ZADE. ‘Argh! I thought I had shaken you off!’ She struggles against me, trying to break free, but I simply tighten my hold. “You would be dead by now. Again. You aren’t paying attention to your surroundings.” I say quietly. ‘I was!’ She answers as she tries to elbow me hard in the waist, but in
VALERIE. My entire body is screaming in pain and fatigue. I have never run so much in my life and according to him, he went ‘easy’ on me. Easy? Yeah, right! That was not easy! I have been on my feet in the hospital for hours on end on countless occasions, but this? This is exhaustion on another l
VALERIE. “Which is what we’re saying,” Zade counters almost mockingly as he flips the bread knife he’s holding lazily between his fingers as he’s relaxed back in his seat. “I’ll be fine,” I say. Zade looks at me for a second, almost as if observing me. “So then, go back there. Try to carry on as
ZADE. Pregnant. An odd emotion rushes through me as I stare at her. She looks uncertain, and uneasy, even as if waiting to see my reaction. She’s pregnant, meaning I have a kid on the way. Fuck. This is real, and that means the responsibilities that I now have are growing too. She’s pregnant… “
She lied. Lied about the fucking pregnancy just to get a reaction from me? There’s no child… that makes me feel fucking weird when I had just made up my mind that there will be a kid and now she’s angry at me for fucking not being ecstatic before telling me she lied. “Well, I am, I have things to
VALERIE. “Is your Dad here?” I ask Zaia, as I cuddle the little Kaia. Goddess, Zaia and Sebastian make the cutest kids. She sucks her fingers before I remove her hand from her mouth and smile at her, tapping her juicy cheeks. “He is. He’s with Shelby,” she says quietly. Of course, they’ve been
“I missed you, Aunty,” she says, hugging me. “Aww, I missed you too hun.” She smiles before looking at the tea. “I made some for Grandad and Grandma. I didn’t see Uncle Atticus or Daddy, so I didn’t ask them.” “Your Dad was dealing with Xander, and I’m not sure where Zion is,” Zaia replies. “But
ZADE. Confusion ripples through me as I look at the older man before me. Why is he here? Do I turn and walk away? There are kids present and Valerie was shouting, but she seems fine. But I still turn to her just as she walks over to me. “Zade…” “Why were you shouting?” I ask quietly as she plac
“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
