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 LOVE Dante! He's highly wise & intelligent! But he's still only 8 years old! I just pray EVERYONE involved, gets better & for the djinn to die! Both, Dante & Del get rid of that weird a** disease & Kiara gets control of her mind back! That crazy man deserves to no longer be on this earth!

    ALEJANDRO We had returned earlier today, and to my surprise, it was a fucking full house. Scarlett, Raven, and her pups were all here. It seemed Scarlett hadn't known when me and Kia would be back, so had come to help with the kids. We were having a meeting later, but Maria had quickly filled us in on what they had learned. Dante, he was the target. It all made sense from the start. Even Enrique had tried to attack him. I just fucking wished I knew why they wanted him, what exactly did his blood offer them? Now the smell of food wafted through the house, prepping for dinner tonight. Kiara was baking with Scarlett and even Maria was making some desserts, everyone had been happy to hear the news of the new pup. Chris seemed a little quieter, but I'm sure the concern for his mate and pup would do that to anyone. Raihana had bought all the kids and women new clothes; the girls were all in glittering dresses that reminded me of disco balls. The women were in equally fucking sparkly dres

    KIARA "So how far along are you? Any chance it’s twins?" Raven asked Raihana. We were all sitting around the table, eating and chatting. There were a huge variety of dishes, from grilled platters, wraps, enchiladas, and much more, spread across the huge table before us. "Oh, it’s definitely one." Raihana replied, kissing Chris. I smiled as I sat between my twins. Although I didn’t remember anything about any of them, in the short time that I had spent with them, I already felt like I was one of them. I mean I was, but with no memories, it was daunting. I planted a soft kiss on top of my little Maleficent’s head and then one on Kataleya, who wore a deep plum sequined dress. She was still holding her teddy bear tightly in one arm and had refused to put it down to eat. "Kat, want me to break the chicken for you?" I asked quietly, seeing her using just her fork and one-handedly trying to break it. She shook her head, her right arm tightening around her teddy. She was doing it again

    ALEJANDRO "We’ve found a location, but we haven’t pinpointed it. Last time he fucking knew Kiara was around, but I don’t think they were banking on the pup knowing those locations." Darien was saying as we gathered around my desk. Both my Deltas were here, as well as Carmen. "But if the Djinn does try to probe Enrique’s mind, there are chances he’ll learn of it. Either way, I have a plan." I said, lighting a cigarette. "What plan?" Maria asked, doing her best not to wrinkle her nose. Got to love how she wasn’t able to hide her dislike for things like smoking, no matter how much she tried. "Kiara…" I said, hating that I was going to resort to this. Not everyone in this room knew what Dante had hinted at me, and as much as I fucking hated it, I trusted everyone in this room and would share the truth with them. "What about her?" Scarlett asked sharply. "The Djinn still has a hold on her, and she’s feeling emotions that aren’t hers." I told them quietly. It fucking hurt but there

    ALEJANDRO “Please” She pleaded, taking a seat on a chair opposite my desk. “You’re asking me to fucking send you to your death.” I said quietly. “How the fuck do you expect me to agree to that? I know that it's hard living without your mate but…” I looked down at my hands, the slight scorch mark on my palm healing over before I took another cigarette out. “I am asking you to make the smarter choice. Someone who yearns to be by their mate’s side and has adult children, over someone who is leaving their eight-year-old as Alpha and their mate behind. It makes obvious sense which is the better option.” She explained quietly. “And how will you tell Raihana that her mother is going to sacrifice herself?” “The very same way you would have had to tell Skyla and Kataleya. The only difference is Raihana is a woman, not a child.” Fuck her logic. Even if it made fucking sense, I am not going to let her do this. I couldn’t… “No Maria.” I took a drag on my cigarette. “I'm doing this, if you

    MARCEL I awoke to a phone ringing and frowned. Sitting up, I picked it up. Alejandro? "Hello?" I answered it, wondering what had happened. A thousand thoughts rushed through my mind. "Hey, sorry to bother you at this fucking hour." Alejandro’s quiet voice came. Sure, it was past three in the morning, but just from his voice, I could tell he was conflicted. "It doesn’t matter, you called for a reason. Tell me what’s wrong?" I asked, standing up and began pacing my bedroom. He sighed heavily, and I heard him take a drag on a cigarette. "Maria talked to me today… it’s about the price of killing a Djinn…" I narrowed my eyes. When I had been there earlier, when we had filled each other in on our trips, he never mentioned a price. "What price?" I asked sharply. "Don’t fucking growl, I need my ears." He growled back. "I'm just asking because you never mentioned a damn price." I countered. "Yeah well… there is a price…" He filled me in pretty fast. The wielder of the dagger woul

    KIARAIt was the following day, Alejandro had looked restless and had been distracted all morning. Although he had his block up, whatever was worrying him was obviously something he didn’t want to share with me.It did hurt, but I knew he had his reasons… I myself felt so uncertain after what had happened with Dante last night. I wanted to tell Alejandro about it, but I wasn’t managing to get him for even a moment alone. Plus, I didn’t want him to get too worried, however I wasn’t stupid enough to keep silent about it."I’ll see you later, Amore Mio." He cupped my face, giving me a deep kiss before he pulled away.I nodded, unable to even argue. I had to wait for a few minutes, knowing he was busy."I love you." I whispered."Love you more." He gave me a sexy smirk, placing another kiss on my lips.His actions made me close my eyes, enjoying the feel of his touch before he walked away."Are you ok?" Mom's soft voice came as she placed her hands on my shoulders from behind, she looked

    KIARA Dante’s room was coming ever closer, and even as I tried to stop myself, I was only succeeding in slowing myself down a little. I looked around in desperation, trying to scream or make some sort of sound. NO! I am Kiara Westwood - No, I am Kiara Rossi; the queen, and the Luna of this pack. A mother. I won’t do this, I can’t! I gripped the dagger tightly. I would rather die than hurt my son! The hatred and fury coursing through me were growing stronger with each passing second, and I was beginning to be pushed into a corner of my own mind. My wolf's pain and restlessness mixed with my own. Not today. No one was going to take my body from me. Summoning every ounce of willpower I could, I forced all my concentration into trying to break free. I screamed as I forced my aura to burst through the barrier that seemed to be subduing it. It swirled around me like a storm, a clear purple visible around me as it blasted in all directions. I heard glass shattering nearby and dista

    ALEJANDRO I hated seeing the fear on her face as she put distance between us, running to the door. "LIAM!" She shouted, pulling the door open, turning and rushing to my side. She hesitated, falling to her knees a few feet from me. "Alejandro, baby, are you ok?" She asked, reaching out, then hesitating as Liam and Raven entered. "I’ll get help." Raven murmured, running off. "Alejandro." Liam was by my side, and although my entire body was fucking burning up and felt like it was being fucking torn apart from inside, I was in my fucking senses. "Take care of her." I growled, staggering to my feet. "I'm fine, Amore Mio, calm down." I wanted to pull her into my fucking arms, but she was fucking scared of being near me and I did not want to make her even more panicked. "I’m going to get some antidote." I heard Liam say as he lifted Kiara to her feet, taking her out of the room with him. I could feel my body fighting it and the urge to shift took over. A menacing growl that I knew f

    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
