“I know you both hate me and that is why I came to you. I tried to talk to His Majesty but he brushed me off so here I am. My father will use me and discard me once he has what he wants. He would not think twice before going after the king and my feelings are not a secret.” She paused to look me in
“Scarlett Hawke,” Killian growled and the woman beside him took a step away from him. “I greet Your Majesty the Luna Queen,” the woman greeted with a bow. I wished she would disappear from my sight. Looking at her made my wolf growl loudly and my chest tightened even more. The longer I looked at h
“He allowed you to touch him. Why should I hate you for that?” I muttered, unable to look her in the eye. Why would I be jealous because another woman touched Killian? It was – It was not a big deal. I tried to deny it but I remembered how my guts twisted just watching Killian smile at her. It was
I was – nervous. What did he mean by a date? Where would we go? What would we do? While nervousness ate away at my insides, Sabrina and Ella happily decorated me. Even Eliza stopped by to recommend this and that for my outfit. She seemed to think we were now friends after sharing a cup of tea. The
“What are you –“ He cut off my bewildered musings. “You know, they say the first to fall loses,” he started and my brows furrowed. I opened my mouth to ask what he meant but he continued, almost as if in a hurry. “I’ve lost.” “What do you mean?” I could not pull at my carefully styled hair so I re
“He killed her!” Scarlett ran into my arms as soon as I opened the door to her room. “That– That awful man! He killed my mother!” She screamed in anguish. When I walked in here, I had no plans of embracing her. Everyone gave me bewildered glances when I said I had to see Scarlett but no one stopped
“Thank you.” He raised his head. “And I am sorry – For making it hard for you to believe me.” If I asked, would he apologize for the snide comments? For the dismissive glances and disregard with which he first treated me? I did not have time to ask as I had to get dressed as soon as possible to mee
“Is it my imagination or am I not allowed out of the palace?” I asked as I entered my mate’s office. “It is not your imagination.” He looked me right in the eye as he spoke. I opened my mouth to complain but his gaze hardened. “For Styx’s peace of mind, you are not allowed to leave the palace witho
“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
