“Well, didn’t you say you wanted to get far away from the forest?” He questioned
“Yeah,” I said, answering his question.
“Then don’t worry about anything, and just trust me.” He smiled at me, nudging his head right. “The exit is this way,” he said as he started walking, and I followed.
We had been walking for less than an hour, or maybe more. As we strode, I told him all the stories about my mate and his lover. while all he did was laugh. He always found something funny about what I said. I wonder what it was actually.
“Oh, this route seems familiar,” I said, taking in how eerily familiar this path seemed. “Are you sure we are on the right path?”
“Yeah, very sure. I use this path all the time. It’s a shortcut, you see. ” He turned to me, chuckling. “My brother and I used to run through here back in the days,” he said, sounding a bit sad at the last words.
“I didn’t know you had a brother?” I inquired, instantly realizing that I knew nothing about him. Apart from the fact that he is a werewolf and goes by the name of Morgan, I knew nothing more about him. But for some strange reason, I trusted him.
“You didn’t know because you never asked. Oh, Sheila, there is so much more that you don’t know about me,” Morgan said with a dangerous smirk.
“Why don’t you tell me about your brother?” I asked, wanting to know more.
“We haven’t been in touch for a very long time,” Morgan said, with a gloomy expression.
I was about to ask him a very important question: “Why?” Why had he and his brother stopped talking? What happened? But my questions were brought to a complete standstill when I saw the high decking of the castle roof. Fuck. It was Killian’s. I couldn’t possibly be back to the Crescent North Pack.
“No! No! No!” I gasped in disbelief.
Why in the bloody hell did we come back here?
Morgan said we were taking a shortcut out of the forest, but instead he led me back here. To my mate, but why?
A crazed thought popped up. Was he sent by Killian to find me and to lead me back to him?
“You lied to me. All this while, you knew who my mate was, did Killian send you?” I sparked, angrily, getting mad at myself for trusting a stranger.
“As if. I could care less about Killian.” He chuckled but wasn’t smiling. He must have noticed that I was on to his treachery. “I did this for you. Sheila, I have a very good explanation for this. Trust me,” Morgan quickly let out, while looking at me.
“You bloody swine! You just tricked me and you expect me to trust you. How foolish do you think I can be? ” I yelled at him. The bitter and painful feeling of being betrayed stung me hard like a bitch.
I turned to leave before someone found me. But quickly, Morgan gripped my arm.
“Not too fast little wolf, I’m only doing all this for your good, so would you please calm the hell down?” He tickled his brow, before sighing. “Please,” Morgan pleaded, placing his right hand in his thick black hair.
He claims that he did it all for my good. Liar! I don’t understand how taking me back to my mate that I ran away from was for my good.
It didn’t take too long, and we were surrounded by Killian’s pack warriors. About twenty of the Crescent North Pack wolves completely circled us, including Rowan, Mason, and Allen. I was trapped. There was no escape from this one. Only the goddess knew what was going to happen next.
I could see Killian approaching us with an angry scowl. If it were to be possible for looks to kill, then I bet I would be dead and bleeding all across the ground. He looked pissed as he stood before me. What was going to become of me now?
“Sheila!” He growled, but as soon as his gaze fell upon Morgan, my companion, he fell silent, and his face portrayed what I could only discern as confusion and shock.
Why was he shocked to see Morgan? Didn’t Killian send him to bring me back?
I looked at Morgan, who stood beside me, and he had a knowing smirk on.
“Hello brother, miss me?” Morgan said with a smile, and all Killian responded with was a low-key growl. He didn’t seem pleased to see Morgan.
Oh, good goddess, Killian and Morgan were brothers. That would explain the strange familiarity I saw in Morgan; they both shared the same blood running through their veins and a resemblance too. It’s just been clarified. That would make Killian the brother Morgan spoke about; the same one he hasn’t spoken to for so long.
“Brielle!” Killian called out for Brielle without taking his fixed gaze off Morgan, who also did the same thing.
Brielle walked forward “Yes, Alpha Killian?” She was looking at him.
“Escort Sheila back to her chamber and make sure she remains there. Is that clear? ” Killian said, his gaze still unmoved from his brother.
Brielle moved to my side, leading me forward, her eyes looking as though she was trying to convey a message to me but couldn’t right now. I followed her without complaining, sparing one last look at my mate and his brother.
Oh, fuck! This wouldn’t end well for me.
Killian’s Point Of View
Sheila had been missing for hours, and no one had seen her leave the castle, but that was all over when Allen mind-linked me, informing me that my mate, Sheila, had been found.
“Mate has returned,” Ryker said. I could feel him growl in excitement. It was a great relief that she was found. I don’t know what I would have done if she hadn’t been found, or worse, if something bad had happened to her. I immediately rushed to meet her.
There she stood. She looked really tired and her brown hair was a mess, but she looked pretty. I felt the urge to pull her in for a long hug, but those thoughts completely went up in flames as soon as I saw who her companion was. It was Morgan. My little brother
He has returned, but why? And most importantly, what in hell was he doing with my mate? A surge of anger took over me as I walked towards both of them, my gaze unmoved from Morgan.
“Hello brother, miss me?” He spoke with a smirk plastered on his face. For reasons I really wish I could forget, we haven’t seen each other in a long time. We needed to talk, alone with no interruptions. My gaze fell on Sheila who looked surprised to find out Morgan and I were brothers.
“Brielle!” I called out, and she answered almost instantly. “Escort Sheila back to her chamber and make sure she remains there. Is that clear? ” I ordered, while Brielle nodded, taking Sheila away. We all returned back to the castle, and now it was only me and Morgan that remained.
“Why are you back?” I asked, cutting the bull shit and getting straight to the point. He must have returned for a reason.
“Killian, your brother finally returned, and the first thing you ask is, ‘Why am I back?’ Don’t be so cruel,” he said, with a smile.
“That wasn’t answering my question, Morgan,” I sounded, getting annoyed with his response.
“I came back to be around my brother. Why? Am I not allowed to do that anymore? ” He laughed, but I found it hard to believe he just came back after all this time just to see me. There was something else he had in mind, as there always was. I still can’t forget all that happened the last time he was here.
“What were you doing with my mate?” I asked, wondering why the hell he was around her.
“Your mate? That is quite different from what she told me,” He had an amusing smirk on. It was irritating. But I couldn’t help but wonder what Sheila must have said about me. I sighed, knowing it will be all, but good.
“I ran into her in the forest, and then we were attacked by a bunch of vicious rogue wolves. She is really too kind but very angry at you. What did you do to her to cause her to run away from you the first chance she got? ” Morgan said with a laugh. He sure was having fun.
“That’s nothing you should be worried about. Just stay away from her. Is that clear?” I said, not wanting to discuss my mate with him, but, for what it is worth, I was thankful for him being around to protect her.
“Sure, whatever you say, brother,” he said, “I’m really tired from my travels. I need time to rest now.”
“I mean it, Morgan.” I warned him.
“Yeah, whatever” Morgan said, leaving my office. I took a deep breath, heading to Sheila’s chamber.
