Sebastian's POV “It’s so beautiful,” Hannah breathed as Sebastian stood behind her, putting the necklace around her neck. Her cheeks were red as she turned to face him. “I’m afraid I can’t take this.” He stared around her serious and worried face with a frown. It was an antique necklace with a history of 500 years; she should be honored to have such a rare are gorgeous artifact. “I’m afraid I’ll only ruin it,” she admitted sheepishly, staring down at her feet. “Try taking it off if you dare,” he threatened coldly. … The car they rode in to get there was waiting for them as they left the auction. Lewis stood outside of the car with the doors open already. Sebastian allowed Hannah to enter the car first before he slid in beside her. A couple of the gamma soldiers were standing outside of the car and by their motorcycles, ready to accompany them and keep them protected from outside. Most of the drive was silent; Sebastian wondered if Hannah was still worried about owning such a nec
Sebastian's POV “Be alert at all times,” Sebastian ordered the gamma warriors upon arriving at the inauguration ceremony. He was invited to attend the ceremony at a public botanical garden. The gamma warriors nodded in understanding as they stayed close to Sebastian. The garden was already crowded once they arrived and one of the public speakers was beginning to make his speech. The crowd parted for Sebastian and the warriors to move through them; being a feared Alpha King, nobody dared to stand in his way. Sebastian kept his eyes straight ahead and only wandered a little once he reached the front of the ceremony and stood in his reserved spot. Along the inner corner of the garden were beautiful white tulips and he couldn’t help but think about Hannah. He remembered her mentioning once that her favorite flowers were tulips. Seeing the tulips blooming in the garden, under the scorching sun, Sebastian couldn’t help but think of Hannah’s sweet and lovely face. The thought almost made
Amy's POV “You betrayed us,” their father said in a low threatening tone to Hannah. Amy couldn’t help but smirk; she didn’t feel bad in the least that Hannah was being scolded. Hannah used her powers as luna to get her brother out of the hospital and placed in the palace. They had just arrived at the palace after her father told Hannah that they needed to speak. Amy was surprised that Hannah allowed them to enter the palace, but she stood before them with her arms folded across her chest and her lips pressed in a thin line. “I’m protecting my brother,” Hannah said in return. “You need to get us we asked for,” their father continued. “Or we will report to the Alpha King that you are only his replaced bride.” Amy wanted to laugh on the spot, but Hannah’s clothing caught her eyes. They were Haute Couture from luxury brands. Hannah wasn’t worthy enough to wear such designer clothing. “I want your clothing,” Amy said, interrupting her father’s scolding. They turned to frown at her, bu
Hannah's POV I sat in my brother’s room; I finally got him to sleep. He broke out in a fever, and he wouldn’t stop trembling. He was crying as I held him in my arms. My heart broke for him, and I didn’t know what to do. The doctor made an appearance as well and said that his condition seemed to be worsening. His current treatment was no longer working, and they weren’t sure what else to do for him. I haven’t stopped crying since my father left. I was too afraid to leave Liam’s room. I held myself tightly; pressing my knees to my chest as I curled up in his bed. “How’s your brother?” Sebastian asked from the doorway. I lifted my body weakly and sniffled. “Not good,” I said, my voice quivering. “He’s getting worse.” Sebastian looked sad for a moment, but then something dangerous flashed through his eyes. it nearly gave me a chill. I remembered how cold he was acting earlier; not that I should be surprised. He was was cruel wolf king. I shouldn’t expect anything more or less from hi
Sebastian's POV For the next few days, after Sebastian spoke to the elders, he started noticing Hannah hasn’t been around often. She avoids eating meals with him, keeps her head down when they pass one another in the palace, and she even bathes and sleeps after he’s already sleeping. “She doesn’t smile anymore,” Eric complained from within him. “That light in her eyes is dying.” He was right, since the other night, Hannah hasn’t smiled. Now whenever she looked at him, all he could see in her eyes was fear. It was like she was waiting for him at any moment to snap and lose control. “That’s not our problem,” Sebastian hissed in return. “She’s the one who’s been lying to us. She’s the traitor and deserves whatever happens to her.” “Then why did we come to her rescue when Alpha Steven was berating her?” Eric asked. Sebastian rolled his eyes. “I already answered that question. Alpha Steven was abusing his powers as alpha. As the king, we can’t stand for something like that.” “You
Naomi’s POV Everything was going according to plan. From the sounds of it, Sebastian thought Hannah was only after him for money and jewels. Their bond was fading and growing hostile. It wouldn’t be long before he rejects her, banishing her from not only the palace, but from the kingdom as well. Jack expressed to Steven that he was out to take the throne from Sebastian. It seemed they all had a common goal. Jack wanted to get everything Sebastian had, and Naomi wanted to make sure Amy had everything Hannah had. “You could always try to get a hold of Emily,” Naomi’s mother said. Naomi sat on the couch her mother’s house. She was close to her mother and enjoyed getting some insight and gaining wisdom. Years ago, she had worked in the palace as a servant to the first luna queen. Sebastian’s mother. Because of her time in the palace, Naomi’s mother knows things and has seen almost everything. Including Sebastian’s first love. Emily was a young girl that dated Alpha King Sebastian
Hannah’s POV Growing up, I spent a lot of time in and out of the hospital because of Liam. I grew fascinated with nurses and doctors; I thought of them as modern-day superheroes. The amount of work they did to keep my brother alive was unbelievable. My mother worked as a nurse at the infirmary in the rogue town we lived in. She was a healer and I admired her more than anything because of that. I always wanted to help her, and I grew fascinated by how it all worked. After she died, I was all Liam had. I didn’t have enough money to continue his treatments on my own, so my father paid for his medical bills. The only problem with that was that my father wouldn’t allow me to see him when Liam was in the hospital. He hardly let me see him when he was home too. He would be barricaded in his room and only have my father and Naomi around to care for him. They kept him away from me so they could use me however they pleased. I always felt so helpless that I couldn’t be there for my brother. I
Nancy’s POV Nancy stood in the corner of the library; a darkened shadow covered her, so she was out of view from Hannah and Dr. Davis. She watched them from a distance as they huddled with one another and talked in low voices. A furious rage went through Nancy as she stared at her beloved, smiling and laughing, at that omega bitch. Everyone in the hospital knew that Dr. Davis was off limits to everyone except her. She’s worked with him for years and she’s always wanted to be with him. He was one of the toughest doctors in the kingdom out of all the hospitals. He was always so serious and rarely ever smiled. He was all about his work and his research and he never wanted to be bothered by anyone. He never took the time out of the day to help others, which is why it was so surprising that he volunteered to be Hannah’s teacher. As soon as he saw her standing in the lobby of the hospital, he requested that he be the one who supervised her. Nancy felt a rush of jealousy flowing through h
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
