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
Thank you for reading! I do hope you enjoyed these chapters, please do review and leave a gem. Thank you
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
KIARA It was madness in here. I didn’t have time to stop and talk to anyone, healing everyone little by little. These wounds were laced with magic, but somehow I seemed to be able to heal them a lot faster and without fainting. I felt different ever since I had awoken. There was this energy rippling through me, I could feel it coursing through my veins. It wasn’t just me trying to focus on using my ability, I could actually feel it coming forth, sensing my limits and knowing exactly how much I was using. It didn’t even feel strange and new, using my ability felt so natural as if I had carried the knowledge to my powers since the day I was born. Waking up and seeing Raven like that terrified me. Knowing she had put herself in harm’s way to protect me rather than running made me so emotional. I wanted to squeeze the lights out of her and tell her I was proud of her whilst at the same time scold her for doing so. She didn’t even have her wolf with her no matter how stro
KIARA Remembering the last time we were alone in a room, it suddenly became more uncomfortable. "Dad’s coming? Why?" I asked trying to ignore the tension that hung between us, daring not to look at him. "That’s one of the reasons I wanted to talk to you... You saw that Harry was in the hospital… but it’s about Greg." He crossed his arms, the serious look on his face was a stark reminder that he was an adult with responsibilities. I don’t think I had seen him this serious. "What about Greg?" I said, my heart hammering. I hadn't seen him anywhere… My heart sank before he even spoke. "He was killed. I guess your Dad felt the pack link break." He said, sending a stab of pain through my chest. It was my fault. Those things came for me. I clutched my neck, feeling sick. It was my fault. Greg… "It’s not." "What?" I asked sharply, looking up at him. His dark eyes glittered with emotions I couldn't make out.
