“First, let me apologize for Cedric. There is no excuse for what he has done but I need you to know that indeed, I asked him to bring you here.” I glared at the woman. “There is no point in denying that it would be best for you to return to us. We are your family and we can only protect you when you
“Again, I am terribly sorry.” Cedric continued to apologize throughout the ride back to the palace. I ignored him. He was callous enough to make me sick and worsen my sicken with a fake potion which I thanked him for. He deceived me and he would not be apologizing if I never found out. Rather tha
“I can explain.” I swallowed at the raw anger in his eyes. My wolf whimpered and I took a step back, prepared to flee. He looked calm, unfazed even, as he watched me, but his darkened red eyes showed me all I needed to see and more. Death would be too harsh a punishment for Cedric, even consideri
*KILLIAN* “I thought you were better than Seth but you are just as foolish as he was,” the redhead across from me threw her head back and let out a peel of scornful laughter. “Killian, I have loved you since we were kids.” “Scarlett Hawke –“ She cut me off. “What makes me unworthy of your af
“I swore to protect her,” I muttered. “I have to protect her.” “From the mages?” Orion frowned. Not just the mages. “Are they after her?” I also had to protect her from myself. “I have to protect her.” But how would I protect her from myself? The emotions swirling in my guts were dangerous. “H
I made it to the front page of every single newspaper. The entire kingdom must be talking about me and how I snuck off with another man. There was a comment section at the bottom of one of the papers where people rubbed my name in mud. All the papers talked about how I threw the palace into turmoil
“Did His Majesty offend you?” Sabrina asked after we opened up all the boxes.“N – No?” If any one of us offended the other, I would assume I was the offender and not the offended. “I – I mean is today a special day?” I regularly paused after opening each present to read his letter and as I read it
“I greet Your Majesty the Luna Queen.” She bowed her head and my wolf growled low in her throat. “I do not remember inviting you,” I said in a low voice. “Pardon my brazenness.” She did not lift her head. It was a ridiculous appearance for such a proud person. “I sought you out because I knew I w
“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
