“You are burning up.” I felt cool hands on my forehead. “Leave me alone,” I muttered, slapping the hand away but my limbs were heavy and I didn’t have the strength needed to push his hand off me. “You deceived me,” I croaked, feeling my throat burn.I’d screamed my throat out throughout the evening
‘Stop it, Seth,’ I muttered as Scarlett spoke the same words. All this was familiar and boring even. ‘Face the reality. Killian has loathed your guts since that day and nothing will change. It’s pathetic to watch you pine for a man who would spit on your face if he had the chance.” Smack. A loud
“M – My lady.” Tears rolled down Sabrina’s eyes when we got to the prison. She glanced from me to her brother with a pained expression on her face. “How –““Is everything ready?” I ignored her and turned to the warden in charge of the prisoners.“Yes. He is free to go.” The stout man responded. Tha
“Is it far?” I accepted his hand as he helped me out of the carriage. My legs were in no condition for a trek. “It’s not.” He walked beside me. I could see the inn’s sign a short distance from the dusty road. We entered and the place had at most three guests, all travellers judging by their cloaks
“What’s wrong with her?” I opened my eyes slowly to see Killian and an elderly man standing over me. “I am not quite sure but I have a guess.” An old man clad in cream robes said, adjusting his glasses as he peered down at me. “Ah.” He realized I’d woken up so he stepped back. “You are awake.” Kill
“You do not smell like a wolf.” My eyes snapped to his but I looked away in time. This was the second time he accused me of not being a wolf. His words had plagued me then but I decided they were spoken out of spite but now – I had not shifted but I was a wolf. I had to be a wolf.“What do you –“ I
‘Mate,’ the quiet voice of my wolf said in my head and as if hearing the voice, Noah’s eyes sharpened. “You are a beautiful wolf, Carrot.” He spoke in a cherry tone that spread goosebumps all over my skin. My wolf just saw him for the first time so even though I wanted to run as Noah approached, t
‘What does he want from us?’ My wolf asked with a shudder. “You must be curious about what I want from you.” His lips pulled up at the sides. “It’s simple because you are already on the right path. I didn’t think you had it in you to seduce such a high-ranked man but you must have some secret skill
“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
