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
Thank you for reading, I managed to do a double update for today and will do one for tomorrow.
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
KIARA I took a deep breath as I entered the same venue as last night. This time I felt a thousand times different. There was no excitement, but a deep pain in my chest. My mate was going to mark someone else tonight. That had been another slap in the face, but on the way here, Mom had mentioned how the council seemed to want the marking done today too. Dad and I both hadn't told her about my mate. First of all, I didn’t get the chance as she and Dad had practically jumped each other the moment Mom walked on to pack grounds, and then Raihana had helped me get ready. Sadly, Raven had gone back home per her dad's orders. Although she had wanted to stay, her dad had heard of the attack and was going crazy, so she had to listen. Her dad reminded her that she was still seventeen and under his command. I couldn't blame him, and I kind of agreed, being around me she’d just be in more danger. I could see many had their eyes on me, and as much as I’d love
ALEJANDRO I looked between Jasmin and Kiara, my eyes staying on the nymph before me. Fuck, did she look breath-taking. Seeing her here had fucking knocked me off, I did not think she was strong enough to face me… but she sure was. I knew she was in pain. Even her composed mask couldn’t hide the anguish in those gorgeous eyes of hers. From the moment I had walked into this fucking shit-show, I could only smell and see her. She had made a statement, standing out in that black dress that was messing with my fucking self-control. I knew she did this on purpose and it was fucking working. What made it worse was the eyes that followed her around. Word had got out that Elijah Westwood’s daughter was a special wolf and I fucking hated it. The unmated Alphas watched her like fucking power-hungry leeches, and even the fuckers who weren’t into fucking power were checking her out as if she was a fucking item. To top it off, Rayhan was being a fucker again. He sur
ALEJANDRO I slowly pulled her upright into a standing position. Her body against mine, the explosive sparks that rushed through me were fucking perfect. I couldn't let her go… I wouldn’t… My resolve was breaking as I looked into this goddess’ eyes. She was even more beautiful every time I saw her… The urge to caress her smooth, shimmering skin grew and my gaze trailed over the plump lips that I just wanted to devour, her neck that was completely bare of any blemishes or mark... Perfection to be claimed and marked… Her body moulded against mine, I would say as if it was made for me, but oh yeah, she fucking was so… My gaze lingered on her lips, the emotions and need for her growing within me. I looked into her eyes and it was then reality hit and I let go of her quickly. What the fuck was that? I needed to stay away from her. "Excuse me." Jasmin said, her tone clipped, and I felt a flash of anger. Kiara looked at her, and despite her racing heart, she
ALEJANDRO I downed the liquid, relishing the way it burned my throat before I tossed the glass onto the ground, watching it shatter into a thousand pieces before gripping the balcony rail as I glared out into the darkness. Why couldn't I fucking control myself? I was fucking losing my shit and she stood there unbothered. Fuck, I was relying on her running away from me. Not coming to my fucking engagement looking like a fucking goddess. The way she stood there... poised, in control and that goddess damned aura of hers. The urge to mark and mate with her right now was taking over. I needed her gone… How do I get her to leave? "Alejandro." Rafael's voice came. Well fuck, can no one leave me the fuck alone? Clearly not. He came over and rested on the rail next to me. I clenched my jaw, glaring out ahead. "You ok? You seem… restless." He said, his fucking concern clear in his voice. I scoffed. "I'm not a fucking kid Raf, and more than that,
KIARA I closed my eyes as Alejandro made his way onto the stage. The way he walked, the confidence and swagger, and his 'I don’t give a shit' attitude made my stomach flutter crazily. Oh Goddess… this was it… I had to stay strong. It seemed I didn’t have as much effect on him as he had on me. Stay strong, Kia… I tried to push away the suffocating pain that was growing in my chest. The elder wolf – Allen - began speaking. I cast my gaze down, unable to look at the couple on stage. Count slowly, breathe steadily, conceal your emotions and stay confident. This will not break me. He had already hurt me, I don’t think there was anything that could make this worse. He was going to mark her, and although deep down a part of me hoped he’d back out, I knew things weren’t that easy. He had broken me, I had felt it and all I could think of was his comment ‘ignore her’ before he kissed Jasmin. ‘Want me to kill him?’ Dad’s voice said through the link. My h
