—Lena—

We arrive at the ball at six on the dot.

The street is crowded, lined with limousines and luxury vehicles worth more than my apartment. Flashes are going off right, left, and center. The paparazzi are scurrying around like rats up a drainpipe snapping away at those who pose on the red carpet.

As we walk through the large doors, we’re blown away by the sight of it all. The grand ballroom is enormous. Its size big enough to hold all of the elite in New York City and then some.

The tall ceilings are covered in rows of draped sheer organza fabric, creating a medieval feel with a modern twist. A large chandelier hangs from the middle, its crystals reflecting the light which shimmers on the dance floor. Scattered across the room are artificial trees with the branches draped in fairy lights.

We sit ourselves down as Jeremy places his arm around my chair, drawing me in closer. He smells fantastic.

    —Killian— I spent the short limousine ride chatting with Brooke. It turns out she’s the daughter of one of the politicians from Long Island. Great, just what I need, more media scrutiny. Adriana sure knows how to pick them. We arrive at the ball, red carpet swarming with paparazzi. We follow the crowd, hoping to avoid the craziness. Unfortunately, I’m not so lucky. “Mr. Kelly, over here,” one of the paparazzi yells. I take my cue, posing, then the media frenzy follows. The bulbs keep flashing, blinding my normally perfect vision. "Killian, who are you wearing?” “Are you and Brooke Henley an item?” “Is it true the Kelly Group is in a bidding war to buy—?” Adriana shakes her head with annoyance and impatiently drags me into the building. I scan the room, bored with the conversation between Brooke and her mother about dresses and designers. Across the ballroom, I notice a young guy checking me out, making it bla

    —Killian— I stagger back in shock, my back hitting the wall, I can't believe what I'm hearing. "What do you mean Lena never cheated on me. Tell me the truth, the whole truth." My wolf growls and my fangs come out. She takes a step back seeing how agitated I am. "It all started as a joke. As soon as you found out Lena was your mate you dropped Mari like she was nothing. So the week before you kicked her out when you found out that all flip shifters that have been born through the years that if their mothers were omegas they were bound to die. So Mari definitely thought that you were coming back to her but you didn't. You then decided that you were ok without having kids." She takes another step away from me. "And I couldn't let you do that. Since we were little I've known how much you wanted kids and Mari is a Luna she can give you kids. So me and Mari paid a man to kiss Lena while she was at the store in town and those were the pictures t

    —Lena— MEMORIES "You know for someone whose last words to me three years ago was that you never wanted to see me again, you keep showing up a lot lately." Just as he opens his mouth, Eric practically throws himself between us. “Killian, thank you so much for sorting the door for us.” What? How can Killian get us in, and when did Eric become best buds with him? I need to escape this torture, and scanning the room in panic, my thoughts to exit via the back door are foiled when Eric grips onto my arm, predicting my escape. “Lena, did you know Killian owns this place? I mean, seriously, how hot is this club.” A wide smirk appears on Killiam’s face. I’m ready to kill Eric with my bare hands. Didn’t his parents teach him not to play with fire? “Good evening, Mr. Kelly.” The bartender is quick to attend to Killian. “What’ll it be?” “A round of tequila shots, Dylan. Can you send t

    —Lena— OH FUCK!....WHAT HAVE I DONE. I want to give him all of me and take everything he has to give me—three years’ worth of suppressed sexual desire. And foolishly, I want him to taste the forbidden fruit. Poison him with just one bite. He greedily sucks my lips while tugging on my hair, then continues kissing down my neck until his mouth is on my breasts. A groan escapes his beautiful lips as he sucks the left one hard while pinching the right nipple, then quickly alternating. I’m lost, drowning in a pool of pleasure. My hands are running through his hair, guiding his head as he tastes me. As I open my eyes to watch him, the sparkle in my ring nearly blinds me. Like a splash of cold water, reality is staring at me, judging me for my poor decisions. I push him away, creating distance. “Fuck you, Killian. You don’t own me,” I shout with uneven breaths. “I’m taking back what’s mine.” He latches onto my wai

    —Killian— Fuck i shouldn't have acted like that i pushed too far too soon. I should've known that a fast approach wasn't the way to go, not after the way I hurt her. But I can't help myself whenever she's close my body calls out to her and I know she feels it too. But she doesn't want to that's why she's pushing me away. How dare she assume I’m just like everyone else. I might have been young and foolish, but I loved her like no other man could. I’ve fucked-up so many times that I’ll admit now, I just need a final chance to make things right. Until she tells me tonight’s all one big mistake. You’re nothing to me. I’m marrying him. I lean against the wall, willing her hurtful words to stop. The lack of her presence is leaving a huge ache inside me, rubbing the self-inflicted wound inside my chest. I need to let her go, just for tonight. Maybe I’m pushing her, but I don’t know what else to do. She isn’t a business deal, and

    —Killian— The whole situation with Lena is messing with my head so I decide to go for a run in central park. My legs run faster than ever, pushing through the burn as sweat builds against my shirt and drips from my forehead. The time I run is my personal best, and the only positive thing I have control over. I stop at a playground to catch my breath. Around me, children are playing, so happy with not a care in the world. An attractive redhead sits on the park bench, and a small boy runs into her arms. Her face becomes familiar, and moments later, I realize it is Lena’s friend, Kate. Fuck, I know how much she hates me she's not my biggest fan. I’m not one to strike up conversations with people that hate me, but I need her help if I want to have a chance in getting Lena back. “Hi.” I wave, taking small steps towards her. “Kate, Its been a while” Raising her eyes to meet mine, she crosses her arms with a forced smile

    —Lena— My eyes spring open, the sun still shining directly into my face. Turning to my side, I lift my phone to check the time. Nine o’clock. My screen is full of notifications—four text messages and a slew of emails. The first two are from Eric. Eric: Lunch at Mahjong House at noon. We need to talk. Crap, what have I done? I suddenly feel an urge to vomit, thinking I can’t remember things for a very good reason. Racing toward the bathroom, I topple over the toilet, dry retching as nothing comes out. Peeling myself off the cold tiles, I drag myself back to bed and check my phone again. Eric: Kate will be there, she said she's coming with someone named Lachlan, but she is meeting us at 12:30. Don’t be late! I laugh, regretting it almost immediately as my head spins violently. It’d been a long time since I drank that much, and I vow never to touch tequila ever again. The next message is from an unknown numbe

But I don't want to hear any of it, I might hate her guys but she's still my sister and he had no right to hurt her. I'm so mad but I don't show it so that Lachlan and Kate won't worry but Killian is going to hear from me. We say goodbye to each other. Lachlan and I make plans to have dinner on Tuesday night at Latest house, to catch up on old times. Back at my apartment, I plonk myself on the couch and try to piece the puzzle together. I didn’t fuck Killian last night, but who knows, maybe I gave him head or something. Shit. I’m mad as hell at Killian.No good can come of being around him. I need to focus on the positive, my fiancé, my future husband. It’s seven on the dot when I knock on Jeremy’s door dressed in my off-the-shoulder black dress. The moment his door opens, his loving smile onsets my guilt.

    EPILOGUE.A YEAR LATER.AUTHORS POV. I know you're all probably wondering, a year time skip is too much, but don't worry I'll catch you up. After the funeral, the council of Alpha's met to decide on Jeremy, Elijah and Elena's punishment. It was decided that they would all be spell bound and banished. Spell bound in the sense that their abilities as shifters would be locked away by a spell and only the witch or warlock that put the spell on them would be able to unlock it. So that's what happened and every shifter in the world, hell every supernatural creature was informed of what they did so they wouldn't be getting any help. Also Killian reported Jeremy's businesses and they were all shut down. Elijah begged for a second chance with Adriana but she refused. Slowly but surely everyone was healing from the loss of that day and it also helped that Will amd Luna were back, bringing much needed joy and light into their lives. Now I know some of you are confused,

    —Lena— A Few Days Later. The pack was in mourning, yes we won the war, but that didn't mean that they weren't any casualties. All together we lost about thirty shifters but we all know it would've been worse if we didn't have the cure. We had two days to mourn and today we were going to have a mass burial. Here's how everyone in the house is doing, Kate hasn't left her room in days, and I cam hear her cries and screams through the walls, but she won't let anyone in and I completely understand. Killian is being the strong Alpha that he is but I know he's hurting, but in this moment he needs to be strong for his people. We've barely spoken two words to each other, I mean what could we possibly say that would make sense of what just happened. He did leave Jeremy alive though, Jeremy, Elijah and Elena are currently down in the dungeons waiting for a decision from the council of Alpha's on how to deal with them.

    —Killian— I was right, I can finally flip shift again. The first time I did it after we left the wedding, the feeling was euphoric, the split second that it took meant everything. The ferals were way more than I expected but it didn't matter, our numbers were still more than theirs. Lachlan and I had been separated but I knew he was fine, it wasn't easy curing the ferals when all they wanted to do was kill us. It felt good being able to shift again, one second I was my wolf and the next I was back to being human. But I still hadn't found the one person I was looking for, where the hell was he? He was the one controlling them, so he couldn't be far. I was done taking care of the feral on my side and the men were taking them to safety. “Jeremy! Don't be a coward, stop sending your lackeys and come and face me yourself!” I shout out as I continue walking around, searching for him. “Don't worry, I'm not going to use the cure on you, it's going to be the cold

    —Lena— “Where exactly do you think you're going to?” Missy asked me as I was about to leave the building. “You heard me right? I'm going to find her son.” I told her. “You can't go out there alone Lena.” She tells me. “Is that actual worry that I hear in your voice Missy? Don't worry about me; I can take care of myself; you stay here and make sure that everyone gets down there.” I tell her. “No, Celia can handle that, I'm coming with you.” She tells me I don't have the time to argue with her; I need to find the woman's son. “Fine, let's go.” I tell her and then we both leave the building. “She said he was just with her so he couldn't have gotten far.” I tell her. “Yeah, that's true, but he's still a kid; they wander off pretty fast once something catches their attention.” Missy tells me. “Why don't we split up, we'll be able to find him faster.” I tell her. “Not going to happen, you might

    —Killian— A loud alarm sounds, and it can only mean one thing: they're here. Using my Alpha voice, I address the crowd. “Everyone calm down. We have prepared for this, and we all know what to do; if we panic, it isn't going to help. All the women and children start making your way down to the passageways.” I instruct them and then I turn to look at Lena. “Make sure everyone is safe and that the boundary spell is up before you come and meet us.” I tell her. “I know, you be safe out there, he's going to come straight for you.” She tells me. “Well, he's going to be in for a huge surprise.” I tell her, when we marked each other, I felt something shift in me and I finally feel like my former self, I haven't tried it out but I'm very sure that I cam flip shift again. “I'll see you soon.” She tells me and then she picks up her dress and runs into the house with Kate, Adriana and Kat following behind her.

    —Lena— We walk down the stairs, to the back patio doors that lead into the clearing. Adriana and Kat go out first when the violin starts playing. “Alright, this is it, once you step out, there's no going back.” Kate tells me. “I know that Kate, I'm ready.” I tell her. “Alright then, we just have to wait for your dad. Oh, there he is.” Kate says as my dad walks in and he has tears in his eyes as he looks at me. “Oh, my baby girl, you look so beautiful.” He tells me, and I can't help the tears that also well up in my eyes; my father doesn't get emotional all the time. “Thank you, Dad.” I tell him as he stands by my side and puts my hand through his. Kate nods at the two of us, and then she walks out; we wait a few minutes and then me and my dad walk out, and I can't help that I stop walking the moment we step outside because the crowd gathered here is more than I expected. “It's ok, Lena, don't focus on them; focus on the one perso

    —Lena— The next day, we kind of slept in and by the time we got up and got ready for the day, it was already eleven in the morning, the perfect time to start brunch if I do say so myself. The guys had left, none of them telling us where they were going to, so we had the house to ourselves. When I walked downstairs the kitchen had been transformed and I'm not just talking about the decorations, I'm talking about the food spread that Kate had on the counter, there was a fruit board and a cheese board that was so beautifully arranged I was scared to touch it. “Oh Kate, this all looks amazing.” I tell her. “Well, I'm glad you like it. We have a massage scheduled in the next thirty minutes and after that, mani pedis. So everyone here's your drink.” She said as she handed a glass of mimosas to me ans Kat buy just orange juice for Adriana. We took the glass, got into our robes and walked into the living room where the tables had already been set up for the massage

Finally.” Eric sighed. In fact there was a sigh of relief all around the room. “Eric, Iannis, Kat, Bertha. I don't know how to even thank you guys for this. You have gone above and beyond. Thank you so much.” Killian tells them and I can tell that he's emotional in that moment. “Killian's right, thank you for this.” I tell them. “No thanks necessary, this was my mistake to fix.” Iannis said. “So what happens next, the liquid in that bowl is

    —Lena— It's currently a night to the fourth day, for the past three days, the tension in the pack was palpable, it was like a fuse that was getting ready to blow. Everyone was doing what was asked of them, after the first day, Eric, Kat and Iannis didn't even bother to come back to the house, they'd all been holed up in the cabin, only just sending the occasional text when they needed something and then one of us would go and get it for them. Killian, Lachlan and Kate spent most of their time in the training centre while Adriana and I focused on getting the passageways ready and also planning the mating ceremony. Kate was the one who insisted on this but now she was too busy to help not like I'm blaming her or anything but it was her idea to have something big. If it was left to me, I would just put on a gown and get everything over with. But my mother offered to help me and I gladly accepted, plus it was a good distraction for her.
