Killian’s Point of View
“Alpha King… Luna… Luna Kiara is back….” echoed through my mind-link, the words ringing like a sudden storm in the calm. My heart, once paused in the grip of awaiting. resumed its beating, each thud loud and painful against my chest. My wolf howled within. a mix of longing and pain. She is alive.
The first person to dash out of the room was Alejandro. The guard must have mind- linked him as well. I stood there grappling with the surge of emotions threatening to overwhelm me. My wolf demanded action, to go and hold her right now, but I needed to gather the thin thread of patience I had left.
Gathering the little bit of patience that is thin like a thread. I walked out of the office room. Taking a long stride through the living room to the alpha’s mansion main door passed in a blur. I swung open the door without seeing how much strength I used because it nearly got pulled out of its hinges, but I paid no mind.
There she was, standing before me, and I couldn’t believe my eyes. I watch, frozen in shock, as I look at the female with the same burgundy hair but a little shorter than she used to keep. My wolf is scraping inside my chest, aching to run to her and hold her. It feels surreal, the realisation that she was alive after all these years, while my wolf regretted everything that had happened to her and her pack.
Her eyes locked onto mine, and that familiar, relentless pull seized me. The blo ody fated pull that kept my wolf sane and me on the brink of insanity. Closing the distance between us, I couldn’t help but marvel at the features I had missed for four long years.
For four years, she had been dead, and for four years, I had been living like a lone wolf, without any mate. My wolf didn’t want anyone except her. Yet my wife, my fated mate stands before me, alive.
“Kiara!” I called out to her, my heart pounding in my chest. Her eyes dropped and it seemed as if she was losing all her strength. She was about to collapse when I lunged towards her, grabbing her by the waist before she could land on the hard ground. And I felt that electric sensation my whole b*dy burned with the need as soon as I held her in my arms. Holding her in my arms, my wolf sighed in relief as if he had been deprived. of this intimate touch.
Her head rested against my chest, and I could feel the warmth of her b*dy against mine. Despite the relief she felt, her eyes still held the same hatred. My gaze shifted to the bruise on her face, and the protective instinct of my wolf took over. A low growl rumbled from deep within me as I lightly brushed her cheek.
“Who did this to you?” I demanded, my voice thundered with a dangerous edge

Chapter 42
wanting to kill that person who dared to harm the fated mate of the most powerful Alpha King’s Mate… My mate.
She said something, her voice barely audible, but it still reached my ears. “Save them,” she whispered. Confusion etched my face. She clutched my shirt tightly before pulling me towards her as her l*ps lightly brushed my ears.
“Save your children, Killian. They need their father now more than ever,” She pleaded with what little strength she had left before she went into unconsciousness. But for me, it felt like sl*pping away through the ground.
I paced in front of the bedroom door like a wild lion trapped in a cage, my thoughts at whirlwind of confusion and anger. I don’t know what to believe now… I feel deceived. Deceived by her. How come she is alive all these years and I don’t know a s hit about it. Did Aiden know that she is alive? Why did they keep this from me?
Austin and Alejandro were also standing nearby and from their face, it is clear that they were as shocked as me. It is a good thing that my father had gone to meet the council in place of me, and Rihanna had accompanied him. I have time to get answers…
“Killian, you have to stop doing this. Otherwise, you will dig a hole in there,” Alejandro’s voice echoed in the corridor as I forced myself to stop pacing a hole in the carpet. Taking a deep breath, I ran my fingers through my hair, trying to collect my thoughts.
“She will be fine, Killian,” Alejandro reassured me. After she fainted in my arms I didn’t think of anything as my wolf wanted to save my mate. I carried her up before I dashed. towards the Alpha house, and urgently mind-linked Eve to come and attend to her. When she looked at her she was also shocked but I noticed a fear too…..
Now, an hour had passed, and Eve hadn’t left that room. My wolf was restless, yearning to hold his mate close, yet I trusted Eve’s expertise to ensure Kiara’s well being.
“How come she is alive, Alejandro? I have seen two burned bodies in her lake house. And why would she live hiding from me?” I asked him as he was the only friend I had. These are the questions that have been swirling in my mind for goddess knows how many times.
“Only she can answer for that, Killian,” he said as he patted my shoulder. That was when the bedroom door opened and Eve walked out.
“How is she?” I asked as soon as she stood before me.
“She is out of danger, Alpha. It is just that she is weak right now, and the fatigue and pressure took over her b*dy, causing her to lose consciousness. We just have to wait for her to wake up as she takes more time to recover…” She explained.

“Why does she require more time to recover?” Austin interjected, voicing the same concern that had crossed my mind.
Eve took a deep breath before saying “She doesn’t have a wolf in her now…”
