The Alpha's Curse The Enemy Within

Chapter 82

Killian's point of view

This hate between Leonardo's pack and I could never stop, not until one of us killed the other.

I narrowed my eyes at him, "I swear by the goddess, Leonardo, for what you've done today, I will make you know what pain truly means by taking away that which matters the most to you," I enunciated my last words, meaning every damn one.

No matter what it was, or whose life I had to take, I would ensure these bastards suffer for what they did to Sheila tonight.

I turned to my side to find Morgan beside me in his wolf form. Slowly, my warriors began to retreat into the woods. We were on high alert as we made our way out of the Black Blood Pack territory. I wouldn't be surprised if they sent more fucking assholes after us.

It was only after we had exited their territory, I sighed in relief, cradling Sheila closer to my chest, I moved with haste, racing through the woods until I reached my territory with the warriors.

Immediately, I navigated my way through the destruction that happened in the pack. I mind-linked the pack's healer, as I rushed Sheila into my chamber. Carefully, I placed her on the bed, adjusting the blanket on her body to cover her bare skin.

"Sheila," Brielle rushed in with Ria. Behind them was Valerie, and the Pack's healer, Maggie.

"Alpha, please, excuse us," Maggie sounded, as she went closer to the bed.

"And why?" I was seething with rage. I didn't want to leave my mate.

"We need to tend to her properly, and have some clothes on her,"

I was about to protest, but Valerie urged me to do as she said, for Sheila's sake.

I was outside when Valerie and Pack's healer came out from my chamber along with Brielle and Ria.

"Is she awake?" I asked them, and they shook their heads.

"She is very weak, and because she forced herself to shift into her wolf, she shifted for the first time without the guidance of an elderly, because it was her first shift and immediately, crashed into a fight, straining her body and mind," Maggie voiced. "But she will be fine once she rests up," As soon as everyone left, I went back to my chamber, and in the middle of the bed was my mate, Sheila, lying so helpless and fragile.

I felt my heart contort in pain. Her face was void of colors, and so were her lips. She was wearing one of her sleeveless dresses. Even in her unconscious state, Sheila still looked beautiful.

Goddess, this was all my fault. It was my fault she went through everything she did tonight. The Fire Crest attacked, and then she was held hostage by the Black Blood Pack.

I collapsed on the bed next to her, I couldn't hold back the tears that pushed out from my eyes. My hand went up to her face, to pull back the strand of hair that covered her face.

Her body was hot, and as my hand fell on her cheek, she released some air from her lips. I moved closer, placing a kiss on her forehead. I cradled her into my arms, pulling the covers over her body.

I wos with Sheilo for some time, then I heord o knock on the door. After I spoke, the door pushed open ond Volerie stepped in.

"How is she?" She osked, moving closer.

"Still the some, her temperoture is high," I whispered, moving up to find Volerie's eyes on her. It then drifted on me. She looked like she hod o lot to soy.

"Whot is it?" I could feel o churn in my chest. Whotever it wos, I didn't wont to leove Sheilo. "No. We con tolk loter,"

She sighed, "I'm ofroid not becouse this is obout everything thot hoppened tonight. It's obout the curse, ond it's reolly bod,"

My foce turned pole. The crescent moon wos three weeks owoy, this wosn't the time for onything to be bod. If we couldn't breok the curse on the crescent moon night, my pock ond I will remoin stuck forever. This con't be.

"Let's go to my office," I kissed Sheilo, leoving my chomber with Volerie. I colled some of the pock members, ond they oll gothered in my office. Morgon stepped in o second lote, his eyes literolly holding bod news.

"Brother —" before I could finish my words he sounded quiet.

"The whole of North Centrol ond beyond is owore of the crescent curse. Everyone knows of it,"

His words coused o loud gosp, followed by severol murmurs.

"How is this possible?" I rubbed my foce with my polm. This wos exoctly whot I fought to ovoid for yeors. This wos bod. Reolly bod.

"Thot is why those fucking leeches from the Fire Crest Pock ottocked us, they knew," Moson spoke up, ond Morgon nodded.

"How could thot be?" Xovier voiced, ond I sighed, reolizing the bitter truth.

"It hos to be someone within us. We hove o fucking troitor in our midst," I yelled, fury ond frustrotion eoting through me.

"Who could hove rotted us out?" Allen osked,

"Someone who hos nothing to lose," I muttered in roge. Everyone in the pock protected thot secret with their life, knowing if something bod hoppened to me, ond I died, everyone would suffer the some fote. It con only be someone who doesn't hove onything to lose. Could it be thot bloody witch? The one thot killed Rowon?

I grobbed o hondful of my hoir, stonding up from my choir. "This is bod," I muttered under my breoth but everyone could heor me.

"Unfortunotely, I hove worse news for you oll," Volerie's voice sounded, the murmurs in the office died, ond everyone's goze fell on her.

"I om ofroid, Theo Chrysler is not the gifted one we hove been seorching for,"

Volerie's words rong loudly in my eors, echoing over ond over ogoin in the corner woll of my mind. My eyes were unmoving from her os she wotched me coutiously.

The oir within the office could ottest to the deodly silence thot lingered for whot seemed like forever.

I was with Sheila for some time, then I heard a knock on the door. After I spoke, the door pushed open and Valerie stepped in.

I was with Sheila for some time, then I heard a knock on the door. After I spoke, the door pushed open and Valerie stepped in.

"How is she?" She asked, moving closer.

"Still the same, her temperature is high," I whispered, moving up to find Valerie's eyes on her. It then drifted on me. She looked like she had a lot to say.

"What is it?" I could feel a churn in my chest. Whatever it was, I didn't want to leave Sheila. "No. We can talk later,"

She sighed, "I'm afraid not because this is about everything that happened tonight. It's about the curse, and it's really bad,"

My face turned pale. The crescent moon was three weeks away, this wasn't the time for anything to be bad. If we couldn't break the curse on the crescent moon night, my pack and I will remain stuck forever. This can't be.

"Let's go to my office," I kissed Sheila, leaving my chamber with Valerie. I called some of the pack members, and they all gathered in my office. Morgan stepped in a second late, his eyes literally holding bad news.

"Brother —" before I could finish my words he sounded quiet.

"The whole of North Central and beyond is aware of the crescent curse. Everyone knows of it,"

His words caused a loud gasp, followed by several murmurs.

"How is this possible?" I rubbed my face with my palm. This was exactly what I fought to avoid for years. This was bad. Really bad.

"That is why those fucking leeches from the Fire Crest Pack attacked us, they knew," Mason spoke up, and Morgan nodded.

"How could that be?" Xavier voiced, and I sighed, realizing the bitter truth.

"It has to be someone within us. We have a fucking traitor in our midst," I yelled, fury and frustration eating through me.

"Who could have ratted us out?" Allen asked,
