Killian's POV.I dragged my heavy feet into the palace, heading towards my chamber, traces of dried tears coated on my cheeks. Taking a turn towards my room, I came across my mom."Oh my goodness, what the hell happened to you?" She panicked."Elena was innocent the entire time, Mother, she never committed the crime," my voice came out extremely low, I could barely even hear myself."What?""It was a setup, everyone conspired against her, what's her offense? Did she make herself an omega wolf?" I lamented bitterly."Oh child," she quickly pulled me into her arms, engulfing me in a warm embrace. "I'm so sorry," "I failed her, Mother, I couldn't trust her, I couldn't believe her, I pushed her away, I'm a monster," I couldn't hold back the tears anymore, I let them flow freely down my cheeks soiling her dress."No, you are not a monster, this is not your fault Killian, you got caught up in the whole mess," she stroked my back soothingly."No Mom, she pleaded with me to believe her, sh
Killian's POV.I stirred gently in my sleep, wrapping my arms around the slender body lying beside me. I smiled as the flashback from our tender moment the previous night came rushing into my head.We made love again, it was the most beautiful thing, just like it had always been between us, her tender skin rubbed against mine, her soft moans, just like pure melody, filtered into my ears begging me not to stop as I thrust harder into her. I never thought I'd ever experience that again, I thought I lost her to the cold hands of death. I felt whole again, the unbearable pain and torture had flown off the window the moment I set my eyes on her. I couldn't believe she was really here, in my arms, her fingers digging into my skin as I thrust into her while she moved to meet my thrusts.She was really back, for good. And I'm keeping her forever. I'd be a fool to let her out of my sight ever again, not even for a second."I'm glad you are back to me," I mumbled wrapping my arms safely aro
Elena's POV.I stirred tiredly in my sleep, I was very much awake but couldn't bring myself to stand from the bed. Exactly the situation I've found myself over the past few days, I've been way too tired than normal. I doze off at every little chance I get and I eat a lot too.The few days I have spent at Greenwoods Pack have been unbelievably refreshing, more than I imagined it to turn out. My wounds were now healed up, all thanks to Helen, the healer, she never missed a day of treatment, aside that, she visited quite often to keep me company since I didn't know anyone yet.Alpha Darius as well, has been a strong pillar, he made sure I lacked nothing, he provided everything I needed to heal faster, making me wonder how someone could be so kind to a total stranger. I had disregarded Helen's words to me the day I opened my eyes at Greenwoods Pack testifying how much of a kind man he is, now I could totally agree to that, seeing how amazingly he treated me and the few times that I've s
Elena's POV.My heart did a double flip as Darius walked into the room. He had a warm smile on his face.I couldn't help but wonder if the smile would still remain intact after I've broken the news of my condition to him.Nonetheless, I had no choice left, Helen said he hated dishonest people and the last thing I wanted was for him to see me that way. I needed to tell him before he finds out. Pregnancy isn't something that could be hidden for a long time."Pleasant morning, Alpha Darius," I tried to smile through my tensed state."It's always good to see you, Elena," I tried to hide my blush but it was an epic fail. I couldn't stop grinning sheepishly. Darius is a charming man. He knew the right words to use at the perfect time. He reminded me so much about Killian despite how hard I tried to forget, Killian was my perfect lover but I guess not everything good comes to stay."Here, have this," he handed a package to me, he always did that whenever he came visiting. "Thank you," I dr
"Be careful, don't step on any hard surface," Darius cooed, his gaze carefully laid on me. He was taking me on a walk. The midwives suggested that I take long walks sometimes and Darius has taken it too seriously.I couldn't help but wonder how someone of his status would go out of his way to please someone like me. "Darius, I'm fine, I can clearly see my way," I groaned, rolling my eyes at him. "It's not helping that you see me as a vegetable."He bursted into laughter, shaking his head amusedly. "But you are my vegetable,"I gasped dramatically, feigning shock. "How dare you!" I growled, chasing after him.Darius and I have gotten so close over the past few days, and I have loosened up a great deal around him. Despite my firm resolve not to put my trust in anyone since Killian betrayed me, somehow I could feel myself getting really attached to him and he was gaining my trust as well. He's a good man and right now, I couldn't be more glad that his night watchers had saved me that
It's been few weeks since I lost Elena.I haven't stopped grieving even for second. Every move I made had her thoughts rushing into my head, I had no control over it anymore. I've decided to live everyday as it comes, life doesn't really mean much to me anymore. "Killian, I can't remember the last time you had breakfast with me?" I heard my mom's voice as she poked her head through my room door. "Mom, please," I mumbled turning away from her and turned toward the wall.I didn't hear her say another word, I concluded she has left already, only to feel a weight on my bed seconds later, I felt her lean closer and wrapped her arms around me. I melted to her touch, heaving out a deep sigh."I miss her so much," I mumbled trying so hard to hold back my tears. "I know, I really do, I saw how happy she made you," she whispered."It will be alright son," she stroked my back gently.We stayed that way for several minutes, I totally enjoyed the warmth her arms brought to my cold world."Yo
Elena's POV.Life at greenwoods pack keeps getting better each day. I was treated with so much care and everyone contributed in any way they could to make sure that I remained healthy even when Darius was out for meetings. Over the short time I've stayed here, I could tell one unique thing about them, they cared for each other greatly, and that I cherished so much. It is something Crescent Star Pack clearly lacks, if they actually looked out for each other, I wouldn't be in this mess. A loud rumbling of my stomach snapped me back to reality. I was starving. It was late in the night and the chefs, including the rest of the house workers have retired for the night, I actually ate to a pulp before they left but being a pregnant woman involves getting hungry the next minute after you've eaten. Was this what my mother went through to give birth to me? I would have treated her with much more love than I ever did, if she was here. This is not a manageable journey. I slowly climbed down t
Elena's POV."Look who's growing a big tummy," Darius teased as he walked into my room, beaming all smiles. I pouted dramatically, rolling my eyes at him. "I'm offended." Despite how hard I tried to put a smile on my face, there was a tiny voice at the back of my head reminding me of how soon everything would be out, Darius would discover that the child I was carrying belonged to Alpha Killian; the man that he despised with everything; the man that he was planning his death with utmost tempo.What becomes of me when he discovers the truth? I couldn't stop thinking.What if the discovery turns him into a monster and he harms my child and I? The thoughts kept eating me up as each day flew by. I knew damn well that war was brewing. "Elena!" I quickly snapped out of my chain of thoughts as I felt him tap me on the shoulder."Are you okay? I've been talking but you weren't responding," he pouted. I quickly fixed a smile on my face, trying to cover up my miserable state. "Oh uhm, I'm o
