Chapter 125
She''s point of view
I was in my chamber. And I just couldn''t fall asleep after my conversation with Leonardo. I couldn''t stop
thinking of the so many possibilities that Thea could have a lover and her child wasn''t Killian''s.
And I wished that was the case. But I only sounded like a mate who was trying to refute the obvious
truth that another woman was expecting her mate''s child.
That was exactly how my newfound theory and suspicion sounded to me. But I didn''t care how I
sounded. I had always trusted my gut feeling, and I always knew something about Thea was off. She
was capable of doing anything to remain in Killian''s pack and keep us apart. And I gave her what she
always wanted by leaving the pack.
Valerie was right. I shouldn''t let her get everything. I sighed, falling on the bed. My eyes fell on Killian''s
letter that was on the bed beside me.
I reached for it, pulling it open. I felt a tug in my chest as my eyes began to carry each word. I couldn''t
fight the pain that enveloped me as I could feel Killian''s pain embedded in each word. I tossed the
paper on the bed as soon as I was done reading, my eyes were covered with tears that I couldn''t hold
back.
I pulled my eyes open and I knew I had to go back. I had to be with Killian and I had to somehow find
out if my suspicion about Thea was right.
I curled up on the bed, with my eyes awake, thinking of Killian as I prayed for the arrival of dawn. It was
better like this than having to fall asleep, knowing I would dream about someone else.

Killian''s point of view
I was at the door of Thea''s chamber. I pulled it open gently without knocking, finding her sleeping
peacefully underneath the covers. I closed the door behind me, my eyes searching around the neatly
arranged chamber. It was going to be difficult to find anything here without Thea knowing.
I walked around the room, ncing at every corner, hoping to remember something I had seen with her
the first day the goddess had cursed me to make our paths collide.
My eyes fell on her dressing table and I went over there, before I could take a look at her drawer, I felt a
stir in the bed, and the rhythm of her sleeping heartbeat changed. She was awake now.
I dived my hands into my pockets, ncing at the items on her table, knowing she was watching me.
This woman just keeps getting strange, and this only increases my suspicion that she was dangerous.
I turned around and she was fixed in a sleepy position and her longshes were pressed close. I
sauntered to the bedside, watching her pretend to be asleep for a while before turning for the door.
I was almost at the door when I heard her soft call, making me stop and turn around.
"Killian," she called again, pulling up from the bed a little.
"You are awake, I didn''t mean to wake you up," I blended with whatever drama she was going for.
"What are you doing here?" She asked, scrutinizing me cautiously.
"What else? To see you," I replied, taking slow steps toward the bed.
Thea positioned herself in a sitting position, intentionally adjusting her white velvet nightdress so that
one could see a detailed outline of her breasts and everything she wanted to show.
"That''s sweet, Killian," she released one of her smiles that had sessfully blinded me all this time,
making me believe she was the purest of hearts when she was only a devil incarnate herself.
"How are you doing?" I asked, finally next to her.
"Great, just a little sad you don''te around often. Sometimes, your child misses you," she muttered,
pulling her eyes down to her stomach.
I could feel Ryker log himself out from the surface. I took a seat on her bed, my hand pulled up to her
cheek, caressing it softly. Thea leaned into my touch.
"Oh, Killian you have no idea how much I missed you," she whispered, as my hand moved to the back
of her neck, getting lost in her long ebony hair.
Thea ced a hand on my chest, leaning closer to me, her lips were aiming for mine.
"Thea," I pulled up from the bed, shoving my hand into my pants.
"I am sorry, Killian," she looked away from my gaze, and I saw a tear slip down from her eyes.
Fucking hell, how couldn''t I see past this pretense. Suddenly, I felt rage in my bones. I turned my gaze
away from her before I lost it.
"I know things haven''t been great between us, but you are expecting my pup, Thea, and I want both of
you to be fine," I said to her, and she smiled.
"Me too, Killian. I hate it whenever we fight."
"I want you to be careful, the warriors have been dealing with some unusual movement in the pack''s
territory. Some unknown wolves have been trying to break in, and I am guessing it''s from your previous
pack," I paused, watching her reaction.
"How can you be so sure, it could be unrted to my past," she said, counting her words, regarding me
deeply.
"Orpletely rted to it. Remember, Thea," I drew closer to her on the bed. "You are now carrying
my pup; your safety is my priority."
"Killian," she smiled, pulling out from the bed. "I love it when you get protective over me. But that
asshole of an Alpha doesn''t even know where I am."
"How can you be so sure, Thea, if he wanted you dead, he wouldn''t stop until he found you," I was
getting annoyed.
"But I have been under the raider since my arrival here, he can''t find me. Don''t worry too much," she
muttered, and before I could respond, she began to strip naked, her eyes never leaving mine while her
lips held a smile. This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
In a second, the nightwear covering her body fell to the floor and Thea was standing a few feet away
from where I was positioned on the bed,pletely naked.
"What are you doing, Thea?" I asked her and she shrugged, naughtily.
"Tell me you don''t feel anything, seeing me like this?" She moved closer to the bed, and I was up from
it, sidestepping her.
"I do. I do feel something seeing you like this and believe me you don''t want to know what it is," I
stalked to the door.
"Killian, please don''t go. I just miss being with you. I miss how we were," she sounded, picking up her
night dress from the floor, and removing a brooch from it.
My eyes followed her action. I haven''t seen that brooch before, but it is quite old. I could feel my heart
drum loudly in my ears. She dropped it on her dressing table, grabbing a silken robe from her clothes
rack.
I moved closer to the dressing table, ncing at the brooch. It looked old. It had a unique design with
small star-shaped crystal stones.
"Yeah. Believe me, I do too. I miss how we were. We are expecting our pup, Thea, I want things to
improve between us," I said, standing in front of the dressing table, so close that I could grab the
brooch.
Tears welled up in Thea''s eyes, and she hurled herself closer, crashing herself against my body in a
hug. I took the opportunity, and quickly swiped the brooch, diving my hand into my pocket.
"That''s enough, Thea," I pulled away from her, turning for the door. "I have to go."
"Please, Killian stay a little longer," she pleaded. "You could help me shower."
"Another time, Thea," I said over my shoulder, moving to the door. I couldn’t contain the tion
bubbling within me. I had managed to get a strand of Thea''s hair earlier, and now I had something that
might just work in knowing who this woman was.
I reached for the door and stepped out, jamming it close from behind. I couldn''t stop the smile that was
so eager to appear. I felt so happy.
I swerved around and froze on my spot as my amber eyes fell on the face of the woman I had been
dying to see for days now.
"She," I gasped, shocked, confused, and most of all extremely happy. She was right in front of me,
She was back.
I began to move closer to her but stopped abruptly when I realized where we were at. I had just
stepped out from Thea''s chamber, and She was standing right there at the door. She could have
heard every word I muttered in there just so I could get what I hade for.
She''s blue eyes moved from me to the door, and returned to me, holding no emotion at all.
"She," I called her name again, softly, hoping she didn''t hear anything, and even if she did, she
wouldn''t get mad but trust me.
