The Alpha's Curse The Enemy Within

Chapter 62 Sixty-Two

Killian's point of view

I was on the bed, and Thea stood completely naked before me. If this had happened months ago, I swear I would have pulled her down on the bed and banged her nonstop. She was beautiful, no doubt. But something in me was different. She just wasn't appealing anymore to me. Everything's changed now that I have Sheila. And I don't want to hurt her. I never want to hurt my mate.

I looked away, feeling somewhat disgusted. But I tried not to let it show. I also didn't want my rejection to hurt her.

"Cover yourself, Thea, and please leave." I told her.

I was surprised when her naked body jumped on me, and then I felt her bare hand on my crotch, squeezing it. I pushed her away, but she only firmed on top of me as her naked ass began to grind on top of me. She moaned in pleasure.

"Get her off us!" Ryker growled, and I grabbed her waist, lifting her off of me. I jolted up from the bed. I backed away, picking up my towel and tying it around my waist.

"What the hell, Thea? I told you to leave! " I yelled at her.

Thea looked surprised. She froze on the bed, her deep brown eyes on me for a short second. Then she was up. She grabbed her robe from the floor and covered herself.

"What the hell is wrong with you, Killian?" She yelled back in rage and frustration. "You have never treated me like this. Why now? What did I do to deserve this? " Her eyes began to shimmer with tears.

"Thea, don't start now," I began, but she cut me off.

"You've been acting this way because of that bitch, right? She is the reason you are like this! " She kept on yelling.

I felt Ryker growl angrily in my head. He didn't like that she addressed our mate with that word, and neither did I.

"Thea. Enough." I said, fighting hard not to yell at her.

"Shove her out now!" Ryker growled.

"Tell me the truth, Killian, are you having sex with her?" Thea blurted, her eyes gathering more tears. When I didn't respond, the waters in those honey iced gazes of hers rushed for freedom. "Have you accepted her as your mate already?" She asked, but I still didn't reply. She began crying. "Are you going to discard me after using me to get the curse broken?" She was sobbing hard. "Are you going to abandon me on my own, knowing I have no one else but you?"

Her words pierced me. Even though I do not love her, I was concerned for her. I didn't want to use her or give her false hope, especially now that I want a future with Sheila, with my mate.

I moved closer to Thea, but I didn't make the mistake of touching her. "Thea, I really care about you."

"What are you going to say now? Huh? You care about me, but it's that tramp you want in your bed? Is that it?" She rushed, wiping off the tears in her eyes.

I growled loudly at her for addressing Sheila in that way.

She ignored my growl. "When are you going to realize Sheila is not right for you? Even her family is your enemy. She's not the one you need. I am, Killian. I am the one risking my life for you and the pack because I love you. You are my life."

"We are done here. Please leave my chamber," I said, and more tears gathered in her eyes. She stared at me silently. Without saying anything further, she left my chamber.

I groaned, frustratedly, grabbing my clothes when the door pulled open again. "Come on, Thea, I told you to leave." I turned around to find Morgan pacing angrily towards me. He was beyond furious. Before I could ask him what was wrong, his fist collided harshly with my jaw. I groaned, stumbling a step back.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I yelled at him, glaringly.

"That's exactly what I want to know. What the bloody hell is your problem?" He growled angrily. He was really upset. I haven't seen him this furious.

"Would you tell me what the problem is?" I asked.

"If you know you aren't yet over Thea, why the fucking hell did you sleep with Sheila?" Morgan yelled angrily.

"That's none of your fucking business, brother!" I yelled back.

"It is, if it concerns Sheila. How could you be so cruel, knowing full well that the moment you mate with your mate, she becomes partially connected to you and can sense your fucking betrayal? You're a cheating bastard!" He yelled.

I froze. An image of Sheila in pain flashed through my mind.

"What do you mean she could feel the pain of my betrayal?" I was dumbfounded. How on earth was that possible? I haven't marked her yet, but she can feel the pain of betrayal. I grabbed a handful of my damp hair.

"Just stop hurting her." He implored. "Please, it's enough already." Morgan walked to the door and exited.

I felt my heart hammer hard against my chest just at the thought of Sheila thinking something actually happened between Thea and I. I dressed hurriedly, moving to her chamber, but she wasn't there. I looked for her around the castle, but I couldn't find her. I mind-linked some of the pack members, and some saw her heading into the woods.

I sighed, making my way out of the castle. I stalked into the woods, using her scent to trail her. It led me deeper into the woods. I kept walking further. From a far distance, I saw my mate. She was in the middle of a clearing, firing arrows at tons of trees. Even from a distance, I could feel her rage. Fuck. This was bad.

I moved closer, as slowly as possible, to where Sheila was. Immediately, she pulled up an arrow and directed it at me. If I hadn't jumped out of the way, I swear it would have aimed for my heart. She didn't stop; she grabbed another arrow and shot at me. I dodged again, but it managed to graze my cheek. She went for another arrow and sent it at me again. She was aiming relentlessly to kill.

I kept dodging her arrows until I was in front of her. I grabbed the bow from her and tossed it on the ground.

"Sheila, please let's talk," I said, about to grab her, but she sent a punch at my face. I groaned, bringing my eyes back on her again, but she sent another one to my stomach.
