OVER FOUR MONTHS LATER…
KIARA
"Luna! Come on, we need to go for a walk!" Kevin said, without even knocking on my office door.
I looked at him, my lips refusing to turn up into a smile to return his big one.
"I need to complete some paperwork, Kevin." I replied, as I stood up and shuffled some papers.
My stomach was huge, and I was due soon. I placed a hand on my stomach as I bent over to gather some files together. We were having a baby boy and doctor Callum was stunned at his growth already. My baby and the fact that my love was still teetering on the brink of death four months onwards was all that kept me going.
"Nope, doctors’ orders, a walk and fresh air every day. Come on, let's talk about the latest Fenty Beauty release!" He stated, coming over and taking my hand.
I looked at him. He and Carmen were always around me. Serena, Darien and Tia would often accompany me too.
I had returned to this pack four days after t
Thank you for reading, please keep your comments positive, I know everyone wants to know what's happening with Alejandro but I will not rush the story. We are going to get there. ^.^ thank you!
KIARA This was not supposed to happen. I held Raven tightly as she trembled, struggling to hold her tears back. "Damon…" I said softly. He looked at me. I had never seen him look more torn. Confusion, want and guilt all surrounded him. I knew he wanted to comfort Raven, yet at the same time, he felt guilty towards Liam. I had never seen them ever argue like this. They were like brothers in every way. Seeing Liam this angry towards Damon completely shook me up. "I don’t know what to do…" He whispered. He moved forward, reaching for Raven. "Liam…" She whispered, her head buried in my shoulder. I saw the hurt flash in Damon’s eyes as he backed away. She didn’t mean it like that... But before I could even speak, Damon had run off. I closed my eyes, feeling confused. "Luna Kiara." I turned to see one of Dad’s warriors approaching me. "What is it?" I asked. "Alpha Scarlett is in labour." My eye
KIARA The following day, things didn’t turn out as expected. Liam told Dad he wanted to leave for his Alpha training immediately. I knew Mom and Dad knew something had happened, but they didn’t know what. Raven came to see baby Azura but like always she was all smiles and energy. She was in pain, I could sense her emotions that she was trying so hard to hide but she still acted so cheery, waving a very cute yet ugly octopus teddy she had brought for Azura. I too couldn’t stay any longer either, although I wanted to be here for Raven, I felt unsettled and the urge to go to Alejandro was at breaking point. So the plan was made, Liam will drop me off and then head on to meet up with Rayhan who was leaving for his training soon too. Liam would stay at The Black Storm Pack for a week or so before both continued to their first location for their training together. I was dressed in Alejandro’s shirt and leggings, my hair up in a ponytail and a pair of sneake
ALEJANDRO Nothing. I couldn’t feel anything or hear anything. Not even my heartbeat. Nor could I sense if it was hot or cold. There was darkness around me, yet at the same time, I couldn’t see it. It was just… emptiness. The pain that had consumed me was gone. I had been stuck in this state for so long that I had no idea how much time had passed. Was I dead? I had felt the agonising pain and then my life slipping from my grasp. The last thing I remembered was Kiara’s scream of anguish. I had failed her. I left her when she needed me the most. I once thought I’d destroy the world for her, but then I realised I needed to create somewhere safe for her. For our pup. At times, when I felt the darkness consume me, something would tug me back, leaving me suspended in this emptiness. But now… I was getting pulled into the depths of the darkness that I was always teetering at the edge of. A sudden dazzling light made me close my eyes, raising m
KIARA No matter how many people congratulated me solemnly on the birth of our son, it was still a heart-breaking time for everyone. My only contentment was that my baby had been born healthy. Serena had told Mom and Dad that I had the baby and Mom was determined to come, although she only had Azura the day before. I had told her not to, but she refused. We still had not told them about Alejandro. Just the thought caused another wave of pain to envelope me. I wanted to die, to break down, to let everything out, but I couldn’t because I had my little angel, the only physical remnant of Alejandro and my love. I never understood what it meant when they said a mother's love is unconditional, but now I understand it means that no matter how much pain we were in, we'd keep going for our children. For our son, I would keep going. I looked down at him as I fed him. He was a hungry little thing. His suckling was strong, his little hand holding on to my breast as he dra
ALEJANDRO I looked up as the door was flung open. "…is inside." Darien was saying. Scarlett gasped as she stared at us, whilst Darien flipped the light on. Did they really not know how the fuck to knock? Elijah looked pale as fuck looking between us both. "You are awake!" Scarlett exclaimed, rushing over as she glanced at me before turning back to Kiara. "You had the baby! Oh, hun…" Was she always so fucking loud? She looked chubbier than before, I frowned as I looked at Kiara as she was squeezed by her mother. Why hadn’t Kiara gained weight? My stomach sank as I looked past how beautiful she was. She looked tired. Her face was gaunter… and she sure as fuck had lost more weight… Fuck. Because of me... "Ow ow ow…" Kiara mumbled. I frowned seeing her mother squashing her and tugged her out of Scarlett’s arms forcefully, wrapping my arms around her possessively. "The doctor just told us you had a C-section! How are
KIARA "Oh, he is adorable." Maria said as she carried Dante, planting a kiss on his forehead. I smiled. "Thank you." Although they had all seen him before and we had been here for the last five hours, everyone was still gushing over him. The men had gone out for a few hours and had returned in time for dinner. We were all in the luxurious lounge of the Rossi mansion. Only when I came here did I realise how wealthy the Rossi’s were; even Alejandro's luxury mansion did not exude the same level of elegance. Leo was sitting on one of the large sofas enjoying himself playing on Rayhan’s Xbox, and Raihana had told him he could take it back home too, stating that Rayhan no longer needed it. Speaking of Rayhan, he had video-called earlier and I had managed to say hi to Liam too. Alejandro hadn’t really talked to Rayhan. Even when Rayhan had found out he was awake, he had kind of ignored him, but today they’d had a conversation and I wa
ALEJANDRO Kiara had left, and although my mind was on her, I tried to focus on the game. I was winning… I think so anyway. "And I win." Marcel said, showing his hand. Raf groaned tossing his cards down, and I smirked, showing my hand. "You mean I win." I said, arrogantly. "Fine. You’re damn good." Marcel replied grudgingly. "You both are, you should really have some sympathy on your elder brother." Raf complained, picking up his glass. I have no fucking idea why he was so weird. "You’re a fucking weirdo." I remarked. "You still love me." He grinned. "Shouldn’t you be minding Dante?" I asked, ignoring his comment and lighting a cigarette. Avoiding smoking around Dante was probably the next hardest thing to do, after not getting enough time with Kiara. Although I was sure the fucker could heal, I mean, Kiara could heal him every other month... The smoke wouldn’t affect him... But damn, I was taking
TWO YEARS AND EIGHT MONTHS LATER… KIARA "Can someone put the tinsel on the stair rail?!" Raihana shouted. I looked over at her, the eighteen-year-old was not impressed with getting the décor done. Maria had decided we would go away for Christmas, and since it was the holidays, Rafael had decided against bringing any of the Omegas to work. It was a time to spend with family, he had put it, and I agreed. So here we were, doing it all ourselves. Not that I minded, I loved all of it. As werewolves, our main goddess was Selene, but outside of that, we still liked to participate in certain celebrations of other gods and religions. Christmas was not one to miss. After all, who wouldn’t mind some festive feelings. "I will, Raihana, relax." I told the younger woman as I reached up to the ceiling from my ladder to finish setting the fairy lights. She had come of age and the next mating ball, there was a chance she may find her mate. Or a
