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
Sheila's point of view I kept smiling at the members of the pack and everyone present at the celebration. I was standing at a corner in the grand hall, wearing one of the silken dresses, tailored by Lady Elenore, who's rumoured by Brielle to be the finest clothier in all of North Central. It had a high neck, and a small opening, showing off the valley of my chest. Killian had made a fuss about it, insisting it was quite revealing but the girls came to my defence, and I particularly loved it, as well as the astounding wonders Brielle made of my brown hair, tying it into a neat ponytail. I was chatting with a few Lunas that had accompanied their mates to the party. It was a small feast, celebrating me and the pack, as I have officially been linked to the pack, and hence I could mind-link every member of the pack because Killian and I have marked each other. Also, it was a small feast for the pack, celebrating their freedom from the crescent curse that has plagued them for years. We w
Sheila's point of view I shifted underneath the covers, stirring on the large bed. I stretched to the other side of the bed where Killian was laying but I was greeted by a disturbing coldness from the sheets. My eyes tore open, and I groaned, adjusting my eyes to the bright sun rays that sneaked through the window, descending on me. I rose to a sitting position on the bed, brushing back my long brown hair. I peered at the window, the fun was shining so brightly and I had overslept. I moved my eyes back to the bed, but Killian wasn't beside me. He must have woken up early to get ready for the day. Today was a little busy, as Killian would be attending a meeting at the Council's castle, and I also had a lot of things to tend to in the pack, amongst which was looking forward to kicking Thea out of the pack. I left the bed, showered quickly and got dressed in one of my training clothes. I joined the warriors at the training field and I trained with Brielle, Ria and Allen. All through, I
Killian's point of viewSheila and I walked back to the castle, after finishing up training. I showered and got dressed for the meeting at the Council today. I will be going with Allen and Mason, since Valerie and Lorenzo have not returned since yesterday. They had made a short trip to the south, along with a witch from Leonardo's pack.Well, since I had learned the truth about Sheila's true identity, I have been trying my hardest not to get in any sort of confrontation with those brothers of hers, and I noticed so have they, at least, Leonardo does try to keep Kaiser in check. We still very much hated each other, but Valerie was right, only Sheila would come out hurt in all of this. I can't imagine how it must make her feel, having a mate who despised her family and a family who despised her mate.I really can't trust myself to make any promises, but I swear, I would do my hardest to tolerate her brothers, and I know for her, they would do the same and even worse. That's why we've be
Killian's point of view"Well, if you can't tell her, I guess I should," Thea crossed her arms against her chest. This woman was pure evil, how couldn't I see it all this time by her side? She was clearly faking everything. "She has to know her place now, and the pack needs to know that I am the one about to have your—""Shut up, Thea!" I had no idea how I was before her, and my hand was around her neck, strangling her with my sharp claws."Killian, if what you want is to murder me and rid yourself of your responsibility, then fine. After all, you are no different from your monstrous father!" she bit out, still smiling, without even fear for her life.Thea was indubitably sick to her bones. Her astute brown eyes had a dangerous glow in them. One that held so much evil.I moved away from her, retracting my claws. "You are crazy, Thea," I said to her, walking away from her. "This stunt of yours won't last long.""Whatever you say, Killian, but I won't be leaving this pack, not today, n
Sheila's point of viewI was in a meeting with Morgan and some ranking old wolves from the village pack at the far northern borders of the pack's territory.I could hear nothing except the consistent tapping of my padded fingers against the flat surface of the round table in the court.I had tried to tear my thoughts away, but I couldn't. Killian's words had been hounding my thoughts all morning. I just couldn't fathom his words. And I couldn't quell the rage that kept growing within me every time Killian's words echoed in my mind.I couldn't understand why he still wanted Thea around after everything. I thought he would be ecstatic to have her out of the pack. Several thoughts raced through my mind as I tried to come up with a reason why Killian would plead with me not to throw Thea out, yet.I took a deep breath when I heard the sharp call of my name. I snapped my head to my right where Morgan was seated not far from me.His green careful eyes were on me, watching me closely with co
Sheila's point of view"Sheila," Killian rushed to where Morgan, Maggie, and I were gathered. He moved closer to me, and I jerked up on my feet.My penetrating blue eyes that held my tears and stabbing anguish landed at Killian."Sheila, I swear I was going to tell you–" he started, but before he could speak further, I walked straight past him, grabbing a handful of my dress in my hands, I raced out of the Castle, sprinting into the woods.I was far from in control of anything, especially my emotions. I felt a grueling gruesome sensation steer in my bones. There was deep turmoil in my broken soul. I didn't stop, I kept racing without any direction. I just wanted to stop the hurting in my soul. This was all too much to bear. Just when I had thought my life was finally in order, Thea was pregnant.She's pregnant with my mate's child. Killian's child. She's carrying his heir.I crashed against the earth, shedding tears profusely. I couldn't contain it all within. Thea once again would be
