The Alpha's Curse The Enemy Within

Chapter 63 Sixty-Three

Sheila's point of view

"I didn't even touch her. I swear on my life. I really didn't want to hurt you and I never want to. I love you, Sheila. I fucking love you." he said hurriedly, and I stopped wriggling. His last words echoed in the walls of my mind.

My dark blue eyes were studying him.

"He isn't lying," Adie voiced in my mind, leaning closely.

"And you know how?" I shot back at her.

"I can feel it," she whispered in my head.

"Well, I doubt that. He's a liar and a cheat," I said.

"But he's being honest now," Adie muttered, slowly exhausted.

I was about to contradict her, but she shushed me up immediately. "Just shut up and kiss him."

My hands sneaked around his neck, and immediately, I brought my lips to his. Killian wrapped his hands around me, firmly kissing me back.

After a while, we pulled away, panting heavily.

"I swear nothing happened between Thea and I. And nothing ever will." he whispered, kissing me again.

I pecked his lips, my finger brushing off the small trail of blood that covered his face from my arrow that grazed him. Killian lowered me to the ground.

"Now that we are a little calmer, we should attend the meeting now. Everyone is probably waiting for us." Killian and I made our way back to the castle.

We went straight to his office. Only Mason, Valerie, Gwen, and the new witch, Lorenzo, were in the office. Soon, Allen, Morgan, and Xavier walked in, along with Thea. She walked in with a smile and pulled her seat next to Killian's table. Her brown eyes met mine, and she released a devilish smile. Gosh, I hated this whore.

I was seated next to Gwen, and behind me was Lorenzo. After everyone had settled in, Valerie started first. "We have made some progress with the spells for the crescent ritual, and Enzo will be helping us out."

The witches had started to make preparations regarding the crescent moon rising, which was a month away. That was the only chance Killian and the pack had to break the curse, otherwise they would remain stuck with it. I looked over at Killian. He wore a troubled expression as everyone in the room listened to Valerie.

"Alright, Valerie, is there anything we must do? " Killian asked.

Valerie shook her head. "Unfortunately, there's nothing, Alpha. All we need is the gifted one." She glanced to Thea's right.

Thea's smile deepened, and her gaze drifted to Killian. "You don't have to worry, Killian. Whatever the witches need from me, I will do it. All I want is to save you and the pack." Thea said, her eyes glistening with tears. I rolled my eyes at her acting. She was a drama queen.

"That's good then," Valerie spoke, and explained everything. The witches were going to perform a spell tonight with the blood of the gifted one. She called it some kind of cleansing spell that needed to be done on the wolves.

"And one last thing," Valerie drew our attention when we were almost done. "On the night of the crescent moon, the witches and I will be divided into two groups. One will be at the witches' quarters while the other will be at the pack house performing the mating ritual."

I creased my brows. A mating ritual?

My eyes fell on Killian, and his gaze was on Valerie's, just as confused as I was. In fact, everyone's gaze was on Valerie.

"What do you mean?" Killian questioned

"A mating ritual must be conducted between the cursed alpha and the gifted one. It is part of the ritual of breaking the curse. The gifted one must bear your mark, thereby linking her to you and the wolves."

I couldn't breathe. My eyes fell on Thea, and her eyes were on me, regarding me with a sinister smile. I listened to every word that Valerie said, and each word pierced deep into my soul just at the thought of Killian and Thea officially mating, and she would bear his mark.

I could barely think straight during the rest of the meeting. I could feel worried eyes sent my way. As soon as the meeting ended, I went straight to my chamber. I felt a banging ache in my head, and no matter how I tried to get some rest, I just couldn't.

I felt angry and restless at the same time. I couldn't stay in my chamber for another second, so I changed out of my dress and into my training clothes. I wore brown leather pants and a brown leather vest. I pulled my hair up in a ponytail and left my chamber. It was already dark outside. By now the witches must have begun the cleansing spell with Thea's blood.

I went into the woods and trained for a while, but training alone was no fun. I still couldn't release the rage and frustration in my bones. I went to the Pack's training field. In training, I met some warriors, both male and female. I joined them. We trained for hours. It didn't even bother me how fast time flew. I didn't care.

I fought against some male warriors. I managed to win over a few while sustaining a few broken rib cages. But I'll live. It was better to bathe in the pain than in the frustration and rage that threatened to kill me.

I trained with the warriors till early dawn. Even after so many hours of training, I didn't feel exhausted. My mind was clear, and though my body was aching, everything felt fine. I walked back to the castle, and quietly made my way to my chamber. I jerked the door open and entered. As soon as I swerved around, my eyes fell on Killian. He was waiting for me.

I sighed. He was the last person I wanted to see at the moment.

"What are you doing here?" I stalked to my dressing table and removed my boots.
