“What – in the goddess’ name is going on here?” Orion and other guards rushed into the forest, pausing when they saw the king and I with the spectacle behind us. “Who? What –“ The beta stuttered. “Clean this up,” Killian said, linking our fingers. “Your Majesty – Who? Shall we send word –“ Or
I was thankful that the work of the Alpha King called Killian away before he kissed me because it gave me time to gather my thoughts. Killian was my mate. Our sham of a mating had become true. The other day I was talking about setting a time frame for our contract, thinking he would find his mate an
“Correct.” My heart pounded faster. “There is no need to be afraid,” he said. “I was not sent to hurt you.” “So – What do you want from me?” I stuttered, pressing my back into my seat. The confirmation of the thoughts that had circled my mind in the past terrified me. My brain ran amok putting
I had been born, it seemed, with a raised death flag. “You are nonchalant about all this,” I muttered, then sighed. He could be nonchalant about all this because they did not affect him. I was the hybrid, the one with unknown origins, and the one who could be hunted down by mages who consider
“I have to go.” He stood abruptly. “Oh.” I rushed to stand too. “When next will we meet? How do I contact you?” “This – I will have to consult the elders about your case. Before next week, I will contact you,” he promised. “ You will teach me to activate my magic, won’t you?” I asked as sha
Sitting in a meeting with corrupt old men while my mate went around without a mark made me itch. I made excuses for her because I could see she was not ready. I took to avoiding her because I felt how wary she had become of me. It may be fear induced by how cruelly I had killed her first mate or som
Without attending these meetings, how could he solidify his position as a leader? If he could not represent the New Alphas here then they would be quick to choose a new leader. “As the Alpha King, my word is the law and this meeting is over.” I got out of my seat and exited the hall, leaving the me
When Killian entered the room, I felt he must have heard me bragging to Scarlett. The heat in his eyes had me dropping my book and crossing my legs, my mouth drying. “You – You are back early,” I muttered as he shrugged off his coat. “What are you reading?” He asked, walking over to me. Only t
“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
