Killian's POV

By the time I stepped into the hotel lounge with Liam at my side, she was already there, a glass of wine in front of her like it had been poured hours ago and she’d been waiting just to make a point.

Her back was straight, eyes fixed on the glass until she heard my steps. Then she looked up, lips curling the way they always did when she wanted to remind me she knew more than she should.

I checked my watch. Just a few seconds left before nine.

Without breaking her stare, I moved closer and slid into the chair opposite her. Liam followed, taking the seat beside me like he belonged there.

Her smile faltered for half a breath before she spoke. “I thought you said you wanted privacy, Killian. Why is Liam here?” Her voice was sweet on the surface, but the edge underneath was sharper than broken glass.

I leaned forward, folding my hands on the table. “That’s my brother.”

She gave a low laugh, the kind that carr

    Isla's POV I tried to keep myself from getting exploded by excitement, as we were about to step in, Killian locked his arms with mine and we entered. Stares, almost every influential person's eyes were on us. I stretched my ear trying to hear what they were saying. "Wow, is that Alpha Killian's lover? So beautiful!" I heard one of them say, probably an outsider. "And here comes the luckiest girl in the world." Another said. My ears blocked without my permission when I heard Arielle's voice, "This girl must have quite a charm to steal Alpha Killian's heart." I couldn't have misheard it, that was her voice. My eyes went red immediately, though I forced a smile to stay. Killian’s grip on my arm tightened, almost as if he sensed the shift in my chest. I dared not look in Arielle’s direction, though every nerve in my body screamed for me to. If I met her eyes now

    Killian's POV I lost count of the number of times Isla had laughed here, the sound spilling out as though she wanted the whole room to notice her presence. I blinked once, steadying myself, my gaze shifting toward Liam before landing back on her.“If I am a good listener,” she began, tilting her head slightly, “and if I understand things well, I think you used to mention something related to having hatred for Daphne?” Her tone was wrapped in mock curiosity, but the sharpness underneath was obvious. “With all might, Isla,” I answered, my voice flat, leaving no space for her to twist.Her lips parted as though she had caught me in some grand contradiction. “And now you want to go to a party hand in hand with her?” The words trembled just slightly.I could sense the jealousy lacing through that timid voice of hers, a quiet storm she tried to mask.“Calista would be around with her husband, that Lycan king,” I said, my jaw tightening as I leaned back. “I should satisfy her with this be

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Bride    Chapter 51

    Killian's POV I caught sight of Liam standing right at my entrance, almost like he’d been waiting long before I arrived. His posture gave him away, refusing to leave until he saw me. I stopped short, frowning.“What are you doing here, Liam?” I asked, my tone low but steady.He straightened, no hesitation in his reply. “Isla said you’re in despair. She begged me to try my best to make you smile.”For a second, I almost laughed at the ridiculousness of it. Instead, my lips curved into something faint, a smile, though it carried no real vibes. “You don’t have to worry. It’s just something small. Nothing worth your concern.”I stepped to move past him, but he caught my shoulder, holding me there. His grip wasn’t disrespectful, but firm enough to make his point.“Liam,” I said, my voice dropping an octave, “do you realize what you’re doing right now? You’re stopping your Alpha.”His eyes didn’t waver. “A

  • The Alpha's Forgotten Bride    Chapter 50

    Killian's POV I slumped into my chair, eyes fixed on the ceiling as if it held the answers to everything weighing me down. My head felt heavy, my body heavier. No matter what I tried to touch today, I knew it would come out wrong. I was too drained to even pretend otherwise.I found out Daphne had packed her things and moved into another office. I don’t even know who told her I was in a foul mood, but clearly the message reached her before I could. Well, that's better.A knock broke through my thoughts. I didn’t bother to answer. Before I could even tell whoever it was to get the hell out, the door swung open.She walked in like she owned the place. Isla.“What do you want from me, Isla?” I asked, trying to keep the fury out of my voice.She didn’t flinch. “Don’t take your pain out on me, Killian. Hold it together.”Something in me wanted to snap back, to tell her to mind her place, to shove every bruise
