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
Sebastian’s POV As the full moon rose gradually, Sebastian ate the last of his food. He could feel his mind going dark and the anger rising through him. He tried to calm his wolf down before it was too late, but he knew from the years of this happening, that it was unavoidable. He stared at the spot at the table where Hannah would typically be sitting. But she wasn’t home from work yet. He knew the best thing to do at that moment was to find Beta Arnold and get himself chained in the dungeon. That was his ritual every full moon, but he couldn’t bring himself to search for Arnold. All he could think about was Hannah and sinking his teeth into her neck to mark her as his. His hands trembled as he stood; most of the staff were away. They were probably in hiding knowing what day of the month it was. Beads of sweat piled on Sebastian’s forehead and his lip curled up in a snarl. The darkness that was closing around his vision was turning red as fury rose throughout him. Eric was growing
Hannah’s POV “Y…your face…” I stammered, staring up at his beautifully handsome face. I could feel the heat rising in my features and my heart pounding heavily against my chest. There was no doubt about it, I was going into the estrus period. The fear I once felt turned into lust. At that moment, I knew what I wanted, and it wasn’t to run away. I wanted to be closer to him; to touch him. I needed to be near him. “He’s amazing…” Nora breathed; she could hardly contain herself any longer. she was about to lose control at any moment, and I feared that I wasn’t going to be able to contain her much longer. I stopped struggling against him and allowed my body to go limp as he mounted on top of me. But just as soon as his eyes turned scarlet, they were turning back to normal. What was happening? He looked shocked for a moment as he felt around his face; there was panic crossing his expression. He pulled himself off me and turned back towards the pool to see his mask floating in the wat
Sebastian “SOMEBODY HELP! HE’S DEAD!” He didn’t recognize the voice, but his heart thudded violently against his chest at the shrilling panic that was coming from the kitchen on the floor below. He hadn’t been near the kitchen all night so whoever was dead, he knew it had nothing to do with him. He’s been with Hannah anyways; it wasn’t possible. He left Hannah alone in the bathroom; he wasn’t sure if she could hear the screaming from where she was, but he worried that she would think it was him as well. He ran down the stairs where a few servants were gathering around the kitchen. The head chef looked pale, and he was stumbling away with his body trembling. He made eye contact with a few of the maids, and they also paled at the sight of the violent wolf king on the night of the full moon. He could feel his madness returning to him slightly, but not enough for him to lose sight of what was happening. Hannah’s scent and saliva still invaded him enough to keep him semi-calm. There wa
