your guard.” One man mutters extremely quietly. Go… My heart is still thumping as I lay there in Zade’s arms, which is only making me crazier. His sweatpants are thin, and I can f
VALERIE. His eyes widen ever so slightly before he pulls free from my hold, turning away. “I’m done with your games. Now get the fuck out of here and go back to your pack,” he says coldly. “I’m not going anywhere, and you can’t tell me to.” I counter quietly, my heart racing. “Then you’re going
VALERIE. We kiss like there’s no tomorrow, and it’s a moment I don’t ever want to end. Our pounding hearts are a melody to the emotion-powered moment between us. But it’s cut short when I hear the dip in his heartbeat, the tension in his body in his moment of pain. He’s injured! I grip his should
Ok… here I go… I frown slightly, creating a thin long cut along the bruise, thin but deep. Instantly grabbing another towel as blood begins seeping out. I place the towel down and I use my fingers to push the skin apart, my eyes blazing as I try to find the source that’s stopping him from healing.
VALERIE. I glance up at him, but he’s still out of it. Taking a deep breath, I continue. Another painful thirty or forty minutes later, I’m done. I think I’ve got them all, but I will have him get a scan just to be sure, for now, this will help him immensely. I sit back after glueing the deep cut
“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
