I paced back and forth, my thoughts racing, trying to piece together the events of the previous night. A rogue attack—unprecedented and unsettling. What could this mean for us?The elders filed in one by one, their expressions a mix of concern and curiosity. Each of them took their seat at the long, polished table, murmuring amongst themselves. I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves. This was my responsibility now, to protect our people and maintain order. I couldn’t afford to show any sign of weakness.“Thank you all for coming on such short notice,” I began, my voice firm and clear. “We have a serious matter to discuss. Last night, there was a rogue attack on the outskirts of our territory.”Gasps and murmurs of shock rippled through the room. Elder Thorne, always the calmest of t

I had expected him to be back within thirty minutes, but two hours had passed, and there was still no sign of him.I glanced at the clock for the umpteenth time, my worry escalating with each passing minute. With no phone to reach him, I was left in a state of restless anticipation. I finished plating the food, but my appetite was nonexistent.

Killian’s POV I couldn't shake the feeling of unease as I walked into the townhouse, the echo of the meeting with the elders still fresh in my mind. The rogue attack last night had everyone on edge, and though I was supposed to be reassuring Elaine, the suspicion that it might be connected to her gnawed at me. It was strange. There had never been a rogue attack like this before, and with the elders casting wary glances, the tension in the air was palpable.I tried to keep my focus on Elaine, wanting to be there for her despite the pressing issues. I had promised to return within thirty minutes, but the meeting had dragged on longer than anticipated. Now, as I entered the townhouse, the silence and darkness greeted me with a stark contrast to the chaotic thoughts in my mind.

She was there, sitting quietly, her presence a beacon in the chaos. As I entered the room, our eyes locked, and in that moment, all the doubts and fears melted away, replaced by a burning desire that neither of us could deny.

Elaine’s POV I woke up to the cool morning light streaming through the curtains, casting a soft glow across the room. My eyes fluttered open, and I instinctively reached out, searching for Killian's familiar warmth beside me. But as my hand met the cold, empty sheets, a sigh escaped my lips.It had been like this for the past few weeks. Night after night, we shared wild, passionate sex, our bodies entangled in the heat of desire. Yet, each morning, I found myself alone, Killian nowhere to be seen. The cycle was becoming all too familiar, and with each passing day, the sting of his absence grew sharper.I sat up, pulling the sheets around me, and glanced around the room. His scent still lingered, a reminder of the nights we spent together, but it wasn't enough to fill the void his absence left.

Riley's eyes lit up as she took in the selection."Fancy a drink?" I asked, already moving towards the bottles."Absolutely," she replied with a grin. "Let's make something fun."We mixed up a couple of cocktails, laughing and chatting as we went. The clinking of glasses and our shared giggles filled the room. I handed Riley her drink, and we clinked our glasses together."To friendship," I said, smiling."To friendship," she echoed, taking a sip. The drink was strong, but the warmth it spread through my body was welcome. We moved to the kitchen, where Riley eyed the pantry."What do you have to eat around here?" she asked, poking through the shelves."Not much, but I was thinking of making some noodles. Want to help?" I suggested."Sure thing," she said enthusiastically. We set to work, boiling water, chopping vege
