Chapter 69

• Killian's point of view
• I had left my office, already making my way to Sheila's chamber when I was mind-linked by Jax and Allen in a hurry. Their voices were in a frenzy. The only thing I registered was that Thea was in danger. Fuck. I couldn't think straight. I swerved from Sheila's chamber and moved hastily to Thea's chamber which was at another end of the castle.
• It was from a near distance away I could smell and see the smoke that escaped from the hallways. My heart jammed with an unfamiliar wave of fearful emotions as my legs hastened closer, Morgan and Mason were already there, trying to put the fire out. I rushed into her wide chamber, everything had almost been consumed by the fire, my heart rose in panic within my chest, as my eyes scanned around for Thea. I found her, she was lying motionlessly in the middle of the room. My legs hurried to her as the fire around was still blazing harder even with the warriors' attempt to put it off.
