Sebastian’s POV “She’s been researching how to help us?” Sebastian repeated, he still couldn’t believe what he was seeing in front of him. A smile was tugging at his lips as he stared down at Hannah; she was sleeping soundly at her computer, not knowing that he was there. Eric was howling and basking in her beauty; she seemed even more beautiful to them. He continued to flip through the pages of her notebook; reading through her bullet points and the many ways to calm the anxieties he faces during his wolf madness. She even listed some of the books that she read through; he was guessing she got those books from the library and wanted to keep track of what she already read. “She’s been at the library a lot,” Eric reminded him. “With that doctor.” “Has she been there researching this that whole time?” Sebastian asked. He felt a wave of guilt washing over him as he remembered how he reacted when he saw her at the library. He forced he
Hannah’s POV We left in the morning to go into the city; Sebastian wanted to get an early start because I had to work that afternoon and he wanted to see Emily at the hospital. As he said her name, I had to stifle a groan; I didn’t want him to know that she bothers me. There was a part of me that didn’t trust her; Nora had a weird feeling when it came to Emily. I tried to ignore the feeling, but it only seems to grow thicker in my stomach, sinking like lead. We went to the florist shop first to gather a few flowers that I took note of. One of which was the jasmine flower. It was even more beautiful in person. Sabastian looked awkwardly at me as we were getting the flowers; like he was uncomfortable with the arrangement. “Usually, I would be getting you the flowers,” he said hesitantly. I bit my lip to keep myself from laughing; he’s never looked so awkward to me before. It’s not like I was purchasing the flowers for him. We were getting them
Hannah’s POV I kept the pamphlet in the drawer of my desk at the palace; I hadn’t brought it up to Sebastian yet because I feared what he would say. Nora was upset with me for lying to him, but I didn’t think of it as lying. I just hadn’t told him about it. Yet. I was planning to at some point. When the timing is right. I still had time before enrollment, so I didn’t need to decide right now anyway. So, for right now, the pamphlet will remain in the drawer of my desk until I had the nerve to talk to Sebastian. I stared at myself in the mirror, satisfied with the maroon dress I was wearing. It was a simple, business casual dress, that I got from the boutique that Sebastian had bought. I had my hair tied in a low ponytail and curled into ringlets down my back. Sebastian walked into the room, he was wearing one of his dark suits and had his hair combed out of his face. Of course, he was wearing his mask, which still bothered me, but I made it a point to
Amy’s POV “Father…” Liam breathed as Steven made his way to his bedside. “My boy,” Steven said in return, fake sincerity in his tone. “I can’t believe I have to sneak here to see my own son. It was completely unfair of your sister. Don’t you think?” “I told Liam everything Hannah says about him,” Amy said, folding her arms across her chest. “But it seems he didn’t believe me and still allows her to see him.” “Hannah’s my family…” Liam said, nervousness in his tone. “Aren’t we your family too?” Steven asked, a fake hurt roaming through his voice. Liam wasn’t sure what to say to that either. “Haven’t we taken care of you since your mother died?” “Yes,” Liam said softly. “And you don’t think we’d continue to care for you?” Steven asked. “Hannah said…” he tried to say. “It doesn’t matter what Hannah said,” Steven cut him off. “Do you want to see your mom again?” He asked. Liam’s eyes widened.
Hannah’s POV My lips touched Sebastian’s with a hard force, and I hungrily searched his mouth with my tongue. He wrapped his arms around me and pressed me into the wall, allowing me to do as I pleased with his mouth. I could feel the cold plastic of his mask, rubbing against my features and it was almost uncomfortable, but I tried to push the discomfort out of my mind. I knew at any moment, that Nancy could walk around the corner and see our embrace, but I didn’t care. I almost wanted her to find us. My heart was beating heavily against my chest, and I ignored the evident pain. I traced his bottom lip with my teeth and gave it a playful tug, bringing him further into my mouth. I could feel Nora’s tension easing from within me as we were brought closer together. I could feel the heat from his body radiating off mine, making my cheeks flush as he continued to press himself against me. Trapping me between the wall and his hardened exterior. His biceps were rippl
Hannah’s POV I sat at my computer, in my room, replaying the conversation I had with my father a few hours prior. He was telling me that if I wanted to have visiting rights to my brother, I had to quit my job. He didn’t want me working at this hospital anymore. I didn’t want to make that deal with him, but I felt like I had no other choice. I was thankful when I got home, and Sebastian hadn’t returned yet. I didn’t want to tell him about the deal I just made with my father yet; I wasn’t sure how to tell him. All my hard work was going to be for nothing. I felt a painful tug in my chest and all I wanted to do was cry, but I needed to be strong. Crying wasn’t going to solve my issues. Nora kept reminding me how strong we were and that this wasn’t going to bring us down. As I sat at my desk, I pulled out the pamphlet on the Bluemoon Medical Academy. Technically, if I quit my job at the hospital and attended this school, I would still be able to continu
Sebastian’s POV “I’m scared for these next results,” Emily said, peering over at Sebastian who remained in his seat by her bed. “I’ve been feeling off lately. Lightheaded, nausea, things like that.” “I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about,” he said, keeping his voice monotone. “They will figure something out if it is serious. “What if it’s bad?” She asked, nervousness in her tone. “You already have the fate of death knocking on your door,” Sebastian reminded her. “Can’t be worse than that.” She leaned back in her bed; his words were meant to make her feel a bit better about her test results, but he realized his tone was a bit harsher than he meant it. He didn’t say anything else though; he leaned back in his own seat and stared over at the clock. There was a part of him that kind of wanted to find Hannah and see how she was doing. She’s been acting weird for the last few days, and he couldn’t figure out what was wrong. He knew if he a
Hannah’s POV “I’m sorry you had to find out this way,” Emily said, a smile playing on her lips and there was no ounce of compassion on her expression. “She isn’t sorry,” Nora hissed. “Nothing about her is sorry.” I clenched my fingers tightly, feeling my nails pressing firmly in the palms of my hands. It was taking everything I had not to lung at her and rip her apart, piece by piece. “We’ve been seeing each other for some time now. He was supposed to tell you, but I couldn’t wait for him to do that much longer.” “I appreciate your honesty,” I said through my tightened jaw. I had to get out of there before something happened. I could feel tears burning in the back of my eyes and I was already humiliated standing in her presence. I could sense Sebastian returning to the room; he was only around the corner. If I left now, he wouldn’t see me. I needed to get out of there quickly. I turned away from Emily before she c
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
