Hannah
“You married Dr. Davis?” I gasped; I knew she had a huge crush on him and often referred to him as “her man”, but the last I remembered he didn’t want anything to do with her.
It was hard to believe that he caved and married her.
She nodded though and stared down at her ring.
“A year after you disappeared,” she explained. “We started dating officially and then he proposed after another year.”
“What did you mean when you said that they have him?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at her. “What happened?”
“He went against orders when they told him to cease and dismiss the hospital. He refused to leave. He didn’t want it to get shut down, so he continued working in protest. Eventually, the king had him removed by force and I haven’t seen him since…”
“How long ago was that?” I asked, staring at her int
HannahWe returned home with my new dress and for the rest of the evening, Sebastian and I read Gemma’s black book.“It says that the chosen child is the moon goddess’ eyes, ears, and body. She has the power of the moon goddess to keep the peace amongst the lands because the goddess can’t be here in her physical form,” Sebastian said, reading the pages.“So, Wren is her version of a vessel?”“Pretty much,” he answered. “It’s kind of strange to think about. But if the goddess thinks this is the best option, then we have no other choice than to trust her.”“Of course, I trust the moon goddess,” I retorted. “That doesn’t mean I like that our daughter is being used like this though. Does the book say anything about how to control her powers?”He flipped through some of the pages.“Most of these are spells she can do
Sebastian “I was thinking you weren’t going to make it. But I’m glad that you did,” Magnolia said, staring over at Sebastian with an oddly fond smile.“You sent the invitation?” Sebastian asked, narrowing his eyes at his stepmother.“Of course,” she answered. “You are my son after all, and I haven’t seen you in ages. I hated how we left things the other day and I wanted a chance to make things right.”“Well, we are here,” Sebastian said, keeping his eyes locked on hers and his tone low. “Exactly as you wanted.”“You have it all wrong, darling. I simply just wanted to enjoy some quality time with my son. Is that so wrong?”Sebastian was anything but her son, but he couldn’t make a scene in the middle of this ball, so he kept his words to himself. Around her neck, he noticed, was a diamond necklace that he didn’t
Hannah “Dr. Davis. What has happened to you?” I asked, grabbing onto the bars of the cell. “What have they done…?”“You shouldn’t be here,” he groaned, lifting his head off the cold concrete ground. I could tell it pained him to speak; it looks like he’s been tortured for months. My heart ached for him; Nancy was going to lose her mind once she found out what was happening to her husband this entire time. “You need to leave before he catches you here.”“Let me worry about that,” I said, shaking my head with dismay. “We need to get you out of here. Where can I find the keys?”I went to search the front desk for the keys to his cell, but his voice stopped me.“Wait; if we are caught, we will all die. I can’t risk your life to save mine.”“I can’t let you rot in here,” I said, narrowing my eyes at him.
Hannah“What’s the rush? It’s not even midnight yet. The fun hasn’t even started,” Jack said, keeping his eyes locked on Sebastian. He was taunting us because he thinks he won. Meanwhile, Amy kept her eyes locked on me.“I’m afraid we can’t stay,” Sebastian said, keeping his tone even and unbothered. “But thank you for the invitation. It was a lovely ball.”Sebastian started to turn away, but Jack spoke again, causing him to pause.“I don’t particularly like when my guests wander around the palace without my permission.”“My apologies,” Sebastian said, turning slightly to look at him. “I wanted to see if my belongings are here. We don’t have much considering we haven’t been on this land in 5 years.”Jack assesses his face like he was trying to figure out if he was telling the truth or not.&ldq
Hannah Opening my eyes did nothing; it felt like they were still closed even though I knew for sure that they were open. It was what I expected though upon entering the underworld. This is what happened the last time too. Except, the last time, I was taken out of this dark room by a force that I couldn’t see. I was in and out of consciousness like I was drugged and when I came through for the final time, I was back in my room. Or at least, I thought it was my room. This time, there was no invisible force that took me away and I didn’t feel like I was drugged. I felt somebody besides me though and from the feeling of my wolf, I knew right away that it was Sebastian. He moved slightly beside me, indicating that he was alive and that he too was waking up. On the other side of me, still holding onto my arm, I felt Wrenley. Her body was trembling in fear, and I felt rotten for putting her in this position. I lifted my body so I was sitting up; I tried adjusting my eyes to my new surr
Hannah“So, she’s the chosen daughter of the moon goddess and that’s why she’s here?” Liz asked for clarification.Both she and Caroline looked wary about all that we have told them. I couldn’t tell if they believed us or not. But they also knew this wasn’t something we would ever lie about. We wouldn’t put Wren’s life in danger like this for nothing.“And Xander is trying to become his vessel. Like completely take them over?” Caroline asked, staring between all of us.I managed a nod.“The only way to stop him is to destroy the heart,” I said.“And the heart is…?” Liz started to ask.“My mother,” I answered.“Right,” Liz breathed. “So, you have to kill your mother?”“We have to stab her in the heart with the scepter,” Sebastian answered. “Once the heart is destroyed, Xander will be powerless.”“The heart is the main power source?” Liz asked, raising her brows. “So, once the heart is destroyed, Xander will have no power. That includes his vessels?”“Exactly,” I answered.“But we need
Hannah“Mom…” I breathed again, staring up at the woman who was once my mother. She stood at the doorway and narrowed her eyes at me. I couldn’t tell what was running through her mind, but I saw the conflicts hidden in her eyes.“Hannah…” she said in return. “What are you doing here?”“I didn’t like how we left things,” I said, peering over at her through my lashes. “I wanted a chance to make things right.”“You left…” she said, shaking her head. “You…”“I never left,” I lied. “I’ve been in the underworld this entire time. I’ve been hiding.”“You’ve been in the underworld the whole time?” She asked. “What about Liam?”I hadn’t thought about what I would tell her about Liam. I couldn’t tell her that he was here because she would never stop looking for him.“He’s not here,” I told her honestly. “He needed to get back to his body before he died permanently.”“He’s alive?”“Yes,” I answered with a head nod. “He’s alive. But I’m here, and I want to make things right with us.”“What about y
Sebastian “Daddy?” Wrenley whispered in a confused tone.Her eyes were closed, and she was gripping the sofa tightly. She had been watching Hannah the entire time. She mentioned that Hannah had cuffs on her, and Sebastian knew right away that it meant Hannah didn’t have her wolf abilities. It worried him, but it was to be expected. No way they were going to trust her with her wolf that easily.Wren also mentioned that Hannah found her mother. This was good; that meant Hannah was doing what she can to get her mother to trust her. But Wren had paused and whispered the word “daddy” in a question.“What is it?” Sebastian asked, taking a hold of Wren’s trembling fingers. “Do you see something?”“I see you, daddy…” Wren said in a worried tone. “You’re there. But you aren’t there.”That didn’t make any sense; she was seeing Sebastian? He wasn’t anywhere near the palace. Unless that meant the shifter had turned into him. Shifters had the ability to turn into anybody they have seen during the
