Chapter 103
Killian''s point of view
"Yes, she does, and it''s no other than your worst enemy. It''s Kaiser ck. That bastard is your mate''s
lover,"
I was frozen. My body waspletely numb to all emotions.
My amber eyes never shifted from Thea, as hers held mine intensely, watching me so closely.
It took a second before the words stopped echoing within the corner walls of my head. And it was just
then I realized how absurd it was and how stupid it was for me to even use my mate of something
so stupid, even worse with a fucking ck.
I knew She too well. Even though I knew there was something she was not telling me, this wasn''t it.
It couldn''t be it. Those words of Thea were nothing but lies.
"Thea," I called her name, thinking deeply. If it was someone else that had rammed into my office,
spilling this utter rubbish, I would have had their heart ripped out the second those words were made
about my mate. But it was Thea. The least I could do was let her keep her life.
"What is it, Killian?" She leaned forward, so eager to hear my next words. Her sharp brown eyes
gauged me, curiously.
"Get out of my office," 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 tosh 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 She 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 She''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 fucking 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 toote
when you find out the many other secrets that bitch 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 fucking lies.
I trusted She 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 thest 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 havee 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 ce, 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 m shut, and the silence around me enveloped me. I was alone with my thoughts. I
fought hard to forget Thea''sst words to me but I just couldn''t. Something about her words was true. I
knew that much.
There was certainly something between She 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. Fuck, 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. She 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 thesest 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 ck
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 She 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 being from. I followed the scent
in the night''s darkness, leading me deeper into the woods.
From a far distance, I got a nce 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 ced 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 particr 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 She 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 ck.
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 She''s betrayal. My very own mate had betrayed me.
