HannahSebastian and I didn’t waste any time as we returned to our bedroom. Wren was sleeping comfortably in her new crib, and we had some time before Raya and Arnold would show up for our feast later. It’s been a while since I’ve been alone with my husband, and I couldn’t help the excitement that coursed through the insides of my body.I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks as I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him down to kiss me. His tongue explored my mouth with hunger. I breathed him in, basking in his scent and drowning in his aura. He pressed me firmly against the wall and pinned my arms above my head. He trailed his kisses down the nape of my neck, licking and nipping at my flesh as he made his way over my shoulders and across my chest. I felt the fabric of my shirt tearing away and landing on the ground, exposing my bra to him. I gazed up at him, breathlessly. I could see the scarlet forming in his eyes, and I knew his Lycan beast was taking control. I grew excit
Hannah“Your solution is to kill my brother?” I asked in disbelief as I stared at my husband. He sighed and sat up in bed; I could tell from his face that this wasn’t something he wanted to do. But I was in such shock that he would even come up with something like this. “You know how much my brother means to me, Sebastian.”“No, my solution is to save your brother.”“By killing him?”“Right now, his mind is trapped in the underworld. Unless we can get him out, we might not have many options. Gemma mentioned that it needs to be done by the full moon, or he will be trapped in the underworld forever,” Sebastian explained. I could hear my heart breaking in my chest at the sound of that. Sebastian placed both his hands on my shoulder, and I met his eyes. “Hope is not lost; she might think there are no other ways to help him, but clearly she doesn’t remember whom she’s dealing with.”“You think we can find another way to help him?” I asked, tears welling in my eyes. He leaned down and kisse
Hannah Sebastian has been quiet since dinner. Well, since he and Arnold spoke in private.“I know when you’re hiding something from me,” I said, sitting beside Sebastian on the greens of the grass. “Whatever it is, I’d prefer if you just told me. We can figure it out and get through it together.I held Wrenley close to my chest as I spoke to him; she had fallen asleep long ago. The peacefulness of the atmosphere made me want to fall asleep as well. My eyes were heavy; I didn’t realize how much of my energy having a baby takes. Sebastian had the idea to enjoy some time and fresh air at the local park after dinner concluded.The sun had finished setting and the moon has risen to the top. It was nearly in its full shape; less than a week away from the full moon. My heart sat heavily in my chest as I thought about the full moon; that meant Liam only had a few days before he was doomed to be tortured by the vampires for eternity.“We don’t need to talk about it right,” Sebastian said afte
Sebastian The pained expression on Hannah’s face pained Sebastian’s heart. But she must know he was only doing this for her own good. The gamma and alpha trainings are no joke; it will be dangerous and violent. That’s not something he wants to subject his luna to. She said nothing more about the topic and scooped Wrenley up into her arms before heading back toward the palace.He found the night to be sleepless. Hannah seemed to be sleeping beside him soundly, but he couldn’t even get his eyes to close. The thought of Hannah being amongst the trainees was ridiculous.“Our chosen mate is a stubborn one,” Erik said fondly. “She will figure out a way to bend the rules whether we like it or not. We might as well just give in to her wishes.” “Have you lost your mind?” Sebastian growled to his wolf. “I would never forgive myself if anything were to happen to her.” “She survived a long time on her own. She has been fighting since before we met her,” Erik reminded him. “She was right when s
Hannah“Dad,” I said in greeting as he made himself known to me. It’s been a while since I saw him.“I saw you had a baby. Will I be meeting my granddaughter soon?” My father asked as he came closer to me.I stood my ground; not going closer to him, but not backing away either. Pressing my lips firmly together I folded my arms across my chest. “You will not,” I told him. “You are here to train under my husband so you will be prepared for the impossible. Nothing more.”“You keep my own son from me and now you’re keeping my granddaughter from me too?”I didn’t like him bringing up Liam like that, but I kept myself calm knowing that we weren’t alone in the foyer.“I would appreciate it if you stayed clear of my daughter,” I said, trying to sound as unbothered as possible.“You’re definitely your mother’s child,” he muttered, turning away from me to join the other alphas. I stared after him in dismay. Sebastian was by my side quickly and he was also staring at my father with a frown.“Wh
Sebastian Sebastian stared at his luna for a long while as she processed her own thoughts. He wasn’t sure where this nonsense was coming from. She was saying he was supposed to marry Amy, but he knew for a fact that it wasn’t true. The elders would have told him long ago that he made a mistake.“I lied to you,” she said, keeping her tone low and soft. “I’m so sorry.”“I’m still not understanding,” he said, placing his hand on her back. She seemed to relax under his touch as she glanced back up at him. He could see the tears threatening to escape from her eyes, but she held them back. This was difficult for her to speak about, and it tugged at his heart.“Amy was the one who was supposed to marry you,” she repeated. “She was too afraid and refused to do so. They told me that I needed to marry you if she wouldn’t. I initially refused but they told me they would stop treating Liam if I refused.”He understood now what she was trying to say, however, he also knew that the elders wouldn’t
HannahI went to the hospital to see Liam. I knew he couldn’t hear me, but I wanted him to know that we are doing everything we can to help him. Sebastian was kind enough to give us some privacy, so he waited in the waiting room with Wren while I saw my brother. I sat at his bedside, grasping his hand. I hated knowing that he was being tortured somewhere I couldn’t reach him. I hated that he was suffering so much. Sebastian’s pain has only been getting worse; that meant Liam’s pain was getting worse.“We are going to do whatever it takes to help you, Liam,” I whispered to him. “Just hold out a little bit longer.”The underworld portal was supposed to be sealed by the moon goddess, so I wasn’t understanding how the vampires could have so much control over our people. Maybe Gemma would be able to shed some clarity on us later when she arrives.“I’m not going to let you die,” I said to him, standing from his bed.I went to join Sebastian in the waiting room.“How is he?” Sebastian asked,
Sebastian “I was captured by a dark force and held for decades,” Gemma began. “It wasn’t something I wouldn’t wish upon anyone. I was a prisoner of the underworld; a slave to Xander. He used me as his personal witch. Made me do unspeakable things. I never thought I would see the light of day again.”“How did I not know this?” Sebastian asked, eyeing her carefully. She was quiet for a moment, staring down at her hands.“You did at one point. I don’t know how the portal got opened, but it did and the next thing I knew, you were in the underworld. You battled the many vampires and nearly lost your own life in the process. Xander was so powerful and did something to you that made you pass out. He had a hold of your wolf, and if your wolf is no longer a part of you…”“I become nothing more than a weak human,” Sebastian finished for her.She nodded her head slowly.“He had your wolf, and you had no power against him. Your human body was so weak, it wouldn’t allow you to wake. I was in char
