Another mad King.
Selena
"Does the baby trouble you?" I turn my head to the right to face the woman responsible for my care.
As far as I can see, she's pretty young, but I've been told that many of the Guardians are hundreds of years old, so I don't dare to question her.
She hands me a pillow, but before I can grab it, she pulls it back and helps me lie down.
"I'm okay; thank you for your care. I really appreciate everything you do for the baby and me," I smile at the woman as she helps me to force the pillow under my back.
"You meant babies," she corrects me.
I open my mouth, but
K. K. WinterHello, dear readers! I'm sorry for missing a few days for updates. Things haven't been exactly good on my end, but I rather avoid the details. What I'm trying to say is that I'm jumping back to a daily update schedule, and hopefully, I'll get out multiple chapters a day. Fingers crossed. Thank you to everyone who's still reading!

The Forsaken Alpha The other baby- he doesn't cry.
Selena If I don't think about the Guardians surrounding me, I'm left alone for the most part of the day. Men don't come near me- only women, and even they stay only until I answer their questions. My life is as lonely as never. Although there are many beings around me, I still feel alone. The Guardians were kind enough to get me cribs and some mandatory supplies for the babies. However, the bigger my bump gets, the more I cry for Kane. I'm just as guilty before him as the Guardians are- we're all hiding from the father of my children. I stare at the tiny beds as a loud hiss leaves my lips. I don't understand what's happening as a couple of women rush into the cabin.
The Forsaken Alpha She wouldn't trade us for someone else.
Kane"You cleaned. No empty bottles; the office doesn't smell like a whiskey factory. Good job, I'm impressed." Cody marches into the office and settles on the sofa."Self-pity won't get me anywhere. If I don't do something, no one will find Selena." I stare at the stack of paperwork that has become a part of my life since I accepted the damn title.After a few minutes of silence, I sigh, drop the pen, and look at Cody, "Alright, you got it.""Got what?""My attention, you got all my damn attention. The paperwork won't do itself, so entertain me, tell me something good. Don't bother saying anything if it's another problem on my shoulders.
The Forsaken Alpha We're here.
SelenaWaking up with two toddlers jumping all over me isn't quite the scenario I once envisioned for my future.The Guardians were right- whatever an Obsidian is, it grows fast. Much faster than any werewolf child I've seen.Within two weeks, the boys have grown big enough to spend most of the day on their own.I named my boys Kaven and Knight. Even though part of me hoped I could make the decision with Kane- the Guardians still claim it's too soon to return home.I'm not sure if I trust the mysterious beings anymore. They share enough information to satisfy my curiosity but not enough to prove facts.
The Forsaken Alpha He'll look for our boys.
SelenaThe voice sounds familiar, but instead of focusing on it, I take a few deep breaths. This is one of the most important moments of my life- I can't get distracted. My boys are counting on me!My gaze wanders around the neat office as I bite my lower lip. The last time I was this nervous was when I moved in with Kane. If he could see me now, I'm sure he'd be proud of me.A few more minutes pass, and no one enters the office, so I sit down in the chair in front of the massive desk.I set my resume on the surface and eye it for the last time. It should be good. Sure, I have no experience in the field, but I can learn quickly, and they're desperate for new employees.
The Forsaken Alpha I can't believe we're related.
Kaven"What's going on?" Knight tugs at the Guardian's shirt until the man looks down at him,"Nothing, Prince Knight." He chuckles as another of his warriors approaches me.A hand lands on my head, and there goes my patience. "If I were you, I'd stop touching me. Unless you don't need the limb," I growl at the warrior, who quickly moves away from me."Now I understand why the Queen claims that young Prince Kaven is a carbon copy of the King. Both in looks and attitude. So tiny and ready to wreak havoc.""Where's mom?" Knight jumps into the conversation. As much as I'd love to show these morons their place, I'm glad my brother interr
The Forsaken Alpha Leran, the kids, they're gone!
Leran povI walk to the others, and they immediately bow to me. For now, until the rest of us awaken, I've taken upon the responsibility of the leader. I can hardly wait for the revolution to finally begin. Soon we'll stand as mighty as we once were. Then, the mortals and the supernaturals will learn their place. Soon.I still can't understand why a human was chosen as the Queen of the last Obsidian King. As vile as it sounds, at least she's naive enough to believe in what I am saying. Bringing her down will be easier than I thought.I stand with the others and think of the sweet victory we will enjoy in a few weeks. We've waited for centuries; a few weeks seems like nothing."I think some of us sh
The Forsaken Alpha Something... anything about the baby?
Kane"Any news about her?" I pace back and forth in the hospital hallway, relying on Cody and the doctors. I know I'll lose my mind if something is wrong with Selena, and since I shouldn't lash out at the doctors, I need my best friend close by.They're trying to help Selena, not hurt her."Right now, there's nothing new. They're taking some blood samples from Selena, and one of the nurses said she needs to rest. I didn't find out more reasons, but the nurse mentioned a bad condition. I don't know where she was, no one really knows, but the doctors say she looks like she was starving. Or the life was sucked out of her. Something along those lines." Cody steps aside to increase the distance between us.
The Forsaken Alpha Between ten and a child.
KaneI leave the nurse behind and trudge out of the tiny office. I shouldn't have snapped at her like that, but it's too hard to keep my temper in check.Cody sits in the chair next to the office, a cup of coffee in his hand.I notice the flash of disappointment in his eyes and groan as I drop into the chair next to him. "Don't start, please, not you too.""Kane, Selena's a fighter; she'll be fine. Just trust me, okay?" Cody tries to comfort me, offering a cup of coffee I didn't notice earlier.I'm not sure if I could get through this crap without Cody. Others view me as a brute, but to him, I'm still the same guy who's been his best frien
