Killian POV
As I sat alone in my office room, the weight of the past pressed down on me. Regret and failure echoed in my thoughts- I failed to be the mate Kiara desired, to put faith in her, to bring her back, to save her. The remorseful; memories haunted me, and I couldn’t escape the gnawing guilt.
I tried calling her many times. I wanted to talk to her but she was the one who closed the door on me. The regret I was feeling was making my wolf out of control some of the time.
That was when I heard her high heels rushing along the wooden floored hallway and another wave of frustration built up in me. The relationship between Rihanna and me is deteriorating day by day. My wolf now a days couldn’t control his anger whenever she was near him.
She was responsible. Because of her, we are alone. He could feel the pain and I wanted to know why he hated her. After all, when we were young he was the one who liked Rihanna first. Now he didn’t even want to bathe an eye at her..
“Good morning, Killian,” Rihanna greeted. I knew it was her without having to look at her. And I wasn’t anticipating her visit at this hour, nor was very pleased to see her.
“Why are you here?” I asked as I picked up any file just to keep this conversation short. She was the another reason why my father hated me the most.
When he saw her again in the mansion he was about to kill her if I was not there to save her. That was the day when he made me regret that I had made a grave mistake by making Kiara leave the pack.
I too was surprised by the coldness I had started to feel for her. “I had reminded you so many times to knock before entering my room,” I said.
A smile fell off her l*ps at my cold response. But I don’t care. After what she did to Kiara I took the title of Luna from her. That was the only punishment she should deserve. Now there is no Luna in the pack. That place should always be Kiara’s.
“But it is me, Killian. I don’t need to knock, do I?” she said, her voice sounding sultry.
When I look back to my mistake the first one would be me appointing Rihanna to the Luna position. She possessed a remarkable ability to disconnect emotionally from. situations. She had a different mind-set than any normal female. She is indifferent to concerns about the innocent bystanders…
She only knew strategic focus on her ultimate goal and the most effective route to

achieve it. She was the complete opposite of Kiara.
Kiara, she cared for others in a way I didn’t quite grasp. She talked with my council leader, aiming to stop any fights that could harm us all. She never pushed herself into. things. She waited to be asked to join private pack talks. The council listened to her ideas and took them seriously. Often, she fixed problems with just a quick phone call.
I didn’t understand why Kiara acted this way, but her caring approach and smart solution made her a valuable part of our pack. She has done her job as a Luna which I never really had expected. The enthusiasm I saw in that girl. How she was helping the members and looking after their needs reminded me of Kiara.
“Killian, would you tell me what I did so wrong that you’re not bothering to talk to me. Is it because I came to the Ecl*pser Pack unannounced?” She asked, coming to my chair.
“Rihanna, when will you start following my orders? You are not Luna anymore and I don’t want to confuse the council if you try to mingle in every situation which doesn’t require your presence,” I said, glaring at her.
“I thought you needed a support Killian that is why I came,” She said looking down on her lap.
“Rihanna, I have work to do. Could you please leave me alone,” I said, avoiding eye contact because if I looked up at her it would make me feel sympathy for her which I don’t want. As even after whatever she did. I can’t forget the girl who stood by my side when my mother left me.
“Okay,” she said before leaving the room.
I vaguely remember when I got to know that it was not Aiden’s fault. I had gone to visit. the pack or I wanted to bring her back only to find that pack burnt to the ashes. I was late but I was still able to save Aiden… That was the first pack Rogue Alpha King destroyed making my wolf angry.
When he didn’t find Kiara in the pack he went wild and I let him be as it would be the only thing that could sedate him.
“Do you really think she is dead?” My wolf whines in my head, his own guilt eating him
up.
“Yes! No one would survive that fire which happened to her grandmother’s house,” I correct my wolf giving him hope is not good. It will only weaken him.
Aiden and I went back to the lake house where her grandmother stayed only to find it burnt to the crip. We found two bodies which were female and both not recognizable.
I wasn’t thinking at that moment, but he let me take charge back again when he saw the

burning house and the burning bodies.
“How could you be so sure?” He snapped at me. He blames me for everything that happened to Kiara and this time I wasn’t able to argue with him as he told the true things.

“What? accusing? Realistic? Let me remind you, you were as mad when you got to know that she was using us for her pack’s safety. If you went back to
rown memory, you might see things that make you feel guilty,” I said to him.
“What are you trying to say?”
“I won’t go through this again with you. It’s been four years. Kiara is gone. We need to move ahead, not keep thinking about the past we messed up together. All I have to do is find that Rogue Alpha King and get revenge for taking away the most important person. in my life, which was Kiara,” I said, pouring a glass of whisky and drinking it down in one go.
I began to drink, something I never did when Kiara was around. The intense burn of alcohol served as a reminder that I still had a lot on my plate, and the first task was to find that scoundrel.
I can’t continue this constant struggle with my wolf for four years. It’s making me feel crazy. We’re supposed to be connected. I can’t let guilt and regret take over and ruin the future we had.
I carry the responsibility of hundreds of pack futures on my shoulders.
His yearning for Kiara only exists because I didn’t get a chance to refuse her as my mate, but she is gone now…
