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
Sheila's point of viewI groaned awake. My head was throbbing hard against my skull. I winced at the intense pain racing through my bones.Slowly, my heavy lashes pulled apart and my eyes fluttered open.I inhaled deeply, feeling so weak, I couldn't even move a muscle and the ache in my head grew worse.I mustered all my strength, pushing myself up to a seating position. I groaned loudly, grabbing both sides of my head with my hands in a poor attempt to stop my head from exploding literally.Gosh, my head hurts like hell. My whole body vibrated with pain, I placed my hand on my neck, feeling the stinging pain that was spreading from my neck.I realized I was bleeding, it wasn't deep, but I still felt intense pain from there. What the hell happened to me?I fought the dizziness that tempted me back to slumber. I tried to concentrate hard on my thoughts, trying to remember what had happened to me.I sank deeper into my memories when instantly, broken pieces from my memories began to glu
Sheila's point of viewI gasped weakly, placing a hand over my neck where I had wounded myself. I was beginning to think this was a bad idea as the blood on my neck began to rush out fastly. I was bleeding badly. The worst-case scenario is that I may probably die before I get the chance to break out of here or before Killian found me. I knew he would be going crazy trying to find me.And that's exactly what Lucius wants. He wanted them here. He didn't want the curse to be broken, thereby ensuring Killian's and the Pack's soon demise all in the name of greed.I groaned, as the strength in my hand was slowly escaping, and my blue dress and cloak had been smeared with my blood. I couldn't even move properly on the bed as every movement on the bed was restricted by the chains binding me.I tried to seek Adie out but it was again useless. It was as if there was a wall separating us.After a while of bleeding out, I pulled up from the bed, forcing myself into a seating position. I brought t
Sheila's point of viewIn a quick motion, I was on the bed and Killian was on top of me, kissing me. His kisses started as slow, and passionate. I could feel every emotion in them. It was like he was communicating some kind of message to me. It was so deep and made me feel things. It was always like this. Whenever Killian and I did these things it always felt like it was our first.There were sparks and goosebumps all over my skin, not because of the cold air around the chamber, but because Killian stopped kissing my lips and began kissing my neck and my shoulder blade. It made my body weak.He positioned himself firmly on top of me as he continued assaulting my neck, I felt him graze the crook of my neck, at my marking spot. He took his sweet time before returning his lips to mine.I shut my eyes, grabbing hold of Killian's jacket. I was literally dying of so much pleasure and what's worse, he was barely doing anything to me.Killian pulled me up in his arms, and his fingers moved to
Sheila's point of viewThe words echoed more in my head as Killian's persistent stare was on me. I swear if I hadn't been so sure that I said those words, I would have sworn Killian didn't hear them.I felt his calm breath on me, while my heart banged so fast that it drummed in my ears. Still, Killian didn't say anything. I couldn't even figure out his emotions. They were over the place. A mixture of pain, rage, sadness, and total confusion.He shut his eyes and pulled away from me. I almost hissed in protest, I held onto the soft fabric of my dress as Killian started to pace around the room with his eyes closed and a hand in his hair."Killian," I moved closer to where he was, I couldn't even hide the trembling in my voice. I was terrified. So terrified of Killian's reaction to the truth. On many occasions, I have imagined just how things would play out when he finally learns the truth and the outcome was never good. It always resulted in Killian and I breaking up.Just the thought o
Sheila's point of viewI folded my arms against my chest as everyone's eyes were on me as if expecting me to make a decision. Were they being serious right now?It was like they were asking me to choose between my family and Killian. No. I won't be a part of this. I refuse to be a part of this. I shook my head, taking a step back. "No. Don't drag me into this," I said, turning away.Leonardo motioned forward to me, his large arms wrapped me around his body, and I could feel myself rolling my eyes. But it wasn't me. I looked in Killian's direction and his hooded eyes were on us."We need to talk, but not tonight," he said, placing a kiss on my forehead. "Take care, sister," he whispered before turning to an already fuming Kaiser who was not liking how things were going. "Let's go."Kaiser shook his head, meeting my blue eyes. But before he spoke, I hugged him. Even if no one understood Kaiser's rage, I did. I knew Leonardo did too, but it wasn't the same.Fourteen years ago, when Killi
