—Killian—

I was texting with Lena last night but seeing as she didn't reply to my last text I assumed that she must have fallen asleep. I waited for a few hours to see if she would respond but when she didn't I finally fell into a fitful sleep for like four hours.

I check my phone again and see that she has still not replied me, so I decide to send another message.

Me: Are you free today for a coffee? I promise I’ll be on my best behaviour.

I have back-to-back meetings this morning with stakeholders and agents. I email Nikki asking her to send me today’s schedule while I wait. Considering it’s only six-thirty in the morning, I don’t expect a response until my phone lights up.

Lena: That depends. Do I get a chocolate brownie as well?

My lips curve upward into a smile, and resting back into my chair, I read her text again. I had forgotten what it felt like to smile, to look forward to something, or should I say someone, t

    —Lena— Meeting Killian for coffee is a bad idea. I thought I could act mature, ignore his flirtatious ways, but I am weak. And then he mentions flying back to London. My reaction takes me by surprise. I am livid. At him. At me. He’s sitting in front of me, and every part of me hates the fact that I miss him, even though I no longer know him. He isn’t the man I fell in love with many years ago. Killian Kelly has changed into this controlling, heartless creature who only thinks about his needs. When I ask him how long he will be away I have officially let my guard down, regretting the words immediately. I can’t understand my actions. I’ve spent years building up a thick skin given my line of work, and in just a few short days, everything I’ve spent years achieving is now an afterthought. Around him, I crumble, and I hate that. I no longer belong to him.I tell him I have something important t

    —Killian— Lena runs over to me and tries to pry me away from Adriana. "Killian let her go." "You don't know what she's done, If you knew you'd be begging me to kill her." She places her hand on my shoulder." I know exactly what she did, she told me herself and I would like nothing more than to hurt her the same way I've been hurt. But she's your sister, so please Killian let her go." I look down at her at that face that I've never been able to say no to. I release my hands from Adriana's throat. "Get out of here, and this time stay at the pack. If I see you again Lena won't be there to save you." She nods, takes in a shuddering breath and runs away from the office. I turn to Lena and she shoves me so hard that I stagger back. "How dare you? Who do you think you are barging into my office like that?" She doesn't even give me time to reply, she walks towards me and shoves me again. "And how can you treat Adriana like that she's your

    —Lena— Should I call his bluff? Can I even take the risk? Killian lowers the phone to me as I struggle to untangle myself from him, but he forcefully holds me down. Clearing my throat, I hit accept. “Hello?” “Hey, gorgeous. I miss you. Come to my place tonight?” Jeremy asks, oblivious to my predicament. Killian continues fucking me, slower, while he buries his head in my neck. His hand trails my breast, pinching my nipples as I try to respond without screaming my lungs out. Is this happening? “I’m still at work,” I respond, trying to keep my tone even. “Rain check?” Killian quickly pulls his head away from my neck, his eyes turning a darker shade of red and his fangs start to come out as jealousy rears its ugly head. With a vengeance, he pushes his cock deeper, my teeth biting down to refrain from moaning, the taste of blood lingering on my lips. “Are you okay?” Jeremy questions, worried. “You s

    —Killian— It has been the day from hell. I know the consequences of not attending the shareholder meeting at the Hilton but being here with Lena has definitely been worth it. It’s three in the afternoon the following day, and I have just gotten off my final conference call, the fourth in a row to be exact. Nikki’s sitting with me, letting out a breath when the call ends. “Mr. Kelly, I know it’s none of my business, but may I ask what called you to Manhattan so urgently?” I stand, walking toward the window. Placing my arm against the glass, I lean on it for support. “There was someone I needed to see, someone who meant a lot to me once upon a time.” Nikki glances at me, bewildered. Yes, that’s right, Killian Kelly actually has a heart. He wasn’t born a cold-hearted prick. “Um, sure, okay… I… uh… how long do you expect to stay here with her?” “I don’t know. It’s complicated.” “I understand.

    —Killian— Sitting in my enormous leather chair is Lena, dressed in a trench coat, pantyhose, and those famous Louboutins. My cock stirs at the sight of the trench coat. I’m hoping it’s just like in the movies—nothing underneath. Her legs are crossed, and I can just barely get a glimpse of the garters around her thigh. She stands, slowly walking over to me. I’m speechless, and hard as fucking hell, quite possibly ready to blow in my pants like some horny fifteen-year-old boy at any moment. Grabbing my hand, she pulls me over to the desk, then sits me down in the chair, standing tall in front of me. I ache to reach out and run my hands along her smooth skin, but I wait. “This is the thing, Mr. Kelly… I don’t appreciate unexpected visitors in my office. Gestures like that will lead to serious punishment.” I can’t resist, raising my hand and placing it on her thigh. Slowly sliding it down, I make my way under the coat and cup

    —Lena— Killian drives over to Kate's house like the hounds of hell are after him. I rest my hands on his leg and tell him. "Killian you need to slow down, we'll be no good to Adriana if we end up dead." He takes a deep breath and eases his leg away from the accelerator. We are still speeding but at least there's a lower chance of us getting into an accident. "I know you're right, I'm sorry. I'm just so damn worried, what the hell could've happened." "I don't know but the last time I saw her when she was in my office, I suspected something was off I should've asked her about it." "No you don't get to blame yourself, this is all my fault I'm her brother I'm supposed to protect her. But I've been so mad at her that I didn't even notice it." We finally reach Kate's house and we get down from the car. Lachlan comes out from the house and walks us to the backyard. "It's really bad man, she's shifted and won't shift back, her eyes are blo

    —Lena— I put two fingers on her neck to check her pulse. At first I don't feel anything but then I feel a weak pulse and breathe a sigh of relief. "Talk to me Lena, is she ok?" Killian asks with desperation in his voice. I get up and turn to him. "She's fine, her pulse is weak but it's there, she's just going to need a lot of rest in order to get her strength back." Relief washes over his face. "So she's ok? All the drugs have left her system?" "I'll have to check her again when she's awake but I'm confident the tonic should have burnt all the drugs away." "Thank the goddess." He goes to pick Adriana up but I step in front of him. "You're injured, let Lachlan and Kate take care of her for now.She doesn't need to see you like this when she wakes up." He looks like he's about to argue but then he steps aside for Lachlan to carry Adriana. Both Lachlan and Kate head inside the house. I notice that Killian isn't healing as fast as he

    —Killian— "It's because I can't Lena that's what you wanted to hear right I can't shift anymore. I'm the strongest flip shifter in a century and also an alpha but I can't fucking shift." She looks at me with a look of shock and disbelief on her face, I can't believe I just told her my secret no one else knows this except Lachlan. I take her moment of shock as an opportunity and get into the car, I can't start answering all the questions that I know she has about me not being able to shift. So i get into my car and speed off the driveway away from her. I drive aimlessly until I get to a clearing filled with trees, its so quiet up here, you can barely hear the sounds from the city. This is exactly what I need so I get down from the car and just start running i might not be able to shift but I still have my speed. I run until I get to the end of the clearing and then I let out a blood curling scream that all the animals in the forest seem to go

    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. Lachlan comes to stand by my side with Iannis an

    —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.
