Alpha Killian was quick to return after Maria had left. After much convincing, he unhooked me from the hospital machines that were nestled between my bed and the bedside table. I told him that we both needed to eat. I knew I wouldn't be left alone for quite some time, so I wasn't surprised that he followed me downstairs and into the kitchen. Alpha Killian began pulling some ingredients out to make pasta, but I stopped him. "Killian." I frowned, placing a hand on his arm without even thinking. He skillfully hid the surprise from his face, but I could practically feel it radiating off of him. The fam

My nerves hit somewhere around the six or seventh step. My gut was churning and I scolded myself for acting this way. I was about to waltz into Killian's office and practically test his willpower."No backing down now." Sierra smirked at my cowardly behavior.I took a few deep breaths to settle my nerves. The last thing I needed was to be a sweaty, blundering mess when I knocked on his door.Killian's office door was easy to spot. It was the only double door in the house and had a golden plaque with his name etched on it.I knocked on his door hesitantly, and almost ran away when I heard his voice."Come in." His husky voice gave me a chill.I opened the door and flushed when I noticed he wasn't alone.Killian sat at a huge oak desk looking amazing as ever. His hair was tousled, and he wore a black button down shirt. The sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and the top two buttons of the shirt wer

I was practically on cloud nine. Sure I squirmed under all of the eager eyes, but I felt like I finally had a place in the midst of everything.Of course, when you're feeling your best something has to come along and try to ruin that.I strayed from Killian's side for the first time since we arrived at the party, looking for Kira and also something to drink.I found what I was looking for at a table twenty feet away from where Killian stood. I couldn't make out his features any longer due to the volume of people mingling.I grabbed a pepsi for myself and sipped contently. My train of thought was broken when an absolutely gorgeous blonde woman approached me. Female werewolves all seem to look like supermodels. All werewolves are naturally fit from training, but each of them radiated with their own beauty.This woman was no exception. She had that perfect hourglass figure followed by defined cheek bones and full lips.S

Weeks passed by after the night we all went to the club.I began my duties as Luna and found that I really enjoyed them. I hadn't had anymore trouble in the pack after Rachel, but I also hadn't seen her since the incident. Everyone in the pack was quick to accept me, and I found myself wondering why I was so against being Luna in the first place.After the night club incident, I immediately began training. Killian insisted I at least learn how to defend myself, and also insisted I stop using my teeth as my main defense mechanism. While I was much smaller than the rest of the she-wolves, I was much faster and could maneuver easier. Killian would train me personally in the afternoons, and I had never met someone more skilled than him. Killian was absolutely lethal in a fight, and I stood no chance against him.Killian kept me updated on the situation regarding Blake, even if he didn't want to give me the gory details. I took my responsibilities as Luna

Killian had driven the two of us back to the house, and all was quiet until we reached our bedroom. Before either of us could change, I pulled Killian close to me and said the words I had been waiting all night for."I can't thank you enough for this. No one has ever done so much for me." I sighed, hoping he could understand just a fraction of what I felt."You deserve so much more, Claire." His smile was soft and sweet, and yet again I was thankful that I got to see that side of him."I just-" I stopped, taking a deep breath. I let the words I had been wanting to say slip through my lips, damn the consequences."I love you, Killian." My voice came out soft, but i had never been more sure of anything. I could feel his shock radiate through my body, and the absolute joy that accompanied it.And before I knew it, I was swept away. Killian lifted me from the floor and had me against the wall. I wrapped my legs around his waist and
