We stood in front of the house. The water from the damp grass pressed between my toes and I felt sting from the gras poking into my wounds.Darians men had apparently parked the car further away from the others for some privacy and as they went to get it I saw the other Alphas walk out with their gi
He pulled back and turned away from me as he walked back. But just as he was about to get in, he threw me a devious wink and then took a seat next to his mate.The doors closed, the car drove away and I saw their faces watching me with pity, I saw until I didn't and knew that I would most likely not
It was a long drive, we sat in that car for at least three hours before we reached the border- driving past packs on the way and even a village of rogues setting camp by the forest line.They were allowed to live in packs with a chosen Alpha in peace, as long as they didn't try to uproar against any
My hands started shaking, my feet were tapping restlessly against the plastic mats on the floor of the car and my heart was erratically beating in my chest. Any minute now I would start to hyperventilate, I knew my tells and if my breathing picked up a little more I would have a full blown panic at
My bags were taken from the car and carried inside the house by a large man in a seamless red vest and black undershirt. He didn't speak, not a single word of hello or his name; just a grunt when he closed the trunk. Come to think of it, nobody had said a word to me since I stepped out of the car.
Darian called for the frumpy old lady to show me around and she did, though with a scowl deeper than her wrinkles.She was clear to mention the parts of the house that were too good for my presence, such as the kings office, his bedroom, the meeting hall and then she opted to disclose that the attac
I was still in my white dress. My skin was exposed in more ways than one and Mr Bates was watching every inch of it. My heart was beating in my chest and it wasn't until now that I realized I still hadn't eaten.Trixy hadn’t spoken in hours, I could barely feel her presence so it was just me. Me, a
I woke up in the infirmary unable to move at first. The pain running from my head to my knees was keeping me put and the sheets were stained with the blood from my wounds.The first thing I saw was Miss Elise, she sat on a chair reading a book and she looked calm if it wasn't for her foot tapping aw
Darian’ POVWhy the fuck was her heart slowing down? I listened to every beat and felt myself sinking the more time passed before each one. “Baby, stay with me,” her breaths were so fucking shallow and the doctors and healers were cutting her open to get the baby out but the cord was tangled around
I turned my head and looked at the babies in their bassinet.“Welcome to the world, my angels. Mama’s right here. I’ve got you,” I and turned my head. The ceiling wobbled in my hazy vision.“Come on my love, we’ve got this,” I said and stroked my hand over my belly. Tears streaked down my cheeks and
Two Months Later. “FUCK! Get them the fuck out of me!” I punctured Darian’s skin with my nails when I lifted my upper body off the bed and screamed at the doctor who sat between my legs. She was focused on the first baby’s head crowning. First. And then there were two more. The strikes of pain tha
A gasp peeled from me as I bent over in pain. I had been standing for too long. Darian grabbed my arm and told everyone to continue the preparations, with the housekeepers and maids running around with laters and boxes with trinkets and decorations. He led me up the stairs and got me into bed. “Yo
1 Month Later. “Holy shit! You’re kidding me, did that really happen?” Mathilda screeched and covered her mouth.“Fuck, Hazel,” Gabe winced and stepped back when he heard the news. A trial was held today, where a male member of the Lycan pack had been charged with rape- which meant today when he wa
“Is everything okay?” Darian asked and slipped his fingers between mine, entwining them in a soft knot. I nodded and sighed in contentment.“It is now,” saying goodbye to my parents was the last of a bad year. The amount of pain and grief we had suffered this year, all of us, was beyond my wildest
Another two days passed and the ceremony for the Guards who had been killed was held yesterday. It was beautiful and honorable but when I saw all the families distraught and heard the loud cries, I nearly fell apart. Today was our turn, Mathilda and I were saying goodbye to our parents.The driver t
“Your mother gave you a potion in a needle to stun your abilities?” Gabe was fighting back a growl as he walked in.Darian stood still in the back, equally as angry as his brother but when his eyes landed on me they softened and he smiled as he pushed off from the wall and walked over.Kiera nodded
Darian had to hurry off and help with the cleanup- after which he needed to get word out to all the members of the pack and let them know what had happened. I was aimlessly strolling around the bottom floor, unsure of where to start and what my job was right now. When I neared the door I saw Nora’s
