We walk side by side and head down the winding stairs, only to spot Atticus waiting at the bottom of the stairs, pacing restlessly.“We’re not late, are we?” Valerie asks.“No, not at all,” he answers, glancing behind us before he turns and leads the way out of the front doors and takes a left, wher
“Sure, let’s fill the ignorant in on the reality they’re so fucking blind to see,” I say quietly, unable to stop myself.Want to fucking play, then let’s play.I glance back at Sebastian, my own eyes blazing, and he frowns deeply.“You’re an Alpha…” he says suddenly, making the whispering stop.I wa
VALERIE. By the time I’m done, many at the table are frowning or deep in thought. Expressions of unease, anger and even worry on their faces. Sebastian’s eyes are blazing, and his anger is barely being held back. His aura is surging around it. I guess he never knew I was almost raped. We may not a
“Gordon Santino, twenty-seven-year-old electrician, his mother is a human, his father was a werewolf. Never been part of a pack, but his DNA at a hospital appointment gave away what he was. Four weeks after being chipped, he was missing. The body was found a few weeks later and police suspected ‘No
“And the two upstairs. What’s their case?” Atticus asks, sitting back as he twists a pen in his fingers. “We discovered Adriana protecting the door to where her injured sister was in a bad state. When we got to her, she was wounded.” Atticus nods slowly, swallowing, “And she wasn’t raped, was she?
ZADE. The meeting lasted hours, but it is finally over, and a plan of action has already been put into place. Zaia will meet with the president and Sebastian has already booked a meeting with a few officials, including the head of the police in this area as well as the mayor. Atticus is planning t
“Do you have an issue with my pack members that are under this roof? If us being here makes you uncomfortable, we can go elsewhere.” I say quietly, watching Atticus intently. He tenses, his heartbeat quickening for a second before it returns to normal. Quickly, but not quick enough… That was enough
“You might not want to piss Zaia’s twin off, King. I thought she’s exhausted?” Atticus reminds him. Seems the tables have turned. Sebastian glares at him. Atticus glares back before both turn and glare at me. I resist the urge to roll my eyes and take out a cigarette. This is going to be a long fu
I hear footsteps and wipe my eyes furiously and take a deep breath, refusing to let him see how I feel. He steps into the room, hands in pocket, carrying an arrogance as he looks me over.“I have questions.”“You kidnapped me!” I snarl.“You’re not a kid. Sit down.”“I don’t listen to-”The next thi
~ MILENA ~The bullet pierces through his chest and I gasp, my heart shattering as I watch the blood drip down his white shirt. It hurts, so fucking much. Not that I shot him, not that I know he could have dodged it if he had moved, but it’s the shock in those bright blue eyes when he realised I sho
Staring back at me in photo after photo is none other than the man I love, the man I have lived with for nearly a year. The man who killed my brother.One and the very same.“No… NO!” I scream, kicking the photos away from me. Is this a sick joke? I jump out of bed, rush to the bathroom and manage t
~ MILENA ~My eyes open, my vision blurry. I rub my eyes. I know I’m in a bed. It feels familiar, and for a moment I wonder if I’m back at my place but… my bed isn’t this large or comfortable.I sit up and look around, my heart hammering as realisation settles in. I know why it feels so… homely.Thi
“Excuse me, sir, she’ll be free to go tomorrow. But she will need to take some blood thinners and some pain relief tablets for the next two weeks.”I nod. I didn’t tell them I didn’t know her… after all, my questions are pending and she has the answers.This was not how I was expecting my night to e
~ ZION ~Not this time.I raise my gun, pressing it to her forehead roughly. She stumbles backwards trying to put space between us, but with her injured leg she’s not as slick and I almost reach out to steady her, then remind myself who she is.She is one of them.And she’s here for a reason.Do the
My heart skips a beat.He’s always been clever, but the conviction with how he said that one sentence… as if he was completely certain. But I’m not going to admit that.I chuckle humourlessly. “And why would you think I was the one who was behind that?”“You don’t wear a seatbelt, Milena. You were w
~ MILENA ~Irritation flashes through me as the car comes ever closer. As predicted it would.I’m waiting for the moment Zion’s car that he no longer has control over dangerously drives down this one-way road, and I’ll be here, waiting to pull out in front of him.I have to time it just right. If he
“Oh god, this is a generous treat…” she murmurs as she sticks her tongue out and flicks it across the tip in a slow and tantalising manner.Pleasure shoots through me and I grip the back of her head.“Not yet,” I mutter huskily, yanking her to her feet and turning her. I push her against the wall, u
