Chapter 27
“Killian?” Willow called him. She felt something gripped her heart tightly. It was fear and longing.
She was longed for him, she was longed for his presence and the way he used to touch her, the way he used to look at her with love, but right now, he was crazy for someone else and that was all her fault.
Willow accepted that and she was determined to win him back. He was the best thing that ever happened to her and she threw it away. She w***d. She didn’t want to be st**d again for the second time.
“Killian Willow called him again, but he didn’t want to turn around and let her see his face. He was smoking again, not only that, he drank so much, she could smell the alcohol in the air.
This room was awful, but Killian didn’t care about that, because what he cared the most was her sister.
“Stop right there.” Killian’s voice was h**e, deep and dark, just like this room. “Tell me everything.”
He still refused to see her, but at the very least, he gave her a chance to talk to him, just because she said she had information about Althea.
And…
His firstborn was a girl. Jasmine… he loved the name. it sounded pure and angelic, just like the flower. He knew that Althea would give their firstborn a beautiful name… he loved it…
Despite how the baby was being conceived, Killian loved her. His firstborn. only if he was not **d. He could have her, the two of them…
“Killian.”
“Start talking about what information do you have.”
Willow wanted to demand for him to at least turn around and face her when she was talking, but from the look of it, he wouldn’t do that at all and it was not the right time to push his button. He could be very scary.
“She gave birth a baby girl a month ago and named her Jasmine. She is living in the inner court of the palace, that was a place that was close to the king’s quarter. Therefore, the protection there is very tight. She worked in the greenhouse of the palace.”
Killian listened to her carefully, probably this was the first time for him to listen very attentively in the last month because all the news that he received had been very suck and his man only gave him more and more disappointment every time they gave him a report.
“They didn’t know what they relationship between the king and Althea, but from the look of it, she must be his mistress, because the king paid close attention to her and shower her and the baby with gifts,”
“Mistress…” Killian scoffed. Althea chose to be the king’s mistress instead of to be with him again,
He could understand that, because of what he had done to her was completely f**ed up. However, the thing that he couldn’t grasp was; why she didn’t let him to give her an explanation? She didn’t give him a chance to atone for his sin. She was ready to raise the child on her own. His child. Their child…
“And from the look of it, the higher rank people in the palace disagreed with the relationship between them, because.. the reasons are obvious,” Willow said carefully. She wanted to approach him and stand beside him, but she was afraid that he would kick her out of the room, thus she stayed there. “They didn’t know about her past… they didn’t know about you.”
Killian nodded.
Wed, Aug.
ני
They didn’t know about him, but it didn’t mean the king was the same, after all he had all the resources that he needed to track him down.
“How do you know about all of this?” Killian asked, he finally turned around and graced Willow with his acknowledgement. “How do you know about all of this when my warriors couldn’t find anything?”
He knew that Willow was smart and she proved it now. You could see now that she was indeed very smart, since she could make herself ‘dead’ and put the blame on someone else.
“I befriended with the people from the palace, the s**s, the omegas, anyone that came from the palace.” Willow tugged on her hair anxiously. “Women women loved to gossip” she said in small voice, as if she was afraid that he would judge her.
He
But, her heart was clenched tightly when she watched how gaunt Killian was. He looked like he was not even alive….. looked h**us… She wanted to approach him and hug him tightly, telling him that he would get his child back. She knew how important the firstborn for him.
“Good.” Killian nodded and this made Willow’s heart swelled with happiness. “Did you tell this information to your father?”
Willow shook her head. “No. I only tell you about this.”
“Why?”
“Because I only wanted you to know about this. I want to atone to my mistake and help you, I know that you wanted your first child, I will help you with that. I will help you with everything that I could.”
Killian was not impressed at all, but he let her to think whatever as long as he could get more information out of her.
“How will you be able to help me get my daughter back?” Killian figured, if he could get their baby, Althea wouldn’t have other choice, but to come with him too.
There was no way she would abandon her baby. He knew her. Her heart wouldn’t allow her to do so, even if it meant she had to leave the king.
“I think she will go out during the festival… there will be a festival in a week, from what I heard, she would go o
with some of friends that she made there,” Willow said with certainty.
