Chapter 54
Killian’s Point of View.
I slammed my office door shut, frustration pulsating through my veins as I strode directly to the bar attached to the room. Grabbing a bottle of Brugal rum, I poured it into a glass and downed it one gulp at a time. The burning sensation in my throat did little to case the turmoil inside.
I couldn’t stand the sight of that ba stard wandering around her. Why the hell was he even here? Every time I saw him near her, my wolf stirred, a primal urge to tear him. away from her taking over.
Jealousy and irritation flashed through me, an unsettling mix of emotions that I thought should have dissipated after all these years of separation.

make me feel things, emotions that weakened my resolve. Only her. She had the power to make me weak.
My eyes flashed, struggling to control my da mn wolf as the door to my office opened again. She walked in, the clicking of her heels resonating in the room. I couldn’t help. but wonder why she chose to wear this, why she had to make it more complicated.
“Killian, do you know how worried I was when you didn’t contact me this week?” she said, her voice carrying genuine concern. I turned around, initially ready to unleash my frustration on her, but the sincerity etched in her features froze me in place.
I’d been avoiding her, and deep down, I knew it wasn’t fair to her. Whatever chaos was unfolding in my da mn life, she wasn’t response

inside my heart. I walked to her side and lightly touched her face. She closed her cyes as she enjoyed the warmth of mine but just like always I didn’t feel that tingling which I felt whenever I was with Kiara.
“Rihanna, I’m sorry, but I wasn’t in a good condition to tell you everything.” I whispered, a soft apology escaping my l*ps. She nodded her head in understanding. That is what I hope for.
“It is okay, I can understand. Just inform me before you go anywhere. You know I got scared,” she whispered softly. I offered her a smile trying to put distance between us but she pouted and gripped my shirt so that I could stand closer to her. I shook my head. knowing that she would do whatever she wanted before I mind-linked Alejandro to come and meet me in the office.
I mindlinked Alejandro’to walk into the office. He had informed me something about the activity when he got the call from one of the warriors. And I needed to find what

information he had gotten his hand too.
As he walked inside the office, I saw how uncomfortable he had gotten to see me close to Rihanna and how smug she looked when he saw us together and this close. I untangled her hand from my n*eck which she put when I tried to ease off and put distance between us as I moved to sit on the chair.
“What news do you have, Al?” I asked as I sat at my desk, reaching into my drawer for a smoke. I was not addicted to it but it is something I felt like doing today. The past week has been a roller coaster ride for me. Getting to know you have kids and they have been kidnapped and the attack on Kiara is blocking my mind blocked from even thinking about anything else right now. It feels like a responsibility.
Seeing her this close to losing her brought a new fear onto me. Was it because she was the mother of my children? I couldn’t comprehend why my wolf was acting up, seeking to find her mate, her wolf within her. It was as if he sensed her presence somewhere deep within her….
A protective instinct began to surge within me. If something were to happen to her, I could claim parental rights for both the children. It would be to my advantage, right? But I don’t feel like doing this sh it to her.
“I received information from one of the spy warriors in the west. He reported unusual activity in the mines. Unfortunately, that’s all I got before the signal on his phone went off,” Alejandro reported, his hand pressing against his back, a gesture which I didn’t miss

was away.
The past week had proven to be a burden on Alejandro as I with matters in Alpha Dean’s pack while Austin resided in the Ecl*pse Pack. Austin had informed me of some improvement in Lucia’s health, and he desired to be by her side. I had granted him permission, understanding the importance of family, as Lucia was the only family he had. And I know how it felt to lose them…
In my absence, Alejandro took up the responsibility of managing affairs in my pack. Rihanna, at times, adopted a fake Luna attitude to handle various matters, and I sensed my father had already surrendered his hold on me. By the way, his absence speaks to
me…
“Who else knows?” I inquired about him.
“Apart from Alpha Aries, no one. He was there when I got the call from the spy warrior,” Alejandro reported, his voice carrying a sense of frustration.
“This is the first time I have heard of such information?” Rihanna, scornfully remarking on the situation, directed her questioning gaze at Alejandro, who chose not to respond. The tension in the room intensified, and I could sense there was more to this than met
the eye.

“And I don’t understand why you’re helping her, Killian. Do you really believe the children are yours?” she taunted, igniting the usual storm of anger within me.
“Send her on her way, and while you’re at it, ask for a divorce and this time please do reject her,” Riharina declared before storming out of the office, pulling her phone from her pocket.
Alejandro and I exchanged a shake of our heads at her audacity.
“What happened there, Killian?” Alejandro inquired, turning to me after Rihanna stormed out of my office.
“A f ucking disaster, Alejandro! I arrived at the abandoned building to find her half. unconscious, bleeding profusely from her head, with hand marks on her n*eck from the attacker pinning her to the ground…” A low growl resonated from my chest as the memories replayed in my mind.
“She’s angry at me for scaring the attacker away, for losing the information, but he wasn’t there to give her details. From the way I found her, he had other motives,” I explained, frustration evident in my voice as I ran my fingers through my hair, tugging at the ends.
“Did you provide her with medical care?” Alejandro frowned, crossing his arms over his chest. Today, he was wearing a hoodie, an unusual choice given the hot weather outside.
“It was Alpha Dean’s land she drove straight into, wasn’t it? He made it apparent he enjoyed her error in judgement,” I took a deep breath, the frustration still vivid at Dean. flirting with her.
“When I got to the cars with an unconscious Kiara, Dean and some of his men were waiting for us. He took us straight to the hospital, and his doctors gave Kiara immediatel medical attention. But now I f ucking owe that man,” I stubbed out my cigarette before lighting another one.
We started to plan what we could do for that news.
“I will go
to to t
the mines and see what I can find there. If I’m caught, I’ll claim you sent me to qualify the lead on the reported recent movement. If it’s the end, you’re close enough to quickly form a new plan with our warriors at your command,” Alejandro suggested. The loyalty and trust between us were evident, reinforcing why he was my beta and my best friend.
“That is a good plan,” I said as I adjusted my weight on the desk looking out of the window.
