KIARA It was the day Enrique was leaving. The weather was cool, and although the sun was shining, it didn’t match the mood of the Rossi Mansion. Looking at him standing there with nothing but a small cross-body bag with some cash and a passport, broke my heart. He was a child with his life ahead of him, but seeing the empty look in his eyes, it was like he had given up on his life. Kataleya stood hidden behind the front door. She didn’t say anything to him or try to meet him again, he had said nothing to her. I could hear her stifled sobs as she peeped out through the crack, knowing that this was the last time she’d see him. I hated seeing her in pain too… "Are you sure you don’t want the phone?" I asked, holding up the phone he had passed back to me. "No thank you, Queen Luna." He replied, his eyes cold. "He doesn’t fucking trust it." Alejandro said, crouching down before the boy. "So, one of my men will take you to the airport, you get on the flight and you’re in Puerto Rico. A
MARIA Just over an eight-hour flight later, we had landed in Puerto Rico. The moment we stepped out onto the steps, I was hit by how humid it was. The weather was rather warm and I waved my hand, fanning my face. "It is really hot." Liam murmured. Dressed in three-quarter pants and a white short-sleeved shirt with sunglasses, he was prepared for the weather. I was too, wearing tan pants and a chiffon white blouse, with a large tan-coloured sun hat and sunglasses. "It is, it's nice." Marcel replied, he was dressed the most casual in a t-shirt and jeans, unlike both Liam and I, who looked like tourists. His similarities to Rafael were always a painful reminder of the man I had lost, but they were moons apart. My Rafael was one of a kind, no matter how similar one looked. We made our way down the steps, I could hear music in the distance, and as we made our way through the airport to collect our luggage, I could tell that the locals all seemed rather friendly. Smiling as they walked
MARIA "So, we’ll follow secretly and keep hidden away." Marcel was saying, the bedroom door was open as I finished getting ready for the evening. I had chosen a strapless lace beige dress that reached just below my knees, curled my hair, and slipped on a pair of matching beige heels. I wasn’t wearing any jewellery, and as I applied my makeup, making sure to cover up my mate mark, my mind once again went to my love. My wolf's whimper in my mind squeezed at my heart, but what could I do? There was nothing that could take away the pain of the fact that he had died protecting me. I should have died that day, not him. I closed my eyes, holding the lipstick in my fingers tightly. It took me a moment for that anguish to calm within me, and exhaling softly, I continued to apply my make-up. "Yeah, we have a locator on Aunty, we just need to be careful." Liam agreed with Marcel. I had messaged the man, who I learned was named Carlos, and he was going to meet me at the corner. I had told hi
KIARA We had reached Italy, landing at the airport in Milan late in the afternoon. After doing a little more digging thanks to Raihana, we found that this was roughly the area where the Lupo Nero Pack once resided. An area now under the hold of a new pack and Alpha. I was standing on the balcony and looking out at the scenery before me, we were in a small town on the outskirts of the city, in a small hotel that we were only stopping at for a few hours to rest and freshen up before we headed on to our destination. It was haunting to know that powerful packs could be wiped out and forgotten, just like nations, empires, and tribes of long ago. Imagine diving into the past and learning about all this stuff? Would we one day be forgotten as well? “Care to share what’s on your mind?” Alejandro asked, wrapping his strong arms around me from behind. I closed my eyes, relishing in the sparks of his touch. He had just showered and was only wearing pants as he held me against his bare chest.
ALEJANDROKiara frowned as she listened to him. Matteo was straight to the point, and it was clear he didn’t have any hidden agenda. Well so far, he hadn't displayed anything strange. But I’ll withhold judgement until the end of this meeting.“DeAngelo Rossi was the most powerful Alpha around, and he proclaimed himself a king of alphas. A title he took by his own means, forcing the other packs to bend to him or they would be slain. At first, many packs refused to obey and he followed up on his threat.” Matteo frowned slightly, shaking his head. “But that was not enough, he began to interfere in other pack's internal affairs and taking women of choice for his entertainment. Many women were stolen away and never seen again.”“He had five women over the course of time, correct?” I asked sharply.Matteo shrugged.“He took many women, but only a few of those who he took were recorded or given any importance. Those are the ones you are most likely referring to. The fear of our women being ta
ALEJANDRO “Yeah? Well, I hope it does you fucking good. Let’s just hope you’re not killed for power.” I smirked sardonically, standing up. “Ah no, that is your forte.” He tensed as if scared of my response, but I didn’t have time for this shit. I looked down at him. “When I return home, I will transfer the rest of the money. If anything else comes to mind, you will let me know.” I commanded coldly, my aura rolling off me. His heart began racing, and I saw the panic that flitted across his face. “What do you know?” I growled, grabbing him by the collar and slamming him up against the wall. “I…I… I can’t say.” He choked, “You can. What. Do. You. Know?!” I thundered, releasing my aura. I heard Kiara gasp as the man struggled to breathe. “King Alejandro, you are a fool… Your son… We all know he appears like a normal boy, but the eyes of the world are on him. We know you have witches on your side, it’s easy to mask his abilities but tell me, how long will you hide what he is?” “Wh
RAIHANA I had told Chris about the pregnancy the same day we had returned from Uncle’s pack, he had been concerned with everything going on but super happy. Pampering me even more than normal if that was even possible, and although I wanted to share the news with everyone else, now was not the time. With Mom in Puerto Rico and Uncle gone to Italy, I felt even more restless. I had initially suggested to Chris we should go to Uncle’s pack but he refused, saying they’d call if they needed us, but I knew he was just being protective of me and our unborn pup. I had gotten a scan done and our little baby was healthy and growing well, although it was still early days. "You need to relax, Ma Chérie." Chris whispered, walking around the sofa as he placed his hands on my shoulders, massaging them, making sparks dance through me. I moaned softly, loving the feel of his hands on my skin. It was past midnight, Chris had been finishing off some pack work in the living room and I had stayed with
RAYHAN I hung up the phone, frowning, we had five kids in the house plus Delsanra, if anything went down… I was glad Chris and Ri would be coming soon, it was just a little more security. Although our own security was already at the max. Uncle Elijah was here too, it should be ok, right? For a second, I realised how uncle must feel, knowing that everyone’s responsibility was on his head. I paced the lounge, running a hand through my hair. I needed to relax... There was no way the Djinn would come here. I had a strong feeling that he couldn’t come here, or by now wouldn’t he have already done so? "You know, if you can’t take care of Delsanra, I wouldn’t mind doing it." I stopped in my tracks, turning and looking at Dante, who was standing there, arms crossed, smirking smugly in the doorway to the living room. "Don’t worry, I can handle my kitten." I replied, giving him a cocky smirk back. "Hmm, sure." "Why are you awake?" I asked, watching as he looked down the hall. "I want h
Thank you for reading, please do take a moment to read this full note. First of all, I want to say thank you to each and every one of you for giving this book a try. I hope you enjoyed this book as much as I enjoyed writing it! This is the last book in the Alpha series, but as this journey comes to a close a new adventure awaits. Although I had originally wanted to make the Alpha series a 7 book series, with more ideas and due to the timeline I decided to make the next two books part of the spin-off series. The Rossi Legacies. Book 1 of the Rossi Legacies is coming to GoodNovel this September! Starting with none other than Leo Rossi and our Westwood devil herself! Keep an eye out for the book title: Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire - Some of you may have been here since I first started on my journey last year, whilst others have found me recently. I appreciate each and every one of you for giving my books a try. For those who are not on my social pa ges you will learn that I ha
RAYHAN "Let me take pictures with my girl!" Raihana said, forcing me to move away from Delsanra who I had up against a tree. I raised an eyebrow, but she didn’t wait for permission, pulling my kitten away with her. She was in a metallic gold dress herself, whilst Del looked fucking fine in a powder blue mini strapless dress with a dipping neckline, the dress was like a fitted ribbed corset that was cut in a V showing off her thighs, with a bling border and dangly strings of silver gems around the entire hem of it. Gems that glittered and swayed with every move she made. Her hair was up in a messy, sexy bun, and even now, as she talked to Raihana, she was the epitome of temptation and beauty. "I don’t know if I should be jealous of Delsanra or smug at the fact you’re suffering with me." Chris remarked, coming over. He was wearing a black and gold shirt with white pants. "Don’t you get bored wearing what she tells you?" I mocked, ignoring his taunt. He looked a little gutted. "She
SCARLETT I looked in the mirror, applying my trademark red lipstick. Years had passed but some things never changed, like my love for the colour red. I was wearing a sequined black dress that reached the ground, the sequins bleeding into a deep red from the knee downwards. There was also a thigh-high slit on the left. I had my hair sleekly straightened and I had just finished applying my lipstick when Elijah stepped out of the bathroom, already dressed in wine-red pants and jacket with a black shirt underneath it. His hair was styled sexily, letting his natural waves fall over his forehead, his sandy brown hair now sprinkled with a dusting of silver. He licked his lips as he looked me over his eyes flashing cobalt blue and his tongue piercing catching the light. Goddess, he still made my core throb, just like he always did. I could never resist this man. I bit my lip as I smoothed the fabric of my dress, slowly watching as he closed the gap between us, gripping my waist. "So, how
KIARA Just over one year later… It was new years eve and we had all been invited to the Blood Moon pack this year. Maria, Del, Ri, and everyone was here. This year, although we were having a huge party with the two packs tomorrow, today was just a smaller group which included the Beta and Delta families of the Blood Moon and the Blue Moon. It was now evening and me, Del, Ri, Raven, Robyn and Taylor were in the kitchen at Mom’s. Dinner had been prepared by Mom, Aunty Monica and Maria, so us six were responsible for the desserts. We’d had a late lunch and the kids had an early dinner before they had taken naps as the older ones wanted to stay awake for the fireworks. As for Asher, Sienna, Alessandra, and Heaven, they would be put to bed before midnight with Raihana saying magic would keep their rooms totally soundproof from the sound of fireworks. "Daddy, can I have another cookie?" Chase, Taylor and Zack’s three-year-old son, asked. "Not now, ok, Aunty Raven says no." Taylor resp
ALEJANDRO "That’s it, keep going Luna. You’re almost there." Doctor Linda encouraged. I ran my hand through my hair, fuck I hated this part. I looked down at the hospital bed where Kiara lay, a thin layer of sweat covering her forehead as she held my hand in a tight grip. Her legs propped up and she wore a loose button-down dress that reached mid-thigh. Her eyes were shut as she breathed steadily and heavily. Our pup was almost here, but it was giving Kiara a damn hard time. She had been in labour for the last seventy-two hours and I swear I was going to give this little one a good telling off for putting her through this shit. Then again, I’m the one who put a pup in her. "Is the baby here yet?" I heard Azura’s voice from the hallway. "What have I said about patience if you want to wait here? Come on let's go get something to drink, baby." Scarlett’s reply came. I know the walls were thick but even soundproof walls didn’t work on my hearing. Scarlett, Elijah and Azura had show
Three months later… ALEJANDRO The hum of conversation in the room full of men in suits holding glasses of wine only made me want to fucking leave. I pulled at my tie, wanting to fucking toss it aside. If it wasn’t for how important this conference was, I wouldn’t be here to begin with. Oh, and the fact that I called for it I looked over at Kiara, who was wearing all white, looking fucking fine as she talked to Delsanra, a hand resting on her baby bump. A bump that had grown over the last few months. She was glowing, the light that she always seemed to hold showed on her face, and that small smile that I loved so fucking much played on her lips as she talked. Her sandy brown hair was coiled up into an elegant bun on top of her head. Our pup… We had decided not to find out the gender this time, deciding on keeping it a surprise. I knew this was going to be the last, so I made sure I spent as much fucking time by her side as possible, enjoying these fleeting moments and treating her l
ELIJAH I pulled on some sweatpants before running a comb through my hair, the dusting of greys was even more prominent lately. I actually liked the look, it just made me look sexier and even Red liked it. Today had been like any other day in the Westwood mansion, actually, it had been extra hectic since we had a party tomorrow. I had just showered and had now decided to go find Scarlett. I could hear Raven trying to get the boys settled into their beds, Liam had just gotten back from a pack meeting and was in the kitchen making him and his mate some drinks. He had gone after his mom in that department, and although I wouldn’t really admit it, he was a pretty good baker just like Red and Kiara. We all kind of retreated to our bedrooms pretty early most days, the days were hectic with the kids and work but once they were all in bed we would get some alone time with our partners. There were the occasional two days each week where we would have some adult time and just spend it togethe
DELSANRA "Smile Mama Mari." I said giving her a hug. "I am smiling." She replied, giving me a small smile. Of everyone she had been the only one with mixed feelings about the outcome, she had been so prepared to meet Papa Raf it was as if it had been stolen from her. But she had kept busy, and I think it was really helping her. Both Rayhan and I had told her to talk to us when she felt down, and I planned to keep on top of it too. I would make sure she didn’t feel lonely and I had talked to her about calming sleeping spells for night-time as I know that was when she felt the loneliest. She had said she would have a think about it. Her job as the head warrior was something everyone was excited about. The Ahmar Qamar pack fighting style was one of the best and the fact that Mama Mari was the last remaining member who was trained in it was something that Rayhan said was something to think about. How she needed to pass it on, and although she had said that she would teach it to her gr
ALEJANDRO I looked over at Rayhan as we stood outside the entrance to the Sangue Pack, his hair was pulled into a bun and he had a frown on his face. "This is it." I said quietly. "Sometimes, admitting that we made a mistake takes a lot, for you to want to do this yourself, I'm proud of you, and I'm sure more than me, Rafael would be prouder." He nodded, as Kiara placed a hand on his arm. "We got this, and besides, we’re doing this together." She said, giving him a warm smile. "Don’t make me out as a good person, I only regret that others suffered, not for what I did to those individuals." He said, looking at the gates. Kiara nodded. "That is enough in itself." I replied. "Hm, does Marcel know we’re here?" Rayhan asked quietly. I nodded. "Yeah, someone should be here to escort us inside." I replied, pulling Kiara into my arms. A few days after my picnic date with Kiara, Rayhan had rang to ask that although Leo refused, if it was ok to visit the Sangue pack. He said he wanted
