“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
I wasn’t actually foolish enough to drink poison. “I am sure you know that whether or not I drink this, you are dead meat,” I chanced a glance at Mary. “I considered making you the head maid but you chose to grab a rotten rope.” I pretended to shake my head in pity. “I was foolish.” Mary had tears
“It’s clear that I don’t think. Aren’t I the dumb one? The only thing I can do is pound my fists like a barbarian!” Flames sparked in her eyes. “If you will –“ “Are you really going to leave me after this? I thought we were friends.” She whirled back with a glare again. “Friends? I have no friends
I was in a ‘coma’ for three days. To keep up the pretence of being half-dead, I never left the room and only Killian, Jack and Harold were allowed in. The physician already realized I was not poisoned but he came and went to maintain appearance. “How is the situation outside?” Killian moved his wor
“But – Please, just take it.” She shoved the bottle in his direction and he growled. “You made an antidote without knowing the poison so you must have been the one who made the poison in the first place. How can you connive with that bastard to kill your own daughter? Even a dog values its young.”
“It’s – It’s dangerous,” Victoria mumbled at the same time Killian shouted. “When will you stop coveting my mate? Is it until I cut off all your limbs and leave them for rogues to feast on?” We all shrank away at the viciousness of his words. He fixed his gaze on Cedric who took a step back, clutch
“It seems you know everything,” she said with a sigh as if she alone carried the weight of the world. “If I answer your question, will you answer one of mine?” I opened my mouth on a retort, to tell her she owed me an explanation at least and I owed her nothing, but she beat me to the punch. “Just o
“I – I never –“ “I am sure you made that poison knowing who Hawke would target,” I cut her off. She bowed yet again. “Even if you say you became Hawke’s puppet to ensure he never went looking for me, I can’t believe you since you are helping him against my mate. Hurting Killian is the same as hurti
“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
