Sebastian was trembling violently as he held Hannah’s unconscious body. She was still not breathing but she had a faint pulse, so he knew she was still alive. But he wasn’t sure how much longer she could stay alive.Thankfully, the EMTs arrived quickly. Arnold had come downstairs shortly after Sebastian and saw that Hannah wasn’t well. He called 911 immediately to get an ambulance. Sebastian was trying to remain strong for Hannah; he knew if he fell apart no good would come from that.He was the king and he needed to be strong for not only himself and Hannah, but his kingdom as well. He couldn’t let them see him break.But he didn’t want to let Hannah go. He held her close to him and he could smell her sent through her blood. Her body was still so warm, and it provided his wolf such tranquility. Her mouth was hanging open slightly with no air escaping her lips. But staring at her full and beautiful lips, he just wanted to kiss them. He worried he would never be able to kiss them again
Sebastian’s POVStill, with the power of the moonstone surging through him, Sebastian found it difficult to break his eye contact with Magnolia. His wolf was trying hard to detach the energy, but he found himself not strong enough.“Lock yourself away in the dungeon,” Sebastian found himself ordering her; she seemed to be compliant with his orders.“Yes, your majesty,” she said.She finally broke her gaze from him and walked toward the basement door that led into the dungeon. At that point, the moonstone wasn’t as strong and Eric was able to break through the barriers, bringing Sebastian back to his normal state of mind.He finally felt the moonstone weakening and the surging went down.Sebastian blinked a few times, looking around the foyer confused as to what happened. His memory was wavering a little bit, but he remembered that Magnolia told him that Jack was in the woodland forest. He was going to gather rogues to fight.That wasn’t going to happen while Sebastian was still alive.
Hannah’s POV“Liam’s alive?” I asked, my breath got caught in my throat as I stared up at Sebastian, shocked.Did Jack lie to me?Of course, he lied to me. Why was I surprised by that? He tried to kill me.“Yes,” Sebastian said, still eyeing me carefully. From the way he was looking at me, I could tell he was confused. “We found him in the riverbed bordering the rogued town. You used to call it your little paradise…”The riverbed. Of course, he was at the riverbed. That was my mother’s favorite spot. It was the only place the other rogues didn’t go because it was too close to the kingdom. But my mother never feared being in or near the kingdom; she didn’t have anything against the packs or the royal family. Even after my father rejected her and us, she still for some reason loved him. He was her chosen mate from the beginning and her wolf couldn’t let him go, regardless of how hard she tried.She loved him until her last breath.That riverbed was the only place we could go that was so
Sebastian’s POV“But your majesty…” Arnold tried to protest, but Sebastian shot his hand up to silence him.“I mean it, Arnold,” Sebastian said with finality in his tone. “You cannot kill him. You are to bring him to the king’s jail, and we will figure out what to do from there. That’s the proper way.”“No offense but screw the proper way. He hurt my mate and…”“He hurt a lot more than just your mate,” Sebastian told him, both his tone and eyes darkening.He knew that the scarred man was involved in that brutal attack at the frat party as well. He didn’t just hurt Raya, but he killed a lot of those students. A lot of innocent students; not to mention put Hannah in harm’s way.“He deserves the worst fate…” Arnold said under his breath; he knew better than to argue with Sebastian, but he also felt strongly about this matter.“And he will get what he deserves. But you aren’t a murderer, Arnold. I won’t allow my Beta to become a murderer. Bring him to the king’s jail and we will deal with
Hannah’s POVHe loves meDid he just say that he loves me?I stared at him with my mouth hanging open, silently. I wasn’t sure what to say in return. Nora was still too weak that I couldn’t fully feel her emotions from within me. He didn’t request for me to say it back to him; he allowed me the time I needed to process what he had just said.My body trembled uncontrollably, and I could feel my heart beating rapidly in my chest. I could almost hear his heart beating, mimicking my speed.I was thankful when Dr. Davis came into the room, interrupting us.“How are you feeling?” He asked as he made his way over to me.“Like I almost died,” I tried to make light of the situation.Neither of them found it very funny though.“You’re lucky to be alive,” Dr. Davis said, his tone hardening as he checked my heartbeat. “I’m going to run some more tests before I discharge you.”“Discharge?” I asked, my eyes wide. “You mean I’ll be able to go home?”Dr. Davis nodded.“Hopefully by the end of today;
Hannah’s POVIt was like an out-of-body experience. I could feel his bare skin against mine and the warmth our bodies created as they were pressed together as one. But it was almost like the young wolf that lay with him, wasn’t me. I no longer felt like myself. His lips trailed down the nape of my neck until they landed on the mark he left on the back of my neck. I trembled from his kisses as he kissed the mark; he traced his tongue across the mark, and I exhaled as my body relaxed for the hundredth time.I felt like I was losing control of myself; Nora was in complete control of me. She’s been wanting this for a long time, and I’ve been dismissing her desires with ice water. But the ice was only a temporary fix; she was hungry for him and now I was finally giving her what she wanted.I continued to kiss him; biting on his bottom lip and bringing it further into my mouth, allowing him to moan into me. The sounds of his moans made my heart leap wildly in my chest. I knew my face must h
Hannah’s POV“Were you ever going to tell me?!” I asked, storming into our bedroom.I paused at the door when I saw Sebastian’s half-naked body standing before me. My heart stopped in my chest and my breathing got caught in my throat. I stared around his broad torso, remembering the events from the night before. My face flushed from the memory of his arms wrapped around me; his lips kissing every corner of my body.I wanted to drape my fingers through his hair and kiss him all over the place. My heart was fluttering just thinking about it. I felt the heat rising in my face, illuminating my body and I making me feel like I had just come out of a sauna.“I wanted to wait for the right time,” he said, keeping his tone low and even as he stared around my reddened features.I blinked a few times, bringing myself back to reality and out of my trance. I swallowed hard, pulling my eyes away from his chest and meeting his blue gaze.“Caroline is dead…” I whispered; I wasn’t trusting the full e
Hannah’s POV“Over my dead body will I let you go see her, Hannah,” Sebastian hissed; I could see anger flashing through his gaze as he turned away from me.“But I…”“No, Hannah!” Sebastian growled. “You don’t have a reason to see her.”“She killed Caroline!” I argued.“And she’s being dealt with properly,” Sebastian told me.“I need to speak with her. I need to know why,” I told him, folding my arms across my chest. I wasn’t going to take no for answer with this. It wasn’t fair that he wasn’t listening to reason.“I know the reason why,” he told me, looking back at me. “Because she’s trying to get to me.”“Killing Caroline was her way of getting to you?” I asked with disbelief in my tone.He wasn’t even close to Caroline; that wasn’t making any sense.“Killing any of my servants gets to me,” Sebastian answered, he lowered his tone, and I could see him calming down.He was right; Caroline was still his worker. But none of it was making any sense to me still; I knew there had to be mor
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
