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
Damon roared in anguish as Killian slit him on the hand. He couldn’t attack, knowing how strong the Lycan was, and he would be dead in seconds.So he could only watch as Killian retreated, and he clicked onto his bleeding hands, looking back at the helicopter as it left.He could only blame his father in a cursed tone, knowing the plan had only worked halfway and the deeds were not sent to him on time before everything that happened, and now the only person who knew where the other deed was was Ezra and his daughter Brynn.He recalls the moment of the accident, and he was standing at the lower edge of the cliff. The plan was to trick Killian into signing it, then escape the car quietly and quickly before he exploded.But as he listened in over the call, he could tell that Brynn had gotten lost in her bounds and began to fight back at my father, Herron. One thing led to another, and he heard the car’s ignition push forward.Before Damon knew it, he saw the car tumbling down the hill, o
BRYNNWhy?Why do I feel this way? Why do I feel like I'm trapped in a dark room with my thoughts and mind broken into tiny shards and pieces that can’t be fixed?The minute I opened my eyes I knew something was amiss, I felt numb all around and my body ached like I had faked from somewhere.My bones grained from every move I made, and the moment I saw two strangers my mind went on a drive, the other clammier to a doctor while the latter looked at me like he had been waiting.But lost consciousness the moment I tried to think about what happened, only pain and broken memories came back anytime I closed my eyes. And I’ve been like this for the past few days.I was cared out of my mind, cared if the doctor, and I had taken claim to the corner of the room to be my space, curling up here when I had the chance.I haven’t left the room in days I’ve been stuck here, with only the strange handsome man as my companion.At first, I didn’t want to eat the food they brought to me out of doubt, bu
