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
“You’re getting braver, little mate…” he remarks, his arm bent under his head. “Of course I am.” I smile at him before I turn my back to him and settle down on the pillow. Despite leaving some place between us, I feel nervous. My heart thudding as I feel him shift position, moving a little closer.
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
~ ZION ~Her eyes widen with surprise, but like always there is no fear in them. Her gaze dips to my lips, and she runs her tongue along her own distractedly.“How terrifying,” she taunts in a breathless whisper. I clench my jaw, my eyes glimmering as we glare at one another. The urge to pin her aga
“Not for long then,” I reply before I return to the bedroom exhausted and drop onto the bed. I can hear the two brothers talking but it’s muffled, Zion’s voice a simple hum in comparison to his brothers.Zion doesn’t have another woman.I smirk at that as I sit up. That’s one I won’t pass up the cha
~ MILENA ~The man looks over at me and I’m staring into violet eyes; so unique… He doesn’t look like Zion, who has a sharper jaw, but he’s handsome. I’ll give him that. “She’s not what I was expecting. She’s taller than I imagined too,” he remarks.“I didn’t realise I stepped out to be assessed,” I
I’m placed on the bed and I can feel him watching me, his fingers combing my hair off my face. Then he sighs quietly and I hear him move away.“I purchased some food from Drake’s Chicken Place. It was poisoned, get to the bottom of it for me.” His voice is icy as he speaks through the phone.I can’t
~ MILENA ~Zion looks at me sharply, then lifts me up and rushes me to the bathroom. My body is beginning to burn up, the pain inside my stomach spreading. He places me down by the toilet and crouches down beside me.“Open up,” he commands, gripping my jaw and slipping two fingers inside my mouth. I
Because I was fucking afraid I’d lose you.“You were a good fuck,” I say instead.Her eyes darken with pure rage and she manages to wrench free. Her hand comes up ready to strike, but I catch it, pinning it between our chests.“Easy there. I thought you wanted the truth,” I whisper. I shouldn’t be h
