The Alpha's Curse The Enemy Within

Chapter 50 Fifty
Killian's point of view
I groaned, stirring on the bed. My bright amber eyes pulled open, falling on the beautiful figure of my mate, curled up so perfectly
in my arms. I sighed in contentment, resting my head next to hers. Last night was the best night of my life. I couldn't possibly
begin to describe the ecstasy that drowned me while making love to my mate. It was the best feeling ever. She was the most
beautiful woman ever.
I leaned closer to her, placing a small kiss on her shoulder. Sheila shifted in her sleep, releasing a small moan. I grabbed the
sheets, pulling them over her naked skin.
My eyes went around the cottage; the sun had already set. I gathered my discarded clothes from last night on the floor. In haste,
I wore them sharply.
"Ryker?" I called out to my wolf, fastening my leather boots.
Ryker simply groaned, lazily. I chuckled deeply. He still hasn't recovered from the blissful pleasure of last night. Sheila took us to
a world we never thought existed. My eyes glanced at my mate once more.
She was the epitome of beauty. Her long brown hair was falling messily on her face, flowing down into the valley between her
gorgeous round breasts. I found myself gulping as I drank in her sleeping figure. She was well capable of seducing me without
even trying. Last night proved exactly what a temptress she was, and I was only her prey.
Reluctantly, I left Sheila in the cottage, stepping into the bright morning sun. I decided to roam around the cottage, meticulously
scanning the surroundings to ensure we were completely safe.
Finally, Ryker was able to pull out of last night's bliss. I felt his presence at the back of my mind. It seems to be with Sheila last
night did both of us good. It was so damned hard to get enough of her last night, it felt as if I had been sex-starved all my life.
Sheila awoke emotions and strange feelings within me that I was unaware of. She made me discover myself in a whole different
dimension.

I immediately mind-linked Morgan to save time.
"Bloody hell, Killian! Why the fuck didn't you get in touch with us?" I heard Morgan's sharp words pierce through the mind link the
instant I connected with him. "We've been literally scouring everywhere to find you,"
"Well, it's good to know someone missed me," I sounded in a cheery tone.
"What about Sheila? Is she with you?" His worried voice filtered through the mind link.
I growled quietly at his concern. "Yeah, she is with me, and she is fine."
"Thank the goddess. For a second, I feared the worst when we tried connecting to you, but it wasn't pulling through."
"My wolf was badly injured. I didn't have enough strength to reach out to the pack. " I explained everything, "How is everyone?
What about Brielle? "
"A few warriors are injured, but that's about it. And Brielle, you know she's a survivor; her injuries are already healed." Morgan
said. "Those fucking wolves of the Fire Crest Pack are still hunting for you two."
I snarled instantly at that new information. "They are after Sheila. They want her dead."
Morgan also growled angrily. "What do we do now, brother?"
"I need some warriors. We are just outside the capital, and the Fire Crest warriors could be scattered on the way to the capital." I
muttered, squeezing my eyes, realizing we just might encounter another fight on our way back home. "Where are you now?"
"We are heading back to North Central." Morgan's words made my eyes widen. "Don't blame me if we were so fucking worried
about the two of you to our bones that we kept searching relentlessly for you guys." He added, in a sharp tone.
I shook my head. "Whatever, we are at the cottage."

"The same cottage?" Morgan asked, knowingly. I nodded.
"Hurry!" I added before disconnecting.
I started heading back to the cottage. I reached for the door and pulled it open. My eyes instantly fell on Sheila.
She was awake, already out of bed, and getting dressed. Her head snapped my way when I stepped in. Her blue eyes were
bright as she held my gaze.
I moved closer to where she was struggling with the ropes at the back of her dress. I stood behind her, my hands falling on hers
as I gripped the rope, tugging it gently, my hands brushing against her back. Sheila let out a gasp. I was quick to get the rope
tied. My hands snaked around Sheila's waist, and she pressed her back against mine.
I moaned. Sheila pulled her head to her side, giving me access to her neck. I dipped my lips in the crook of her neck, kissing it
gently. A sounding moan left our lungs. Slowly, I turned her around so I could gaze at her beauty.
Sheila's hands were wrapped around my neck as her eyes bore right into my soul. "Good morning." She whispered against my
lips, as I stiffened into a groan. "How was your night?" She asked with curious big eyes.
"The very best in my life." I was being truthful. A teasing smile sliced through her lips as she moved closer to mine.
I felt the calm beating of her heart against mine, while mine was in complete uproar. She pulled me in for a kiss. My hand
became firm on her waist. I held her to deepen the kiss, but she pulled away, leaving me breathless. I stared into her eyes, and
they were dark with desire and lust. "You are mine, Killian. Mine alone." Her words were calm, at the same time warningly and
possessive. Her possessiveness turned me on instantly.
I didn't know when I nodded in agreement, I was entirely hers alone.
With a smile, Sheila brought her lips to mine. I bit her lip gently, seeking permission. She parted, and my tongue slid in, caressing
every corner of her mouth, sucking in the taste of every bit of her flavor. Our kiss was deepening. I could feel it almost heading
somewhere. But we broke apart instantly, panting when I heard a sharp noise coming from outside.

The look on Sheila's face told me she'd heard it as well.
"Stay here," I told her, before heading to the door.
I slowly pulled it open, moving quietly outside. There was no one in sight. Ryker and I shared control, my claws sticking out. I felt
the presence in the woods, behind the trees. Quickly, with my nonhuman speed, I rushed there, my claws in mid-air, about to
pierce into the figure no doubt there.
"Fudging hell, man. It's me! " A sharp voice sounded.
I squinted my eyes at Allen's slightly terrified and amused face.
"Relax, brother!" I turned to the voice on my right, finding Morgan in his human form a few feet away from us, with Mason.
"That was fast," I said, as Ryker retreated to the back of my head and my claws dived back inside.
"I told you we were on the way," Morgan said. More of the pack warriors emerged from the woods. Some were in human form,
while others were in wolf form and shifted into human form, butt naked.
The door to the cottage jerked open, and Sheila stepped out. Her face suddenly turned red as she scanned around. My eyes
followed the trail of eyes to the warriors still naked.
"Get your fucking asses covered!" I growled angrily, sauntering over to Sheila, allowing my huge frame to block her gaze. As
soon as everyone had covered themselves, Morgan walked to us.
"I am glad you are alright." He smiled deeply, his arms sprawled apart, and he embraced Sheila.
I couldn't stop the possessive growls that escaped from my lungs. Fuck. I had no idea what was wrong with me and why I was
suddenly overly possessive of Sheila. Morgan sent me a quizzical stare, and the warriors held confounded yet amused looks.
Just then, Brielle pushed her way through the warriors, her eyes breaking a smile as they fell on Sheila.

"Sheila!" She rushed to my mate's side.
Sheila moved past Morgan and hurried to Brielle. Their bodies met halfway, and they embraced.
I turned to everyone, "We should start heading back."
I helped Sheila on the horse, even though she didn't really need my help. The warriors shifted into their wolves, and I was next to
Sheila as we started heading for the North Central capital.
After covering a long distance, we reached the capital. We were on the alert for any trouble from the Fire Crest Pack, but we
became at ease when we approached our territory. Thankfully, the Fire Crest Pack was not stupid enough to come for a fight in
our territory.
We approached the castle. Many of the pack members and warriors crowded around. Their eyes held relief to have everyone
back safely.
Jax, Nate, and some warriors rushed me with hugs. They were all happy for Sheila's safe return as well, but I was so glad none
of them were stupid enough to try to hug my mate.
My thoughts were cut off by the sharp scream that came from the castle entrance.
"Killian!"
I snapped my head in that direction, and my eyes fell on Thea. She raced to me, slamming into my arms. I felt my heartbeat
spike up, and Ryker rose at the back of my mind. My eyes involuntarily flashed on Sheila.
And the look on her face frightened me.
