Killian

After I kissed her hand, I felt something I didn't understand. I wanted her to know what exactly I get about her and so, I took her lips in mine without asking.

After a long while, the kiss broke not because I wanted it to, but because my lungs demanded air. Even then, my lips clung to hers like they had forgotten how to exist apart. When we pulled away, both of us panting, our eyes locked, and there was no need for words. Everything unspoken pulsed in the space between us… desperation,

  • Reborn to Defy Fate   115. The Storm She Became

    LyraThe forest swallowed my cries. Each breath burned, each stride ripped through the undergrowth like a blade through silk. My lungs screamed for mercy, but the bond, our fragile, dying bond, dragged me forward.Killian.It wasn’t just his name echoing inside me. It was his heartbeat, fading. His wolf’s howls pressed against my ribs until my bones ached. The pull was faint at first, a trembling thread of silver, but then it tightened around my soul and I knew… I was close.The night trembled with strange energy. Shadows rippled, the moon bled red through the clouds, and every gust of wind whispered the same thing: Hurry.The scent of burnt herbs and blood hit me first. Then the chanting, low, rhythmic, dark. My skin crawled as the language twisted through the trees like snakes. My magic stirred in answer, wild and hungry.When I broke through the last line of trees, I froze.The clearing was carved into the earth like a wound. Candles formed a circle around a stone altar, runes pulsi

  • Reborn to Defy Fate   114. The Shattering Circle

    KillianThe scent of iron and burning sage clung to the air, thick enough to choke on. My wrists were already raw where the silver chains dug through skin, heat pulsing against my bones like molten fire. I could hear my heartbeat, erratic, loud, and too close, as Damon and Morwein circled me like vultures.The cabin felt colder than it should have been. The floor beneath my knees was etched with strange markings, spirals of salt and blood and ash that pulsed with a dark, rhythmic glow. I knew what it was before Morwein even began to chant. I had seen it before, in fragments of my other life, that same cursed sigil that once tore my wolf out of me and left me hollow.But this time… this time I wasn’t the same broken man.“Hold still,” Damon murmured from behind me, his voice smooth, almost tender, but wrong, too controlled, too calm. The humanity that used to color his tone was gone. What spoke now was the shadow of the man I once knew, coated in something feral.“Damon,” I croaked, tas

  • Reborn to Defy Fate   113. The Cracks in the Circle

    DamonThe floor trembled beneath my feet. The flickering candles scattered around the ritual circle burst one after another, spilling hot wax across the wood and shattering glass vials into glittering shards. Morwein’s voice, once sharp and commanding, faltered into a strangled gasp as the sigils that she had carved into the floor began to split and burn away, their crimson glow devoured by something greater, older, wild and furious.“No!” She shrieked, clutching her book of runes to her chest. “It’s breaking! The channel is collapsing…”I didn’t need her to tell me that. I could feel it. The air that moments ago thrummed with power now screamed with resistance. The circle was bleeding energy, snapping like a wounded beast. My heart raced as I turned to Killian, my Killian, still chained in the center, his skin seared where silver touched flesh, his body twitching as waves of pain rolled through him.His wolf howled inside him, and I could hear it. It wasn’t supposed to be possible, n

  • Reborn to Defy Fate   112. Nature Answering

    LyraThe forest no longer felt like a forest.It felt alive. It was restless, angry and aware.Each step I took sent whispers skittering through the leaves, as though the very ground remembered my footsteps from another life. Every gust of wind hissed my name. The deeper I went, the colder it became, until even my breath came out as pale ribbons of mist.Killian’s presence pulsed faintly at first, a tremor, a flicker at the edge of consciousness, but it was enough to set my veins alight. Every heartbeat thudded to his rhythm, out of sync but trying to align. I followed it because there was nothing else left to follow.Moonveil moved inside me like a prowling shadow, impatient.You feel him, she whispered, her voice half-snarl, half-song. Do not falter now.“I’m not,” I panted, though my legs burned. “Just… show me the path.”You already know it.And she was right. My feet found it instinctively, a narrow, overgrown trail winding toward the part of the woods no one dared to enter. The

  • Reborn to Defy Fate   111. The Chains of Fate

    Even pain remembers the one who caused it.Killian The silence of the cabin presses in on me, thick and strange. It smells like smoke and pine and the faint tang of iron. I can still taste it on my tongue, the echo of silver. My wrists ache from invisible bruises, though Damon hasn’t chained me yet. Not this time. Not yet.But it feels so real as if it has just happened. I just can't come to terms with the fact that they, Damon and Selene, won in another life.I close my eyes and reach inward.“Are you there?” I whisper in my mind.For a moment, there’s only static, then a low growl, rough and ancient.“Barely,” my wolf answers. His voice sounds like it’s coming through broken glass. “You are weak, Killian. Too weak. The silver laced in the air… it’s seeping into you.”I breathe through the dizziness. “But you’re still here.”A pause. Then, softly, “for now. But I can feel the magic around us, it’s draining me. The witch’s doing. You need to fight it before it seals us apart again.

  • Reborn to Defy Fate   110. A Fighting Chance

    KillianWhen Damon left the room, I didn’t move for a long time. I listened to the echo of his footsteps fading down the hall, then let out a shaky breath.Oh, gods. I couldn't believe that I had lived through this once and died in Damon's hands. What had I been thinking? After he took Lyra from me in this life, I should have known. I should have known that he wasn't the brother I grew up with. He was twisted and he thought love was taking all that I valued from my life.“Muscle and mind,” I whispered to myself. “No. Not this time. I wouldn't allow it.”I pressed a hand against my chest, over the faint thrum of the bond that refused to die. It was weak, almost ghostly, but still there. I focused on it, closing my eyes.Lyra…The name alone carried weight.I pushed past the dizziness, the throbbing behind my eyes, and reached deeper. The space between us felt like wading through fog and ice. I could feel her heartbeat faintly, her fear, her confusion.Lyra, I called again, silently. Ca

  • Reborn to Defy Fate   49. Shattered Lies

    LyraThe silence that followed Selene’s collapse was thick, but not nearly enough to erase the smirk on Damon’s face. He thought he had won, thought I had been cornered, stripped of dignity, tossed into the jaws of humiliation with no hope of defense.I let them think that.I stayed quiet while whi

  • Reborn to Defy Fate   47. The Perfect Lie

    DamonThere was no moment like now and today was the day.I had dreamed of this moment for far too long. For nights, I had rehearsed every word, every sneer, every calculated look I would wear when I finally brought Lyra crumbling to her knees in front of those self-righteous elders. And now, as Se

    LyraI felt renewed and I was happy.I didn’t realize how heavy my steps were until Killian reached for my hand. His grip was steady, firm, grounding me as he led me down the grand corridor of the Alpha’s wing.The air felt different here, thicker, richer, and as usual, humming with authority. The
