I cast the first magic I thought of and thankfully, it did not fail. As I had practised creating labyrinths for a while now, the minute I tried, the setting changed from my abandoned room in Red Lake pack to a maze-like structure. The only problem was that I never learnt how to detach myself from t
“What – Who –“ My shoulders shook and ached at the same time. Where was my mate and what was happening to him? “You –“ “I tried visiting your home but the fortifications were a bit extreme,” Samuel said, taking a step forward. “If you think I would be easy to take down –“ “Why would I want to
“I did not expect to see you here,” the woman snarled at Samuel who came to stand in front of me like a shield. “Anastasia, long time. Still as nasty as ever, I see.” Samuel chuckled, the sound as eerie and off-putting as his voice. “Step aside. This does not concern you,” the woman said. “You kn
“You are awake.” He gave me a tired smile. Although he had washed his face and his eyes were as sharp as ever, it was hard to hide his tiredness. “We have to leave soon but before that, is there anything you want to say to Howard?” For a long time after I left Red Lake pack, I had been consumed by
*KILLIAN* “Protect her,” I told my beta who nodded. I would trust Orion with my life but I could not trust anyone with my mate so no matter how much security I set up as I left the palace, I still left with raging unease. Styx muttered under his breath and paced about as we left our mate behind.
“Here you are!” Victoria found me. “Where is my daughter?” Her eyes blazed with green flames as she glared at me. “Where is my daughter!?” “Come with me.” She was reluctant. Fussy. So I moved to leave her behind. “Don’t ignore me! Where is my daughter? You said you would keep her safe! Why is she
I waited. I did. I waited because I knew I would be in his way. There was little I could do to aid my mate this time so it was best to stay out of the way. So I waited. The first day came and went, as did the second, then the third until a week went by. At random intervals during the day and at ni
The roads were empty as I got out of the coven house and shifted. The moon and stars were the only light that night and they were the only lights I needed. I felt something deep inside me waver and then it seemed to die out. My wolf whimpered and howled silently as we ran until the moon faded and th
“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
