The Alpha's Curse The Enemy Within

Chapter 104

Killian's point of view

It was a gruesome pain. Like I had been stabbed straight in the heart by my very own mate.

It'd hurt. It hurt so badly that I couldn't believe this.

The pain that was engraved in the deepest corners of my heart transformed as quickly into a severe rage.

I could feel the corners of my eyes darken with extreme emotions that entirely shut off my reasoning. The only thing I wanted was to have his blood on my hands. To feel the sickening euphoria of that bloody bastard's heart in my claws.

I moved incredulously fast with my nonhuman speed. In a murderous second, I was right next to where Kaiser and Sheila were, I gripped her tightly pulling her away from Kaiser's arms.

My eyes tore through the instant shock that was plastered on Sheila's blue eyes. Her eyes gave it all right away. I could see everything that was going through her mind imprinted on her round, shocked gaze, and the blatant truth was she had lied to me. She had a fucking lover, and it was my worst enemy. I didn't know which one killed me the most. The fact that Sheila had a lover all along, or the fact that her lover happened to be my worst enemy who has always wanted me dead.

My hold on Sheila's arms firmed, as I pulled her closer to me. "Even if you had a lover, why did it have to be him of all people?" I counted each word painfully, embracing the pain that vibrated against my joints. "Have you forgotten everything I told you he did to my family? To our pack?"

The pain was the only thing I could feel at the moment. It had been such a long time since I felt this intense pain. The last time I felt such deathly pain was the day I witnessed both my mother's and Karl's death right before my eyes. This pain was as equal to that, or maybe much worse.

Sheila held me with her other hand. "Killian, it's not even close to what you think?" She let out. I could feel her body tremble against my hold, but not from fear for me. It was fear of something else.

"Then what is it, Sheila?" Fury began to push itself to the surface. "What could explain you being in the arms of someone else? A godforsaken Black?" I growled at her.

I didn't turn around to look, but I could hear the low growls of Kaiser's wolf like he was battling hard with his wolf to remain in control. Sheila sent a pleading look at him, before returning her stare to me.

She didn't flinch a bit at my flowering, "Killian, Kaiser is—"

I hated the fucking manner in which his name rolled from her lips. "Don't take his fucking name out of your lips!"

"And who the fuck do you think you are yelling at?" Kaiser's loud growl sounded next to us, evidently pissed and wanting blood as well. I had never seen him this enraged, not even when we were at each other's throats.

Sheila's head snapped to him again, "Kaiser, no!" She yelled. One could feel the fear and concern that rushed through her words. They were more lethal than any poison to the soul.

I shifted my gaze from Sheila to him, his hazel irises were completely black. My pain was now replaced by more rage. I released my hold on Sheila's arm and turned to Kaiser.

His hair was gleaming under the bright moon and his black gaze mirrored the expression of the moon.

Immediately, my hands sharpened into claws, and so did Kaiser.

"Kaiser!" She screamed as I was about to lunge at him and stepped in between us. "Please don't!"

"He has no fucking right—" she kept on pleading. The scene before me kept infuriating me. Now she was worried about her fucking lover getting hurt.

I growled, barreling my claws at him. Swiftly, I felt a puncturing pain within me. We fought against each other, while Sheila's pleas kept invading my ears, distracting me. Kaiser and I were already badly wounded, fighting against each other, but none of us was ready to stop. I swear I could die with the rage felt if I didn't end this bastard's life tonight.

"Stop it!" Sheila's scream pierced right through us, echoing into the night and frightening the night's air.

In an instant, Kaiser and I were sent flying in two opposite directions. I crashed hard against a tree, its sharp branch wood piercing into my stomach.

I groaned, breathing heavily as I ripped the branch from the tree and pulled it out of me. I charged at Kaiser again but Sheila blocked me.

"Enough of this fucking madness you two, please," Sheila was in the middle of the clearing field, her eyes darting from Kaiser to me.

The darkness around us and the entire meadow was dead silent. He was glaring at me so hard before his lips parted and broke the deafening cold silence. "It's over, you can't stay with this godforsaken asshole anymore, let's go, Sheila," Kaiser's voice sounded, and his last words made me freeze.

My pale gaze immediately shifted from Kaiser to Sheila, seeking her out, pinning her to my stare. I wanted to see exactly what she would do.

Sheila's gaze left mine and fell back on Kaiser. "Kai, please, I beg you, leave now,"

"Like fuck I will. I am not leaving you here with him. He's—" Kaiser was immensely enraged. His rage and her worry made me go mad.

"Please, Kai," she implored more, he was about to counter her again but she took a few steps closer to him. "Just do this for me, please,"

Kaiser stopped at her words. He was shaking with vexation, clearly not loving her decision.

Abruptly, I scoffed. I was not going to stand here and be a witness to this absurdity.

I stormed away from the meadow, returning to the unwelcoming coldness of the woods. My breathing was hard and rough. The image of Sheila running into his arms haunted my consciousness.

"Killian,'' I heard Sheila's call from behind. But I kept on moving, not even sparing a glance behind. "Killian," she yelled all the more as she finally caught up with me, blocking my path.

My eyes landed on her. Even with the canopy trees that had impeded the moon's light from penetrating the woods. I could see her electric blue eyes. Those perfect blue eyes had always regarded me with so much love. What the fuck went wrong?
