KILLIAN’S POVI had felt her before I saw her when I entered. Her presence was like a calm river but now it was feeling turbulent. There was chaos in her gaze, and pain and rage. I didn't know what put those feelings in her eyes but I wanted them gone. I wanted to reach out to her but why? Why was I so bothered about how she felt? Why did I want her not to feel sad?I sighed, “That's not something I can control.” I said, “I create the opportunities, one can only hope that they were created at the right time.”She scoffed at me. This one was brave. It was like there was no iota of fear in her. I liked it. I liked how she didn't seem to cower in my presence. It was refreshing to see.“Well fuxk your opportunities then.” She said, angry.“I don't know why you're so upset. The actions of the other Alphas are completely beyond my control.” I said, “But you still haven't explained why you helped Clarissa with something so dangerous that its existence threatens us.”“Doc wants to use it to
Sarah recalled the details of that night, answering each question he shot at her with ease. Even the ones I never expected him to ask. Then he asked a question that I could tell she was not expecting.“So tell me then, Sarah,” he leaned back in his chair, the picture of control and power, “You claim not to have anything with this pup, yet I have reports that you have been visiting him at the clinic. Why?”Everyone's gaze turned to her, except Killian's; his gaze was on me, and it remained so till Sarah cleared her throat.“Well, I felt guilty.” She said,“Guilty?” He raised a brow, “Are you responsible for his attack? Did you tell the wolves that attacked him that he was the one they should go for?”“Well no-”“Then what exactly are you sorry for?” He interrupted. “I just didn’t-" She tried again.“Is there something you want to say?” He asked, interrupting her again.I couldn't take it anymore, “If you'd just let her speak, you'd find out if she had something to say.” I retorted in
I spent that night tossing and turning worriedly. Why would Alpha Killian want to see all of us, if the questions he had were about what happened at the art fair? It was only Sarah who could answer the questions relating to it.I finally drifted off to sleep later in the night and was awoken by Sarah and Camille who were already ready to go.“Go get ready, we are waiting for you,” Camille said in a subdued tone. From her countenance and that of Sarah, it was obvious they had talked about what happened yesterday. I could only hope it ended well between them.I got ready and together we made our way to the pack house. It took thirty minutes, even though we went by bus, and although we never said it out loud, we were worried.It was my first time seeing the pack house, the Alpha’s home, as I had no reason to be around here. It was a large three-story building with many windows, and I could assume many doors and rooms as well. There was someone at the entrance waiting. For us, it was Ange
LILLIANA'S POV I was on my bed, relaxing and worried about things. Though the warriors tried to hide it during training, it was obvious that the rogue attacks were bothering them. The way things were I was beginning to wonder if the war was really coming like Doc said. We had successfully created both forms of the aconites, and she had weaponized Modenite and had found ways to turn Ledonite into pills. Why? I had no clue, but now that I was done helping her, I left, but I made sure to put in a failsafe, though. I couldn’t risk anyone I cared about getting hurt by that thing.The door opened with a loud bang, I jumped from my bed in shock. In came Camille who dragged Sarah in behind her.“Oh my gosh!” She exclaimed and then jumped on her bed, her body vibrating with excitement. “What is it?” I asked, lying back down, trying to calm my racing heart.“You will not believe what's going on today!” She squealed. On her bed, Sarah rolled her eyes.I turned to Sarah, begging her with my eye
KILLIAN’S POVIt had been a year already. A year away from my pack, my home, but finally coming home.I watched through the window as the plane flew across the ocean. I never liked travelling. I detested it with a passion. Yet it was something I had to do repeatedly as an Alpha. It was an exhausting thing.“Penny for your thoughts?” Clarke said next to me, as he took a sip of his drink.I chuckled darkly, “You'd need more than a penny for the thoughts going through my mind.” I said in reply.“Ah, so dollar then.” He said with a chuckle.“Hmm. How hilarious.” I said dryly.“But really, though, Killian, what's bothering you. I can feel you thinking.” He said.“I'm worried about the state of things when we get back.” I admitted, “There have been attacks.”“Yes, by rogues and the warriors handled them before they did any real damage.”“I know that, but rogues never once dared to attack us, plus the reports they sent said they always ran away before any one of them could get seriously hurt
SARAH'S POV“I'll meet you over at Camille’s stand,” I told Lilliana.“Are you sure?”, she asked, “I don't mind waiting.”“No, I want to look around a bit more, but I don't want her there too long. So go be with her. I'll be there soon.”She nodded, waved, and walked off to join Camille. I stood back, eyes looking around at the various tent-like stands that were around me. One in particular caught my eye- it sold trinkets and such. I approached it eagerly. “Well, I see you have a great eye.” The person there said.“Really? I just thought it looked pretty.” It was a silver wolf-shaped hairpin with red jewels for its eyes.“A pretty pin for a pretty wolf.” he grinned at me.“How much for it?” I asked.“Hmm, it's only 15 but for you, I'll accept 10.” He said.“10? That's nice of you. Thank you.” I reached into my purse and eagerly brought out the money.“Don’t worry. I got this.” A familiar voice said from behind me and I froze instantly recognizing it. I would recognize that voice anyw
