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
BRYNNI feel like I’m floating, warm all over, as I move towards this light, a light that calls me deeper. The light promises warmth, love, and everything I feel my heart wants.And for some reason, that strange light sounded familiar; it sounded like the man who helped me earlier. I reached for that light, but then I felt a hand hold on mine to pull my arm back.I turn in shock to look at who was holding me back, and I see Damon. I've never seen a scary look on his face before.“ Damon”"Come back home; you belong with me; you belong to me!” He growled at me, and I could feel my body panic as his eyes turned a dark, sinister onyx and his grin an evil, bloody one."No, Damon, this isn’t you,” I mutter.“You are my prisoner forever.”“ No!” I screamed, and at that moment my eyes shot open. Panic flooded my system as I sat up. I could hear my heart beat so loudly from the nightmare I just had.But all that felt small when I woke up and could not see my son anywhere. I looked around the
“Because you are my mate,” he tells Brynn, who stares at Killian, perplexed by his declaration.“ what? That can’t be.""You are my mate, Brynn, I swear to you,'' Killian said to Brynn, and she felt like she had been struck with lightning as she felt her knees wobble. She stepped back until her legs hit the couch, and she fell to it.“No, no, you’re insane; you kidnapped me and my son. I don’t know you, and Damon will be looking for us, so please let us go."“ —Brynn!” Killian hissed, getting back her attention as she pushed her hair away to look back up at him, and she could see no hesitation or even a hint of that in his gaze."Listen to me; I didn’t kidnap you, Brynn; Damon did; he took you away from me, and now you’ve lost your memories; you can remember what that vile bastard did,” he says to Brynn, and that leaves her all the more confused.“What? How and why would he do that? When all the pictures and stories I’ve been told were that I grew up in that pack and I loved him,"But
It all felt too surreal—everything that Killian was telling Brynn, she sat and listened to it all, finishing out his stories that had made sense.But there was no way she could trust someone who had truthfully told her he bought her as a slave, right? What if he was just lying to her? Boy, she knew she couldn't deny that he was Kieran’s father.And there was something more to her, something that made her heart ache anytime their eyes met. Brynn was tired; she wanted to close her eyes as she began to feel dizzy."I've kept you awake for so long; you need rest, Brynn,” Killian noted as she stood her and walked her to another door. "Kieran will be up there, and I hope you truly believe me, Brynn,” Killian said as she left her.She watched his retreating figure as he went back downstairs. A part of her wondered how he gave her so much joy to run away right now; even if she wanted to, the mansion was too big to even start thinking of a way to.And in no way had Killian acted badly toward
DAMONI should have known.I should have wondered why I hadn’t gotten any calls or disturbances since morning.I consumed myself with meeting after meeting out the days; I was already planning my grand debut back into society and getting revenge on Killian after years of planning. I planned to get Brynn to sign over some documents so the Goldcrest pack could be fully mine.By all rights, everything would have gone to her son Kieran, and that made a wave of anger and jealousy pour heavily that I’m never the first choice. And even to that little runt that Brynn cared for more than me.I had tried to take care of him as my own when he was born, but every day he grew bigger, the uncanny resemblance was just too much, and every day I could only think of Killian when I saw Kieran.The nightmares I got became even worse anytime I looked into those distinct gray eyes, and everything was more like his after every one, so I decided to hold myself in the office till the early hours instead.But
For the first time in a while, Brynn had the quietest and best sleep of her life. Her body called to the scent that filtered into her room when she was sleeping, but she had no idea that it was from Killian, who stared at both of them for a few minutes before he left.Brynn woke up not long after, stretching after a good night's sleep. She should feel guilty for sleeping so comfortably in someone else’s home, but right now she just wanted to feel and be where she wanted to be.For three years, he had felt like a doll who was made to please Damon, wearing whatever he bought and pleased, and was told never to complain or speak up, and now that gave her a timid personality because of how she was seen by Damon.She pushed that thought away from her head and turned to her son to see if he was waking up from sleep, and Brynn couldn’t help but smile. He was the one enjoying this the most with no worries, and she wished she could be like him in that moment, innocent with no worries in the wor
"I was thinking about you, Brynn Kelly,” Killian says to Brynn, leaving her stunned and speechless. She didn’t know what to make of his shameless words.She raised her gaze to wet his, and Killian stared back unabashedly because his eye narrowed down on her and turned dark, which made Brynn’s inside melt in a puddle of silver gray traps that were his eyes.Before she could get more sucked into it. She turned away from his eyes, which felt like a never-ending whirlpool. “ um… I’ll make you a plate,” she suggested.Killian didn’t say anything but a nod as he watched her get to work, taking charge of this space like she had been here for the past three years and not just in his dreams. And Killian should pinch himself and remember to breathe.And when her back turned away from him to get bacon from the fridge, he assured himself that this wasn’t a dream and that Brynn was here making breakfast for him right now.“I’m sorry about how yesterday went, and if I acted any way toward you, I’m
