Spin-Off of I AM THE LUNA (The Power of Three Series) One misjudgment, one fateful choice, and I made the greatest mistake of my life. Left with guilt that will never fade. In this world, there's a rule: if you do something, then do it so thoroughly that there is no trace left. But I couldn’t. Instead, I did what I thought was necessary so I could sleep at night. Now, I’ve broken a code that might just be the very thing that destroys me. My name is Zion King, and I am the Alpha who represents the supernatural world. ~ He gave me everything, and I worshipped the very ground beneath his feet. Until I realised he was the reason I was left with nothing. Worse, he’s one of them. They say revenge is best served cold, and I’ll make sure it’s so cold that it will shatter his entire world and bring him to his knees before me. My name is Milena La Croix, and I am one of the Arkan Elite.

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 against the wall and kiss her senseless almost takes over, but a reminder of what she did keeps me in place. I grip her neck and lean in closer.“I’m not jealous of a mere human because I know he doesn’t make you scream the way I did.” I let go of her and turn away, picking up my shirt and walk to the bathroom. “And don’t try to leave. I have four men posted outside.”I slam the door behind me and clench my jaw. I shouldn’t have given her such a reaction, but the thought of her with someone else irritates me even if we are nothing to one another anymore.As I step under the shower, I ponder on what she was saying. She wants to work with me, and there’s no way I can trust her… but she does have
~ 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 counter sarcastically.He simply smirks. “I’m just intrigued by Zion’s preferences. I mean, I’m sure the height probably came in use for a lot of-”“Did you bring the medication?” Zion cuts him off.I look between them, shaking my head, then I walk over to the table and take a seat.“Yeah, I did. I’m Xander, Zion’s better-looking brother by the way.”If you say so.He looks over at Zion. “And she’s blond. Why did I imagine her as a redhead, maybe the attitude?” Xander continues.“Zion wasn’t wrong, you really don’t shut up.”“Aww, did he talk about me? I’m honoured. But really, you’re not what I was expecting Zion’s type to be.”“Really?” I ask as I flip open one of the cartons. “Is his new
~ 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 look up at him, his brilliant blue eyes sharp as they gaze back at me. Multiple memories of that very command from him flash through my mind. But there’s no sparkling sexy glint in his eyes this time, just a cold, dark and dangerous spark as he brutally shoves his fingers down my throat. I let out a choked gasp, but I don’t gag that easily, he should know that.He narrows his eyes as if understanding me and he releases my jaw, his hand dropping to my throat. He squeezes it and, at the same time, he twists his fingers in my throat, making me gag. He then cuts off all my airways. I retch violently and he shoves his fingers in deeper. My eyes sting and then he’s pulling his fingers out and I t
~ ZION ~I enter the apartment as the men standing guard lower their heads in respect.“You’re dismissed for the night.”“Yes, boss. Will you be fine?”“Without a doubt.” I shut the door, locking it and place the food bags on the dining table. I can’t hear anything from the bedroom, but I’m not worried, the windows in this building are bulletproof and if anyone was able to penetrate the windows it will trigger an alarm. The worst she can do is lie in wait to attack me or kill me herself. The latter not being something she’ll do.But attacking me… that’s highly likely… I unlock the bedroom door; that would give her enough time to prepare herself. I then push open the door to be met with darkness.Three… two…I see the vase swinging my way and duck, swiping her feet from under her. The vase hits the mirror that stands beside the door, shattering it as she yanks me down. I trip over her foot but grab the door frame as the vase cracks, and the moment I knock her ankle aside as she also tri
~ ZION ~The women clad in risque lingerie twirl around the poles, their shimmering bodies illuminated by the purple and pink lighting of the strip club.I don’t spare them more than a glance, my eyes roaming instead over the seated men - searching for the one I’m here for. It doesn’t take long to find him. His black hair a tousled mess, his purple eyes fixed on the women on stage.Once upon a time I may have appreciated the scene before us, but the moment she had walked into my life, she was the only woman who I wanted to see putting on a show for me. No matter how high-end this place is, it disgusts me now, but I cannot say the same for my brother.Xander sits there - throwing money at the women, a glass of alcohol in his other hand, a cocky smirk on his face, and his arms around two women.He senses me and his smirk falters as he looks at me, instantly sitting up straighter.‘What are you doing here?’ he asks through the mind-link.I walk over to his booth, motioning to the women to
~ MILENA ~The bullet pierces through his chest and I gasp, my heart shattering as I watch the blood drip down his white shirt. It hurts, so fucking much. Not that I shot him, not that I know he could have dodged it if he had moved, but it’s the shock in those bright blue eyes when he realised I shot him. Almost as if he didn’t think I would, that I could.Surprise morphs to realisation, and then to hurt, pain, and disappointment before he looks away.“There’s really something about you Arkan that is different. This is the second time I took a chance…” he mutters, more to himself as he tries to smile through the betrayal.Betrayal.He betrayed me.He killed my brother! My only family!He lived and walked past that photograph of my brother every single day, although he was his killer! Who does that?My head is pounding violently as I raise the gun again. This ends today.“Goodbye, Zion.”His eyes flash, changing into those of the beast within.“So, this is the real you,” I snarl venomou
~ MILENA ~My eyes open, my vision blurry. I rub my eyes. I know I’m in a bed. It feels familiar, and for a moment I wonder if I’m back at my place but… my bed isn’t this large or comfortable.I sit up and look around, my heart hammering as realisation settles in. I know why it feels so… homely.This was our place, where we lived… together.I feel as if I’ve been punched in the gut. What kind of sick joke is he playing? Why did he bring me here?I push off the bedsheet, gritting my teeth at the pain in my thigh and stagger out of bed quietly. I’m about to storm from the room but I’m unable to move when I spot a black gown draped over the large armchair, a book lying open face down on it.My heart begins hammering as I spin around. His jacket still remains on the end of the bed. The shattered mirror is still there. My makeup, our photos…What kind of sick joke is this!Everything is just how we left it that night, aside from the glass on the floor and those pictures. The rest is exactly
~ ZION ~Not this time.I raise my gun, pressing it to her forehead roughly. She stumbles backwards trying to put space between us, but with her injured leg she’s not as slick and I almost reach out to steady her, then remind myself who she is.She is one of them.And she’s here for a reason.Do they know of our past and was she placed before me to be my end? I know I’ve rustled feathers. The Arkan has always had a target on my back, but I am untouchable. Is this a new motive?Is that how low they will go? How low will she go?“I assure you I am not the man I was seven years ago.”She smiles, that gorgeous dangerous smile that I knew would be my ruin… but not in the way she ended up being.Her hair is a little longer. She always complained about how annoying it was to handle, but I always liked it… She hasn’t changed, simply became even more of a catch.I smirk humourlessly as she continues to stare at me challengingly, as if she really thinks I won’t do it.“Shoot then,” she whispers,
~ MILENA ~Irritation flashes through me as the car comes ever closer. As predicted it would.I’m waiting for the moment Zion’s car that he no longer has control over dangerously drives down this one-way road, and I’ll be here, waiting to pull out in front of him.I have to time it just right. If he hits my car at that speed, I’m the one who will suffer, not him. He’s a werewolf, he’s physically stronger.Now.I turn my car out onto the road, but from his point of view, he wouldn’t have seen I was waiting on standby.Nine seconds until impact…Five…I see his car swerve and I turn my own steering in the other direction, bracing for impact as my car slams into one of the trees lining the road. The windscreen shatters and my airbag bursts out, knocking me back into my seat, and my head spins violently.Fuck.My entire body is jarring with pain. I hear the sound of an even louder crash and struggle to look through the window. My neck hurts…I glance at the passenger seat where a birthday
RECKLESS HEARTS HEIRS OF THE TRIQUETRA - BOOK 1~ MILENA ~The dog won’t stop barking. Slamming itself against the metal chain link fence outside in the alleyway, as if desperate to escape from what is to come. I could shut the window to block it out, but the heat is unbearable. It feels like the walls are closing in on this already suffocating place.The dog’s owner is yelling at it again. Telling it to shut up, as if that is going to help. It won’t. It never does. He should know that by now.I glance at the calendar on the wall opposite me. From here I can’t see the words, but the red cross that's slashed over today says enough.It’s time.I kick off the thin sheet and take the three steps to the adjoining shower room. The light buzzes when I flick the switch. The mirror hanging right above the toilet is cracked. A tiny sink hangs off the wall beside it. Stepping under the rusted metal shower head, I turn it on. Cold water trickles out weakly as I stand under it, letting it numb ev...
