Ninety-TwoXanderA smile widened Hazel's lips as she strolled in back into her room, our room, since I was sure it wasn't bugged, we had been sleeping together.That way I was able to make sure she was protected, even though we knew who was stronger in the two of us.It just gave me a sense of purpose being here to protect my woman.Her eyes landed on where I sat with my weapons, and a sharper blade, as I sharpened my weapons. I was going to need them. Especially when I needed to escape from this Kingdom."What's the good news?" I asked as I sharpen a curved blade, my favourite weapon and crazy killer tool.Hazel was slowly slipping away under the grip of the dark magic. I knew this because of the nightmare she has been having. And the animated way she spoke to my father when they discussed how to use dark magic for their own good.I couldn't stop it. I couldn't do anything but watch.And when we were alone, when I tried to remind her who she was, and who I was to her, she often burs

XanderI ran with all my speed, not bothering to look back once, but I could sense them behind me. Their paws echoed on the floor, the sound enveloping the crunch of my boots as they stepped on everything on the ground as I ran for my life.They were gaining in on me, and it was getting hard to lose them despite every one of the twists and turns, and the border seemed to be anå+q+¹+++qq+ eternity away as I strive to reach it.I felt heat behind my legs. As a wolf who had undergone assassin trainings , I could kill a good amount of wolves at a time.But these wolves were magically enhanced. It often wore off, but it was on a high tonight. I couldn't stand a chance.With the last willpower I had, I pushed with all my might, and I pushed myself even harder. The trees blurred, and the night air whipped against my face as I raced towards the border, and passing the last tree, I successfully felt a strong surge of energy pass through me. I was out of the border.The distant sound of wolves

NaomiA growl left Seth's lips as the soldier mentioned my brother, and a gasp left my lips. What was Xander doing here? What did he want?Before I could process further, Seth stormed towards the door, but I ran after him, holding his hand to stop him from rampaging down all the way to the dungeons. His eyes flared with anger, and his fists tightened. "I'm going to kill him." He growled, while I tried to soothe him, my other hand resting on his chest. "Seth, please, let's find out why he's here first. There must be a reason."Seth's eyes met mine, and I almost shrunk back with the intense anger burning in his orbs, turning them almost black. "His reason must be nothing more than the need to be killed." He pulled away from me once again, walking out of the room and out to the hallway but I ran after him, almost slipping on the floor because of how fast he was walking.He was out for blood, and wouldn't rest until he got it.But I couldn't let him. Xander was my only family left."Se

Ninety-EightNaomiI drew patterns lazily on Seth's broad chest as I laid against him, our naked bodies tangled under the sheets, as we laid together, extremely exhausted from our exercise. He placed little kisses on my head, and we just stayed there, in silence. I knew he was thinking about something, but I had no idea what. There were a million pending issues that haven't been resolved. As king, there wasn't really any resting time. This was the last semblance of peace he was going to get until after the war, and I made sure to make it worth his time."What are you thinking about, my love?" I asked softly, my hands reaching to stroke his chin as my eyes searched his.They were not guarded, like I always knew to expect when I looked into them, instead, they were filled with conflicted emotions. Something was bothering him, and the question was, what exactly was it? There were a million things, and I had no idea which one caused him to worry that much.He let out a sigh, his hand re

A Hundred! Seth "We've been attacked!" The moment those words infiltrated my ears, I knew I had one major mission. To get Naomi the hell out of here. And to not panic. "Get everyone to safety! That's the major mission right now!" I shot orders at the guards guarding Xander's room, and they ran to work. Xander ran out of his room, geared up and ready to fight. "What do you need me to do?" "Connor, work with him. " I ordered as I ran towards my room, Connor shouting as I left, "Work with him?" But that wasn't my problem now. I needed to get her to safety. She was their major mission. I couldn't afford them hurting her and my baby. As I reached my room, Aubrey was already with Naomi, and they were surrounded with maids, and Megan was pulling her to safety. Her eyes were filled with worry, and as they landed on me, relief filled them. "Seth," she called out as she took her hands from both Aubrey's and Megan's, running into my arms. "I was worried." She held me close, and I hel
