My eyes drift to the floor and I push a piece of my hair behind my ear, smiling to myself. His feet come into view and I look up, his dark eyes meeting my bright ones.“Hi, Miranda,” his voice is just the right amount of rasp. I hold back a ravenous growl.“Hi, Sebastian,” I breathe out. My body sub
MirandaThe news around Moonlit Labs has been nonstop. Multiple news organizations and stations have been pummeling the company ever since its CEO announced that they will be increasing prices due to “inflation” within the country’s economy. The Alpha King has come out and publicly refuted these cla
“Where are you taking me?” I ask, looking at him as the elevator doors close. He doesn’t look at me, an amused smile spreading across his face.“So impatient...” He murmurs, shaking his head with a chuckle. I roll my eyes and cross my arms over my chest.The elevator doors open and we step into a wa
Lily, Harper, & the AlphaA servant carries a silver tray atop their white gloved hand. They drift through the large mansion. Their shoes click against the marble floor. They navigate through the endless corridors of the home, an unimpressed expression on their face, as they dip inside the large stu
“Your mind has a very active imagination,” Sebastian muses.“I think it is my anxiety coming for me,” I chuckle and he joins me, his hand moving from my chin to cup my cheek.“If something bad were to happen, I promise that I will shield you from it. I will protect you from whoever wants to harm us
MirandaLaughter floats from the party down below. People dance and hug, drinks occupying their hands. The day felt like it passed by too soon but has also lasted long enough to give me memories of a lifetime. It became slightly overwhelming, though, with constant eyes on me and with everyone dying
“Drink to your humble loss, False King,” his gravelly voice calls out. he gestures to the glass, waving his hand. “Drink! Your king demands it!”“As you wish, your Highness,” I nod and raise the glass in the air, tilting it towards him. The cool rim connects with my bottom lip. The liquid burns down
SebastianNot being able to look at Miranda during my dinner with the Rogue King is torture. I can feel my muscles tense every time he laughs and yanks on her chain. Whenever a look of pain flashes across her face, I can feel myself growing more and more angry. I have to hold back the urge to not lu

“Which one?” I turn my face back to his. “You’ve sent plenty of them.”“The one where I asked you who you would rather save,” he leans forward. The metal on his uniform clangs against the metal of the throne, his bones loudly cracking. I hold back a flinch, the sounds sending chills down my spine. “
SebastianTwo large Delta officers sit beside me. Their gun muzzles are aimed at the roof of the car. The car is wide enough for all of us to fit comfortably and is built for city based warfare, but the bumps on the dirt road cause us to bump into each other. It’s way too close for comfort.“Alright
“I knew that would come back to bite me in the ass,” Sebastian chuckles and stands up. He drops my hands and leans against my desk. I’m quick to move the papers out of the way before they can crinkle or rip.My employees deserve that.“You can handle yourself, no?” Dissatisfaction is prominent in my
