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
Sebastian’s POV What Sebastian heard wasn’t surprising to him, but it still infuriated him just the same. He left the bathroom without making himself known to the gossiping maids. He clenched his fists to his sides, trying not to punch a hole in the wall that he so desperately wanted to do. A low growl made its way up his throat as he stormed down the stairs. The rest of the servants had disappeared for the rest of the night after the commotion in the kitchen. But he knew his stepmother would be nearby, probably watching his every move and waiting for him to fuck up again. But he wasn’t going to give her what she wanted. “I’m going to tear her apart,” Eric hissed as they stormed through the main foyer of the palace. Sebastian didn’t bother calming him down this time because he also wanted to tear her apart. He knew that she has been trying to pin the blame for the deaths of the servants on him, but hearing the maids confirm his thoughts was enough for him to lose control. He could
Hannah’s POV I woke up the next morning and Sebastian was gone. I knew he had some important meetings to take care of for most of the day, but there was so much I wanted to say to him. I wanted so badly to ask him about the scars on his face, or the lack of scars I should say. I wasn’t expecting to be able to see his face and I certainly wasn’t expecting his face to be as handsome as it was. It wasn’t making any sense; where did these rumors about the wolf king being hideously disfigured come from? Nora was intoxicated by not only his scent but by his appearance as well. I remembered a while back that Sebastian requested to mark me as his chosen mate after the full moon. I was made to believe he wanted to wait because he feared that I wouldn’t survive this full moon. But now that it was the day after the full moon, I couldn’t help but wonder when he planned on marking me. I think the moment we saw his face for the first time and Nora went straight into heat, was the moment she was a
Hannah’s POV I stood quickly as shards of glass broke through the window and scattered across the ground. A figure climbed his way through the window. He was a large man that wore a dark trench coat that covered most of his face. He was a large-built man that towered over me; I could smell the liquor radiating off his body almost right away and the stench of him made me nearly gag. My heartbeat against my chest violently and my body trembled uncontrollably as I took a step away from him. He stood near the window for a long while, staring at me even though I couldn’t see his face. “He has a dangerous aura,” Nora breathed fiercely. “I don’t recognize him.” She didn’t need to tell me that in order or me to know that he was a dangerous man. I could feel it. There was something off about him and worry started to build up inside of me. “Who are you?” I demanded to know. Without saying anything, he removed his hood. I didn’t recognize him at all, but his eyes were so dark they were prac
