Hannah’s POV“Raya!” I cried again as I ran to the bed; tears flooding over my features.Sebastian was close behind me.I touched her bruised face, and she stirred in her sleep. I breathed out relieved that she was alive. Her clothes were completely torn off and the only thing covering her bare body was a thin sheet that lay on the bed.She opened her eyes and focused on me; tears welling up in her eyes. She must have been in complete shock; from the looks of her, I couldn’t bl
Sebastian’s POVTonight, was the night of the full moon; if Sebastian stayed at the school, regardless of if Hannah was there or not, there’s no telling what he would do. He woke up with a sense that something terrible was going to happen. He was already feeling his migraine brewing and he was becoming irritable. He hated having to leave Hannah, but he needed to get to his moonstone scepter and chain himself in his dungeon.The moonstone scepter was kept in his nightstand; it was the only thing that weakened his powers and made it, so he wasn’t as strong. He doesn’t even remember how he received the scepter; after the war with the vampires,
Hannah’s POV “Mate?” I asked, staring between the two of them. Raya took an unsteady backward, her face showing pure terror as Arnold came into the room; he hasn’t taken his eyes off her. “Raya is your mate?” I asked again, trying to process what was happening. He didn’t answer; he stepped closer to her, analyzing her every move and her every feature. He stared around her body; he was in deep thought. I knew to him it was like they were the only two in the room, but to Raya, she wasn’t sure what to make of the situation. She was just attacked the night before by a man at a party, so I couldn’t blame her for being frightened, or even confused. “Why are you bruised?” Arnold asked, his eyes darkening as he continued to assess her body. “What happened to you…?” She looked like she wanted to respond, but no words came to her. I tried to avert his attention away from her because she wasn’t ready to talk yet. “Why are you here, Beta Arnold?” I asked. He glanced at me brie
Hannah’s POV Queen Magnolia was in the foyer when we entered the palace. The guards dragged me in by force; Arnold came in soon after and Raya trailed in cautiously. I imagine that being inside the king’s castle was weird for her. She looked nervous and I couldn’t blame her for that. Magnolia looked like she wanted to laugh as I was presented in front of her. The guards showed her my notebook and she pressed her lips together in a firm line as she assessed the picture of the moonstone scepter. “So, it was true,” Magnolia said, looking from my notebook and to my face. “You took the scepter.” “No,” I said firmly. “I didn’t take anything. I was only researching it…” “How did you know about it?” She asked, eyeing me carefully. “I…” My voice trailed off as heat rose into my cheeks. “I found it.” “In his nightstand? Where he keeps it locked?” Magnolia asked, raising her eyebrows. “I know how it sounds… but…” “If she won’t talk, I can make her talk,” Jack said, stepping f
“What are you going to do?” I whispered, my voice sounding unfamiliar. The guard unlocked my cell for Jack to enter and I felt my heart falling into my stomach. My body trembled violently as he made his way closer to me. A wicked grin spread across his face. “I need answers, and you are going to give them to me,” he told me, keeping his eyes locked on mine. “I told you everything already,” I said in return. “I don’t believe you for a second,” he hissed. He motioned for the guard to grab me; he did without hesitation. He grabbed my arms, pulling me to my feet and lifting me in the air like I was nothing. He treated me like a rag doll as he walked me to the other side of the cell and toward the chains on the wall. Fear was overcoming me as he placed the chains around my wrists and my legs, keeping me bound to the wall. The chains tightened, making it impossible for me to move despite how hard I tried. Jack waited patiently for the guard to finish with the chains and back
Hannah’s POV“Get up, thief,” a guard said from the doors of my cell.I opened my swollen eyes and tried to peer through the darkened atmosphere; I could almost make the shape of the guard standing before me. He was bulky and towered over me in an intimidating manner. His aura was darker than the room itself; I knew he wasn’t one of Sebastian’s guards. He had to have been Jack’s.I struggled to stand to my feet; my entire body was bruised from when Jack beat me earlier that day. I grabbed the edge of the concrete wall and pulled myself to my feet.The guard stared at me, shaking his head with disgust.“I’m too weak…” I muttered, trying to keep the weakness out of my tone, but I failed to do so. I coughed immediately after speaking and I tumbled back to the ground as blood escaped through my lips.He must have damaged my ribs if I was coughing up blood.“Your trial is starting soon, you need to get to the courtroom,” he ordered; there were no emotions in his tone. He had zero compassio
Sebastian’s POVRosalie was the girl that was screaming in the kitchen when she found her brother’s dead body. Magnolia killed her brother and tried to frame Sebastian for the crimes. He hadn’t seen this girl since so he assumed Magnolia allowed her to take a leave of absence, or maybe even let her go. He couldn’t believe she was standing before them as Magnolia’s key witness though.Surely Magnolia didn’t pay her to go against him like this?Rosalie looked nervous as she scanned the courtroom. Her eyes found Magnolia and her entire body tensed. Something was going on that Sebastian didn’t know about and the thought was irritating. One look at Hannah’s confused face showed that this whole thing had to have been a giant lie from the beginning.“Please state your name,” The judge ordered her.“Rosalie…” she said. Her voice was soft and quivered as she spoke. “Rosalie Parker.”“And what is your business at the palace?” He asked.She was hesitant for a moment; she was really nervous.“I’m
Hannah’s POV“What?” I breathed.My heart stopped in my chest as I stared at Dr. Davis’s serious expression. My body trembled and it took everything in my power to not run from the courtroom.My brother was missing. How could this have happened? He wouldn’t have just run away like that. Would he?No. My father must have done something. He must have gotten to Liam’s room and taken him once he found out that he was no longer on his visiting list. That must have been what happened.My heart was squeezing tightly to the point where it was too painful, I could hardly breathe. Nora was impatient and we needed to get out of here. We needed to find my brother.“What do you mean he’s missing?” Sebastian asked for me.“I went to check on him this morning and he wasn’t in his room. We searched everywhere. Nobody saw anyone go in there,” Dr. Davis explained; his eyes never leaving my face.I felt like my entire world was crashing down around me.“Why are we delaying the sentencing any further tha
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
