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
Naomi’s POV Everything was going according to plan. From the sounds of it, Sebastian thought Hannah was only after him for money and jewels. Their bond was fading and growing hostile. It wouldn’t be long before he rejects her, banishing her from not only the palace, but from the kingdom as well. Jack expressed to Steven that he was out to take the throne from Sebastian. It seemed they all had a common goal. Jack wanted to get everything Sebastian had, and Naomi wanted to make sure Amy had everything Hannah had. “You could always try to get a hold of Emily,” Naomi’s mother said. Naomi sat on the couch her mother’s house. She was close to her mother and enjoyed getting some insight and gaining wisdom. Years ago, she had worked in the palace as a servant to the first luna queen. Sebastian’s mother. Because of her time in the palace, Naomi’s mother knows things and has seen almost everything. Including Sebastian’s first love. Emily was a young girl that dated Alpha King Sebastian
Hannah’s POV Growing up, I spent a lot of time in and out of the hospital because of Liam. I grew fascinated with nurses and doctors; I thought of them as modern-day superheroes. The amount of work they did to keep my brother alive was unbelievable. My mother worked as a nurse at the infirmary in the rogue town we lived in. She was a healer and I admired her more than anything because of that. I always wanted to help her, and I grew fascinated by how it all worked. After she died, I was all Liam had. I didn’t have enough money to continue his treatments on my own, so my father paid for his medical bills. The only problem with that was that my father wouldn’t allow me to see him when Liam was in the hospital. He hardly let me see him when he was home too. He would be barricaded in his room and only have my father and Naomi around to care for him. They kept him away from me so they could use me however they pleased. I always felt so helpless that I couldn’t be there for my brother. I
Nancy’s POV Nancy stood in the corner of the library; a darkened shadow covered her, so she was out of view from Hannah and Dr. Davis. She watched them from a distance as they huddled with one another and talked in low voices. A furious rage went through Nancy as she stared at her beloved, smiling and laughing, at that omega bitch. Everyone in the hospital knew that Dr. Davis was off limits to everyone except her. She’s worked with him for years and she’s always wanted to be with him. He was one of the toughest doctors in the kingdom out of all the hospitals. He was always so serious and rarely ever smiled. He was all about his work and his research and he never wanted to be bothered by anyone. He never took the time out of the day to help others, which is why it was so surprising that he volunteered to be Hannah’s teacher. As soon as he saw her standing in the lobby of the hospital, he requested that he be the one who supervised her. Nancy felt a rush of jealousy flowing through h
