Alpha Killian
Chapter 37

"Killian's

P.ON"

Our fast pace came to a halt as we approached the house in the middle of the woods. It was the perfect location for a safe house. Completely off any packs teritory and far enough away from town to subdue any suspicion. Each of us shifted into our human form and slipped on a pair of sweatpants.

"What would you have us do, Alpha?" The tracker turned and asked. The rest of the men's eyes were on my own.

I grimaced at the house only twenty feet away, °KTM them al. If you see Damien, capture him. I want him alive" I growled, mind-linking them an image of Damien I pulled from Claire.

I watched a5 a big man came out into the porch, and I didn't hesitate. I launched myself through the brush and across the yard of the house. The man registered me a moment too late. I felt my nails extend into claws as I shoved them into the man's eye: sockets. 'The man reeked of urine and panic as he struggled to remove my claws from his eyes.

"Where is she!" I growled, digging my claws in deeper.

'The man sputtered and screamed, "I-I- Insidel" His voice was garbled and weak.

Iraked my claws across his throat and tossed his draining body to the ground. A perfect image of Claire resided in my mind, forcing me onward.

There were more than a dozen men in the house, and I wasn't surprised. They had known we were coming.

Without warning, I ipped open the front door and launched myself at the closest human. The rest of the wolves with me

followed suit. I was completely in my element. The smell of blood and sweat filled the air along with screams of agony. A few gunshots rang

out, but that didn't deter me. Pathetic hunters were no match for werewolves, let alone anyone from my pack.

I could feel Titan ripping and shredding his opponents with glee. The more hunters we k***d, the closer we were to Claire.

Ilost myselfin the camage, tapping into my base animalistc intincts. A red tinge clouded my vision, but I had never been more lethal.

It 3 hand grasp my shoulder and I tumed with my claws raised. "Alpha, their all &*°d" The tracker murmured, snapping me out of my murderous rampage. Tooked around at the camage before me. Blood painted the walls and bodies ittered the floor, but I could've cared less.

"Alph, I earched upstairs" One of the men bounded down the stars.

Igrowled, "Did you find Damien? Is Clare here?"

"Damien isn't here, it likely the coward left before we arrived. There i a locked door upstairs, and her scentis all over t❞ The. man nodded.

At is last words I lurched forward and sped up the stars, letting her creamy scent guide me. I knew I was standing i front of the right door when her scent smelled stronger than ever.

With no hesitation, I Ifted my foot and knocked the door down.

My heart was nearly pounding out of my chest. I wasn't sure what Id do if she wasn't here. This was my last resort. I knew the hunters intended to k"I us both, but certainly they wouldn't be 50 stupid as to KTMI her and leave me alive.

The door clashed to the ground and my eyes searched the b*e room frantically.

"Claire.” Her name rolled from my lips as I met her ocean colored eyes.

Itwas as f allof the tension had finally left my body, All o the stress, agony, and rage had vanished at her appearance. I could

feel the rage return, tightening my muscles as I scanned her for any wounds. She looked beautiful yet horrible. Her hair was a mess of knots, and she looked a5 though she hadn't eaten since being taken. Even after being kidnapped for over a week, she was the most beautiful Itte thing I had ever seen.

Her blue eyes were wide with shock as they scanned my face, and i felt my heart leap when her cheeks tumed their familiar

shade of pink.

"Killian?" My name fel from her lips and it sounded like music. I had never felt fear like this in my life, the fear of losing my mate.

As my name left her perfect lips, I lunged forward and scooped her into my arms. I felt her wrap her legs around my waist, and et out a sigh as the sparks scattered along my skin.

I buried my face in her neck and breathed deeply. Her scent was as incredible s ever. I wrapped my arms around her torso tighter when I felt her shaking.

I could feel her every emotion as though it were coming from myself. I could taste her fear, love, relef, and her anger.

"Ilove you, Killan:* She whimpered into my neck and I fet Titan nearly demolish my sef control.

'She pulled her face away from my neck and slammed her lips against my own with desperation and I completely caved under her touch.

"You're never leaving my side again." I growled after we finally pulled away from eachother. I held her close to me, absolutely. refusing to set her down. It would be quite some time before I would. I had over a week to makeup for.

Iwas so absorbed in my litie mate, I had completely forgotten about the rest of the men. I could feel many of their eyes on me as they followed me up the stairs. A it giggle escaped Claire'spink lps, anl I looked at hr in awe. I was thinking the same thing" Just then, Claie said something that completely caught me off guard.

"Did you find him? Did you find Damien?" Her voice came out i an angry whisper, I want to b the one to TM him, Kian"

"Shbih" I rubbed circies aong her back when she tared shaking, "1 find i, Care. I won't rest unti I do."

1 carred Claie out from the house and climbed into one of the hunters SUV'. I had one of the men search each ofthe vehicles

fortrackers, When things were clar the rest of them piled ino diferent vehicles

“Kilfan” Her angelic sleepy voice called out from the crook of my neck.

"Yes, Tt mte?" I had never been more relieved to hear omeone say my voice.

Clire murmured a e, and I knew she was fighting seep. He has a sistr, Kilfan" Clire hispered.
