I know you hate Killian.
My hands were in hard grips, my fingernails cutting little marks on the inside of my palm. It was everything I could do to hold it together and not make an attempt to bash Rijel's face. He reached out and placed a hand on Killian's shoulder. "Come on. Let's give them some time alone. I'm sure they have much to say to each other, and Adam is waiting for us. We have a lot to arrange before tomorrow.""Of course," Killian replied, eyeing me. "I'll expect you to behave, Love. I love you. I'll be back," he added, giving me a quick kiss on the lips, and then he was gone. Even though I hated it, my body liked what Killian did, even my wolf. She wasn't as happy as when it was Erix kissing us. Killian has developed a favorite hobby after we transfer to his own house. He would go rough on me, torturing me with his silver knife collection, and sometimes he would chain me up. He won't touch me only when I'm with baby Clay. Even if Clay is Erix's child, he never lands his hands on him. He only
Believe in him. Wyatt, you're wrong. Erix won't be the same again if he knew Killian overwrote his mark and bond from me. "Love, I'm going out tonight with Rijel," Killian said while fixing his tie. "Topaz will be expecting you with the baby after we leave. Once I'm home, I'll fetch you up," he added. "Okay," I replied, smiling at him. "What time are you going home?" I asked him before trying to make his suit straight. "As soon as the business is over. So don't do anything I don't like, Rain. I have eyes all over." One of his trusted guards took me to Topaz's house. Thankfully, the time worked on my part. "Wyatt is waiting for you. Let's go. I'll lead you to where he was and I'll look for you son while you two talk," she said, smiling at me. She then led me to the back part of her house and into a clearing behind the trees next to the pool for her kids. A beautiful garden met me. It was overgrown with wildflowers, honey-suckled, and wild roses of all kinds and colors. I
I gasped and clutched the letter to my chest. It had been so long since I heard Erix's voice in my head and it shattered me. My legs felt like jelly and my chest was being crushed. I missed him terribly. I hadn't allowed myself to think about Erix everyday because I'm afraid when I let my thoughts linger in him,I'll break and fall apartI'm not his anymore. Our bond has been corrupted. I don't have the right to claim him anymore. But now, I couldn't help it. I had to think of him, his letters, his words, his hands that touched the very same letter as I did. She tried to catch the scent of Erix on the letter as hard as I could. My wolf and I needed it even though I knew I knew my body would hate it. Both of us need the scent to make our love for him remain in our hearts. My wolf and I cling to a thin thread of hope of love we had for Erix even though it wont it would last. "Rain," Wyatt said softly. Wyatt brought me out of my stupor. I looked at him with a painful smile. I hadn't re
Come home. I already told Elvin to take you home. I'll be there in a minute.It was a mind-link massage from Killian after Topaz let me use her shower. I know he would be furious if he smelt Wyatt on me. "Killian's calling," I told her. "Will you be alright? He's not mad, is he not?" she asked me. I smiled at her. "He will be if he smells Wyatt's scent on me," I replied before taking Clay out of the crib. Topaz smiled at me. "Be careful, Rain."As soon as the guard left, I started to walk toward Clay's room. Killian doesn't want my son to be with me in our room. He told me that having a son with another alpha already hurt his pride. I didn't argue anymore, so I followed him. "Rain!" I heard a shout from the first floor of the house. When I ensured that Clay was sleeping, I went down hurriedly. I saw Killian, wearing only a short while, his torso, and mouth dripped with blood. I could smell that the blood wasn't his. "Good evening, Love," he said, smirking. His eyes became th
Rain, Erix, and all our allied pack will await us across the forest. We will leave tonight, and I want you to be prepared by then. Meet me at the edge of the training area. I know you know the place. Be ready, and we will lead them to a trap. -Wyatt.Because there was no chance for Wyatt and me to meet, he sent Topaz to my house to deliver the message. Killian didn't see her as a threat, so he let her in. She pretended to deliver me a cake she had baked and slipped the paper into my hands. Topaz's gaze gave me a good luck message as she smiled at me before leaving. This is it. My escape will finally be happening. From a distance, I could hear the start of the ceremony. I've packed enough needs in my baby bag, securing Clay's clothes. If we escape now, I need to prepare for his needs first. Killian told me to come when I felt like I wanted to since he believed I still hated Wyatt. The house has a good amount of distance, and I would have enough time to escape. The music played soft
I'm not particularly like small and narrow spaces. And this one in front of barely fits one person. After Wyatt closed the rock and we were both inside, I felt suffocating. "Rain, let's go. We need to go. Rijel will notice my absence, and it will alert everyone. Come on,"I took a deep breath and shook away my fear of small spaces. I understood Wyatt's sense of urgency and had to push aside all that. My son depended on me, and he was my priority. As we started to walk, the space started to get narrower. There were sharp edges of the spaces that sometimes cut through my skin. It didn't bother me. What bothered me was the fact that I started to breathe heavily. My instinct started to think about Killian, but I ignored it. "Are you okay, Rain? We are getting closer to the exit," Wyatt asked me. "Do you want me to carry Clay instead?" "Y-yes p-please," I replied. "The pull started to take a toll on me," I added before giving him my sleeping son. It was dark inside, but I could see Wy
According to Wyatt, the secret passage we walked in was the back part of the pack. He planned it since it would throw Rijel's pack away from us and give us enough time to provide them with a good amount of distance. If I was right, we only had about four or five more days until we found the base camp of the Erix's allied wolves. Hopefully, Erix would be there waiting on me and risking his life for me and our pup. The pain became unbearable, but I tried to shake it off. What if Erix won't take me again? What if he only wanted our son? What if he'll throw me away? I must have looked concerned because Wyatt reached over and grabbed my hand to reassure me. "Erix is not that kind of an Alpha, Rain. He knows what you have been through. Don't worry, and he'll kill Killian and claim you again," he said, smiling at me. I gave him an exhausted smile. "Don't worry, Rain; I'm sorry I'll try my best to go to our mate. Hold on a bit, and when our dearest frees us, we will be free from this pai
In my wolf form, I scanned a perimeter of about half a mile in each direction surrounding us. There was no sign of Killian or Rijel, but I couldn't shake off the feeling of being followed. I could have smelled them if we were followed. I tried to sniff the air but nothing. I couldn't pick any scent, excluding the scent of the forest. I wasn't sure if that was a good thing. I expected Killian to come after me since he would suffer the effect of pull, but to no avail; he didn't show up. A thought passed through my mind almost as quickly as it had appeared; it was gone. If Killian hasn't found us yet, that could only mean one thing. He's planning something big. Or maybe he knew about our escape plan? Topaz wouldn't sell us out, right? No. That's impossible. Killian doesn't want me gone by his side. But still, what if he knew about Wyatt and I's plan? What if he already knew about it? He wouldn't remain silent otherwise. Killian is a whole new level of a smart wolf. I knew because his
