Killian's point of viewI was standing at the entrance of the underground cave in the castle, my eyes gazing gently upward. I watched as the sun was so eager to switch places with the moon. Darkness had already made its arrival known, informing every member of the Crescent North Pack of the mayhem and danger that awaited us soon enough.After my morning training with Sheila, I went to the training field to train with some warriors. I could feel everyone's anxiety for tonight. Some had started to prepare, while the younger wolves were training harder.It broke my heart to see my people in this state. I couldn't concentrate on anything, and I had intentionally avoided going into my office. I knew Sheila would be there. I didn't trust myself not to do something that I'd end up regretting. Just yesterday I almost lost it and almost marked her. If Morgan hadn't stepped in just in time and pulled me out of that insanity, I would have involved Sheila in all of this mess, and being a part of

Sheila's point of viewI was so restless. My legs kept pacing back and forth across the floor of my chamber. I couldn't sit still. Hell, there was no way I could even fall asleep. The loud growls and howling penetrated through the wall of my chamber. At every painful howl, I felt pain, as if something in my chest was being ripped out.I had no idea what was going on out there, but with how Morgan's broken gaze held so much pain and fear, it was something really dangerous. My heart kept on racing, thinking about Killian. Somehow, I felt as though those thundering growls were his. It was like he was in some kind of pain. They sounded so desperate, almost like a broken cry for help.My legs collapsed on the humid floor at the thought of Killian in pain. God, I need to get to him.I needed to see Killian so desperately. My legs charged with unrecognizable energy, and I was up on my feet. When I left my chamber, there wasn't a single soul in the castle. I left the castle walls, moving into

Killian's point of viewI felt a warm feeling on my lips as intense sparks kindled within me. Slowly, my eyes pushed open, and the first thing they found was Sheila's face, inches away from mine. Her warm, slender hands were over me.She pulled her eyes open and they connected with mine.Her eyes went round, her lips stole a smile. "Killian," she called softly, and I looked around to realize we were in my chamber.How did I get here?I couldn't remember anything from the time I was in the cave with Thea.My eyes broadened, recalling the demon took control over me, but everything after that I couldn't remember.The door squeaked open, Morgan came in, and beside him was Allen. Thea raced through the door, and in seconds she was in my arms."Killian I'm so happy you're fine." Thea's tear-stained face pulled closer to mine, and she kissed me right in front of my mate. From the corner of my eyes, I noticed Sheila become still, before exiting the room.My eyes drifted to my brother and Alle

Sheila’s point of view"The pack is under another attack." Killian was quick to speak, his eyes holding a cautious fear. "It's the Dark Circle. They are here for the stone.""The stone?" I repeated, my eyes traveling to the witches. I didn't know every detail of it, but I'm aware the Dark Circle is desperate to have the phoenix stone. They want all four for some reason, and so far they only have two.Killian's tingling touch on my skin pulled my attention to him. "Stay here with the witches, Sheila. I will send some warriors here."Subconsciously, I nodded, watching Killian leave with Brielle.I moved closer to the witches' courtyard. I had to warn them that the pack had already been invaded by the Dark Circle army and they were after the stone.Their chants had already reached the sky, and the flames around them blazed deadlier.Valerie held the white orb in her palm. At every chant she muttered, the orb glowed a blinding shade of white light, its brilliant light swallowing Valerie's

Killian's point of viewThe piercing scream caused the earth beneath me to rumble, and a blinding blue light covered the darkness, impeding the moon from witnessing anything. I couldn't see a damn thing.The earth around me was doused with an unfamiliar energy. It was so powerful that it forced me to shift from my wolf form to my human form.The loud screams lasted longer, agitating the calm air as it turned wild, aiming at anything or, better yet, anyone in its path. The earth shook and the blinding light continued as the scream intensified.After many long seconds, the earth's vibration stopped, and blue light vanished from the darkness, giving the moon access to the earth. I scanned around, but there was no sign of my mate, Sheila.Ryker was getting anxious. And his anxiousness was making me furious and impatient.I raced to where the wolves had gathered around a pillar. My heart jammed with an unrecognizable fear. To my horror and soon confusion, they were all dead. Every fucking
