I went to Killian’s office the next morning and the morning after that. As the days passed, we spent less and less time together so I thought it would be nice to have breakfast together even if it was for less than thirty minutes. “Good morning.” He gave me a dazzling smile when I entered his offic
“N – No?” I pushed away from him with such force that I almost toppled off him. He caught me before I smacked my head against his desk, repositioning me on his thighs. I froze. “You want to do – that? Here?” I looked around the office. “Is there a problem?” He hummed as he burrowed his face into m
Alpha Hawke arrived about an hour after we heard he had entered the Capital. He was still dressed in mourning clothes but he did not look like a man who just lost his mate, rather, he looked like a man who just returned from a vacation. “You are back earlier than we expected you,” I greeted him at
“Right, you need to rest.” He put his hand around me. “Is she alright?” Scarlett asked in a falsetto. Killian spared her a glance but ignored her question. “Maybe His Majesty has decided the kingdom is stable enough for him to produce an heir,” Hawke snorted. He was filled with jabs and sneers tod
Luna Grace was not released. Despite Hawke’s furious threats, she stayed there for three extra days and Dark Moon had to pay a hefty fine to get her out of the dungeons and now they had treason on their record. It was a light punishment compared to what Killian planned but we had to tread carefully
He mumbled something with a sneer before responding. “I got your letter. Aunt Victoria is here?” He reminded me of the source of my irritation. “In the palace?” “Yes, she’s here.” I was under the same roof as my mother but she refused to see me. We hardly crossed paths but when we did, she excused
She met my gaze for a second before turning and walking away without a backward glance. My lips quivered so I bit into my bottom lip, clenching my fists at my sides to hold myself together, to stop myself from screaming. An invisible hand squeezed my heart and my stomach felt light and empty. A fami
“It’s no use. She hates me and even if she tells me why, what would I do?” Try to remove whatever it was about me that made her hate me but she hated me since I was born so what chance did I have of pleasing such a person? In the end, we both went back to our duties. I couldn’t forget the bitter en
“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
