The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within Chapter 29
Killian's point of viewHer bright blue crystals stared deep into my eyes like they were invading the gates of my very own soul, searching through them, or maybe wanting answers. I still didn't pull away, and neither did she make a move beneath me.Sincerely, I didn't want to pull away, not with that gaze of hers sucking me in as if seducing me. She was a bloody seductress, and she barely realized it. I could feel her hot breath fanning my face while my gaze remained fixed on her.I was trying my best to mask my emotions, to pull up the cold mask that I often adopt when I'm around her, but I was failing. I had fallen deep into the blue waters of her gaze, and I didn't care if I drowned. My life was hers to take if she wished.Sheila stirred a little beneath me, her body pulling up slowly against me, but I still didn't pull away from her. My gaze continued to focus on her. Now her head leveled up to meet my gaze, with her face a breath away from mine. Her nose touched mine. Her heartbe

Sheila's point of viewI was strolling down the castle grounds, loving the feel of the cool evening breeze against my skin. I was just returning from Killian's office. I had spent all day there, enclosed in the same space as my mate. Even though we were literally at both ends of his large office, what mattered more was that I was slowly getting involved in the matters of the pack. Even when Morgan, Mason, Allen, and a few other ranked warriors had returned for the meeting, I remained in the office. He briefed them on what transpired at the council's meeting and also told them about the ritual the witches were going to conduct to find some magical stone.A greater part of my attention was on the books and journals I was reading through that contained everything about the pack, down to its history. Even though it was all pack business, I couldn't deny the truth that, like an idiot, I loved being near him. His presence and scent always seem to calm me.I released an inward smile, roving

Sheila's point of viewI regretted those words as soon as they left my lips.Killian's gaze hardened, growing darker and deadlier with a striking rage.In a flash, his body pulled away from mine and walked back to the middle of the field."Come at me, and don't hesitate. Fight like you are literally fighting for your survival." His words were clear and held no emotion at all. It was brutally cold.I picked up the sword laying on the ground, holding it tightly as I took my stance, but my eyes were on his chest instead.I shifted my gaze to him. He was staring at me with dark, unknowing eyes.I lunged at him, and again, Killian slapped the sword from my hands. His hand, this time, shoved me against the tree, aiming for my chest."If I was a real threat, your heart would be in my hand right now. You have to fight like you badly want to live," His voice sounded like a high-pitched yell."What happened to you, Killian? How did you get those scars?" My lips ranted so stupidly, as my eyes dw

Killian's point of viewI was standing at the entrance of the underground cave in the castle, my eyes gazing gently upward. I watched as the sun was so eager to switch places with the moon. Darkness had already made its arrival known, informing every member of the Crescent North Pack of the mayhem and danger that awaited us soon enough.After my morning training with Sheila, I went to the training field to train with some warriors. I could feel everyone's anxiety for tonight. Some had started to prepare, while the younger wolves were training harder.It broke my heart to see my people in this state. I couldn't concentrate on anything, and I had intentionally avoided going into my office. I knew Sheila would be there. I didn't trust myself not to do something that I'd end up regretting. Just yesterday I almost lost it and almost marked her. If Morgan hadn't stepped in just in time and pulled me out of that insanity, I would have involved Sheila in all of this mess, and being a part of

Third person's point of viewKillian felt a pointed piercing in his soul, and something within him shook awake. Something dangerous and dark. It was spreading through every bone in his body, infecting his blood with its darkness. He struggled deeper to contain the demon in his chest. But it was far stronger, wanting freedom and dominance. Without warning, his eyes fluttered open, shining a bright torch of red. Killian's lips flew open, releasing a threatening growl.Instantly, darkness covered Killian's consciousness. And the demon was free.Killian's body vibrated, releasing a loud, threatening growl that caused the earth to quiver. Tiny rocks inside the cave crumbled to the ground as another growl left Killian's lips. His eyes were burning a bright shade of red. He was far from being in control. His subconscious was trapped somewhere within the dark cave of his heart. His bloodshot eyes meant his demon was in control.Slowly, he pulled his head up. His glowing red eyes fell on Thea.

Sheila's point of viewI was so restless. My legs kept pacing back and forth across the floor of my chamber. I couldn't sit still. Hell, there was no way I could even fall asleep. The loud growls and howling penetrated through the wall of my chamber. At every painful howl, I felt pain, as if something in my chest was being ripped out.I had no idea what was going on out there, but with how Morgan's broken gaze held so much pain and fear, it was something really dangerous. My heart kept on racing, thinking about Killian. Somehow, I felt as though those thundering growls were his. It was like he was in some kind of pain. They sounded so desperate, almost like a broken cry for help.My legs collapsed on the humid floor at the thought of Killian in pain. God, I need to get to him.I needed to see Killian so desperately. My legs charged with unrecognizable energy, and I was up on my feet. When I left my chamber, there wasn't a single soul in the castle. I left the castle walls, moving into

Sheila's point of viewValerie had just asked me if I wanted to learn the truth. The truth? About what? Deep down, I wanted to know the truth about everything that was going on. It seemed as though a lot was being hidden from me.I followed behind Valerie as quietly as possible into her spell room as my thoughts played on in my head. For some reason, the room felt as cold as ice. I could feel chills running down my spine and there wasn't even a single window left open. It could just be because I knew whatever truth the witch was about to tell me couldn't be pleasant, whatever it may have been."What is it you want to know?" She jogged me out of my thoughts with her question."Everything that is being hidden from me about the pack and Killian. I need to know exactly what happened tonight." I paused, crossing my hands to warm myself up. "Valerie, Killian was utterly–" I was struggling to find the right words."Different," Valerie offered.I nodded. Feeling my legs growing weak."What yo

Killian's point of viewI felt a warm feeling on my lips as intense sparks kindled within me. Slowly, my eyes pushed open, and the first thing they found was Sheila's face, inches away from mine. Her warm, slender hands were over me.She pulled her eyes open and they connected with mine.Her eyes went round, her lips stole a smile. "Killian," she called softly, and I looked around to realize we were in my chamber.How did I get here?I couldn't remember anything from the time I was in the cave with Thea.My eyes broadened, recalling the demon took control over me, but everything after that I couldn't remember.The door squeaked open, Morgan came in, and beside him was Allen. Thea raced through the door, and in seconds she was in my arms."Killian I'm so happy you're fine." Thea's tear-stained face pulled closer to mine, and she kissed me right in front of my mate. From the corner of my eyes, I noticed Sheila become still, before exiting the room.My eyes drifted to my brother and Alle

The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within THE END
Sheila's point of viewI adjusted the little bundle of joy in my arms, feeling his tiny warmth against my body. He was simply beautiful, sleeping peacefully in my arms as I fiddled with his baby fingers.My lips curled into a small smile, and for a second, I couldn't hide the elation that swirled within my chest just looking at his adorable little face. Slowly, I walked to the beautiful wooden cradle and gently placed Wren in it.Staring at his beautiful face, I couldn't stop my mind from thinking about my dreams that had been constant for a week now. At first, it confused me, because even after the war and everything, some things had still not made sense to me. Like the visions I had seen from Amelie's crystal ball. She had been lucid with her words that my choice would decide whatever future was to come.At first, I had thought my death would be the way out to save everyone I loved and ensure a future where everyone survived. But it wasn't supposed to be so, my death would have ruin
The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within Chapter 182
Killian's point of viewI held Sheila's body in my arms. She was fucking cold, and her heartbeat was getting slower by the second. I clutched her tightly to myself, my amber eyes moving up ahead to where Zeriyah, Valerie, Lorenzo, Zena, Gwen, and the few witches that didn't join the war at the Council were. They were all moving as fast as they could, trying to get everything needed for the ritual in order.My amber eyes drifted off to Leonardo who was with Vladimir's unconscious body not far from us. I sighed, bringing my gaze back to the binding around Sheila's neck. Zeriyah said it was to buy us enough time to get ready for the ritual and slow the dark magic from completely taking control of Sheila. We needed Sheila to be in control for this to work. My eyes rounded when I noticed that the silver binding around Sheila's neck had begun to melt. She was fucking cold, and yet the silver brace was melting."The silver is melting," I said quickly, and Lorenzo hastened to my side."Her ma
The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within Chapter 181
Killian's point of viewFrom the top mountains, we could already see the troop of warriors from Vladimir's army roar their way into North Central. I heaved a deep sigh, holding tightly onto my horse's reins, feeling my blood turn dreadfully cold. This was it. The time we battle for our lives, and either win against fate or lose.My deep, worried amber eyes lifted to the dark sky, and the giant full moon in it. Sheila has escaped, and right now, almost half of the Council's army were searching for her. They were all scared, believing the darkness had taken full control of the vessel.I sighed again, wishing that wasn't the case and I hoped Valerie and Lorenzo were having better luck than we were. Zeriyah had called for them urgently, requesting their presence immediately. It had something to do with Shota's magic. I wanted to be there as well, but Sheila was still missing, and we had to find her, hopefully before the war ended and the full moon turned red.I took in a long breath, gla
The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within Chapter 180
Sheila's point of viewI had no way of knowing exactly how many hours had gone by since my mother's spell room was located underground in the castle. But I knew with the long, torturous hours that had wandered by, it had to be dusk by now.I inhaled, resting against the wooden frame of the bed. Killian still hasn't returned, and I haven't seen Kaiser nor Valerie since I had woken up. The only people that had wandered around were Lorenzo and Zena when they came to fetch my blood, and I could feel Leonardo's presence behind those doors, but he couldn't muster the strength to face me again.I closed my eyes, and tears rolled out. They never stopped coming, even so now that I could feel the end was near. I had made a choice already, one Killian would never forgive me for, but I would never forgive myself, knowing I was the cause of so many deaths including my family. I had chosen to just let go. To stop fighting, to stop trying, and for once accept my fate.I burst out in tears; I couldn'
The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within Chapter 179
Sheila's point of viewI couldn't stop groaning in pain. This time, the pain came from everywhere, tearing me up inside. I groaned again, curling up against a warm softness. My head felt lightheaded, my eyelashes felt so heavy to pull open, my bones aching against their joints, and my energy completely drained.With so much effort, I pushed my eyes open, fluttering them consistently to keep my vision clear and steady for a second. The instant I got a clear view of the blank air, memories of my conversation with Amelie flooded my mind mercilessly, all at once, that caused my breathing to become rough and erratic and the tears from the deep sadness I felt drowned my blue ocean gaze and I couldn't stop it as I was reminded of my reality. I was the end for everyone and the war was in two days. I had to tell everyone.I tried to pull myself up but I couldn't, it was then I took notice of my surroundings. I was on a bed, but the last thing I remembered was leaving the Council, and then, the
The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within Chapter 178
Sheila's point of viewI screamed back to reality, jerking away from Amelie and her black crystal ball. My eyes were completely blurry with tears, and they never stopped rushing down.It couldn't be. I shook my head, as my teary gaze met with Amelie's dark hooded ones. She was staring at me with tears in her eyes as well."It can't be me. I would have known," I couldn't stop shaking my head, as more tears rushed down. I had wanted desperately to know exactly what was wrong with me. I had even considered this possibility, but now it was difficult to believe that I would be the end of every one. I killed poor Cora, and everyone was next.Amelie inhaled deeply, also in tears. She shook her head gently. "Everyone has a part to play," she muttered, slowly. "The end for everyone is coming with the war. In two days. You can destroy us all, and save us as well. Be prepared to make a choice, Sheila, and do what you must.""What choice, Amelie?" My broken voice sounded in a whisper."You will k
The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within Chapter 177
Sheila's point of view"Hello! My name is Sheila. Welcome to the Crescent North Pack," I said with a warm smile, holding out my hand to the new family that just arrived at the pack. "You must be exhausted, so I'll take you straight to your chambers, so you'll get settled in," They were part of the survivors from the West regions that were forced into hiding when Vladimir began to make attacks on the regions.These last few days, the pack had opened its territories to anyone needing refuge during the war. We had no idea how or when the war would be, but we were ready.I led them to one of the vacant quarters near the Packhouse. I showed them to their chambers and helped them settle in, before leaving.I kept catching Killian staring at me, now and then. He hasn't left the Pack today. He's been training with the warriors from our pack and the Grey Wolf pack, but I knew he was only keeping an eye on me and that was beyond frustrating.Even with the few tasks I had been using to try to ke
The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within Chapter 176
Killian's point of view"No, fucking no," I was completely still, unable to move, think, or breathe. "Sheila can't be the vessel," I muttered. Hearing the words leave my lips, I realized how badly I had hoped this wasn't the case. I had hoped this was just one of those silly thoughts.I watched as Lorenzo slowly fell on a chair; his hands clasped firmly against each other."How can you be so sure?" I moved closer to him."I did the spell over and over again. Sheila's blood has an anomaly, Killian. It's tainted with dark magic," Lorenzo spoke slowly and his every word was like a stab to my chest."No, Lorenzo. Sheila cannot be the vessel. She can't be. It's not possible, she's a fucking white wolf!" I leaned on the table for support, gazing deep into Lorenzo's eyes."I don't know how it happened, but that darkness has been in Sheila all this time, and it managed to stay hidden. Sheila has been the one preparing for the blood ritual."I groaned internally at the pain that tore through m
The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within Chapter 175
Sheila's point of viewI still haven't recovered from the shock from earlier when I was at the Council. The dagger had burned me. But why?Adie came up with the umpteenth reason why, but none of it made sense why the dagger burnt me. I plopped down on the bed in Killian's chamber. I had left the Council and came back home to prepare for the ritual tonight. Even though deep down, I knew that was just a lie, and I could tell Valerie suspected it. At that time, I just wanted to leave that place.My eyes shifted to the darkness already lurking outside the window. I should be on my way to the Council now, but all of a sudden, I didn't want to. I didn't understand my sudden fears these days, it was so unlike me, but I had to admit. I felt so frightened deep down, and I had no idea why. I just didn't want to go for the ritual all of a sudden.Maybe Killian was right. Maybe I needed some rest.I contemplated going to Lorenzo, but I knew the spell he was working on wouldn't be completed by now
