Killian's point of viewGosh. These hours have been the longest hours of my life.I have been waiting outside Sheila's chamber for only the goddess knows how long. My wolf was pacing around, panicking. He was agitated. He wanted to see our mate, to see her awake and out of pain. To have those beautiful eyes of hers stare back at me.I groaned in frustration. Grabbing a handful of my hair in my hands, I felt like dying, knowing something bad could happen to her. She shouldn't have to go through any of this. I wish I could save her from the pain she was going through.I felt rage and impatience mixing with the frustration entrenched in my bones. But I had to be calm. I couldn't afford to lose control. Sheila needed me to be sane when she awakes.I took a deep, and calm breath, hearing Morgan's voice through the mind link. The warriors had cleaned up the disgusting remnants of the Dark Circle army within the pack. Even the witches also helped in fixing the damage around the pack, tending

Third-person point of viewKillian huffed out some air. He looked around to find himself back in Sheila's chamber."Did it work?" Morgan drew closer to the bed.As his eyes fell on Sheila's unconscious state, Killian felt her body, and it was not as cold as it was minutes ago. She was breathing normally now, and her heartbeat pounded against her chest at a normal speed.A smile found his lips; she was back but still sleeping. Killian nodded.One by one, the witches left Sheila's chamber, leaving just him, Morgan, and Valerie."She will soon be awake," Valerie's voice sounded, as she moved to the door.Killian smiled. "Thank you."Soon she left with Morgan, and Killian was alone with his mate. He couldn't leave her side yet, not until she wakes up.***He stirred on the bed, feeling movements beneath him. Killian opened his eyes. He didn't know when he fell asleep or how long he had been out. The sudden darkness around him did well to inform him that it was twilight already.Killian he

Killian's point of viewI couldn't understand why I felt so uneasy. My mind constantly kept going straight back to Sheila.I made sure Mason went with her to ensure there wouldn't be any problems on the way. Mason was one of the best protectors in the pack, and I trusted him with my life. He was a loyal friend and wouldn't hesitate to give his life for me. And I expected that same loyalty towards Sheila.I knew she would do just fine with the meeting at the Diamond pack. Sheila's one hell of a strong woman, and she has good leadership qualities. I was so proud of her.I knew she was safe with both Mason and Brielle, but I couldn't stop the nagging of my wolf, Ryker. It was as though he sensed she was in danger. and wanted me next to her desperately.I couldn't tell if he was serious or just wanted me away from Thea and next to my mate, Sheila.I want the same right now. Fuck. I should have gone with her. Rage and annoyance began pumping through my veins as I realized bitterly that I d

Killian's point of viewSheila and I followed the path through the woods, making as little noise as possible. We kept covering our tracks, putting distance between the wolves hunting for us. It was almost dawn, and we have been walking for hours in the darkness, moving back to North Central. If the Fire Crest Pack was still after us and planned to make another attack, we would have had an advantage within our territory. I couldn't mind link the pack yet. Ryker was still so weak that he could barely make a connection, or even speak.My eyes glanced at Sheila. She was a few feet away from me. She hadn't said a word to me. Even when I tried speaking to her, what I received was a silent treatment.I am well aware that I fucked up. I should have journeyed ahead with her. If I had, none of this would have happened.As we moved, we came across a river in the woods. We were still far from the capital, but if we kept walking we would be much closer.We stopped by the river. Sheila went ahead a

Sheila's point of viewThe sensual tension in the air prickled between us as Killian's eyes went over my body, again and again. I couldn't hide the satisfaction that was rooted in my smile at his tumult. At least he knows exactly the kind of torture he subjects me to. Adie's presence was within me, encouraging me the more.His gaze hungrily swept through me. He was losing what little control he had over himself. I smiled to myself. Good. I was fucking sick of being the one clinging to Killian when he felt the mate bond as much as I did. It wasn't fair that I was the only one subjected to the pain of the mate bond. I was his pack's Luna as well as his mate, and I was tired of being mistreated. I swear to the goddess that I will be treated with respect, and Killian would beg for my love. By the looks of things, I didn't need to do much.Killian's eyes turned almost black with desire, lust, and need. He was completely still on the bed. It felt as if the sight before him had paralyzed him
