Killian's point of viewI groaned, stirring on the bed. My bright amber eyes pulled open, falling on the beautiful figure of my mate, curled up so perfectly in my arms. I sighed in contentment, resting my head next to hers. Last night was the best night of my life. I couldn't possibly begin to describe the ecstasy that drowned me while making love to my mate. It was the best feeling ever. She was the most beautiful woman ever.I leaned closer to her, placing a small kiss on her shoulder. Sheila shifted in her sleep, releasing a small moan. I grabbed the sheets, pulling them over her naked skin.My eyes went around the cottage; the sun had already set. I gathered my discarded clothes from last night on the floor. In haste, I wore them sharply."Ryker?" I called out to my wolf, fastening my leather boots.Ryker simply groaned, lazily. I chuckled deeply. He still hasn't recovered from the blissful pleasure of last night. Sheila took us to a world we never thought existed. My eyes glanced
Sheila's point of viewFinally, we made it back home, to our territory. I could feel the tension ease up around us as everyone sighed in relief.We approached the castle. Many of the pack members and warriors crowded around. Their eyes held relief to have everyone back safely.Kaleb, Jax, Nate, and some warriors rushed closer to us, embracing Killian.Ria rushed to me, embracing me while some warriors and members surrounded me. It really touched me to know they were worried about me. I noticed some of them were truly relieved to have me back, but they kept a safe distance from me, especially the males, probably because of Killian, who glued himself next to me.Suddenly, a high-pitched scream sounded from the castle doors, gaining everyone's attention."Killian!"I turned just in time to see Thea rush out staring at Killian as if she didn't believe he was right there before her eyes. I don't know why, but her expression seemed all fake, as though she had rehearsed it multiple times bef
Sheila's point of view"Run! Sweetheart, run! " A woman's voice rang loudly in my ears, capturing my attention from the fight that broke out around me. I was surrounded by warriors both in their human and wolf forms, as if they were protecting me, they fought against vicious wolves, having the stench of rogues.My eyes fell back on the woman, who was a distance away from me, fighting as well. Her electric blue eyes shifted to me as I remained motionless on the ground. She was beautiful, having curvy brown hair. Her blue eyes lingered on me for the briefest of seconds, her gaze holding fear."Mother!" My lips moved, terrifyingly, as my eyes took notice of the vicious wolves about to lunge at the woman. Her eyes followed my trail, and before the wolves could successfully aim for her, she sent her fingers in the air, whispering a few words. Immediately, I heard the snapping of necks, and the wolves dropped dead on the bloody earth."Run!" The woman's voice sounded again, panic now rising
Sheila's point of viewOh, my goddess!My eyes fell back on the mark on Valerie's wrist.Why did she have that?Why did the women in my dreams have that?"Sheila?" I felt warm, soothing hands on my shoulder. I glanced up to find Valerie next to me, her wide eyes on me now holding concern. "Are you alright?" She asked.I nodded, even though I was very much not alright. My heart was racing hard right now, and I couldn't slow it down. Valerie was standing right in front of me, but it was as if my surroundings had somehow changed and I was in the middle of fights and deaths from my dream. My breathing became too hard, and before I knew it, I was already choking on my breath.I could feel Valerie's panic right next to me. Her hand left my shoulder and found its way to my face. She held me tightly, making me stare into her deep purple eyes."Breathe, Sheila." Her words sounded normal, but I could feel the magic in them as I began to calm down; my breathing became normal, and my body's vibra
Sheila's point of view"Sheila?" Killian moved closer to me. I couldn't see his face, but his voice was less frightening than it was a second ago." "It's not safe here. What are you doing here?" He asked, looking behind me, realizing I was alone."I—" I began, but I was interrupted by the loud growl coming from the spy being tortured.Killian took a step closer to me until his massive frame blocked my view, then pressed his large thumb against my chin, drawing my gaze back to him."I don't want you to see this. Join the others at the bonfire. I will join you soon after I am done here." His voice kept getting softer as he urged me. "I promise."I sent one last stare behind him, nodding my head. "Alright. I will be waiting." I turned about to leave when another howl left the tortured prisoner's lips. It made me stop in my tracks, and I turned my gaze back to where Morgan and the warriors were torturing him. He was being dragged up from the ground. I furrowed my eyebrows in the darkness,
Sheila's point of viewMy father killed her.My father killed Calli.I felt pain stab my chest from the news and watching Devon in such a broken state."What happened?" I managed to ask again."She was chosen as one of the young girls to be sent to the Gray Wolves Pack." Devon blurted out between sobs.I placed a hand to my lips. The Gray Wolves Pack was a name that frightened the young female wolves in my father's pack. They had their own territory in the far east, but they were in some kind of agreement with my father. Since my father didn't belong to the Council or the Dark Circle, he needed the alliance of other packs for protection, so he had other ally packs outside of North Central that he was in alliance with. And the Gray Wolves Pack was one of them. They were cruel and ferocious.And every Fall, he usually sent a large number of young female wolves to the Gray Wolves Pack in the East. We never know what happened to them, because the female wolves were not allowed to leave th
Sheila's point of view"I vote against it," Killian said coldly. His words resounded in my ears. This can't be. I couldn't think clearly as my every thought fell on Devon. He just can't lose his life like this.I met Killian's cold stare. His dark amber eyes were pulled away from me and back to everyone else in the court."The prisoner has to die," Killian said again.I was frozen in my seat, rage seething through me. My furious gaze pierced at him, but Killian didn't even look my way.I don't know exactly what I was thinking about trusting him. What on earth was I expecting from a bloody bastard like him?Even though I didn't fully trust him to stand up for Devon, somewhere deep down a part of me hoped he would do it for me.But I was mistaken. This Alpha was still very much heartless."Everyone has voted. And as usual, the majority wins." Killian leaned on the round table. "Devon knows about the curse, making him a threat to us, and so he will be executed immediately." Killian sound
Sheila's point of viewI was completely speechless. My eyes went from Killian back to the figure standing in front of the cottage door."Devon?" I called in a whisper. This was impossible. He was supposed to be dead. The sentence had been handed down by Killian and the court.What the hell was this?My lips broke into a surprised smile. I couldn't hide the elation that was rooted in my gaze. I kicked my legs in motion, rushing to Devon. As soon as I was next to him, I sprawled my hands around him, embracing him.He groaned, placing a hand on his ribs. "Easy there. I am still healing." He muttered, jokingly."How? I thought you were... " I couldn't even bring myself to say the word. I actually didn't expect to see him again, well and alive."Dead?" Devon completed it when I struggled with the word.I nodded my head to him."Frankly, I thought I would be. Allen and two other warriors brought me here. They told me that I'd be safe here, and the Alpha ordered it." Devon said, his eyes mov
