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
The doctor had been in here and told me about the internal bleeding, broken rib, and the various wounds I had spread out across my body. He told me to be careful like it was my fault and I had fallen from a cliff or something.Maybe that was the lie he was told but I doubted it. They knew what had h
After a run that felt like it had lasted for a week, I looked back to see how far away from the palace we had gotten but my heart sank when I could spot the tower sticking up behind the trees. How in the world was I supposed to disappear in this place?But we didn't slow down and I forced my steps o
“Please! Please, I'm sorry! No!” The faint sounds of beginning brought me out of my violent slumber and my eyes fluttered open but I saw nothing other than blurry lights and the sounds seemed further away when I was awake.“I’m so sorry!” He cried. He wasn't close, his voice came from down a few ha
It had been hours since Darian told the guard to kill the guy who helped me. His screams stopped, actually no, he begged for his life one last time they took it from him and the sound that followed was a metal door sliding shut with a loud lock clicking into place. They had left it open on purpose,
The boys had full heads of hair, it was a pain in the ass to cut it all the time because it fell in their eyes, but it grew like weed on their heads- Kaitlyn’s didn’t, but she had the most beautiful ash-blonde color with caramel highlights that sparkled under the sun. The flowers around us lit up t
3 Years Later. Hazel's povIt was the triplet's third birthday and everyone had gathered in the royal garden. Gabe carried Kane like a purse and spun him around, the two were inseparable. Kaitlyn was Kiera’s new doll, she dressed her and did her hair- not that she had a lot of it but it was growing
We were sitting in the hospital room. Gabe came a few hours ago and Nora pulled a chair up to the bed and hadn’t moved for the past three hours. We were waiting for Hazel to wake up, she was healing quickly and had been given blood all night, she should be good as new before nightfall. I kept going
Zade’s lips pulled in a grin and he rolled up the sleeve of his shirt.“You all might want to look away for this,” he said humbly and reached out his arm. The inked snake started moving, the tail slithered under his skin and the head slowly rose with its split tongue flickering as it fell on the be
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
