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
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

~ MILENA ~The next few days I didn’t see Zion, left alone with just a TV that allows only a few movies to play, the access to the internet was blocked on everything. The internet is non-existent.I felt suffocated, not knowing what to think. Will he agree? Because otherwise, I would love to know wh
“Right, but really, do you think I’m looking for a way to kill you? I’m trying to get answers here,” she snaps. “Why can’t you understand that?”“Because you tried to kill me, remember?”“Because you killed my brother. You knew who he was and yet carried on with this pretend relationship. You used m
~ ZION ~Her eyes widen with surprise, but like always there is no fear in them. Her gaze dips to my lips, and she runs her tongue along her own distractedly.“How terrifying,” she taunts in a breathless whisper. I clench my jaw, my eyes glimmering as we glare at one another. The urge to pin her aga
“Not for long then,” I reply before I return to the bedroom exhausted and drop onto the bed. I can hear the two brothers talking but it’s muffled, Zion’s voice a simple hum in comparison to his brothers.Zion doesn’t have another woman.I smirk at that as I sit up. That’s one I won’t pass up the cha
~ MILENA ~The man looks over at me and I’m staring into violet eyes; so unique… He doesn’t look like Zion, who has a sharper jaw, but he’s handsome. I’ll give him that. “She’s not what I was expecting. She’s taller than I imagined too,” he remarks.“I didn’t realise I stepped out to be assessed,” I
I’m placed on the bed and I can feel him watching me, his fingers combing my hair off my face. Then he sighs quietly and I hear him move away.“I purchased some food from Drake’s Chicken Place. It was poisoned, get to the bottom of it for me.” His voice is icy as he speaks through the phone.I can’t
~ MILENA ~Zion looks at me sharply, then lifts me up and rushes me to the bathroom. My body is beginning to burn up, the pain inside my stomach spreading. He places me down by the toilet and crouches down beside me.“Open up,” he commands, gripping my jaw and slipping two fingers inside my mouth. I
Because I was fucking afraid I’d lose you.“You were a good fuck,” I say instead.Her eyes darken with pure rage and she manages to wrench free. Her hand comes up ready to strike, but I catch it, pinning it between our chests.“Easy there. I thought you wanted the truth,” I whisper. I shouldn’t be h
