Hannah’s POV I hadn’t slept a full night in what felt like a long time, but I was finally able to sleep. Maybe it was because Sebastian was allowing me to return to school, even if it was online courses. Maybe it was also because I finally had a small group of friends and didn’t feel as lonely. Whatever it was, I was glad to be able to get a little bit of sleep. Sleeping beside Sebastian didn’t hurt as well; his body was so warm it was like sleeping beside a heater. He enjoyed sleeping with his arms wrapped around me so he would be close to me. I didn’t dislike being close to him; as worried as I was about this pregnancy and about being around him, I couldn’t deny that Nora felt her calmest when she was near him. His scent was like chocolate, making my heart flutter and my mouth water. He was so deliciously perfect that I found it difficult to keep my distance from him. There’s been a lot of fear when it comes to my relationship with Sebastian. Especially sin
Hannah’s POV My first thought was to call Sebastian and tell him what was happening, but he was in the middle of a meeting, and I couldn’t bother him about this. I felt panic rising through me as I thought about my brother. Dr. Davis told me he was stable; however, he still hasn’t woken up. Something was seriously wrong. He should have been awake by now. Henry was staring around my face for a long while before offering to take me to the hospital. I didn’t have much of an option. He parked his truck nearby and I slid into the passenger seat as he got into the driver’s seat. He didn’t ask any questions until we reached the hospital; the drive was silent as I processed my thoughts. I was shaking in the seat, trying to keep myself from crying. As we arrived at the hospital, we made our way to Liam’s room. He lay in his bed; he was thin and pale. It tugged at my heart to see him like this. He had a bunch of tubes sticking out of him and needles in his arms; he looked so
Hannah’s POV “Thank you for taking me home,” I said to Henry as we neared the palace in his truck. “I could have walked.” Part of me was hoping he would have let me walk; Nora needed to stretch her legs and it would be good to go for a run in my wolf form to clear my head. But that would have to wait till later; Henry insisted that he took me home to make sure I got back safely. He also mentioned he had to get some stuff finished in the gardens anyway. “It’s no problem,” he said softly as he parked his truck. “I’m sorry again about your brother. I hope he’s strong enough to overcome this.” My heart felt heavy because it’s been a lifetime battle with my brother; at one point he was strong enough to overcome anything, but as the years went on, the weaker he became. I’m not sure he had many fights left in him. “I’m sorry about Nancy,” I told him, trying to keep the annoyance out of my tone. She took a picture of us together in Liam’s r
Sebastian’s POV “What are you doing, you fool?!” Eric growled as Sebastian left the living room, leaving Hannah behind. “You are going to let her go to him?! You told her to stay away. Stand your ground!” “We are pushing her further away,” Sebastian retorted, annoyed as he stormed up the stairs. The further he got from Hannah, the more out of it he was beginning to feel. Eric was growing tense and Sebastian knew it was only a matter of time before his madness returned. “We are going to lose her to him,” Eric said; Sebastian could feel the anxiety boiling from within him. “We need to be able to trust her,” Sebastian said as he barged into the bathroom. He needed to take an ice bath to calm his wolf and himself. Eric wasn’t happy with Sebastian’s decision, but Sebastian knew he needed to trust Hannah. She looked worried when she mentioned that Henry mindlinked her. Regardless of what Sebastian said to her at that moment, it wouldn’t do any g
Hannah “What do you mean Sebastian is harming my wolf?” I snapped, refusing to believe his cruel words. I hated that I couldn’t shift and break out of this room; I needed to somehow get out of here and return home to Sebastian. I needed to know what Henry was talking about, but I didn’t want to hear it from Henry. I needed to hear it from Sebastian. “He’s using you to help his wolf madness,” Henry said, sitting down beside me. “Your scent for some reason helps calm him. That’s the only reason he’s keeping you around. If it wasn’t for your scent, he would have killed you by now.” “No,” I breathed, shaking my head at him. “Maybe at the beginning that’s what it was. But it’s different now. He’s different…” “No, he’s not, Hannah,” Henry growled, startling me. He has never rose his voice like this before and I’m not sure how to react to this new attitude change. Henry sighed and his gaze fell to the ground. “He’s dangerous. You must have known from the b
Sebastian’s POV “I want every gamma warrior there is to search this kingdom!” Sebastian roared to his warriors. “I will not rest until Hannah is safe at the palace.” “Yes, sir!” His warriors said in agreement before they departed from the palace. “Alpha!” He turned to see Arnold running through the foyer with Raya trailing behind him; they both looked worried. “What’s going on?” “Hannah is missing,” Sebastian told them. “What?” Raya gasped, covering her mouth with her hands. “She’s not anywhere?” “She has me blocked on her mindlink. I can’t seem to reach her,” Sebastian said, trying not to show them his panic. Eric was itching to escape and roam the kingdom himself to search for their chosen mate. He hated that they couldn’t sense or figure out where she had gone off to. “Maybe you should try to link her, Raya,” Sebastian suggested, eyeing Raya carefully. She looked frightened for a moment, but then that turned into determi
Sebastian “Fated mate?!” Eric roared as they returned to their minds. Sebastian shoved the scepter into his desk drawer, and he could feel his heart pounding against his ribcage. He knew where Hannah was located, and he wanted to go here and get her. But he saw that she was already heading home. It didn’t sound like she believed much of what he said, which was good. But still. Fated mate. Could Henry really be her mate? “Impossible,” Eric growled from within him. “We marked her. She’s, our mate. Whatever mate pull there was between them is long gone. There’s no way in hell it’s possible.” He knew his wolf was right. “Beta Arnold,” he said in a mindlink. “Bring the men back to the palace. Hannah is on her way.” “Okay, returning now.” He ended the mindlink and made his way into the foyer where Raya was clutching at her phone and typing something energetically. “I got her!” She said with a relieved smile.
Hannah’s POV I felt a sense of emptiness when I woke up the next morning and realized Sebastian was gone. His side of the bed looked so big and empty. It filled me with an inner dread. There was so much I wanted to talk to him about, but I could hardly utter a single word yesterday. I couldn’t believe everything I had found out; or everything that was told to me. It wasn’t making sense, but there was a part of me that believed Henry could possibly be my fated mate. He remembered a part of my childhood that I had never told anyone. Not even Sebastian knew of my heroic efforts as a little girl when I saved that boy. Nora was sensing that Henry was, in fact, my mate, but she was wary of the fact that she can sense it in the first place. She shouldn’t be able to sense anything because Sebastian had already marked me. But then something else that Henry mentioned surfaced in my mind and I grew ill thinking about it. Sebastian was just using me and didn’t really lov
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
