Alpha Killian POV:
I inwardly curse in anger as I watch my daughter’s shocked face the moment she lays eyes on my prisoner. Kendra was not supposed to know a thing, I don’t want my precious girl to think the worse about her father, I want her to stay oblivious to my habits for she might start to suspect that I’m capable of other stuff too.
Fuck!
What a fucking bad timing!
“What is this, father?” Her bottom lip is trembling and she stares at me, fear shining in her filled with tears eyes.
I take a step towards her, but she takes a step back. “Don’t!” She raises her hand motioning me to stop. “Explain first why she is here!”
I breathe deep to keep my composure, I am not used to be ordered around, especially in front of my people, but I will make an exception today, as she seems already shocked and hurt.
I signal Sandra and Nexus to leave us alone, and they do it without
Oliver POV: “Why do you need Jasper too?” My brother suddenly asks pointing to the witch boy. “Can’t you see that he’s scared? I know that you call the shots, but I can’t see how he can help us.” I glance at the shy boy standing in front of me, making holes in the floor with his eyes, too scared to look at me and I almost change my mind. No, he needs to come with us, it’s for his own benefit. I took pity on him due to his family story. I don’t know what happened to me, I’m all soft since Kylie disappeared. It’s probably because I have experienced how is to lose someone, not knowing your loved one whereabouts is gruesome and nobody should go through it. I suddenly feel a sharp pull in my heart at this thought, my blood is boiling with rage, those motherfuckers will pay! Focus, Oliver! “It’s not how he can help up, but how we can help him.” I clarify. “Because it got me thinking what he said about his family, that they were ensl
Kylie POV:I am stunned to immobility, fear coursing through my veins, my body shaking to the bones, yet my savior acts before I could even blink.He grabs one of the guards by the neck, leaving him unconscious. After he does the same with the other one, he drags both passed out guards and hides them behind a bush, out of the view.Adrenaline is kicking in, I am moving again, this time with more speed, following closely behind the man that risks his life in protecting me.“We need to get behind that wall.” He urges, gripping my hands.I shake my head in understanding, yet another guard comes our way, air leaves my lungs again when his head is separated from the rest of his body.“W-why did you kill him?” I stutter, my entire figure trembling violently from the shock.He covers my mouth with his hand to silence me, releasing it after confirming that I will keep it shut.“It was either him or us.&rdq
Oliver POV:I have a weird feeling for some reason, though Killian appeared to be very calm and he cooperated exactly like I expected, I can’t get rid of the idea that he is hiding something.Or someone.It’s that fucking odd sensation when you can’t exactly pinpoint the trigger, you just know in your gut that something is wrong.“Did you sense your family?” I question the witch boy as soon as I got out of the mansion.Jasper looked aside “No.” He forced it down the throat, his entire figure emitting sadness.Poor kid. I really hoped that we will find some clues here, seems that I might have been wrong. No, most likely I underestimated my so-called ally, a mistake I’ll never repeat.“That doesn’t mean that we won’t find them.” I press his shoulder, making him flinch in surprise.“Really? Will you help me find them?” I spot a glint of ho
Oliver POV: We followed the elite soldiers from a safe distance, me and my brother. I’ve sent Jasper home as he did not have the necessary training for this kind of operation. Up until now, they had no luck with their search, which gives me mixed feelings. We are sure that Killian had Kylie and that somehow she escaped, though I cannot imagine how she could have pulled it alone. She must have had some help. As I cannot track her scent due to some powerful concealing spell Sandra casted on her, I was hoping that they had some clues that would lead me to my mate. So I dare to say that part of me hoped that they would have been successful in their hunt, though the other part of me would never want to watch her trapped again. Fuck! It’s messing with my fucking brain, this entire situation, it’s clouding my judgement, making me desperate. It’s been fucking hours since we are lurking in the shadows and I feel tired and enrag
Kylie POV:Finally, I’m in his arms, the place I feel I belong to. It may sound cheesy and I may not know much about the infamous mate bond, but I definitively feel like he was made for me as I was made for him. He completes me, and for the love of God, I thought that I will never be able to see him again, to bury my head in his chest and inhale his flagrance, to melt my lips against his, that dire thought almost drove me crazy.I could not believe how my heart reacted when I’ve heard his agonizing voice echoing through the forest, while shouting my name. Excruciating pain started shooting through my body, making it hard to breath, and I had to get to him, I had to find him, my life depended on it.My eyes started to scan the area frantically for Oliver, and as I could not see him, I followed the sound, leaving my savior behind. I believed that he would follow me, yet he didn’t.Why didn’t he?I wanted to thank him, I wanted
Kylie POV: Warm fuzzy feelings are spreading through my body, I feel like I am high on drugs and it’s the best sensation in the world, it makes me go outside and scream of immeasurable happiness. I cannot believe what I’ve just heard, it came as a shock to me, to say the least. Truth be told, I’m afraid that I’ve misheard everything. Or is this just a sweet heavenly dream from which I might wake up? This thought sends some chills down my spine. He gently cups my face into his hands. “What’s wrong? Was it my sudden confession?” His eyes conflicted, his cheeks a little flushed. Flushed? A tear is rolling down my face without me registering it until he wipes it. “Are you crying?” He pulls the back of my neck and tenderly presses my head against his chest, I listen to his erratic heartbeats. “You don’t have to answer, baby! I understand. It’s my first time too, saying these words. They just came out without me thinking twice. I did
Melora POV:A human.A damn human girl.Part of me hoped that everything I have heard at Kade CORP regarding my son Oliver and a mere human girl was nonsense, even if Kendra backed up all that gossip. Yet another part of me sensed that my son, my own son, was hiding important things from me, ever since I’ve returned.Rage is gushing through my veins thinking about everything I had to endure to keep this pack strong after my husband’s death. I didn’t even get the chance to mourn, I had to straighten up and get in the arena.So does Oliver think that because he is the Alpha, he has right to ruin everything I’ve built on blood and tears? No, sir!I will never allow it.NEVER.And is she really his mate? Or just a gold digger that found a way to trap him in her spells?Even if she were to be his mate, what can she know about packs? Nothing.How would she contribute to the pack’s wellbeing
Oliver POV:I have no fucking appetite, I can cut the tension in the room with a knife, for what it counts. My mother is not sparing a glance my way, she is focused on finishing her food while my mind is racing with dire scenarios, one more horrendous than the other.She knows that she has the upper hand in this, the Council is her baby, she rules upon it with an iron hand and she is used to get things done her way.“Tell me that she isn’t your mate!” She demands finally breaking the uncomfortable silence, setting aside the cutlery.“That wouldn’t change the fact that she is.” I confess confronting her. “Or that you can’t do anything about it.” I growl.She dissolves into a dark laughter, making me wonder when did she become this person I see in front of me right now. For as sure as hell she wasn’t always like this. I should have paid more attention to her after my father’s death. Th
