“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
“What is wrong with you?” An irritated voice devoid of warmth asked.I laughed at my pitiful situation but then choked on a gasp, tears streaming into my mouth. I had a month to get used to this feeling but it was a new and unfamiliar kind of pain. One I knew I would have to deal with for as long as
Recalling the many horrific rumours swirling around the monstrous Alpha Prince, I hung my head as emotions choked me.“What the hell did you just do, Carrot?” I whispered to myself, clutching my head in my hands. “The Luna Queen?” It was a position too high for a rat like me. A position so dangerous
For the rest of the day, I was cooped up in my new room in the main palace. The thoughts that ran through my head were enough to drive me crazy but every time I felt overwhelmed by the things happening, I reminded myself that I could now get back at Noah and his pack for all the evil cards they deal
With a start, I realized it was because it made me feel worthless.I never attached my worth to what others thought of me. Despite knowing I was nobody, a person rejected right from conception, I still maintained a bit of my esteem. No matter the situation, I could raise my head even when people pou
“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
