Chapter 66

Kiara Point of View

I gulped before pushing him away. He looked somewhat confused, and the scene from last night came to my mind. How could he even react like nothing happened last night?

“Can you please show me where you’ve placed the books? I need to start my work, and you need to focus on finding Ry,” I stated, locking eyes with him. He seemed hurt but nodded his head in agreement. I was determined this time that I won’t let him budge myself because of his so-called facade.

Killian walked to the side of the rack where his file and other books are kept. He pulled one book out and a sound of something opening like a door was heard. I turned to the side of the sound where it is coming from and saw a wall opening like a door… When did he construct this?

“While I believe those books are nothing more than a collection of old ideals and myths, they were still my mother’s possessions, so I decided to secure them,” Killian explained as he led me into the wall. I never knew what happened to his mother and there are many theories regarding her. Some said she died, she said it was his father’s fault, some said she left them and ran away… And all the theories are so hurtful that I wasn’t able to bring myself to ask him…

When he switched on the light, I saw racks lined with books. There were so many racks, each filled with books, files, and various items. It resembled a safe room.

“You’ll have to search in here because I don’t remember where I put those books. After you left, I decided to clear out things…

“Related to me,” I finished his sentence. He was gazing at me when his office phone rang.

“I’ll be back,” he declared, leaving the room. I sighed. Why does he have this effect on me? I pushed those thoughts aside and began searching the racks for the healing book I had read during my time as Luna.

I look at every rack when I look up at the shelf. It was there, a little too high for my reach.. I looked around calling for Killian but he didn’t respond to me.

Sighing with a glance around the room, my eyes caught sight of a portable ladder. I thought it might do the trick, so I moved it close to the shelf. Climbing the steps, I stretched to reach the book, but it stubbornly stayed just out of my grasp. Undeterred, I climbed a bit higher on the ladder, and finally, success was mine.

Yet, in that moment of triumph, the unmistakable scent of his presence reached me before he actually appeared. It threw me off balance, and I felt the impending danger of

a fall. Just in time, his strong arm wrapped securely around my waist, flooding me with a comforting warmth.

“Easy there Mrs Woods.. I don’t want you to get hurt,” His deep husky voice echoed in. the room. And I glared back at him.

“Thank you for saving me but could you please let me down,” he smiled and helped me put down.

We walked out of the room and Killian closed the door.

“I still think this is not going to work.. These books are just ideologies and myth Kiara..” he said as I walked towards his office table, taking a seat on the chair and opening the book.

“You are always this same, think that our old ideologies could help anything,” Killian said as he crossed his arm around his chest and I felt his muscles tighten around his shirt. I remember that night when he took off his shirt his b*dy had become bulkier than it was used to.

I am always like this? When did he meet me before? I do remember correctly that I met him when Alpha Eric came to my pack to talk about alliance. Did we meet before that?

“I just don’t want you to get disappointed in yourself if these things won’t work,” He added so softly that it made me feel warm all over. What game are you trying to play Killian? I thought.

“How do you know that?” I asked as I turned the page to find something related to Lucia’s condition that could help me.

“You don’t need to know that sweetheart,” he said and looked smugly at me.

I ignored the tingling sensation which I felt in the pit of my stomach when I heard him calling me by this new nickname….

I read the books it was total five and going through every text seems more hectic than it seems. Killian went for a while to train himself with his warrior and when he came back he was already freshly showered and his scent filled the office room. And I was confused when I felt my wolf stirring within…

It makes me think that it might be possible for me to get my wolf back…

“Did you find anything?” Killian asked him to sweep his hair back, giving me a good view of his forehead. He looks hot right now and I feel myself clenching

nothing..

“I did find something but it is still not enough,” I added as I resumed to dwell more. deeper into the books so that I could not think of the hottest men before me. He

nodded his head.

I was reading when I turned the pages past the healing section.. My eyes widened as I read the lines. It was the curse page section where if you lost your wolf what could be done.. The Moon Goddess created a pair to be together till they die and if anyone rejected each other they would lose their wolf forever.. But it could be given back to them if they wore marks of each other.. My hand abruptly went to my side of the n*eck where I should have worn his mark feeling it empty…

So, all along, my intuition was correct. I sensed my wolf more in Killian’s presence because he didn’t accept my rejection, and wearing his mark might restore my connection with my

wolf

“So, are those curses they talk about all real? If someone rejects their fated mate, do they lose their wolf forever?” Killian’s voice interrupted my thoughts as he, too, perused

the book.

“Am I not a living example right in front of you?” I replied, quickly closing the book. It didn’t want Killian to know about this. While I was glad at the prospect of reconnecting with my wolf, I wasn’t ready to become Killian’s mistress. I refused to immerse myself in unrequited love again. I have endured this feeling enough and now I am not alone. I have to take care of my kids who weren’t safe here…

Standing up from the chair, I prepared to leave the room when he gripped my hand, turning me to face him.

“Kiara, what’s wrong? I noticed you’ve been avoiding me, even in the dining area,” he inquired. Irritation seeped into my bones.

“Killian, could you please leave this pretence of taking care of me? I don’t understand why this concerns you. I only came to you because my children are missing. If this problem didn’t arise, I wouldn’t be here, and you wouldn’t even know that you have kids,” I shouted angrily. His behaviour was wearing on me. Why was he confusing me?

“Let me go!” I demanded, but his grip only tightened. I could sense from the way his eyes flickered between stormy grey and amber-red that he was growing angry.

“Not until you tell me what I’ve done,” I growled.

“Are you genuinely asking me that, Killian?”

“Kiara,” he softly called my name, and I closed my eyes as memories of the passionate night we shared flashed in my mind-the way he moaned my name while thrusting into me. I shook my head.

“Killian, I’ve already told you that you can meet or see your children whenever you want, but don’t expect anything from me. And drop your facade; you don’t have to

pretend like you care for me,” I declared, pushing him away. I headed towards the door, ready to escape the room when he grabbed my hand, cornering me against the wall.

Anger surged within me, and I tried to yank my hand free, but he was much stronger. The Alpha King’s power resonates in the room. Glaring at him, I struggled even more, only for him to push me up against the wall.

His b*dy pressed against mine, sending sensations I shouldn’t be feeling coursing through me.

“Now tell me, sweetheart. Why are you angry?” His voice was low and husky.

“I hate you,” I whispered defiantly. He rested his arm on the wall above my head and shook his head.

“We both know… that you don’t hate me,” he stated confidently, and I wished to wipe that smug expression off his face.

“How can you

you even talk about a second chance when just last night you engaged in intimate activities with your lover?” I asserted strongly. He raised an eyebrow when he realised what I meant, and a smirk appeared on his face.

Oh.. Killian IronClaw you would be dead from my hand if you don’t wipe that smug attitude from your handsome face..

“Are you feeling jealous right now, sweetheart?” he asked, his gaze dipping down to my breast, which was rising and falling rapidly due to the close proximity.

“You’re shameless, Killian,” I hissed, attempting to push him away, only for him to grab my other hand and pin it against the wall. His eyes flashed amber, and I could see the hunger in them as he exhaled slowly. Trying his best to control his wolf.

“Listen to me, sweetheart, what you witnessed is only one side of the story. And I am

not gonna

lie about it… She does come to my room, but we didn’t do anything.”

“And you think I would believe you,”

“Yes,”

“No,”

“I don’t want to hear any of your reasons. I don’t care about it at all,” I stated. I can’t handle this proximity. I can feel the heat emanating from his b*dy. Knowing underneath that fitted shirt are his chiselled abs, and…

Stop it, Kiara…

My core area tightens, and I bite my l*p, attempting to clear my mind, but I can’t, not

when his intoxicating scent is overwhelming me. I’m angry with him… Yes… Right, you’re angry with this handsome bas ta rd.

“You have no right to be angry when you sleep in the same room as Aries,” he taunted, but I can tell he was angry.

“Yes, you’re right. I won’t give you reasons,” I hissed, lowering my tone significantly.

“I don’t like seeing you so close to him. I don’t like Hanna calling him daddy, but I’m enduring all this nonsense,”

“You can’t blame me, Killian. You missed out on those crucial years when children form bonds with their parents,”

“Because of you. You never informed me about them,”

“Huh… really? That’s because you were with Rihanna, accusing me of poisoning her, accusing my family for things we didn’t do, I yelled. How could he even blame me for not telling him about them.. I was about to but he was so lost in love with Rihanna that he was responsible for every loss he had faced.

“I know, Kiara. What Rihanna did was wrong. I totally agree with you. Later that day… she eventually confessed it to me,” he said but halted, looking at me. What?

“What?” I inquired. He cursed before approaching me, and I could discern regret in those stormy eyes. What had she confessed?

“Kiara, on the day you were accused of poisoning Rihanna, she admitted that you didn’t do it, and it was all a lie,” he muttered. I lifted my head abruptly; he knew this but still. didn’t return to me, still didn’t fight for me.

“You’re a pathetic person, Killian….. And I regret every single day that I once loved you,” I asserted, this time forcefully pushing him. He stumbled back a little but managed to regain his balance. I then rushed out of the room.
