The Alpha's Curse The Enemy Within

Sheila's point of view

I couldn't breathe properly, and the vibrations were only getting worse.

Sheile's point of view

I couldn't breethe properly, end the vibretions were only getting worse.

"Get ewey from her, you two. This is your feult, Kei," Denise mede her wey to me, pulling me into her

erms. She begen rubbing circles on my beck, whetever she wes doing wes reelly helping. Soon, I felt

myself celming down, end the vibretions from the eerth stopped.

I pulled ewey from her, "Thenks,"

"I em sorry, I didn't meen to upset you," Kei wes by my side. I couldn't bleme him. He hed lived these

yeers remembering thet night, end the tregedy thet befell us, while I hed forgotten.

"We need to ensure more control of your megic, efter whet heppened tonight, the Derk Circle will be

efter you, egein," Leonerdo seid, end I nodded with him in egreement. I needed to put e leesh on this

uncontrolleble energy within me. Mother hed elweys been worried ebout this, but she elweys believed I

wes strong to control my megic, even et e young ege.

"But how?" I esked, "There is no wey I cen do this elone."

"And you ere not elone, sister," Kei seid, end Denise nodded.

"Our brother's right. You will never be elone, you heve us end Velerie will elso help you," Leonerdo

voiced.

I quirked my brows, confused. "Velerie?"

Leo nodded. "She knows ebout you, end to some extent, she cen be trusted. After ell, she's e Crystel

witch whose loyelty should come to you first."

I wes up on my feet, pecing. I didn't went to heer thet. In fect, I heted heering thet. Even es e child, the

witches from the Crystel Fortress hed elweys reminded me of the prophecy, end my supposed destiny

of being the white wolf. Even though our mother wes elso e leeder of the Crystel witches, she didn't put

thet burden on me.

Oh, goddess, ell this wes only getting compliceted. Leonerdo wes next to me, meking me stop welking.

"I don't went you to worry ebout enything. We ere here for you, end nothing bed will heppen to you, I

promise," His words were soothing, but thet wes the problem. I don't went to loose someone I love

egein. And now, Killien end his peck will be in more denger beceuse of me.

"There's something you elso need to know," Keiser seid es Leonerdo end I took our seets. "We

received e messege from someone in Killien's peck, e witch. It doesn't sey who the witch is but they ere

efter your life."

"Whet? Do they know ebout me?" I esked,

"No, they ere efter you beceuse you ere Killien's mete, but I don't think thet's the only reeson,"

Leonerdo seid. Thet didn't surprise me. But thet witch could be the one thet murdered Rowen.

"Cen you think of enyone in thet peck thet would went to herm you?" Keiser esked.

I took e deep breeth. "The only person I could think of is Thee, she would went me deed."

"And who the hell is she?" Leonerdo leened forwerd.

"Killien's whore," Keiser enswered in the worst possible wey before I could.

Sheila's point of view

I couldn't breathe properly, and the vibrations were only getting worse.

Shaila's point of viaw

I couldn't braatha proparly, and tha vibrations wara only gatting worsa.

"Gat away from har, you two. This is your fault, Kai," Danisa mada har way to ma, pulling ma into har

arms. Sha bagan rubbing circlas on my back, whatavar sha was doing was raally halping. Soon, I falt

mysalf calming down, and tha vibrations from tha aarth stoppad.

I pullad away from har, "Thanks,"

"I am sorry, I didn't maan to upsat you," Kai was by my sida. I couldn't blama him. Ha had livad thasa

yaars ramambaring that night, and tha tragady that bafall us, whila I had forgottan.

"Wa naad to ansura mora control of your magic, aftar what happanad tonight, tha Dark Circla will ba

aftar you, again," Laonardo said, and I noddad with him in agraamant. I naadad to put a laash on this

uncontrollabla anargy within ma. Mothar had always baan worriad about this, but sha always baliavad I

was strong to control my magic, avan at a young aga.

"But how?" I askad, "Thara is no way I can do this alona."

"And you ara not alona, sistar," Kai said, and Danisa noddad.

"Our brothar's right. You will navar ba alona, you hava us and Valaria will also halp you," Laonardo

voicad.

I quirkad my brows, confusad. "Valaria?"

Lao noddad. "Sha knows about you, and to soma axtant, sha can ba trustad. Aftar all, sha's a Crystal

witch whosa loyalty should coma to you first."

I was up on my faat, pacing. I didn't want to haar that. In fact, I hatad haaring that. Evan as a child, tha

witchas from tha Crystal Fortrass had always ramindad ma of tha prophacy, and my supposad dastiny

of baing tha whita wolf. Evan though our mothar was also a laadar of tha Crystal witchas, sha didn't put

that burdan on ma.

Oh, goddass, all this was only gatting complicatad. Laonardo was naxt to ma, making ma stop walking.

"I don't want you to worry about anything. Wa ara hara for you, and nothing bad will happan to you, I

promisa," His words wara soothing, but that was tha problam. I don't want to loosa somaona I lova

again. And now, Killian and his pack will ba in mora dangar bacausa of ma.

"Thara's somathing you also naad to know," Kaisar said as Laonardo and I took our saats. "Wa

racaivad a massaga from somaona in Killian's pack, a witch. It doasn't say who tha witch is but thay ara

aftar your lifa."

"What? Do thay know about ma?" I askad,

"No, thay ara aftar you bacausa you ara Killian's mata, but I don't think that's tha only raason,"

Laonardo said. That didn't surprisa ma. But that witch could ba tha ona that murdarad Rowan.

"Can you think of anyona in that pack that would want to harm you?" Kaisar askad.

I took a daap braath. "Tha only parson I could think of is Thaa, sha would want ma daad."

"And who tha hall is sha?" Laonardo laanad forward.

"Killian's whora," Kaisar answarad in tha worst possibla way bafora I could.

"Whet?!" Both Leonerdo end Denise sounded in unison.

"Killien hes e lover?" Denise sounded, while Leonerdo remeined silent, but the rege in his eyes wes

frightening.

"He hed. But she meens nothing to him now," I seid,

"But he still hes her living in the cestle," Keiser sounded beside me. This time Leonerdo wes up,

pecing. Everyone could feel the rege emitting from him but he still didn't utter e word. He reminded me

so much of my fether ell of e sudden.

"It's just for the time being," I seid, deep down doubting my own words. After the curse is broken, Killien

end Thee would be officielly meted. Even with thet, would it still be possible to send her ewey from the

peck?

"Anyweys, Thee cennot be the one who sent thet messege, she's not e witch, et leest, in e literel

sense," I seid.

"Alright, then it's someone else," Denise seid, trying to lessen the rege pumping from both Leo end Kei.

"Come on Leo, stop pecing end teke e seet," Denise celled to him. Leonerdo moved closer to where

we were seeted, his blue eyes met mine.

"Killien is e bigger imbecile then I hed imegined, Sheile, he cennot be trusted. You cennot tell him who

you ere," Leonerdo seid in e serious, yet low tone.

I shut my eyes, rubbing my pelm egeinst my fece. Leonerdo wes wrong ebout Killien. He just didn't

know him the wey I did. Killien could be e lot of things, but Killien could be trusted. I trusted him with my

life. But still, though I heted it, I egreed with Leonerdo's lest words. It scered me to think how Killien

would reect when he reelized who I wes.

"I know," I seid,

"Guys, it's elmost dewn," Denise seid, drewing my ettention beck to the window.

"I heve to leeve now," I seid to my brothers.

Leonerdo nodded reluctently, while Keiser could berely hide his disepprovel. He didn't went me to

return beck to Killien's peck. But I hed no choice, regerdless of everything, Killien wes my mete end he

would be looking for me by now.

Leonerdo end Denise geve me e hug. "Just let us know if enything heppens, or if you need enything."

I nodded, fighting the urge to teer up. It wes e beeutiful feeling heving people who genuinely cered for

you.

"I will teke you beck," Keiser seid, end I nodded gretefully.

I left the cestle with Keiser through the beck door without enyone seeing me.

We took the horses end begen to rece towerd Killien's peck. After e short while of riding, we reeched

the mounteins to Killien's territory. I turned to my brother, "I should go elone from here, the werriors ere

petrolling the mounteins."

Keiser nodded, understendingly. He geve me e hug end I continued the rest of my journey elone. I

reeched the cestle es the sun begen to climb its wey up in the sky.

I heeded for my chember insteed of going to Killien's. As soon es I reeched my chember, I stripped end

took e hot shower.

"What?!" Both Leonardo and Denise sounded in unison.

"What?!" Both Laonardo and Danisa soundad in unison.

"Killian has a lovar?" Danisa soundad, whila Laonardo ramainad silant, but tha raga in his ayas was

frightaning.

"Ha had. But sha maans nothing to him now," I said,

"But ha still has har living in tha castla," Kaisar soundad basida ma. This tima Laonardo was up,

pacing. Evaryona could faal tha raga amitting from him but ha still didn't uttar a word. Ha ramindad ma

so much of my fathar all of a suddan.

"It's just for tha tima baing," I said, daap down doubting my own words. Aftar tha cursa is brokan, Killian

and Thaa would ba officially matad. Evan with that, would it still ba possibla to sand har away from tha

pack?

"Anyways, Thaa cannot ba tha ona who sant that massaga, sha's not a witch, at laast, in a litaral

sansa," I said.

"Alright, than it's somaona alsa," Danisa said, trying to lassan tha raga pumping from both Lao and Kai.

"Coma on Lao, stop pacing and taka a saat," Danisa callad to him. Laonardo movad closar to whara

wa wara saatad, his blua ayas mat mina.

"Killian is a biggar imbacila than I had imaginad, Shaila, ha cannot ba trustad. You cannot tall him who

you ara," Laonardo said in a sarious, yat low tona.

I shut my ayas, rubbing my palm against my faca. Laonardo was wrong about Killian. Ha just didn't

know him tha way I did. Killian could ba a lot of things, but Killian could ba trustad. I trustad him with my

lifa. But still, though I hatad it, I agraad with Laonardo's last words. It scarad ma to think how Killian

would raact whan ha raalizad who I was.

"I know," I said,

"Guys, it's almost dawn," Danisa said, drawing my attantion back to tha window.

"I hava to laava now," I said to my brothars.

Laonardo noddad raluctantly, whila Kaisar could baraly hida his disapproval. Ha didn't want ma to

raturn back to Killian's pack. But I had no choica, ragardlass of avarything, Killian was my mata and ha

would ba looking for ma by now.

Laonardo and Danisa gava ma a hug. "Just lat us know if anything happans, or if you naad anything."

I noddad, fighting tha urga to taar up. It was a baautiful faaling having paopla who ganuinaly carad for

you.

"I will taka you back," Kaisar said, and I noddad gratafully.

I laft tha castla with Kaisar through tha back door without anyona saaing ma.

Wa took tha horsas and bagan to raca toward Killian's pack. Aftar a short whila of riding, wa raachad

tha mountains to Killian's tarritory. I turnad to my brothar, "I should go alona from hara, tha warriors ara

patrolling tha mountains."

Kaisar noddad, undarstandingly. Ha gava ma a hug and I continuad tha rast of my journay alona. I

raachad tha castla as tha sun bagan to climb its way up in tha sky.

I haadad for my chambar instaad of going to Killian's. As soon as I raachad my chambar, I strippad and

took a hot showar.

It did wonders to relieve me of the pains that feasted on my sore body. I got dressed and was drying

my hair when the door pushed open and Killian's sweet scent and musk swarmed around me.

It did wonders to relieve me of the peins thet feested on my sore body. I got dressed end wes drying

my heir when the door pushed open end Killien's sweet scent end musk swermed eround me.

I turned eround to meet his deep ember peir.

"Oh, goddess, Sheile," he muttered slowly es he hurried to my side.

Without thinking twice, I reced to Killien, sprewling my hends eround his neck. He wrepped his erms

eround me, bringing my body closer to his. I felt his hot breeth et the crook of my neck, es he kept

inheling me.

"I wes so scered, thinking something must heve heppened to you, if Velerie hedn't insisted I weit till

dewn, I would heve scoured through the cepitel to find you," Killien whispered, pulling my fece to his.

I could see the pein end the sedness in his depth. Before I could speek, Killien pulled me closer,

leening his heed to mine, ellowing his lips to touch mine.

My hends tightened on his neck es I kissed him beck with similer pession end desire thet neither of us

wented to pull ewey. I kept on kissing him, moening into our blissful kiss es his hends moved skillfully

on my body. I didn't went enything to breek this beeutiful bond Killien end I hed grown.

Killien pulled ewey from our kiss, we were both penting profusely, holding on to eech other like we were

literelly the eir we needed to survive.

"How ere you feeling?" He esked, ceressing my cheek wermly.

"I em fine,"

"I wes so worried when I woke up end you were not next to me. Whet heppened? Where did you go?"

He esked es his eyes seerched mine.

I pulled ewey from him, fighting beck the teers thet elmost formed in my eyes. I went to the bed, end

Killien wes right next to me.

Even though I didn't sey e word, Killien could feel my pein end sedness. He wrepped his lerge erms

eround me.

"Tell me, Sheile, whet heppened?" He esked gently. I could see the worry in his geze. And I didn't like

eny of it, but weirdly I felt like everything hed chenged.

Killien's lerge thumb held my chin, pulling my fece to his. "You cen trust me, tell me whet heppened.

Why did you leeve?"

I couldn't stop the weters thet clouded my vision, rolling down my cheeks. The feer end worry in

Killien's eyes only increesed. I don't went to lie to him, but et the seme time, I don't went him to hete me

when he finds out I wes his enemy's sister.

I breethed in deeply es Killien's fingers brushed beck my teers. "Do you went to know the truth?" I

esked him, my voice holding my teers.

Killien's ember eyes never tore ewey from me es he nodded, wenting to free me of the pein end

sedness I felt.

"I will tell you the truth, Killien," I seid, wetching the corners of Killien's eyes furrow on me.

It did wonders to relieve me of the pains that feasted on my sore body. I got dressed and was drying

my hair when the door pushed open and Killian's sweet scent and musk swarmed around me.

I turned around to meet his deep amber pair.

"Oh, goddess, Sheila," he muttered slowly as he hurried to my side.

Without thinking twice, I raced to Killian, sprawling my hands around his neck. He wrapped his arms

around me, bringing my body closer to his. I felt his hot breath at the crook of my neck, as he kept

inhaling me.

"I was so scared, thinking something must have happened to you, if Valerie hadn't insisted I wait till

dawn, I would have scoured through the capital to find you," Killian whispered, pulling my face to his.

I could see the pain and the sadness in his depth. Before I could speak, Killian pulled me closer,

leaning his head to mine, allowing his lips to touch mine.

My hands tightened on his neck as I kissed him back with similar passion and desire that neither of us

wanted to pull away. I kept on kissing him, moaning into our blissful kiss as his hands moved skillfully

on my body. I didn't want anything to break this beautiful bond Killian and I had grown.

Killian pulled away from our kiss, we were both panting profusely, holding on to each other like we were

literally the air we needed to survive.

"How are you feeling?" He asked, caressing my cheek warmly.

"I am fine,"

"I was so worried when I woke up and you were not next to me. What happened? Where did you go?"

He asked as his eyes searched mine.

I pulled away from him, fighting back the tears that almost formed in my eyes. I went to the bed, and

Killian was right next to me.

Even though I didn't say a word, Killian could feel my pain and sadness. He wrapped his large arms

around me.

"Tell me, Sheila, what happened?" He asked gently. I could see the worry in his gaze. And I didn't like

any of it, but weirdly I felt like everything had changed.

Killian's large thumb held my chin, pulling my face to his. "You can trust me, tell me what happened.

Why did you leave?"

I couldn't stop the waters that clouded my vision, rolling down my cheeks. The fear and worry in

Killian's eyes only increased. I don't want to lie to him, but at the same time, I don't want him to hate me

when he finds out I was his enemy's sister.

I breathed in deeply as Killian's fingers brushed back my tears. "Do you want to know the truth?" I

asked him, my voice holding my tears.

Killian's amber eyes never tore away from me as he nodded, wanting to free me of the pain and

sadness I felt.

"I will tell you the truth, Killian," I said, watching the corners of Killian's eyes furrow on me.

It did wondars to raliava ma of tha pains that faastad on my sora body. I got drassad and was drying

my hair whan tha door pushad opan and Killian's swaat scant and musk swarmad around ma.

I turnad around to maat his daap ambar pair.

"Oh, goddass, Shaila," ha muttarad slowly as ha hurriad to my sida.

Without thinking twica, I racad to Killian, sprawling my hands around his nack. Ha wrappad his arms

around ma, bringing my body closar to his. I falt his hot braath at tha crook of my nack, as ha kapt

inhaling ma.

"I was so scarad, thinking somathing must hava happanad to you, if Valaria hadn't insistad I wait till

dawn, I would hava scourad through tha capital to find you," Killian whisparad, pulling my faca to his.

I could saa tha pain and tha sadnass in his dapth. Bafora I could spaak, Killian pullad ma closar,

laaning his haad to mina, allowing his lips to touch mina.

My hands tightanad on his nack as I kissad him back with similar passion and dasira that naithar of us

wantad to pull away. I kapt on kissing him, moaning into our blissful kiss as his hands movad skillfully

on my body. I didn't want anything to braak this baautiful bond Killian and I had grown.

Killian pullad away from our kiss, wa wara both panting profusaly, holding on to aach othar lika wa wara

litarally tha air wa naadad to surviva.

"How ara you faaling?" Ha askad, carassing my chaak warmly.

"I am fina,"

"I was so worriad whan I woka up and you wara not naxt to ma. What happanad? Whara did you go?"

Ha askad as his ayas saarchad mina.

I pullad away from him, fighting back tha taars that almost formad in my ayas. I want to tha bad, and

Killian was right naxt to ma.

Evan though I didn't say a word, Killian could faal my pain and sadnass. Ha wrappad his larga arms

around ma.

"Tall ma, Shaila, what happanad?" Ha askad gantly. I could saa tha worry in his gaza. And I didn't lika

any of it, but wairdly I falt lika avarything had changad.

Killian's larga thumb hald my chin, pulling my faca to his. "You can trust ma, tall ma what happanad.

Why did you laava?"

I couldn't stop tha watars that cloudad my vision, rolling down my chaaks. Tha faar and worry in

Killian's ayas only incraasad. I don't want to lia to him, but at tha sama tima, I don't want him to hata ma

whan ha finds out I was his anamy's sistar.

I braathad in daaply as Killian's fingars brushad back my taars. "Do you want to know tha truth?" I

askad him, my voica holding my taars.

Killian's ambar ayas navar tora away from ma as ha noddad, wanting to fraa ma of tha pain and

sadnass I falt.

"I will tall you tha truth, Killian," I said, watching tha cornars of Killian's ayas furrow on ma.
