~ KILLIANI looked at my side of the bed and there lay Laura. I couldn't tell what it was but she seemed to glow all the more every passing day. Just maybe I might have fallen in love with her. I didn't want to but it is what it seems to be.Thinking about my intentions toward her, I couldn't think of what to do. Proceeding or hanging up my boots was what filled my head.If I kept her babies and killed her, would I be able to live with the aftermath? The mate bond already drove me crazy toward her. I didn't want to involve myself in chaos with myself. My wolf desires she lives but I wish otherwise.How could I have thrown away all I'd felt for Katrina just like that? This isn't ordinary. Won't I go crazy if my mate died by my hands? Fear gripped me and not willing to dwell on these thoughts, I got up from the bed and headed out of the room.Laura lay there on the bed as I smiled, walking out of the room. I stepped out pulled into my car and drove over to see Jared. I needed to make a
Katrina's POV.I made my way into my room, pacing back and forth with tears flowing freely down my eyes. I was mad, angry, and broken. I couldn't handle this any longer. This had continued for far too long “I can't do this anymore," I said to myself.I dropped heavily into my bed, bouncing gently on my bed as I gathered the pillow and yelled into it. I took on my wipes and cleaned my face. I stopped after a long period of crying, my eyes were swollen so much I found it hard to see. I felt a tingling and fiery sensation around my eyes.Getting up from the bed, I proceeded to the restroom and washed my eyes as I yelled over and breathed deeply. My emotions were all wrapped around me. I needed to sort this out. I loved Killian so much with all of my heart, all of my strength, and the entirety of my being. Even with all I felt, he didn't give two fucks about me. I thought it was all about Laura but just the other day, I was disrespected by the Alpha's guards. Even his beta doesn't see
~ KILLIAN ‘PEACE HALL PACK’.The sign proclaimed in large blue-colored letters, sending a shiver down my spine. The name alone sounded ominous, conjuring images of rogue wolves and clandestine gatherings.“Maybe this isn't such a good idea, Killian,” My wolf whispered in my ear while I stopped watching. Even he felt an eerie feeling coming from the village."I don't think I like it here.”I didn't either, but what choices did we have?Despite the misgivings of my wolf, I pushed mine aside and asked him to remember why we came hereI nodded.“Yes." My focus was fixed solely on the urgent need to clear my head and plan for what was before me.Breathless and weary, I stumbled through the gates, greeted by wary eyes and cautious whispers. I could feel the weight of their scrutiny upon me, their unspoken questions hanging heavy in the air. But there was no time for explanations or inquiries—I needed to be away from my pack, away from everyone I knew, and seeking sanctuary from my very own
~ SELENAI was worried. Deeply worried, I had not seen Killian for three days now. Everyone seemed unbothered. It felt like there was a signed agreement to keep his whereabouts a secret.Walking out of the house, I met Killian's beta, Jared driving in. He looked happy to see me, or so I thought. He'd come to the house twice a day since Killian was gone and he also refused to let me in on the Alpha's location, telling me it was an immediate official engagement.“Who leaves a pregnant woman, who is his mate for ‘an official engagement,’ without letting them know,” I thought to myself. Something didn't seem right also in the pack house, the guards seemed to be having the times of their lives and would not be about their duties except when Jared was around. “What if something went wrong, would they be able to give an account of their actions,” I thought again.I wanted to let Jared know about what was happening but would he regard my words, would he even do anything about it? Besides I w
~ SELENA At the hospital, I felt uneasy. Even the babies in my stomach were scared for my sake, but we still had to go regardless.As I stepped out of Jared’s car, my heart hammered against my chest, each beat a drumroll of anxiety. I adjusted my clothes, shaking my body and trying to put myself in composure, and slipped on a pair of oversized sunglasses.The glasses were too big for my head, but they matched the jacket. A dark brown coat draped over my shoulders completed my makeshift disguise. I hoped fervently that these alterations would be enough to shield me from prying eyes. I hoped not to encounter any of those people who had been in the hospital when I couldn’t afford my bill and were ridiculed. Although I stood staring at myself, I looked a bit different now, but I still hoped not to set my gaze on them again, for the shame of it. The hospital stood before me again, a fortress of white walls, a pungent smell, and echoing corridors. With a deep breath, I pushed open the d
~ SELENA That’s the guy I saw in my dream who tried to kill me, Thompson,” I said as Clara looked at me with a surprised look.As Thompson's gaze bore into mine, I knew that there was no running from this. Whatever he wanted, whatever he knew, I was trapped. And there was nowhere left to hide.I swallowed hard, pinching Clara by the arm, I winked at her and nudged my head, “What do you want?” I engaged Thompson while I tried to use my face to tell my friend that we needed to run.Was my dream coming to pass?!” I thought to myself. I had dreamt of this same guy some months ago, and he tried to kill me. “But who is this other man with him and what does he want?”“I want you,” the other man said“What? Can he read my thoughts too?” Scared as I was, boldness filled my face. “What do you mean?” I questioned, boldness etched in my voice.“I am here to take you away, to a place you never knew you should be,” he said.Thompson's words echoed in my mind, leaving me scared as I tried to put
~ SELENA“Get the car ready Thompson, let me get her ready,” Drogo said as he held his chin, strapping the gun back into his pocket.“You want to kill me, kill me now, and let’s get this all done with,” I yelled but he only stood there, studying me, and then, he smirked a bit.“Why are you in such a hurry? It's not like I’m the one to kill you anyway. I’m just the messenger, why don’t you just relax?”I stood frozen in disbelief as Drogo was there, standing before me with a dark and evil smirk playing on his lips, as he rolled his palms against one another as though wanting to do something sinister to me. My mind raced, trying to comprehend the situation. What was he after? What did he want? I watched him pull out the gun, as he flashed it before me. He folded his arms in his pits while holding firm to the gun “Like what you see?” He asked as he laughed at me without end."What do you want?" I managed to choke out, my voice barely above a whisper, though the fear coursing through m
SERENAJared moved swiftly and sent a kick to the face of Drogo. The kick connecting perfectly sent him on his back. Not giving him breathing space, he proceeded with the right combination of punches, and also using his right hand, he stabbed him multiple times over with the silver dagger. Drogo, not willing to pack down, threw his weight on Jared, punching him in the face, once, twice, and up to seven times in a row. For a moment, I thought he had offed Jared, as Jared lay lifeless on the ground. Drogo made his way to me, trying to pull my neck, but as though the moon goddess had my prayers, Jared silently got up and walked toward Drogo, sending the silver dagger finely into his shoulder. He punched him on the jaw, then sent another punch to his cheeks, and finally, he kicked the dagger further down into his shoulder. Drogo fell there, bleeding, but his hands seemed to move.“Get up!” Jared said as he stretched his hand out again to help me. There was no time to ask questions; I di
