In one swift motion, he caught her by the neck, his grip unyielding. Lara snarled and thrashed, but Killian’s strength was overwhelming.

“You foolish, useless wolf,” Killian growled, his voice dripping with disdain. “You think you can defy me and live?”

With a cruel smile, he threw Lara against a nearby tree, the impact shaking the ground beneath us. Pain tore through me as I felt every blow she endured.

Lara tried to stand, but Killian’s foot pressed down on her, pinning her to the ground.

“You’ll learn your place,” he hissed. “Both of you.”

My body began to shift again, the pain unbearable as Lara was forced back, and I returned to my human form. Lying on the ground, broken and bleeding, I looked up at him with all the hatred I could muster.

“I hate you,” I whispered, my voice barely audible.

Killian’s expression didn’t change.

A sharp, twisting pain spread through my stomach, making me groan as I curled further into my bed.

I had been sick for the past week, barely able to eat, my body constantly aching. The maids had been tending to me, helping me when I was too weak to move.

The dull ache had grown into a relentless throbbing, making my body feel heavy and exhausted.

The sound of the door opening pulled me from my thoughts.

I turned my head slowly, watching as Keal and Killian walked in.

Their faces immediately darkened with concern when they saw me.

Killian was the first to move. He sat on the edge of my bed, his eyes scanning my face.

"You're still sick?" he asked, his voice low and worried.
