"Killian I-I" Brynn stuttered Fearing what he would do, she hated this cold drive between them, but she knew the cat was out of the bag, and it was no longer a secret.She felt like she was caught in a nightmare; this isn’t how she wanted him to find out, and she could feel the raw rage radiating off him as he stared her down.It didn’t help that Thalia stood at the side, snickering at Brynn’s misfortune. She turned to Killian, walking closer to him with a smirk on her face as she flipped her blond hair and took his arm."Killian! "Thank goodness you’re here; she was threatening me; she is a lying, conniving thief, hired by her fiancé Damon to spy on you!" She had clearly lied to him, and Brynn didn’t know what to do.She felt like screaming with each word that Thalia said felt like a glass shard being pieced into her heart."Thalia…" Killian said as it felt like the whole world had become silent from his cold aura as he turned coldly to her and said, "Get out." She snarled at Tha
•KILLIAN•I should have known something was wrong since the very first day. I should have followed my instincts and persisted until she told me everything.Even when I noticed she was uncomfortable the whole trip after her encounter with Damon at the party, I should have expected it.And even the message from my emails sent to me about her secrets seemed suspicious; it kept me in my office for hours, troubled me more than I expected, and I didn’t want it to be true."I need a smoke," I uttered to myself as I went by my study balcony to clear my head, lighting up a cigarette not until I noticed two figures that stood in the garden.It was Brynn and... Thalia? What the fuck was Thalia doing here? Before I could even question why she was in my estate so late, I saw her push Brynn down to the floor and a feral rage rose in me. "What the hell?" I muttered. I rushed out of my office only to see Alissa, the maid I had assigned to Brynn; she looked exhausted and worry filled her features. "M
Brynn felt empty.Empty couldn’t even fully describe how she felt, how broken and crestfallen she was right now, The moment Killian shut the door In her face, she fell to the ground. In agony, "It’s over; it’s all over." He will never see me the same way again! She cried endlessly.Her heart felt like it was being blown to pieces. "You have to wait for him, Brynn; wait and be patient; for sure he will come back, and you will tell him everything when he wants to listen," she tells herself in encouragement that she’ll wait. Four days had passed without any words from Killian. Brynn was desperate at this point; she had been locked in this room for days with no sign of Killian showing up and no sign of Alissa, the only person to whom she was close to some extent.She was anxious every time the door opened; she hoped it was Killian, but it was a different maid every day. It made Brynn nervous and made her think of different scenarios."What if Killian had abandoned me and the woman had no
Brynn’s body was shaking so much that she thought she would explode from not touching him; she had craved him for days, and all the more she wanted to talk to him and apologize, to say anything to change that untrusting look in his gaze that broke her heart.But she had been given no chance to, especially now that she was in between his legs, helpless and desperate for nothing but him."Killian," she started, but he hushed up as he raised his index fingers, which fell on her lips."Shhh, little wolf," Killian says coldly, and Brynn immediately obeys. She could feel her legs already getting weaker the more she knelt, but she was too focused on him to give a damn at the moment.His hand reached her lips. Tracing it as her lower lips opened up from the intrusion of his fingers, it made Brynn open her mouth wider to take in his thumb, which she sucked, rolling her lips around his thick, rough finger. "Of course you’re good for this, and only this.""I’m yours, remember?" She muttered agai
Killian wants to take his mind off Brynn, off the hate, the rage, and the painful thought of her that feels like it would eat him alive.All this time, she was right under his nose; the sources that he had read as part of his investigation showed that Ezra's only child had died, which is why he didn’t even bother at the time to look into her name.And that was a grave mistake he made. What were the odds that she was alive and right under his roof? All the nights he had spent with her, both pleasant and unpleasant; all the secrets he told her; the fact that he trusted her;He had tried to look over the fact that Brynn was from the Gold Crest pack, but this was worse: she shared the same blood as his sworn enemy, and she knew all this time that he couldn’t forgive her.He hated the tight feeling in his chest when he gazed down at her naked, wrecked frame; he wanted to reach out to her but had stopped himself and instead stormed out of the room, not to give into his inner temptation.Was
•BRYNN•The moment he left my room, I felt like my heart had been ripped out of me. I heard footsteps, but none of them had that familiar tone to them or his scent; he did reject me."Brynn, you can’t stay here sulking; you have to fight; let him know how much you regret everything and how much you love him," I tell myself as I dress up.I wore casual Jean pants and a white long-sleeved V-neck altered top before I packed my hair into a ponytail and just waited. I didn’t know what I was waiting for.Not until I heard the door unclick and saw Alissa standing outside it with an assuring smile but one laced with pity, like she had known what happened, I didn’t care if she pitted me against her as I ran toward her and hugged her; it was nice seeing a familiar face I could talk to. "Alissa, thank goodness you’re here," I muttered as I felt her hold me tighter.She was patient, not moving away from my gaze as I looked up to meet hers. "And how have you been, Brynn?""Not good." I couldn’t
"Killian got into an accident." Brynn repeated it like she couldn’t believe it; her blood had run cold the moment Marcel had mentioned it, and now she was left clueless and anxious about Killian’s situation or if something worse had happened. It was Alissa's feverish shaking that broke her dark train of thought and made Brynn finally snap out of it and look at Alissa and say, "Brynn! "Brynn, you need to calm down, please," Alissa tells her, as they could only watch Marcel leave the compound with multiple guards and three cars in tow as they left the estate."Alissa, how-how, can I calm down?" "I feel like I’m about to die from the pain in my heart," Brynn called as she clutched her chest, which stung from the raw sadness since she didn’t know if Killian was even breathing right now. "Alissa "I need to know if he’s okay." "I need to know," Brynn stuttered out as a fresh set of tears bawled out of her eyes."He’s fine; Master Killian is a fighter; he has to be alive and well; I’m su
Brynn stared at Thalia, who had removed the sun shades from her face to stare at Brynn; her gaze was filled with hatred she had for Brynn."You are not entitled to ask why I’m here, Thalia; this isn’t your home," Brynn says to her as she folds her arms in front of her.Thalia gasped at her audacity as she moved forward. "You have some nerves still showing your shameless face here after it’s been proven how you’re such a gold digger," Thalia says.But Brynn kept her cool; she didn’t have the time to argue with Thalia, especially when there was something else more important at hand, not when Killian was still in the hospital, but Thalia looked like she wanted a fight and wouldn’t stop until she got it.Thalia tapped her designer boot to the ground to dust imaginary dirt off it. Likewise, she calls, "If you’d excuse me and move the hell away, I’d like to go in."" Why?""Because I’m here to see Killian, are you stupid?" She spits out, annoyed as to why Brynn was questioning her. But Bry
