Chapter nine: payback Kale's standpoint Silence; that was all I was met with when I reached out to comfort Killian. Killian had howl and whimper in pain all-night, stayed low on the ground at mother's oasis as he mourned his mate. By the time I shifted back, he went silent, not making a single sound or showing he was there. It was like he was dead but still alive. I had never felt this guilty in my entire life, Killian had never felt so much pain and rejection. He had always been the strong one both physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally. When my parents died, he made me strong and gave me a purpose. he gave me a course. He had never argued with my decisions before, like what I wanted to do, but yet I deprived him of the one person he yearned for more than anything and anyone.
