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
ALEJANDRO I looked at the body of the man before me, I noticed that his breathing was shallow as he lay there unconscious. I moved Kiara away from him, wanting to hold on to her forever but I knew I couldn't. "Did you feel anything? Apart from turning this fucker human again." I asked her. "He was in pain, it felt like despair. I don’t think they’re the real enemy." She said. Her sexy voice was like fucking music to my ears. The urge to just close my eyes and listen to her filled me. I wasn’t sure I’d ever get the luxury or even the courage to ask her to lull me to sleep… I frowned. Where the fuck was my mind going? "Was there magic?" "I couldn't sense it off of him." Her reply came. I looked at her, her eyes gazing at the ground, a few inches away from where the man lay. My heart fucking twisted at that, how did it feel to not be able to see? I had the strong urge to pull her into my arms. But I didn’t. "Ok… We’ll leav
KIARA He looked at me sharply. My heart was thudding painfully. The pain of my wolf, her regret, my guilt… I had to do this, sooner or later I would have to tell him and I’d rather do it before he somehow found out from someone else. The fact he hadn't slept with anyone other than me really hit a nerve. No matter how he reacted… He had pushed me away. "What is it?" He asked, turning back to the road. I looked at his face, his sharp chiselled jaw, his small beard, his tattoos… his necklaces… "I… The night after what happened in Doctor Callum’s office, when I found out that the engagement was still on. I felt used, hurt and stupid." I took a deep breath. You got this girl… Come clean before it comes and bites you later on… I closed my eyes. "That night I… I slept with Rayhan." There I said it. My heart was racing as I waited for his reaction. I opened my eyes when he said nothing, I was expecting his aura and anger to unleash upo
SCARLETT I was sat with a hot drink in my hand looking at Indigo, who was sitting there silently as Elijah held her. She had argued with me and it had taken Elijah a lot to calm me down. I had been so angry that Fred had done this to her. More so, I was angry at myself for not seeing it. Yes, I saw that with time she had become quieter, but people change with time. Never would I have thought she was being abused. I put her change down to her countless miscarriages, that they were the reason for her quieter mood and the emotions that sometimes filled her eyes. I just wished I had known. When had Indigo become so… timid? She had always been confident, feisty and headstrong. Even when Daniel, her best friend, had found his mate Jake, she had given the guy a tough telling off. She said that if he ever hurt Daniel, she’d make him pay. Indigo was never the type to just sit back. I took the seat on the other side of her. "Indy…" She looked at me, her eyes du
KIARA We had changed routes and had now been in the car for over three hours in total. I was feeling a bit peckish too. "Isn't this towards Rafael’s pack?" I said, addressing him without uncle still felt weird. Alejandro looked at me with a small mocking smirk on his lips. "Rafael? What happened to ‘Uncle’?’" Oh great, he picked up on that… "Well, it would be weird to call my mates brother, uncle now wouldn’t it?" I retorted. He tilted his head, switching the dome lights on as he looked at me. "Hmm, or you could call me daddy if you like?" He suggested with a wink. My cheeks flushed and I glared at him, ignoring the way my body was reacting to him. "I am not calling you that. Ever!" I snapped back. "It was just a suggestion, Amore Mio. Why are you getting so worked up? Unless you were imagining calling me that..." He taunted me, with those onyx eyes watching me sexily. Our eyes locked and
