The days passed peacefully, and Brynn grew more in tune and comfortable. There were times that she had dreams of Damon and the pack, but she pushed the thought out of her mind.This place was peaceful, and Kieran loved it. He loved going to the garden with Alyssa, which had become a perfect grind as the weeks progressed.And better was that Kieran was either always with Alyssa or Killian; today he told Killian that he wanted to try painting.It was almost ironic that the person who was after Brynn's presence these days was Killina. She couldn't tell if he was avoiding her; he just wanted to spend a lot of time with his son.It’s been hours since she’s seen any of them, and worse, since she talked to Killian, they’ve only said a few words to each other that night.And not the dark feeling of insecurities made her feel skeptical; maybe he saw how broken she was and decided to distance himself; that could only be the possible reason that he avoided conversation and any time they were lef
It was like torture for Killian.The moment he had left Brynn in that painting room, he wanted nothing but to go back, grab her into a hard kiss, and ferry that whole painting room with her.He had only imagined pushing all the canvases from the table and laying her on top of the table. He walked into his room at a fast pace.He had the He reached for the door to his room, opening it up as he walked into the room. He threw his wet and drenched shirt to the floor as he paced around.He could still smell her vent around him, and this warm touch, like a feathered ghost touch of where her hands were on his chest, still tricked his skin. And Killian knew he was on the edge of insanity.He wanted to kiss Brynn so badly that it hurt, and now he felt an ache in his head. He wondered if it was the heat of his wolf who rang because it felt like torture for a Lycan to be that far from his mate."Fuck, I need a bath,” he mutters as he peeled his clothes and walked into the shower, turning in the
Killian was ready for it all—to drive Damon insane and break him till he had nothing to hide.He had more meetings with Deon and other members of his board in place about their plan and action, and the plan had begun as they spoke.As his spies filed out of the meeting and Killian was ready to call it a day, he knew his mind was still filled with one certain goldcrest omega that made him feel like he was on the edge of insanity.Maybe Deon was right about his rut, but hell, he couldn’t keep away from her even if he tried."Hey Killian, I wanted to talk to you about the company; something important I just noted after our talk,” Deon says to Killian, who stands in his tracks.His right brow was raised in question as he leaned on the door and gilded his arms with his legs crossed. He felt impatient, and something was brimming in his bones like he needed to get home to his family; he wanted to. "What is it?"He asked Deon, who faced him, “The 10th anniversary of Grey Consolidated is comin
That night was the beginning of everything.If Killian was being honest, he thought Brynn would try to act like that night didn’t happen. But he wasn’t going to trash her for that.He knew to be patient and not wait for her until she was ready.But it became the opposite as she surprised him; there were days filled with subtle touches and eye contact that lasted an eternity and made them feel like they were the only people in the world.There were days that he'd take her behind the garden shed and kiss her as his life depended on it, and he didn’t look back.But he loved this day when she took the initiative and took the lead. Especially the first time she had leaned over and pecked his cheeks.He could remember the days when Kieran had come to show him his drawing of an airplane, and Brynn looked proud to watch them. When Kieran had run back to his drawing board, Killian Byrnn had leaned over and kissed Killian on the lips, and he had then dragged her into his study to continue what
Damon felt like he was going crazy.Hess had already been pushed to the brink of insanity by Killian, and with the fear of the unknown, he had expected Killian to attack since the first day he found out.But it became more daunting because Killian hadn’t done anything yet; it kept him awake for days on end.And when he had the time to sleep, he needed to wake up to nightmares of Killian in full wolf and his blood in Killian's teeth. It was a terror for him these past few weeks.It was torture not being able to get to Brynn; he wondered how much Killian told her and what moments she remembered her memories she could destroy.And now that he was already on edge because of insanity, Damon began to depend on the drugs he dealt with for trade as a means of sleep. And now he always called females to his private room to fuck them.Today was just like any other day; he was drunk out of his mind as he called in female omegas; most of them had been drugged up enough as he had his way with them.
Time and time again, it felt like Brynn was going in circles; most days he woke up stress-free, but there were days when she would have terrible nightmares.And today was one of them; she dreamt and saw herself in her room, but the moment she turned to her side to take Kieran and shield him from when he wasn’t there,"Mama,” she said, hearing his cries, but he was nowhere to be found, and that put her into panic mode as she shouted for Kieran. The room felt like it was closing in on her, and she couldn’t get out when she had tried to run, but an arm grabbed her.And she tried to see that it was Damon, his smile stretching from ear to ear, just like a wicked grin. “You’re not going anywhere; you’re mine, you and Kieran.”“ no!” She screams, waking up in a panic, but she looks around and feels her arm being held by someone, and that scared the living daylight out of her, but before she could screen, she heard his voice."Brynn, it’s me; hey, I’m here; you’re okay,” he called, and Brynn
That question caught her off guard, and she had no idea what to make of it. She looked at Killian, who looked a bit sad, but he understood.Even though Damon had not cared for or loved Kieran as much as they both did, he was still someone Kieran saw every day.So Brynn did her job to better explain the situation. As she bent forward to meet her son's eyes at eye level, she put her hand through his hair to calm him.Her son might just be three, but he was the smarter little human who could understand everything she explained, so she did, telling him the straight truth."You see, baby, this is our new home; we aren’t staying with him anymore. Do you know like here?” She was skeptical of what he’d think."No, mama, I love it here,” Kieran said happily, and she could see the genuine joy and truth in his eyes as he began to eat too much of his food.Relief flooded her system as she looked up to meet Killian's gaze, happy that he understood and took it well."So it won’t be bad staying with
Their kiss was not enough; their bodies were hot and ready for each other. Brynn allowed Killian access to her mouth.His hearted tinge made her feel like she was on fire; his hand combed, and you sided with her guard, and Brynn moaned from his touch.Her voice drove him mad as he moved closer, kissing her. They hadn’t gone beyond what they had down in the study, but Brynn was ready.She wanted him so badly she felt herself get wet just from the guy having him. Killian could hardly process what it was when he was; he couldn’t get enough of her taste.He cut the kiss to take one look into her eyes, but Brynn's eyes shined with want and lust for him; she wanted it as much as he did, and Killian was ready to worship her skin and the crying ground that she walked on.He reached for the buttons of her hair, undoing the little buttons that had this hand frazzled and desperate, as he gave Brynn a little backassurance against her skin.The minute he laid sight of her breast, he leaned in, his
***Eight months laterBrynn was panicking. Not only was she preparing for Killian's birthday, but she was also having a panic attack about what to do for him.She couldn't believe that his birthday was only two days away. She had tried to ask Alyssa a few questions, but poor Alyssa could hardly find time to sleep since her daughter's birth.So she couldn't really ask her for advice. She was free to go wherever she wanted, but she had a feeling Killian might not be impressed by anything she bought.He's been busy at the office lately, and she knew he needed to destress. Yes, she was mated to him and the Luna of the Goldcrest, but rightfully, it did belong to Killian, and she gave him the green light to choose who was more suited for the role of leader.Killian had done so much for her over the past year, and she wanted to repay him. "Hey," Alyssa called, as she entered the kitchen. Her eyes looked tired as she cradled her sleeping daughter, Avery, on her chest."Hey..." Brynn says in
The explosion shook the whole room.As Damon immediately realized that this was a trap, Talia must have set him up from the beginning: “No, no, no!” He growled.“It’s over, Damon'' she says to Damon, who grabs her hand; it’s ain’t over till I say so!” He says she is tugging roughly on her hands."Protect me!” He says this to his betas as he escapes, pulling Brynn to a secret door that opens up to an abandoned field where there is a helicopter.“I’m not going with you!” Brynn fought back, hooting Damon, who didn’t budge."No, we are going together; I won’t let Killian have you; you won't let him win, '' he says, pulling her close to the helicopter.There was a loud bang that followed from the secret door that fell, destroyed by Killian powers.“Brynn!” Killian's voice raises in a roar as Brynn stops. Relief fills her system the moment she hears her mate's voice.“Killian!” She shouts, hoping her voice is loud enough to head against the loud chopper's wings, “Killian here!” She shouts a
"We are getting married," Damon says.Brynn knew he was a psychopath, but she never realized he stooped to his level. But what did she expect? He was a power-hungry, thieving scoundrel who coveted her fortune."I won't do that; you're crazy; you're mad, man," Brynn says to Damon, who chuckles."I know I can't coerce you since Killian has done a number on you; that bastard has poisoned your mind to turn against me, and I'll make you see the truth soon enough. But I know how to make you do my bidding, darling," he snarls.He stands up, tugging Brynn roughly out of the chair by her arm, her silver cuff still in place as he escorts her out of the room. The hallways were no different.It was dark and gloomy, with wet, cold ground. Brynn couldn't believe that he had taken so many girls from the pack, selling them and using her to prevent some of them from understanding their fate before Damon had killed them.He was a monster. No, he is a monster."Let me go!" Brynn struggled, but Damon did
The sky was darkened by heavy clouds as rain pelted down on the silver roof of the secret warehouse in the middle of nowhere.With the guards on high alert, they were protecting something precious - the hero and Luna of the Goldcrest Pack, who had been unconscious for some time.Brynn was left in a dark room, only lit by a dying bulb. The cold room caused an uncomfortable shiver to run through her unconscious body as she stirred awake.She opened her eyes, slowly adjusting to the light. Her head throbbed and her neck still stung from the injection she had been forcefully given.She managed to maneuver herself into a seated position despite having her hands tied in front of her. The moment Brynn had a faint recollection of what had happened, her body went into full panic mode."Where am I?" she asked, hearing voices on the other side of the door. It reminded her of what had happened earlier and made her wonder how she was going to handle it.She tugged and struggled, but the cuffs only
Killian.I hear voices all around me and feel a throbbing pain. I try to open my eyes, adjusting to the intense sunlight that pours in.There was a cacophony of shouts and panic as I opened my eyes to see Rex, his face filled with relief. I could also see the bandaged patches on his arms; he had been shot, and I'm sure they used the same darts on him as well. "He's awake!" Her shouts prompt my men to enter.I felt sore and had a throbbing sensation in my head that wouldn't go away. I raised my hand to touch my head and felt something thick and rough - a bandage.I felt a touch on my hand. I exclaimed as I looked up and noticed a needle embedded in my flesh, with an IV drip attached to it. "What the fuck?" I muttered."Sir, you need to calm down; you're wounded," Rex says, but I don't listen to him.I closed my eyes, immediately recalling why I was on this bed, and the image of Brynn came to mind. "Brynn!" I roared, pulling the needle out of my arm.Not caring about the blood splatter,
Meanwhile, Brynn's and Killian's were back at the hotel. Brynn had woken up from her fainting spell and remembered her past memories. The last thing she recalled"I think I saw Damon," Brynn says to Killian, who is stunned into silence. She feels her stomach churn in worry as she rushes to the bathroom.Rushing towards the cold ceramic toilet and vomiting into it, Killian followed her into the bathroom. His face filled with concern as he watched her flush the toilet and use a toothbrush to clean her mouth."Are you sure?""It felt like a hallucination, but I swear it was real. He was looking at me, and I couldn't say anything. I doubt Talia hadn't seen him.""That fucking bastard." Killian muttered as he hurried into the room, grabbing his phone and dialing home. It picked up after a few rings."Hello?" "I need updates about the...what?" Killian asked, panic filling his system. "What do you mean, an attack?" he said over the phone.As Brynn paused, she quickly changed out of her cloth
Talia watched, stunned and confused, as Brynn dropped to the floor. She was unsure why Brynn had fainted. One minute they were arguing, and the next minute Brynn lost consciousness.Everyone was looking at her as if she were the perpetrator, and she did it, Brynn. She would have loved to do this, but she didn't even have the chance. Now, she was being looked at like a villain. What shattered her confidence was the moment Killian arrived, and with a dark look in his eyes, she could sense that he no longer had any faith in her."Killian, I didn't do it; let me explain."" But Killian didn't want to hear or listen. The crowd grew in panic as everyone moved away.Talia was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice a stranger pulling her out of the circle of onlookers. However, when she felt a strong and painful tug on her hand, she snapped back to reality. The stranger guided her through a dimly lit hallway."What the hell?" Who are you? "Let me go!" she shouts, flailing her arms and
“Let go!” Talia shouted at Brynn, whose eyes were cold and angry, and she glared a wolf gold that brought shivers around people’s spines.But Brynn knew better than to start a fight here; she hated this night; she wanted everything to be perfect for Killian, but now it’s all destroyed.She lets go of Talia, having had enough of her shenanigans; she just wants to go to her alpha. "I'm done with this; you’re not worth it,” she whispers to Talia, who scoffs in disbelief as Brynn leaves the party hall.She holds her gown higher so it won’t slow her down as he leaves the hall, but what she doesn’t know is that Talia is right behind her. Talia wasn’t backing down without a fight.“ wait! You think you can leave after insulting and embarrassing me?” She calls Brynn, who didn't do much in turn.But Talia wanted to still talk to her: “Look, I only want you to leave Killian; do you know how much hurt you’ve caused him these past few years after he thought you were dead?”"I'm not in here now; I
Talia had made it a mission to be at Killian's party; she wasn’t going to back down that easily, nor was she going to let Brynn win.She had been anxious for days on end already because of Damon's calls, part of her fear that he might even be brazen enough to show up at this party. He was a man and dangerous.She decided not to dwell on it too much; she wanted to be the belle of the ball at the party, so she called the best designer she could get with the most expensive jewelry. She was going to outshine everyone and get Killian to notice her.She went to the party, and the whole room began whispering the moment she came in. She drew a lot of attention to herself, most of it from the rumors spreading after the video.Talia tried her best to look affected by it, but it wasn’t long till the town's biggest swoons gathered around her table, and she knew they wanted to gossip.“Talia dear!” One of them called Talia, who tried to force a smile on her face. She hated mixing with them, but sh
