Sheila's point of viewDarkness covered us and the violent wind that had taken over the room grew more deadly and violent.I was causing all of this but I couldn't stop it.Valerie was by my side. "Sheila, you have to calm down, your unsteady emotions have control of you.”I am trying, but I can't, Valerie!" I yelled to her in the chaos. She gripped my hand and began chanting, but nothing seemed to be evading the darkness or putting an end to the chaos.I could feel the tumult within me, and I knew just then that everything was about to get much worse. I held onto Valerie tightly, and just then, I felt something firm around my wrist. Suddenly, the whole chaos stopped. The darkness vanished and the air became calm once more.My eyes fell on my wrist, and there was a black bead around my wrist. My gaze traveled from my wrist to the door where a figure stood.I breathed in relief. "Lorenzo.""Thank the heavens, you came at the right time, Lorenzo," Valerie muttered as she used her magic
Killian's point of viewI mind-linked Riannon and she informed me Sheila had just returned to her chamber. I tossed aside the papers in my hands on the wooden table and pulled up from my chair. I gaited to the door and headed straight for Sheila's chamber which was at the right wing of the castle.I was there in no time, I placed my hand on the doorknob, pulling it open. Immediately, Sheila's sweet scent invaded my nostrils and my deep amber crystals fell on her. I could hear Ryker stir in excitement at the back of my head. She was standing in front of the mirror, next to her dressing table. Her beautiful pristine body was covered with a white silken robe, and her hair was damp, sticking to her face as lines of water rushed down her body.I inhaled deeply as Sheila's blue eyes met mine from the mirror. She paused briefly, her gaze holding mine as I strode over to where she was. I snaked my hands around her waist, resting my head on her soft shoulder. My hands tightened more around her
Killian's point of viewI pushed the door to Thea's chamber open. My eyes scanned around the room, dwelling on the figure that was positioned on the bed. It was Thea. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, she didn't even look my way. It was as though she was lost in her thoughts. Suddenly, she shook gently, her eyes pulled down to the sharp dagger in her hands, and she focused on it briefly, thinking deeply. My eyes widened in horror as Thea drew the dagger to the skin of her neck. My blood instantly turned cold."Thea!" I yelled, Immediately, my legs moved with speed and I crossed the room, gaiting to the bed where Thea was sitting, holding a dagger to her neck, before she could slit her throat, I gripped her wrist tightly. "Thea, stop!" My hold was firm, and my amber eyes glowered down at her."No, Killian, please, let me do this," she yelled in tears, and with my nonhuman strength, I yanked the dagger away from her grip, but unfortunately, its sharp blade slit my wrist, before la
Killian's point of view By the time I returned to the grand hall, the place was already basking with so many people from the Pack, all dressed beautifully. Everyone was having fun. But I wasn't. At least not yet. I glanced around for my mate, but I couldn't find her. Ria and Brielle were already in the grand hall, but she was not with them. It was even odder she wasn't with Morgan as I could see him from afar chatting in the midst of some warriors and pack members. Immediately, I mind-linked Ria, asking her about Sheila, and she told me they had come to the hall together, and she didn't know where she was. I sighed, disconnecting. I sniffed in the air and began to trail her scent. It led me outside into the darkness and the silver rays of the towering moon in the sky. From afar, my eyes caught in the beautiful figure of my mate, and a smile roved on my lips. And I took a step forward, instantly stopping in my tracks when my nose caught the scent of another with my mate. I recogniz
Sheila's point of viewI halted right in front of Thea's chamber. I pulled my hands up in the air, instead of knocking. I grabbed the door handle but it was locked.I sighed impatiently, removing the black bracelet that was on my wrist. And with only a whisper, I heard the clicking of the door. I returned the bracelet to my wrist, and slowly, I stepped into Thea's chamber.My eyes scanned around the chamber but there was no sight of Thea, nor the splatter of Killian's blood on the floor. But from a far end, my eyes took in a small dagger that was on a table in a corner of the room. My brows furrowed as I stalked closer to the table, I was about to touch the dagger when Thea's voice sounded behind me."And look who we have here," her voice was so clear and her words so sharp, holding so much rage and irritation. I turned around and my blue eyes fell on hers, a small smile found my lips as I regarded her from her head to her toes.I was right. This bitch was only putting up an act in fr
Sheila's point of view"Killian!" I yelled, watching in shock as Killian crashed against the cold, humid floor. At his fall, the hall broke into chaos.Immediately, everyone rushed to him, I reached for Killian, my hands fell on him and his body was cold.Mason, Allen, Lorenzo, and Morgan were by his side instantly, they hauled him up in their arms and rushed him out of the hall. I followed suit behind them and hastened straight to Killian's chamber.The guys placed him carefully on the bed, and I turned to Allen, requesting the presence of the Pack's healer. He told me he had mind-linked her already. My eyes shifted to Lorenzo, and before I could say something, he added quickly.'"Valerie is on the way as well,"The door pushed open and Dr. Maggie and a few of her assistants hurried through the door."What happened to him?" She queried, examining Killian's seemingly lifeless body."Absolutely nothing. He was fine a second ago, then suddenly, he collapsed on the floor," Morgan explain
Sheila's point of view"Kill her!" The woman's voice sounded, as Killian's large body turned to me. My eyes pulled from the witch to Killian who was now a few feet away from me. His entire body was smeared with blood."Killian," I muttered slowly as Killian neared me and his nails extended into claws. "Don't," I whispered when he was only a breath away from me. My eyes connected to Killian's but there was absolutely nothing there. It was completely dark there.Fuck. There was no talking to him. Neither his wolf nor Killian's soul was conscious. His body had been taken over by his demon. My eyes moved past him to the witch behind me who didn't have her face to me. I couldn't see her face, but I could feel the sneer leaving her lips. Then she turned around, moving away, and I couldn't let that happen. This was the first time we'd ever come so close to the witch, I couldn't let her get away.I had to find out exactly who she was. Just then, Killian's claws rose up in the air to attack m
Killian's point of view"No matter how much I tried, I simply just can't believe Alpha Leonardo has no idea where she is," Felix, one of the most annoying members of the Council, huffed angrily, almost banging his fist on the round mound in the Council's court."Enough, Felix, repeating that over and over again won't change anything," Alpha Philip sauntered to his seat. "It's been four weeks now since the blood moon appeared abruptly in the night sky, and still, we haven't been able to find her," his voice was utterly dry and he could barely keep his frustration from his eyes.Everyone in the Council was equally frustrated, including me, but it was for different reasons. This was the fourth meeting summoned by the Council within a bloody week, and the only matter that everyone seemed to be discussing was the white wolf, and each time we seemed to be making no progress at all.It's been four weeks since the blood moon appeared in the sky and the news about the white wolf being alive fl
