Mason said coldly.
I felt my insides churn with rage and a little hurt. I didn’t need anyone to tell me that Killian would rather stay back with his lover than go with me.
I couldn’t pry the hurt away from my eyes. Getting on my horse, I sent a final glance to Morgan. And with an apologetic nod from him and a glint of anger in his eyes, I rode behind Mason and the warriors, with Brielle’s horse protruding beside me. This was surely going to be a long and agonizing trip. I could just feel it inside.
I and the escorts left the pack, riding into the first human village that was closest to the pack’s territory.
As we continued riding, I gripped the reins of my horse tightly. We’ve been riding for hours now, without even taking a single rest. I had to put on my furry blue cloak over my dress as the winter’s cold air kept lashing against my skin. We had just successfully left the capital’s borders. We were riding past the mountains now. The diamond pack was deep beyond North Central. In just a few more hours, we will be arriving at their territory. Thankfully, I just wanted this darn meeting to be over.
I felt angry and exhausted, not from the long, tiring ride, but in Killian’s absence. I couldn’t even hide my disappointment. What happened? Why did he suddenly just change his mind?
I decided to divert my attention elsewhere, such as to the recurring dreams I’d been having. My dreams were always the same, where I constantly found myself in an unknown surrounding, in the middle of what seemed like a bloody war, with chaos all around me, people dying and the sounds of people screaming all around. And there in my arms laid a woman, dead.
They were more like nightmares, if I were more honest because each time these dreams never failed to scare the hell out of me. Every time it felt more surreal, I could feel the pain in each of my dreams. It always made me wake up breathless, drenched in my own sweat. Even though it was a dream, I knew it wasn’t just an ordinary dream. It didn’t feel like just a dream to me, it felt like a time from before that I couldn’t remember. That made me have more and more questions.
I sighed in my frustration.
The hairs on my skin stood on high alert, jolting me from my deep thoughts. We were in the mountains already.
On cue, Mason pulled a hand in the air, and on cue, all the warriors halted on their horses. I pulled my horse to a stop beside Brielle, whom I shot a questioning gaze.
Some of the warriors on their horses pulled back to where I was, circling me, while Mason and a few of the warriors jumped down from their horses, shifting into their wolf forms, their noses stuck in the air, sniffling around. Something was wrong. I could feel something off happening here.
Brielle moved closer to me on her horse. My brown eyes were now very cautious and guarded.
My ears picked up a weird sound. The more I listened, the closer it seemed to be drawing to where we were. It happened so fast, before I could register anything, I heard Adie’s sharp warning in the back of my mind. “Duck!”
My wolf commanded.
My body instantly obeyed before asking any further questions. I leaned into my horse and, just on cue, stray arrows kept flying blindly in the air in every direction.
“Take cover!”
I heard Brielle’s voice beside me scream. Loud growls rang in the air as warriors began to shift into their wolves.
I jumped down from my horse, grabbing onto the short length of the sword that was on my horse as I managed to abscond the arrows heading my way. The arrows kept flying around, hitting a few of the warriors, who let out a growl in pain.
“The arrows are poisonous, laced with wolfsbane!”
A warrior shouted, warning us all, and an arrow grazed through my right arm. It wasn’t too deep, but my skin burned with pain from the effect of the poison.
The chaos that accompanied the flying arrows caused all the horses to flee for safety. Suddenly, many vicious-looking wolves emerged from the mountains to attack us.
They were in massive numbers, we were all surrounded.
Killian’s point of view
I couldn’t understand why I felt so uneasy. My mind constantly kept going straight back to Naomi.
I made sure Mason went with her to ensure there wouldn’t be any problems on the way. Mason was one of the best protectors in the pack, and I trusted him with my life. He was a loyal friend and wouldn’t hesitate to give his life for me. And I expected that same loyalty towards Naomi.
I knew she would do just fine with the meeting at the Diamond pack. Naomi’s one hell of a strong woman, and she has good leadership qualities. I was so proud of her.
I knew she was safe with both Mason and Brielle, but I couldn’t stop the nagging of my wolf, Ryker. It was as though he sensed she was in danger. and wanted me next to her desperately.
I couldn’t tell if he was serious or just wanted me away from Thea and next to my mate, Naomi.
I want the same right now. f**k. I should have gone with her. Rage and annoyance began pumping through my veins as I realized bitterly that I didn’t want to be here with Thea. It wasn’t only Ryker this time; I, as well, preferred to be in the company of Naomi.
My hand clenched hard on the quill pen in my grip. I groaned internally, placing my other hand against my temple as my head throbbed. A string of curses threatened to escape my lips as Thea’s voice kept filtering into my ears. For the first time, I hated the sound of her voice and her short chuckles.
Bloody hell.
What the f**k was wrong with me?
I dropped the pen in my hand on the journal I was working on, my amber eyes lazily falling on Thea, who was seated right opposite my chair in my office.
She has stuck by my side the whole of today. And now I am in dire need of some freedom. It wasn’t her fault though, I had brought this upon myself.
I watched how her lips moved nonstop. I didn’t even know what she was yapping about. I had stopped paying attention a long time ago. The only thought that occupied my mind was anything that had to do with my mate.
The restlessness of Ryker and me only increased with each f*****g second that ticked by. Naomi was becoming a drug to me, one that I was slowly getting addicted to, and that threatened both my peace of mind and my f*****g existence.
“Alpha,”
I heard faintly through the mind link. It was Brielle. Immediately, I leaned forward, alarmed. “Naomi is in danger.”
Her words sounded ragged through the mind link.
Fear quickly engulfed me, swallowing me whole. My heart hammered loudly against my chest as my brain tried to catch up with the emotions attacking me all at once.
I shot up from the chair. Thea followed my action and got up from her chair.
“What happened, Killian?”
My head pounded as my gaze swept over Thea without actually seeing her. All I could hear was Brielle’s words repeating in my head over and over. I struggled to stay focused as I tried to trace their location from the mind link, clinging to the weak connection from Brielle as I tried to find where they were.
They were in the southern mountains. f**k. It was far away from North Central. My fear quickly grew. There was no way I could get to them right on time. Even at my fastest, it’ll take a few hours. There was no time to waste.
I hurried to the door when Thea grabbed my arm.
“I have to go,”
I said, pulling away from her.
“But you promised to spend the day with me.”
She reminded him, grabbing my arm once more.
I was running out of patience to the point that if she grabbed me one more time I could snap at her.
“I am sorry,”
I said hoarsely, rushing out of the office without a second thought.
“Killian,”
I heard her call behind me, but I ignored her. Naomi was in danger, and that was the only thing on my mind. I had to get to her and bring her to safety before I completely went f*****g insane.
I mind-linked Morgan and Allen, informing them of the news. We had to get them immediately. I couldn’t connect to Mason. I had a bad feeling, but I tried not to think much. I might die.
