KIARA
I awoke to a shriek. "Uncle! Uncle, you can’t come in! Kiara isn't dressed!"
Raven?
I jolted up, groaning at the pounding in my head.
"Goddess… Why are you screaming?" I groaned.
"Fine, but I want to speak to her the moment she's dressed." Dad growled at Raven before the door slammed shut. Raven locked it and glared at me.
"Kiara!" She hissed.
"What?" I moaned.
"I thought you two were, you know… done." She whispered. "He’s getting married babe."
I frowned, now looking down at myself then at the room before me. Last night rushed back and I felt my cheeks burn. Oh fuck, I had practically forced Rayhan into sex. Kill me now.
I dropped back onto the pillow and pulled my bedsheet to my chest. Raven slapped my arm hard.
"Kia! I'm serious!" She snapped.
"It wasn’t him." I said softly.
I wish it had been… But I had made my decision, I needed to move on from him and focus on my mate.
Thank-you for reading!
Kiara Rayhan didn’t look phased, as we both turned to see Dad standing on the top step. His cold glare was fixed on Rayhan. I really was getting annoyed with him, especially since he himself was such a player back in the day. I gave him a warning glare. "Hey, Uncle El." Rayhan said, a hint of a smile teasing his lips. Dad simply gave him a calculating glare before looking at me. 'Dad, chill out, seriously.’ I said through the link. ‘I wasn’t going to say anything.’ He growled back. ‘But he better get the fuck out of my way or I’ll be disfiguring that pretty boy face of his.’ ‘Ouch, don’t you think of him as a nephew?’ I replied, finding it a little amusing. ‘Not right now.’ He replied, walking down the steps. Rayhan flashed him a dazzling smirk before he waved and winked at me, walking off. "Seriously, Dad you’re suffocating." I said, as we both fell in step. "You were upset that night." He said,
ALEJANDRO "Alejandro! Alejandro!" I opened my eyes to find Darien leaning over me. Where was I? I looked around, aware of the pain in my body and how tired I fucking felt. Then it all came back. Kiara. The pain was still there but with the exhaustion, I felt it was duller. I looked away, shoving Darien far from me. "Get the fuck out of my way." I said hoarsely. It seems like my throat hasn't healed yet. "Al… What are you doing man? Substance abuse? We need you at your strongest… What if an attack happened when you were out? We’d be fucked thanks to your reckless behaviour!" Darien growled. I knew he was fucking scared that I almost killed myself, but I wouldn’t die that fast… I wasn’t that stupid… I also knew I didn’t think of anything but how I was feeling… Kiara. How did she fuck up my head so easily? I sat up and turned away from Darien. I didn’t want him here. "Leave." I said quietly. "No. Wha
KIARA Two hours later, Raven and Raihana stepped back to admire their work. "Ok…. I think she looks like a damn bombshell." Raven said with satisfaction. "That lip colour is definitely hers; it just adds to it, doesn't it?" Raihana added. "Yes, girl! This babe’s going to have every unmated wolf drooling…" "Not to mention most women wear long gowns to the ball…" Raihana said smirking. "Damn, I wish we had like a camera to see what's happening out there." Raven said. I raised an eyebrow. "I am here, listening to you two as if I'm not. Can I see?" I asked, feeling a bit nervous about what they’d done to me. "Sure!" Raihana said. She turned me slowly towards the mirror and I stared at myself in shock. I looked… stunning! Regal even... Raven had styled my hair into a very high, stylish up-do, leaving a few long, loosely curled strands to frame my face. As for my face, Raihana had done a
ALEJANDRO I stood on the balcony at the front centre of the mansion two floors up, as I looked at the illuminated gardens, satisfied. "Kind of dazzling tonight, isn't it? It doesn't really make sense when we’re wolves." Jasmin said from next to me. I didn’t reply, I knew what she was insinuating and she wasn’t wrong. I had asked for it to be light enough for Kiara. "A change is good." I said coldly. She nodded, smart enough to keep her fucking mouth shut. I turned away, trying to calm the emotions that swirled within me. I wanted to see her… but at the same time, I was scared. What would I do when my eyes fell upon her? I know I was sure she was my mate… But I still wanted confirmation… Even if I would never pursue her. "You're restless." Jasmin murmured. "I’m not." I said coldly. "You are welcome to join the fucking ball." "I’d rather spend it with you." She said, stepping closer to me. I turned
KIARA I walked through the halls, my heart pounding with each step. I gasped as a deep, intoxicating scent hit my nose; I'd never smelled anything so addictive, so seductive that it made me dizzy. My heart thumped as I inhaled it. It smelt so much like Alejandro’s… Just a billion times more tempting if that were even possible. I stopped outside a door and opened it. My mate was here and deep down I felt I knew exactly who it was… I looked into the room, but the sight that reached my eyes was one that would always remain. The painful sight of my mate making out with another woman. For a moment, it felt as if time had stopped, his gaze snapped towards me and my heart suddenly exploded with a surge of emotions. Alejandro was my mate. My king. My other half. Despite the pain I felt, I looked into his eyes, giving him the chance to come to me. We would work on this; we could make it ok. Please. My heart was crumbling and I co
RAVEN My heart was racing as Raihana squeezed my hand, both of us were staring at the television. The eerie music only adding to our tense state. The front door opened and Raihana screamed, making me flinch before the light was flipped on as someone entered the living room. My heart skipped a beat when I saw my favourite boys, both of their blue eyes were on me. I almost shrieked as I jumped over the sofa, unable to decide which one to hug first. I pulled them both into a hug. Well, I was practically hanging from their necks, thanks to my tiny size. They both wrapped their arms around me and Damon chuckled. "Someone missed us." "More enthusiastically than Kia." Liam said, kissing the top of my head. I smiled as I let go of them. "Ok boys, you can put me down." I said, still suspended in the air thanks to their hold on me. I was about to say more but my smile vanished when I saw Uncle El carrying Kiara. "What happ
KIARA A knock on the door made me stir and I sat up, last night rushing back to me as I felt the sharp tugging pain clench around my heart. Raven wasn’t here, I frowned and looked around before I saw the note on the bedside table. ‘Gone shopping with the boys, I will find the perfect dress for you! See you soon, XOXO’ I put the paper down and shuffled up against the headboard to take a deep breath. "Come in!" I called. The door opened and Dad entered holding a plate of food and a bottle of fruity water. "Did you sleep well?" He asked, closing the door behind himself. I nodded, my heart thudding, not knowing what was coming. He placed the plate in my lap and kissed my forehead before he went and pulled the curtains open, letting the bright sunshine through the window. I flinched at the brightness, before becoming accustomed to it. Dad walked over to the bed and sat on the edge, facing me. "Eat." He ordered. I loo
ALEJANDRO I lit another cigarette as I stood there trying to regain control of my emotions. In this dark, fucking cellar, looking at the Wendigo that I had caught with Elijah and Rayhan. Ever since last night when I had pulled her into my arms… The way it felt… I had never experienced anything like it. The way she made me feel… had been enhanced a thousand times. It had hurt, knowing I had put her in that state, but I had to remind myself of the reason behind it. I didn’t want to hand her to her father, but I had to, before those fuckers got near her… "Anything Callum?" I asked, returning to the present. "It’s magic. I just… I don’t know. There’s nothing I can make of it; I just know that there’s magic involved in creating this. It is faint, so not much was used… which means either they are able to breed these things without magic now or the magic isn't really necessary for it anymore." He said gravely. "So even capturing a fuck
