With his steady heartbeat like a melody to my ear, I fell asleep in a matter of minutes.
Few knocks on the door were the reason my conscious was coming back to the surface but this time I was alone.
With a groan, I sat up on the bed and muttered out a very much annoyed come in.
SkylarMy mind was swirling in and out of conscious, I was half-aware that someone was pulling me by my arms, my feet dragging against the floor with each step they took.
Skykar“Ah, ah, ah, I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” I never hated someone’s voice so much until now, “you see, the more you pull the tighter they get.”My stomach twisted with utter anxiety and panic as I quietly watched h

My chest tightened with each passing second, I could clearly hear my thumping heart echoing around the dead, quiet room.I rocked my shivering body back and forth, nuzzling my head against my knee. My stomach was at the tip of my throat as it churned vigorously with fear and anxiety.As much as I longed to see my mate, I didn’t want to because I knew what I was supposed to do. What I was compelled to do and I don’t think I would ever forgive myself if I was the one who will cause such agony to him.I kept repeating to myself that I would fight against it but my body denied all those thoughts.I didn’t know how long I sat there, or even where the hell that psychopath went but I was sure he wasn’t near.Maybe it was barely an hour when my heart skipped a beat, all the hair in my arms stood and my mind yelled at me to move forward, to get closer to the door yet I sat still. Just as I was instructed. No m
SkylarParalyzed in fear, the scent of perturbation invaded the room. My terrorized feet refused to move and all my body agreed to do was shake in pain. I've never wanted to be so safe in my life.My head slowly looked down where I saw the once safe blade on my hand penetrating my stomach. My hand still wrapped around it with the hybrid’s firm hand on top of mine.I blinked.Once, twice.Until it hit me full force.I didn’t realize he was the one holding my figure up on my feet until he released his hold and my legs failed me. I fell on the ground, my hand terribly shaking as warm blood slowly pooled around my tank top and fingers.My babyA simple inhale felt too brutal on my lungs, making them burn and strike with agony.My ears were ringing terribly, yet I could hear each loud heartbreak against my ribs as I watched with blurry eyes my blo
“Ryan, stop feeding me, I’m so full.” I groaned, a frown pulling on my lips but of course, he didn’t listen to me.“Just this one and your plate will be finished,” he grinned down at me when he stuffed the last bits of myfifthcroissants down my throat bringing my hot chocolate to my lips.I didn’t really have a choice but to swallow it down even though I felt like throwing up.“There you go! That wasn’t so bad, wasn’t it?”I glared at him but he barely paid any attention to me as he put the empty plate beside me,” you need to eat more now that you’re pregnant, you’re going to let me name her, right? I’m thinking Isabella, maybe Elena or Lexie, I don’t know I haven’t made up my mind, yet.”He took the news a lot light-heartedly than I thought. Something tells me he figured it out the night I stayed
SkylarThe past couple of days passed by like a blur. Vetino was taken prisoner not even an hour after the meeting from his mansion by the Lawkers own soldiers. Would I be a bad person to say that I didn’t pity his life one bit? If so, then I must be one because I didn’t even pity the hybrid that made me go through hell when I saw him lying dead on the ground with his own body parts completely messed up.Every time I want to ask Alexander why he held such a deep grudge, something came up. The only person that crossed my mind after the lawkers final decision was Vetino’s wife and son. I met them before, and they both looked far too nice and good to be wrapped in Vetino’s swamp. The four days delay was enough to track down and stop his illegal work and all his followers were taken under Xander’s commands.Leaving the throne empty for so long would be chaos and logically, everyone immediately thought that Damon, his so
Skylar Seeing the lawkers mansion once again brought many memories back. The night I first met Vetino and the same night I encountered Dimitri’s mate. Ever since then, a lot has changed. The execution was held behind their house, out of human’s eyes to see. I felt sick just thinking about it. To my utter surprise, many people stood near the empty wooden stage with only a wood board and ropes on each side and a sharp, shining heavy ax on the headman’s hands. Their shattering was loud and I could taste the waves of disgust and hatred rolling of them as they spoke with each other about the common subject, the former Alpha and Luna, and how Vetino got what he deserved. They clearly loved them dearly. I even heard a few speaking about me, most of them sounded worried and even caring about what happened. I was really glad to know that my presence as their Luna was being accepted. Once people acknowledge our presence, eve
