I scoffed internally at that. It sounded like that was the kind of idea Thea wanted everyone to believe. I wouldn’t be surprised if I would be suspected at this time.
I pulled my thoughts away from that. A smile found my lips. “What is there for breakfast? I am so famished.”
As if on cue, the helpers began to serve breakfast, and my sweet Morgan decided to join me for breakfast.
He took his seat right opposite mine, and we started eating.
“What happened last night? Ria told me that Thea’s chamber was on fire last night and it might be a murder attempt.”
I said, taking a spoon into my mouth.
“It’s only a speculation. But honestly, I doubt it. The pack is heavily guarded to have someone sneak in and try to have her murdered.”
Morgan said, gulping down his ginger tea.
I had the remaining of my breakfast in silence. Soon, Morgan and I were done. He returned to his chamber to prepare for the Council meeting. Recently, the Council has been calling for meetings frequently. It seemed important as Valerie and almost all the witches will be attending as well, including Killian, Morgan, and most of the ranking warriors.
I left the Castle and strolled to the garden not far from the castle walls. The flowers I had planted had begun to blossom beautifully. I bent down to pick some flowers when I felt a presence behind me. It was Killian. But I didn’t look back. He motioned closer to me, crouching next to me.
“Good morning,”
I heard him say behind me. There was something about his voice that forced me to turn to him. He was almost a breath away from me. He had already showered and was prepared for the Council meeting.
“Morning,”
I replied, noting a particular emotion or rather, a sadness embedded in his eyes, it made me want to reach out to him and beat it all away. “How is Thea?”
I asked, and Killian’s face almost splintered. I wasn’t furious at him for spending the night with Thea, even though a jealous part of me hated it.
“She’s still healing,”
he said, “I am leaving for the Council meeting now, please take care.”
He added, pulling a hand to my cheek. Killian leaned closer and kissed me. Something was wrong with him. Whatever it was, it raised fear within me.
Killian’s point of view
I didn’t know when I fell asleep, but I knew this was a dream. It just had to be. Something was incredibly wrong, I was covered with blood. But it wasn’t mine. Hell, I wasn’t even bleeding, at least not physically. But my heart was in pain. I kept walking in the darkness as only the moon’s rays followed my trail. Blood was everywhere, dead wolves and witches from my pack covering the earth along with some lifeless bodies that weren’t from my pack. Some had the dragon mark of the Council army, while I recognized another mark on some of the dead bodies. It was the mark of the Dark Circle.
I couldn’t understand what was going on, why was the Dark Circle army in my pack, from the looks of it, it seemed a war broke out here. My heart hammered the more as I began searching through the bodies on the ground for someone in particular. Naomi. I released a breath when I couldn’t find her among the scattered bodies on the ground. I left the pack house and began racing to the castle when my legs stopped abruptly and I felt like my life had come to an end. Naomi was laying in the middle of the castle grounds. My legs hastened towards her, my heart was pounding hard in my chest. She was wounded severely, and her dress and body were drenched by her blood. I forced my shaking hands to touch her, she was completely cold.
I jerked awake. My heart was racing incredulously fast. I scanned around and I was still with Thea, she was sleeping peacefully in my arms. I sighed, dropping my head on the bed. It was just a dream, but it felt so real. I could still feel the pains in my chest from seeing Naomi in such a state. I had to go see her and be with her. Ryker was going insane in my mind, he desperately wanted to be near our mate.
Slowly, I tried to place Thea back on the bed, but surprisingly, she stirred awake instantly.
“Killian, are you going somewhere?”
Her brown eyes were focused on me. “Please don’t leave me,”
she wrapped her hands around me, burying her head on my chest.
I sighed, shutting my eyes closed.
I could barely sleep a wink throughout the night. I just couldn’t fall asleep. Whenever I tried to leave, Thea would always stir awake. As the morning invaded, there was this growing restlessness and fear that enveloped my heart, with each passing second it kept increasing.
When I left Thea in her new chamber she was already awake, she kept pleading with me to stay with her but I couldn’t. The Council had called for a meeting again. This time, Valerie and many of her witches will be attending, and so will some ranking members of my pack.
I went straight to Naomi’s chamber but she was already awake and wasn’t in the chamber. I mind-linked Riannon, and she informed me my mate was at the Pack’s garden. Without wasting time, I showered and got dressed. I didn’t have breakfast, frankly, I had no appetite. Last night’s dream was still lucid in my thoughts and the only thing I wanted was to be next to my mate.
I left the Castle and headed towards the Pack’s garden. From afar I sighted Naomi, she was tending to the flowers. I couldn’t deny it, she had magical hands capable of bringing life into something. I strolled closer to where she crouched.
“Good morning,”
I said, bending down next to her.
Her beautiful face turned to me. “Morning,”
she sounded, her voice was exactly what I needed. It calmed me deeply, but unfortunately, the fear rooted within me remained. “How are you feeling?”
I asked even though she looked better than she did yesterday.
“Fine,”
she muttered slowly, her deep blue eyes searching mine, almost as if she could feel the unsettledness within me. I didn’t know why I felt this way, but even Ryker felt it as well. It was as if something bad was about to happen. The last time I felt this way was the night my father, along with the Dark Circle army raided the Black Blood Pack and murdered their Luna, stealing the Alpha’s daughter. That day I felt it, I knew something bad was about to happen, and it did. The Black Blood Pack attacked us, and the pack suffered so much loss, including a brother.
“How is Thea?”
Naomi softly asked. I felt a pang of pain in my chest. Oh, goddess, I didn’t want her to think something happened between Thea and me. The last thing I wanted was to fight with her. I needed her so badly that I can’t bear for her to be mad at me. “She’s still healing,”
I said to her, and instead of freaking out, she only nodded. Her soft hand pulled up to my cheek.
The warmth that formed from the tingles calmed me more, and I leaned into her touch. I pulled closer to her, my head leaning closer till I felt my lips on hers. I kissed her gently.
“Killian, what’s wrong?”
She muttered against my lips. “Did something happen? Tell me.”
“I am fine. Just take care. Today’s meeting will take a long time. Whatever you need, ask either Allen, Ria, or Mason. And please, don’t be alone like this. Have someone with you at all times.”
I said to her, not sure of what I was saying exactly. I just wanted her safe. “I have to leave now,”
I kissed her again, standing up.
Naomi stood as well, her eyes were now clouded with worry. “Stop worrying. I am fine. Just remember, I love you.”
I pecked her lips once more, leaving the garden.
I joined Morgan and Valerie at the stables. They were waiting for me. I got on my horse, and we started our journey to the Council castle.

Naomi’s point of view
I watched as Killian left me. No matter how much I asked him, he didn’t say what had him this sad, or maybe terrified. I finished off from the garden, heading back to the Castle. Many ranking members also attended the Council’s meeting, including some ranking warriors, and so did many of the witches, including Lorenzo. I was to meet up with him later in the day, but it seems it would have to be when he’s back from the meeting.
Instead of heading to my chamber, I went to Killian’s office to tend to some work. Ever since he came to meet me in the garden, I have been feeling somewhat anxious. Killian wasn’t the type to get saddened or terrified like that, something must have happened to put him in such a mood, and now I felt anxious and sick and so did my wolf, Adie.
I was in Killian’s office working when the door pushed open and someone walked in. My head tilted up a little, and my blue eyes fell on Thea. She walked in like she owned the place, closing the door behind her. Her brown menacing gaze was on me, and her hands were folded against her chest. She looked pretty fine to me. It seemed like everyone was exaggerating the whole fire incident, because the woman in front of me wasn’t still healing, she was absolutely fine. “What is it that you want?”
I broke the silence, falling my gaze back on the papers I was going through.
