“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.
VALERIE. I stretch, moaning slightly as I take all the kinks out of my body and yawn softly. I’ve definitely slept for ages because I can feel it. I snuggle back into the sheets, yawning again. Mm, these sheets smell so good… My eyes snap open as I realise exactly whose scent this is. Zade! Las
His muscles ripple and my gaze flicks to them. So, I am having an effect on you… I resist a smirk as my gaze snaps up to his. Reluctantly, I remove my fingers, very aware that he was not wearing any boxers underneath. I tug on the string, undoing the knot before I pause, tilting my head. “I change
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
