Hannah“Do we know for certain that this will work?” Sebastian asked looking over Gemma’s shoulder to peer at the book. “How do we know it’s safe?”“We won’t unless we try,” I said. “Sebastian, we must get this portal open. We need to get our wolves back.”“But we have to be smart about it,” Sebastian said in return. “We can’t risk the rest of the kingdom.”He was right; if this didn’t work and we released the vampires upon our lands, everybody would pay the price. I looked at Wren who was now staring at me; she had a small smile on her lips, and it tugged at my heart. I loved her so much. I never wanted to put her in any kind of danger; what was the moon goddess thinking when she appointed Wrenley as the main key? This wasn’t making any sense. Why did she choose us?I wish more than anything that I had Nora with me; I felt so defenseless. “It’s a ritual I can do,” Gemma said staring between the two of us. “I just need some supplies, but I can do this ritual. I’ve spoken to the moon
HannahThe hooded shadow figure. How long has he been there? He must have been the same shadow figure that Dr. Davis saw leaving Liam’s room before Liam went into his coma. Maybe even the same shadow figure that Sebastian saw torturing Liam in the underworld.I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat and wrapped my arms tightly around Wren; I was shielding her from what I was seeing in front of me. This figure seemed to be floating almost; it was clear that it was a dark cloak, but the person inside the cloak remained faceless and blended in with the darkness that traveled behind him.How could it be possible that he was here? “What do you want?” I asked, trying to remain strong and keep myself calm. “Why are you in my brother’s room?”“Because I knew this was the one place I could find you,” he said in return; his voice sounded familiar to me and not at all how I would imagine it to sound. “I’ve come to warn you.”“Warn me about what?” I demanded to know. “Tell me what you did
Sebastian Sebastian felt like his body was being electrocuted. His entire body jolted in pain, and he nearly tumbled to the ground; however, he maintained his stance. He gripped the ledge of the stairs, holding onto it tightly until his knuckles grew white. He gritted his teeth and clenched his jaw, trying to take in a deep breath as another jolt of pain took over his body.He tasted blood pooling in his mouth and dripping to the ground, forming a puddle around his feet.“What the fuck is happening?!” He growled; the pain was nearly taking over his entire body.He didn’t want to let anyone else see him like this and he would be damned if he remained where he was knowing that his gammas and alphas were lurking around the palace.“If I had to guess, I would say it’s whatever they are doing to your wolf in the underworld,” Gemma said, rushing toward him with a towel.The towel was warm, and it felt nice as he covered his face with it, allowing it to soak up the blood that continued to p
Hannah“A vessel?” I asked. “That’s what Gemma was saying he wants to turn us into. You think Henry is already a vessel?”“It only makes sense,” Sebastian said in return. “He’s a powerful and dangerous being, but he can’t come to our land on his own. He would need a different body to come to this land.”“So, that would mean, Henry was actually Xander?” I asked; I didn’t want something like that to be true. I didn’t trust Henry, but the thought of him being the vampire king this entire time was unsettling.“There’s no way to know for sure until we get the portal open and go to the underworld ourselves,” Sebastian told me. “But we need to be prepared for anything.”“That’s what he wants to do to us?” I asked, peering up at my husband. “Take over our bodies so he can control both the werewolf territory and the underworld?”“We aren’t going to let him get the chance. But first things first, we need to get our wolves back.”I nodded in agreement.“Hannah!” I heard Raya’s voice coming from
HannahGemma and Sebastian were already waiting in the gardens when we arrived. As I approached, I saw that Gemma had the spell book in her hands and she was studying it carefully. I couldn’t help but notice how nervous she looked. I couldn’t blame her for being nervous. This was a huge thing she was doing, and it was incredibly dangerous.Sebastian on the other hand didn’t look worried; I admired his bravery, and it made me feel confident that we will be able to do this mission with ease. Gemma started to make a large circle with the sage as the sun completely set and the full moon came into view. I knew time was running short and within a few hours, the vampire king would start his ritual as well.I stood beside Sebastian who wrapped an arm around me, holding me close to him. We watched as Gemma lit a match, throwing it at the sage that she sprinkled around the ground. Before our eyes, the sage lit up into beautiful orange an
Sebastian Hannah had disappeared once the blinding light appeared. Sebastian couldn’t see anything, not even his luna and daughter. But he knew they were still nearby because he could feel them. He reached out to grab her, but he was only met with air. He felt the heavy energy of the moon goddess circling him and protecting him; he only hoped that she was protecting his family as well.The moon goddess had obviously chosen them to be together or else they wouldn’t be the three keys that opened the portal. That explained the prophecy, but it was still odd that Hannah was only his chosen mate.He finally got a glimpse of her running through the blinding lights with Wren in her arms. He wanted to run out toward her, but he knew she was running Wren to safety, and he didn’t want to distract her. Raya was waiting with open arms and ready to take Wren away from there. He felt a strange pull toward the moonstone scepter that he had d
Hannah“Liam…” I breathed again; my brother stood before me at the doorway with his boyish grin.He looked well; he didn’t look like someone who’s been tortured for months, and he didn’t look ill. I found it hard to believe that this wasn’t his actual body and that his body was on our land in a hospital bed decaying as time passed.My body finally unfroze, and I ran to him, wrapping my arms tightly around him and holding him close to me. My little brother was with me, and he seemed okay.“I came here looking for you,” I whispered to him. “I didn’t think it would be this easy but I’m so glad to see you.”I forgot how tall my brother is; he towered over me. I was so used to seeing him lying down. I pulled away from him and held him at arm’s length so I could scan his face and his body.“Are you okay?” I asked. “Are you
Sebastian “Where’s Hannah?” Sebastian demanded to know.“All you need to know is that she’s safe,” Xander said, his tone darkening. “If you knew what was good for you, you would leave here now.”“I’m not leaving without her. Bring her to me.”“I’m afraid she’s busy right now,” he chuckled. “But as I said, she’s perfectly safe. My servants have orders to keep her protected at all costs.”“What is it you want with her?”“I think you know exactly what it is I want,” Xander answered. “Once I’m in complete control of both our territories, I’m going to need a queen to rule with me. That’s where the lovely Hannah comes to play.”Sebastian felt fury rising through his body. There was no doubt that if he had his wolf, he would have lost control by now.“
