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
“Can you both just fucking stop?” I growl, dropping my hands, very aware of a certain thumping heart beneath my fingers. “Enough.”“What on earth is this? You said it was just a light match, Zade!” Valerie hisses.And you believed that? I think, but don’t say anything.“We’re fine, Valerie,” Atticus
ATTICUSHer fingers brush down my abdomen tantalisingly, the intense tingles of her touch making pleasure dance through me. A dangerous temptation drawing me in like an intoxicating drug. Each moment around her entices me, binding me. This is the power of the bond and when it promises such pleasure…
(FLASHBACK)I look up when she appears, her eyes hard. “What is it?”“I had a request,” I say quietly. It’s the following day after Mom’s wedding and last night her remark about wishing she could see my children made me come up with a sudden idea.Sure, it’s not perfect, but it would bring Mom great
Somehow, that’s sexy.“Adriana. What a beautiful name. Atticus and Adriana. Bless your souls,” Mom whispers, smiling softly, silent tears streaming down her cheek. Her voice pulls me from my trance.“Mrs-”“Mom, please call me Mom, dear. I won’t have this formality.”“M-mom…”“Atticus, open that top
ADRIANAThere’s something about a man going from relaxed to assertive and commanding that I damn love and when it’s this asshole, it’s even hotter. There’s a dominance in those steel-grey eyes that are now burning into mine.“Even if you don’t say anything, your beating heart conveys more than enoug
Talk yourself out of this one girl.I actually want to fucking see how I manage this one.Breathing deeply, I try to calm myself.I still. For a moment allowing myself to enjoy the embrace, which feels so… safe. I’ve never felt this safe in my life. From the very first day that Gerard took my hand a
ATTICUSHer screams reach my ears before one of my private ambulances comes into view, parked at the side of the road. Four of my men stand outside with their hands clasped in front of them. They spot me, instantly lowering their heads politely.I reach them and shift back. One of the men passes me
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
