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?

Leo is just hurting like Alejandro was when he was young. He needs guidance and to be shown the truth about what happened to Del and see if that changes him. But Marcel casting him aside will make it worse

And, there it is… Enrique has even less now. He is 10 years old; this is so wrong in so many ways! Look at agro Leo, shifting and still being a grade A a-hole with no respect or kindness for anyone, especially his father.

    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

  • King Alejandro: The Return Of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha   71. Goodbyes

    ALEJANDRO The meeting was over, we would be leaving soon. Everything was finally in place. I had given the men of my pack half an hour to say goodbye to their families, because although I would do my best to make sure the losses were minimum… There would still be losses. "You aren’t well Alpha, are you sure you should be leading?" Carmen said quietly as we walked towards the cells. I cast her a cold glare. "I'm fine, go do whatever the fuck you need to." I commanded coldly. "I am the fucking king, and I plan to lead my men regardless of my health. She lowered her head and walked out, leaving me alone to head down to where my queen was bound. Sure, I was in fucking pain and the bouts of coughing up blood were growing, but I was still fucking strong. My stomach twisted the closer I got to where Kiara was locked up. Taking a deep breath, I unlocked the door then walked down and through to the end cell. She lay on a slab of silver, chained to it. She was also hooked up to a machine

    ELIJAH The silence that followed once the rest had left was deafening. The unease I could sense from Raihana and Raven was growing, and even the kids were quieter. Azura was still in a strop from her little run-in with Leo, frowning as she sat there with her arms folded. She may be a feisty little one, but her stubbornness and the ability to hold grudges topped even Scarlett’s. She was staring at the floor, her chest heaving and her nostrils still flared. Dante was lying down with his eyes shut, but I knew he was awake. His fists were clenched, and he had a frown on his face. The quintuplets, Ahren, Sienna, and Tatum, were playing with Raihana, who was keeping them occupied with magical bubbles. Bubbles that were floating around endlessly. "How long until they get there?" Raven asked me quietly. "A few hours more, it’s only been about one hour." I replied, glancing out at the sky. It was late afternoon now. I didn’t blame them, knowing that Scarlett was out there… I felt frustra

    ALEJANDRO It was as if time had fucking slowed, flames surrounding Scarlett and the fucker. I could see her skin melting away to reveal a raw layer beneath it. I watched as she plunged her hand into his chest fearlessly, but my stomach twisted the moment I saw his clawed hand ripping into her chest too. He gripped her other arm, crushing the wrist of her hand that was trying to bury itself into his chest. He was clearly unharmed by her attempt. His eyes blazed and I saw the determination in them, knowing he was ready to kill. Fuck no. Not under my fucking watch. I was by her side in a flash, grabbing hold of the fucker’s hand before he managed to rip her heart from her chest. It fucking burned like a bitch to touch him. He was fucking powerful, his eyes were blazing with unspeakable fucking power and his aura swirling around us like a fucking tornado. So, this was the man behind everything. "Well, well, well… The Lycan king himself still came to battle even when he’s so weak…" He

  • King Alejandro: The Return Of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha   74. In The Cells

    ELIJAH I had just done the round of the pack grounds, when I had felt a searing pain that made me double over. Scarlett. Fear enveloped me as the pain blinded me, making several men run to me, but soon it was gone, and I knew she was ok. I hadn't felt the bond snap… Fuck… Unlike the rest of the pack who were tied to Liam, my mate was the only one bound to me. She needed to be ok. Whatever had happened had been a close call, and although I wanted to get someone to find out, they needed to focus on the battle… It took me a few moments to regain myself before I entered the Night Walkers' Headquarters to go have a look to see if Kiara was ok. Doctor Callum was waiting for me inside, as he needed to administer the dose to keep her weakened and unconscious. A few guards and others working were carrying on with their jobs, but the tension that hung in the air was obvious. Several gave me a polite nod as I walked past and headed down to the cells. Two of the guards flanked the door, and

  • King Alejandro: The Return Of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha   75. When Hope Is Lost

    RAYHAN This was it… I saw Mom and Uncle exchange looks, almost as if Uncle was trying to relay a message. I didn’t need to be able to read minds to know what was on his mind. The emotions in his eyes spoke louder than words ever could. If there was any doubt that maybe Dante was wrong and this wasn’t going to happen, it now vanished. That exchange said it all. I saw the pain in Uncle’s eyes before he lunged at the Djinn, hatred and anger clear in his eyes as he roared. His aura radiated off of him. The Djinn intercepted him, knocking him back and roaring in an unearthly way, his fiery body illuminating the darkening skies. "He will not be able to hold that form for too long, but it gives him enough time to find a new host!" Someone shouted. Time was running out. A clash of attacks were happening in all directions, and I took a moment to try to assess our next move. ‘When all hope is lost…’ Right now, we were holding well… When was the right moment? And how was I meant to wor

    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
