Chapter 203: New Person

Astrid's POV

My heart skipped a beat when I saw Killian striding confidently towards us. Killian looked different from what I remembered. He had grown more mature, manly, serious and confident.

He looked like a man who had gone through so many difficulties, sharpening him like a sword.

His broad shoulders stretched through the fabric of his clothes, showing his masculinity. His jawline looked sharper, his features more defined, and his eyes that used to contain mirth and mischief now held a depth of unfathomable stories in them. His boyish charm had been replaced by a rugged, masculine appeal that sent a shiver down my spine.

But it wasn't just his physical development that struck me. There was also that seriousness in his demeanor, a quiet intensity that replaced the flippant immaturity of his younger self.

I straightened myself as I watched him move with purpose and a quiet confidence that emanated from within. He now feels and looks like the Alpha that he should have been.

Time slowed to a crawl as his gaze, a dark, fathomless pool, swept across us and landed on me.

I tightened my fist as a jolt of recognition crossed both our features. A flicker of something familiar passed between us the moment our gazes locked together.

My breath hitched, a hummingbird trapped in my chest. I tried to hold my stand and sustain his gaze, but its intensity was too much to bear.
