~ ENRIQUE ~ The crawler had finally been moved to the dungeons, with hopefully a prison secure enough to hold him. Royce, Raihana, Delsanra and I formed it together. Seeing them perform spells, I almost felt I understood them. I was told I could perform magic without the need of spells. That is something I have yet to try when my mind isn’t consumed by turmoil. Now we see if the cell holds. However, aside from hissing and shrieking, we got nothing out of him. Raihana suggested we wait for Kataleya to wake up since Azarakh has conversed with her before, but that she will continue to try to get it to speak. I want to head back to the hospital but there’s still so much pending. “Jose, get the car. I need to visit the family of the deceased,” I order. “Alpha Enrique. I need your permission to allow me to question Hugo, with magic, if needed. He has lied, or at least kept things from you and us,” Raihana says. I frown, “What do you mean?” “You don’t need the Ash Stone to control th

~ ENRIQUE ~ The next was a devastated mate who had felt the pack-link break and had gone into labour earlier than she should have. The worst time for someone to learn they have lost their mate. She had already known he was gone. I won’t forget the look in her eyes as she clutched her baby daughter, asking me why he died. I hit send, sending the plans I want put in place to secure any future attacks on the power lines to Jose, who would get me the supplies needed to create a barrier around them with some parts that needed to be made to keep them accessible when needed and ready for me. I will have to work with the electrician on that as soon as they are ready and the current wiring is all fixed. ‘Elena, how is she?’ ‘Same as she was twenty minutes ago, Alpha.’ ‘I get it,’ I answer through gritted teeth. ‘Sorry, Alpha. I know you’re worried, but we are doing what we can and I spoke to her sister. Her mother will be flying out soon. She is the blessed wolf. She is a healer.’ I

~ LIAM ~ “Nothing...” Raihana sighs as the crawler simply hisses at her again. “Well, seems we won’t be getting answers from him. So shall we talk now?” “What is it? I told you I had something to do. That’s why I left.” “Yeah, but we were meant to stay together, especially at such a moment. Kat is…” I sigh, I don’t want to blame her, this isn’t on her, but maybe things could have gone better and no one might have died if we had them both here too. “Are you accusing me of Kat’s state? Couldn’t you guys handle it?” Raihana asks sharply, her eyes flashing with hurt. “I wanted to help her; we needed answers.” “No, I am not, Raihana. I’m just saying-” “I’m done with this conversation. I don’t answer to you.” “You kinda do. I was put in charge,” I say, blocking her path, my eyes glimmering. “We all know I was sent to make sure everything went smoothly. Do you want me to report your actions to Alejandro?” Her eyes flash as she steps closer, glaring up at me. “Don’t threaten me.” “I’

~ ENRIQUE ~“What did you just say?” I ask, staring at Benigno, my eyes simmering with rage.He bows low. “Mi Rey, it is as Antonio confirmed. We are sorry, but Hugo is nowhere to be found.”“Keep looking, I want him found!” I snarl. ‘Jose, send a team out to find Hugo. I need the hijo de puta to be found and brought before me!’‘Understood. I will deploy a large number of warriors to make sure this is done,’ he replies.I punch the wall beside me, glaring at Benigno. “So how about you start from the fucking beginning? Why did you conspire against me? Why did Rhea play me as if I owed you something? Why did Hugo say the very fucking same? I am not like my father, but I assure you if you cross me, I will fucking kill you,” I snarl.He bows low, placing his forehead on the ground. “I ask on the behalf of my guardsmen and myself for your forgiveness, oh mighty king. We only wished to protect you and your bloodline. Please understand, we did this for you. May I speak freely?”“Yeah, I want
The Pure-Hearted Princess and the Kiss of Darkness 30. My Opinion
~ DELSANRA ~Liam… is not entirely wrong. I sigh softly, knowing Rayhan would definitely be angry. Alejandro has a soft spot for Raihana, but Rayhan will be harsher. He has a temper and there are certain things he will not tolerate. Plus, Liam is his best friend, and he always respects his views.I sit down, running my fingers through my hair. It’s been an hour since I spoke to Liam and I saw Raihana. She was quieter when we were in Kataleya’s hospital room. I’m currently in the hospital lounge, taking a moment.I know Ri, and I know she would never use her powers with the wrong intentions. Everything she does is to help others. If she wanted, she could have asked to see Chris a thousand times. She could have asked for me to help her go to the veil even, but she has never done that.I’ve seen the woman she has become, and even without her mate by her side, she is there for Heaven and Tatum. Even when I know it is hard for her, she smiles at them and makes sure she doesn’t become like h

~ ENRIQUE ~It’s a while later, and the annoying Solaris King has not left my side. It’s been thirty minutes since the jet asked for clearance to land. I’m waiting for Elena or anyone to tell me that the Queen Luna has succeeded. It’s taken too long… it shouldn’t take this long.How will I even face her when I was the one who hurt her daughter?“Where are we headed?” Royce asks.I cock a brow. “Who said we are headed anywhere? I’m headed somewhere. Alone.” I correct him.He smirks. “I’ve decided to come with you,” he states.I scoff. “Isn’t your woman’s mother here? You should go show some respect and visit her,” I say sarcastically.“Yeah? She’s also your woman’s mother, remember? And you’re the alpha of this pack, so really you should go visit the hospital to welcome her. Not to mention it’s Kataleya, your woman, who is in the hospital.”“Yeah, because of me. Remember?”“Not you, you weren’t yourself. That thing had taken you over,” he says quietly.Yeah, I heard… but no matter what

~ ENRIQUE ~When we reach the hospital, everyone is there; Liam, Ahren, two other men I’m certain I saw with Leo Rossi at the summit, including Marie, Carlos, the two alphas who flew in, and a few others, like this is a fucking party.And I’m not about to go in there with them all standing around. So, I headed to the packhouse and showered first. Ordering the kitchen staff to serve food for the guests and the house staff to have accommodations in place for the new guests. I then return to the hospital, dressed in a pair of grey sweats and a white T-shirt.“Accommodations are prepared for the additional guests at the packhouse. And the guests who stayed at the Villa, you have also been relocated to the packhouse as Hugo is missing, and I’m not sure how safe the Villa is,” I say clearly. “Food has been prepared, so you should all head there. I’ll stay with Kataleya for the night.”My eyes flicking across the group, daring even one of them to defy me.“We are hungry,” Savio, the dumb dat

~ KATALEYA ~“You are my fucking life, Mi Amor, so please wake up so I can breathe again.”The whisper of the man I love with every particle of my body and soul. Enrique needs me. I fight through the haze that has been lifting steadily, grappling to wake up.I feel a teardrop on my cheek, one that feels like a drop of refreshing coolness in this place. And just like a pleasant breeze, the fog is pushed away. I open my eyes, seeing him turn his head away.Kiké…I reach up with one hand; the pain is pretty much gone, but I feel so exhausted.I gently touch his cheek. He tenses, turning back sharply to me, his heart racing, his eyes full of raw emotion.“Enrique…” I whisper.“You’re awake. Fuck, you’re awake.”He slides off the bed and drops to his knees beside the bed, cupping my head as he kisses my cheeks and forehead before pulling me into his chest.“I’m ok,” I say softly, unable to stop my own tears as I clutch onto his shirt. Reaching up, I cup his face. “Are you?”“Now I am,” he r
