Hannah’s POV “I had no idea she was your luna, your majesty…” the woman said, bowing her head as shame fell over her. Her body was visibly trembling, and she refused to meet my eyes. “It’s just a rule that…” “I don’t care what your excuse is. Apologize to my luna, now!” “I’m so sorry,” she said, lifting her gaze to meet mine. “Please… forgive me…” “This store should be open to the entire kingdom, not just Alphas, and Betas,” Sebastian said before I could say anything in response to her. “Yes, your majesty,” she said, bowing her head again. “I’m so sorry for being disrespectful.” “I won’t allow this kind of disrespect in my kingdom,” he growled. “Of course,” she breathed. “I promise, it will never happen again.” Her attitude had completely transformed; I couldn’t believe the kind of power Sebastian had over others. I watched their exchange with such awe; as did everyone else. “No…” he said. “It won’t. I’ll be sure of that going forward.” She met his eye with worry ev
Hannah's POV “I should go,” Amy stammered nervously as she brushed past us and exited the bathroom at a quick pace. I felt my face heating up as Sebastian continued to stare at me, amusement clear in his eyes. “I can explain,” I said softly; humiliated that he caught me speaking of his bed skills. A low laugh erupted from his throat as he made his way closer to me. What was he doing in the girl’s room anyway? Before I could open my mouth to ask, his hand was pressed against the wall behind me and his firm body was pressing against mine, pinning me to the wall. “What other skills of mine do you like?” He asked, his voice husky. My breathing was caught in my throat. What was he asking me right now? Was he being serious? “He smells so good,” Nora whispered, mesmerized by his nearness. “You want to kiss him, don’t you?” “We can’t…” I said to her; but she was right. His scent was so intoxicating and empowering. I wanted to press myself against him and feel the tenderness of hi
Hannah's POV "Good." His voice was husky and sexy. I closed my and stood on my tippy toes as I pressed my mouth to his. His sexy full lips were slightly hooked. He raised his hand to hold the back of my head, and he kissed me back. Hard. (3 days later) “Liam!!” I screamed as Liam walked into the palace, followed by Alpha King Sebastian. I couldn’t believe he actually managed to get my brother out of the hospital and to the palace. Then again, he was the Alpha King and there wasn’t much if anything, he couldn’t do. I wondered if my father and Naomi knew that Liam wasn’t in the hospital anymore. I wanted to laugh at the thought of their faces once they realized they no longer had the upper hand over my brother’s life. But I was so emotional and happy to see Liam that I couldn’t contain myself. Tears sprung from my eyes as I wrapped my arms around my little brother. He was only 19 years old, a year younger than me, but he still had the mind of a child due to the disability he was b
Sebastian's POV “It’s so beautiful,” Hannah breathed as Sebastian stood behind her, putting the necklace around her neck. Her cheeks were red as she turned to face him. “I’m afraid I can’t take this.” He stared around her serious and worried face with a frown. It was an antique necklace with a history of 500 years; she should be honored to have such a rare are gorgeous artifact. “I’m afraid I’ll only ruin it,” she admitted sheepishly, staring down at her feet. “Try taking it off if you dare,” he threatened coldly. … The car they rode in to get there was waiting for them as they left the auction. Lewis stood outside of the car with the doors open already. Sebastian allowed Hannah to enter the car first before he slid in beside her. A couple of the gamma soldiers were standing outside of the car and by their motorcycles, ready to accompany them and keep them protected from outside. Most of the drive was silent; Sebastian wondered if Hannah was still worried about owning such a nec
Sebastian's POV “Be alert at all times,” Sebastian ordered the gamma warriors upon arriving at the inauguration ceremony. He was invited to attend the ceremony at a public botanical garden. The gamma warriors nodded in understanding as they stayed close to Sebastian. The garden was already crowded once they arrived and one of the public speakers was beginning to make his speech. The crowd parted for Sebastian and the warriors to move through them; being a feared Alpha King, nobody dared to stand in his way. Sebastian kept his eyes straight ahead and only wandered a little once he reached the front of the ceremony and stood in his reserved spot. Along the inner corner of the garden were beautiful white tulips and he couldn’t help but think about Hannah. He remembered her mentioning once that her favorite flowers were tulips. Seeing the tulips blooming in the garden, under the scorching sun, Sebastian couldn’t help but think of Hannah’s sweet and lovely face. The thought almost made
Amy's POV “You betrayed us,” their father said in a low threatening tone to Hannah. Amy couldn’t help but smirk; she didn’t feel bad in the least that Hannah was being scolded. Hannah used her powers as luna to get her brother out of the hospital and placed in the palace. They had just arrived at the palace after her father told Hannah that they needed to speak. Amy was surprised that Hannah allowed them to enter the palace, but she stood before them with her arms folded across her chest and her lips pressed in a thin line. “I’m protecting my brother,” Hannah said in return. “You need to get us we asked for,” their father continued. “Or we will report to the Alpha King that you are only his replaced bride.” Amy wanted to laugh on the spot, but Hannah’s clothing caught her eyes. They were Haute Couture from luxury brands. Hannah wasn’t worthy enough to wear such designer clothing. “I want your clothing,” Amy said, interrupting her father’s scolding. They turned to frown at her, bu
Hannah's POV I sat in my brother’s room; I finally got him to sleep. He broke out in a fever, and he wouldn’t stop trembling. He was crying as I held him in my arms. My heart broke for him, and I didn’t know what to do. The doctor made an appearance as well and said that his condition seemed to be worsening. His current treatment was no longer working, and they weren’t sure what else to do for him. I haven’t stopped crying since my father left. I was too afraid to leave Liam’s room. I held myself tightly; pressing my knees to my chest as I curled up in his bed. “How’s your brother?” Sebastian asked from the doorway. I lifted my body weakly and sniffled. “Not good,” I said, my voice quivering. “He’s getting worse.” Sebastian looked sad for a moment, but then something dangerous flashed through his eyes. it nearly gave me a chill. I remembered how cold he was acting earlier; not that I should be surprised. He was was cruel wolf king. I shouldn’t expect anything more or less from hi
Sebastian's POV For the next few days, after Sebastian spoke to the elders, he started noticing Hannah hasn’t been around often. She avoids eating meals with him, keeps her head down when they pass one another in the palace, and she even bathes and sleeps after he’s already sleeping. “She doesn’t smile anymore,” Eric complained from within him. “That light in her eyes is dying.” He was right, since the other night, Hannah hasn’t smiled. Now whenever she looked at him, all he could see in her eyes was fear. It was like she was waiting for him at any moment to snap and lose control. “That’s not our problem,” Sebastian hissed in return. “She’s the one who’s been lying to us. She’s the traitor and deserves whatever happens to her.” “Then why did we come to her rescue when Alpha Steven was berating her?” Eric asked. Sebastian rolled his eyes. “I already answered that question. Alpha Steven was abusing his powers as alpha. As the king, we can’t stand for something like that.” “You
