It was eery and different here, it wasn’t like in the city. They may not have changed anything but they weren't looking after it either, not like they were in other places. The only clean part was the forest line, everything on the other side had grown in and vets had twisted like a wall.There was
We’d just eaten at a steakhouse in town and I was so full that even my breaths were tipping the scale to nausea. Gabe was on his phone half the ride back to the palace and the other half was spent discussing Kiera and how they planned to make the adjustment as painless as possible for her. It quickl
I ran up the stairs and headed down the hallways one after the other. Being mad somehow helped me navigate this place a lot better.Finally, I saw the bedroom door and rushed over, I flung the door open and Darian didn't so much as flinch as I barged in and slammed it shut behind me.He looked up fr
We stood in the room, his eyes on mine as a deep guttural groan escaped his lips and his hands tightened around me.But just like I knew that I wasn't ready to forgive him, so did he and though I loved being in his company for reasons I couldn't understand myself, I couldn’t see a future with a man
We stood in the doorway for a good minute before either of us attempted to move. The silence even grew awkward, it hadn't done that before but I felt like I wanted someone to come and interrupt us because I had nothing to say to break the awkwardness.It couldn't be just words from him, I had to fee
To my never-ending surprise, Mrs. Smith walked in with a phone in her hand and a deep scowl on her pouty face. I bet I could fill the creases of her wrinkles with nickels and they would just stay there.“Your Majesty,” she said and handed over the phone before she walked with heavy steps, swaying he
“How old is she?” I jumped around and saw Gabe barely an inch away, his shoulder brushed up against mine and he was looking at Mathilda and Elisa disappear around a corner.“Thirteen,” I said with a hand over my heart while I steadied my breathing.I remembered her thirteenth birthday, it was a few
DARIAN’S POV“You need to calm the fuck down or you’ll scare her again,” Onyx growled. Like I hadn't thought about that myself.Hazel was sticking her chin out, her brows were pointing down when her frown deepened and I knew that laughing wouldn't make the situation any better but she was too fuckin
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
