Aurora's Alpha

CHAPTER 24

Rory POV

"How are you feeling?" I avoid his awkward question

Killian scoffs before immediately replying "Don't start that bullshit with me Aurora, like you actually care"

"I- I Don't not care" I defend "heart attacks are serious, are you alright?" There's an itching sensation in my brain that won't stop until I hear him verbally say he is okay.

"Yeah they can be, you might even say they are worse to experience as a werewolf" killians eyes stare at me cold, hurt.

"George said you would be fine in a couple hours" I chirp trying to alleviate the tension in the room.

"Yes physically ill be fine" Killian glares and guilt begins to pool in my stomach.

"Let's stop being passive aggressive and just tell me what you want me to say" I lean against his dresser unsure of what my words might lead to in the upcoming conversation. "Would you like an apology because I'll give you one. I'm so so sorry, I was aware my actions would have consequences but holy shit I didn't think it would cause you bed rest"

"I want you to tell me who" Killian seethes

"Who?" It takes me a moment to realise who I slept with last night "oh" is all I manage

"Who Aurora? What's their name?" Killian tries to sit up but instead it causes him pain so he winced and remains in his slightly elevated position. When his eyes open they're pitch black making me gulp in fear

"I-it doesn't matter you don't know him" I try push aside the topic

"So you know him? It wasn't just the first stranger you seen?" Killian growls

"Look it doesn't matter because it's never happening again" I cringe thinking about the fact Aaron has seen me naked

"Tell me Rory!" Killian's tone is dark as he yells at me, my instincts telling me to run out the room.

"Aaron, my roommate" I blurt out

Killian goes rigid and for a moment it feels like peace but I know that is too good to be true. His eyes mixing between blue and black and it's mesmerising to watch until they finalise on black, a second later Killian's back arches as he yells out a grunt of pain.

Panic course through me not knowing what to do or how to help as he grunts in pain. His fingers digging deep into the mattress and one of his legs beginning to bend in a way that might make me puke.

"George! Milo! Help!" I yell hoping they are still only a few doors away.

I almost sigh in relief as they come bursting through the door taking in the scene before them. George runs to Killian's side checking his eyes before saying "his beast is trying to shift but he's still not well enough for the change"

Milo walks over to me and puts a comforting hand on my shoulder and tries to quietly mumble "you would help him a lot if you at least sat on the bed"

Looking over I notice George jump back as Killian tries to swipe at him, looking back at Milo he does an awkward chuckle

"Won't he just do that" I point to the violent scene we both just witnessed
