Killian: “I am going to ask you this question once, Daria, and I expect an answer,” I said, holding the woman against the wall as she glared at me. “What the fuck are you doing here?” The fact that she was here right now was a risk itself, and though I knew that she was the one person who was well aware of the entrances and exits of the Estate, I couldn’t help but wonder how she got in here and when she did. The idea of Eleanor finding out about her in my room was not something that I wanted. It wasn’t the fact that I was doing something wrong, but it was the fact that I didn’t want to push her away by letting her think that I might have someone in my life when I wanted nothing more than to be with her and her alone. However, at this point, that was something that I had to think of later. What mattered now was the main motive behind what this woman was up to, and judging by her expression, I could tell that she wasn’t here for a shot of vodka. “I heard that you have a woman over, a

Killian: “I will take over things right now, boss.” Inna said, and I nodded. “Let me know if you get anything, and if she chooses to give you a hard time, use your methods.” I said, looking at Inna who nodded. “And I want her alive when I am back. Only when she starts begging for it would we be punishing her for killing my men the way that she did. I looked at Daria who was waking up for a few seconds before walking back to the suit where my mate sat with Natasha. I knew that she was in pain, and judging by her conversation with Natasha, I knew that she was going through more conflict than she could handle. The pain that she was going through was one that I didn’t want her to be dealing with, and the fact that I was the cause of it, even if it was unintentionally, when I knew how fragile she was tore me apart. Her eyes were fixed on mine as I entered the room, and I couldn’t help but find myself aching at the fact that she was avoiding my eyes as if feeling anything toward the sit

Killian: “Anything from her?” I asked, entering the basement. Eleanor has finally managed to get some shuteye, and though I didn’t want to leave her, I knew that I had to check on whatever they might have found out from Daria. “A few curse words here and there, but it stayed there. The woman is tough as hell,” Inna said, and I nodded before taking a deep breath. I didn’t want to be the one to harm her. If anything, I knew that I would be affecting her most if I did, and I wasn’t one who liked to show my strength to someone who I knew would be physically weaker than I was. But then again, the woman did kill my men… “I take it that you’re letting go of your morals?” Daria asked, taking sight of me as I ran my finger over one of the daggers. It was a present from her years ago, and though she cheated, and we broke up, I never really had the heart to get rid of it. I knew that it was a valuable present from her, and that was why I was sure to keep it safe with everything that I had. “

Killian: I walked inside the basement to find Daria’s eyes wide in surprise at the sight of her ‘friend’. Her heart raced, and I raised an eyebrow before glaring at Torino. His eyes avoided mine, not that he had another choice, I was sure to crack his neck to the point where he would be paralyzed if I ever let him live. I wasn’t going to, but that didn’t mean that I had to give him an easy death. “I take it that you know now how much my mate means to me.” I said, glaring daggers at the woman. Daria gulped, and I rolled my eyes before snapping Torino’s neck. Daria screamed before looking at me and shaking her head. “And I think that you know that you are next.” “I came here to get help…” “You should have thought of that before dragging my mate into this.” I said, grabbing the dagger that she gave me. Never did I think that I would be using it on her. However, it seemed to me that time had its surprises to us all. I walked behind her and her heart raced. She shook her head, but I

Killian: “It’s a full moon tomorrow.” Eleanor said, laying on my chest. I smiled and tightened my arms around her before kissing the crown of her head. “A full moon that would be filled with pain,” I said, and she shook her head in question. “Natasha is grieving, and everything in the house is fumbled…” “And you are in pain,” she said, stopping me. I looked down at her and she turned around to face me. Her eyes were gentle as she looked into mine, and I looked away, wanting to avoid hers. The fact that I knew that this was wrong was not something that I was going to deny. But something in me broke today, and I don’t even know I managed to do it with no remorse. “It’s okay to be in pain, Killian. I won’t judge.” “It’s not that, Eleanor…” “It’s the fact that she was your lover.” She said, and I frowned. She gently put her hands on my cheeks, cupping them before making me look at her. “It is okay to be hurt over a person that you love, Killian. I am not going to be angry because of i
