Yeah, noticed this book's reads went up about 20k since the week I was away. Thanks, guys! I appreciate.
“There’s trouble.” It was Victoria that first alerted me to the dangers ahead. “What is it?” I asked, half-heartedly listening to what she had to say. There were stacks of invitations on my desk, newspapers I had no time to look through and tea that had long gone cold. “It’s your – Hawke,” she pau
“No,” I cut her off. “Don’t say the best we can do is hide.” I shook my head, pressing my lips together. “How long do you think I can hide? For the rest of my life? Would I need to give up my identity? Wear a new face as you do? Cut off from everyone I know and love? Do you think I want to give up t
“Here.” Killian wrapped a scarf around my neck. “I do not want you getting cold.” I gave him an incredulous look but said nothing. The days were getting colder but not to the point of needing a scarf. “Take my jacket. Your face looks pale.” He was about to take off his jacket but I could not keep mu
“Let’s not talk about him now,” Killian murmured. “I am in a good mood now so let’s preserve this mood. In a few days, we would have to deal with him again so for now, while we are here, let’s pretend he doesn’t exist.” He grabbed my hands in his. “You and I - Killian and Amethyst, two parts of a wh
“You are hellbent on catching a cold, aren’t you?” Killian muttered while Kalea whined, unwilling to leave the water. He gathered her into his arms but my wolf was stubborn. Rather than go willingly, she suddenly moved, pushing him so hard he stumbled. “Come on now.” He tried again but Kalea wanted
‘Not good’ was putting things mildly. Things were terrible. How could so many things go wrong in the short while we were away? Serena. She was my – friend. She took a step out of the temple after so long all because of me. Although she often threw me off guard with her words, she went to such len
As if things weren’t bad enough, the next day, we received a report from Scarlett’s special warden. It said that she was acting deranged, hitting her head on the ground despite being docile since she was taken in. She refused her meals and for the past two days, she had shifted into her wolf and ref
“S – Sure, I’ll feed you.” I forced my voice to come out stable despite my insides melting from his hot gaze. “What would you like to have?” I asked and he laughed, grabbing my hand and kissing the inside of my wrist. “Do you even have to ask?” His eyes filled with tiredness a minute ago, sparkled,
“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
