The Alpha's Curse The Enemy Within

Chapter 118

Sheila's point of view

I was in a meeting with Morgan and some ranking old wolves from the village pack at the far northern borders of the pack's territory.

I could hear nothing, except the consistent tapping of my padded fingers against the flat surface of the round table in the court.

I had tried to tear my thoughts away, but I couldn't. Killian's words had been hounding my thoughts all morning. I just couldn't fathom his words. And I couldn't quell the rage that kept growing within me every time Killian's words echoed in my mind.

I couldn't understand why he still wanted Thea around after everything. I thought he would be ecstatic to have her out of the pack. Several thoughts raced through my mind as I tried to come up with a reason why Killian would plead with me not to throw Thea out, yet.

I took a deep breath when I heard the sharp call of my name. I snapped my head to my right where Morgan was seated not far from me.

His green careful eyes were on me, watching me closely with concern. "Are you alright?"

I could feel everyone's eyes on me. I released a small assuring smile, nodding, "I am alright. Please, let's continue."

"What do you think about it, Luna?" Elder Zed asked.

I coughed, cleared my throat, and tried to think back to what we were previously discussing. Carelessly, I'd let my thoughts wander far.

"I uhm…" I started when abruptly, the tall doors of the court burst open. I swayed my head in its direction, and my eyes went round with rage as it landed on Thea, standing in front of the court doors.

"What the hell is that bitch doing here?" Adie spat angrily as she rose at the back of my mind.

"What the hell are you doing here, Thea?" I lifted my chin, shooting daggers at her, and the ridiculous dress she had on and the manner she decorated herself.

My blue eyes met up with the dark gleam in her eyes and the smug on her face. Something had changed from the last time I had seen her. She had an annoying smirk on her lips that I wanted to beat off.

"Oh, I apologize for interrupting," she strutted in, striking a stance before us all. "I was waiting to have an audience with every one of you, but this meeting was taking such a long time—"

"Whatever you have to say can wait, we are in the middle of an important meeting," one of the ranking wolves sounded.

"It could, but this is a matter of utmost importance as well. Alpha Killian had promised to have a word with you all, but he hasn't."

I creased my brows as a dangerous rage began to beat within me, overrunning the fear that prickled at my chest.

"Thea, get out," Came Morgan's voice.

"I will," she smiled, not taking her brown eyes off me. "But not after I say what I have to say."

I was up from my chair instantly. I felt squeezy and uneasy from the inside. I knew whatever Thea had to say was the reason behind Killian's unexplainable attitude these days. I knew it was something I wouldn't like, something that would change my life forever, or maybe worse, leave Killian and me in ruins.

I felt the raging banging of my heart in my chest, making it hard to breathe, and even though it caused chaos in my soul, I tried my hardest to hide it all away.

Morgan called for the warriors outside the Court doors, and immediately, both Jax and Nate hurried in.

"Take her out," Morgan ordered, and Jax and Nate charged closer to Thea, she didn't even bother to resist as her eyes kept prodding mine.


"And please, see her back to her chamber. Grab every damned belonging of hers, and escort her out of the Pack's territory," I turned to Jax and Nate, without breaking eye contact with Thea, and her persistent smirk was still glued to her lips.

Jax and Nate bowed their heads in respect. They held Thea's arms as she refused to move from her position.

"Like I said, I will not leave here until I tell you all, what I have to say. Believe me, it'll interest all of you," her eyes scanned over every ranking member at the round table before they finally returned to mine. "Especially you."

"I have no interest in you, Thea, even more, whatever garbage you have to spill. Take this trash from my sight," I said with my rage at its peak, and everyone could feel it.

Jax and Nate grabbed her and began to pull her out of the courtroom and she still didn't budge. Her eyes still held its evil gleam and her lips her irksome smile.

"What I have to say is the truth, and nothing less. Killian and I have been blessed by the goddess," she muttered calmly at the door. "I am pregnant with the Alpha's heir."

I froze completely, as my legs grew weak, and I staggered a step back, almost losing my balance.

I couldn't fight the abrupt stillness that shook my body as Thea's words kept resounding nonstop in my ears and the smugness on her face grew larger.

What? Thea was pregnant with Killian's child, and he knew it. He fucking knew it!

Thea held a smirk which made her words even more believable.

"That's ridiculous!" I heard one of the old wolves say.

"Is it? Does that sound ridiculous?" Her words shook the court. "I am pregnant with Killian's son and the Alpha's heir, and you think that sounds ridiculous?"

"Thea, you are a disgusting liar," Morgan voiced, charging at her. He grabbed her roughly on her hand, pushing her out of the door but she resisted.

"What proof do you want to consider my words true?" She barked, "Do you want Killian to attest to it himself, or rather still, you want me to tell you stories of the time Killian and I made love?"

Her pointed words pierced through the walls of my heart. I held on to the small fabric of my dress, curling it in a ball as I battled against the dangerous rage that vibrated within my bones, wanting to claim Thea's life as she kept rambling on.

The Court was a disaster, everyone was yelling, fighting against Thea, claiming her words were baseless fallacies, but deep down, I couldn't believe it.
