—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

    —Lena— I've had to return back to work Kate and I take shifts checking in on Adriana, she's staying with Kilian for now. Killian and I haven't had a chance to talk as everyone is focused on finding the people behind the feral shifters drug, but I know we need to have the conversation soon. Jeremy has been out of town on business but should be back this week. “Hey, Lena.” Eric peeks his head through my door. “There’s someone here to see you.” Who now, I wonder? As I stand up, flattening the crease in my skirt, Jeremy walks into the room. Oh, fuck. I haven’t seen him in weeks, and in that time, I have screwed Killian more times than I care to admit. “Hey, gorgeous. I was starting to think you had disappeared.” Jeremy strolls over to me, grabbing my waist and pulling my body against his. Tilting his head, he plants a kiss on my lips, an uneasy feeling consuming me as I force a smile. “Sorry, Jeremy. Work has literally k

    —Lena— Eric clutches my hand tight, rushing me along the busy streets attempting to reach the restaurant in record speed. “Eric, seriously, can you slow down,” I cry, struggling to keep up. “I just don’t want to be late. Spago will bump you off if you aren’t on time.” Spago is a very upbeat Spanish restaurant in Chelsea. As a treat for my birthday, Eric is taking me to dinner. I’m more than happy to stay at home and drown myself in my sorrows, but Eric suggests a day full of ‘us’ time—shopping, massages, pedis, and of course, dinner at the best restaurant to show off our newly dressed and pampered bodies. “Here we are!” We walk into the restaurant where crowds of people are standing in the bar area waiting to be served. All the tables are taken from what I can see, and guilty of slowing us down I’m praying our reservation still stands. “Sir, madam, please let me escort you to your table.” The waiter leads us

Look at all of them being happy, I will make sure that their happiness is short lived especially Killian. If I can't have him nobody else can. ******** —Lena— Killian slams his lips to mine. With my back forced against the wall, he nearly knocks the wind out of my lungs, desperate with his need to take me inside this small private bathroom. I hardly have a moment to react, the weight of his body pressing against mine. I’m aware of his cock pressing against my stomach, my desperation exerted in a deep moan as he presses his tongue to the seam of my lips before delving inside my mouth. My arms reach and tangle around his neck, pulling him closer to me. We both lose ourselves in this heated exchange, and despite how very wrong this is, I’m unable to stop, my body p

    —Lachlan— I'm packing my bags getting ready to leave when I hear tiny footsteps running up the steps to my room. The door opens and in walks my son. "Are we going somewhere daddy?" He asks walking up to the bed and climbing on it. I leave what I'm doing and go and seat next to him. "Hey buddy, remember I told you I'd be leaving for a while to go find out some things for your uncle Killian." He looks at me tears already welling up in his eyes and his little lips trembling. "Yea, but I thought me and mum were going with you." Oh Goddess how do I explain leaving to my child that it makes sense he already grew up not seeing me all the time but now that he's growing up it's getting harder for him seeing me go. "Hey buddy I promise you this is the last time after this, me you and your mum we'll finally be a family and I won't leave anymore and you can even come to the pack with me when I need to go there."

    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. Iannis, Eric and Kat have been going round hel

    —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.
