(ROSE CASTLE)
Killian kept his gaze on his mate as she exited the gates of the rose castle. He felt remorseful for not being able to go with her. He was an outsider living in the beast city with no tribe to call his own, so he couldn't attend the banquet inside the city. It was his fault for annihilating his tribe but he never regretted doing that to them. His tribesmen deserved it after what they did to his parents and sister. The taste of betrayal that they fed him still made him feel bitter as well as sad. The hurt that he felt when he saw his family's lifeless bodies still haunted him but as the saying says 'Time heals everything'
Well, it did not completely heal him but it indeed lessened the pain. Now whenever he thought about that incident, it only brought nostalgia and a little bit of sadness.
