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
ALEJANDRO "Al." Darien called me, but it was fucking hard to keep myself together when my woman was fucking chained up down beneath these very pack grounds. "Call for a meeting in an hour’s time. Have the witches on call and wire the Alphas involved. It’s time we took this fucker down. What’s the count at?" "Four hundred and thirty-two." Darien replied after checking his phone. I nodded. "Spread farther out if we fucking need to, no one rests until we have what we need." I ordered coldly before walking away from him, no longer able to control my aura that was swirling around me in waves of darkness. This fucker has hurt my family, repeatedly… but to try to use my own mate against me… The urge to rip him apart piece by fucking piece sounded very enticing. I was about to go to my office at headquarters, but I didn’t think staying in one fucking room for an hour was going to help. So instead, I decided to go for a walk around the pack instead, and maybe for a run. A pack that had
MARIA Four days had passed since the meeting and we were getting ever closer to the blood count, which meant the time to leave would be soon… It had been four days since Kiara had lost control and was now being kept unconscious. Seeing her lying there on a bed of silver with chains holding her down was painful. I had wanted to talk to her before I left, one final time… to ask her to take care of my grandchildren… to take the place of that grandmother figure for them that I no longer would be able to fulfil… but I didn’t have the luxury to bid her goodbye. I now stood outside Raihana’s bedroom, hesitating. I had told her I had wanted a word, so she was expecting me, but I was feeling a little uncertain. Scared even. I swallowed hard trying to be strong. How do I tell my daughter that I wasn’t coming back? "Aunty Maria, come in." Chris said opening the door and flashing me a smirk. I smiled, and entered their bedroom, my heart pounding, which made Chris look at me suspiciously. "
ENRIQUE "I will kill him!" My heart was thumping in fear, I was terrified. I had returned to my pack in Puerto Rico, but when Padre found out I was back, he demanded I be brought back to England because he wanted to see me. I hated this place. It was nothing but a nightmare for me. My entire body was hurting me, but father didn’t stop. He kept kicking me. Again and again. I wanted to ask him why he didn’t come for me? Didn’t he love me? "Tell me, you hijo de puta! TELL ME!" Father screamed. Father… "I don’t know anything." I coughed as he kicked me again. "There is no way he would have let you go without something in return!" He hissed. "Tell me, what did you tell him?!" "Nothing Padre, I don’t know anything to have told him!" I cried out fearfully. Another kick to the head. I had pleaded for the last hour, yet he didn’t believe me. He kept hurting me and the memory of how I was always in pain returned to me. But why did it feel so much worse? Will I die? "You won’t speak?
ALEJANDRO "Come back Rayhan. We only have a couple dozen to go. You need to be here with Delsanra, even if it’s just for a bit." I said quietly through the phone. "Yeah." His quiet reply came. "I want to, but me coming back slows things down. We need to work as fast as possible." He’d been fucking strong, even with each passing day… Delsanra hadn't woken up in the last twenty hours and we were all getting fucking worried. Her heart was fading and time was running out. Kiara was knocked out in the cells, yet at times I felt the pain and agony through the bond. He was hurting her, trying to awaken her, and it fucking hurt, knowing I was causing her pain too. "Alright… How long do you think it’ll take?" I asked. "I'm going to say a day at most, I'm getting this fucking done." He replied, his voice dangerously low. "Got it." I hung up, dropping into my seat. I was trying to keep my shit together, but the poison was fucking messing me up too. Janaina and Elijah were in the room. Ev
RAYHAN I had returned back to Uncle’s pack the day after he had called and told me to come home, I had refused, but I had finally gotten the blood count we needed plus an extra ten in case some were not viable. I couldn’t afford to lose more time; with each passing day my kitten was getting worse, I couldn’t just sit back and wait. Seeing her state when I entered our bedroom had made my stomach plummet, the fear and worry I was feeling only worsened. She hadn't woken up since last night. "What was the last thing she said?" I asked Mom quietly, as I rocked Sienna. Running my other hand through Delsanra’s white hair, hair that I loved as much as the woman they belonged to. The sun shone through the window, illuminating her pale skin. If it wasn’t for the veins that covered her, it was as if she was just asleep. "She simply said something to me, I'm not sure what time it was." Mom said quietly, trying to keep her face blank, but I could see the emotions and the pain in her eyes. She
RAYHAN I turned sharply to see Dante standing there, reaching over he quietly shut the door. "What do you mean she’s going to sacrifice herself?" I asked sharply. He looked down the hallway before motioning at me to follow him. Why did he act like a twenty-year-old rather than his age? This boy… but I was far more worried about what he had just said outside Mom's room. A thousand thoughts crossed my mind as he opened my bedroom door, making Raihana look at us questioningly. "You can leave." Dante said to her, making her frown. "And what are you doing here?" She asked. "I came to see Delsanra." He replied haughtily. Walking around the bed, he looked down at her. Side by side, it was clear that the veins on Delsanra’s skin were a lot worse. The asshat bent down and placed a kiss on her forehead, making Raihana smirk. "Ah, the cousins are fighting over a girl." She teased. "We aren’t. She’s mine." I said, crossing my arms. I wanted to ask what he meant, but it was obvious he was
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
