He would cause a scene. I knew it on instinct. In the two weeks since we became fake mates, we had little interaction so I could not say I knew him well but the way his face darkened, even the man giving a speech faltered. He would cause a scene and it would be because of me.I was used to being hum
“Let us start with the oath of loyalty,” the priest said.The coronation began but I could not hear a single word the priest uttered. My ears rang as the crowd almost buried me underneath the weight of their stares. People spoke underneath their breaths, their gazes sweeping me from head to toe. I k
“You will apologize on your knees.” The queen laughed as if his words were a joke but her expression contorted making her laughing face seem more like a grimace.“I am still the queen, you little –“ Someone placed a hand across her mouth to stop her but she slapped the person’s hand away. “How do y
“Was that – was that really necessary?” I asked as we left the throne room. “You are in no place to question me.” The cold words shut me right up. “Right,” I muttered.” Yes, I should not forget my place. I was nothing but a fake mate that he was using to get Scarlett off his tail. “If you think
My hands tugged at the sleeve of Killian’s robes. He was leaning over to listen to the man beside him so he shrugged me off. On another day, I would not dare touch him like that but I was freaking out. My heart threatened to burst and I thought it was due to the poison in my system. I tugged at his
I slept like a baby with no dreams until the lace fabric on my outfit started to itch. My sleep was so peaceful that I resisted the urge to wake up but the itch became worse. I itched the parts of my skin covered in lace as my eyes blinked open. “Do you want me to take it off?” Cool words washed ag
“No.” I raised my head and jutted out my chin. “I don’t want to have sex with you.” Even if he could smell my arousal, he could not confirm it so I lied straight through my teeth. He was the Alpha King while I was a nobody. I did not expect to stand on equal footing with him but he could at least t
Although I acknowledged I was attracted to him for reasons I couldn’t fully explain and I was giddy to do this with him, it didn’t make me any less nervous or embarrassed. I’d never been naked in front of a man before and the way his eyes trailed down my body made my skin redden. “Hands off.” He tu
“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
