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
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
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
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
The angelic music played in the speakers around the pack. The torches were lit along the streets and the moon shone brightly in the center of the sky. A shadow was cast over the edge as the blood moon began to form and once it was fully merged it would be time, and later on when the the blood moon begun to pull from its form the horn would blow- indicating that the Hunt had begun. “Are you nervous?” My little sister, Mathilda, asked me. “Hazel isn’t nervous, sweetheart, this is an honor. One that you too might experience in a few years if you’re lucky.” I shifted on the bed and suppressed the growing anger towards my mother. I looked into Mathildas hopeful eyes and cupped her tiny chin. “I hope you never do,” I said and cast a fierce glare at my mother when I turn my head. If a female didn't have her mate by the time she turned eighteen, she was to be a volunteer for the Hunt. It wasn't her choice but somehow, through the centuries that this tradition had been alive, young g
“There now! Gather around. Accompanied families you make take your positions around the cliff but please do not interfere once Lady Hale begins her evaluation of the girls.” Our family members, the ones meant to protect us and love us, skiped in joy to stand behind the white marker painted in a cir
One by one they were ranked and rated and now Lady Hale stood in front of me. I look down at my feet, refusing to disobey even though it’s taking every one of restraint I have not to raise my head and meet her contending gaze. I hear the faint sound of a chuckle and even then I still don't look up.
When I was ten my mother sat me down, looked into my innocently naive eyes and proudly said, ’Hazel, in a few years you will be apart of our worlds most grandest tradition and be chosen by an Alpha.’ My response was always ’no thanks, mama’. I was happy gliding through life in school, with my frien

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
