“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
“Do – Stop teasing me –“ I looked away from him but he gripped my chin and forced my gaze back in him. “Look at me, queen,” he commanded. “If you take your eyes off me, I may be tempted to tease you more.” I almost closed my eyes but his words were not a fluke. “Oh – Okay –“ I gasped as he pus
I woke up in a different world with body aches all over. I took a deep breath and expelled it before opening my eyes and I caught him staring at me with a heated look in his eyes, a look that made me blush. “Good morning.” He spoke in a small whisper that tickled my skin and something weird seized
“What is Scarlett up to? Ella will be here soon so be quick.” I gritted my teeth as I got out of bed. My legs were wobbly and my vision blanked for a split second as I stood. “My Lady –“ Sabrina rushed forward. “Are you alright?” Pain knifed my insides but I gritted out a smile. ‘It’s the mark
“You want to have the ceremony on Saturday?” Killian asked, his eyes straying from my face to the mating mark on full display on my neck. “Yes. I hope that wouldn’t be a problem.” I touched the mark on my neck, feeling self-conscious. “I am the Alpha King,” he mumbled, glancing at my neck agai
“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
