Killian: I woke up to the sound of my alarm. A frown formed on my lips at the headache that I got before I rolled my eyes and turned to turn off the alarm. I knew that the house’s activity already started and that the maids were either cleaning or tending to their duties. The rest of the pack members were now getting ready for work, school, and universities. Either way, everyone was busy in their own way. The scent of Eleanor hit my nostrils, making me frown as the distinct smell of roses filled my nostrils. I knew that our garden was filled with them, but the last thing that I expected was to catch their scent within the walls of the house. I shook my head, not wanting to bother as I walked toward the bathroom. I was quick to freshen up and shower knowing that I had a long day ahead. Plus, there was also the fact that I needed to ensure that the wedding was through with and that the Italians were gone. The last thing that I needed right now was to bother dealing with them, and I

Killian: “Sergio Diaz, just the man that I was looking for.” I said, glaring at the man before shooting one of his bodyguards. The man’s body fell, hitting the ground as blood poured from his head. Vladimir did the same to the other one, watching as he fell to the ground, taking his last breath before Sergio had time to process what was going on. His eyes widened in surprise at my interruption, but he knew not to think of trying something stupid. If anything, he knew that I was the last person that he would want to mess with. And considering that he was doing something behind my back, he knew that I wasn’t here for a drink. “Killian Ivanov, to what do I owe the honor?” he asked, trying to give me the best smile that he could muster. He looked down at the man who was sitting on the desk. I could tell that this was the last thing that both men expected when they tried having this deal, but then again, the last thing that I would ever do was leave my grounds unsupervised. To say the

Killian: I frowned as a clench made me freeze as I stopped in front of the sink, washing the ointment from my hand. The fact that the woman lied to me annoyed me more than I thought that it would, and considering that she was mostly either flinching or weary about her every move that she made only made me grow a lot more curious. I knew that she was still in my room, clearly debating or processing my words for a few seconds before she walked out, and I sighed, letting out a low breath before taking my jacket off. I needed to instruct Liana about getting the blood off my clothes after the encounter with Sergio earlier today. The Bernardi family were clearly making it obvious that they were not leaving without causing a fuss, and not that I expected any less anyway. They were often ones to come and leave with a fuss or carnage. This time, I just hoped that things would have settled when the wedding ended. But now I had a missing bride to worry about. The thing was, I couldn’t rea

Killian: I frowned as I walked out of the bathroom, my chest aching as I shook my head, feeling my mate. I took a deep breath as I tried processing how the fuck that happened before my phone rang, breaking me out of my thoughts. I opened the closet to pick out my suit and I couldn’t help but feel somewhat amazed that Eleanor managed to finish all of them yesterday. Usually the girls would take a while and I would find a few missing. Now, all of them were ready and done. “Boss,” “What’s going on, Vladimir?” I asked, knowing that he wouldn’t be calling me this early in the morning unless it was important. “I just finished the search that you asked me to do about the new girl, Eleanor.” He said, and I hummed in response as I waited for what he was going to tell me. I put him on speaker as I got ready for us to go to the office. “There is no Eleanor De Luca, boss.” He said, and I frowned. The fact that a feeling told me that she was lying was something that I couldn’t ignore, but

Killian: “Let me get this straight, you are assigning me to clean your suite alongside Eleanor?” Natasha asked and I nodded, raising an eyebrow at her. “Don’t I do enough around the house already?” “All you do is sit on your phone alongside your mom while everyone else works.” I said, raising an amused eyebrow at the woman. Natasha was the one person that I never forced to do anything around the house. Her working in the house was not something that I liked to begin with, but I knew that it was because Liana wanted her to stay here after she completed her university, not wanting her to go and work for someone, not that I was going to allow her to do so anyway. And I didn’t mind, I loved her being around us, and the last thing that I was going to do was say something that annoyed or hurt Liana. “Excuse me, I do my nails and tend to my own business. Plus, mama often has me helping her.” She said, “Once every blue moon, and that is when she has too much on her hands.” I said, and she
