Killian's POVJust as I stood by my window, my eyes fixed on the view outside, hoping and thinking that my mate would return, the sudden knock at the door immediately pulled me out of my deep thoughts, making me turn my gaze to the direction of the door.“Come in!” I commanded, and without hesitation, Beta Dayton pushed the door open and walked into the room, his eyes meeting my back the moment he entered.I couldn’t help but sense an aura of tension and concern in the air as he entered the room.There was no doubt that he cared about me. It was clear he didn’t like the fact that I was silent and appeared rejected, because that was exactly how it felt and looked.Without a mate for so long, and yet, I wasn’t sure where she was.“You’re still thinking about her, aren’t you?” Beta Dayton’s statement immediately jolted me back to reality.“It’s not as easy as you think, Dayton… it’s just not that simple!” I said, shaking my head at him.“She’s your mate; we get it, but she is dead!”“She
Killian's POV.Seeing that everyone had their gaze fixed on Chief Han, who was sitting next to me, I couldn't help but turn to him myself. I was curious and wished to know why he had suddenly shown up at the mansion with all these men.Was he here to torment me? Was he here to make me feel less of an Alpha? These were the questions that crossed my mind as I glared at him.“We are waiting, Chief Han!” I informed him, and with a swift glance around, he finally acknowledged the situation and stood up, buttoning his jacket swiftly.“Fine… I'll make this swift and brief!” he said before turning his gaze to meet mine.“You don't have a Luna, Alpha Killian; therefore, you are to get married in the next five days!” he declared, making my eyes bulge in shock and confusion.Trust me, I was confused to the core. I wasn't sure what he was trying to say, but if I wasn't mistaken, he really meant that I should forget Elora and marry someone who wasn't my mate, someone I felt nothing for.“What?” I
Killian's POV.“We are ready to leave now, Alpha Killian!” Beta Dayton bowed right before me the moment he stormed into the room, fully armoured and prepared.They were going to search for my Luna and bring her back this time, and I knew they would.It was almost the fifth day. We were on the third day of the search, and no matter how hard I tried to push the thoughts aside, I just couldn't.How in the world was I expected to marry someone I didn't love? And what if my Luna returned at that hour? Wouldn't it be the end of me?Elora wouldn't like this; she wouldn't want this.“Alpha Killian!” Beta Dayton called out, seeing how silent I had become.“Yes…?” I snapped my gaze to meet him instantly.“We are set!” He repeated, his eyes fixed on me, waiting to hear what I would say next.“That's good then… you should leave now before it gets too late! You must find her today by all means, is that clear?” I commanded. With a swift bow, Beta Dayton responded to my command.“We will try our bes
Killian's POV.The second I got into the car, I didn’t hesitate to turn on the engine and step on the accelerator, zooming out of sight without hesitation.“Alpha Killian!” I could still hear Dayton’s shout from behind, and I saw through my side mirror that he wanted me to come back, to return to the mansion, but what good would that do?I’d only feel more broken; I’d only feel more devastated. I needed to find my mate myself. They said she’s dead? Fine!But I wasn’t going to accept such assertions until I knew for myself. Until I searched and didn’t find her.With my grip intensifying as it clenched the wheel, I drove with a speed I never imagined. It wasn’t that late, but it was dark.As I drove toward the edge of the pack, I kept my eyes peeled. “Dead? What a joke!”I sped towards the location where Beta Dayton had reported finding her blood-stained clothes, but no trace of her scent. When I reached the spot, I slammed on the brakes, the tires screeching as they locked up. The eng
Killian's POV.“Fine, if that’s how you want it, then I’ll show you that defying your Alpha is never the right choice!” I shouted, my voice laden with fury.With a fierce resolve, I lunged at him, my movements swift and determined. He remained rooted in place, his arms crossed over his chest, his eyes fixed on me with a cold, challenging stare. His inaction only heightened my suspicion, making it seem as though he wanted me to be intimidated by his presence.Undeterred, I swung my arm back, preparing to strike. My plan was to slice open his throat and then deal with the rest of the rogues. But as I closed the distance, an unexpected wave of dizziness and a sharp, throbbing pain surged through me. My vision blurred, and an intense pressure seemed to constrict my head.“Arrrrgghhh!” I bellowed in agony, collapsing to my knees right in front of him. My hands flew to my head, trying to stave off the crushing pain, but it was relentless.“I see you’re feeling it now!” he sneered, his voic
Killian's POV.Sitting on a couch in front of the mirror, I couldn't help but feel a pang of regret and pain wash over me. If there was anything I had imagined would happen in life, it definitely wasn’t getting married to Scarlet, the woman brought to me by Chief Han.“We are done, Alpha!” The lady who was taking care of my face and hair informed me with a swift bow.With a wave of my hand, I silently asked her to leave, which she did. I was now alone in my room with my white suit and my red eyes glaring at my reflection.It was finally the day everyone in the pack had been waiting for—the day everyone except me, who was getting married, wanted to see.My hand reached up and massaged my temples as I felt a wave of confusion and frustration gnaw at my insides.After I had been attacked that night, I was never allowed to search for my mate. I was forced to believe that she was finally gone. Besides, the days I was given to search for her were over.I was getting married to Scarlet Holme
Killian's POV.Standing on the podium with my hand held out before me, I couldn't help but rest my case against the door in front of me. The hall was filled with other pack members, seated and ready to witness the union of their Alpha, Killian, and the despicable lady, Scarlet.Beta Dayton stood right beside me, his eyes fixed in the same direction. Soon, the chiming of the bells began, and the doors creaked open, echoing through the hall.“Arise!” A sudden command erupted from behind me, and everyone obeyed instantly. No one wanted to be seen as rebelling against the Alpha's union on a day like this.Just then, Scarlet walked into the hall, each step carefully calculated, a bright smile on her lips as she linked her arm with that of Chief Han, who helped her walk down the aisle.She looked up at me from where she was, and the only thing I could see in her eyes was nothing short of evil intentions.My gaze shifted to Chief Han, whose eyes glistened with malevolence as well.“They are
Killian's POV."She has been captured and taken..." Bryce started but didn't finish his words. I watched as his eyes scanned the place briefly. It was as though he was scared, and the person who had taken her was right in the hall with us.Just to make him speak, I took three steps closer to him, leaned in, blocking his view of others as I glared right into his eyes. "Captured by who?"He hesitated for a brief moment before parting his lips to speak. "Elora is in the hands of Alpha Rohan," he finally declared, his words making my brows crease.Alpha Rohan had never shown up after the fight and struggle to get Elora all this time after the marriage at the Ocean Pack. So hearing that he had taken hold of her now made things more difficult for me to understand and process.Besides, why didn't I think about asking the ones she knew about her whereabouts?"She has been with him all this time and..." just as he was about to continue, Chief Han broke in."Don't believe a single word he is sa
