What if I flopped? I felt like a fraud and at a point, I stopped speaking. The priest glared at me and Killian tapped me. “Sorry – Please – Please repeat that.” He tapped his feet as he repeated the oath. “I swear before the goddess and her people to carry out my duties to the best of my abili
Naturally, after my coronation came a parade through the capital and then a lavish banquet. The streets were decorated with gold and purple and it warmed my heart that so many people came out to watch the parade. They knew my name – they chanted my name on the streets, threw flowers at the carriage
The banquet lasted till dawn but as evening neared, Killian took my hand and I knew it was time to leave. I did not want to leave. This was my party – the first and probably the last time for me to be celebrated in my life and I let Killian know just how I felt. “Do not forget you are still unwel
“Why are you asking me this?” Noah was dead and as members of his pack bonded to him, they must have felt it when he took his last breath and the bond between him and his pack severed. “You are his mate, are you not?” Grace hissed at me, her eyes red. “Where is my son?” “Except the Alpha King
I wanted – No, I needed to get out. Despite the medication I just took, the fever inside me rose to a scorching high. Why did Bella and Grace suddenly come here? I had cast them to the back of my mind and buried their existence but now they came all the way to the capital and I did not need a sorcer
Should I just have her imprisoned for insulting the monarchy? She not only insulted me, but she also insulted my mate. That part made Kalea growl. ‘And what she said about my mother.’ Those words haunted me. I never met my mother and I had worked hard to give her excuses for abandoning me, tel
“She’s waking - She’s waking!” Someone shouted before my eyes even opened. “Shut up.” I recognised the cold voice of my mate. Even before I opened my eyes, I felt his warmth next to mine and I liked how secure that made me feel. “Amethyst?” He whispered my name, his hand clutching mine. “Open
I knew that and it was the reason I chose her. She was only loyal to me because she saw me as having more advantage to her than Scarlett. My warmth towards Sabrina faded already and I now regarded her as a business partner. If I wanted something she could get me, then she would get it and vice versa
“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
