KILLIAN'S POV

"And you put her parents in a cell?" I asked, gripping my glass in my hand.

Marcus rubbed his jaw. "Yeah. I wasn't quite sure where else to put them, to be honest."

"Not in a damn cell!" I yelled, almost shattering the glass in my hand.

"Well, aren't you concerned about Vivian's mom...she's not really supposed to be here."

I paused. "I hadn't considered that. But she was banned before our time. My father has nothing to do with the pack now. He putters around his garden. I can undo her banishment. I'm sure Vivian would expect that regardless."

"It's not that easy. I didn't think you'd be aware, but back when they used to do banishments, they cursed those they banished."

"Cursed?"

Marcus waved his hands. "To sum it up in the nicest way possible, a shifter who returned on banished grounds would eventually lose their wolf. And become...wolfless."

    VIVIAN'S POV "So first, you tell me my parents are possibly dead, and now you're telling me my parents are here?" I stared at Killian with a blank face. He rubbed the back of his neck. "Surprise?" I crossed my arms. "Are you sure it's actually my parents? You've never met or seen them. Maybe this is one of Sarah's tricks." "I...no. I didn't..." I waved my hands. "Come on. Hopefully, you were smart enough to keep them locked up until I could see who these people were." I started towards the jail, but Killian grabbed my arm. "I didn't lock up your parents, Vivian. They're in rooms down the hall." I rolled my eyes. "If they're my parents." He flinched. "Come on." I let him lead, following closely behind. I hoped it was my parents, but I didn't want to get my hopes up that they were actually safe and sound in Blackmoon territory, away from Sarah and Zeke. When we reached their presu

    KILLIAN’S POV“You just going to watch her fall on her ass over and over?” Marcus asked, coming up behind me where I hid, watching Vivian training with Clarence.“She’s getting better,” I grumbled.Vivian was off in the distance, trying to block Clarence, sending waves of energy he shot at her. On their first day, he was already going hardcore at her. He knew she had no magic experience but wouldn’t hold back. He knew she needed to train fast. Sarah wouldn’t hold back either and wouldn’t stay away for long.“Have you decided what you’re going to do about Caleb?”“What about him?”“He’s obviously here with ulterior motives.”I shrugged. “He has a schoolboy crush on Vivian. Good luck with that. She hasn’t seemed too anxious to visit him. I’m not concerned about him.”Marcus scratched his chin. “Something doesn’t feel right about him. I think there’s more to it.”I slapped him on the shoulder. “That’s why you’re my Beta. It’s your job to keep an eye on things. So if something is amiss, f

    VIVIAN'S POV "Mate," fell from Caleb's lips in a hushed whisper. I rushed over and shoved a hand over his mouth, glancing toward Chris's cell, begging the Moon Goddess that he didn't just hear Caleb. No movement, nothing. Good. I looked back at Caleb. Had he always been so handsome? Not the time. I could feel him grinning beneath my hand. I whispered, "I'm going to uncover your mouth, but you need to be really quiet. Got it?" He nodded. I slowly removed my hand. "We're mates. We're actually mates. Can you believe it?" I stared at him, shocked at how excited he was. Did he not realize how shitty this timing was? "Caleb, something isn't right. I'm a rogue. I shouldn't be able to mate with you." He paused. "The Moon Goddess blessed you with a second-chance mate, and she just chose to overlook that you're a rogue. That's all. Stranger things have happened." I shook my head. "No, Caleb. Something isn't righ

  • Rejected By My Best Friend And Alpha   Chapter 56

    CHRIS'S POV Mate. Vivian and Caleb were mates. I'm not sure why she thought I couldn't hear them. Come on. I'm a shifter, and I'm not deaf. I'd had plenty of time to think this over now, and I wasn't sure what to do with the information, but the more I thought about it, the more pissed off I got about it. Caleb wasn't right for her. He was annoying, for one. He kept trying to talk to me about dumb shit. I guess he was bored, so I think I'd give him that one. But be bored by yourself. Also, did she not remember him in school? Caleb was a loser. He was always going off doing...Actually, I don't remember him from school. But I'm sure he was a loser. I didn't remember him, and that was enough. Or maybe I was just jealous. I needed to tell someone something to get the two away from each other. I didn't want him to claim her. If he claimed her, then it was all over. All over for who? Me? We had only fake dated. But I'd always had feelings for her. She had

    KILLIAN'S POV "I'll kill him." Marcus grabbed my arm. "She'll kill you in turn." I glared at him. "You think I'm going to let him touch her and do nothing? Why would you let those two be alone in the first place?" Marcus dropped his arms to his side. "There's more. Chris had information that I also came to tell you. You won't like this, and I think it best if you sit down." I cocked my head. "Spit it out." "Killian, I'm serious. I think it's best if you sit." "Marcus. Just say it." "Vivian has mate bonded with Caleb." I felt like the wind had been knocked out of me. "What are you talking about? That's impossible. She's a rogue. She can't." "It's happened. I brought her here. She's waiting outside. I think she knows more than she's letting on." I stumbled backward. My wolf knew she was meant to be mine, but somehow, the Moon Goddess had cursed me and bonde

    VIVIAN'S POV "Again." I glared at Clarence from the ground. "When am I going to be on the offensive side?" "When you learn to not fall on your ass." I stood, dusting myself off. "Fine. Hit me again." Clarence had been suspiciously friendly today but firm in his training. Insistent that we needed to train harder and get me ready to map out my destiny, whatever that meant. I stared across at him, noting the determined look on his face. Maybe he was starting to really care about me. I braced myself for his next attack. As he threw the next wave of energy, I felt the force hit my body, pushing me down to the ground, but I pushed back, forcing my wave of energy back. I felt a burst of pure rage building up, and then I was sending waves of energy out, and the force pushing me down was gone. Instead, I watched Clarence's eyes widen, and he was thrown to the ground. Did I just do that? I ran over to him. "Clar

    VIVIAN'S POV Fire. There was fire. I could smell it. I jumped out of bed, rushing to my door and swinging it open. People were running in the halls, heading outside. There was panic everywhere. I took off in the direction everyone ran, knowing I needed to see what was happening. Once I reached outside, I saw it. A blazing inferno at the gates. Buckets of water were being thrown; hoses were spraying at the water. I saw a line of what I presumed were the witches lining up, holding hands. Were they strong enough? Could they beat this? I watched in awe as they began chanting, and the blaze started to die down slowly. It was very slow. The buckets of water continued to be thrown. I just stood there in shock. I watched as the fire continued to lessen, the witches continued to battle, and the water brigade continued their fight. Suddenly, a hand grabbed my arm, and I was jerked back. "What are you doing out here?" It was Marcus. "I..

    CHRIS'S POV "What do you think is going on out there?" Caleb asked. I rolled my eyes and didn't answer. Ever since my memories started to cme back, the more and more I wanted to put my fist through his face. Especially knowing he was mated to my Vivid. Vivid, who I hadn't seen since we kissed. "Chris, man. Can you hear me?" "You're not used to being ignored, are you?" "Come on, dude. I didn't do anything to you." "Didn't you, though?" I heard him sitting up in his bed. "What have I done?" "Other trying to get between me and Vivian when we were together; now you're mated to her?" "Oh. You know? Did she tell you?" "I'm not deaf, you buffoon." He was silent for a moment. "I'm sorry, man. I know it's not how you wanted things to go down, but she's my mate. We're meant to be together. And once she accepts that, we'll make a great couple." I made a

    VIVIAN'S POV "Hello, beautiful," Chris whispered in my ear. "Hello, handsome," I whispered, trying not to wake our twin boys in the bassinet before me. I turned around, wrapping my arms around his neck, pressing my lips to his, and continued in a hushed voice, "Are our guests here?" He nodded. "They just made it. I think she and Killian are fighting, though. But she's as big as a house." I grinned. "He probably said something as stupid as you just said." Chris opened his mouth to argue, but I held my finger up. "Don't. Just accept that you shouldn't say a pregnant woman is huge and go on about your day." He shrugged. "You're right." I glanced at our boys before slipping past Chris and heading towards the living room, where our guests were waiting. Divinity and Killian tried to visit at least once a month when time allowed. Despite the demands of being Alpha and Luna of our packs

  • Rejected By My Best Friend And Alpha   Chapter 79

    KILLIAN'S POV "Zeke is dead," Vivian stated. Chris stood there, covered in blood, Vivian, too. I listened as they both explained what had happened. Marcus was already on the way to the cabin to verify their story, but I was sure what they had said was true. I could already tell by Chris's new aura that what had happened was undoubtedly true. Chris had killed an Alpha and was now an Alpha. I narrowed my eyes at him, suspicious. An Alpha should never trust an Alpha who murdered another Alpha. But he had done it to save Vivian. So, I should give him a little leeway. Turning back to Vivian now, I brushed her shoulder, ignoring the blood that covered her. "Are you okay?" She nodded. "I'm okay now. Chris saved me. I was initially upset, but...it had to be done." Damn. Chris is saving the day, of course. I should have been the one to kill Zeke. Now Chris looked like a damn hero. Vivian stepped closer to Chris. Oh, no. Th

    CHRIS'S POV "Have you seen Vivian?" Killian asked, running up to me. I held up my hands. "I've been waiting for her just like you have. I thought we were supposed to meet her in that backroom before the ceremony so she could tell us her choice. So obviously, no, I have not seen her." Killian looked around. "Marcus went to her room to escort her without an answer. Her bed was stripped. There could have been laundry done. But no one can locate her. I'm worried." My ears perked up. "You don't think it's highly suspicious her bed is stripped? And she's missing? Where's Zeke?" He scanned the crowd. "He's not here either." Fucking hell. Zeke had taken Vivian; I had zero doubt in my mind. It is evident that the choice was down to me, and Killian and Zeke had no chance in hell, and he must have realized that. Killian was running to Marcus, commanding him to get their soldiers in line to start hunting for Vivian.

  • Rejected By My Best Friend And Alpha   Chapter 77

    VIVIAN'S POV Today is the day. The final day that everyone will be holding their breath around me, walking on eggshells. Afraid that I'll break. Tonight was the Blood Moon and when I'd finally decide on my mate and our future. I stared at the ceiling, holding my stomach, the butterflies refusing to settle. I just wanted to skip to tomorrow, when this was over and done with, and my future could finally start. Tomorrow would be a better day than today. I threw back the covers, swinging my legs over the edge of the bed. First things first, I needed to eat. Make an appearance, act normal, be normal. The party wasn't until tonight, and I couldn't just hole myself in my room all day beforehand. I'd been doing that for days already while I healed. I wobbled over to my dresser, finding a pair of leggings and a tank top to slip into, then a pair of boots I could also slip on easily. I wasn't going for fancy right now. I'd dress fancy and nice ton

    KILLIAN'S POV I stared at the bottle in my hand. I could do this. I could do it. One day, we would laugh at this. She wouldn't even be mad, right? Not after a few years of happiness and bliss together. I stared harder at the bottle, willing to answer my questions. To tell me what to do. A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. I hid the bottle under my pillow quickly before striding to the door and flinging it open. Divinity stood there, looking nervously at the ground. "Hello, Alpha; I came to check on you." I looked around to see if anyone was in the hall to see her at my door. "Come in, D. You don't have to call me that, ya know." She smiled at me, slipping inside. "Thanks, Killian. So, how are things going for Vivian? You think she's going to choose you?" "I don't know," I groaned, heading over to the couch and flinging myself down. She settled down at the table, where I had left uneaten food, picking at m

    KILLIAN'S POV "He's back." "Who's back?" I asked Marcus. Marcus looked around, making sure no one heard him as he leaned in and whispered, "Caleb." I set down my fork. "Let's go. You didn't bring him inside, did you?" "Of course not. He's outside the walls with my men." "Good." Standing, I let him lead me, not paying attention to those we passed. Caleb had a lot of nerve showing up here. Vivian had told me about what had happened with Caleb after they'd left, and I had assumed he had either died or maybe run off with his tail between his legs. But he was showing up here for some reason. To beg for mercy? To try some underhand scheme again? Arriving at the gate, we nodded to the guards as they opened up. Marcus led me to the side, where a group of men was waiting. Right in the center, they held Caleb down on his knees. He looked like he hadn't eaten in a while, and he was filthy. He probably

    VIVIAN'S POV Outside with Zeke had left me exhausted. And now I was ready for a nap. Zeke asked if he could nap with me like in old times, but I was a woman now. It felt wrong. So I declined. His annoyed expression didn't escape me. Crawling into bed, I curled up with my pillow and immediately drifted into dreamland.***** Burning. It was so warm. I looked around, and I was back. I was back to the day of the fight with Sarah. I looked down at my arms, and they were charred. Had I killed her already? This didn't seem right. Why was I standing? I saw her laughing at me; her skin was burnt, hair frayed, and barely sticking to her scalp. "Little baby Vivian is scared," she mocked. I was on the ground. Vines wrapped around my legs now. I couldn't move. When did I sit down? "I'm not scared," I argued. Sarah walked towards me. "You're scared to choose him. You're scared of what Killian might do to him." I cri

    KILLIAN'S POV "Can I talk to you?" Vivian looked around me before nodding. "Sure, come on in." I stepped inside, resisting the urge to wrap my arms arounds her, holding her against me and never letting her go. But instead, I waited for her to motion for me to sit down and do the same. "So what's up, Kill?" I reached over, grabbed her hands, then stared at her and caught her eyes. "The Blood Moon is coming up. Are you any closer to a decision?" She pulled her hands from mine. "That's what this was about?' "The war is over. It's time to get things in order, and it's time to choose a mate, Vivian." Her eyes narrowed. "And getting me in line and mating with me is just on the agenda?" I reached for her again, but she just moved her hands. "No, it's not like that. I was also reminding you that the reasons you delayed before are no longer relevant. And you can focus on this—on us." "Yo

    CHRIS'S POV "I think you should spend less time with Vivian and more time on getting better, Zeke," I said, narrowing my eyes at the food tray in his hands. He was, once again, bringing her breakfast in bed. Like he'd done several days in a row now. They were attached at the hip again. Just like they'd been in high school. It was getting under my skin. Zeke looked down at the food he was carrying. "Well, V doesn't quite feel up to taking her food in the mess hall, and someone has to bring her something to eat. And since you're busy doing whatever you're doing, I thought I was the best candidate." "I'm helping Killian and his pack reorganize after yours attacked them. It's a lot of work after your pack decimated their gate and set fire to a lot of their homes." Zeke flinched. "Look, that's not my fault. That's Sarah's fault. I was under a spell." "Which is why you should focus on getting better and not flaunting how well you are. You should at le
