Chapter 37

Killian POV

I drove off the grounds quickly, noticing a shift in the attitude of the Gam ma Owen and Pack Alpha Aries as if they had suddenly realised who I was or someone was here and told them… But I didn’t stay there anymore. I was here to observe their security and pack development. So I don’t find any necessary points to stay. My wolf whined at the departure, seemingly quite fond of the boy I had left behind.

Sol decided to find a hotel approximately ten miles away in the human town and to return by foot the next morning.

I found myself further away than I had originally planned. Their guards kept a watchful eye on me until they believed I was far enough away. The best next step would be to go early in the morning in wolf form and observe to gather information about the alpha.

The alpha’s son, Ry, lingered in my thoughts. He seemed like a great kid, and my wolf took a keen interest in him. I felt the anger surge within my wolf when Aries pulled Ry away from me. The primal instinct was clear – my wolf desired nothing more than to rip off Aries’ n*eck. He wanted to protect that kid and I was confused by his protective behaviour towards the kid who I just met today.

After a few hours, I decided to call Rihanna, just to let her know that I would be staying over in a hotel for a night or two… I hadn’t really made any plan prior to coming, but now I knew I needed to find out more.

“Hello?”

“Rihanna, it’s me…”

“Killian, I miss you. Do you know how worried I have gotten as you didn’t call me…” she fainted over the phone to me.

“Where are you?”

“I am in a hotel in a human town, ten miles away. I will be returning the next morning,” I told her and she took a huge sigh of relief.

“They didn’t offer you a place. Killian I don’t think you should stay there anymore. What the point when that Alpha is not even interested in us…” she said but it feels like an excuse for me to return back to the pack.

“Rihanna, I know what I am doing. So you don’t have to decide it for me,” I

commanded strongly. She hummed a response and softly put down the phone from my curt reply.

Chapter 37

After talking to Rihanna, I decided to call Alejandro. I essentially reiterated what I had shared with Rihanna. Alejandro also provided me with updates on the pack, reassuring me that there was nothing to worry about aside from the thing that Rihanna was making the maids’ life unbearable.

“Killian!”

“Yes,”

“We had found the problem because of which we couldn’t able to get any alert call from any pack whenever it got attacked,”

“What is the reason,”

“Someone specialised is hacking our system so we don’t get any alert calls and can’t help the pack in time,” So it looks like the spy still is in my pack. So why did that girl tell lies to me? Who is she saving?

After Kiara left the pack after a few days I found the spy and to my surprise it was Vivian. One of the maids who works in the alpha house but before I could find the truth for doing this she had consumed wolfsbane dying right in front of me.

The next morning arrived in the blink of an eye. After having breakfast at the hotel. I chose to leave the jeep behind and continue on foot until I entered the pack’s surrounding woodland, where I could easily shift. Renowned for my tracking and fighting skills, I was confident that no one could hide from me, and I knew how to conceal my wolf effectively.

No matter how well a pack could conceal itself, once you know its location, it couldn’t escape the advancement in human technology.

I could utilise satellite maps to display the nearby places, identifying suitable gaps in security details. Unfortunately, even the Blood Stone pack, known for its secrecy, was surrounded by woodlands, offering me the perfect cover to elude their border control.

I spent most of the morning observing their training formation, noting who entered and exited the pack, and monitoring how frequently the guards switched their positions on gate patrol. Just then, I notice a car entering the pack borders. With my keen eyes, I could see that a man was driving the car and a woman was seated in the passenger seat.

I saw a little glimpse making me furrowed by brows in confusion from the side face she looked like… I brush the thought aside as the time is not to think about her…

I took a sideline at the edge of the pack, walking towards the field that seemed to be the back portion of the alpha house. I stood there for a few hours and that seemed unexciting because nothing happened in this area. No guard is watching here or they

wanted it to look like it….

Having gathered enough information about the pack, its security weaknesses, and other details, I planned to discuss this with Alejandro and Austin once I returned to my pack grounds. However, as I was about to leave, I heard a chuckle in the field and quickly hid behind a large tree.

I looked closely to see a little girl playing around as she was so busy enjoying that she didn’t notice and she tipped on her foot immediately reminding me of her…

A s ob left her l*ps and I wanted to go and soothe her pain away. What the hell is happening to me?

“Mummy!” she cried out.

I watched as a female ran towards her. She has the same burgundy hair but it was shortened

up to her shoulder length. I could only see her back but I knew she was the same woman who came with Aries. She reminds me of her and I didn’t want to go. As I stood and watched how she soothes the pain away from that little girl.

I stood watching how Aries walked to the duo as he stood closer to that woman. My wolf

that man into pieces. He k*ssed

was scratching inside me as he wanted to run a dr

the forehead of the little girl and how she smiled sweetly at him. I felt jealous…. Jealous of seeing his family…

I was confused by my wolf reaction. Why is he pulling my patience thread this early in the morning? Why is he affected so much seeing him closer to that woman and little girl?

I felt some familiarity with her… with both of them…. I heard many things about her… How she helped the alpha in developing the pack… How she helped cure the injured from the Ecl*pser pack. Even the alpha praised her for her ability to cure the injured with limited supplies. She mainly used herbal plants… I wanted to meet her… to see

her..

I shifted into my human wearing joggers which I have been carrying with me. I don’t want them to know about my presence. As I stare into the distance, the woman has her backside on me and that little girl’s features do look similar to her… That was when my phone vibrated. I curse as I hide behind the tree when the female turns to look at my side.

“Why are you calling now, Alejandro? I was close to finding…. I growled at Aiden through the phone when his next sentence made me freeze.

“Killian… Lucia….” It was, Austin and for the first time, he called my name… And I knew. the news was bad from the way his voice broke at the end.

Chapter 37

“What happened to her?”

“She met with an accident while returning from the meeting with the alpha of The Blood Moon Pack,”

And I felt like the air had been knocked out of my chest. I shifted into wolf form running through the woodlands to the roads.

My mind is buzzing as if it was clouded. How come this happened to her? I just talked to her yesterday. She was happy and now this happened…

I entered the Ecl*pser pack, and the guards bowed to me as I ran in the direction of the hospital. From the cars parked in the front hospital, I knew my beta and gam ma had arrived. Nickolai was sitting, and Jessica tried to console him….

“How is she?” I asked Alejandro, as both Austin and Nickolai were not in the condition. to tell me anything.

“I don’t know Killian. The doctor is still operating on her. We didn’t find her in good condition. And the doctor is not giving any positive response,” Alejandro whispered softly. My fist curled. How the hell did this happen to her?

“How did this happen? And, moreover, why is she alone…” I asked Alejandro.

“She said she wanted to go and meet Alpha Aiden. She said it was important to her….” Nikolai said, and my brows furrowed in confusion. What was so important to her was that she went alone.

I was not thinking straight. Yes, Aiden’s mate, Evelyn’s, who is the daughter of the Alpha of the Ecl*pser Pack. And Lucia has a close relationship with Aiden after the death of Kiara. But that still didn’t give her the right to go to another pack without her mate or even any guards or warriors with her.

“She was returning home when her car collided with another one, and the other car ran away, leaving her there to die, Killian. And if you ask me, it doesn’t look like an accident at all…” Alejandro said.

I don’t know what to say now, She has been attacked, but why? Is she linked with something I didn’t know? We waited in the lobby. Nikolai hadn’t left his place. I could. feel what he is feeling right now. When I saw Kiara’s burned b*dy in that lake house, I felt like I was torn in pieces. I was blaming myself for everything that happened to her.

I walked towards him, taking a seat next to him. He was a boring hole in the wall, and I could feel the anger he was radiating. So he had heard what Alejandro said.

“It is going to be okay, she will pull through this, Nickolai, she is the best warrior, and I know she won’t go down like this…” I tried to assure him, but I felt like my hands were bound by the silver chain.

First, that Rogue Alpha King, and now someone trying to kill Lucia? What is happening? And I felt like I was an alpha who could look after his pack security.

“I am sorry, Alpha King, but we don’t know when she will be able to wake up…

We ar going to keep her under observation for the next twenty hours, and then we will decide based on the signs she shows. The impact had hurt the left side of her brain…” the doctor explained.

“No! She’s going to wake up!” Nickolai shouted, grabbing the doctor by his collar.

“Nikolai…” I said quietly, pulling him back by his shoulder. I understood he was broken, but we have to find what actually is happening inside my pack or his…

“No Alpha…”

“I know, Nikolai, you have to get your grip yourself together…” I ordered this time in my alpha’s voice. I didn’t want him to lose his mind. They all bowed their heads in my command as I tried to put my wolf back down.

“Doctor, as you know, she is still a member of my pack. And I don’t want to hear any negative response from her.. Do anything you can do to keep her alive…” I instructed. firmly.

“Yes Alpha King,” the doctor responded quietly, bowing his head. “Well, I will give you all a moment with her,” He said before leaving.

The first one to rush inside was Nikolai followed by Austin and Jessica.

“Alejandro, we have to find out about this accident. It was now clear that Alpha was targeting my pack alone. He wanted something from me… And arrange a meeting with Aiden. I want to find the reason for her visit…” I commanded him, as he nodded his

head.

Is this linked to what happened with Kiara? Does that Rogue Alpha King have any other motive to do this?
