After that encounter with Killian in his bathroom, Brynn had rushed out of his room and run into the corridors to take a breath; she had almost leaned forward and kissed him, almost becoming selfish.She held on to a breath as she hurried to her room, feeling hot and queasy for some reason. Her wolf was trashing for her to go back to him, but Brynn fought the selfish urge to. She felt like she didn’t have any right to want him for herself—he wasn’t hers.Brynn felt her legs becoming weaker and felt like she was pulling weights with each step she took to her room. She could feel her hand clamping up in cold sweat as she walked into the dimly lit room, For a moment, it felt like the bedpost had become so narrow and far away that I felt the whole room spinning off its axis. She immediately felt a sharp pain, like a hard sting to the gut. "Ugh," Brynn groaned out, pushing her way to the bathroom.What is going on with me? She thought as she peeled off my clothes and went under the hot sh
•BRYNN•I felt my body drift in and out of sleep for hours, and I felt like I was floating on a cloud. I opened my eyes to see that I was not in my room anymore, and my heat from the other night was gone.which was weird because normally I would be in bed and still in pain for two more days, but then it came rushing back to me what I did last night. It was obvious from the torn sheets and pillows that I was laying in a mess I created.Last night Killian had taken me multiple times to calm the fiery heat in me, and just the thought of sending a shock of pleasure down the pit of my stomach made me look, and I turned to the right to see the space next to me was empty.Meaning Killian was out, and I had my thoughts to myself for the next few minutes, I lay in silence as I tried to calm my heavy breathing, I pushed myself off the bed and tried to study meals as my leg felt like it was melting icicles, I felt sore all over but fully satisfied; whatever I had done with Killian last night ha
"Tell me everything," Brynn told Killian, who watches her every shiver or if there is even a slight hint of fear, and she wants to go back out, but there is no sign of hesitation.He sighed as he pushed the hair off his face and took a seat on the arm of the couch, facing her. Brynn thought he would just ignore her and decide not to say anything until she heard his voice break through the quiet room."My mom, Fiona, was a wolf from the Gold Crest pack, and she was a kind and beautiful person; that was all Nanny Danielle had told me and consoled me all my life since I lost her."He says as Brynn curls up on the floor, wrapping her arm around her folded knees as her back leans against the wall, shadowing the dimly lit room. "And she knew my father.""Yes," Killian says, "she also knew Herron too." "Best of friends," I might say, "isn’t it ironic?""Nanny Daniele had explained to me that long ago, when the Lycan were known as powerful, cold, and wicked tyrants who ruled over the wolves, a
.BRYNN.I was shocked that Killian was willing. To allow me to explain to him about what Herron had done to me, the thought of me being back in the arms of Damon, his son, the man who had taken and used my love for him for granted, brought all the dark thoughts and trauma I’ve tried to shut out for these past few months rushing back in full force.Killian had to steady me and bring me to one of the chairs where I sat; where do I even start? I thought, but just pushed myself to speak and say something. "I could never have thought that what I had gone through would ever happen to me," I say as I clutch hard on the hem of the hoodie I was wearing more like a gown than a shirt. "My father was the alpha leader, and things were going well." I was treated as I grew up knowing, and then I was only told good things when I asked about my dead mom. I was seen as just a fragile girl that would break under pressure, but there was always someone who was there when I needed someone to talk to, Damon
***Meanwhile, on the southern islands, Damon was out of it and scared out of his mind. No news from Thalia was even bad or worse news, and he hadn’t heard anything back from her; it had him on edge, and now he was sure that not only Father but Arya had noticed too.Damon sat in his dark study, brooding over warm whiskey that he doused in shots down his throat. He had not yet mentioned to his father the possibility that Brynn was alive; he would rather not be looked at by his father like a failure, and he wanted to take care of it discreetly, but how? How could he do that when he has not even had the chance to get a little glimpse of her face, much less have a conversation? For all he knew, she might be scheming and telling Killian all manner of things that might end up canceling the project and contract he had strived to get for years now. “No!” Damon hissed as he let the cup on his head hit the wall with a loud smash that echoed around his office, and a moment later his father open
"Argh, ouch!" Brynn hissed as Killian threw another punch at her, but he was too fast that she could hardly block it In time, her body ached from his merciless and evasive punches." ok! Ok! Time out!" She groaned as she picked herself up from the floor to meet the gaze of Killian, who looked almost amused by how miserable she looked. "Stop gloating" "I’m not, and you’re doing so good, little wolf," Jillian whispered in Brynn's ears. That brought a pink hue back to her cheeks from his praise, as Killian had been training for the last few weeks and his hand had become better."You were in a cast just a few weeks ago, and now you pack a mean punch; it makes no sense!" Brynn complains to Killian, who just smirks."You have a lot to learn, little wolf, but for now, I need you to run three miles across the beach bed, and I will be watching from my office.""You’re not coming?""Not today, no, I have something to attend, so five miles?""I thought you’d just said three?!""Four the
"Leave her alone!" Brynn screamed at the men who hovered over the woman who struggled and cried out in desperation for help, and in retaliation, one of the men gave the woman a hard smack on the face that immediately made her unconscious and dizzy. It made Brynn so angry to see men treating an innocent woman like this,She had no backup, but she had to do something! "Don't try to act like a hero and go away, pretty woman, or else when we are done with you, you will be only able to limp out of here," one said while the others snickered at his snide harassing remarks to Brynn, and with no warning, Brynn charged immediately to the man on the right, throwing him a heavy punch that made him lose his standing and stagger down a slope to a waste bin and fall. "Argh!" he groaned as he touched his reddened nose to see it was broken from Bryn's attack, ""You fucking bitch!" They screamed as the others scrambled for Brynn, catching her by the wrist and throwing her to the ground. "Get off me!"
"Brynn, just how?" "How are you alive?" "It's a long story, Ayra, and it’s so good to see you after all these years." I’m sorry we have to meet under these harsher circumstances; what happened to you wasn’t fair."And you didn’t even hesitate to save me?" Arya asked, a little perplexed by how Brynn bravely helped her, and a sting of anxiousness swallowed her whole after she thought about how jealous she was when Brynn was in the picture.Now that Brynn was the one who saved her from the perpetrator's hand, she felt dizzy just thinking about it. "Are you alright?" Brynn asked, immediately leaping forward to help Arya sit up on the bed. "Here, have this cool water and medicine for your headache," Brynn insisted.Arya took the water slowly, but her gaze hadn’t left Brynn; it couldn’t; she still didn’t understand how Brynn was alive and well, more than well."Where am I?" "And how-how are you alive?" "I heard from the pack that you were dead; Damon told me you were dead; were you just pl
