Thank you for reading! Did you enjoy the first chapter?
ADRIANA“Fuck!” I groan as I’m thrown through the trees. Branches snap as I slam into them, wincing as I am unable to regain my balance and go barrelling downwards through them and hit the ground forty feet below, the breath knocked from me. “Fuck…”“Impressive,” Zade says as he drops onto the groun
I run the tap, leaning over the bath for a second. I know why I pushed Zade to go harder on me… Ada.I close my eyes, Valerie’s words from a week ago ringing in my mind.“I’m sorry, Adriana… I’ve tried everything. Would you like us to bring her here? It would be good for you to have some time togeth
ATTICUSI try not to stare shamelessly at her sexy peach before she straightens and turns towards me, her mouth is full as she seems to have bitten off more than she can chew, and I realise it’s the first time I’ve seen her look so… uncomposed and really cute. Her cheeks are puffed up thanks to the
Stepping back into the lounge, I sit down on the sofa facing the glass doors that look out onto the backyard of the packhouse and place my feet on the table, crossing them at the ankle before I pick up my laptop and return to work.Frowning, I see my usual screen gone. Instead, there’s a black windo
ADRIANAMy eyes widen involuntarily at his sheer audacity. I didn’t think he had it in him, but clearly he can be a real prick too.“Excuse me, what?” I ask, trying to remain nonchalant. Although I feel extremely self-conscious since the moment I had seen him looking at my burns, and the way he look
Zade and Valerie shouldn’t have done this. Putting him here has only made me feel even more stressed out.I try mind-linking Zade, but I’m reaching a blank. He’s blocked me off. Irritation ripples through me as I try to link to Valerie, but she’s got blocked me off too.What the hell? I grab my phon
ADRIANA“He’s marked and mated! He will whip your ass even if you are considered Sebastian’s rival, plus he’s younger!” I growl.Zade smirks. “I kinda forget these men are getting old.”Atticus raises an eyebrow. “Age is a number. It all depends on how you take care of yourself. Plus, I don’t need t
Atticus is thrown back, the sound of tearing fills the air, and Zade is left holding his shirt.Damn…I almost get up to check on Atticus but he’s already up, sweat trickling down that drool-worthy body, his brown locks fall in front of his eyes, and he shakes his head to get them off his face, wipi
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
