HannahThe hooded shadow figure. How long has he been there? He must have been the same shadow figure that Dr. Davis saw leaving Liam’s room before Liam went into his coma. Maybe even the same shadow figure that Sebastian saw torturing Liam in the underworld.I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat and wrapped my arms tightly around Wren; I was shielding her from what I was seeing in front of me. This figure seemed to be floating almost; it was clear that it was a dark cloak, but the person inside the cloak remained faceless and blended in with the darkness that traveled behind him.How could it be possible that he was here? “What do you want?” I asked, trying to remain strong and keep myself calm. “Why are you in my brother’s room?”“Because I knew this was the one place I could find you,” he said in return; his voice sounded familiar to me and not at all how I would imagine it to sound. “I’ve come to warn you.”“Warn me about what?” I demanded to know. “Tell me what you did
Sebastian Sebastian felt like his body was being electrocuted. His entire body jolted in pain, and he nearly tumbled to the ground; however, he maintained his stance. He gripped the ledge of the stairs, holding onto it tightly until his knuckles grew white. He gritted his teeth and clenched his jaw, trying to take in a deep breath as another jolt of pain took over his body.He tasted blood pooling in his mouth and dripping to the ground, forming a puddle around his feet.“What the fuck is happening?!” He growled; the pain was nearly taking over his entire body.He didn’t want to let anyone else see him like this and he would be damned if he remained where he was knowing that his gammas and alphas were lurking around the palace.“If I had to guess, I would say it’s whatever they are doing to your wolf in the underworld,” Gemma said, rushing toward him with a towel.The towel was warm, and it felt nice as he covered his face with it, allowing it to soak up the blood that continued to p
Hannah“A vessel?” I asked. “That’s what Gemma was saying he wants to turn us into. You think Henry is already a vessel?”“It only makes sense,” Sebastian said in return. “He’s a powerful and dangerous being, but he can’t come to our land on his own. He would need a different body to come to this land.”“So, that would mean, Henry was actually Xander?” I asked; I didn’t want something like that to be true. I didn’t trust Henry, but the thought of him being the vampire king this entire time was unsettling.“There’s no way to know for sure until we get the portal open and go to the underworld ourselves,” Sebastian told me. “But we need to be prepared for anything.”“That’s what he wants to do to us?” I asked, peering up at my husband. “Take over our bodies so he can control both the werewolf territory and the underworld?”“We aren’t going to let him get the chance. But first things first, we need to get our wolves back.”I nodded in agreement.“Hannah!” I heard Raya’s voice coming from
HannahGemma and Sebastian were already waiting in the gardens when we arrived. As I approached, I saw that Gemma had the spell book in her hands and she was studying it carefully. I couldn’t help but notice how nervous she looked. I couldn’t blame her for being nervous. This was a huge thing she was doing, and it was incredibly dangerous.Sebastian on the other hand didn’t look worried; I admired his bravery, and it made me feel confident that we will be able to do this mission with ease. Gemma started to make a large circle with the sage as the sun completely set and the full moon came into view. I knew time was running short and within a few hours, the vampire king would start his ritual as well.I stood beside Sebastian who wrapped an arm around me, holding me close to him. We watched as Gemma lit a match, throwing it at the sage that she sprinkled around the ground. Before our eyes, the sage lit up into beautiful orange an
Sebastian Hannah had disappeared once the blinding light appeared. Sebastian couldn’t see anything, not even his luna and daughter. But he knew they were still nearby because he could feel them. He reached out to grab her, but he was only met with air. He felt the heavy energy of the moon goddess circling him and protecting him; he only hoped that she was protecting his family as well.The moon goddess had obviously chosen them to be together or else they wouldn’t be the three keys that opened the portal. That explained the prophecy, but it was still odd that Hannah was only his chosen mate.He finally got a glimpse of her running through the blinding lights with Wren in her arms. He wanted to run out toward her, but he knew she was running Wren to safety, and he didn’t want to distract her. Raya was waiting with open arms and ready to take Wren away from there. He felt a strange pull toward the moonstone scepter that he had d
Hannah“Liam…” I breathed again; my brother stood before me at the doorway with his boyish grin.He looked well; he didn’t look like someone who’s been tortured for months, and he didn’t look ill. I found it hard to believe that this wasn’t his actual body and that his body was on our land in a hospital bed decaying as time passed.My body finally unfroze, and I ran to him, wrapping my arms tightly around him and holding him close to me. My little brother was with me, and he seemed okay.“I came here looking for you,” I whispered to him. “I didn’t think it would be this easy but I’m so glad to see you.”I forgot how tall my brother is; he towered over me. I was so used to seeing him lying down. I pulled away from him and held him at arm’s length so I could scan his face and his body.“Are you okay?” I asked. “Are you
Sebastian “Where’s Hannah?” Sebastian demanded to know.“All you need to know is that she’s safe,” Xander said, his tone darkening. “If you knew what was good for you, you would leave here now.”“I’m not leaving without her. Bring her to me.”“I’m afraid she’s busy right now,” he chuckled. “But as I said, she’s perfectly safe. My servants have orders to keep her protected at all costs.”“What is it you want with her?”“I think you know exactly what it is I want,” Xander answered. “Once I’m in complete control of both our territories, I’m going to need a queen to rule with me. That’s where the lovely Hannah comes to play.”Sebastian felt fury rising through his body. There was no doubt that if he had his wolf, he would have lost control by now.“
Sebastian “Erik,” Sebastian said, going toward his wolf. Erick lifted his head. He was awake. “You old bastard. I knew you would be too strong to be weakened by that vampire asshole.” “Took you long enough,” Erik said; his voice was weak, but as Sebastian approached, he could feel him growing stronger. “We don’t have long. Once the full moon is at its peak, Xander will be powerful enough to take full control.”“He has Hannah,” Sebastian told him. “He wants to marry her and make her his queen. But she’s not going to go along with that.” “He’s powerful; is she strong enough to resist him? He seems to be able to mind-wash people down here.” Sebastian scoffed at the very thought of Hannah falling victim to the vampire k
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
