Killian’s Point of View
in our
After leaving Kiara in the care of Dean and Cyrus, I headed straight to the place where they had imprisoned my son. My wolf was on edge, ready to pounce on anyone way. He growled within me, an impatient force demanding action. I had to remind him that Ry’s safety was paramount. I am not going to risk my son’s safety.
With Alejandro and Austin flanking me, we halted about a hundred metres from the pub. I surveyed the area with heightened senses. Two guys guarded the gate, and another pair lurked behind the pub, engrossed in their cigarettes and laughing. One was missing, and my keen eyes scoured the surroundings, finding him relieving himself in the bushes. What a m oron.
They appeared nonchalant, completely unaware they were dealing with a determined alpha. I tried to catch their scent, but there was nothing. The mysterious aura
surrounding them only deepened the intrigue inside of me. And it made it easier for me to kill them all.
“They’re all human,” Al mind-linked me, echoing my thoughts. Yet, Kiara mentioned they were kidnapped by Rogues. How come there are humans here…
“Al, you handle the two at the pub entrance, and Austin, take care of the ones at the back,” I directed them through the mind-link, and they acknowledged my orders. Discreetly going to do their jobs.
“And make sure none of them survive. Kill all of them. I need to have a chat with the remaining one. Let’s find out who was behind all of this,” I commanded, striding purposefully toward the guy relieving himself while nonchalantly whistling.
I observed as he zipped up his pants and looked around the bushes taking a tree leaf and wiping his hand on it… he doesn’t look like a werewolf.. I don’t understand why that f ucker assigned humans to guard my son. They can’t even match with us… The power we have as a werewolf is stronger compared to these humans who are nothing in front of us. So.. Why?
A scream was heard and he immediately looked back at me. His eyes widened ready to bolt away when I grabbed him by his jacket collar and pushed him to the ground. The breaking of bones echoed in the forest. I put my palm on his mouth so his scream didn’t reach the ones who were inside… And alert them.
“Tell me who is your leader? Who gave you the order to take the little boy,” I growled but I didn’t even have to use all my strength as he was a human. I can break his n*eck with a flick of my finger.

“I… don’t… know..” he said, groaning in pain.
“Don’t test my patience because if you don’t tell me, I will break your n*eck,” I growled at him, my eyes glowing amber-red, conveying the intensity of my threat.
“I am telling you the truth…. I am doing this for money… Please don’t kill me,” the man said as he was gasping for air.
Dragging him along into the forest, I took him to where Kiara was. As I approached her, she regarded me with a mixture of fear and disdain. Yet, her desire for her son’s safety mirrored my own.
I tossed the man near her feet, and another painful scream ripped out his l*ps. I glared as he was about to rise to his feet when Cyrus came from behind of the tree and restrained him again on the ground. Kiara stood up and I approached her, crossing my arm around my chest as I glared at the man who was struggling on the woodland.
“They’re all human,” I growled, watching as the man tectered on the brink of death, trembling like a dried leaf. The question echoed in my mind: why the hell did they hire. these humans?
“Cyrus, let him go,” Kiara commanded, but Cyrus hesitated, looking at me. I gave a subtle nod, and Cyrus stepped back, allowing the man to catch his breath.
I, with a mix of determination and anger, spoke sharply, “This is the boy’s mother. Tell her what you told me.”
“The boy is locked in the pub,” the man cried out in pain.
“Who hired you?” Kiara asked, and I could see the same strength she possessed when she was the Luna of my pack, making her incredibly attractive. I curse myself for thinking about ramming her here…
“I don’t know. I always talked to him on the phone. He gave orders, and we followed without questions. We’re just here for the money. Please spare me,” he grunted in pain. but still trying to get away from here. Trying to gain sympathy but no one here is soft hearted…
“Killian, let him go. He’s useless. We just need to find Ry, and he confirmed he’s at the pub,” Kiara suggested. Oh yes, how can I forget about her. My amber eyes stared back at her, considering whether to release this man or not. My aura was in full force, my Delta and even Dean were shaking in fear… They can’t handle my Alpha King’s full power and I could feel even the human shaking with terror-why the heck didn’t Kiara feel it?
She glared back at me with the same intensity.. Not budging even a bit.
“Release him,” I mind-linked Cyrus, who immediately let go of the man. As he got up

and ran a few steps, he suddenly screamed in pain, dropping to the ground.
What the heck just happened? I saw as he dropped to the ground. Lifeless.

Cyrus rushed towards him, checking his pulse and shaking his head. Dead? But how? Upon inspecting his b*dy, he found a chip right where the spinal cord begins…. Bl oody hell… Kiara stood frozen there…
I inspected the chip, determined to unravel the mystery it held.
“I think it was similar to the chips that gave electric shocks to the b*dy. These are of high volts, and humans aren’t able to survive this much volt shock,” Dean said, standing beside me and examining the chip.
“Where are your men?” Dean asked, attempting to cut the tension between Kiara and me. My eyes went to Kiara who was looking at the men on the ground as if trying to understand what happened just now… But I was clear on one thing and that is that f u cker is much more dangerous than we could imagine….
“Al and Austin are waiting for my orders. They were stationed at the pub,” I replied, dropping down to the ground and searching his pocket to find anything. Any clue that could lead me to the kidnapper.
“Okay, let’s go there,” I heard him saying to Kiara, but he looked at me. “Killian, what are you doing?” I saw him rolling his eyes at me as I disrespectfully searched for that
man.
“Looking for clues. I have already got his phone and this chip which was inside that man’s b*dy. I will let my men hack the phone for information,” I said as if this was the most obvious thing to do.
“Killian, this is not necessary now… you can come back later to search for him as much as you want we have to get to that boy first. Let’s go to the pub,” Dean pressed for a decision, and I agreed on our next step.
We proceed cautiously towards the abandoned building, located just across the road. from the pub. There, we find Alejandro and Austin crouched behind a broken window, the glasses sca ttered on the floor, we made our way to the window that offered a good. view of the pub ahead.
“How many insides?” I inquire as I crouch down between Alejandro and Nate.
“We aren’t sure for the exact, but we think there’s at least two,” Alejandro responds, glancing at Cyrus, who nods in agreement.
“Is there any discreet way to enter the pub?” Kiara asks, and we all turn our attention to her. She must be kidding right?

“What?” She asks as if she didn’t just pose the most naive question. We can’t enter as if they’re going to welcome us like we are invited here to attend a party.
“You must be kidding, right?” Dean scoffed, but she shook her head in nativity.
“Obviously not. I am serious,” And Dean opened his mouth but closed it, as if he didn’t know whether to say it or not.
“I’m going in,” she got up, ready to walk away, when I grabbed her hand, turning her to face me. F uck she looks more beautiful up close… I shook my head.
“No, you’re not,” I growled at her, maintaining my alpha aura.
“Killian, he is my son,” she yelled at me with determination.
“Don’t use that justification, Kiara. He is my son too. Do you have the same training as me? No. Can you take a life like me? No. So, it’s settled that you will stay here,” I ordered her firmly.
“Don’t you dare order me around, she whispered, yelling at me. I watched as she took a deep breath, and my eyes dipped to her chest. I cursed under my breath before looking back up at her eyes.
“This is your maternal instinct, Kiara. But you need to understand that we don’t know if the kidnapper inside that pub is human or rogue. If you enter without a plan, it might pose a danger to Ry and even to yourself. I promise you I will bring him back here unharmed and intact,” I reassured her trying to make her understand. But actually, I don’t want her to face the same incident that happened that night. I can’t look at her again, bathing in the blood and on the verge of losing her.
The Goddess only knows the condition he’s in, the place he’s being kept in the pub, and whether he’s even conscious. I understand it’s tough for her, but she must remain behind if we stand a chance of getting him out alive.
I gaze at her, seeking her trust, wanting her to believe that I am his father and he belongs to me just as much as he belongs to her. She closes her eyes briefly before meeting my gaze again. In her eyes, I can perceive the fear that lingers, and I gently brush her chin.
“I love it when you two fight like a cat and dog,” Dean chimed in with a teasing tone. I rolled my eyes in response, and Kiara quickly distanced herself from me, crouching down to peer outside the window.
I turned to Dean, who was sporting a goofy smile. When did this man ever become serious? I sighed. Never.
“Don’t worry; I’ll be here to watch over her,” Dean assured me, and I nodded in

“Cyrus and Austin, you’ll stay outside the pub. Alejandro and I will enter,” I instructed them.
It turned out to be advantageous that the pub was surrounded by bushes, providing us with a hiding spot.
“Ready?” I mind-linked Alejandro and the others. This is the golden opportunity for me to rescue him, and I won’t let it sl*p away. I signalled to Alejandro for us to proceed, and we both moved swiftly, crossing the road without being detected.
Keeping a low profile, I attempted to push the door, only to find it locked from the inside. I glanced back at him.
“We need to find another way; the door is locked,” I communicated through our mind- link. He tapped my shoulder, pointing towards the window. I nodded as he approached it, using his elbow to shatter the glass and deftly climbed inside. I followed suit.
Stepping over the sca ttered glass, covering the damp carpet, my nose tickled due to the musty smell. It was evident that this pub had not been used for quite some time.
“Austin, are you both inside?” I inquired through the mind link. receiving an affirmative
response.
“Check the cellar while we investigate upstairs,” I communicated to him through our
me ntal connection.
I sensed some movement as Alejandro and I concealed ourselves behind the bar counter. I watched as the man walked behind the bar, grabbing a bottle of whiskey directly from the dispenser. And once again, he was a human… It furrowed my brows. Again, no match for my strength. I glanced back at Alejandro, who shrugged his shoulders, clearly perplexed because this scenario didn’t seem like a typical kidnapping.
I stood up, walking directly behind him.
“Hi, mind if I join?” I greeted him with a smirk, and he shricked, preparing to run. However, I grabbed his shoulder and pushed him against the counter. A curse escaped his l*ps. He pushed me and attempted to flee, but Alejandro blocked his path with a smirk on his l*ps.
The man pulled out a gun in a feeble attempt to defend himself, and I couldn’t help but laugh at his futile effort. This nonsense wasn’t going to intimidate me. I was the Alpha King, after all. While his gun touched my toned abs, it didn’t install any fear in me.
Although the primal instinct urged me to tear his heart out, I deemed it more beneficial to question him. I delivered a swift blow to his head, and he crumpled to the floor,
