After Killian's confrontation with Herron and Damon, he feels too angry to head back to the gray estate because his bloodlust is still burning through him, so instead, he heads for his company, with a nurturing head that jumps his skull with each pressing minute that passes.Yes, it was a bittersweet feeling that he finally met with his parent's killer; he finally stood up to the demon called Herron, and it didn't still help that he felt a brimming hatred for the pair after what they’d done, and Killian couldn't help the memories he repressed for decades come to light. From the frying to the flames, everything still hurt, and he would make Herron suffer tenfold for it.“Mr. Grey, we're here,” the driver calls to Killian to get his attention as he pushes the dark thoughts down.He noted the soft showers of rain that drizzled as he walked into the company; it was already past 4 p.m., and there were a lot of surprised faces that greeted him when he passed by the lobby and entered his off
Brynn woke up a few hours after she had slept off again. She recalled Killian telling her about the meeting that he was going to have with the Coles, and she couldn't help but feel worried about it.And all the more, she missed her mate beside her; she wanted him to spend time with her. Even though he worshiped her body with lovemaking for hours on the bed and in the bathroom, Brynn couldn't get enough of him.She crawled out of bed, still feeling queasy, as she took a hot shower. She entered the room and was nearly spooked by the loud sound of thunder in the far distance as the sky was turning gray.But all the more, she wondered why she felt so dizzy—maybe because she hadn’t eaten for a while, she thought as she walked out of the room after getting dressed.She walked into the kitchen to see that Alyssa and another maid were on cleaning duty and were dusting the counter when she entered. Alyssa immediately noticed her, and her smile widened."Brynn,” she called to her before he hugg
Thalia rode in her car, her hands shaking at her side as she recalled the plan she made with Damon earlier, and now she was on her way back to Killian's company."You can do this; just act natural," she repeated as she walked into the company with a brown paper bag that had wine in it. Her steps were steady, with her heels clacking with each step.She was honestly still surprised that Killian was still here, but something told her it had to do with the wrath, and maybe a higher deity was on her side and giving her a chance to do this.She entered his office to see Killian backing away from her, his phone on loudspeaker as he spoke into it. "What do you mean the airport still has not given the go-ahead for me to get back home?" he asked with a snarl."I'm sorry, sir, but the storm seems to be getting worse with every passing moment, so it will be delayed a few hours right now—" Killian cut the call, massaging his temples from a headache because he was already annoyed that he couldn't g
Stunned was too much of an understatement for what Brynn was feeling at that moment. She looked up to see none other than the devil himself standing in front of her.A wave of panic and horror went through her as she looked at the door and didn't see him barging in, knowing something must have happened to him."Herron?" she called out in disbelief as the older wolf chuckled darkly. Brynn's heartbeat felt like it was on overdrive as her senses sharpened. All she could smell was an unsettling aura coming from him, and all she could think of was her fight or flight response. "What are you doing here?""Of course, I came to see you.""Why are you coming to see me?""I've come to ask for forgiveness for my son's rash decision. I did not know he did that and lied to me. I didn't know that he tried to kill you, my dear child. You trust me; I'm your uncle, Brynn. So tell Killian not to attack us," Herron said desperately.But with each step he took closer to Brynn, she took another step back.
KILLIAN.I don’t know why everything felt like a freaking mess; everything felt wrong from the time the storm started and I was left stranded in the big city. Nothing felt right.My conversation with Talia earlier all ended up a bit weirder than I imagined, as I could tell she was more nervous than usual, but I brushed it off. Now that I sat at my desk, thrumming my fingers, my team had already notified me that I could leave now.Yet as I stand up to go, I see Ray coming into the office to hand his phone over to me. "I'm sorry for the disturbance, boss, but there seems to be a problem, and Marcel wants to talk to you,” Ray tells me before handing the phone over.And my mind immediately wavered, with a bad feeling in my chest. I took the time home already, noting that Marcel was acting strange through the line, but nothing made me expect the news he broke out to me at that moment."I'm sorry, boss, but Miss Brynn Kelly has been kidnapped,” he says to me again, and it felt like the room
The cars trailed behind each other fast, passing all other cars like a blinding wind till they reached a rough road, cornering into the dark road.“This is where the location is pinned to the boss.”“We won’t get close but lie and wait in an ambush till the perfect moment; our priority is not to make Miss Kelly hurt in any way,” Killian tells them.Now they were staking across the river planes of the seas. The storm and wind still made the water unsettling and rough; it looked like a death wish to anyone who dared enter, and Herron's car was parked right at the cliff edge.It wasn’t long till the phone began to ring, and Killian picked it up immediately. “Where is she? I’ve done my part of the deal,” Killian said with a deadly whisper."Then why do you have me surround you, bastard?" Herron says it with a deadly tone."No one will attack; just bring Brynn out; I just want her, and not you; you’ve got what you wanted; you’ve got the Goldcrest pack and immunity on your side,” Killian sa
“Because she was pregnant!” Alyssa calls to Killian, whose hands pause mid-air from landing another punch on Marcel's already bloodied face.The shock was even in his face as Killin stood up and walked over to where Alyssa stood. Even though Alyssa was scared out of her mind, she knew she at least wowed him with an explanation.And guilt filled her system, knowing she was the one who begged for Brynn to be taken to the hospital. “What the fuxk did you just say?" He raged at Lauds, who finched at his growl."Miss Brynn fell ill, and I panicked. I had no way to fix this or the storm; we couldn’t calm you. I was scared she was poisoned, so I begged Marcel to let us go, and then we found she was pregnant,” Alyssa explained. “It's my fault.”"Get out, everyone!”Killian raged at everyone leaving the room. Marcel was helped up by Ray and Alyssa, who took him out and left the Killian room.And then the mad rampage began. Killian pushed and threw the bedside table until it crashed into the gl
Killian is forced to head home after that, with Marcel almost being tossed aside from Killian's strengths once again.But part of Killian felt he had to come to terms with it; he couldn’t blame anyone but himself, only if he was here and only if he was around when she needed him. Even after she told him to stay home, he didn’t listen to Brynn.And now she is gone.His grief was like a spinning nail, spinning deeper and wounding his heart. The pain grew so bad he wanted nothing but to feel numb, so as he went home, Walden went into his study, instructing everyone to stay out.He walked to his bar, a golden column that stashed his wine and alcohol. He was on the top shelf for whiskey, stringing the bitter taste straight from the bottle and gulping it till he could hardly breathe.He didn’t even bother to return to his room; he couldn’t, not if Brynn’s scent was still everywhere. After he destroyed the room, Evan's scent was still everywhere, so instead he chose to stay here.He drinks f
