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
Killian's point of viewI could feel my breathing getting harder with every passing second. Sheila's eyes turned darker, and her sweet arousal made me go hard. Her beautiful, brilliant blue eyes moved from my dark, lustful stare down to my rock-hard member.A naughty smile dominated her lips. "I will show you just how grateful I am, mate." She whispered so sensually that I could not stop the moan that left my lips.She grabbed my hardened member and began stroking it. I pulled my head back and moaned."Fuck. Sheila. That feels so good." I gripped the bed tightly. Then I felt her tongue licking around the tip of my member. All I could do was moan when she put me all in her mouth. She began bobbing her head up and down. I can feel the buildup in my lower abdomen. I know she knows it. Sheila bobbed her head faster, and faster and kept stroking my shaft at the same time.I felt delirious with all the pleasure she was giving me. I have never felt so alive before. Only she manages to get me
Killian's point of viewSheila and I returned back to the pack as early as the first light of dawn. I accompanied her to her chamber, feeling so unwilling to leave her. But I had to. I had a council meeting today, and also, Morgan and I had a meeting with a neighboring pack to settle some pending matters.My hands danced on her waist, pulling her in for a kiss. "Go on, Killian. I have to shower." Sheila said, pulling away from me."That doesn't sound like a bad idea. I could help you shower." I said, sauntering to where she was standing at the door. But she stopped me, chuckling lightly.Oh, Goddess. Even the sound of her laughter was beautiful. "No, Killian. Go now. I really mean it." She said trying to keep a serious tone, but was failing from the sparkle in her eyes."Fine. I am going, alright." I said, pecking her lips once more. I went straight to my chamber and stripped off my clothes. Immediately, I showered and got dressed in fresh clean clothes. I was fastening my boots when
Sheila's point of view Leonardo Black, as in, brother to Kaiser Black. I remained rooted behind Killian, but my eyes didn't leave the man. Frankly, he wasn't anything like his brother, Kaiser. There were more differences between them in appearance than similarities. He had dark brown hair and piercing blue eyes, while Kaiser had black hair and deep hazel eyes. He also had a calm, yet intimidating aura that radiated power. Gwen joined us, as she stood beside me. Her eyes scanned from Killian to Morgan and finally fell on Leonardo. She tilted her head at him a little. The man, Leonardo Black, stood firmly on his leather boots. His eyes moved from Killian to Morgan and then fell on me, standing behind Killian. "If you value your life as much as I do, Leonardo, you will stay away from her," Killian uttered, counting his words, but one could easily note the rage seething through his throat. The man's gaze lingered intensely on me. There weren't any single emotions embedded in them, as
Sheila's point of view I narrowed my eyes as I watched the unfamiliar face step forward. He was wearing a black cloak over his clothes, his hair was as dark as the night, as it gleamed under the fading sun, and his eyes were a capturing pair of deep magenta. "I sincerely apologize if I frightened you. It wasn't my intention." He released a small smile, grabbing the dagger floating in the air. "I wasn't frightened. Just alarmed." I said as he stalked closer to me. "Here." He held my dagger for me. I collected it. My eyes scanned him thoroughly. From the little trick he pulled earlier with the dagger, it was obvious he was a witch. But completely unfamiliar. I have never seen him in the witches' quarters. Was he not from around here? 'Ask him?' Adie's voice echoed as if her presence was in front of my mind. "I haven't seen you around here before. Who are you?" I asked, placing my dagger in my boots. "You are right. I am not from around here; I just came to visit. But I might stick
Killian's point of viewI was on the bed, and Thea stood completely naked before me. If this had happened months ago, I swear I would have pulled her down on the bed and banged her nonstop. She was beautiful, no doubt. But something in me was different. She just wasn't appealing anymore to me. Everything's changed now that I have Sheila. And I don't want to hurt her. I never want to hurt my mate.I looked away, feeling somewhat disgusted. But I tried not to let it show. I also didn't want my rejection to hurt her."Cover yourself, Thea, and please leave." I told her.I was surprised when her naked body jumped on me, and then I felt her bare hand on my crotch, squeezing it. I pushed her away, but she only firmed on top of me as her naked ass began to grind on top of me. She moaned in pleasure."Get her off us!" Ryker growled, and I grabbed her waist, lifting her off of me. I jolted up from the bed. I backed away, picking up my towel and tying it around my waist."What the hell, Thea? I
Sheila's point of view"I didn't even touch her. I swear on my life. I really didn't want to hurt you and I never want to. I love you, Sheila. I fucking love you." he said hurriedly, and I stopped wriggling. His last words echoed in the walls of my mind.My dark blue eyes were studying him."He isn't lying," Adie voiced in my mind, leaning closely."And you know how?" I shot back at her."I can feel it," she whispered in my head."Well, I doubt that. He's a liar and a cheat," I said."But he's being honest now," Adie muttered, slowly exhausted.I was about to contradict her, but she shushed me up immediately. "Just shut up and kiss him."My hands sneaked around his neck, and immediately, I brought my lips to his. Killian wrapped his hands around me, firmly kissing me back.After a while, we pulled away, panting heavily."I swear nothing happened between Thea and I. And nothing ever will." he whispered, kissing me again.I pecked his lips, my finger brushing off the small trail of bloo
Sheila's point of view"I am in dire need of some help, Lorenzo," I said, rushing to where he was. He led me to the large table in the middle of the room, helping me to sit."You don't look well." He noted, staring intently at me. I didn't feel so good. Aside from the banging ache in my head, I felt a growing heat in my stomach."I just have a hammering ache. But that's not why I am here. " I said. Enzo pulled his hand back to cup my face, and slowly it moved to my temple. My eyes pierced into his magenta eyes, and slowly the ache in my head began to vanish. He removed his hand when he was done."Thank you.""So, what is the other reason you are here?" He asked.I rubbed my palms against each other. I wasn't sure where to begin, that wouldn't make me sound insane. So, I decided to start with the dreams I have been having, and then I told him about my childhood, which I can't seem to remember.He kept his gaze fixed on me until I was done."If these dreams are somehow memories I have f
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
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
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
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'
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
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
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
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
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
