Alpha Killian

It grea o see you again, Caie" The voice called out from befind me.

He walked around me slowly stopping when he caught my gaze.

Damien smiled cruelly, ooking the same as e did st year.

"You" I sputtered, What do you want with me?" 'Damien smirked, "You got away, Claire." He leaned in close, but I refused to finch. 'No one gets away from me." i

His eyes werejust a feles asthey had always been. It was lie there was nolight inside of im,just an empty,darkroom.

"My mate's an Alpha, Damien- I spat. You made a big mistake.";

'Damien chuckied, Look'slie I wasn't the only one who changed. So vicious, Claire." He then shrugged, as if what I said held

little meaning. "We already know who your mate is." 1

"He will come for me, Damien." I growled. 1

'Damien smirked, pulling up a chair and stting down. "Don't you think we know that? We've had our sights set on Alpha Killan

Desmond for quite some time. Its funny irany that you, the only one who escaped me i his mate." Damien chuckled.; "You hunters are pathetic. I snapped at him, my blood boiling at the mention of Killian. You try and fight against something you know nothing about. Do you know how many of us there really are?" I growled.

Damien shrugged, "Once your mate dies at my hands your pathetic pack will come next. We have friends on our side, Claire."

He smirked.

I had silently made 2 decision in that moment. I had never ended someone's ife before, but I promised myself that Damien would be my first KL.

"Now, onto business-" Damien began, but his words were cut short. Something on my neck caught his attention and he threw

the chair across the room with 2 yell. "You f*****g idiots." He hissed, seething with rage. I could hear the scrawny one shuffle his feet, while the big one spoke up. "What did we do, boss?" The big one sounded confused.

Damien yanked my hair to the side, putting my neck on display. "She's marked you ****g idiots. Didnt I tellyou to find out if she's marked?"

I wen't to check, but she attacked me.* The scrawny one shrugged, not understanding the big deal. I rolled my eyes. He went to check? More like ty to sexvally assault me.

Damien walked around me and out of my sight. I heard a loud crack, like he had hit the scrawny one with something, The scrawny one went silent.

"If her and her mate are both marked, he'll be able to find her." Damien snapped, and I heard a thud s he kicked something. Damien walked back around to me, his eyes more murderous than ever.

"Claire, you're going to answer something for me." Damien got down to my level, oughly grabbing my chin i his hand. 'Did 'you mark your mate? Do not lie to me."

Tonly had a second to think my answer through, any longer and he would know lyrics was p to something. I kept my face angry and strong, but I allowed fear to seep through my gaze. I needed him to beleve I hadn't marked Kilian.

"Yes, et the word slip from my mouth just Itle too fast, "He's probably on his way now. You don't have much time left Damien❞

Iheld my breath as Damien scanned my face, his d""'d eyes settling on my own. A cruel smirk formed on his face. "You're ling, Claire." Damien cooed, his smirk il in place. 'Damien turned to the big guy and said something that made my blood run cold.

"Untie her" Damien grinned, his tongue running over his lis. I think it's about time we finished what was started year ago,

don'tyou?"

Ididn't put up a fight as the big one untied me, but the second I was free, I lunged at Damien. He didin't know it but I wasn't completely defenseless anymore.

Ifelt what strength Sierra had rush through me and I dragged my claws across Damien'sface, smiling as hs blood splattered against my face,

"Stupid b*h." Damien roared, swinging at me but I jumped off of him just n time.

Iwas grabbed from behind by the muscular guy, and winced as something sharp pierced my neck. I groaned at the familiar fire that coursed through my veins.

"You idiot. I told you to keep her alive not let her get her strength back." Damien shouted at the other man.

'There was silence for a few moments. "You can just take her now. There's enough wolfs bane in her system to keep her docile."

"No, I don't want her to tune me out. I want her alert. I want her to feel everything." Damien snapped.

Acellphone rang, cutting through the slence. My vision doubled and then tripled, but I could stil make out the words that left Damien's lips. "Alright, $**t" Damien snapped, slamming down his phone.

"Boss?" The big guy sounded confused.

'Damien sighed infrustration, "Our source tells me the Alpha knows where she is, He's on his way. We need to leave unti the others show up and we can move her." His voice was firm and my heart skipped a beat.

"How did he find out? She hasn't marked him." The big guy replied.

Damien growled, "Blake, The f*****g idiot let it sli. He'l be d❞d soon enough anyway, i he isn't already."

"Take her back to her cell" Damien snapped.

Ihardly felt the rough earth as ❘ was dragged against t, only regaining focus when I was tossed into my cell

Iclosed my eyes and let the darkness take over.

My eyes snapped open at the sound of distant thudding. I knew I hadn'tslept for long, the flames stil licking at my veins.

Icould hear multiple sets of oot steps and I shot up into a siting position. The firelicked at my veins greedl, but I didn't

care. I pressed myself against the bars, Istening to the heavy footfalls coming my way.

My heart was ready to break from my chest, the only thing on my mind was Killan.

"Killian." His name left my lips as the thundering foot steps closed in.
