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
Sheila's point of view I released a small whooshing of air from my lungs as Leonardo's words rang in my ears and made a crack in my chest, allowing so much pain in my soul. When the truth was summed up in those words, I realized it wasn't anything. I shut my eyes closed, and still, those treacherous tears managed to sneak past the jammed gate of my eyes, rolling down my cheeks. "You heard," I said in a careless whisper, knowing his spies at Killian's pack must have known as well. It wouldn't take long before the whole Capital learns of this as well. "I keep my men there to know everything that has to do with my sister," his voice became low and soft. "That bastard is having a pup with his lover, is that okay with you?" No. I hated it. I wanted to murder both that bitch and Killian. I wanted to do everything to vent the pain I felt. But I knew Killian also felt the same pain, we were mates after all. I was up from the chair, ambling to the tall window, my hands hugged my arms tigh
Killian's point of view I pinched the skin on my forehead, exiting Sheila's chamber. I had stayed up all night waiting for her, but she never came back. I had thought she stayed somewhere else, but she was neither in the witches' quarters nor with Brielle and Ria nor in my office. I walked so hastily, like a freaking lunatic who hasn't had his medication yet, as I made my way to my chamber. I knew that was pretty stupid to think Sheila spent the night there when that would be the last thing she'd do. But I was running out of ideas, and I just wanted to find her, to know she was right here in the castle. It didn't matter if she was still mad at me. She had every right to be. What I had done was unforgivable. Even though I hated the fucked up situation, this was all my fault. I had let the devil herself into my pack and gave her rights to me. Rights that belong solely to Sheila, my mate. And now, Thea was pregnant with my child, that was something I never wanted and everyone in the pa
