I said, almost in a whisper. My voice was calm. Very calm.
“What?”
Thea blinked, taken aback for a second. She retracted her hand that was on my table. I watched her brown irises burn with fury. She took a single step backward. “You don’t consider my words true, why?”
“Thea,”
I brushed my hair swiftly with my fingers. “I don’t have the time nor the strength for this,”
I was up on my boots. “If that’s the only thing you came here to say. Good, you’ve said it, leave now,”
I was brutally cold. This was the first time I had spoken to her this way. But she left me with no choice. I was doing my hardest not to lash my rage at her.
“Don’t you think you are being cruel, Killian?”
Thea said, almost in a shaky voice. Her eyes had begun to well up with tears.
“No. I don’t think so. I think you are the one being cruel. Why can’t you just leave Naomi alone?”
I shot back. All I could see was just jealousy. I thought Thea and I were past this. I thought she had finally understood the situation between both of us and had learned to let go. But I was mistaken. It was obvious Thea had barged in here to smear Naomi’s name to put a rift between us.
“You didn’t even ask me how I knew this,”
she started, but I pulled a hand up in the air.
“Honestly, I do not f*****g care,”
I stalked to the window, feeling the night’s cool breeze on my skin. Outside had already been covered with darkness and the moon made little effort to shower its bright rays on the earth.
“You have so much trust in her, don’t you?”
I heard her mutter behind me. “I hope it won’t be too late when you find out the many other secrets that b***h is keeping from you. Believe me, you’ll be shocked as hell.”
Her words forced me to swerve around and regard her. What did she mean by many other secrets? I was dying to know, but I shoved these thoughts away. With what Thea told me now, it only proves anything that escapes her lips could only be more f*****g lies. I trusted Naomi with my life, and also, there was no way she could have a lover. I would have known. Just the way she felt the pain of betrayal, I would have felt it too.
I closed my eyes, exhaling. Last night, I had lost every ounce of control. I can’t believe I had shoved those brutal words in her face. I regretted it so much.
My gaze fell back on Thea. “You can leave now. And today will be the last time you address your Luna with such disrespect. You know me too well, Thea. The next time, I won’t be so forgiving,”
I returned my eyes to the darkness outside the window.
“I can’t believe we have come to this, Killian,”
My amber crystals shifted and pierced through the shock in her eyes for a second. But I pulled away, sending my back to her, again.
When I didn’t respond to her rants, she turned for the door, before stopping abruptly. “By the way, I caught them together. You of all people know too that there’s something between those two. It makes me wonder if she was kidnapped in the first place, or she was simply tired of her so-called mate that she was willing to escape to your worst enemy’s pack.”
I heard the door slam shut, and the silence around me enveloped me. I was alone with my thoughts. I fought hard to forget Thea’s last words to me but I just couldn’t. Something about her words was true. I knew that much.
There was certainly something between Naomi and Kaiser. I could feel it. The way she was always ready to defend him, and the manner he regarded her screamed something.
No. No. I didn’t want to think about it. f**k, I was already going insane with all these. These fears were driving me crazy. But that didn’t give me the right to cast any doubt on her. Naomi hasn’t given me any reason to doubt her, well unlike me.
I guess that was the problem. I didn’t deserve her, especially with everything that I had made her go through these last few months. And even though I hated to admit it. I was scared. Scared of losing my mate. Scared that she’ll realize she was too good for me.
I felt Ryker howl in my head, also feeling my fear, frustration, and sadness. He has been quiet these days. The effect of the crescent moon was already affecting him, and tomorrow it’ll be far much worse. I needed some fresh air, as well as some sanity. I rushed out of the office, and hastily exited the castle. I stripped and shifted into my gargantuan black wolf, racing into the night’s darkness. I took the longest path into the woods and ran for hours until I felt calm and my head clear.
Immediately, I started for the witch’s quarters where Naomi would be. I had to see her. I had to apologize to her. I raced through the slothful trees, and cool breeze. I was almost at the witches’ quarters when my paws sank deeper into the earth and I stopped running.
The golden eyes of my wolf scanned around the woods. I couldn’t see anything but I could identify the scent of my mate carried by the night’s air. She was close by. But what was she doing out here?
I sniffed the air, and my head tilted to where her scent seemed to be coming from. I followed the scent in the night’s darkness, leading me deeper into the woods.
From a far distance, I got a glance at my mate, moving in the darkness. She was on her horse, riding to the northern borders of the pack. It was another route that led out of my Pack’s territory.
I felt my blood rise, and I kicked my paws in motion as she soon faded out of sight. I focused only on her mouthwatering scent, and just as I had guessed, she was taking the route out of the pack. And she seemed to be in a hurry. Where the hell was she going alone at such an hour?
I kept trailing her out of the pack, and into the forest. I ensured I placed enough distance between us, so she wouldn’t be able to sniff me out.
After minutes of riding, she finally halted in a clearing field. She jumped down from her horse and didn’t even bother to guide her horse to a tree.
Her eyes scanned around and they fell on a particular tree. She began to race towards it. It was only when I moved from my spot, I realized she wasn’t alone. There was someone behind the trees.
I sauntered closer and the scent of another’s hit me hard. I scrunch my nose up in the night’s darkness. Even in hell, I knew that scent.
My heart began to race hard in my chest, and my eyes followed Naomi until she reached the tree and lunged herself into the arms of someone else. Someone else that wasn’t me. She was in the arms of my worst enemy. Kaiser Black.
My wolf howled as a foreign pain coursed through my body, forcing me to shift back to my human form. I gasped, unable to fight the merciless pain that had dominated me. I couldn’t stop the tears that had risen in my eyes at Naomi’s betrayal. My very own mate had betrayed me.
Killian’s point of view
It was a gruesome pain. Like I had been stabbed straight in the heart by my very own mate.
It’d hurt. It hurt so badly that I couldn’t believe this.
The pain that was engraved in the deepest corners of my heart transformed as quickly into a severe rage.
I could feel the corners of my eyes darken with extreme emotions that entirely shut off my reasoning. The only thing I wanted was to have his blood on my hands. To feel the sickening euphoria of that bloody bastard’s heart in my claws.
I moved incredulously fast with my nonhuman speed. In a murderous second, I was right next to where Kaiser and Naomi were, I gripped her tightly pulling her away from Kaiser’s arms.
My eyes tore through the instant shock that was plastered on Naomi’s blue eyes. Her eyes gave it all right away. I could see everything that was going through her mind imprinted on her round, shocked gaze, and the blatant truth was she had lied to me. She had a f*****g lover, and it was my worst enemy. I didn’t know which one killed me the most. The fact that Naomi had a lover all along, or the fact that her lover happened to be my worst enemy who has always wanted me dead.
My hold on Naomi’s arms firmed, as I pulled her closer to me. “Even if you had a lover, why did it have to be him of all people?”
I counted each word painfully, embracing the pain that vibrated against my joints. “Have you forgotten everything I told you he did to my family? To our pack?”
The pain was the only thing I could feel at the moment. It had been such a long time since I felt this intense pain. The last time I felt such deathly pain was the day I witnessed both my mother’s and Karl’s death right before my eyes. This pain was as equal to that, or maybe much worse.
Naomi held me with her other hand. “Killian, it’s not even close to what you think?”
She let out. I could feel her body tremble against my hold, but not from fear for me. It was fear of something else.
“Then what is it, Naomi?”
Fury began to push itself to the surface. “What could explain you being in the arms of someone else? A godforsaken Black?”
I growled at her.
I didn’t turn around to look, but I could hear the low growls of Kaiser’s wolf like he was battling hard with his wolf to remain in control. Naomi sent a pleading look at him, before returning her stare to me.
