“Good,” I said, rising to my feet. I turned to the other guards. “Unblock the roads. The lockdown is over now that my son is safe.”
“Yes, Alpha!” the third guard replied, then ran off to relay the message.
I turned back to the two bastards being held down. “Who sent you?” I asked coldly.
They kept their mouths shut.
“You know silence won’t protect you,” I muttered. I already had a strong guess, and my jaw clenched thinking about it. It had to be Cassian or Dorian. Those two had made clear threats the last time we met, and I wouldn’t put this kind of cowardly move past either of them.
Still, they didn’t speak.
So I pulled out my phone and called my head warrior, who was also the chief of police. “Adam, I need you here. Bring a few of our men. There’s something I need you to take care of.”
Liana was still hugging Ryan tight, but when she looked up and saw the two men, her whole expression changed. Her face darkened, her body stiffened, and I could feel the anger radiating from her like fire. She stood up and marched toward them, fists clenched.
I moved fast, grabbing her arm before she got too close. “Hey, hey, stop,” I whispered. “I know. I know you’re angry. I’m furious too. But don’t do this right now.”
“They tried to take my baby,” she said, her voice shaking.
“I know,” I murmured, pulling her into my chest. I kissed her forehead and wrapped one arm around her waist while the other still held Ryan close. “Let me handle this. You stay with him. Please, baby.”
She didn’t say anything, just nodded slowly, and I walked them both to the car, opened the backseat, and gently helped them inside. “Wait for me here. I’ll be right back, okay?” I kissed them both again before shutting the door.
By the time I turned around, a black van had already pulled into the lot. Adam stepped out first, followed by three other police officers from our territory. They were all armed and ready.
“Alpha,” Adam greeted with a salute.
“Head Warrior Adam,” I returned the greeting, then pointed to the two restrained men. “These men tried to abduct my son. Luckily, we caught them before they got far. They refused to say who sent them. I’m sure they’re not from our territory. Could be North or East. Either way, I want them locked in a special cell. Torture them if you must. I need answers. And fast.”
Adam nodded. “Yes, Alpha. Consider it done.”
The officers immediately moved in, grabbing the two men roughly and shoving them inside the van. Their arms and legs were cuffed tightly now, no room for struggle.
“I’m heading back,” I told Adam. “I need to take my family home. This day has already been a damn nightmare.”
“Understood,” Adam said.
“Good job,” I added, nodding at all of them. I turned to M100r. Sinclair and the remaining guards. “Thank you, all of you. I owe you.”
“It was our honor, Alpha,” Sinclair replied respectfully.
I turned and headed back to the car, my legs finally feeling a little lighter now. When I opened the door, I saw Liana still holding Ryan close. She was wiping his cheeks while he whispered something.
“I was really scared, Mommy,” he said, voice small.
I slid into the driver’s seat, leaned over, and hugged them both tight.
“I know, buddy. But you’re safe now. And you’re never going to go through that again.”
With my heart finally settling back into my chest, I started the ignition and drove us home./ [
KILLIAN’S POV
“I want to deal with them so bad!” Liana growled, pacing back and forth like a wild animal in a cage, her fists clenched, her body trembling with pure fury. I could feel the rage rolling off her in waves, and I knew if I didn’t do something soon, she might lose control completely.
“Liana, calm down,” I said softly, stepping closer, trying to make her meet my eyes. “My men are already taking care of it. They were tortured just how I wanted them to be tortured until they spilled the truth.”
But she wasn’t listening. Her body was tense, her breathing heavy, as if each second that passed without her being out there handling it herself was driving her closer to breaking.
Ryan was in his room. He’d slept off shortly after we got home. Liana had made sure he took a hot bath, rubbed him dry with her own hands, and tucked him into bed while whispering to him that everything was okay now. But the moment his eyes closed, hers turned blood-red.
Now in our room, she was filled with so much fury it was making the whole room buzz. Her teeth gritted, her nostrils flared, her whole body heating up as her feet stomped on the rug.
Her canines were out now.
So were her fangs and nails.
“I swear Killian,” she growled, her voice low and viscous, “I really need to deal with them myself. I won’t be satisfied until I see them groaning in pain. Until I see bloo-“
“Liana,” I called softly, but her eyes were glued to the floor, her breaths short and labored, as if she was fighting to hold her own skin together.
“Liana, baby.” I tried again, softer this time, more loving.
Still nothing.
So I crossed the space between us, reached for her face and held it gently in both of my hands. Her skin was burning hot as if she was on fire. Her lips were slightly parted, her chest rising and falling too fast.
I leaned in, brushing my lips against hers, just a peck, nothing more. Then I whispered one more time, “Baby.”
That was when she blinked up at me, her fiery eyes meeting mine, still clouded with fury but slightly softer now. I pulled her close, one hand going to the small of her back, the other cradling her neck, and I kissed her deeply.
At first, she was stiff, still quite furious, but then… she kissed me back. Her lips clung to mine like they were drowning and I was air, her hands flying up to grab the back of my neck, pulling me even closer.
“Make love to me, Killian,” she breathed out, her voice so low and broken that it went straight through me. Her fingers clenched at my shirt as if she couldn’t wait a second longer. “I need to feel you… I need you to make it stop
I didn’t even hesitate.
I smirked as I slowly pushed her back, my hands never leaving her waist, guiding her toward the bed. She was hot in my arms, as if she was still smoldering with anger but wanted me to extinguish it with every single touch.
She fell back onto the bed and I followed, ready to take her to cloud nine, ready to turn this angry, beautiful goddess into a whimpering mess beneath me.
She was burning under me, trembling, her breaths coming out in short, heated bursts like she’d been holding back a storm all evening and now it was finally tearing through her chest. Her lips were swollen from how hard we were kissing, her hands tangled in my hair like she couldn’t bear to let me go even for a second, and God, I didn’t want to let her go either.
I kissed her again, slow and deep, dragging my mouth across hers like I was trying to swallow every last piece of her anger, her fear, her pain. She moaned into it, her body arching under mine, and I pulled her closer, so close there was no space left between us. I needed her. I needed to feel her. I needed to love her in a way that would remind her she was safe, that she was mine to hold, not control, but protect.
My fingers brushed over her stomach as I slowly tugged her shirt up and over her head. I kissed every inch I exposed. Her breath hitched when my lips found the sensitive spot just below her ribs. She was shaking. Still a little angry over what happened today, and I was going to help her let it all out, one touch at a time.
“You’re beautiful,” I whispered, watching her eyes flutter open, her pupils wide and glossy. “You always are, but
Liana.” right now… you look so damn hot,
She bit her lip, and I kissed it. Then I kissed lower, over the swell of her breasts, undoing her bra with a flick of my hand and tossing it aside like it offended me by covering her at all. My mouth found her nipple, warm and already peaked, and when I sucked it gently, she gasped and clawed at my shoulders.
“Killian… please,” she whispered, her voice breaking a little, like she couldn’t figure out what exactly she was begging for.
“I know,” I said softly. “I’ve got you.”
