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
“This can end now,” Hawke beta whispered to me like the devil’s advocate. My mate was in terrible shape and they knew I would do anything – anything to help out but I was not a fool. If I surrendered on behalf of my mate, all of this would be over – over for us. “What would it be, Amethyst?” He was
While my eyes focused on my mate and my heart raced from my throat, a force like a tornado picked me from the ground and slammed me down. That force turned out to be Hawke’s beta. It was the perfect distraction. I exclaimed in surprise and terror, my heart threatening to burst and it threw my mate
Hands pulled me from behind. Someone embraced me and cried out my name. Dark Moon’s warriors flocked in. Sparks flew as the witches fought with magic. Victoria hugged me and Soleil healed my injuries. The brown wolf managed to get the black wolf off but not without losing a sizeable chunk of its fl
“Don’t move.” A hand pressed me back down as I lurched up with a gasp. I tried to ask why but my throat did not work and my lips could not move. Darkness consumed me after that. Voices filtered into my ears at various intervals but the darkness did not recede. “Don’t move, dammit!” The same voice
An hour later, a short woman with a wiry build entered the room I was resting in. After an examination that lasted less than ten minutes, she nodded her head with a withered smile. “Congratulations, you are indeed expecting.” “Expecting what?” I asked and she laughed. “Well, a baby of course.” I o
My mother. For me, her coven pushed back the date for her burial. The last of her bloodline, I was to bury her. A weak after my mate opened his eyes, she was laid to rest with the rest of her people, next to her parents, in the family tomb. The witches had that. Already decided resting places. I
“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
