It was midday when Brynn woke up, she had tossed and turned all night until sleep could take over her, but it was no use, instead, she used the hours she was awake to decipher what she could get from the text before her eyelids grew heavy after hours and she slept, but now she was back to square one, awake, and the memories of what happened yesterday came flowing in, She moved to sit up leaning on the headboard and saw it was midday already, she decided her room as the library was too closed off for her. As she looked outside, her train of thought was interrupted by the knock on the door, it was Alissa who opened it with a beaming smile that Brynn could now return, “ good morning, Brynn” “ hello Alissa” Brynn greeted back as she noticed the tray that Alissa brought into her room,“ you didn’t have to do that”“ No, it’s no stress or problem, I was glad I saw that you slept for a while today, and you missed breakfast so just think of this as brunch ok?” “ Thank you” Brynn muttered a
•BRYNN• “ What are your thoughts on being my plus one? Killian asks Brynn as he leaned back into his seat, watching her every reaction to his words, He could see the fading realization of his words as Brynn’s delicate lashes sputtered in disbelief as she blinked rapidly with her mouth a bit open,“ You mean to be your date, to an actual party?” “Is that so hard to believe” “No, and yes, I thought you wanted to keep me here, like a dirty little secret and for your entertainment” “Wow, you see me as a brutish tyrant, don’t you?” Killian says, with a. A smirk that had Brynn stuttering out in disbelief. “ No! It's – I’m glad that you asked, of course, I would go” she would be a total fool not to, he was giving her a golden opportunity to leave the estate and see the outside world, and she knew she hadn’t missed much, but this opportunity was a Breath of fresh air served on a Sliver platter. And maybe this opportunity even laid out more, perhaps it was an opportunity for her freedoms
“Should I show it to you? Prove it to you that you’re truly my little wolf?” He asked,“ hm?” Killian whispers to Brynn’s shuddering frame, She took in a breath to calm her breathing heart, she couldn’t think straight and her wolf Leo repeating the word ‘ mine, mine, mine!” In her head, her wolf was preening in happiness from Killian’s attention. But Brynn was unable to make up a straight sentence in her head at that moment, Killian immediately pulled away from her as he headed for the door, “ come one little wolf, the party is at 6 pm, and you Must be tired from the journey,” he said to her as he opened the door. Brynn followed through to see their luggage dropped already, And the suite did not disappoint, it was a beautiful, magnificent large space, it was more of an apartment than just a normal room, the living room with a fireplace, a door to the bedroom, and a large bathroom With a massive bathtub, Brynn touched the pretty star-shaped lamps as she slipped out of the bathroom,
It felt like the whole world had stopped, the whole room fell silent as everyone stared in awe at the beautiful woman who had just walked into the party, The whispers of intrigue and jealousy passed around as Brynn kept her head up, and stood her ground as the belle of the ball.While they all stared, Brynn was a bit taken back by all the eyes on her but tried not to let it show or let the anxiousness kick In “be brave Brynn, you owe them nothing” she whispered to herself as she looked around for her date, She heard footsteps approaching, and the whispers increased, Brynn looked up from her mask to meet the gaze of dark familiar emerald eyes looking at her, It was Killian with a look of surprise and dark want passed around his eyes, like he still couldn’t believe the goddess that stood in front of him“ you look exquisite darling” he muttered to her, making Brynn smile out of the compliment, “ do you think so?”“ Darling, I know so, and I know. Plenty of people In this room would d
“ Mrs. Grey?” Brynn heard the dark familiar voice that terrified her bones deep as she stiffened, she didn’t dare turn to him, didn’t dare answer him. “ Mrs. Grey, I’d like to talk to you about your partner, Mr. Killian Grey, I was hoping we could talk more and set a meeting. …but I’m all the more curious, have we met somewhere before?” He asked, but Brynn didn’t answer him, her body was too weak to move as she shivered“ are you ok? You would rather not answer me?” He asked as his hands moved forward to reach out to her.But Brynn’s eyes were closed as she fought back the prickly tears and the queasy feeling she felt at the back of her throat, everything had become too silent, too dark, and she leaned her hand on the wall to keep her upright since her legs felt like melting jelly.Please, anyone, please help me, I’m scared, Killian!Brynn whimpered as she squeezed her eyes tight, she couldn’t breathe, and she felt Damon edge closer to where she stood, Damon had raised his hand to to
*BRYNN*I feel myself sinking into a deep abyss, into a stale dark smoke that has me trapped, the reoccurring nightmare of Damon finding me and killing me, No, no, I muttered to the memory of Damon’s hand reaching for me,“ no!” I call out as I fly up from my sleep and shout out unconsciously, I had woken up and didn’t know I was dreaming and shouted out loud, the noise must have alerted Killian too, since he rushed into the room and looked at me, really liked at me with his gaze filled with worry“ Brynn? Are you alright?” He says to me as he sits next to me and caresses my face, I felt a quick sting in my heart from how careful he was, he must have been surprised at how I cared last night. “ I-I had a nightmare” I explained“ and I’m sorry about last night, that party just have even more important. I apologize for troubling you”.“Nonsense, you were distressed. Of course that meant more to me,” Killian tells me, and I couldn’t help my heart sting because in this situation, How can
“… hello? Did I Interrupt your conversation?” Brynn asked, feeling like she had walked into something she wasn’t supposed to, and with Nanny Danielle's hostility towards her, she must have been right on the mark.“Hey of course not,” Danielle opposed as she cleaned off her hand,“ I and Killian were just catching up since it’s been over a year since she dropped by” she explains, surprising Brynn, But Killian just shrugged and passed Danielle by“ you know I’m always busy Danielle” he says as he gives Brynn an easy smirk as he too had changed into more casual wear, “ oh, let’s stop talking about that, hm? I'm sure you two are hungry” she said quickly before she led them to the dining room that was already filled with a day's worth of food, the fantastic spread of steak, seafood, pasta, you name it, “ This is lovely, thank you, Mrs. Danielle”“ nanny Danielle is fine,” she said curtly to Brynn before leaving them both on the table for two, Brynn tried to brush off the unusual behavio
•DAMON•Before I could touch Killian’s mysterious guest and finally see her face up close, Killian’s hands interrupted me, and he looked angry, I didn’t want any trouble to start, especially since I wanted the contract from his company, so I swallowed my ego and walked back to my seat, But why couldn’t I get his partner out of my head? What was she reminding me of Brynn who was supposed to be six feet under, I hated this nagging and terrifying feeling that Brynn must have come back from the dead to haunt me and get revenge, The drinks kept coming, and I drank beyond measure, even Thalia too kept on asking for drinks until I was hardly drunk while Thalia was almost unconscious from how much she had drank, It pissed me off that I didn’t have any chance to talk to Killian since he had immediately left the sort after our meeting, I looked over to my side to see Thalia was pissed drunk, but I needed someone in my bed today, I helped Thalia up, taking her to my hotel room, she was drun
***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
