Happy reading, lovelies! Tell me your thoughts and your feelings while reading this chapter. The last chapters were so hard to write but I love seeing all the scenes come together... However and whatever you think is going to happen next, just bear in mind that I promised you guys a happy ending. So, please send me your love in your messages, not your hate LOL... lovelots! KT
Cillian The rancid smell of blood deepens as lifeless bodies turn frigid on the ground. Echoes of howls and growls breaking through the woods signal more count to the beta’s private army. The sound of fighting werewolves tearing each other apart can be heard across the ranch. It’s only been over an hour but the blood spilled here is the most blood I’ve seen in my lifetime. None of all these matter to me right now. All I care about is getting to my mate and my pup. Kayleigh is bleeding. She’s hurt. They’re hurt. I cannot forgive myself if something happens to either of them. Still gripping both weapons with each hand, Kayleigh inspects the blood dribbling down to her ankles. The sight of blood on her skin weakens my knees, but I will myself not to stop running. Instead, I push myself harder, faster, and steadier. I pummel my body through a mob of beasts trying to stop me from reaching my mate. I keep my eyes on Kayleigh while I chant a prayer for her to be strong and safe. Alarm
Hey, lovelies! I hope you guys are doing well. I would like to apologize for not updating chapters for more than a week now. We're back to school and that means we’re also back doing all their extra-curricular activities (soccer, basketball, voice lessons, anime drawing classes, etc…). I’ve been super busy mommy-ing for the past two weeks, you guys. I’m already wishing it’s school break again hahaha. I want to let you guys know that I have not abandoned the book and will not leave my readers hanging. I just need some time to get my family back in schedule. I pretty much just let winged it during summer break. As you know, the last chapter was very intense. I’m working on the next 2 chapters so that I can drop them at the same day to keep the momentum going. I’m hoping that I’ll be in the right headspace to continue writing very soon. I do want to know if you have any questions so far. Just drop your questions to the comments and I’ll definitely come back to answer them.
Kayleigh The intensity of my heart beat feels like it’s about to hammer out of my chest. I catch a glimpse of Cillian, Andrei, and Gunner wrestling a horde of feral wolves. Gisella and I exchange worried looks while we battle against our own attackers and fight to survive. I keep an eye on our friends and allies, ready to lend a hand to anyone who needs back up. I spring in the air to stab my dagger into a rogue wolf’s heart before slitting the throats of two other werewolves as my feet land on the ground. Attacks are coming left and right and I’m trying very hard to keep up even though all I want to do is curl up in a corner and nestle in Cillian’s arms to seek refuge from my distraught heart. The realization that my baby is at risk is clawing at the edge of my thoughts. Blood rushes over my head and the nerves from my neck all the way to my forehead tighten as I feel another faint trickle of blood down my thighs. A few minutes ago, the healer asked if I was okay. I lied. I w
Kayleigh “What do you want, Roland?” Cillian repeats in a snarl. “Oh, now that I involve the baby you finally ask me what I want. You don’t think I know? You don’t think no one heard you while you were talking about it during your little rendezvous at the bridge? I should have started with the bundle of joy conversation,” Roland smites. Although I don’t see his face behind me, I hear the threatening snigger from his voice as he lightly pokes my belly with my own blade. My heart beat is drumming its battle cry. My mind is running amok. My baby is in even more danger now and I’m not going to stand by. I peer at my lover’s striking but indignant expression as I slowly inhale deeply. Cillian’s head moves slightly to peer at the dagger pointing at my belly before his red Alpha eyes meet mine. It was just a split of a second gaze but one I needed. For some reason, his protective glance provides a sense of security. Letting me know that he shares my anger, fear, and helplessness. “
Kayleigh My voice echoes through the moonlit night like a loud ethereal boom, rendering all wolf bloods unmoving in shock. As for the rogue wolves and beta’s army, they are frozen in their places, held prison by my will, unable to move even if they want to. Just how I intended it to be. Understanding that the imminent emergence of my wolf puts our side at an advantage, Gio and Andrei start directing orders to take the opportunity to subdue our adversaries. Like a slow motion scene in a movie, I fix my eyes to the crimson-blood eyes that are looking straight at me with so much love and admiration. A wave of warmth dawns over me, making my knees weak as I marvel at the sight of my lover… my man…my Alpha. And the love of my life. “Mate!” The word leaves my mouth as soon as I lock stares with Cillian. A word I’ve been wanting to say to broadcast to the world that this man, this alpha, is mine… as I am his. “Mate!” His response beckons my whole attention, my whole body, and my wh
Cillian Engulfed with emotions brought by witnessing the beginning of Kayleigh shifting into her wolf, watching her unleash her Alpha Luna essence on our adversaries, and experiencing the sensations brought by tethering our past, present, and future as fated mates, I stare into Kayleigh’s once ocean blues now turned crimson reds. The blazing eyes of an Alpha Luna. The windows to my fated mate’s soul. Two orbs that can captivate and disable me just with a single stare. “My mate, my Alpha!” Hearing her stake her claim on me awakens every carnal nerve in my body. “My mate, my Luna!” I proclaim, hoping she hears the eagerness in my voice to take her home, finish this mating bond, and give her the mating mark. I’ve known that this moment will be emotional for her, but I wasn’t expecting to feel these overwhelming sensations myself. The exact emotions are hard to describe, but they’re akin to falling in love, to coming home after being lost for so long, or to holding someone
More cough. More blood. It could only mean that the internal bleeding is getting worse. I was hoping that the barrier would be fully lifted by now so I can get this weapon out of my body and heal. “No, no, no! You’re hurt.” Kayleigh runs to me before I can make it to where she was standing. “Baby, I’m okay. Calm down. How are you feeling?” I open my arms but she doesn’t come near, probably worried that she’d push the silver knife deeper. “That is my dagger… it’s laced with poison…” she points out. Kayleigh cups her mouth and stands frozen, holding her sobs in. I knew that. The mountain ash and wolfsbane mixture was meant to kill werewolves that attack her. My heart twists in ache. Watching her cry burns my chest with a need to wipe her tears away. I move my hand to grip the back of her neck and pull her close to me. “My love, don’t cry. Is our baby okay?” With my hand splayed across her jaw, I use my thumb to dab the tears falling down her cheek. “I think so. Cillian
Kayleigh No. No. No. “Cillian… Kill… D-don’t leave m-me…” I whisper in between my sobs while I cradle his head as it rests on my lap. I drop feather kisses on his face the way he used to when he’s trying to woo me. My lips feel warmth starting to dissipate from his skin while I leave a trail of kisses, stamping his face with mixed tears, blood, snot, and even saliva. It doesn’t matter because I know that Cillian wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s hard to breathe and speak in between my cries. I don’t even know what to say, anyway. There’s so much stuff going on in my head and I’m having a hard time sorting out what I want to say and do. My wolf is here, I just need to let it surface so I can maybe, maybe, heal Cillian. But how? How do I call my wolf to come forward? “S-s-somebody help him! H-help us!” My shoulders sag from feeling hopeless and desperate. Cillian’s wound --- I know it’s lethal, but he’s an Alpha. Even without his full aura, his body will process
