Sebastian’s POV “She’s been researching how to help us?” Sebastian repeated, he still couldn’t believe what he was seeing in front of him. A smile was tugging at his lips as he stared down at Hannah; she was sleeping soundly at her computer, not knowing that he was there. Eric was howling and basking in her beauty; she seemed even more beautiful to them. He continued to flip through the pages of her notebook; reading through her bullet points and the many ways to calm the anxieties he faces during his wolf madness. She even listed some of the books that she read through; he was guessing she got those books from the library and wanted to keep track of what she already read. “She’s been at the library a lot,” Eric reminded him. “With that doctor.” “Has she been there researching this that whole time?” Sebastian asked. He felt a wave of guilt washing over him as he remembered how he reacted when he saw her at the library. He forced he

Hannah’s POV I kept the pamphlet in the drawer of my desk at the palace; I hadn’t brought it up to Sebastian yet because I feared what he would say. Nora was upset with me for lying to him, but I didn’t think of it as lying. I just hadn’t told him about it. Yet. I was planning to at some point. When the timing is right. I still had time before enrollment, so I didn’t need to decide right now anyway. So, for right now, the pamphlet will remain in the drawer of my desk until I had the nerve to talk to Sebastian. I stared at myself in the mirror, satisfied with the maroon dress I was wearing. It was a simple, business casual dress, that I got from the boutique that Sebastian had bought. I had my hair tied in a low ponytail and curled into ringlets down my back. Sebastian walked into the room, he was wearing one of his dark suits and had his hair combed out of his face. Of course, he was wearing his mask, which still bothered me, but I made it a point to

Hannah’s POV My lips touched Sebastian’s with a hard force, and I hungrily searched his mouth with my tongue. He wrapped his arms around me and pressed me into the wall, allowing me to do as I pleased with his mouth. I could feel the cold plastic of his mask, rubbing against my features and it was almost uncomfortable, but I tried to push the discomfort out of my mind. I knew at any moment, that Nancy could walk around the corner and see our embrace, but I didn’t care. I almost wanted her to find us. My heart was beating heavily against my chest, and I ignored the evident pain. I traced his bottom lip with my teeth and gave it a playful tug, bringing him further into my mouth. I could feel Nora’s tension easing from within me as we were brought closer together. I could feel the heat from his body radiating off mine, making my cheeks flush as he continued to press himself against me. Trapping me between the wall and his hardened exterior. His biceps were rippl

Sebastian’s POV “I’m scared for these next results,” Emily said, peering over at Sebastian who remained in his seat by her bed. “I’ve been feeling off lately. Lightheaded, nausea, things like that.” “I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about,” he said, keeping his voice monotone. “They will figure something out if it is serious. “What if it’s bad?” She asked, nervousness in her tone. “You already have the fate of death knocking on your door,” Sebastian reminded her. “Can’t be worse than that.” She leaned back in her bed; his words were meant to make her feel a bit better about her test results, but he realized his tone was a bit harsher than he meant it. He didn’t say anything else though; he leaned back in his own seat and stared over at the clock. There was a part of him that kind of wanted to find Hannah and see how she was doing. She’s been acting weird for the last few days, and he couldn’t figure out what was wrong. He knew if he a

Sebastian’s POV It was a new feeling for Sebastian when he saw how broken Hannah had become. There was a painful sensation in his chest and Eric was getting a nasty feeling as well. He wasn’t sure what happened at the hospital to make her go crazy and take off in her wolf form, but he knew he shouldn’t have left her alone with Emily. Nancy pulled him away to discuss some of Emily’s test results. It wasn’t anything serious, so Sebastian was aggravated for being pulled out of the room when he needed so desperately to speak with Hannah. He understood what she thought she saw when she first entered the room. Sebastian had his lips pressed against Emily’s, but he was only giving her mouth-to-mouth. He was certain Hannah understood that once Nancy got there, but she took off so suddenly he wasn’t sure what she was thinking. “Let her go,” Eric said as Sebastian was about to take off after her. It wasn’t like his wolf to hold him back when it came to Hannah.
