ALEJANDRO
An hour had passed since everyone had been healed or taken care of. As much as I fucking hated it, Kiara healed everyone without a care who saw her ability and who didn’t. I knew Elijah wasn’t pleased, but it seemed like me, he probably didn’t feel like there was anything we could have fucking done to stop her. Something about Kiara’s aura, her strength, and the way she oozed authority seemed to carry itself knowingly.
As I said, she’s a fucking queen.
Alpha Jake was sent home after being given the option to hold a funeral for his mate here, but he refused. I sent men with the families of those who had lost someone and the injured that were now mostly healed were given the option to stay and rest or leave.
The Alphas who were unharmed all decided to take their leave. With these attacks, they didn’t feel comfortable leaving their packs unwatched. Although we all knew the target was Kiara. This new warning may have hinted at attacks on packs,

KIARA I hated this. The constant assumptions, decisions and looks I was getting from everyone. I don’t know what I wanted... Did I want him? Yes, deep down I did, but he had also hurt me beyond anything I could ever imagine. The pain threatened to suffocate me as I took a deep breath. "I Kiara Westwood of The Desert Storm Pack, rej-" He was in front of me in the blink of an eye, his hand covering my mouth. Sparks rushed through my very veins at his touch. A storm of emotions in those dark orbs of his. His heart raced as fast as my own was. My stomach knotted as I stared into his eyes as he shook his head slowly. His unspoken message was loud and clear. Don’t do this. That’s what he was saying. Then why couldn't he tell me why he didn’t want me? Rafael’s question was the one I wanted an answer to. A whistle broke me out of my thoughts as Rayhan chuckled. "That should answer enough questions… Sorry Jasmin, you’re not really wanted." He s
KIARA Three hours had passed, and I still wasn’t able to sleep. Every time I shut my eyes, I was either seeing Alejandro telling Jasmin to ignore me or him saying he couldn't mark her. I pushed the covers off, now agitated. I had blocked the mind link off because I didn’t want to talk to anyone, and I was glad Mom hadn't tried to bother me. We both needed to calm down. I had even texted Raven, filling her in on everything two hours ago, but she must be asleep now… The forty-minute shower I had when I came up wasn’t enough to relax me… What should I do? A sudden thought came to me and I smiled. I knew what I should do… and it was already late, no one would be awake. Kicking off the covers, I jumped out of my bed, wincing at the pain in my ankle. I paused, remembering how it hadn't hurt when I had lunged at the Wendigo... Did my ability have something to do with that? I would need to trial it out another time. I didn’t want to attract Wendigos. I pulled
KIARA "Selene can make mistakes…" Alejandro said quietly. "Maybe, but I'm strong. You know that." I turned away to check my brownies. Deep down, I knew he just needed some love… but I also needed him to take that first step. "You fucking are…" The smell of brownies filled the air. "Kiara." I looked at him, as he struggled to say what he wanted to. "What is it?" I asked. "I was-" The beep of the oven made us both turn. He looked away, picking up his glass, I wanted to know what he had wanted to say. Damn… I walked over to the oven, grabbing the gloves and took my brownies out. Taking a knife, I took the tray to where he was sitting and cut them into pieces. I wasn’t even done, and he reached for a piece. I tapped his hand with the knife, my eyes flashing. "I didn’t say you could have any." "Too bad, I don’t fucking care." He said, taking a square, giving me a challenging loo
KIARA ‘Amore Mio’… My love in Italian… The words Alejandro had said before he left the kitchen. Words that only gave my wolf hope whilst creating uncertainty and curiosity about what the future might hold. These words filled my mind and entered my restless dreams. Dreams where he marks Jasmin, tells her to ignore me before they walk away. Dreams that hurt. The scene constantly changed from his whispered words of sweetness to him turning his back on me. "Rise and shine Kia." Mom's voice made my eyes open suddenly. "Mom, ever heard of knocking?" I asked, rubbing my eyes as she pulled the curtains open. She gave me a small smirk. "Yeah, I just didn’t want to." I rolled my eyes, my eyes falling on the two mugs of hot chocolate that sat on my bedside table. I knew she wanted to talk… great… She sat at the end of my bed. Without her trademark red lipstick that she was rarely seen without, she looked years younger. I sw
ALEJANDRO Last night I had slipped up and said Amore Mio to her face. That was fucking messed up, especially since I was about to fucking mark someone in front of her. I needed to take a step back and see where to go from here. She had given me hope, a hope I didn’t deserve, and one that I didn’t know I couldn’t live without. Seeing her baking those brownies… in my house. I wanted her here forever. I knew in that moment she was the one I wanted to wake up to every morning. The last thing I saw before I fell asleep at night. I wanted her to warm my bed, just how she was fucking warming my heart. Yeah, I knew I cared for her, but accepting her... That part still fucked me up. She was strong and I knew she could handle me… Not to mention I was too fucking weak to live without her. So here the fuck I was, after a long run, thinking all night and day about her… I knew I needed her… But I needed to work on the shit I fucked up and to
KIARA I almost burst out laughing at the way he struggled. I pressed my lips together to stifle the giggle but I still had a huge smile on my face. He was actually trying? That was cute... Let’s see how long it lasts. He began speaking again and I ignored all the looks we were getting. More so, Alejandro was receiving. After all, the man listened to no one. I felt a fuzzy warmth inside me. He was trying, and in return, I wasn’t going to press his buttons just to see how far he would go. We both had a long way to go and just acting on our emotions was not going to be enough. "I want to go with you." I said suddenly. All eyes snapped towards me and I saw both Dad and Alejandro frown. "Kia, it’s really dangerous." Aunty Indy said, concerned. "Doesn't matter. I'm strong and Alejandro will be with me." I said, my heart hammering at the thought of going anywhere alone with him… Shit, maybe this was a bad idea. "I don’t know if
KIARA Waiting for her reply was terrifying, I didn’t want to hear that he knew… "Oh Kia, no! And don’t tell him… He was pissed off when he found out about his affairs. He’s been really good and always telling me not to stand for it. You can’t tell him, I can’t trust that he’ll let it slide. Alejandro doesn't forgive Kia." "He shouldn’t as well." I retorted. The relief that flooded me made my stomach flutter. I was glad… It all made sense now. "This is my decision." Her tone was firm but I felt torn. Was it ok to just leave it? Wasn’t she a victim who was too emotionally invested to get out? I needed to ask someone for advice… "If this baby gets hurt… I swear I won’t leave him." I said quietly. I placed my hands on her shoulders as I closed my eyes, feeling her pain. My eyes opened as I healed her injuries. The reason she was pale was because she was in pain… She had several injuries and some broken bones that hadn't healed full
KIARA Alejandro left and I knew he had heard our conversation… But how much of it? Did he hear the part where I asked Aunty Indy if he knew… I expected him to be honest… It was high time I tried to do my part too… My stomach twisted, knowing deep down a time would come when I’d have to tell him about Rayhan... I looked down, sighing deeply. "El…" Aunty whispered. "I don’t know what to say Indy… I can’t believe I had to hear that from him and not you. I'm your brother; heck, that’s what I'm there for! You should have told me." "I didn’t want you to get mad at him or make him leave." She whispered, breaking into tears. Dad pulled her into his arms, I could see the pain and sadness on his face. He was always there for us… "After what Jessica’s been through, and you girls as well, why would you settle for this Indy? The goddess did not create mates to hurt one another." He whispered, caressing her hair. "I know, but the bon
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
