Kylie POV:
Her outrageous words are resounding in my mind, lashing through my body like poison, consuming my soul. I almost feel the need to throw up.
Tears are pricking my eyes but as sure as hell I won’t let them fall on my cheeks, not in front of her. No, she would love that. She would enjoy watching me suffer and I’m not going to give her that satisfaction.
God, I have never been so angry in my entire life!
“I’m sorry, I did not shock you, did I? It was not my intention.” She breaks the uncomfortable silence, shifting her position in the chair in a manner which shows that she is anxious to hear what I have to say.
Fuck, she is testing the waters, waiting for me to walk into the trap.
My guts is acting up, it might be dangerous to repeat what Oliver told me. To her or to anybody else.
I would not have confided in Kendra anyway, not in a million years, I cannot believe her audacity to believe that I would.

To my beautiful readers, I want to thank you for all your amazing support, and I also want to apologize for the late update. I don't want to get into details, but I have some problems in the family. I hope you liked the chapter, please leave a review if you enjoy the story! Lots of love, Lana
Oliver POV:She knows that something is wrong because I don’t act as my usual self. The old Oliver would have made her shiver with a simple, yet lethal glare, but the fear for Kylie’s safety is making me soft and Kendra can notice the difference, we know each other since we were very young, almost pups.I should fucking get my act together, is the only way to keep my mate safe, I need to protect her at all costs. Images from when she was attacked by the demon wolves pop into my mind, making my body fuming with rage and even terror, never again should something like that happen.If my enemies were to find out about our real connection, she would be a walking target, she would be perceived as my weakness, one that can be explored. Her life would be threatened.No, no, no, no. I brush the thought out of my head.I force Kendra’s hand down from my chest, this will briefly leave a bruise on her skin, but she will get over it.&l
Kylie POV:Caught red handed. My pulse is still racing and my breathing is erratic, I feel my body burning with shame, an apologetic look is plastered over our intruder’s face.What has gotten into me to act this way at my workplace? It’s as if I cannot control myself anymore, all that matters to me is Oliver, everything else can as well go to hell. My treacherous body has a new owner, and that owner is him.The moment those soul sucking eyes stare at me, my composure crumbles to pieces, I forget about manners, and an insatiable need is taking over my body, clouding my judgement, as if I were possessed.The idea of someone having this amount of power over me is both terrifying and exciting at the same time, I do not know how to feel about it.I have always tried to keep my vulnerable side to myself, to quietly tend to my wounds and suffer in silence, but all of a sudden, I feel this need to be protected by him, to be ca
Oliver POV: Yes, I do, I do know. There is no greatest danger for her than my mother and the Council of Elders that she rules upon. I thought I had more time to come out with a plan to keep my mate safe, my mother was supposed to travel a little longer. Why is she coming back so soon? There is no way she had solved everything on her agenda. No doubt, someone made her change her mind. And I suspect whom exactly the culprit might be. Kendra. Though she knows that I won’t be shaken by my mother’s desire to get the two of us together, she is also aware that my mother poses a threat to Kylie’s safety. The moment she will find out that a mere human is my mate, that’s the exact moment my destined one’s life will be in peril. If she did not get the message already. She was not always like this, in fact she used to be the gentlest and kind hearted woman in the world, or this is the way I saw her. After my fat
Kylie POV:I followed the two men Oliver sent to a black SUV, I climbed on the back seat. I thanked all saints the moment I saw the car’s tinted windows, being grateful for the shield against prying eyes.After what it seemed like an eternity, the car pulled over. The drive was excruciating quiet, neither of the men spoke to me or even to one another all the way here.And boy that did not help at all with the weird feeling I am having since I left with them, my instincts kept screaming to run, in fact they still do, but I guess that is because they seem so stern.They never said where they are taking me, nor did I ask, seeing how they like to drive in silence.I did catch some glance exchange between the two of them, they seemed trained to understand each other without using a single word.Oh... can it be...?No, Kylie, snap out of it! How can they hear each other’s thoughts? At this point, you are becoming delusional.
Oliver POV: My heart is threatening to explode, every moment spent without knowing who has my mate is excruciating painful for both me and my wolf. Not knowing that she is safe is killing me inside, my pulse is racing at an unprecedented rate, all my senses are on high alert. Breathing becomes more demanding with every second that passes. I take another glance at my mother, if she took her, she is not going to give away anything. I mutter a string of curses and without thinking twice, I start roaming around, searching every place, starting with the garden and working my way to the pack house. I inspect every room, one by one, asking every person I encounter about her, gaining weird glances because of my obvious despair. Of course, they think I do not notice, but I could not care less about their peculiar regards right now, my priority is Kylie, my wolf is crying inside, making me even more miserable, and I did not think that was possible. Afte
Alpha Killian POV: I stare at my beautiful daughter, a spitting image of her mother, her eyes seem conflicted. Could she-? No, no way. There is no way she could have spotted that girl, the room was built with a sole purpose in mind, to hide something, or someone. By no means one from outside can look inside or hear noises from inside, simple as that. I relax my body in the chair. “What can I do for you, my precious?” “Father, I think I have a vital information for you, it’s about Oliver.” She declares pressing her lips together in anger. I can already tell what she is trying to confess, but I am planning to act surprised. “I believe that he has found his mate.” She utters gravely. “Oh! Why do you say that? Are you sure?” “Not one hundred per cent, but pretty sure.” She pauses taking a big breath before continuing. “And the worse part, the unimaginable part, is that she’s a pathetic human girl.”
Oliver POV: Images with Kylie are invading my mind making my body numb, I wish I could hold her in my arms, I wish I could stare into her bewitching eyes. It seems like an eternity passed since I saw her last time, I need to breath in her delicate honey and almond, I need it as if my life depends on it, as if her scent is my oxygen. “Stay in the car!” I demand Mark after parking in front of Kendra’s residence, he was just about to get out. “Fine.” He raises his hands in surrender after closing the passenger door, I can spot a hint of sympathy in his eyes. I take a deep breath to calm down before knocking on her door, this time I will be more fucking careful than I was with my mother, if I won’t feel Kylie’s scent, I’ll leave without giving away the reason I came in the first place. “Please enter, Mister Kade!” The maid greets me. “I’ll let Miss Kendra know that you are here. I’m sure she will be with you in a few minutes.” “Thank you!”
Kylie POV: My pulse on overdrive, my heart threatening to escape my chest, the poor organ went through a lot these last days. Air leaves my lungs as a man with a black cloth covering his head is entering the room, only his eyes are visible through his disguise. All inside me wishes this man to be Oliver, yet the moment my eyes lock with a pair of green ones I feel a sharp pain in my heart. This man is not Oliver. The stabbing pain of disappointment is quickly replaced by raw genuine fear, with a hint of shock. Is he here to kill me? I take a few steps back to put more distance between us, I flinch as my back hits a wall, my eyes searching frantically for an object that I can use to defend myself. He inches near until he is right in front of me, my eyes shut close when he takes his backpack and opens it. “I don’t have much time until Alpha comes, here, take this.” He urges on a throaty voice.
