The Rejected Mate

My voice sounds more deeper, meaning that Killian is in control. My eyes flash black as I take deep breaths in to calm myself. I feel my eyes going back to their normal color.

I retract my hands from her throat and from the death grip I had on her wrists.

"Geez, remind me never to do that again” she rolls her eyes as she speaks.

"I wouldn't keep you alive if you pull a stunt like that again” A dark smirk crosses my features knowing that I got my point across.

"Now where were we before you decide to choke me?" She asks sarcastically ignoring my last words.

"I want you to cast a protection spell on m Serenity" I state, now serious.

"And where do I find the source? Where do you expect me to channel the power to cast such a powerful spell?” she asks me with her face scrunched in confusion.

"You will channel it from me" I say without a hesitation in my voice, I knew what I had to do and I was ready to risk it. After all it was worth it in the end.

Kaya's eyes snap towards mine and she looks at me with an unknown emotion in her eyes.

"You know that is a huge risk on your part, right? it can weaken you maybe even take your life if it drawn too much of your power!" She asks me incredulously with that same unknown emotion swimming I her dark eyes, which I couldn't place a name.

"I'm aware Kaya, I'm no fool" I reply keeping my eyes on hers showing that I'm completely serious. She shakes her head at me and says something along the line of 'young love’ under her breath, I couldn't be too sure.

"As you wish Alpha" she motions towards herself, asking me to stand before her.

I'm skeptical at first then I see it. The wooden bowl like things in which she was pouring some dark potion and crushed herbs, muttering some spell under her breath.

Standinv before her she motions me to bring my right arm towards her and I do as asked, taking my wrist in her hand she brings a sharp blade forward. she looks at me for permission and I nod my head in reply.

She bring my hand above the wooden bowl and slowly glides the sharp blade on my skin, causing it to pierce into my skin and dark blood to immediately ooze out of it.

It doesn't hurt, this is nothing compared to the things that caused the scars I have on my body. This wound would heal in no time.

She cleans my wrist with a damp cloth and cleans the sharp edge of the blade as well. I watch as my blood mixes with the other ingredients on the bowl, turning into a dark red color of my blood. Kaya mutters another spell, and mixes the potion again and I watch as the ingredients in the bow! starts to glow a green color, meaning that the spell worked. Just then, I feel a pang in my heart making me realize now that it's finally done, and relief to flood through my veins as I heave a sigh. "It's done" She declares and looks at me.

"I know what you need Kaya, you need my protection against Roman and the bunch of rogues he's controlling. I will protect you as long as you keep your end of the bargain, if anything happens to her or the spell breaks, then Roman would be the least of your worries because I wouldn't hesitates to snap you neck in two" I say knowingly with a hint of warning again in my voice as I speak the last sentence.

Kaya rolls her eyes and nods her head.

"Thankyou" I say genuinely and she looks shocked for a second, everyone knows that I don't indulge in pleasantries and common curtsies.

"Good luck” she replies and looks yet again with than unknown look her eyes.

Turning towards the entrance of the cave, I transform into my big black wolf form, looking back at Kaya to find her looking at my wolf in awe, I nod my head in acknowledgment and takeoff towards the pack house.

As soon I reach the pack house I walk towards the side towards where all the windows were situated. Climbing with help of the pipes and my werewolf reflexes I immediately climb towards the window situated at the second floor, leading towards a certain room I had made a practice of climbing at this time of the night.

Don't ask me why I don't use the door instead, I just made this a habit and it's easier to reach, since I don't have to walk across the rooms of all the other pack members and hear them do things I preferred not to.

Slowly pulling the window, I realise that it's unlocked which works in my favour. Climbing into the familiar room I find the small crib placed in the middle of the room. Toys are spread all around the room, when I peek into the crib my heart halts it's beating when I don't find the tiny body I usually did, I only find some soft toys and pillows.

I start panicking when I don't find him, a movement towards my right catches my attention, I sigh in relief when I take in the scene before me.

On the bean bag I find Serenity holding Elijah in her arms, his tiny hand circling around her as she has a hand wrapped protectively around his back. The scene before me melts my heart.

Talking cautious steps towards them, carefully not to make any noise that I don't wake any of them from their peaceful slumber.

I place a kiss on Elijah’s forehead. I move towards Serenity, moving the stray hair from her face and tucking it behind her ear.

I place a kiss on her forehead as well and moveaway, I manage to catch the small unconscious smile that takes over her face when she felt my touch.

"Goodnight my Angels” I say in a low whisper and leave the room just like I came in, possibly for a run.
