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
“We greet the Luna,” Ella and Sabrina returned the next morning.“Raise your heads,” I muttered. It felt icky saying words that I wasn’t qualified to say but it couldn’t be helped. I was now the official mate of the prince and this evening, I would meet with his stepmother.“Luna, did you sleep well
My cheeks burned at the shameless way he rubbed his cheek against my palm. This man was as accomplished in acting as he was in slaughtering. Even I felt my heart shiver at his affectionate tone and gesture.“Come on, let’s go inside. I have something for you.” With that, he tugged me back to his roo
*KILLIAN*“So you found your mate,” Orion said, tapping his feet.“Yes,” I answered without fail.“Anyone I know?”“I am unsure.” Would he remember the girl who fainted in front of the royal carriage and then crawled into our luggage a week ago? It would be surprising for him to forget.“Why have yo
Seth, my late brother, never argued his betrothal with her. He had no reason to be wary of her father’s influence spreading if she became the Luna Queen since his mother was powerful. A man building from the scratch would become a puppet for Alpha Hawke and Dark Moon pack if I gave them the seat of
“You are arrogant,” the queen said. Those words again.On instinct, I knew she didn’t like me. Not everyone had to like me but I would gain nothing from making this woman my enemy.“So I’ve been told,” I responded with a smile. “It’s an honour to stand before you.” The words were flat and insincere
“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
