I am genuinely scared for Violet. But she had it coming.
SethViolet swallowed, holding up a syringe. "Your queen is in the abandoned underground warehouse."My head spun. That place was out of bounds. It was sealed shut and the key was with me. Which meant she stole it. My lips thinned in anger. "You have a lot of nerve, Violet."She shrugged. "You have to go for what you want, even though it may end up killing you."I smirked. "Glad to know you already know how this ends."She smirked back, catching me off guard. "I know how it ends, but do you?"She waved the syringe in the air, deepening my confusion.Connor sighed. "Don't you know when to stop playing games, Violet? Please surrender. " Connor sounded stressed and I knew how this situation may be taking a toll on him. His mother and sister were on the receiving end of the law he enforced. He had no idea what to do. But one thing was clear. He doesn't want them dead. I was sure Maxwell wouldn't want them dead either. So I had no idea what to do. But one thing was sure. They were going
Naomi"Wake up you stupid bitch!" Sheila roared in my face, and I woke up suddenly, the whole room spinning around while my head ached and my throat stung.My hands were free, and my back was placed against the wall. My hand flew to my becka ad I remembered how Violet snatched my necklace from my neck and fear filled me, but that wasn't the only thing I noticed.I wasn't feeling the immense pain I felt in the past few hours as that dangerous venom made its way to my bloodstream, and my wolf wasn't howling in pain anymore.My hand flew to my belly, making sure nothing was wrong.I wasn't dead, because if this was paradise, Sheila wouldn't be staring at me with a cautious look in her eyes."Did it work?" She asked, her eyes examining me, and I followed her gaze.I checked around to see what she may be referring to. "Did that work?"She rolled her eyes, facepalming. "The antidote, stupid. If it didn't work, you would be screaming the warehouse down by now. Thank Goddess that worked. That
Seth We stormed down to the warehouse and the smell that hit us as we arrived in front of the door was enough to turn my stomach. The key was with a guard, and he stepped forward to unlock the door and the minute the door opened wide, Sheila was in tears while Naomi sat silently, listening to her words. Lies I'm sure she's spewing. Wait… My eyes refocused on Naomi, and I saw she was perfectly okay, she just looked tired. "Naomi. " I breathed, and her eyes widened, just realising our presence. Her eyes softened ad they landed on me and took in my appearance. "Seth." She breathed out, and in long strides, I appeared in front of her. She was here. I didn't lose her. Taking her hand in mine, I immediately wrapped my arms around her, engulfing her in my embrace. I shook with her in my arms, my wolf howling happily while I fought back my rare tears, one that only came out when I was in situations like these. When I realise how close I was to losing her. To losing my child and to
Naomi "I'm so glad you're okay! I was so scared! We were so scared. Seth was losing it. We had to search for your phone everywhere! What sort of phone lock is that?" Aubrey and Hazel shot me questions as we embraced and my heart warmed at the affection that everyone had for me. To me I was barely gone two hours since I was unconscious all through, but for them it was a lot more than that. A lot more, and apparently, Seth had killed three guards because of me. That made me mad. I was supposed to protect, not cause my subjects to lose their lives. I had to have a conversation with him later. Smiling at my friends, they confided in me all the things Seth did in my absence, and I saw myself thanking goddess I met people who loved me this way. Xander pulled me in a big hug, "I'm so glad you are okay, little sis." His words pulled at my heart strings. Who knew the evil Xander who killed mama had such a good heart? Connor silently spoke with Seth and I watched them, feeling sorry for h
NaomiSeth took me by the hands and into the room, before locking the door.I stood in the middle of the room, and he pinned me with his predatory gaze, taking slow strides towards me as if I was the prey under his mercy.I tried to maintain his gaze, giving him a glare of my own as he stopped right in front of me.His jaw ticked as his gaze dropped to my lips and my tongue darted to wet it unconsciously as I felt increasingly hot and in need, and I wanted to be taken out of this dress I was still in, under his stare.His hand grazed my cheek softly, before sliding to my throat, where it rested. His face dropped closer to mine, and we shared the same breath as our eyes stayed locked."Tell me, baby. Why are you mad at me when I spent the last hours going crazy because I thought I would never see you again?"I swallowed, wanting to touch myself as I heard those words. He was scared. He was scared to lose me. But I wasn't going to give in easily. "I'm mad at you, Seth, but I don't want
One hundred and fifty-nineSeth"You want to hear how I almost lost my mind trying to find you?" I asked, my hand caressing her belly with so much softness, one wouldn't know I had just killed three men and had to do a detour before heading to the warehouse so she wouldn't see the blood I shed for her.She hated the idea of a person losing their lives for her, but I had no other way to deal with the loss.She nodded, her eyes drooping with sleep, but stubborn Naomi wouldn't lose the fight. I caressed her lips down to her neck, where the necklace was absent. We forgot about that. How could we forget about something this huge? I sprang up from the bed, temporarily ignoring Naomi as she proved for ny readon for doing that, and retrieved the necklace from my pocket.Turning to her with the necklace in the air, she gaped and her hands flew over her mouth. "We fucking forgot!"I didn't waste another moment before securing the necklace on her neck, but when that was done, we sat down in sil
Seth"You are an asshole. I wonder who made you king of such supernatural beings like us, when you barely have a brain in your thick skull." Aubrey gritted out, she and Hazel shooting me glares while I looked everywhere except both their judgemental eyes.I told them everything that happened, and Aubrey didn't hesitate before raining much needed insults in me while Hazel silently regarded me with her wise but wicked eyes.I was under a lot of scrutiny and hate here, but I needed it. Because of my impulsiveness and stupidity, I almost cost them their friend turned sister and godchild, and I deserved every bit of the insults they so generously rained on my head."How could you be so careless? You very well know how the beings of this kingdom are! They all want power, and the remnants of the rogue kingdom, we aren't even sure they are dead yet! What about the witches who may want your son's power for themselves, but you forgot to give her just because you weren't happy she was angry with
161NaomiThe minute I left the room in fear, I felt my wolf howl in pain. I forgot my protection necklace because of something trival. I almost lost my child because I was afraid of seth turnbg against me.I survived, but what if I didn't?What if Violet got her way?What if there was no antidote for the poison I as injected with?I could have lost my baby.I could've- I sobbed into my pillow, hating myself, seth, and every other thing.I couldn't make this mistake again, I could never. I knew Seth didn't mean to cause all this, but seeing him was just going to open wounds, and I couldn't look at him without having mixed feelings, mostly anger and hatred.I felt bad. He has his reason for trusting Violet. She's his sister. And despite that, he never hesitated to lock her up.And the necklace was an honest mistake. He would never ever do anything to put me or our child in danger, but it was all too much.I had to stay away from him for a while. I don't want to be reminded of my almo
