Thank you for reading.
KIARA Alejandro had said he would put Kataleya to bed and I had agreed. It was strange to explain, but when I saw those children, I didn’t need a DNA test or anything to tell me they were mine, I felt it. Which would also mean the king was my mate, right? That one was a little harder. I could hug children and make them feel better, but a man who looked as dangerous as he did handsome, was an entirely different story. I won’t deny that his every glance made me feel all giddy, but at the same time, I was wary of him. I took a shower before I rummaged in the drawers, the clothes were all my size and this place smelt of me. I sighed, I knew it all pointed to their words being the truth, but it was still odd. Mom had called earlier, and I had ended up talking to her on video call for nearly an hour. She had tried to ease my mind, but the terrifying reality was, that I only had their word to go on. Raven, Liam’s mate and my apparent friend, had called too. It was hard knowing I had forg
ALEJANDRO She had relaxed, I could sense that much as she ate her ice cream, licking her spoon slowly as if savouring every little drop. Her eyelids fluttered shut and I leaned against my bike, tugging her gently by her hips in front of me. Her heart hammered as her eyes flew open, staring down at me. "I won’t bite Amore Mio." I leant up, brushing a strand of her hair aside. Unless, of course, you fucking want me to, then I'm ready to mark every inch of this divine body and make you fucking see stars. She nodded, giving me a small hesitant smile. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on, from her unique blue-green eyes to her plump lips... My fucking goddess… "Is it… does it hurt that I’ve forgotten you?" She asked quietly. She was watching me sharply despite asking that, and I wondered what was going through her mind. I smirked. "I won’t lie, because you can fucking tell if I do, right?" She nodded, and I placed my empty cup down on the bike next to me and care
ENRIQUE "Do it." Dante repeated. "What are you waiting for? Kill me. That’s why you are here, aren’t you? I even left the window open for you." He wasn’t afraid or even alarmed, he was simply watching me calculatingly. How did he know that? "You knew I was going to come?" I asked sharply. How? "This isn’t what I saw though…" He murmured, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes. He closed his eyes and I frowned. Wasn’t he going to shout for help? "Kill me and get it over with. My parents are out as it is. Now is your best chance." He added arrogantly. My anger flared through me as he turned onto his side, his back to me. I raised the piece of glass, but once again the image of the Chica’s face filled my mind. If I kill him… she’ll… Her tear-filled eyes flashed in my head, and I stared at the glass. What the Queen Luna and the Lycan King themselves said… the fact that they didn’t need to keep me here in their home. They didn’t need to treat me nicely, but they did. If the Lycan want
ALEJANDRO Enrique had given us seventeen fucking locations. As much as I was fucking shocked that the fucker knew this shit and we had to wait for him to tell us, I was grateful he told us of his own accord. But I wasn’t happy with his request… Kiara had become silent, and I understood her concern. His words rang in my mind once again, I paused as I looked at my reflection. The conversation replaying in my mind. (FLASHBACK LAST NIGHT) "Fine, what do you want in return, pup?" I asked. "I want you to let me go. I don’t want your help, I don’t want to have anything to do with you. I just want to return to my home." He said emotionlessly. I heard the sharp intake from Kiara. She knew the shit this kid has gone through, we hadn't hidden anything from her, and I know hearing him wanting to go back there... She would always worry about him. "But… Of course, you can go back there, but will you be ok? I mean, do you have family who can take care of you and protect you from your father?"
RAYHAN The tension in the room grew, to the point where it felt suffocating. I know he hated how I handled things years ago, but like I’ve said, I wouldn’t do anything differently. All I can do in return is be patient with him. I hadn't seen him in a while and he looked older, bigger, and bulkier, but the hatred in those eyes of his only seemed to have grown... He held my gaze, and although I didn’t submit, for the sake of peace, I broke our eye contact, turning back to Uncle Al. The rest greeted one another, I gave Marcel a nod before glancing at uncle. "So, Marcel and Liam will go with Mom?" I asked, crossing my arms. "Yes, they will. They’ll be leaving tomorrow morning." Uncle sat forward, his eyes on Kiara, who was standing next to Liam a lot more comfortably than she had been around any of us lately. This entire situation had messed everything up for us all. We just needed to have this all sorted out. It was fucking with me seeing Delsanra in that state… "Now Enrique has gi
KIARA Leo’s eyes seemed to turn even colder as he glanced at the girl in his arms. "Your daughter…" A dangerous smirk crossed his face, making my own heart race. "Come here, Si." Rayhan came down the stairs, walking towards Leo, only for the younger man to step back and hold up a finger warningly. "What’s the rush, scared I’ll hurt her? I guess she is in my hold…" "Leo." Rayhan’s voice was menacing and cold, his eyes flashing green as he glared at his cousin in a clear warning. What was wrong with them? The thick tension in the air was scaring me, what do I do? Suddenly, Leo threw the girl in the air, making me gasp, although it was only a foot in the air it was obvious he was trying to rile Rayhan up. Rayhan lunged to catch her, but Leo pushed him back, catching the girl, who now burst into tears. It hadn't been a high throw, but it was obvious she was terrified and that Leo was taunting Rayhan. ‘Alejandro! We need you at the mansion! Now!’ I called through the link, unsure wh
KATALEYA I ran down the stairs quickly before Mama caught me listening, my tears spilling down my cheeks. Why did Enrique hate me so much? Was it because his papa took his hand off because of me? I clamped my hand over my mouth, rounding the corner as I stifled a sob, only to knock into Daddy and almost fall back. I got to my feet, ready to run away when he caught hold of my arms, kneeling down in front of me. "What’s wrong, princess?" I shook my head, flinging my arms around his neck and sobbing into his arms. He picked me up and I clung to him. I know Dante calls me a baby when Daddy carries me, but I'm sad. "It’s going to be fucking ok." He stroked my hair, and I closed my eyes, inhaling his smell. "Tell me what happened?" Safe. I was safe with Daddy. I slowly moved back, staring at him, I needed to be brave and strong. "Nothing Daddy, I'm a brave girl." I whispered, brushing away my tears with one hand. "My girl is fucking brave. Always remember that." I nodded, playing w
KIARA We had been talking for the last twenty minutes. He had explained everything about Liam to me, and now I felt stupid for even assuming that it wasn’t him. However, the most distracting thing was that he was sitting on the bed with the towel loosely draped over his manhood. It was so distracting, and I was doing my best not to stare. He was a work of art, one covered with so many tattoos that I wanted to trace my finger over every single one. How low did they go… My cheeks flushed and I didn’t miss the smirk on his face, almost as if he knew what I was thinking. He raised one leg slightly, resting his arm on it making my attention instantly go to his muscular thigh. Goddess, this man was made to sin… I scanned the room instead, brushing my fingers through my hair, feeling a little jittery. "Any more questions, Amore Mio?" He asked. I looked into his dark eyes and shook my head, before staring at his chest, where I realised my name was tattooed on his left breast. "When di
