"How was your walk with her?" Alpha Damian asked Killian.
"It was okay, she bought one or two things she loved," Alpha Damian heaved a sigh when he heard what Killian said to him.
Alpha Damian turned to look at Killian with the glass filled with red wine that he was holding.
"Why do you look like that?" Alpha Damian asked Killian when he noticed Killian looked worried.
"It's nothing serious, I think the girl is scared of someone or something, it's unclear to me though." Alpha Damian sat on the couch and gulped the wine.
"Have you settled the issue we have with the neighboring pack?" Killian was wondering why Alpha Damian snubbed the topic of Kimberly's fear.
"I was just talking about the stranger we have here, I cannot really explain it, but she appears to be very scared, as scared as you could ever imagine." Killian explains to Alpha Damian.
Alpha Damian turned to look at him and immediately Killian kept his mouth shut.
"This is my territory and no one has the power to threaten anyone under my watch." Alpha Damian said to Killian. Killian smiled and sat on the couch.
"The issue with the neighboring pack has been sorted, they gave us some lands as well." Killian smiled and dropped the glass of wine on the table.
"They know not to mess with me." They both laughed after Alpha Damian talked.
"Well return the land back to them." Killian was shocked to hear what Alpha Damian said. He was wondering why Alpha Damian would want to take such a decision.
"Why, those lands will be useful to us." Killian knew that Alpha Damian might have other plans but he still felt returning the land was not a good idea.
"We'll ask for something else." Killian was not sure of what Alpha Damian will ask for, but he knew it'll be something really useful to them.
"Why don't we just take both?" Alpha Damian smiled and turned to look at Killian.
"I see you've become very greedy." Killian smiled after hearing what Damian said.
"No we're not taking both, we'll ruin them if we do that." Killian was sure this time that what Alpha Damian is about to ask for is something that might actually bring down the ego of the neighboring pack.
"Next time they'll learn not to spread false news about you." Alpha Damian's smile faded as he remembered the false news they were spreading about him in the neighboring pack.
"Where is she?" Alpha Damian remembered he still has a guest in the pack.
"She should be in her room."
************
Kimberly looked around the room she was taken to. Two maids walked into the room and helped her remove her cloth, they took her to the bathtub and helped her with her bath.
Kimberly felt at home again, she was wondering why the Alpha is giving her such special treatment as a stranger.
When she was done she was surprised to see new clothes on the bed, they helped her pick one and dressed her.
"Thank you." Kimberly said to them and they both bowed before walking away. It felt unreal to Kimberly how she was nicely treated by the Alpha.
"They called him a beast but in reality, he is an angel." Kimberly said to herself and sat on the bed.
It's been a while since she had had a good night's rest, Kimberly lay on the bed and closed her eyes, while her eyes were closed she saw herself running and being chased by her uncle, tears Welled down her eyes while they were closed.
She hid somewhere when she was tired of running.
"Mommy." Kimberly cried out and opened her eyes.
"Calm down, it's Killian." Kimberly held her chest and was shivering.
"He wants to kill me." Killian was confused because there was no one in the room with her apart from him.
"No one Is going to kill you in the pack where Alpha Damian is the ruling." Kimberly was still panting and not convinced by what Killian said.
"He is after me, he promised he'll kill me," Killian was getting fed up with her constant disagreement with what he was saying to her.
"Just go back to bed now, I'll make sure the security around here is tighter." Killian said to Kimberly, she turned to look at him and he nodded his head.
Kimberly finally laid back on the bed, though she was still scared she decided to trust Killian.
************
The next morning.
Alpha Damian was already awake he stood up from the bed and walked to the bathroom. When he was done taking his bath he walked out and heard a knock on his door.
"Come in." He said to the person knocking. He noticed it was the Omega in charge of dressing him.
"Don't worry I'll dress myself today." He said to them as usual, they walked out of the room with their heads bowed. He has never allowed them to dress him, most of them felt it's because he Is a monster.
***********
Kimberly woke up and noticed it was already morning, she rubbed her eyes until she was able to see clearly.
She heard a knock on the door so she stood up to ho open the door.
"Good morning." Killian said to her the moment she opened the door. He walked Inside the room.
"How do you feel this morning." Killian asked her with a smile on his face.
"Better I guess," Kimberly replied to him and sat on the bed.
"Okay, I just wanted to make sure you're okay." Killian said to her and was about to walk out of the room.
"Why are you people treating me nicely?" Kimberly had to ask because she couldn't keep it in anymore.
"You are our guest and this is how we treat our guests." Killian walked out of the room and left Kimberly thinking about his reply.
"Their guest." Kimberly muttered to herself and turned to look at the door.
*************
"We need to do something about her fears." Killian said to Alpha Damian the moment he walked into his room.
"Have I not…"
"Last night, she was unable to sleep. She was shivering and her fears were very clear." Killian explained to Alpha Damian.
"Did she tell you who it is?" Alpha Damian asked Killian.
"No, she kept saying 'he’ without mentioning his name."
"Watch her closely, study everything, and give me the exact person that makes her so scared and why he has so much power to make her scared." Alpha Damian said to his Killian.
"Care to take a walk?" Killian opened the door and asked Kimberly. Kimberly was not expecting him especially when he didn't bother to knock before opening the door.Kimberly remembered how she felt the last time she took a walk with him, she felt bad but had to decline the request."I'm very tired I need to rest." Killian's facial expression changed, Kimberly noticed he was disappointed but there is nothing she can do about it. "I really need to get something from the market and it'll be boring going alone, you know I can't take the Alpha along with me even though he is the only friend I have here." Killian was trying to emotionally blackmail Kimberly to go take a walk with him.Kimberly felt bad because Killian and the Alpha have been nothing but nice to her and declining Killian's request might make her look ungrateful. Kimberly decided not to think too much about it and just accepted Killian's request to follow him to the market. She stood up from the bed and followed him.Killia
Killian signaled the spy closer to him to tell the others to return to base. Then he ran after Kimberly.“Why am I always so unlucky.” Kimberly cursed herself and squatted on the floor, she was too weak to continue running. She hit herself several times and sobbed.“Hitting yourself will change nothing you’re just going to hurt your skin.” Killian said to her while standing in front of her. Kimberly raised her head slowly and saw Killian.“What are you doing here?” Kimberly asked looking unhappy.“I’m here to take you back home.” “I have no home.” Kimberly replied almost immediately. A soft smile escaped Killian lips when he heard what Kimberly said.“Really?” Kimberly nodded her head.“Just leave me alone, after all you don’t believe me.” Killian realized from the way she was on the floor it’s obvious she’s too weak to continue running.“If you say so, I’ll go.” Kimberly looked around her and noticed there was no one there, she remembered Matt and his men. “You are so wicked, you’r
Fear gripped Kimberly the moment she sighted the knife very close to her neck.“If you move an inch I will not hesitate to slit your throat.” The man threatened. Kimberly was very scared but she tried not to let it show.“What do you want?” Kimberly asked him.“Keep your mouth shut and move.” Kimberly was too scared to raise her feet from the floor. “Do you know that I stay with Alpha Damian? He will not spare you if anything happens to me.” Kimberly tried to scare the man. But his character still felt indifferent meaning he doesn't care about what Alpha Damian will do to him. “And I know that he saved you from us.” The moment he said this Kimberly's eyes widened, she finally knew who sent him.“Alpha Matt sent you?” Kimberly asked the Assassin, this time her fear increased because she was sure Matt would not let her go. She closed her eyes and prayed Killian would come to save her, but there was no sign of Killian coming.“I will not entertain any more words from you so let's move.
Kimberly found herself crying the moment she saw it was Killian.“We want her, so just leave and we’ll not trouble you.” One of the masked men said to Killian. Killian smiled the moment he heard what the masked man said. “You’ll have to kill me before taking her away.” Killian said to the masked man. Matt was taken away by his Beta while the masked men walked closer to Killian. Killian drew out his sword from its cover and pointed it at tgen to start the fight. While he was fighting two masked men stayed near Kimberly to prevent her from escaping.Killian killed all the masked men until only those two were left. They were too scared to face him so they ran back to base. Killian put his sword back and bent down to apologize to Kimberly.“Don’t touch me!” Kimberly yelled at him angrily.“I never knew they would come after you.” Killian tried to convince her so that she’ll not be angry with him. Kimberly stood up and wiped her tears. “You promised you’ll not leave me there, but what
“The four of you will have to search the forest for the stranger girl (Kimberly). I'm sure you know what she looks like.” Killian asks the four spies he wants to send to the forest to look for Kimberly.“Yes sir.” They replied in unison. Killian nodded his head as they all walked out of the dark room. He picked up his sword and walked out of the darkroom as well.“I hope they find her.” He said to himself as he watched them leave the palace until they were out of sight.****************“Are you sure there will be a need for you to go?” Killian turned back the moment he heard Alpha Damian's voice.“Why? You're worried about me?” Killian asked Alpha Damian jokingly.“No, I'm not. I'm just thinking it'll be hard for me to get a person that'll take your place if you die now.” Killian gave Alpha Damian a strange look to show that he was displeased by what Alpha Damian said.“Is that the real reason?” Killian asks, still not convinced, that's the reason Alpha Damian is worried about him.“
“I was humiliated and called all sorts of names, some said I ate the babies In my womb, so we had no other option than to leave the pack.” Kimberly felt bad for the woman, she was wondering how the woman is still nice after what she had gone through.“I'm so sorry, you don't deserve what you went through.” Kimberly touched the lady's hand with a smile on her face.“Okay, the chat should be paused, let's eat.” The man said to them and they all laughed. When they were done eating the lady packed the plates away from the dining.“Who are you, and why were you in such thick forest all alone?” The lady's husband asked Kimberly. Kimberly smiled and turned to look at the man. The lady heard the question and noticed it was still hard for Kimberly to answer the question.“Hubby, she just got here, she is yet to recover from whatever led her to such a thick forest.” The man turned to look at his wife.“No, it's fine. You people saved me and it's right I tell you who I am and where I'm from.”
Kimberly was still thinking about who might be after her life when she heard a knock on the door, the knock made her snap out of her thoughts immediately. She stood up and opened the door, she was surprised to see the guest she had. He walked inside the room while looking around, then he sat on the bed. “Welcome back to the pack, How was your stay in the forest?” Kimberly knew he was only making jest of her for running stupidly the way she did. “I’m sorry for my childish actions.” Kimberly apologized immediately.“You don’t have to apologize.” Alpha Damian looked at her face carefully then he sensed there was something bothering her. Her eyes looked worried.“Is there something you are not telling me?” Kimberly’s eyes widened the moment she heard Alpha Damian.“No…I was just thinking about something.” Kimberly thought it’ll be better for her to keep whatever is bothering her to herself. “Okay it’s fine, I just came to see how my guest is doing and I’m glad you are doing great.” A
“Rose stop it, don’t you ever ask me such a question again, have you forgotten your place in this palace?” Kimberly spoke to her angrily. Rose regretted ever asking such a question. “I'm sorry, I never thought it'll annoy you to such an extent. I was only curious.” Rose explained with a remorseful look. Kimberly suddenly felt bad for yelling the way she did. “I'm sorry I yelled at you, but you know there are some things you don't say.” Rose smiled when she noticed Kimberly was no longer angry with her. “I promise not to ask such a question again,” Rose said to Kimberly and they both smiled while staring at each other.Kimberly's smile suddenly faded and it started making Rose wonder what happened. “What happened, are you okay?” Rose asked Kimberly, worried. “Yes of course I am,” Kimberly replied, still not smiling, it looked like something was bothering her.“But your expression screams differently from what you're saying.” Kimberly sighed the moment she heard what Rose said.“Hm
