Note: This chapter is quite lengthy, but it has a slicing of humor so it's not boring at all. PeytonTime flies so fast because it's been a week since Killian set me free. A week but it still feels like yesterday when I woke up and found him watching me from the only chair that was in my temporary room at his mansion. I spent just two nights there but a whole lot happened, something that can take within the space of two weeks or probably even months, took two days. After two days of knowing Alpha Killian, I can't stop thinking about him. He made me sit next to him, linked his mind with mine to know my thoughts, then told me about how he suffered at the hands of his late father because he was having dyslexia. Even though he's a man now, I can't help but feel pity towards the child he h

Peyton"Anything the matter, why are you here for me?" I ask when I join him at his table because he's the last person I expect to come to see me. And how did he know I work here? "It's been quite a few rough days. How are you, Peyton?" Dylan questions with nothing but genuine concern in his eyes.  He seems very different from the Dylan I was used to. Because the old Dylan didn't bother to hide his dislike towards me.  Maybe some parts of his brain were unscrewed. Freya says in my head. "Good." I lie after gulping, then look away to tuck my hair behind my ear because I can't tell him my days have been horrible with

Killian I've been like shit lately, and Walt is making me get pissed off at every single thing. I yell, punch into the walls, scream at my employees, and stay away from everyone most of the time because having company does no good to me. If it isn't Walt getting agitated and longing for a woman with unforgettable green eyes, it's the face of the said woman tormenting the shit out of my senses. I haven't felt this way before, and I know it's because I freed Peyton, when she's supposed to be by my side because she's my mate. She saved me twice, but keeping her next to me will only endanger her life even more. I have one too many enemies and experience attacks from every angle. So I decided to let her go, even gave her a ten thousand dollar check to take care of herself, but Dylan came back with the check, saying she refused it. Any normal woman would've accepted it, but she refused, putting me in a worried state and making me wonder how she'd cope when she doesn't have a dime. I ca

Listen to To Build A Home - The Cinematic Orchestra. Peyton I've been to several yacht parties with Lancelot before, because it was hosted by his dad which always consisted of roughly thirty people who were very important to the Crimson pack, with my Alpha Ronan not being left out. Hand in Lancelot's, he'd take me around and introduce me to people he knew. He'd show me their photos and made me cram the names of these guests after telling me about them a day or two earlier, so I'd be able to hold a proper conversation with these wealthy people. He always did this because he was brilliant and a constant participant in the business world, and as we were supposed to be mated, I had to be acquainted with these people which earned me some sort of popularity I never desired. My dress and hair were always commended. They liked my style because my maxi dresses, pair of sandals, and straw hat always stood out, mostly when people discovered that I made the dress myself. And Lancelot alway

Peyton "I hope you know you're no match for Killian. That he'd never see you no matter the efforts you put in to get his attention." It's no other person than Rein who has been gulping down several glasses of wine since she came to my side. "No matter what you do, Killian will never see you." She slurs. It's obvious she's drunk because she's had more than a few glasses of wine. "You don't have to worry yourself too much after stating that I'm no match for him, there's no point to be threatened. But not to worry, today will be the last day you, Killian, and everyone here will see me." I say with a small smile, meaning every word because after what just happened a few minutes ago, I figured they don't need me in their space. Wrapping her arm around my shoulder as though we're besties, Rein twirls me to face the sea. "Well then, my hatred will reduce if you keep to your word because Killian is all mine." She circles her free hand in the air for emphasis, then staggers away with her fr

Listen to Lovely by Billie Eilish ft Khalid. Peyton I don't even remember how I dived into the water, but all I see is myself taking swims towards the floating log of wood that has the small bodies of the children tied to it. I can't believe Alvin and his minions can do something so heartless to these children after killing their mother. Due to my ill-judged jumping through the yacht railings, my knee cap got dislocated and my ankle twisted to another angle. But I don't relent. With help from Freya, I keep swimming towards the floating log which is roughly fifty yards away from me. The seawater has this salty scent that itches my throat and causes a sharp burning pain to slice through my chest. There are many disadvantages to me swimming like this, I might even get stuck and drown but I don't give up. Alvin is worse than the devil, and if I come out of here alive along with the kids, then I'll kill him myself if I can. Because the kids are so small, fragile, and innocent. Someth

Killian Things took place unexpectedly. Peyton rushed out of the restroom and shivered like she's got a terrible cold, with her hair disarrayed and her clothes wrinkled. Immediately she yelled at the top of her lungs that there were vampires in the yacht who had killed my cousin, Theodora. I was finding it hard to comprehend what I just heard, same with everyone. But I noticed how Declan's muscles tensed like he got struck by a bolt of lightning. Then the engine made a sparking noise and exploded, taking us all by surprise. Currently, Declan is crying so hard as he holds the lifeless body of Theodora close and kisses her slightly parted lips. I've never seen him like this before. Theodora is the closest thing I have to a family. Her mother was the younger sister of my own mother, so we were quite close even though we didn't get along well due to my bad attitude. But the fact that she's fucking dead makes me so agitated. I can't believe she got killed by the vampires. She was a

KillianThe boat gets stopped almost immediately by Dylan, and we dive into the water and swim forward to where Peyton is with the kids, then help take them into the speed boat before they are taken down into the sea.The rain doesn't stop but I can feel my vision getting blurred with tears as I finally climb into the boat after helping Rick and Austin in it.They were out here suffering, battling with near-drowning while no one had any clue. The vampires had this crafted well. Killing Theodora, blowing up the engine yacht, and putting the kids out in the sea to drown.To think that their tiny bodies came this far, over a hundred yards, far away from the yacht area.And Peyton.Dylan pulls her into the boat because, although she's my mate, It'd be selfish to help her in before the kids.Rick and little Austin are on the floor. They aren't moving. They aren't moving at all, and my heart thuds painfully.I proceed to check their pulses and get irregular movements that give out that they

Peyton "Let's get back," I order, but Freya doesn't listen and does the opposite by taking us deeper into the forest. "There's nothing to be afraid of, Peyton." Several voices ring in Freya's ear, and she growls, shifting her head to different angles. The voices are scary, and I don't know where they came from because it's dark and there's not a single soul out here except me. A giant tree falls in front of us and Freya hurriedly takes a leap backward. "Run, get us out of here," I command Freya authoritatively, but she doesn't. Instead, she takes one unsteady footstep after the other and leaves this side, making fear seethe through every inside. The trees in this forest are closing in, blocking every part so there wouldn't be any way out. But with the help of the full moon, I can see the forest, otherwise, it'd have choked up in extreme darkness. It seems as though Freya is deliberately slowing down, and it's beginning to piss me off. "Listen to me Freya, you'll be doing both

PeytonThe dream of the moon goddess feels so real. I felt her touch, the way my body was being swung in the air. I felt every damn thing.It's morning, and when I look around me, my senses abruptly catch up that I am in Killian's room. Back at his mansion. Not my crappy apartment and the hard bed that supplied body pains whenever I slept in it.I am on Killian's king-sized bed with fluffy pillows that are rendering comfort to my whole body. I am sure whatever migraine I sustained last night disappeared because of it.My jaw drops as I blink a couple of times because my first view of this room wasn't as magnificent as it is now. Maybe it looks better this time because I've spent a night here.Something immediately flashes through my mind, and I can remember everything. Me showing up at the yacht party, meeting with Theodora, and Killian. Alvin and his minions, the kids tied to a log of wood with me trying to save them from drowning. And the last thing I saw before I passed out was my
