Time passed by, whether I was living my life or not. There was a whole world outside these cells, and I wasn't sure I would ever see or be a part of it again. Killian hadn't spoken to me since the day he told me everything, and that was three days ago. I figured he was giving me time to think about my options. But he clearly told me that I'd be the one who would want to be with him, and I didn't want it to happen. I'll die first. Mate or die it's basically what he told me. But the way I see it, it's either kill or be killed.I would never willingly mate him, so the only other option for him is to kill me. Unless I can somehow manage to kill him first, I doubt I can do it. It had been a total of four days since I had last seen Erix. I was slowly dying inside without him. Although I couldn't use our mating link to connect with him and I couldn't use my wolf, I could still feel him, but that would fade away soon as well. I wish I knew what he was feeling, what he was thinking, or if h
Tch. I heard Killian clicking his tongue. He doesn't want the woman in front of him. "Oh, why are you looking like that, Killian? I bought you your order. I came here to deliver this," she said before pushing the man before Killian. A man. A human man, to be precise. "You could have let one of your men deliver it to me," Killian replied. "Heh," she said, smirking. "I bought a valuable purchased item for Rijel too. I need to deliver it to him fresh, clean, and unscratched," she added. "Put him in the same place; you know what to do," Killian replied. "Of course," the woman said, eyeing me mockingly. This woman has a different aura compared to any female here. She has this alpha-like aura, almost the same as Rijel. I know some female alpha exist but are rare. This was the first time I met someone like her. She combines lethality and beauty, something you can't mess with. But why was she here? Was she a rogue or something? "Stop staring at my Mate, woman," Killian warned. The
"What about her? Why isn't she fighting?" I asked Killian, motioning my eyes to the little girl. He followed my gaze to her, disappointment crossing his features. "Some children adapt sooner than others. Sometimes we get the children too late; they can't be saved from their ways and rebel. If they are not with us, they're against us.""What happens to them?" My subconscious warned me not to ask, but I had to know the answer, however frightening it may be. Is it really better to be oblivious in these situations and never know the horrible truths?"They're put down," Killian answered immediately. "There is no other option. If they can't be tamed, we no longer have a use for them."Oh, Goddess. Nausea and dizziness hit me like a tidal wave, and I thought I might throw up. Unable to accept this part of reality, I put my hand in front of me and stepped back. "You can't be serious. You are killing innocent children. How monstrous you become, Killian. What happened to you? Why are you doi
Killian lifted his brow to me when I didn't make any movement to eat. I don't like the food. I'm hungry for something else aside from wanting information from him. "Is the food not to your liking? Should I give you some ice chips instead?" he asked me with a smile. "Oh that," I replied, feeling my mouth water from the mere words he said. Now that everything is calm between Killian and I, I felt the need to eat Ice chips. "Alright, I ask someone to bring you ice chips," he said before standing up and walking to the door talking to the guard. He went back to his seat and continued eating. "Does Erix know I'm here? Has anyone from The Blood pack talked to him?" I couldn't keep the words flowing out of my mouth. It had been days since I'd last seen or heard from him or any of my pack. I was growing anxious. By the looks on his face, I could see he wasn't pleased by my question. I didn't care. He didn't limit what I could ask and Erix was more pressing on my mind than anything els
Anger at the unknown person coursed through me. "Who?" I demanded slamming my fist on the table. "Who is the betrayer?" Killian didn't bat an eye and only shook his head at me. "Are you sure you really want to know? What's learned can never be undone." "I don't care. Tell me who?" Whoever they are, deserves to be brought to justice. And if it's the last thing I do, I'll see to it that happens. "See for yourself. They'll be here next week with Tobias and then you'll know." He reached out his hand, tucked a loose strand of blonde hair behind my ear and offered his best pity smile. "You should be careful who you trust." "I could say the same to you," I sneered. I didn't have to explain who I meant. He knew. And it was exactly instilling Killian's faith in me by saying the thing I had been, but the newest had taken more than off guard. Erix wasn't the only one being thrown off his game. So was I. Killian dropped his hand and stood up from his chair as the guard delivered me t
"I have all the power to kill that child inside of you if I wanted to, Rain," Killian said, smirking. "I can't believe you actually fell for my plan, my dear, Rain," he added before holding my hand. "I- I don't understand what you are saying, Killian. Please don't do this. If I am pregnant with Erix's child, please set me free. Take me back to him," I told him. "And what would I do that? You are mine, Rain. And that bastard Erix took you away from me," Killian said. "I have the right to take back what was originally mine.""You took his mate first!" I shouted at him "It's necessary. I took Erix's mate, and he took you. You killed Isabelle by mating with him, blah blah blah, all worked according to my plan," he replied like he was a lunatic."You're insane!" I screamed, not minding the dull pain in my lower abdomen. "All of you made me like this, Rain. Do you want to hear a story of me and Rijel's origin? Hmm?" "I don't care about your story! Send me back to Erix!" Killian sudden
Killian helped me to bed and sat me on end. I propped myself up on my knees. My hands clutched them firmly. I don't want to be on Killian's bad side. Ever since he threatened me and I heard his story, Killian has become a lunatic in my eyes. He and Rijel were brothers. Their parents were separated, but both boys went to their rogue mother. The next story he told me, they both went through hardship at the hands of alphas after their mother's death. Soon, the boys were both adopted by two alphas who pitied them. To make the story short, Axian, who knew his alpha, killed his mate, Killian, and Rijel's mother took revenge.Killian wasn't Renato's real son. That explained everything. Killian probably developed bipolarity and a sadistic personality since childhood, and he hid it well until now. "You probably want to change clothes, too," Killian added. He walked to the closet and pulled out a pair of white maternity pajamas. I referred to them as my asylum wear. Everything I owned was wh
I gathered my clothes off the floor and entered the room, where I found a tray of medicine, food, and water waiting for me on the small, square table pushed up against the wall by the door. Killian eyed me as soon as I entered the room. "You can put those there," he said, referring to my clothes. I followed his pointed finger to the hamper by the closet. I placed them inside and made my way over to the table that held my remedy. Topaz had set the things with great care in the space of the tray. It contained many things to get me through the night. She'd thought of everything. Even a little note was stuck to the glass, handwritten by her. Thankfully, someone knew how to help me in my condition in this pack besides the doctor. After taking the nausea cure, I started to eat. I was still waiting for Topaz's help. My priority was not myself now but my soon-to-be baby. I'll save my baby from Killian before he claims my child as his. I vaguely glanced at the book in Killian's hands as
