Sheila's point of viewI flipped through the pages of the grimoire in my hands. It was my mother's grimoire and passed down to the female witches in my family since it was the females in my family that were witches.My fingers trailed on the words on the page, reading through them. I was in my mother's private spell room on the top floor, going through her stuff.It's been two days already since I have been here at my brothers' pack and I've locked myself in here, reading through my mother's journal and practicing some spells from her grimoire. I just realized my mother was a weaver. Every witch had a special gift to their magic. It all came differently. Some witches were channelers, capable of channeling magic from anything that had magical energy in them.Some were weavers, like my mother, also known as creators of spells. We had the visionaries, who could have a glimpse of the future, the healers, and a lot more.Sometimes, a gift usually surfaces with time, but so far along with V
Sheila's point of viewI was in my chamber. And I just couldn't fall asleep after my conversation with Leonardo. I couldn't stop thinking of the so many possibilities that Thea could have a lover and her child wasn't Killian's.And I wished that was the case. But I only sounded like a mate who was trying to refute the obvious truth that another woman was expecting her mate's child.That was exactly how my newfound theory and suspicion sounded to me. But I didn't care how I sounded. I had always trusted my gut feeling, and I always knew something about Thea was off. She was capable of doing anything to remain in Killian's pack and keep us apart. And I gave her what she always wanted by leaving the pack.Valerie was right. I shouldn't let her get everything. I sighed, falling on the bed. My eyes fell on Killian's letter that was on the bed beside me.I reached for it, pulling it open. I felt a tug in my chest as my eyes began to carry each word. I couldn't fight the pain that enveloped
Killian's point of viewI was dying to have her in my arms, but the expressionless look on her beautiful face scared me. She just came back, I didn't know if I could let her leave again.She took a few steps closer to me, her alluring blue eyes not breaking apart from mine."If I knew you didn't miss me as much as I did, I would have reconsidered coming back," she muttered slowly, taking one step closer that we were only now a breath away. I felt my breathing rise instantly, as her mouthwatering scent invaded my nostrils, and now I just wanted to feel her soft body against mine, and her sweet lips on mine."Are you kidding me? Can't you see what a wreck I am," my voice came out breathlessly, in a whisper and I felt my heart melt away when a smile appeared on Sheila's lips.She leaned so close to me, that I could feel the softness of her chest press hard against the unsteady rising of my chest. "I can see Killian," I felt her sweet scorching breath against my ears, "but if you missed m
Killian's point of viewI stirred on the bed, inhaling deeply. I was forced to push my eyes open as the sweet scent of my mate invaded my nostrils and heightened my senses.I moaned into the softest brown hair that tickled my face. I had to choke back a laugh at the ravenous woman beside me and the manner in which her long natural curls were scattered on the bed. She was sleeping next to me, with a hand of hers on my chest, and her head next to mine. She was beautiful.I couldn't help but take a few moments to relish the sweet feeling of having my mate back again in my arms. I took my sweet time scanning her flawless figure. Her perfect thick brows, her rosy cheeks, and her irresistible lips. I fought the urge to kiss her awake, she was sleeping peacefully and the dark circles around the skin of her eyes told me she hadn't been resting well.She was still naked on the bed, with only the silk sheets, covering the lower half of her body while her exposed sight was making me hard already
Thea's point of viewI stopped at the entrance of the hallway, the instant my eyes fell on that bitch, gracefully seated on a chair, having her meal at the dining hall. So it was true. She had returned back to the pack.I clutched the handful of my dress in my hand, furiously as my brown blazing eyes glowered at her from afar. As if sensing my presence, that bloody witch tilted her head towards my direction and her lucent blue eyes collided with mine.She let out a lip-tight smile as I walked into the dining hall and settled on the seat opposite hers.I pulled up a shrewd smile, watching her. "You are back?" I muttered as one of the helpers served some food for me. My eyes never moved away from her."As you can see," she said, sipping from her drink, holding my stare."Why are you back? I thought you had some decency to understand the situation," I said, my entire focus on her as I couldn't understand why the bitch was back. She was a problem. Her presence itself was a problem, and ju
Sheila's point of viewI remained silent and unmoving for a while, watching as Thea faded into one of the hallways.I sighed, clasping my hands together as I brought my eyes back to the table. From what just transpired between Thea and me, more than ever, I believed my suspicions were true. Thea wasn't expecting Killian's pup.That was a good thing and meant she indeed had a lover. But I had no way to unmask her lies. I had only bluffed but I had nothing to prove that she was a complete whore who had a lover while pretending to be in love with Killian. For that, I could only rely on Thea.I had never seen those shrewd brown gazes of hers ever hold in so much fear. It was obvious my words had shaken her to the core, and she cares a whole lot about protecting her despicable lie. I can only hope she does something drastic, something that would finally help me throw the whore out of my pack, and permanently out of Killian's life.Oh, what joy that would be!I breathed in, pulling up from
Killian's point of viewI was still in the meeting with some of my warriors, Morgan, Mason, and Allen when the door burst open and my eyes lifted and fell on Valerie's deep purple eyes.Her deep crystals reflected an emotion I have never seen before. It made my heart bang against my chest."Everyone, leave. Now!" I ordered, not taking my eyes off Valerie. The last time I had seen her was when I handed Thea's items to her, and I was informed by Gwen that she had left the pack in a haste. With the way she looked, I could only conclude that she had just returned and had come here straight away.I watched the last warrior leave my office, leaving just Morgan, Valerie, and me.Valerie stalked closer and I offered her a seat, but she shook her head."What happened, Valerie?" Morgan asked, also feeling her uneasiness."This is unbelievable, you all can't begin to imagine what I just found out," she muttered, and for a second, her purple eyes flickered with rage."Is this about Thea?" I queri
Sheila's point of viewMy whole body was numb. I still haven't recovered from the shock of finding out that Thea was the witch. She was the fucking witch that has been after me and Killian for a long time.Oh, goddess. How couldn't I have known this, or at least suspected it? I knew Thea Chrysler was a devil in disguise but never it occurred to me that she was a witch. A fucking witch.That means she knew all along. She knew about Lucius, and about me. She knew about my identity. She knew I was a witch. Of course, she did. She found out when I had fought against her."Surprised?" Her voice pealed into my mind, gaining my attention.My eyes leveled on her bright brown gaze that was gleaming brightly in amusement."Yes, this is indeed a shock to me. I never expected that you of all people would be the witch," I said, regarding her, as her smile deepened. "I got to hand it to you, Thea, you played us all quite well,""Thank you, but frankly it wasn't that hard," she dragged her hands up,
