Third-person point of viewKillian rushed out of her chamber, panting hard. His breathing was deep and rigorous.Fuck! he still could not believe what had just transpired between him and Sheila. It shouldn't have happened. It was a costly mistake he had committed. Kissing Sheila was the last thing on his mind, but then, he did it. He had completely lost it seeing her in the arms of another man, even worse, it happened to be one of his enemies, Kaiser Black. It made him lose his control, it made him act so stupidly.Killian cursed at himself for losing control like that and making such a mistake. He couldn't blame Ryker; he knew he was as guilty as his wolf was. They allowed rage and jealousy to cloud their senses.With a few hasty steps, Killian rushed into his chamber, taking off his silken shirt. He felt hot, battling with emotions he had struggled to keep buried. Emotions he never thought he'd feel. He could still feel the sweet, lingering effect of his mate's body on his. He could
Killian's point of view I woke up earlier today. I left Thea asleep in her bed, naked. I didn't want to wake her up. For the past few days, I've been spending my nights in her chamber. This is an attempt to get Sheila out of my mind. Frankly, it hasn't been much of a success. I'm trying my best, and so is Ryker, but I just can't seem to forget the insane moment that I felt Sheila's lips on mine. Her soft and warm body folded against mine. It's driving me crazy. She's all I think of these days, even when I'm with Thea. At this rate, I might lose the sanity I'm fighting to keep. I just finished my morning training with the pack's army and showered in my chamber. I left my chamber and headed down to my office. There were some pending matters relating to the pack that I needed to attend to. My wolf, Ryker, paced at the back of my head. He's been doing that for the last couple of days. He's been strangely restless and on alert, as if expecting something bad to happen. Well, I simply thin
Sheila's point of view "May I help you?" came his deep, throaty voice. I swear I would have been turned on if it wasn't for the anger brewing in me. "As a matter of fact, you may," I bit out angrily, squaring my shoulders while folding my hands against my chest. My eyes held his stare. Killian pulled away from his table, he carelessly tossed the quill pen in his hand on the table, his eyes coldly sizing me up. "First and foremost, you are to knock and wait for my response before abruptly barging into my office," he warned, glaring coldly at me. "And secondly," he placed his hand under his chin. "When addressing me, you lose that damn tone." His voice was brutally cold, which only seemed to aggravate me further. "What do you want?" I held my stance, still locking eyes with him. "I'd like to think I'm not a prisoner in my own pack. I've been here for days now, and I haven't stepped out of my chamber, not once, let alone left the castle walls. You know, I am not a dog that you can k
Killian's point of viewI couldn't understand why I felt uneasy, my mind constantly going back to Sheila.Ryker's restlessness kept intensifying, and it was driving me insane. I couldn't focus on my work properly, and I kept experiencing pain from the dark hole in my chest. It was unbearable.I left my office and headed to Thea's chamber, where I've been for several hours now. Being near her was usually like medicine to my soul. Somehow, her presence always seemed to make the pain from the cursed hole in my soul bearable.But these days, it was almost as if the dark hole had come alive, and nothing was working, not even Thea's presence. Not even the healer's potions. Nothing.I was on the bed with Thea beside me when I was mind linked by Mason. His voice echoed within the walls of my mind in a frenzy."Alpha, the pack is under attack." He rushed in a sentence. I jolted from the bed immediately. Thea was up beside me."What?" I snatched my clothes from the floor, wearing them in a hurr
Sheila's point of viewIt was already dawn. I woke up earlier than usual. I just couldn't get some sleep. My chest kept aching, and for some reason, I've been experiencing some headaches, which always lasted for a few hours.I was walking down the long hallway of the castle alone, wearing a long blue velvet dress. Ria had some patrolling to do for the day, and so did Brielle. As for Killian, I was told that there was an important council meeting, so he left the castle at the first light of dawn, together with Mason, Allen, and Valerie.I have gotten much more used to my environment and life in the castle. I can't say it's comfortable, but it's bearable enough when I don't see Killian together with his lover. I've also made some friends in the pack.Right now, I'm supposed to be on my way to the dining hall to have my breakfast, but something caught my attention in the hallway on the other floor of the castle that I haven't been to yet. My curiosity got the better part of me, so I deci
Third-person’s viewKillian sauntered towards Sheila, boring an angry glare at her. It made her freeze on the spot.Without warning, the back of his hand came into harsh impact with her cheek, and Sheila landed on the floor.Did he...? Did her own mate just strike her?"Get the fuck up, Sheila!" he yelled, his tone angry and his gaze fixed on her.Sheila was shaking, tears pouring from her eyes. Even though she didn't respond, he fisted her hair and pulled her up. A cry of pain escaped her lips.Killian looked her in the eyes as he seemed ready to strike her again, but something flashed in his eyes. He couldn't decipher what it was.She just couldn't believe her own mate could strike her, and that too in the presence of the other woman, his lover. Deep waters gathered in Sheila's eyes, her gaze connecting with Killian's. She could see nothing in those amber crystals of his.Thea was quickly by his side. "Killian, did you see, she slapped me?" she said, crying, holding a hand to her ch
Sheila's point of viewThe sounds of owls hooting and insects chirping were all around me in the gentle night air, and the moon shone in its full glory, illuminating every path and step I took. After much time, I realized that I had been lost, walking round and around in circles."Where the hell am I now?" I thought to myself, confused. Now I was running up north in hopes of finding some trail leading out of this damn forsaken forest.Quickly, I stopped in my tracks. Although I hadn't yet discovered my wolf, I had a better-than-average sense of hearing. I wasn't alone now. Someone was indeed in this forest with me.I tense up, grabbing the small dagger I held for protection, gripping on tightly to it like it was my only form of life line. I wandered into the forest all alone at night. Somehow, I had a feeling that whatever and whoever was in this forest with me wasn't coming in peace."Hello, is there anyone out there? " I inquired, spinning my head around in search of whatever was pr
Sheila's Point Of ViewI was standing at the edge of a cliff, staring at the beautiful work of nature. It was the first light of dawn, and the sun was barely rising. Birds were flying high, chirping a beautiful morning melody. The sight was simply exquisite. And he was there, beside me.I could feel his strong minty breath brushing against my neck with his strong arms wrapped around me, imprisoning me in his arms. I felt Killian's rugged hands on my soft and milky skin as I squirmed under his touch.The sensation of sparks coursing through every bone in my body, and my moans and gasps escaped my lungs, filling the air. I heard Killian's lustful growls, as he traced his hands over my full breasts and circled my pink nipples.I released another moan, feeling my need for him grow stronger. My hands were digging deeper into the back of his large body, beads of sweat on my skin.Killian's sweet lips trailed kisses down my slender stomach, journeying down to my pubic bone. His dark, lustful
