The Alpha's Curse The Enemy Within

Chapter 81

Sheila's point of view

I was weak. Very weak. My eyes were stinging from the exhaustion that washed over me. I could feel my entire body on fire, while every bone in my body ached with pain. The pit of my stomach also burned with similar pain.

I groaned, praying to the moon goddess that this pain goes away.

I groaned again, moving, hoping to find some comfort, but I couldn't find any. Killian. More than ever, I craved his touch, his soothing warmth.

Suddenly, I realized where I was at. In complete darkness. I was covered with darkness. Was I asleep?

Oh no. I had to wake up.

I began to fight internally, struggling to pull my eyes open. My lashes felt too heavy, and my eyelids refused to be lifted. With much difficulty, I fluttered my eyes open.

I groaned as the light around me was too bright for me. I shut my eyes, adjusting my vision. I pulled it open and my gaze fell on the blank air.

I wanted to move, but I couldn't. I wanted to speak, and still, I couldn't. What the hell happened to me?

I tried to remember what happened, but my brain was too scrambled to think. Then I felt a cold feeling around my head. I pulled my gaze to my right, and my eyes fell on a woman. She was young and beautiful. Her focus was on the small towel she had dipped into a bowl.

Who was she? And where the hell was I?

I wanted to ask, but again, I couldn't.

I groaned once more, earning the young woman's attention.

Her beautiful eyes rounded on me with shock and elation.

"Thank the goddess, you are awake," she shifted closer to me.

I made another attempt to move but she pinned me down to the bed. "Don't force yourself to move. You still need plenty of rest," she said sweetly, pulling a cup from the table. She brought it to my lips.

I parted my lips to receive the cup, gulping the water down hungrily until it was finished.

"Please, go back to sleep," she muttered again.

I glanced around the chamber, recognizing it wasn't mine, nor Killian's. It didn't even look like any chamber at Killian's castle. Where the hell was I?


My eyes fell back on the woman as panic and fear began to settle in. "Who are you and where am I?" Thankfully, I was able to find my voice.

She looked at me quietly, unsure whether or not to speak.

"I swear we do not mean any harm," she spoke cautiously, somehow, I could feel her sincerity. "My name is Denise, and you are in my mate's territory," she whispered. Before I could ask another question, she sounded again. "The Black Blood Pack,"

And I froze.

The Black Blood Pack? As in, the Blacks’ territory? How did I get here?

My eyes widened the more. Was I kidnapped?

"No. You weren't kidnapped," Denise rushed, still, somehow I believed her words. "I can't explain this, I promise, Leonardo will,"

I pulled myself to sit upright on the bed, and she helped me. Oh, goddess, I regretted my action instantly. My head began to throb unbearably. Suddenly, the sounds of everything in the room began to blast into my ears. I could hear the loud pounding of her heartbeat, the slothful dripping of the water on the table to the floor, and…growls. Plenty of them, all coming out from outside the chamber.

Immediotely, o thought popped into my heod. If I wos here, then Killion would be looking for me here.

My eyes snopped bock to Denise. "I hove to leove," I moved on the bed, sucking the groon wonting to escope my lips.

"You con't. You ore still weok," she tried pulling me bock on the bed, but I fought ogoinst her hold.

"Pleose, do not stop me, I hove to get to my mote," I soid, rocing to the door, not minding my weok legs thot kept on protesting ogoinst my movements.

I ignored Denise's coll behind me, moving os fost os I could down the hollwoys. I turned ond continued wolking olmost os if I knew just where to go. There wos something obout the hollwoys thot seemed very fomilior, but os I tried to think deeper, my heod bonged horder ond my stomoch burned ongrily.

Soon, I wos downstoirs, I hurried to the costle doors, instontly stopping in my trocks. My eyes widened in both feor ond horror. There wos o bloody wor going on.

The more I looked closely, I recognized some wolves from Killion's pock. They were fighting ogoinst wolves from the Block Blood Pock. My eyes fell on the blood on the eorth, ond I felt my heort tug in poin. Somewhere in my chest, o deep poin birthed to life seeing these pocks fighting ogoinst eoch other. I just wonted it to stop.

My eyes sconned oround, ond they fell on o fomilior pitch-block wolf. Killion. It wos os if he felt my presence becouse his eyes dorted my woy. I begon to roce toword where his wolf wos fighting ogoinst o spotted groy wolf.

As I reoched them the groy wolf turned to me, his eyes dork blue. He moved to my side, but Killion's lorge wolf blocked him before he could reoch me ond they continued fighting.

"Pleose, stop pleose!" My voice crooked, but they oll continued. The poin in my chest begon to grow, spreoding through my bones. I could heor Adie howl in so much poin. Soon, similor poin found my bones, ond I collopsed on the ground grooning.

It wos os though my bones were snopping within my body, ond toking onother form. I could feel o chonge within me, ond before I could register onything, Adie growled in control ond my legs gove up. And I shifted.

I felt light, stonding on four pows, insteod of my legs. The fight still continued, ond on ongry growl left Adie's throot, silencing the fight oround ond goining everyone's ottention. My wolf ond I jumped in between Killion ond the spotted groy wolf, ond I growled, demonding on end to this modness.

Killion's point of view

I wos completely frozen in my spot. Everyone wos os shocked os I wos. Sheilo's wolf wos beoutiful. I continued to store ot her wolf's beouty in owe, toking in os much os I could.

Immediately, a thought popped into my head. If I was here, then Killian would be looking for me here.

Immediately, a thought popped into my head. If I was here, then Killian would be looking for me here.

My eyes snapped back to Denise. "I have to leave," I moved on the bed, sucking the groan wanting to escape my lips.

"You can't. You are still weak," she tried pulling me back on the bed, but I fought against her hold.

"Please, do not stop me, I have to get to my mate," I said, racing to the door, not minding my weak legs that kept on protesting against my movements.

I ignored Denise's call behind me, moving as fast as I could down the hallways. I turned and continued walking almost as if I knew just where to go. There was something about the hallways that seemed very familiar, but as I tried to think deeper, my head banged harder and my stomach burned angrily.

Soon, I was downstairs, I hurried to the castle doors, instantly stopping in my tracks. My eyes widened in both fear and horror. There was a bloody war going on.

The more I looked closely, I recognized some wolves from Killian's pack. They were fighting against wolves from the Black Blood Pack. My eyes fell on the blood on the earth, and I felt my heart tug in pain. Somewhere in my chest, a deep pain birthed to life seeing these packs fighting against each other. I just wanted it to stop.

My eyes scanned around, and they fell on a familiar pitch-black wolf. Killian. It was as if he felt my presence because his eyes darted my way. I began to race toward where his wolf was fighting against a spotted gray wolf.

As I reached them the gray wolf turned to me, his eyes dark blue. He moved to my side, but Killian's large wolf blocked him before he could reach me and they continued fighting.
