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?
Thank you for reading, just the 1 chapter today as I have a poorly child to take care of. :) hope you enjoy it, please do leave me a gem and a review.
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
ALEJANDRO I had locked myself in my office all day, drinking bottle after bottle. I don’t even know how many fucking cigarettes I have consumed. Her innocent pleas to stop hurting her fucking destroyed me. I should never have used her… I was strong enough to protect her… right? But that would only make sense if there was someone to protect her from me… I was a monster, she was someone with so much concern and love that it sure made up for my lack of it. I often snapped, and if I ever hurt her… She couldn't even heal herself. Hell even if she could, I didn’t want to hurt her. Yeah, I was already fucking doing that without trying… I stared at the ceiling; my feet crossed on my desk as I leaned back in my seat, feeling like a fucking train-wreck inside. I knew what I needed to do. Keep myself so fucking busy that I didn’t have time to think about her. It was now dark outside. I had just sat here in the dark, not even bothering to m
ALEJANDRO ‘A Wendigo is nearby. I want everyone to be ready. Secure the premises, I want three squads of warriors around the apartment blocks. Make sure no kid or woman who can’t fight is out.’ I commanded through the pack link. This wasn’t good. I needed Kiara safe. I lifted her bridal style, breaking into a run and heading towards my mansion. ‘Julio, Bryan, get the Blood Moon wolves to my mansion. I want all four of you to keep an eye on Kiara, Raihana and Raven.’ I broke the link with them. Just as I got there, I jumped up onto the ledge and slid my window open. I pulled back the bedsheets and placed her on my bed quickly, pulling the blanket up to her shoulders. About to turn away, I paused. She was the first woman to ever sleep on this bed. If only I could keep her… I kissed her forehead softly, brushing my fingers along her jaw before I stepped back. Going to the window I jumped out, just as Rayhan left the house, pulling his shirt off.
RAVEN "Rai! Stay with Kiara now!" I snapped, diving for the weapon that Greg’s lifeless body still held loosely in his hand, just as the disgusting beast lurched itself through the window. There may only be a year’s difference between Raihana and me, but she had definitely been raised a princess. Unlike Kiara and I, who knew how to fight even when we didn’t have wolves, it was clear the same wasn’t the case for her. The manangal rushed for the bed and I sprinted over from behind, raising the weapon and stabbing it into its side. It didn’t seem to do much damage to it, but it had surely caught its attention. That was the damn point. "Come on, you piece of sewer crap, let’s play!" I said, spinning the sword. It sprang at me and I ducked, ramming the weapon through its stomach. Its blood splattered over me, letting out a painful hiss of agony and anger. It attacked me, knocking me across the room, making me let go of the weapon that was now lodged in its
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
