Something sharp was puncturing the first layer of skin on my inner thigh and I gasped when the pain flooded my senses.“Darian,” I quivered.I lifted my head to look at him and saw his sharp fangs extended. “Darian please,” I trembled.He lifted his head, and we locked eyes long enough for me to se
One beat. Two beats. Three beats. I heard my heart beating in my ears, quieting all other sounds- not that there were many. Like a horse race I saw on TV once, the humans loved those, I remember them in the stalls before the doors opened, the signal broke out and the horses took off running like th
Maybe it didn't last long or maybe it rarely happened but she was surely taking advantage of it. Abby cast a soft gaze onto the bed and I felt the blood rushing to my face, heating my skin where the tears had left a cold dry trace. She scanned me for a second before she turned back to Darian.“Be
Darian slid his hand down Abby’s front and between her legs. He started moving it back and forth while her moans were muffled by the ball in her mouth.He pushed the button, I heard the tase and my eyes felt like were bulging out of my head when I couldn't look away. Abby’s head fell forward when he
I couldn't tell you how long I walked the halls before Elise found me. It was embarrassing enough that I couldn't find my way back to my room but when she told me that I was in the wrong wing of the palace I just gave up.She guided me back through the twists and turns of the halls and the stairs, i
Holy shit… I was freaking out, I wanted to turn back and go hide in the room but I couldn’t. It was too late, I was here now and my fate was sealed when Darian raised his head from talking to three members of the council, and his eyes locked on me as though he sensed me entering the room. “This is
I walked across the ballroom, not seeing anyone other than Emanuel and Iliana. Her chest pushed out when she drew a sharp breath watching me fight my way through the crowd. Her brown eyes turned round as they glimmered like a hundred diamonds and she reached out her arms.“Hazel, oh thank the gods,”
Back in the ballroom, the first thing I did was locate Emanuel. He was talking to Alpha Dom and Alpha Eric, two of the most dick-ish men on this planet, and two werewolves I actually wouldn't mind the humans spearing and using in their fields to scare off the birds.The group reeked of cologne and t
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
