KILLIANFrom the moment that Marcel had come to take me back home, my mind had gone blank in the car, and I blacked out without knowing it.But right now, why am I seeing her here? Why am I seeing Brynn lying beside me with the feel of crisp white sheets surrounding our bodies as I watch her smile?But the moment I tried reaching out for her, it felt like a dream as she faded. No one was beside me anymore as the nightmare replayed. I found myself on that dreaded cliff, watching as the car ran over the rocks over and over again while I watched in that dreaded storm.It was pure torture for me, from the inside out, yet I could do nothing but watch as Brynn died. "Brynn!” I shouted.My eyes quickly shot open as I was in shock. I quickly sat up from the bed, my body heated and sweaty from the nightmare. Why, just as I was still dreaming of her, was any dream trying so hard to tell me? I wondered.“ fuck..” I muttered, standing up from the bed, even with my rippling hangover that felt like
Marcel wasn’t at all surprised by how the meeting with Killian went. A part of him wanted to investigate it himself, but he hated for Killian to find out through other means before he could even tell him.But he could see the fear and doubt in Killian's eyes, knowing he didn’t want to have hope and let it lead to a dead end. Of course, it’s been three years since she died, and him getting this clue just a few days ago makes it seem unreal.It still felt unreal to Marcel.As he left Killian Study, he couldn’t help but wonder why Talia was in such a good mood, but most of all, he wanted to see the only person who could brighten his mood right now. His lover.But before he could even think of going to see her, Rey came into view, his face scrunched in worry as she watched Marcel come out to see if he studied.“So how did it go? What did he do? Did he take it well?” Ray asked as he got into the same room as Marcel, and they walked away from the study."He wasn’t keen on it, more like he d
BRYNN.Brynn, Brynn.I hear a name calling for me, but every turn I take, it’s always a dead end. I feel like I'm a maze in the mirror, and all my reflections are staring at me with a sick, twisted smile on their faces. They were laughing at me.Mocking me because I didn’t even know myself; I didn’t know who I was. There was just a dark feeling and this feeling of regret heavy on my tongue, and the further I ran to catch this strange figure, the more it shrank.And I was left alone in a dark room. Please, someone, tell me who I am!“Mommy!” I hear my name called by a precious voice as my eyes shoot open, looking beside me to see the joy of my ice looking down at me, confused as to why I seemed so on edge."Hi Mommy,” my beautiful three-year-old Ollie baby boy Kieran says to me as he pulls forward to kiss my cheeks and hug him, the only thing and person weighing me down from not getting lost in my dark thoughts.“hi baby”"Mummy, you are shaking in your sleepy time,” he says worriedly.
Kieran squealed so hard when Brynn told him about her plans to go out of the pack for his birthday first, and she had never seen her child so happy or so excited to do something.It brought joy to her heart and also a painful ache; even a small gesture of going out was such a joy for him. When did it get so bad, and why did she not notice sooner? She wondered to herself.She had to do this because she wanted her baby boy to feel loved and happy his whole life, just like he was now, and not scared when his father's name or even voice was heard.Brynn made it her mission as Kieran waited for her after he promised to be a good boy. She walked to Macy's room, knowing quietly until she opened the door, and there was a knowing smile on the maid's face as she opened the door wider.Stretching her hand towards Brynn and handing her a blue long dress with black floral patterns around it is simple and a good way to blend in. “Here, I’m sure you’ll be well hidden in this,” she offered with a smi
Killian watched as Talia walked out of his study after telling him stories of her travels that he didn’t want to listen to.She told him that she had announced to the news outlet about their relationship, and she wanted him to come to a charity even though her company was preparing.But the moment she left, he knew he had ignored her for days on end; even the day the news of their engagement broke out on national TV, he could do so little as react.She sees his phone blowing up throughout the day, from congratulatory messages to ones filled with shock and surprise, but she can hardly read or go through them.He felt nothing, nothing at all, but it’s been three years and he’s told himself to move on, and even if Marcel had told him about his sources, he was still skeptical and made himself ignore it.There was a knock on the door that finally took his attention away from his buzzing phone, which he had imagined smashing into a million pieces.But she owned up to the door instead of “Co
BRYNNThe ride on the ferry took a few hours, but thankfully I could rest my eyes for an hour before I felt a light tap on my arm waking me up; it was Macy."We're almost at the docks, dear,” she says kindly to me as I sit up. My baby is still sleeping soundly in my arms. At least I was well rested and less anxious as the city lights came into view.We dropped out of the boat, filing out quietly, with Macy leading me. You could feel my son steer awake the moment we entered the taxi, making sure he was comfortable enough as the taxi took off into the city.I couldn't help but feel in awe everywhere I got a sight of and how amazing it all was—the curt light, the people and shops that were still open—something I hadn't experienced. It felt so thrilling to see.I felt the taxi ride wasn’t even as long as I wanted it to be as it stopped at right familiar starlight; it was star play; we were finally at the park; and my son was wide awake, dipping in his juice and munching on the donut I bro
Brynn didn’t understand why her heart was hurting just by looking at this stranger, and her wolf whined in delight, which confused her no doubt.She had this feeling of Deja Vu she had never gotten before as she stared at them, and her heart ached for no reason.The cheers grew louder as Talia locked arms with Killian, who looked down at all of it. Killian would rather be anywhere else than with Talia at this moment.But the only thing that calmed him was that he was surrounded by children, pure, innocent beings who could do no wrong, and it made his mind think of how old his hold would have been if they had the chance to come into the world.After they were introduced, they were given a seat where they could watch the remaining show.The organizer had called for kids to come perform the song for high prizes, but Killian felt like he wanted to leave. For a moment, he wanted to see what the kids had in store.Brynn still couldn’t take her eye off Killian, even as she was in the dark cr
KILLIANStunned wasn’t even the word that could explain what I felt at that very moment.I felt like the word had stopped the moment I turned to that shatter to see who was standing there—it was Brynn, my Brynn.Helpless, scared, but alive.I walked back to the stage with a large stride but waited for another moment as my world growled to protect her. I didn’t even feel like myself anymore, just this feral Lycan who wanted nothing more but to protect his mate.The moment I reached for her and stopped all the cameras from taking pictures, I felt like I could hardly breathe the moment I touched her; she was real, real flesh, and she was where, yet even with her hair cut a bit shorter, she was still my Brynn.I led her back to the back room, seeing the terror in her eyes and her sons, and now that I was near them, I knew why I could feel that pull. I took them through the stage, telling Rex to guard the door.I could see the shock and surprise on Rex’s face when he saw Brynn, and a relie
