    Chapter 51 Fifty-One


    She''s point of view


    Finally, we made it back home, to our territory. I could feel the tension ease up around us as everyone


    sighed in relief.


    We approached the castle. Many of the pack members and warriors crowded around. Their eyes held


    relief to have everyone back safely.


    Kaleb, Jax, Nate, and some warriors rushed closer to us, embracing Killian.


    Ria rushed to me, embracing me while some warriors and members surrounded me. It really touched


    me to know they were worried about me. I noticed some of them were truly relieved to have me back,


    but they kept a safe distance from me, especially the males, probably because of Killian, who glued


    himself next to me.


    Suddenly, a high-pitched scream sounded from the castle doors, gaining everyone''s attention.


    "Killian!"


    I turned just in time to see Thea rush out staring at Killian as if she didn''t believe he was right there


    before her eyes. I don''t know why, but her expression seemed all fake, as though she had rehearsed it


    multiple times before stepping out.


    I felt my spine stiffen as she ran straight into Killian''s arms, holding him tightly like I wasn''t even next to


    him.


    Ipletely lost it. Adie was growling angrily in my head, wing her way out; if only she''d juste


    out, and we would give Thea exactly what she deserved.


    "I was so worried about you," Thea said.


    I felt angrier than I ever have. Usually, whenever Thea was with Killian, I always tried to bear the pain


    and look away, but today, I felt rage and a certain possessiveness that was a second away from rising


    to the surface.


    I felt everyone''s eyes on me. They all wanted to see my reaction to Thea in Killian''s arms, but through it


    all, my eyes remained on Killian, as his deep amber eyes turned on me.


    Killian cleared his throat abruptly.


    His hands that were at his sides pulled up to Thea, but instead of wrapping his hands around her like


    he normally does, he gently pulled her away, making me smile. His eyes were now on her.


    "I am fine. There''s no need to worry." Killian removed his hands from her body, his eyes shing on


    mine briefly, before moving to the warriors. "We should all wash up and rest. Thest few hours have


    been exhausting." He said, instructing Ria to escort me in while he left with Morgan, Allen, and Mason.


    I was about to leave with Ria, but I found Thea''s heated eyes on me. I nced her way, and she was


    staring at me intensely.


    "Everyone has been worried about Killian." She blocked my path. "He almost lost his life because of


    you. Do you know what that means for the pack? If something had happened to him, everyone would


    suffer the same fate as well."


    I sighed, shaking my head. "I could exin this to you, but there''s no way you''ll ever be able to


    understand the bond Killian and I share. He came after me because I am his mate, the only one that


    has his heart." I paused, taking in Thea''s surprised stare. She probably didn''t expect me to talk back to


    her.


    Her brown eyes sparkled with rage and a little confusion as if something was utterly surprising. Well,


    that wasn''t far-fetched from the truth. Something indeed has changed. I had. I had finallye to my


    senses. It was time to draw a clear line between Thea and me. She had deluded herself for far too


    long, and I will ensure she''s aware of exactly why she''s here and what she meant to Killian and the


    pack. She''s here only for the curse and nothing more.


    "Listen to me, slut. Don''t fool yourself into thinking Killian cares about you." Thea began, but I cut her


    off with augh.


    Her brow furrowed as she pondered what I found amusing and hrious.


    "You know what, I think you''ve been deluding yourself, thinking you have a ce in Killian''s heart and


    in this pack." I smiled. "You are only here because of the curse, Thea. And that''s it. As soon as your


    purpose here is fulfilled, I swear to the goddess, you will be out of this pack and out of Killian''s life." I


    held a smile for her, side-stepping her as Ria and I walked through the castle doors, heading for my


    chamber.


    "Oh, my goddess, She I have never seen you that furious, especially with Thea." Ria rushed in-


    between with augh, her hands linking with my arm.


    I simply smiled. "I only told her what she needed to hear," I said to Ria, swerving to her. "Did anything


    happen while we were away?" I queried, as we took a turn into the hallway, heading to my chamber.


    "Not at all. Everyone was busy worrying about you and Alpha Killian." Ria chimed sharply before


    snapping her fingers as if suddenly remembering something.


    "What is it?" I spoke quickly, my eyes were on her.


    "Shoot! I almost forgot. When patrollingst night, Jax and some warriors caught a spy within our


    territory." She informed me


    My brows furrowed. "A rogue?"


    Ria shook her head. "No. But I have no idea which pack he belongs to. The warriors locked him up in


    the dungeons and have been torturing him sincest night." She paused, her eyes suddenly holding


    fear. "Everyone is worried though. The warriors think the spy has been hiding in the mountains within


    our territory for a long time."


    "What?" I was left speechless. "How is that possible?"


    "I don''t know. I guess he was pretty silent. But that''s not even what''s worse; it seems during the time


    he''s been hiding in the mountains he found out about the curse."


    "How can that be?"


    "Most probably the time when the Alpha went on a rampage, if he had been in our territory then, there''s


    absolutely no way he wouldn''t have noticed anything."


    I ced a hand over my lips. This was bad. The truth about Killian''s curse has been hidden from the


    world. If this spy knows about the curse, that means whoever sent him may know about it as well.


    As we reached my chamber, the first thing I went for was a rxing shower. After that, Ria was sweet


    enough to bring some food over for me.


    We chatted as I ate through my food. When I was done, I fell asleep from exhaustion.


    By the time I woke up, it was already nightfall. I got out of bed and looked around the castle for Killian.


    But I couldn''t find him. The helpers informed me he was in his office.


    I made my way straight to Killian''s office. I reached for the door as soon as I was there. I pulled it open,


    finding Killian in the office. He was with Jax and Allen. They just concluded a meeting. Jax and Allen


    lowered their heads at me before exiting through the door.


    I shut it tightly, my blue eyes falling on Killian. He looked terrible, still wearing clothes from our journey.


    It seemed like he hadn''t even been to his chamber or taken a rest yet. I walked closer to his table,


    noticing his pale face and worried eyes.


    "What''s wrong?" I asked, moving around his table to his chair. I could see the fear and worry all over


    him.


    As soon as I stopped before him, Killian pulled me closer, wrapping his arms around my waist with his


    head resting on my stomach.


    I ced my hand on his silken blonde hair. "What happened?" I asked again.


    "Nothing. It''s just—" He stopped talking, inhaling my scent. "A spy was caught in our territory, and it


    seems like he knows a lot about us." Killian dug me deeper into him.


    "About the curse?" I muttered. He pulled away a little, his deep amber eyes peering up at me.


    "Yeah, though he still remains adamant in admitting anything yet."

    "Do you know which pack he belongs to?" I asked.


    Killian shook his head. "No. It seems he just went rogue. He doesn''t have the scent of any pack or the


    stench of a rogue yet. So, it''s difficult to know exactly where he came from. But we will find out. What


    worries me more is knowing that someone out there knows about the curse. That isn''t good. And it will


    put everyone in the pack in danger."


    I held him tightly. I could feel his pain. Killian looked so worried. I ced a hand on his cheek,


    caressing it gently.


    He leaned into my touch, and I lowered myself into his arms, pressing my lips to his.


    Killian''s arms covered mepletely, kissing me back.


    I pulled away to meet his gaze. "Don''t worry, we will figure it out," I said assuring. I had no idea how


    things would work out, but I was sure as hell willing to help out. The only question that seemed to bug


    me was who could have sent that spy here into Killian''s territory?
