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
Hannah’s POV “You didn’t have to get me the hot cocoa,” I said softly as I continued reading through the books. Dr. Davis eyed me carefully, as I took some notes on some natural ways to calm a wolf’s madness. “I know,” he said, narrowing his eyes at me. “But it’s cold out and your nose was getting red. As cute as it was, I didn’t want you getting frost bit.” He spoke softly and he touched my arm as he said those words. I almost felt a bit uncomfortable at the gesture, but I gave him a pleasant smile and we continued our studies. My focus was to find out ways to calm Sebastian, especially during the full moon. If I was going to be married to him, I didn’t want to live my life in fear. I wanted to know he was going to be okay, even when he loses control. A few things caught my eyes as I scanned the books. It was saying that during wolf madness, even if it wasn’t the full moon, he could still lose control if he was too tired. “I think I found something,” Dr. Davis said, pointing a
Queen Magnolia’s POV Magnolia made her way to the kitchen on the eve of the full moon. She knew of Naomi’s plan of having a servant drug Sebastian’s food. However, she didn’t know which servant it was. As she reached the servant, she heard the head chef speaking to the kitchen staff. “We must be sure there is no alcohol or other stimulants in the food for the next few nights. Just until after the full moon. We need to keep as cautious as possible when serving the king’s food. Understood?” “Yes, chef,” the other kitchen staff said as they continued working. The head chef made eye contact with Queen Magnolia and bowed instantly. “Your majesty,” the chef said. “I didn’t see you there. May I get you something?” Magnolia stared around at the wide eyes, trying to figure out which one of these traitors was working with Naomi. They all had motives and they all looked guilty. Her eyes landed on a young boy who looked particularly guilty. Magnolia recognized him as the boy she hired not lo
