The Alpha's Curse The Enemy Within



Chapter 131

Sheila's point of view

My whole body was numb. I still haven't recovered from the shock of finding out that Thea was the witch. She was the fucking witch that has been after me and Killian for a long time.

Oh, goddess. How couldn't I have known this, or at least suspected it? I knew Thea Chrysler was a devil in disguise but never it occurred to me that she was a witch. A fucking witch.

That means she knew all along. She knew about Lucius, and about me. She knew about my identity. She knew I was a witch. Of course, she did. She found out when I had fought against her.

"Surprised?" Her voice pealed into my mind, gaining my attention.

My eyes leveled on her bright brown gaze that was gleaming brightly in amusement.

"Yes, this is indeed a shock to me. I never expected that you of all people would be the witch," I said, regarding her, as her smile deepened. "I got to hand it to you, Thea, you played us all quite well,"

"Thank you, but frankly it wasn't that hard," she dragged her hands up, and slowly pulled out the leather black gloves that covered her hands. "All I needed was Killian, and it was very easy to have him wrapped around my fingers,"

"You manipulated his dreams and made him believe you were the gifted one," I said, folding my hands against my chest.

"That was the easiest part of it all. That Alpha was just so desperate to find the supposed gifted one that was destined to free him and his stupid pack from Nell's curse. His desperation was his weakness that allowed me in," she tossed the leather gloves on the dried-up dirt on the ground. "And then, everything fell into place,"

"Until I came into the picture," I sounded.

She paused, regarding me, before nodding. "That's right. Everything was just fine until your supposed father came up with the brilliant idea of sending you off with Killian after finding out you were his mate," she grunted. "Honestly, I don't know what he was thinking,"

"He wanted me to hate Killian, and that way, I would be useful to him when the time came for him to destroy Killian and claim his pack," I muttered, moving gently around and Thea also circled around. "But you didn't like it, did you? That's why you tried to frame me up, so I would be executed, and when things didn't work out as you wanted, you murdered Rowan,"

"Oh, that bastard was incompetent. He would have broken and spilled everything even before Killian lifted a finger to him," she sighed.

"And I'm also guessing, you were the one behind the attacks on the pack?" I prodded more.

"Once again, that's also right. But unfortunately, it all backfired back on me. Those fucking witches found out you were the gifted one and I was as quickly discarded. That was a wrong move on my part, but how was I supposed to know Killian's bitch of a mate was the gifted one," she yelled, moving her hands dramatically in the air. This bitch was truly insane.

Thea was here for a reason. And I didn't need a soothsayer to spell it out for me. She clearly knew what she was doing the second she exposed herself to me. This was it. She was here to finish me off. My words earlier today must have shaken her to the core. And unfortunately for her, she played right into my trap, otherwise I would have never known that Thea was Lucius's witch.

"You are one lucky tramp you know," she huffed, angrily. "Believe me, it was always difficult having to come up with ideas to get rid of you, because every idea always ended up slapping me right in my face," she snorted, "At first I had thought it was an awesome idea teaming up with Killian's worst enemies, but then I found out you had some kind of relationship with them. I mean, what the hell, how was I supposed to know that?" She shook her head furiously.

"And then I decided to let Killian end you as it should be. I hexed him, bringing out the demon within him, but another shock was waiting right at the corner. And I had to find out in the worst way that you are a witch as well,"

I listened to her as she kept on rambling, and confessing her bloody crimes. But something didn't add up. And that was Lucius's plan in all of this. Lucius hated Killian and wanted him destroyed, but not me. He had told me to my face. He had good use for me. Lucius would have never authorized any of these, this was all Thea's. I had always known there was this obsession she had over Killian that I just didn't understand.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Lucius wouldn't have approved of any of this madness," I told her.

"And he didn't. He was furious on the night of the blood moon when he found out I had sent word to the Fire Crest Pack to come for you. But what he couldn't see was that your presence in Killian's life was a problem itself to his plan and mine. And I would do whatever it took to accomplish my goal,"

"Which is?" I asked sharply. I was right. There was something else. Something she wasn't yet saying,

Thea stopped moving. Her astute brown eyes gauged mine. "Killian," she spelled out slowly. "He's the reason why I am here," I could tell the honesty in her voice. But that didn't make sense. This whore didn't even love Killian, so why would she be after him?

"You don't love Killian, you are only obsessed with him," I voiced, and she laughed, but I continued. "Why do you want to destroy Killian? What's the reason, Thea? I know there's something because the second you arrived at this pack to this point that has been your goal, and this had nothing to do with Lucius," The smile from her face faded at once, and her eyes turned dark. But she remained silent.

"You have a lover Thea, and you are expecting his child and not Killian's. Someone has been helping you in the pack. Who the hell is your lover?" I asked, and she smiled, but it wasn't deep or from amusement. It was from a deadly rage.

"Thought you knew it all bitch," she sounded.

"It doesn't hurt to hear it all from your lips," I said again.

"This bastard inside of me isn't Killian's. If it wasn't for the situation I would have sucked out every magic from it, and gotten rid of it,"

"But you need it to trap Killian," the words escaped my lips and she nodded.

"Yes, and get rid of you, permanently," she was smiling. "Do you know the best part of it all?" She asked rhetorically, clasping her hands delightfully. "Killian would never find out about me or this thing inside of me, at least not yet though," she chuckled. "Why?" She asked again, obviously loving whatever was going on in her head. "Because he would be too occupied grieving the death of his mate to realize anything, especially what is about to befall the pack,"

"What are you talking about?" I asked, in confusion.

"That doesn't concern you because I am going to finally end you. And that is the hardest part of this all. It may come as a shock to you, but I really don't want you dead. It took me a long time to realize you deserve a far worse fate than having to die in my hands," she moved a little closer to where I was rooted.

"My first option was to hand you over to the Dark Circle, but you are a problem now for me, and if I don't get rid of you know, everything would falter, and I can't have that," she shut her eyes, "I promise when all of this is over, I will tell Killian you sent some kisses," her brown eyes parted open and it was covered by darkness.

I took a cautious step backward and her smile deepened. I connected to Killian through the mind link. " You won't believe this, Killian, Thea is the fucking witch!" I was informed through the mind link. "How did you" before he could complete his words, I spoke quickly, having my eyes on Thea. "Fuck, the bitch is trying to kill me," I voiced sharply, disconnecting abruptly when Thea muttered short chants using her magic and lifted sharp broken woods around the woods. They all gathered in the air, pointing at me. And with a dark smile, they lunged at me speedily.

Immediately, my eyes shined brightly, and I lifted my hands in the air, blocking the disaster headed my way, and redirecting it back to her.

She evaded it quickly, still smiling. "Now this would be fun," she breathed out. "bitch!"
