“It’s a crowded venue. If something were to happen, innocent people could get hurt.”Zade tilts his head as he looks ahead, looking almost bored. “Fine. Plan A, Plan B, I’ll keep that in mind… but if I decide that they aren’t ideal, I will go to plan C.”“We don’t have a plan C,” Zaia says.“Yeah, b
VALERIE.The moment I peek out, I realise that outside it is teeming with men in uniform, with weapons in their hands. Why would they call in the army? When we did nothing wrong? You don’t need the military to deal with two werewolves – well, maybe you would if they are powerful, but this all feels
“Well, the likes of you don’t deserve to live amongst us, anyway. You should have been long dead Valerie Scott,” the man sneers. “You did something to one of our friends when he paid you a visit, didn’t you?” One of the men sneers as he steps forward.My anger bubbles inside of me, wondering if some
ZADE.The moment I know Valerie has gotten out of this hall, I finish off the men who are attacking me. I was only holding off so she would get the chance to leave.I pull out one of the small daggers I had hidden and race towards Cassian; he ducks as he fires a few shots. I dodge them, jumping to t
“Stand down, there is nothing the Arkan will get from this!” I shout coldly as I hear them release something in the air just as I’m hit with something from behind. I double over as my vision blurs slightly.The man continues to spray it around, and I don’t inhale as I decide to play along and stagge
ZADE.I see the nurse break away as if trying to get a signal on her phone as she whispers, “We need help. This is wrong!” She then seems to realise now is not the time and backs away.When Timon gives the order to open fire, time seems to slow…I see the determination, honour and confidence in the
VALERIE.It had been a long night. We’re gathered back at our house but none of us could rest, although it is past two in the morning.The reports and news channels are going crazy, but I am glad Zade did what he did, even if Atticus and Sebastian aren’t happy with it. Zaia’s torn, but ultimately ev
“I told you to leave it to me,” Zade says as he walks over to me, making my eyes fall on that ripped body. And fuck do I want him. I have no idea why I feel so horny, I’m not sure if it’s the post-fight adrenaline, the relief that we’re all ok and made it out alive or just the happiness that it’s ov
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
