Elena's POV.I slowly opened my eyes blearily and found myself lying on a bed in the pack's clinic. The strong smell of herbs and medicines slipped into my nose.A low moan escaped my lips as I struggled to sit up, the memories of the events of the previous day came rushing back to my head in a heavy rush.Everything around me seemed to appear blurry, I blinked repeatedly to clear the fuzzy feeling in my head.I couldn't also ignore the sore pain hitting my chest, it was a clear reminder of my foolish, yet brave move yesterday. The pain from the deep cut nuzzled at me forcing a low moan out of my mouth. Nonetheless, I was grateful for the pain as it served as a subtle reminder that I wasn't dead.The door suddenly creaked open and I snapped my head in the direction just to see him walking in hastily, my destined mate that I would do anything for. Killian Dimitri.He appeared as though he has been crying following how puffy and sore his eyes were.He looked like a total mess, his cloth
Elena's POV.With panic blowing terribly at the tip of my stomach, I quickly sat up on the bed and tried to push myself to my feet.An agonizing pang of pain struck my chest, knocking me back down to the bed.After several more attempts to leave the bed and falling right back to my previous position wailing in agony and pain, I surrendered to my helpless situation and fell back to the bed, streams of tears rolled down my cheeks.If Killian found out about this from Darius, things would never remain the same again.As I lay helplessly on the bed, my heart pounded drastically, different thoughts ran through my head. What would be my faith with Killian if the truth finally came out? How would he look at me? Will he yet again, banish me from the pack, and this time, demand that I never return?My heart almost jumped right out of my chest as the door roughly creaked open and Killian walked in. Once my gaze landed on his face, I knew my worst fears had manifested.He had a huge frown smeare
Elena's POV.I swallowed hard, my head a combination of confusion and chaos.How could I possibly tell him that I lived with Darius all through the years that I was banished? That I had accepted to be his mate? That I was attracted to him at some point?But then again, as much as I couldn't give him the entire details, I was determined to be clear with him as much as I can as well."Answer me!" He roared and I recoiled back on the bed in fright.Tiny droplets of tears were beginning to well up in my eyes knowing that I turned him into this raging monster. I couldn't afford to look into his eyes for longer than two seconds afraid that I would get burnt by the flaming blaze emitting from his eyes. His jaw clenched tightly, his body muscles a tensed mess, and his fisted palm quivered uncontrollably, I was afraid the nails of his fingers were beginning to dig into his skin but he seemed to care less.I could tell that he was trying desperately to get his emotions under control but he was
Elena's POV.No! There was no way I would let him do all those horrible things to Darius.Not that he didn't deserve it, he was on the wrong path, he deliberately ruined our plans and handed us over to Killian despite forcing me to leave with him and turn my back on Killian.But he has done more for me, he has been the absolute blessing to me, I couldn't imagine what would have happened to me if he hadn't found me that night, he took me in even without knowing anything about me, he cared for me and made me see his pack as my home. He did everything to put a smile on my face. He might not be the one I love but he was dear to me.Even if Darius has been going the wrong way these past weeks, he was worthy of my forgiveness and that of Killians. He was in this mess in the first place because of me no matter the other reasons he might have for his actions.Without stopping to care that I was barefooted, and in terrible pain, I ran after Killian.Tears streamed down my cheeks as I ran behi
Killian's POV.I stood frozen on the spot repeating her exact same words like a clown, the bomb she had dropped on me was terribly creating a tense havoc in my head.The tension in the air could be slashed easily with a blunt butter knife.Such news was the last thing I expected to hear from her, when she demanded to speak to me, I thought she wanted to cook up a lie to get me to spare Darius's life.This looked nothing like a lie, I could see through her eyes that she was telling the truth. She was really pregnant that night that I had banished her.She was carrying my children, and yet, I turned my back on her and casted her away into the evil claws of the outside world."They are Hero and Athena, Hero is the absolute mini you, he has your eyes and your hair, Athena is all about me but she has your eyes too, they are the most adorable pair of twins to behold, they became my reason to strive and survive, they brought me hope and put a smile on my face, but most of all, Darius took ca
Killian's POV.I felt a strong wave of anger surge through me. If I could lay my hands on Aragorn right now, I'd brutally slaughter every bit of his body parts and feed it to the birds of the air.He had abducted my kids and was using them as a means to manipulate my mate into killing me. And thinking about it right now, this isn't entirely about killing me, he wanted to make Elena suffer as well. He was aimed at getting her traumatized for being responsible for the death of her mate."I thought I had gotten over you, and it would hasten the process, but I fell madly in love with you over and over, the moment I set my eyes on you again," Elena sobbed bitterly."Believe me, I wasn't going to do it, I had already made up my mind to find another solution to it, Killian, please you have to believe me," her eyes were filled with bare truthfulness as she spoke."And Darius? You can't say the same for him," I retorted."Darius was only carrying out the plan to save me and the children from
Killian's POV.I felt my heart begin to painfully rip apart as his words hit me hard across the ear.True to his words, the cut at Elena's back had somehow reopened and was oozing droplets of blood nonstop.Tears welled up in my eyes as I watched her heart thump heavily, it was obvious she was trying to fight it, but the pain was overwhelming her."Well, what could be the cause of it?" My voice was laced with a severe string of bitterness and frustration as I spoke."Like I said, you shouldn't have let her leave the ward, she has stressed out the wound and it's taking a toll on her," she replied.I couldn't hold back the loud hiss that escaped my mouth. It was all my fault. If only I had set my anger aside and let her recover fully before confronting her, this wouldn't have happened.I won't forgive myself if anything happens to her."Well, don't stand there doing nothing, there must be something you can do, and fast too," I yelled. "This is the best that I can do," she said, walking
Killian's POV."Is it true?" My mother suddenly blocked me through a corner immediately I walked into the house.I hadn't intended to leave Elena but I needed to take care of things, it was high time I put an end to Aragorn and restore her happiness as well as mine but rescuing our children. It would have been long solved if she had spoken up earlier but all the same, I was willing to show her a true indication of why she should trust me."Is it true that Elena was here on a mission to kill you?" She spoke up again."Mother...""And she's having an affair with the Alpha of Greenwoods pack?" She cut me in abruptly."Wait what? Who fed you this information?" I chuckled amusedly."Elena took a death stab for me, she risked her life to save mine, does that portray the characteristics of someone who wants me dead?" I queried.I watched as her eyelids twitched in confusion. "But Aria reported to me that Elena tried to kill you with the help of her lover, Darius?" "Oh Aria never gets tired
