It was a long and bumpy ride filled with dread. I didn’t know these men or where they were going but as long as they took me far away from Red Lake, I didn’t mind. It may be foolish and impulsive but desperation blinded me as I hid among their luggage. They had a means of transport and I needed a me
In the Alpha Prince’s luggage, I’d thought of the best way to live life before I got the resources to pull Red Lake to the ground. I planned to work as far away as possible from them, living as if I were dead because I knew Noah would be looking for me.“Amethyst,” I muttered, my head falling forwar
One thing I learnt after a week of working in the Alpha King’s palace was that no matter the place, the treatment for those like me remained the same.“You’re telling me you’ve scrubbed this floor?” The girl who was in charge of showing me the ropes of the job glared down at me as I scrubbed the ban
“I heard something,” the other girl’s voice went lower. “Don’t tell anyone else about it, but I heard the prince has another woman.” Uninterested in gossip, I was about to tune out of their conversation but the next sentence froze my blood. “He brought her to Dark Moon with him. She’d fainted and he
“This – This ‘thing’ is your mate?” Scarlett was the first to break out of the shock that we all felt. I had to crane my neck to see the face of the prince standing in front of me.“I’ve waited so long to meet you.” He took my dirty hands in his. A big smile tugged at his lips but his eyes remained
“What – This –“ Scarlett got even redder. “I don’t believe you!” She exclaimed.“I’ve had enough of this,” the prince’s cold and quiet voice stole the heat from the room. He had a calm face as if talking to a child when he turned to the redhead. “Who do you think you are to question me?” I swallowed
“Why – Why should I lie for you when there’s – there’s nothing in it for me?” I swallowed down a thick lump in my throat as he stared unblinking at me.“You are arrogant.” That damn word again! “Stubborn," he added. "Do you not know who I am? When your betters tell you to do something, you do it wit
“Okay,” I responded after taking a deep breath.This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that dropped from the sky. Some other time I would marvel at how surreal it was to go from being a nobody to the Alpha King’s mate but at that moment, I chose to focus on the magnitude of the opportunity. Every
“Have I ever told you that you are like my fountain of good fortune?” He asked. “Feeling sentimental?” I asked and he nodded. “Very sentimental. I looked at Seth and Victoria today and I just – I could not believe it. As I have told you, most things in my life always go wrong. A family is somethin
“Seth, mama and dada have something for you,” Killian and I said to Seth one day. “Is it a baby?” He asked with wide eyes. “Yeah,” I smiled at the little boy and his eyes lit up. “Really? There’s a baby? Where my baby?” He looked around, jumped up and circled us as if we were hiding a baby behind
When we named him Seth, it was in remembrance of the only family Killian ever had before I came along but Cordelia seemed to think it was for her. She begged for my baby’s forgiveness to the point where I got uncomfortable and walked away with him. He may be named Seth but it did not mean he was a r
“Killian, the baby is here!” I screamed, startling my mate. “What?” His eyes widened and his fingers paused buttoning his shirt. “Where is she?” It was a funny question but I did not have time to laugh so I swallowed thickly and tried to waddle to the delivery room next door. “Hey, where are you go
“I am not sleepy,” I said and he pursed his lips. “Can I read a book at least? Or – Or we could choose baby names together.” I gave him a hopeful look. Since Killian found out I was pregnant, he had all but forbidden me from doing anything asides existing but when I talked about baby names, he lit
A few days ago, Hawke was found dead in his cell after weeks of him trying to eat himself as he turned rogue. In the early hours of this morning, Luna Grace ended her life by repeatedly stabbing her throat with a fork until she bled out. That was after she spent the past week screaming and crying ou
“I said the same thing!” She exclaimed with an awkward smile. While she stared at me without saying anything, I tried my best to make my brain function properly. “What do you mean – pregnant? I – What?” My mouth dropped open and the towel in my hand fell to the ground. “A baby?” At that moment, I h
Hawke would not be the first Alpha from Dark Moon that dreamt of taking the throne for himself but he was the most brazen of them in all of history. Dark Moon had a penchant to feel superior and my father let this one’s bravado grow. “Are you done gloating?” He asked and I laughed. “This would be
*KILLIAN* Despite the mountain of work awaiting me, I squeezed out time to see Hawke. For a long time, I pondered how to clip his wings, how to bring him down from his high horse and see him suffer. Having him where I wanted him made my steps light and my body weightless. His gaze burned into me w
