Few days later, Kieran doesn't want to let Annaliese go."Don't go"."You said i could", Annaliese looks at him. "That was before"."Kieran, we're all packed"."Then unpack".She rolls her eyes at him."I'm supposed to go with Phoenix but you told me to go with Marian and James too so you feel safe and I'm sure they're ready to go. Besides, I'll be back in four days"."Well, i change my mind now", he says pulling her to the edge of the bed."But i don't"."Anna, don't go", he clutches on to her waist and rests his head on her abdomen."Stop it, you sound like Phoenix"."That shows he's my son"."That shows you're a baby, I'll be back before you know it"."I have a feeling you're all leaving me".'We're not leaving you, we're only going on a short visit", she frowns. "I should put a baby in you before you leave", Kieran tells her as he rubs his forehead on her sto

•Day 2•For an untrustworthy vampire, Lucian fulfils his promise and gives Annaliese her son.They keep to the room that is given to them and sleep close to each other with Phoenix between them.Breakfast is brought to their room. "Do you think Kieran will come?", Annaliese asks."If anything Annaliese, you should trust your mate", Marian replies."I do trust him"."So do you think he'll come?', Marian asks. "Yes, he will"."Good", she nods. "But i won't wait for him to show up, this place is nauseating and i want to leave"."And exactly how do you plan on doing that?"."The girl that brought breakfast this morning?, she's human"."So?"."I can ask her to help us".Marian looks at Annaliese like she's grown twenty heads."You're going to get her killed".•Day 3•Breakfast is brought to t

"Story time", Lucian says.Kim is dragged into the cell with the rest and chained up, the five warriors dead."He took my true mate and my rightful place as the Alpha King"."They were never yours", Marian says bitterly."Keep quiet!", James says with venom."Your mate?"."Your position?", Annaliese asks."He's my uncle", Kieran says slowly."I loved your mother with every might, i saw her first and fell in love with her first. We were getting along well, she was almost in love with me then she met your father!"."Everything she felt for me disappeared. She went crazy about your father and he fell for her, i was forgotten. Discarded like a rag"."She wasn't your mate", Marian argues."I don't care, i loved her!"."Then they gave birth to you", he says with hatred."I had to hide my broken heart and watch the love of my life go"."But you found your mate"."And she wasn't enough, she was

"Mate"."Hell no", Joycelin snorts."What are you doing here, Joyce?", Anna shouts."I wanted to help".Anna looks over to Leon."She snuck in and we didn't know until we were halfway of the journey", Leon shrugs."You're my mate", Lucian drags her by her arm."Don't touch me, vampire"."Alpha, we're sorry we came a bit late". "Marian is dead.", Kieran announces.They look at her and mourn silently."Stay back", James warns as he takes Phoenix from Denise and raises a silver knife to his chest.Phoenix cries out and Anna screams. "You monster!"."James, drop the knife", Kieran says calmly."Oh shut up, you're all going to get into that cell or i will kill this boy"."I was supposed to rule the witches after becomi

Kieran runs into the woods feeling bitter, alone and defeated.Feeling sad and depressed.Flashes of different memories from his childhood comes to him."I'm going to kill them"."Kill who?"."The mundanes, they took everything away from me"."But they also gave you something else".8 year old Kieran looked at Marian."They gave you Kim and the packs. Now you have to prove to be a great alpha king just like your father was".The little boy wiped the tears away and hugged Marian.
