That bastard Sebastain had me locked in his little holding cell for two days before he finally showed up to talk to me. I had no idea what was happening during that time. I had told Everly I would save her, and had even given her a phone with the promise of contacting her. And now I was just as locked up as she was, if not more so.I was hoping Lucas had done something to help her, but I couldn’t blame him if he didn’t. I hadn't even figured out a way to get her out quite yet, so I would understand if he was stuck as to what to do, especially now that I’d been taken into custody. Shit, they might have dragged him in too, or filled his head with a bunch of lies about me. For all I know, he’s switched sides already. I look up from my bench where I’m sitting, my eyes landing on Sebastian as he finally wanders in, looking nonchalant as hell, like he hadn’t been keeping me prisoner in here for days already. He was toying with me just because he could, and we both knew it. “You going to t
An entire day after Lucas had snuck the phone to me, and I still hadn’t gotten word from anyone. No text or call from Killian, nothing. I had already drained a fourth of the phone’s limited battery by checking it as often as I could. I was a little worried about him, to be honest, but decided I could no longer sit and wait around to be saved. If he was in fact in Sebastain’s clutches like I suspected him to be, I might have to be the one who does the recusing.First, I text one of two numbers preprogrammed into the phone, Lucas. I asked him what was going on, and if Killian was okay. Almost immediately, he texts back, telling me he thinks he’s been taken. He said they were supposed to meet after he got me the phone, but he never showed up so he moved to their emergency meeting spot, a hotel room about ten miles away from here. He said he’d been waiting there ever since, but hadn’t heard anything. I had to cut the conversation short then, and shove the phone back under the bag in th
The twins are digging into their plates of cut up food, and I’m setting Sebastain’s lunch down on the table. It wasn’t easy, but I managed to slip some sleeping pills into his food, so in a couple hours, he’ll be out. Me having the pills at all was pure luck; they were left over from when I had the twins. I had a lot of pain after giving birth and had a hard time sleeping, so I was prescribed these. I never even took them, because I didn’t want to be sleeping so soundly I couldn’t hear the twins in the middle of the night if they needed me. I had put a hair tie around my wrist, and secured the capsules on the underside, then when I was kneading the dough for the homemade rolls I had made to go with lunch, I had separated two and dumped the powder into the dough. I had pushed my thumb into the tops of them so I could tell which ones they were.“Honestly I didn’t even know you could cook.” Sebastian says as he appears in the entryway of the kitchen. I shrug a little, and sit down in
I stop at the edge of the parking lot of the OverNite inn, taking a second to catch my breath. I had literally just run ten miles with two children strapped to my back. The twins weren’t very happy right now, but there wasn’t much I could do. I was finally here though, and I pulled my phone out and opened Lucas’s contact. I call him, waiting anxiously for him to pick up. “Hey, you okay?” I sigh in relief when he answers. “Yeah, I’m outside.” I hear him make a confused noise, and my eye is drawn to one of the ground level floors of the motel as the curtains are drawn from the inside. I hang up the phone and approach the room, eager to get the twins off me. “What the hell are you doing here?” Lucas asks the second he opens the door. I roll my eyes a little and step into the room, sighing in relief when I finally get to sit down on the edge of the bed. Lucas closes the door and crosses his arms, obviously waiting for me to explain. “I found where Sebastain is keeping Killian. Bu
Lucas drives me as far as he can to Sebastain’s lands, and I walk the rest of the way. I was glad, because running here the first time with the twins on my back had been a pain in the ass. He didn’t seem like he wanted to let me go, and it was sweet that he was so worried about me, but I had a purpose now. And that purpose was to find out what the hell Sebastain was up to and why there were so many coincidences piling up around him. I wanted to know how he knew May, if he even knew her at all because all of this was just speculation at this point. Lucas knew she came to his pack, but that didn’t mean she was coming to see him for sure. There were lots of people in Sebastain’s pack, and she could’ve been seeing any of them. I had been nervous as hell when I creeped back in the house just as the sun started to pierce the sky, the twins knocked out cold against my back. I was terrified Sebastain was going to be awake, waiting for me or in a furious rage at my absence. But he was liter
I have thirty wolves so far that are willing to oppose Sebastain’s pack.I’m currently sitting in the bathtub, soaking while I text Lucas from my still secret phone. It had been sixteen hours since I’d snuck out, and so far, Sebastian seemed to be none the wiser. He had slept for another eight hours the day I had medicated him, than left a couple guards outside so he could go get some pack stuff done. I had half expected him to come back angry, having found out I’d found Killian and left his pack, but he came back totally normal, telling me about some pack member who was failing at their job. I haven’t seen Alice since I told her I heard Sebastain talking to another woman on the phone late at night, and that was okay, because she wasn’t my favorite person right now. I suspected she was very, very two faced, and wouldn't be surprised to hear she’s been playing me this entire time. I was feeling a little foolish for telling her so much and letting her get so close to my kids. Especia
“So who’s in charge of all your guards?” I ask as Sebastain leads me down a trail through the woods. We had ended up leaving the twins with a couple guards and a maid, because he couldn’t get ahold of Alice. I had felt a little weird leaving my kids with strangers, but the maid at the very least seemed overjoyed to be around the charming twins. Me telling Alice that Sebastain was talking to another woman really seemed to get under her skin, because I hadn’t seen or heard from her since then. I had suspected her feelings for him already, but now I was picturing her stabbing a voodoo doll made of his hair in some candle-lit room while she casts curses. She seemed a little… possessive maybe? Definitely more than a little intense. “Well, my Beta Tanner oversees a lot of them, but he has a few trusted wolves under him he delegates some of his duties to as well, just like I do with him.” He shrugs a little as he answers my question. I think back. I had only met Tanner a couple of times
I sat on my living room couch, the entire house quiet.I had come home with Sebastain, who had left quickly once he’d walked me inside to take care of whatever committee stuff he had. I had asked the two guards and the maid who had been watching the twins if they could take them outside for a little, maybe go on a walk. One of the guards was clearly flirting with the maid, so they all agreed to go, those two a bit more eagerly than the glum looking third wheel. I wanted a minute alone to try and talk to my wolf. I hadn’t talked to her in a few years now, and honestly it’s hard for me to pinpoint when she stopped talking and coming out. Although if I was really honest with myself, it was around the time I met Killian and turned away my destined mate for him. I had never asked how she felt about it, and I was starting to think that had been my first mistake. Wolves and their human counter parts are not the same soul. We’re two entirely different souls sharing one body, able to turn be
