Honest

[Rose Castle]

Burning amber eyes opened and distress could be clearly seen inside them. Killian hurriedly got up from the bed and the first thing he did as soon as waking up was look at his right hand's wrist. The mark of a Blue-colored water droplet looked glaring on his tanned skin. It was just momentary but he was sure that his mating mark stung on his skin. He could as well as be wrong because the sting died down faster than it came. 

A wry sigh left his mouth as he closed his eyes. He swore he would kill everyone if something happened to his mate. For now, he could not check it by himself because well....his eyes fell on the space beside him. The feeble but steady breathing of two lion cubs and little snakes reached his ears. Killian could not leave them alone and go out to bring back his mate. But on the other hand, he could not stay still when something probably went wrong with his mate. Every minute without seeing her face felt like hell for him.
