Killian's point of viewI watched Sheila as she slept peacefully. After a while, she stirred awake in my arms. Slowly, her blue eyes opened and fell into mine."Killian." Her weight shifted onto my chest, her gaze fixed on mine. She still sounded weak. I brushed her tender cheek, implanting a kiss on her cheek."Shh, don't say anything." I stroked her damp locks away from her face. "How do you feel?" I asked, tilting my head to her. Sheila's face turned red, and she buried her head in my chest."Tired and embarrassed." Her soft breath settled on my skin. "It's so embarrassing to know that the entire pack knew what just happened, you know, between us." She muttered slowly.I smiled, stifling a throaty chuckle at her words. Yeah, I guess everyone does. That, however, was the least of my worries. I was concerned more about my mate than anything else. I pulled her up a little, wrapping her naked body in my large arms."Do you feel any pain?" I asked her, and she shook her head.Even in th
Killian's point of viewI had left my office, already making my way to Sheila's chamber when I was mind-linked by Jax and Allen in a hurry. Their voices were in a frenzy. The only thing I registered was that Thea was in danger. Fuck. I couldn't think straight. I swerved from Sheila's chamber and moved hastily to Thea's chamber which was at another end of the castle.It was from a near distance away I could smell and see the smoke that escaped from the hallways. My heart jammed with an unfamiliar wave of fearful emotions as my legs hastened closer, Morgan and Mason were already there, trying to put the fire out. I rushed into her wide chamber, everything had almost been consumed by the fire, my heart rose in panic within my chest, as my eyes scanned around for Thea. I found her, she was lying motionlessly in the middle of the room. My legs hurried to her as the fire around was still blazing harder even with the warriors' attempt to put it off."Thea," I pulled her face into my palm, bu
Killian's point of viewI don't know why my heart was pounding so loud, there was something in her words that terrified me. But I listened quietly."I really do not know, Killian," She muttered, after a long silence. "I was fast asleep in my chamber when the smoke from the fire stirred me awake. By then the fire had spread around." She paused, tears were gliding down her cheek. I brushed it off, listening as she continued. "I reached for the door, but it was locked. Someone had locked me and wanted me to die in that fire."Thea burst out in tears. Her words confirmed my suspicion. But who could have tried to murder her, I was damned sure it wasn't anyone from the pack. But then again, there were still unsolved mysteries in the pack relating to Rowan and the witch that had murdered him. Could it possibly be the witch who tried to harm Thea? It could either be that witch or maybe, the Alpha of Thea's old pack had found her."Killian, I know someone doesn't want me to help you to break t
Killian's point of viewI didn't know when I fell asleep, but I knew this was a dream. It just had to be. Something was incredibly wrong, I was covered with blood. But it wasn't mine. Hell, I wasn't even bleeding, at least not physically. But my heart was in pain. I kept walking in the darkness as only the moon's rays followed my trail. Blood was everywhere, dead wolves and witches from my pack covering the earth along with some lifeless bodies that weren't from my pack. Some had the dragon mark of the Council army, while I recognized another mark on some of the dead bodies. It was the mark of the Dark Circle.I couldn't understand what was going on, why was the Dark Circle army in my pack, from the looks of it, it seemed a war broke out here. My heart hammered the more as I began searching through the bodies on the ground for someone in particular. Sheila. I released a breath when I couldn't find her among the scattered bodies on the ground. I left the pack house and began racing to
Thea's point of view"Thea, the only thing clear to me is that you feel insecure, and I can understand that because as soon as the curse is broken, I will personally escort you out of this pack. And you are upset about something, I am not sure what, and frankly, I don't care." The hussy muttered, forming a little smile that made the blood running in my veins burn with rage. "I am too busy for whatever this is, so do yourself a favor and get out, before I make you."She said calmly, crossing her fingers over each other. This little tramp had gotten quite brazen and that aggravated me the more. More than anything, I wanted to cross the table, and get my hands on her neck. It will give me great pleasure to squash it.No. I shook my head mentally. It will be much better to have her bloody heart jump from her chest into my hands, and then I will chop her body into tiny parts, and have them scattered within the castle for Killian to find them. The thrill alone flushed down my rage. But as s
Sheila's point of view I was done with the last paper on the table. I placed it gently on one side. I felt incredibly exhausted and hungry. My blue eyes went to the window, it was evening already. I was up from my chair and walking out of the door. I tried looking for Ria, Allen, Mason, or Jax as they were the only ranking warriors that remained in the pack, but I couldn't find them. So, I asked the first helper I found if Killian and the others had returned from the meeting at the council castle, but I was told they hadn't. Whatever reason the council had called for a meeting must have been serious, because they were taking longer than they usually do. And I was still worried about Killian. He was in a sad mood earlier today and that scared me. I had something to eat at the dining table, before making my way to my chamber to have some rest. After spending some minutes on my bed, strangely, I couldn't fall asleep. My mind kept on replaying the conversation I had with that psycho, T
Killian's point of viewI took an indrawn breath, pinching the skin of my forehead. The large Council court was quiet as everyone listened to Zeriyah. Many ranking leaders and members from each supernatural kind were present for today's meeting.I guess the abrupt invitation by the Council heads was surprising for everyone because they had requested the presence of all the supernatural kind that was a part of the Council.I sighed again in frustration, and maybe rage. This meeting has been going on for hours now, and now it's already twilight. I listened more to what Zeriyah was saying. It was pretty serious. But frankly, my mind wasn't here at all. I just wanted to be in my pack, and next to my mate, Sheila, and so did Ryker. The sickening feeling I woke up to this morning had grown increasingly within me. Ryker couldn't sit still, he kept on pacing restlessly at the back of my mind. I was also angst, there was something within me that had me terrified. I couldn't tell if it was my
Sheila's point of viewI was motionless. I couldn't move. I couldn't even mutter a word.It was as if time itself had paused, stopping every motion around me.My eyes didn't leave Ria's wolf that was being bitten by the enemy's pack wolf. It kept on attacking her, its claws piercing through her neck. Her blood rushed down, smearing the earth. It didn't stop till Ria's wolf stopped moving.I gasped weakly, I felt a heavy thud in my chest. My legs suddenly went weak, about collapsing against the bloody smeared earth. Still, I didn't pull my haze away from Ria's wolf form. She was…she was dead. Ria was dead.Suddenly, my surroundings began to come alive and the motion soon became normal. Loud growls filled the air, wolves fighting against each other. Even with a few witches' help, we were still surrounded. Breathless gasps of death invaded my ears as many eyes continued scanning around.I watched as my people were being killed. Even worse, slaughtered like animals. One after the other, t
