“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 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
