Killian left the room and went to his study, not because he actually had something to do but because he needed to pause, breathe, and think. Sooner or later, he was going to mate Elena with his brothers, but this wasn't even the real issue. What bugged him most was the secret he still kept, one that hung heavily on his shoulder, one that seemed to steal air from his lungs every time. The secret—the truth about Elena's parents' death.
He didn't mean for things to happen like this. He thought he would have told Elena everything before he had to mate her but now, it seemed like it was happening so fast, too fast.
And as for the eclipse moon which was fast approaching, Killian had not even thought about anything. He only knew that if push came to shove, he was willing to sacrifice himself for her. Zorian was on it too. Even though he truly missed being outside, running through the forest, he was willing to sacrifice that for Elena.
