ZAIA “I have some good news, Zaia. Sebastian will be so excited. Congratulations, you’re pregnant!” The doctor’s words ring in my mind as I stare down at the test reports once again, as I leave the hospital. “Sorry!” I say, as I avoid bumping into someone, my heart skipping a beat as I place a han
ZAIA. The following day dawns as gloomy and dark as the weight on my chest. Sebastian left last night. I had heard the front door slam shut, and I wonder if he went to Annalise. I stare at the divorce file in front of me, five million dollars as alimony. It is not a small amount. He really want
ZAIA. Once back home, everywhere I look I see him, see the life we built together here. Crippling pain consumes me at what I’m leaving behind, but I won’t allow him to take more from me. I won’t let him hurt the life growing inside me. These babies are as much mine as they are his and I will do my
ZAIA. The next day I reach the Pack Hall early. Sebastian has texted to say he’ll send a car, but I refuse, saying I’ll make my way there by myself. I have donned a simple black dress, and Mom has pinned my hair back in a neat bun. “Are you sure you don’t want me to accompany you inside?” Mom as
SEBASTIAN. “Are you still brooding? You know Seb, I’m tired of having to nag you to get stuff done when you were always on top of it all. Why even reject her if you can’t deal with it?” I look up at Jai, my Beta and also my best friend, but I choose not to answer him. It’s been 4 months since she
SEBASTIAN. I look at Valerie sharply as she glares at Jai, snatching the file back from me. “You’re a pig!” She hisses. “Like you’re any better!” He snaps. The two always clash. They had dated for a short while and were inseparable, but after a nasty breakup, they can’t even stand being in each
I know, because I have someone watching over it, just in case they return. But her phone was never switched on again, not a single call was made from it. The alimony money I promised to pay her monthly has been sitting in her bank account untouched. Her passport was not used, something I had made
ZAIA. It’s been four months since that day. I wish I could say life is perfect, but it’s far from it. I am still weak despite doing my best to remain healthy for my babies. Mom knew someone who had helped us create fake IDs, and we had managed to be accepted into a new pack. She explained to the A

“What’s wrong?” I ask sharply, closing the door behind me, surprised when Zaia lifts the trail of my dress so it doesn’t touch the bathroom floor. Neither of us exchanges a word as we look at Valerie, who is battling with herself. “Oh, I don’t know. Never mind. Let’s get back to our men.” She trie
ADRIANA I watch Atticus take a glass of wine and down it in one go as I walk off with Zade and can’t help but snicker. Sebastian’s kids walk over to him and I feel something oddly… I don’t know, just something when he kneels down and compliments Kaia before he smiles at the other three. He’ll mak
ATTICUS I stand up and help her up. As she takes my hand, I feel her slip another Polaroid into my hand. My eyes flash, the curiosity to see it right now as she winks at me. And I can’t resist not wanting to wait. With a swift glance around, I switch her to my other side, placing my hand on her wai
Her skin shimmers when the light hits it and draws my attention to her enticing cleavage. She’s wearing a large choker necklace, one that looks like a sexy collar and it has a large A on it, and I know it doesn't stand for Adriana but Atticus. She's wearing large earrings which match the necklace.
ATTICUS “Finally,” Sebastian says from behind me as Patrick helps me into my jacket. I smirk as I fix it, looking at my reflection. I’m wearing a sage grey suit with a white shirt that I’ve left open without a tie as she will mark me tonight, and I don’t want to make it harder for her to access. “
He smiles faintly. “You really have fallen into the Luna role so perfectly. Look at you fixing my mistakes.” I smirk. “Or being devious, you are too truthful. I’ll text Valerie,” I say, reaching for my phone. “Are you certain about this?” he asks quietly, placing a hand over mine. “I am,” I answ
ADRIANA It’s been a week since I arrived here and I already feel at home, although at times I feel a little overwhelmed by the luxuries I am given. Atticus is indeed wealthy. He’s a businessman on top of being an alpha and even with meetings, training, pack stuff to do and everything else in betwe
