Kiara’s Point of View

“Why are you here?” Killian growled at Aries, questioning his presence. A smirk appeared on Aries’ face as he raised an eyebrow. I sighed, realising that things were not going to unfold the way I had hoped.

“I live here with Kiara. You don’t expect me to leave my pack members alone after all the chaos caused by your action,” he growled at him, arms tightly folded across his chest.

“I have already provided you another room,”

“That’s where my Beta resides. I’ve shared countless nights with Kiara. These things don’t bother me,” he stated before heading towards the room where I stood, opening the bedroom door, and entering.

Killian glanced at me, his intense grey eyes revealing a mix of sadness and anger. Why does Aries’ presence affect him so much? I didn’t question him when he was with Rihanna until now, so he has no right to question me. He had lost those rights.

“Good night, Killian. I will come in the morning to get the books and talk to Nickolai about Lucia transferring here,” I whispered gently, turning away. As I reached for the door kn ob, Killian’s warm hand gripped my arm, forcing me to face him. His eyes flickered as he struggled to control his wolf… And da mn I am finding it hot. And I couldn’t help but find it intriguing. A jealous Killian – this is the first time I’ve seen him.

like this.

“Why does he always have to be around you and my daughter?” Killian growled, his powerful aura filling the corridor.

“Killian, I already told you that I’m not going to push Aries out of their lives. If you want to be close to your kids, you have to accept that Aries is a part of their lives too.” I replied strongly to him not budging with the way his eyes flicker between stormy grey and amber red.

“You’ve got to be kidding me, Kiara. I am their father.”

“And I didn’t say otherwise. I just told you to resolve whatever issues you have with Aries because as long as my kids want him around, I can’t do anything about it,” I glared back at him.

“Kiara, I know what I did in the past can’t be forgotten or forgiven, but could you please give me a chance to prove myself?” He whispered softly, and I could feel the truthfulness in his voice.

“Why is Rihanna still around you, Killian? If you truly wanted a chance with me or with our kids, why is she still here?” I questioned boldly, anticipating an immediate response. However, none came, causing my stomach to churn.

My chest tightened, and though I couldn’t pinpoint the reason for my distress, the memories of rejection and the pain I endured resurfaced. I suffered immensely after her return, as he didn’t believe me. Now, he seeks a second chance with me solely because I carry his heirs.

“Killian, I won’t prevent you from seeing your children. I won’t run away from you either. However, don’t expect me to forgive you,” I asserted firmly.

“Good night, Killian,” I utter, acknowledging that this conversation is leading nowhere. Rihanna will still be his lover, a lover who played a role in our separation which he doesn’t want to accept.

I said before returning to the room. I leaned against the door, hearing his growl before he walked away. Glancing around the room, I noticed that Aries wasn’t in the room.

I walked toward the bathroom, listening to the sound of the running shower.

I approached the double bed where Hanna was peacefully asleep. For the past few minutes, I’ve been observing her sweet breaths, the gentle fluttering of her eyelids as she dreams, and the way she hugs her teddy bear, melting my heart. I made a silent promise to myself that once we have Ry back, I’ll also spend moments watching him sleep.

Aries emerged from the bathroom, steam filling the room, and I found myself staring at him. His upper b*dy was exposed, and his new grey joggers hung low to his hip giving me a good view.

After Hanna’s return, Aries became more protective than usual. The room beside mine was taken by his beta, so he had been sleeping on the couch in this room for the past two weeks. However, I think Killian misunderstood the situation…

“Is he gone?” Aries inquired while drying his hair with a white towel, tossing it onto the chair beside the couch.

“Yes. I need to have a conversation with him,” He nodded, but there was an unsatisfied look in his eyes. There is sadness in his eyes. I feel sorry for him, but there’s nothing more I can offer… Yet, I don’t want to lose him…. He has become a shield for me over these past few years.

But Aries can’t be equated to Killian… Killian is someone who stirs up a storm inside me, even when I believed I was over him. Deep down, I recognize that I still harbour feelings for him… or perhaps it’s because he hasn’t acknowledged my rejection. Everything is tangled up and confusing right now.

Even if our relationship is irreparable, I can’t shake off the turmoil in my

mind.

“Killian, remember Lucia, Beta Nicolai’s mate from the Ecl*pser pack?” I inquired. He furrowed his brow. Glancing at him, I noticed he was staring at me, a perplexed expression on his face, as if he had just seen a ghost or something.

“What?” I inquire.

You called me Killian,” he says, looking down. My heart thumped inside my chest. Did.

“I… Sorry, it could be possible because of everything that is going on right now,” I say, trying to hide the redness spreading across my cheeks. He raises an eyebrow. He is clearly annoyed, as evident from his expression.

“What about the Ecl*pser Pack Beta Mate?” He asked and I sighed as I don’t have to add. another lie to this.

“You know I have known her from this pack. She is the sister of Ga mma Austin of this pack.” I said as I tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear.

“Yes, what happened to her?” He asked.

“She met with an accident just a few days before we were kidnapped. She has gone into a coma. I quietly say

“I see. I am sorry about that,” he said as he stood up and went to the cupboard, pulling a quilt and a pillow to make a bed on the couch. I frowned because I found his attitude too casual.

“I need to find out who was behind the accident,” I said, looking at him.

“What do you want me to do?” He asked, turning to look at me, and I could feel he

wasn’t interested in this conversation.

“If you can find out who caused this, I am indebted to her, Aries. I need to at least do something for her,” I whispered softly.

“Okay, I will send my men there as well,” he said, and I nodded my head. I was about to lie down.

“Were you going to forgive him? Are you going back to Killian?” he asked, and I froze on the spot

“L…”

“Kiara how can you forget the things he had done to you. The death of your parents, who destroyed your pack. Just because he is the father of your children you would

forget everything?,” He asks, clenching his jaw. Hurt is evident in his away for a moment before meeting his gaze again.

and I glance

“I haven’t forgotten any da mn things, Aries, but what I do is up to me,” I said. Glaring at him.

“Don’t make mistakes, Kiara,” he says.

“I haven’t made a mistake, Aries,” I said, taking a deep breath. I didn’t imagine having this conversation with him, “I think we should stop talking about it. Please take care of Hanna. I’ll come back. I needed some fresh air,” I said to him before getting up from the bed. I covered Hanna properly with the quilt and started to leave the room when Aries came near me after getting up from the couch.

“Kiara, da mn it, look, I’m sorry, but seeing you close to him makes me jealous. Your know I see you more than a friend, more than a pack member. You should understand what I’m feeling right now.” He said as he stared at me.

‘I’m sorry, Kiara, I was just scared. Scared that I would lose you to him again…” he said, reaching for my hand. I quickly pulled it away.

“Not now, Aries,” I said, walking out of the bedroom. I left the Alpha Guest House. Tears welled up in my eyes, and I wiped them away.

I didn’t realise when I was inside the mansion, but something inside me urged me to go to Killian. I should have taken Hanna with me, but she seemed calm and needed the sleep. Dark circles were appearing under her eyes from recent restless nights.

She didn’t say it, but I believe she was delaying sleep as much as possible. She wanted to feel Ry through the twin bond before succumbing to exhaustion. She wanted to help us find Ry and that little effort she put in was enough for me..

I cautiously stepped into the mansion, carefully avoiding the floorboard that always creaked under the carpet. As I reached the landing, to my utter shock, I encountered Rihanna coming out of Killian’s room, wearing a revealing dress.

She had on one of his shirts, a silky blue one. His favourite and more importantly the one I gifted to him on his birthday. To make matters worse, she had no bottoms on, just lace panties peeking out slightly from under the shirt.

Her hair was tousled, with that se xy bedhead look, and I didn’t need a rocket science degree to realise they not only shared the bed tonight but likely engaged in S**ual activity, as I suspected. What could I expect from Killian? A few hours ago he was asking for a second chance from me. Now he is looking for a woman to quince his desires.

She approached her bedroom door and only then noticed me on the landing, watching her. She acted flustered, embarrassed, though Rihanna doesn’t get embarrassed easily.

It wouldn’t surprise me if she heard me stirring and decided to catch me on the landing.

I shouldn’t have come here. I turned and walked out of the mansion.
