Killian's point of view"No matter how much I tried, I simply just can't believe Alpha Leonardo has no idea where she is," Felix, one of the most annoying members of the Council, huffed angrily, almost banging his fist on the round mound in the Council's court."Enough, Felix, repeating that over and over again won't change anything," Alpha Philip sauntered to his seat. "It's been four weeks now since the blood moon appeared abruptly in the night sky, and still, we haven't been able to find her," his voice was utterly dry and he could barely keep his frustration from his eyes.Everyone in the Council was equally frustrated, including me, but it was for different reasons. This was the fourth meeting summoned by the Council within a bloody week, and the only matter that everyone seemed to be discussing was the white wolf, and each time we seemed to be making no progress at all.It's been four weeks since the blood moon appeared in the sky and the news about the white wolf being alive fl
Killian's point of view"What is it about those bastards that make you defend them?" I yelled, my raging amber eyes met hers. Sheila was frozen on the spot. Her eyes were saying so much but I just couldn't understand the pain behind them.As much as I felt furious, I also hated seeing her this way. It was like she had a lot to say, but just couldn't say it, or wouldn't. What was it about those assholes that made her take their sides? She didn't even know them. Or did she?Fuck. I didn't know. I fought the jealousy that was about to corrupt my thoughts. I didn't want to think that way, there couldn't be anything between Sheila and any of those assholes. But even the first time Kaiser dared to step into my territory, during Sheila's coronation, I could feel there was something between those two.And he did it again when she was framed for attempting to murder Thea and me. He fucking did it again.I shut my eyes in a poor attempt to quell whatever nonsense was going on in my head. My eye
Killian's point of view"Yes, she does, and it's no other than your worst enemy. It's Kaiser Black. That bastard is your mate's lover,"I was frozen. My body was completely numb to all emotions.My amber eyes never shifted from Thea, as hers held mine intensely, watching me so closely.It took a second before the words stopped echoing within the corner walls of my head. And it was just then I realized how absurd it was and how stupid it was for me to even accuse my mate of something so stupid, even worse with a fucking Black.I knew Sheila too well. Even though I knew there was something she was not telling me, this wasn't it. It couldn't be it. Those words of Thea were nothing but lies."Thea," I called her name, thinking deeply. If it was someone else that had rammed into my office, spilling this utter rubbish, I would have had their heart ripped out the second those words were made about my mate. But it was Thea. The least I could do was let her keep her life."What is it, Killian?
Killian's point of viewIt was a gruesome pain. Like I had been stabbed straight in the heart by my very own mate.It'd hurt. It hurt so badly that I couldn't believe this.The pain that was engraved in the deepest corners of my heart transformed as quickly into a severe rage.I could feel the corners of my eyes darken with extreme emotions that entirely shut off my reasoning. The only thing I wanted was to have his blood on my hands. To feel the sickening euphoria of that bloody bastard's heart in my claws.I moved incredulously fast with my nonhuman speed. In a murderous second, I was right next to where Kaiser and Sheila were, I gripped her tightly pulling her away from Kaiser's arms.My eyes tore through the instant shock that was plastered on Sheila's blue eyes. Her eyes gave it all right away. I could see everything that was going through her mind imprinted on her round, shocked gaze, and the blatant truth was she had lied to me. She had a fucking lover, and it was my worst enem
Sheila's point of viewI jammed the door to Killian's chamber shut. He still hasn't returned, and no one seems to know his whereabouts all morning. Not even his beta, his friend. I sighed. Everything might have been much easier if Morgan had returned from the witches' coven. But neither he, Lorenzo, and Valerie were in the castle at the moment and it was already daylight and only a few hours to twilight.I sauntered from Killian's room, exiting the hallways. I was heading back to my chamber, opting for a quick shower when Ria hurried up to me.I stopped at her instant sharp call, swerving around to meet her. She was holding a brown bonded paper in her hands."What is that?" I raised a brow as we continued walking back to my chamber."It's a message. The patrolling guards told me it came this morning for you," she voiced as we reached my chamber. Her voice was normal, frankly, much better than some of the pack members and warriors I had met today. They all wore worried and fearful look
Killian's point of viewStill, I couldn't believe everything I had just witnessed. Sheila and Kaiser. That was something I didn't want to believe even though the harsh truth was staring right at me.I stopped racing past the slothful trees in the forest, pausing for a moment to get my rage under control. It had been out of control the last few days and it was only getting worse because of tomorrow's night crescent moon.I swallowed as much air as possible when I heard the subtle movements in the woods behind me. I turned around to strike when my eyes landed on Thea's darkened brown irises."Argh! Can't you just let me breathe?" I growled. Her presence alone was suffocating. I turned my back to her to leave, but her words made me stop."You see, I was right all along. Sheila had a lover, and he was Kai Black. She betrayed you, Killian. You saw it with your own eyes, that bitch doesn't deserve you."Another furious growl left my lips, and my legs closed the distance between Thea and me.
Killian's point of view"What?!"I heard a series of gasps behind me from Gwen and the warriors."Sheila has been abducted," I repeated slowly, my large hand covering the small arrow that was in my palm, almost crushing it.I felt its sharp pain against my palm, but the pain I felt deep in my chest was far worse. It ruptured through my chest and left my heart in ruins.My knees crashed against the earth and blood spilled on them as a new wave of fear filled the hole in my chest.I groaned, just the thought of Sheila's blood being mixed up with one of these terrified me, and it made me lose control. I fought hard not to. The crescent moon was less than three hours away, and I couldn't lose control, otherwise, both my pack and my mate won't make it through the night. But the pain I felt wasn't easy to push away, I wanted to release it. To find the bloody swine that had my mate.My claws were out as I fought the rage and pain that wanted to consume me, I dug my claws into the earth and r
Killian's point of view"What nonsense are you saying, Valerie?" Those were the first words that managed to fill the air after odd and incredibly long seconds of silence."It's not nonsense, Killian, it's the truth. Sheila, your mate and the gifted one is Leonardo and Kaiser's sister," Valerie again voiced."What the heck are you doing, Valerie?" Kaiser gaited forward in rage."Shut it," I growled, silencing everyone, my deep, and now darkened eyes moved from Valerie to Leonardo who hasn't muttered a fucking word, or moved an inch.His cautious blue eyes were on me, regarding me like a damned hawk. This couldn't be. I released a small, dry chuckle that lasted for only a second. "This- This is a joke," I shook my head, taking several steps backward.I turned to Morgan and for the first time, he was completely frozen in his spot. He was speechless and confused. I don't think he realized this was just a lie. A brazen and unrealistic lie. Sheila couldn't be their sister, she couldn't be a
