Hannah“Your solution is to kill my brother?” I asked in disbelief as I stared at my husband. He sighed and sat up in bed; I could tell from his face that this wasn’t something he wanted to do. But I was in such shock that he would even come up with something like this. “You know how much my brother means to me, Sebastian.”“No, my solution is to save your brother.”“By killing him?”“Right now, his mind is trapped in the underworld. Unless we can get him out, we might not have many options. Gemma mentioned that it needs to be done by the full moon, or he will be trapped in the underworld forever,” Sebastian explained. I could hear my heart breaking in my chest at the sound of that. Sebastian placed both his hands on my shoulder, and I met his eyes. “Hope is not lost; she might think there are no other ways to help him, but clearly she doesn’t remember whom she’s dealing with.”“You think we can find another way to help him?” I asked, tears welling in my eyes. He leaned down and kisse
Hannah Sebastian has been quiet since dinner. Well, since he and Arnold spoke in private.“I know when you’re hiding something from me,” I said, sitting beside Sebastian on the greens of the grass. “Whatever it is, I’d prefer if you just told me. We can figure it out and get through it together.I held Wrenley close to my chest as I spoke to him; she had fallen asleep long ago. The peacefulness of the atmosphere made me want to fall asleep as well. My eyes were heavy; I didn’t realize how much of my energy having a baby takes. Sebastian had the idea to enjoy some time and fresh air at the local park after dinner concluded.The sun had finished setting and the moon has risen to the top. It was nearly in its full shape; less than a week away from the full moon. My heart sat heavily in my chest as I thought about the full moon; that meant Liam only had a few days before he was doomed to be tortured by the vampires for eternity.“We don’t need to talk about it right,” Sebastian said afte
Sebastian The pained expression on Hannah’s face pained Sebastian’s heart. But she must know he was only doing this for her own good. The gamma and alpha trainings are no joke; it will be dangerous and violent. That’s not something he wants to subject his luna to. She said nothing more about the topic and scooped Wrenley up into her arms before heading back toward the palace.He found the night to be sleepless. Hannah seemed to be sleeping beside him soundly, but he couldn’t even get his eyes to close. The thought of Hannah being amongst the trainees was ridiculous.“Our chosen mate is a stubborn one,” Erik said fondly. “She will figure out a way to bend the rules whether we like it or not. We might as well just give in to her wishes.” “Have you lost your mind?” Sebastian growled to his wolf. “I would never forgive myself if anything were to happen to her.” “She survived a long time on her own. She has been fighting since before we met her,” Erik reminded him. “She was right when s
Hannah“Dad,” I said in greeting as he made himself known to me. It’s been a while since I saw him.“I saw you had a baby. Will I be meeting my granddaughter soon?” My father asked as he came closer to me.I stood my ground; not going closer to him, but not backing away either. Pressing my lips firmly together I folded my arms across my chest. “You will not,” I told him. “You are here to train under my husband so you will be prepared for the impossible. Nothing more.”“You keep my own son from me and now you’re keeping my granddaughter from me too?”I didn’t like him bringing up Liam like that, but I kept myself calm knowing that we weren’t alone in the foyer.“I would appreciate it if you stayed clear of my daughter,” I said, trying to sound as unbothered as possible.“You’re definitely your mother’s child,” he muttered, turning away from me to join the other alphas. I stared after him in dismay. Sebastian was by my side quickly and he was also staring at my father with a frown.“Wh
Sebastian Sebastian stared at his luna for a long while as she processed her own thoughts. He wasn’t sure where this nonsense was coming from. She was saying he was supposed to marry Amy, but he knew for a fact that it wasn’t true. The elders would have told him long ago that he made a mistake.“I lied to you,” she said, keeping her tone low and soft. “I’m so sorry.”“I’m still not understanding,” he said, placing his hand on her back. She seemed to relax under his touch as she glanced back up at him. He could see the tears threatening to escape from her eyes, but she held them back. This was difficult for her to speak about, and it tugged at his heart.“Amy was the one who was supposed to marry you,” she repeated. “She was too afraid and refused to do so. They told me that I needed to marry you if she wouldn’t. I initially refused but they told me they would stop treating Liam if I refused.”He understood now what she was trying to say, however, he also knew that the elders wouldn’t
HannahI went to the hospital to see Liam. I knew he couldn’t hear me, but I wanted him to know that we are doing everything we can to help him. Sebastian was kind enough to give us some privacy, so he waited in the waiting room with Wren while I saw my brother. I sat at his bedside, grasping his hand. I hated knowing that he was being tortured somewhere I couldn’t reach him. I hated that he was suffering so much. Sebastian’s pain has only been getting worse; that meant Liam’s pain was getting worse.“We are going to do whatever it takes to help you, Liam,” I whispered to him. “Just hold out a little bit longer.”The underworld portal was supposed to be sealed by the moon goddess, so I wasn’t understanding how the vampires could have so much control over our people. Maybe Gemma would be able to shed some clarity on us later when she arrives.“I’m not going to let you die,” I said to him, standing from his bed.I went to join Sebastian in the waiting room.“How is he?” Sebastian asked,
Sebastian “I was captured by a dark force and held for decades,” Gemma began. “It wasn’t something I wouldn’t wish upon anyone. I was a prisoner of the underworld; a slave to Xander. He used me as his personal witch. Made me do unspeakable things. I never thought I would see the light of day again.”“How did I not know this?” Sebastian asked, eyeing her carefully. She was quiet for a moment, staring down at her hands.“You did at one point. I don’t know how the portal got opened, but it did and the next thing I knew, you were in the underworld. You battled the many vampires and nearly lost your own life in the process. Xander was so powerful and did something to you that made you pass out. He had a hold of your wolf, and if your wolf is no longer a part of you…”“I become nothing more than a weak human,” Sebastian finished for her.She nodded her head slowly.“He had your wolf, and you had no power against him. Your human body was so weak, it wouldn’t allow you to wake. I was in char
Hannah“If that’s what we need to do to save my brother and my husband’s wolf, then that’s what we will have to do,” I said, looking between the two of them.Neither of them heard me lurking around the doorway, but I couldn’t just sit idly by and wait for Sebastian to return upstairs. I finished feeding Wrenley and she went right to sleep. Once I put her in her crib, I went downstairs. I wasn’t meaning to spy on them, but I heard Gemma explaining to Sebastian that his wolf has been trapped in the underworld. Well, at least a part of his wolf has been trapped.That explained his madness and why we couldn’t find a cure for it. This went beyond modern medicine and potions.“You don’t know what you are saying,” Gemma said, eyeing me as I entered through the doorway. Sebastian stood up and I saw the concern on his face, but he didn’t say anything in argument. “Opening the portal is nearly impossible without the guidance of the moon goddess. It’s also extremely dangerous. If the portal open
Hannah I woke up in the hospital. I opened my eyes, adjusting them to the dimmed lighting and seeing Sebastian sitting by my side. He jumped to his feet as soon as I opened my eyes. I thought I would have been in a world of pain, but everything just felt numb.“Try not to move too much,” he says as he fixes my pillow. He grabs a glass of water on my bedside and brings it to my lips. The cold water feels good going down my throat and I smile at him in gratitude. “How are you feeling?”“I’m okay,” I said to him in a hoarse tone. “How’s Wrenley?”His face lights up at the mention of our daughter and I know that means good news.“She’s perfect,” he breathes. “See for yourself.”He goes across the room to a small bassinet and picks up the cooing baby. She’s wrapped in a pink blanket. She’s so small and as he brings her closer. S
HannahAt first, I wanted to deny that my water had just broken in the middle of Raya’s wedding. I really thought I just peed myself. Wren has been sitting on top of my bladder the entire time and I felt the urge to pee for the longest time. But then, the pain hit me suddenly and I nearly fell to the ground.It felt like cramps, but ten times worse. I screamed out as I held onto my stomach. There was no denying it now; I was going into labor.“Someone, call an ambulance!” I heard Dr. Davis say as he jumped to his feet.I felt Nancy’s hands around my arms as she pulls me towards a clearing in the chapel.“I need some room!” She shouts to those who are surrounding us.Everyone scatters to give her some room. Sebastian was quick to be by my side. He was saying something that I couldn’t quite understand. The pain was too much for me and all I could think about at that moment was needing
Hannah 5 months later.I stare at myself in the mirror, and I don’t like what I’m seeing. I’m so round; I wobble like a penguin. My entire back is sore, and my legs hardly hold up my weight. My hair has gone completely flat and lifeless, my complexion is too fair, and I don’t look decent unless I wear a bunch of makeup.I’m wearing a loose-fitting light pink dress with a pair of flats that look like ballet slippers because that’s the only thing that’ll fit my swollen feet.“I’m so fat…” I whine as tears fill my eyes. My hormones were getting the best of me; I don’t remember feeling like this the first time I was pregnant.“You’re not fat,” Sebastian says from behind me, wrapping his arms around me and peering at me through the mirror as well. “You’re pregnant and you’re beautiful.”“I look like an ogre,&r
HannahIt only took me a couple of hours to finish baking the cookies. The kitchen staff seemed utterly surprised that I knew my way around the kitchen. If they thought I was good at making cookies, I couldn’t wait to show them what else I could do.As the luna queen, I promised myself that I would be helping the servants with their daily duties, including meals. I used to cook a lot when I lived in my father’s pack, so I knew how to create a decent meal. As an omega, I’ve always been pretty skilled at baking as well.I gave each of the kitchen servants, including the head chef, a cookie so they can see how they came out.“These are incredible, Luna Queen!” The head chef gasped.I can’t help but smile at their praises as I bundled the rest up on a platter and covered the top of it.“I hope she likes it,” another servant says with a mouthful of cookies. “If not, bring them
Hannah“My mate…” Scott says as he steps further into the palace and toward Caroline. I could hear Caroline’s heart beating so fast that I thought it was going to jump out of her chest. She couldn’t take her eyes away from Scott.Sebastian and I exchanged questioning looks. In the underworld, I had no idea that they were mates. But maybe it was because they couldn’t recognize each other due to Xander’s control. He must have had more control over them than they thought. But that would explain why they became such great friends and why Scott cared about her so deeply while she was in the underworld. Even when he still stayed at the palace and worked for Xander, he seemed to still care for Caroline.Now that I think of it, I’m not sure when or how Scott even ended up in the underworld. But it must have been around this time. Caroline and Scott must have gotten there around the same time for him to be
Sebastian Sebastian slowly stood from his desk; he knew this was going to happen based on their history. But the joy he was feeling in his heart was almost too much for him to handle. He had a large smile that spread across his lips at her announcement. She had a faint smile and tears in her eyes as she pressed the palms of her hands to her stomach. This was the first time she’s ever announced something like this.He ran around his desk and toward her. Scooping her into his arms, he twirled her around. She laughed as she wrapped her arms around his neck. She kissed him deeply and he can feel her heart beating rapidly in her chest.He can feel just how happy she is, and he was happy too. They were having a baby. They were finally going to meet their little Wrenley.…Hannah2 months later.A couple of months after I discovered I was pregnant; I was finally showing a baby bump. I haven’t been able to shift into my wolf form because pregnant wolves can’t shift, which makes us weaker tha
HannahSebastian kissed down my naked body as we entangled ourselves in the bed. The rose petals stuck to my sweating skin and tickled the bareness of my back. I breathed in the amazing scent of my mate, feeling completely content and at peace. His fingers traced down the sides of my body and I can’t help but smile as his lips found mine.I loved this man so much and I wanted to show him just how much he meant to me. I deepened the kiss, wrapping my legs firmly around his broad waist, bringing his manhood further inside of me. feeling his length and girth filling me, I gasped at the incredible sensation. It was something I was never going to get used to. The way he makes me feel is surreal. Even more that I know he is my fated mate. Everything about him is just so incredible.I can feel my wolf running laps through my mind’s eyes; she’s eager to be near him and to be touched by him. This is all she’s been wanting for a very long time. He bit onto my bottom lip and drew it into his mou
Sebastian “You are under arrest for the attempted murder of my maid,” Sebastian growled to Magnolia. Magnolia looked furious and fought against the warriors that held her captive. They were placing cuffs around her wrists to keep her powers under control. Her icy blue eyes peered at Sebastian, and she looked as if she wanted to spit in his face.“You are going to resent this day,” she hissed to him. “I promise you; this palace and your crown will be mine.”Sebastian said nothing to her as he watched the gammas take her out of the palace. She was going to be locked away for a very long time if Sebastian had anything to say about it. He shook his head in dismay as he overheard Hannah comforting a very frightened Caroline.Caroline was still on the ground and Hannah had her arms wrapped around her tightly. Both of them seemed to be trembling. After everything that has happened these last few weeks, he knew Hannah has been holding a lot in, and now was the time to relax and allow her fee
Hannah“She could have been under Xander’s control. Now that Xander has no power, neither does Magnolia,” Sebastian tried to tell me, but I was already ripping the IVs out of my arm. “Easy Hannah. You could puncture a vein.”“I’m not taking any chances,” I said in return. “I can’t lose her again, Sebastian.”For a moment, he looked like he wanted to protest against me, but with one look at my stern face, he knew it was better that he didn’t. He sighed and grabbed onto my arms, stopping me from pulling out any more of the IVs.“Let me do it,” he said as he cautiously pulled the IVs out of my arm.He grabbed some bandages that were left on the nightstand and wrapped my arms with the soft cloth, keeping my bleeding at bay.“We still have some time before anything happens at the palace; we need to be smart about this,” Sebastian says as he finishes tying the bandages around my arms. “I won’t be able to do anything unless we catch Magnolia in the act. I can’t just have her arrested based o
