The Alpha's Curse The Enemy Within

Chapter 126

Sheila's point of view

I was in my chamber. And I just couldn't fall asleep after my conversation with Leonardo. I couldn't stop thinking of the so many possibilities that Thea could have a lover and her child wasn't Killian's.

And I wished that was the case. But I only sounded like a mate who was trying to refute the obvious truth that another woman was expecting her mate's child.

That was exactly how my newfound theory and suspicion sounded to me. But I didn't care how I sounded. I had always trusted my gut feeling, and I always knew something about Thea was off. She was capable of doing anything to remain in Killian's pack and keep us apart. And I gave her what she always wanted by leaving the pack.

Valerie was right. I shouldn't let her get everything. I sighed, falling on the bed. My eyes fell on Killian's letter that was on the bed beside me.

I reached for it, pulling it open. I felt a tug in my chest as my eyes began to carry each word. I couldn't fight the pain that enveloped me as I could feel Killian's pain embedded in each word. I tossed the paper on the bed as soon as I was done reading, my eyes were covered with tears that I couldn't hold back.

I pulled my eyes open and I knew I had to go back. I had to be with Killian and I had to somehow find out if my suspicion about Thea was right.

I curled up on the bed, with my eyes awake, thinking of Killian as I prayed for the arrival of dawn. It was better like this than having to fall asleep, knowing I would dream about someone else.

*****

Killian's point of view

I was at the door of Thea's chamber. I pulled it open gently without knocking, finding her sleeping peacefully underneath the covers. I closed the door behind me, my eyes searching around the neatly arranged chamber. It was going to be difficult to find anything here without Thea knowing.

I walked around the room, glancing at every corner, hoping to remember something I had seen with her the first day the goddess had cursed me to make our paths collide.

My eyes fell on her dressing table and I went over there, before I could take a look at her drawer, I felt a stir in the bed, and the rhythm of her sleeping heartbeat changed. She was awake now.

I dived my hands into my pockets, glancing at the items on her table, knowing she was watching me. This woman just keeps getting strange, and this only increases my suspicion that she was dangerous.

I turned around and she was fixed in a sleepy position and her long lashes were pressed close. I sauntered to the bedside, watching her pretend to be asleep for a while before turning for the door.

I was almost at the door when I heard her soft call, making me stop and turn around.

"Killian," she called again, pulling up from the bed a little.

"You are awake, I didn't mean to wake you up," I blended with whatever drama she was going for.

"What are you doing here?" She asked, scrutinizing me cautiously.

"What else? To see you," I replied, taking slow steps toward the bed.

Thea positioned herself in a sitting position, intentionally adjusting her white velvet nightdress so that one could see a detailed outline of her breasts and everything she wanted to show.

"That's sweet, Killian," she released one of her smiles that had successfully blinded me all this time, making me believe she was the purest of hearts when she was only a devil incarnate herself.

"How are you doing?" I asked, finally next to her.

"Great, just a little sad you don't come around often. Sometimes, your child misses you," she muttered, pulling her eyes down to her stomach.

I could feel Ryker log himself out from the surface. I took a seat on her bed, my hand pulled up to her cheek, caressing it softly. Thea leaned into my touch.


"Oh, Killian you have no idea how much I missed you," she whispered, as my hand moved to the back of her neck, getting lost in her long ebony hair.

Thea placed a hand on my chest, leaning closer to me, her lips were aiming for mine.

"Thea," I pulled up from the bed, shoving my hand into my pants.

"I am sorry, Killian," she looked away from my gaze, and I saw a tear slip down from her eyes.

Fucking hell, how couldn't I see past this pretense. Suddenly, I felt rage in my bones. I turned my gaze away from her before I lost it.

"I know things haven't been great between us, but you are expecting my pup, Thea, and I want both of you to be fine," I said to her, and she smiled.

"Me too, Killian. I hate it whenever we fight."

"I want you to be careful, the warriors have been dealing with some unusual movement in the pack's territory. Some unknown wolves have been trying to break in, and I am guessing it's from your previous pack," I paused, watching her reaction.

"How can you be so sure, it could be unrelated to my past," she said, counting her words, regarding me deeply.

"Or completely related to it. Remember, Thea," I drew closer to her on the bed. "You are now carrying my pup; your safety is my priority."

"Killian," she smiled, pulling out from the bed. "I love it when you get protective over me. But that asshole of an Alpha doesn't even know where I am."

"How can you be so sure, Thea, if he wanted you dead, he wouldn't stop until he found you," I was getting annoyed.

"But I have been under the raider since my arrival here, he can't find me. Don't worry too much," she muttered, and before I could respond, she began to strip naked, her eyes never leaving mine while her lips held a smile.
