“Oh, don’t tell me you are still angry at me about what happened yesterday.” He said, smiling.
“I trusted you and you betrayed me, leading me back to your brother. Why didn’t you tell me that you and Killian were brothers?” I spoke.
His betrayal and lies hurt me deeply. I had to admit it. Although he had claimed that he did it for my good, I still found it so absurd to believe. It would be the same as stabbing me in the back and then telling me that it was all for my benefit.
“I was going to eventually tell you who I was, but if I did, you wouldn’t have wanted anything to do with me, and I would have told you if you asked,” he said, raising his brow.
He did have a point, though. I would have wanted to run away from him the second I knew who he truly was, and I never really asked about his story. Maybe I was wrong to judge him so harshly. After all, he has been nothing but kind to me.
“So why did you bring me back here?” I asked him, crossing my arms.
“Don’t worry, you will figure that out later. Are you still mad at me?” He asked, making a puppy dog face. He looked really cute right now, making it impossible to be mad at him.
I said, laughing, “Just don’t do that again, promise?” Morgan placed his hand over his chest, crossing it.
“Cross my heart and hope for a merciful death,” he stated as we both burst out in laughter.
“Let’s get going for breakfast, Killian behaves like a grouchy toad towards tardiness.”
I laughed at Morgan’s words, which he used to describe Killian. He was the first I have ever seen that wasn’t afraid of saying what he thought about the all-feared Alpha. Even my father was hesitant to discuss the Alpha in such terms.
As we arrived at the dining hall, the servants were busy serving breakfast to Killian and Thea, who sat on the seat adjacent to him with a smile.
Ugh, I hated seeing her scrawny-looking face. Although I hated to admit it, she was far from ugly; she was beautiful. Her jet-black hair was decorated with ornaments, giving highlights to her naturally pale face. But all her beauty was sadly infused with bitterness.
I took a seat opposite Thea, while Morgan was seated beside me.
“Look who decided to join us for breakfast. If it isn’t the runaway Luna of the Crescent North Pack,” Before I could even get a chance to take a bite of my sumptuous breakfast, Thea decided to spew her venom on me.
“You should be ashamed of yourself,” Thea added. She seemed pleased with herself and her words.
“Why should I be? After all, I have done nothing wrong. If anyone in this room should be ashamed, it’s you. After all, you are the one that serves as nothing but a plaything for Killian, so shut the hell up,” I retorted at her, getting her to keep quiet for a moment.
Damn, she was super annoying.
“You should watch the way you speak to me!” She exclaimed, seemingly hurt. I must have hit her where it hurt and that gave me lots of ideas.
“What? I was just telling you the truth. You mean nothing more to the pack, so just stop lying to yourself. It’s embarrassing,” I said, finally taking a bite of my food. If I may add, it tasted good.
“How dare you say that to me?” She said. She was fuming mad. You could tell by the killer look she shot at me. I bet if you looked closely, you could see smoke flying out of her ears.
“What happened, Thea? Can’t take what you dish?” Morgan let out a chuckle, drinking a sip from his cup.
For once, it felt good to know I wasn’t alone in my fight against Thea. Now I have Morgan.
“So, you are defending her? I wonder what she must have done to have you speak for her. Tell me, did she pleasure you with her body? Such a tramp!” Thea spoke but was stopped by
Killian in mid-sentence.
“Enough Thea! All of you keep quiet!” Killian growled, causing Thea to flinch a bit.
“Don’t you think you’re completely off the hook now that you’ve returned?” Killian turned to me. “You are the Luna of the pack; running away is a punishable offense,” he added, sending chills down my spine the way his gaze took me in.
My body reacted stupidly to his faze, getting turned on. There was a dark, knowing glint in Killian’s eyes. I looked away, my cheeks coloring up.
“You will be locked up in your room till you learn to behave as a Luna should,” he said coldly.
We ate the rest of our breakfast in silence. I was the first to finish, immediately I was done, I made my way to my chamber before being told to.
***
It’s been exactly three days since I have been locked up in my room. I wasn’t allowed by
Killian to leave my chamber. The only companion I had with me was Ria, and she only made time to visit me when she was less busy and well, Morgan too. We had gotten quite close during this time. We often met up at night so he could train me to be better at fighting. I grew to know a lot about him. He is funny and cool to hang out with.
I haven’t seen Killian all this time, and I’m kind of glad too. I couldn’t trust my traitorous body from misbehaving.
Ria had just paid a visit to the Pack’s physician for me. Lately, I have been feeling quite queasy. My head has been pounding so hard as if it was about to just pop up and explode.
It has also been strange how I keep hearing whispers, not even able to make out what they say, but it is driving me further to the edge of insanity. I don’t know how much more I could take. I just hoped this new medication prescribed to me by the physician would help.
It was my last hope.
Sheila’s point of view
I stepped out of the castle into the morning sunrise, its warmth seeping into my body. I was with Brielle, waiting for Morgan before joining the others at the stable. Morgan joined us soon enough, and the three of us gaited to the stables.
Many of the pack members were already on their horses. My eyes scanned around and they fell on Killian. He was as usual with Thea, helping her on her horse. I wanted to look away before he caught me staring, but instantly, his perfect amber eyes met mine.
Quickly, I looked away.
Honestly, I’ve been avoiding him, and so has he. But I have grown used to that, especially with Morgan’s company. He’s been literally a good friend to me. I wonder why Killian doesn’t get along with him.
