KIARA
Night had fallen and we had just finished a game of monopoly, with Raihana winning.
"Ok, end the game, I'm done." Rayhan said, sitting back with not a single monopoly note to his name.
"You are awful at this." Raven remarked.
"It’s a game of luck, what do you mean awful? I was never landing on an unbought property and then I kept landing on all your guys' houses." He complained, running his fingers through his hair.
I faked a yawn, stretching.
"Alright guys, I'm off to bed, I'm tired." I said while massaging my neck.
"Already?" Raven asked. "It’s only 9.30."
"Healing takes a toll." I lied. I honestly felt fine, after I was kicked out so rudely!
"Oh yes… That’s kind of cool though, that you've got that ability." Raihana said.
"Yeah, something we need to keep on the low." Rayhan added. Raihana nodded.
"Alright, well I'm going to go FaceTime Mom and Dad."
"Don’t tell them what's been h
Thank you for reading please do leave me a gem! It would mean a lot :D
ALEJANDRO I had just got back from my little escapade. Sometimes I enjoyed dealing with things alone, and as I had predicted, rogues were gathering in clusters. The only problem was they didn’t know who ‘The King’ was, or they just couldn't tell me. The moment they even tried to say something, they ended up dying. I had my men follow some leads. I had left a few survivors, hoping for one of them to meet with someone or other. There were still no solid leads. I had just returned to my pack grounds when I heard the distant scream of pain. Kiara. My stomach twisted as panic filled me, another emotion that I never experienced. The need to go to her overtook me and I rushed ahead, worry and fear fuelling me. "Did you hear that scream?" I heard one of the warriors on patrol say to her partner. "I did, maybe someone training? Oh, Alpha-" I didn’t stop as I rushed past them in a blur, trying to sniff her out. What had ha
KIARA I hadn't been able to heal myself, although I had tried. I knew I was doing the right thing, I was doing it exactly the same way I had when healing Valentin but it seems maybe it’s just not meant to work on me, or that I need to practise a little more. I had got up and began walking back to the mansion slowly. Goddess, did it hurt. Alejandro gave me hot and cold signals, I wanted to hate him but then a part of me wanted to believe he cared. Even a little. But now as Alejandro just shot that painful remark at me, I wasn’t sure if I should get pissed off or just laugh. He’s the one who couldn't keep his damn hands off me. Yes, he looked absolutely delicious in only those oversized basketball shorts that hung so low on his hips. It was a mission not to lick my lips but I dared not run my eyes over his torso, nor admire his tattoos and the necklaces he always seemed to wear. His earring that hung in his right ear glinted when he moved
KIARA I placed a hand to my heart, taking a deep breath. "Seriously, have you not heard of knocking?!" I growled, getting to my feet and praying the thin, clingy fabric of my shirt didn’t reveal too much. Fat chance, his eyes were already roaming over me. I yanked on the hem, hoping to cover my underwear, only to notice his eyes flashing red as they focused on my breasts which were now pressing against the slightly sheer white fabric. Didn’t he say he was done and dusted with me? My stomach fluttered and I slowly made my way back to my bed and sat down, crossing my arms expertly over my chest. "Care to share why the almighty Alpha king graced my humble abode with his presence?" I asked mockingly, glad he was at least wearing clothes now. "To tell you, that whatever you heard is not to be mentioned to anyone." He said seriously. I frowned, curiosity igniting within me. Should I say I don’t know what he’s on about?
ALEJANDRO The moment Jasmin launched herself at me I caught her by her waist, but my gaze flittered to the beautiful honey-haired princess who stood watching us. The flicker of hurt I saw in those blue rimmed green eyes of hers tugged at my fucking heart. I hated hurting her but I kept doing it. It fucking killed me even more when she gave a gentle smile and walked off inside. I didn’t bother kissing Jasmin back, her lavender and cinnamon scent didn’t appeal to me and neither did her lips. After kissing Kiara, this felt like a cheap knock off. I wondered what sex would feel like with someone else after I’ve now had a taste of her. Another piece of evidence that the chance of her being my fucking mate was strong. This was all a fucked-up mess. I mean, I didn’t even stop anywhere on my way back for fun like I usually would have. I would never admit it, but I had just wanted to see her… I couldn't even forget how gorgeous she looked last n
KIARA I had heard a few warriors panicking that the Alpha had snapped in the training grounds and I was curious what had happened. I hurried over to see what they meant. After all, Raven’s description of his anger and seeing Rayhan’s state worried me. As I got closer, a feeling of foreboding filled me and my wolf was screaming at me to run. ‘Calm down girl’ I said in my head as I broke into a run, trying my best not to let the pain in my ankle get to me. I reached the training grounds, I saw the blood that covered Alejandro’s hands. It wasn’t his. It took me a split second to realise the situation - Alejandro was ready to kill Carmen... Because of me. "…Don’t forget to say hi to Selene for me." Alejandro’s words and the darkness that loomed around him sent me into a state of panic. He couldn't do this. "Stop!" I shouted, rushing over towards them. I stumbled slightly before I lunged myself at the dangerous Alpha, knocking him a
ALEJANDRO I had messaged Elijah last night about her ability and he had replied not long ago. It seems like the fucker had a late night. The dickhead had called me demanding answers not long after I got that shocking slap. It made sense to keep it on the low, I actually agreed with him. I won’t admit it, but I didn’t want her hurt. At the same fucking time, I knew she was the type of person who would hate to ever be tied down… Even when she had slapped me, I had been beyond fucking shocked. If I had doubts, then they were even slimmer now. I was sure she was my mate. No one would dare to fucking slap me and walk off like that, and I didn’t get as pissed off as I would have expected. The fact that she stood up to me showed me she wasn’t scared of me, or not that much anyway. I wasn’t sure if I should be happy about this or fucking pissed. Now, as she fucking cast that fake smile at her parents before she left, hurt. I hated how every fuc
KIARA "Please don’t." I pleaded. This hurt. He didn’t realise what he was doing to me. Did he just think I was ok with casual sex? Yes, I did engage with Damon like that, but that was so different from what I felt for Alejandro. The attraction towards him often felt like it would consume me completely. The way his hands gripped my hips, the way his scent made me dizzy in a pleasant way and the ache in my core, begging to be satisfied by him. He paused, to my surprise, searching my eyes. I was near tears and I hated feeling like this. "Don’t make me fall for you, when I am nothing to you." I whispered. I didn’t know why I said it. For him to just mock me? This was what he wanted, right? I didn’t really know; I wasn’t blind to the fact that he was different towards me but it wasn’t enough to give in when he was engaged to Jasmin. I don’t even know what I wanted from him. He let go of me and I could hear his heart racing. T
KIARA Those words felt bitter to digest, but I didn’t respond as I put some food on my plate. "Jasmin and Alpha Al have had an on-off relationship, if you could call it that. Anyway, he tolerates her. She knows how to run a pack and she’s smart, plus she's actually pretty strong. Alpha Al is pretty closed up and won't really let anyone close to him. Jasmin’s able to tolerate him and although he can be hateful, she’s strong enough to stand by his side." Aunty Indy continued. "Why not choose a she-wolf from his own pack?" Raven asked curiously. Aunty Indy smirked. "Although the King’s got a reputation - as an uncaring, dangerous bad boy - he has rules. He doesn't sleep with any woman from his own pack. Not even omegas." That surprised me. I looked up at her, shocked. "What, why?" I asked. "He doesn't think it's professional and I think it makes sense, as this way there won’t be any catfights between the fem
THREE DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS… ALEJANDRO I looked at the little boy who I was meant to be looking after for the entire fucking day. With Kiara pregnant again, I knew she needed some time away, so she, Serena, Kevin and some other she-wolf had gone out for the afternoon and evening. At first, I thought this shit was going to be easy… But now, three hours in, I was regretting offering. How the fuck was I supposed to focus on paperwork when this fucker just demanded attention twenty-four fucking seven? The snow had gone, but the weather was still foggy and cold. I glanced up at the sky through the open French doors of my office, the dark cloudy sky only promising more gloomy weather. Dante was outside playing tag with Darien. "Al!" Darien called. "What?" "Dante’s got a request." "I want Mgonalds!" Dante chipped in. "Please, Daddy." How the fuck do you say no when he says please? "Didn’t you just have food? Dar

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
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
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 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 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 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 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
