I close the door to the twin’s room quietly behind me after putting them down for the night. I stretch my ears out to listen if I could hear Sebastian in the house. As if he knew I was looking for him, I heard a chair scrape in the kitchen and he came around the corner.“They asleep?” He asks. I nod, moving away from the door and coming towards him. “Tell me about your day.” He says, pulling a chair at the table out for me as he sits across from me. I feel my heart warm at the weirdly domestic moment we were sharing right now. “Uhm… well. I talked to my wolf, finally.” I smile a little and flick my eyes up to meet his. His expression changes into one of excitement and I feel my stupid heart skipping a beat. “Did you really? What did you guys talk about? Do you know why she left you in the first place?” I feel my face heating up in a blush at his last question and I awkwardly scratch the back of my neck. “Well… we mostly just talked about everything she had missed.” I say, trying
The next couple of days I spent looking for a key to Killians prison. Despite the constant distractions Sebastian was throwing at me, I hadn’t forgotten why I had come back in the first place. Killian was my ex husband, my cheating one, but he had been manipulated and lied to just like I had, and I couldn’t just leave him locked up because he was an idiot who thought with the head in his pants instead of the one on his shoulders. For all I knew Sebastian was planning on keeping him locked up forever, just to spite him for stealing his mate. I searched his office as often as I could, but I was only able to glance around when he asked me to bring him something, or dig through a drawer when he asked me to grab him some document. My searches were fleeting and brief, but hadn’t found anything yet. Despite the fact that I was plotting against him, he seemed to be trusting more and more. He no longer had the two guards standing by the front door whenever he left, and I hadn’t seen Alice
“What the hell are you doing here?” I scoff at May. I hadn’t seen her since I had gotten kicked out of Killians pack, and I knew one thing for sure had changed since then: I wasn’t near as broken. I felt no need to pretend to be nice to her like I’d once had to do. “I could ask you the same thing.” She says with a smirk, looking at the padlocked door. “ I guess you were the one who broke it in the first place, huh?” She asks with a raised brow. I feel myself panicking a little. How long had she been here? How much did she know? My first break in had been days ago, he hadn’t been here the entire time, had she? “I really don’t understand why you’re here.” I say, eyeing May as she walks closer to me. I narrow my eyes in on her, watching her every move. I don’t like this woman. I hear my wolf say in my head. I completely agree. While Alice was in the junior leagues of homewrecking, May seems to be a professional at it. I felt like she’d manipulated both me and Killian, and we had pla
I watched as Everly snuck through the basement exit, our children strapped to her back. She had come here tonight to try and rescue me, but didn’t have a way to unlock my prison. I was left to simmer in my own worried thoughts for the rest of the night after she’d left. I hoped she had gotten to Lucas okay, and that he would keep her away from Sebastain and his pack. I didn’t want her coming back here for me, more than anything. I still cared about her, and especially about our kids. I just wanted her safe even if that meant I had to stay locked up.The next day Sebastian had walked down the basement stairs, a cocky look on his face. I eyed him suspiciously, wondering what he was up to. He stopped in front of my prison, his arms crossed as he stared at me. I raised an eyebrow as the silence stretched on. “You wanna tell me what happened to the door to the basement?” He asks finally. I didn’t know exactly what Everly had done to get down here, but I had heard a loud crash right bef
I hadn’t given control over to my wolf in a really long time. She hadn’t even had a chance to stretch her legs in years, but now I was fully buried inside her mind, letting her call all the shots. I hadn't known what it felt like to be an animal on all fours in so long, it was honestly a little strange at this point. I hadn’t felt the emotions and thoughts of another soul inside me since I was in college. It was a bit overwhelming as I tried to get reused to the feeling. Despite her rusty experience these past few years, my wolf was now in full control, as she was getting dragged by the back of her neck, half conscious to somewhere unknown. I can feel everything she’s feeling all over again. Her emotions flow through me as our souls intermingle once again.She’s pissed at the men dragging her. At Sebastian, for stealing her kids and betraying her. She’s mad at Killian for ever cheating on us in the first place, because if he had never done that, my life would be totally different
“Has she been fading in and out of this all night? “Yeah, since she was dragged down here by you fuckers.”My eyes finally peel themselves open after refusing to budge for what felt like an eternity, but was apparently only a night. My body hurt, my head was pounding, and I think I had a broken rib. Someone was touching me, squishing me and poking at me. “She was too injured to maintain her wolf form, so she definitley has a concussion bare minimum.” “Makes sense since it looks like someone knocked her over the damn head.” “I’m just trying to help.” I look up to a slightly familiar face peering down at me. “Who…” I try to sit up, but fail and let out a strangled moan of pain. “Killian?” My eyes search desperately for him, because right now I don’t trust anyone else. I groan a little when I can't find him. “Do you remember me?” I focus back on the man in front of me, and I try to think. “You were the doctor who warned me about the food, right?” I finally say groggily, trying
“Don’t pull her hair, you’ll hurt her.” I hear a male voice saying in a scolding tone. God, why did my head feel like it’d been tap danced on by an elephant? My ribs didn’t hurt nearly as bad as last I’d been conscious, but they certainly didn’t feel great. My eyesf elt heavy and resisant to openng. “Mama.” My eyes start moving finally once I hear a familiar child’s voice in my face.“Ella?” I moan as I finally open my eyes and can see her pretty round face right in mine. I ignore the screaming pain in my body and the protests of Sebastain and another voice to not sit up, and I grab my daughter and wrap my arms tightly around her. I pull her against my chest and hug her, burying my face in the top of her head and inhaling her sweet smell. For just a second I almost forgot about how it felt like my entire body had been steamed rolled over. “Mama!” She says with a happy smile, her chubby arms wrapping around my neck. “Hi baby.” I glance up at where Sebastain is sitting at the end o
“Thank you.” I smile weakly at the nurse who brings me my tray of food around dinner time. Today is my last day here. I’ve been cleared for discharge, and am leaving tomorrow morning, bright and early. Which means I either have to come up with a miracle way to escape with both my kids and Killian intact, or I have to stay here with Sebastain. Because let’s be real, leaving one of my children behind was never an option. I haven’t seen Killian the entire six days I’d been here, but I was told he was alive and functioning, just under lock and key. Sebastian had been hovering around me a lot. Constantly asking how I was feeling, if I was still in pain, if I needed anything. If he wasn’t the entire reason I was laying in this hospital bed in the first place, it might be kind of sweet. But he was, so it was just unsettling. It was hard to tell how he really felt, especially now that I knew he’d been playing me the entire time I thought I was playing him. It was hard for me to accept
