ALEJANDRO I had spent the night running, hunting and even working out. I don’t know why but I couldn't face coming back. I had never been so thrown off after sex, all I could think about was how I felt when I fucked her. I wanted to taste her again, to feel her against me once more. To taste those lips of hers and to actually eat her out… Yeah, that was something I never did… I’d take the favour willingly but I wasn’t one to return it. Not until it came to her. Kiara Westwood. Just her name was fucking making me throb. Fuck it. I finally headed back home when the sun had risen. I stopped in my tracks when I saw her standing there dressed in tiny white shorts that showed off her thigh tattoo and her sexy legs, with a green top that only made her eyes look greener. She looked directly at me. Her heart was racing and I had no fucking idea what she was expecting from me. I didn’t know what I wanted either so I just walked past her, feeling something tighten in my

KIARA I knocked the door to Valentin’s apartment and it was opened quite soon by a young woman, who was heavily pregnant. Instantly I realised why Callum had said it wouldn’t be ideal… "Can I help you?" She asked. I could tell instantly she was stressed, tired and distraught. I could also see she had been mated into this pack because she lacked the muscles of the females of this pack. "I’m just someone from the hospital, I just-" "No! Selene no!" My eyes widened in surprise, realising what she was assuming. "No no! He’s fine! I mean, he’s still healing but his bloods are looking better than yesterday." I said quickly, placing my hands on her shoulders and gently giving them a squeeze. "Oh… But there’s not much hope for him is there?" She whispered. I gave her a small smile. "There is always hope. I came here for something actually." I said gently. "Sorry I didn’t get your name." She said.

KIARA I froze and I felt Alejandro stiffen. I pulled away as if his touch burnt. "Slut." Jasmin’s quiet voice came. ‘Slut’ Alejandro had called me the same. If I knew… An excruciating pain pressed against my chest, suffocating me. I felt like I was being forced underwater. I couldn’t breathe. I turned and rushed to the door. The strip of light was the only thing guiding me, I stumbled as my hands desperately felt around for the door handle. When I sensed another presence and Raven’s scent filled my nose, then the door was pulled open by her. I stepped out and rushed for the stairs. "Kia…" She whispered but I couldn't look at her as I ran up the stairs and straight to my room. I was about to lock the door when she slipped inside just before I could slam it and locked it for me, pulling me straight into her arms just as I broke down. "I didn’t know." I whispered as she lowered us to the ground. "Oh, he is such a fucking b

KIARA Shouting. It’s all I could hear, then the clean smell of a hospital hit me… I frowned, Goddess why were they so loud? "I want to know what happened?!" Greg’s growl came. "Calm down sir, you must understand, she only overexerted herself." Doctor Callum’s voice. "I don’t care, I’m calling Alpha Elijah!" Greg snapped. "Don’t! Please… I think Kiara will wake up soon." Raven’s voice came. Thank the Goddess for her! I mean, I didn’t want Dad to come! I forced my eyes open and looked up at the ceiling. Yeah, I was right, this was a hospital room. "Guys shut up." I groaned. They fell silent and I realised there were more than just the three in the room, Serena and Raihana were also here. They all looked at me and I stared back. Was I naked? I looked down. Nope, all covered. "Something on my face?" I asked sitting up. "More like what's in your hands." Raven said, smirking. I raised an eyebrow, looki

KIARA The next day, I awoke with a spring in my step. The only downside was that I had a dream that Alejandro had kissed me. The thing was, it had made my entire body ignite with a need that I was so desperately trying to ignore. It wasn’t like he would have come to visit me; he was engaged to Jasmin. In my half-asleep state, I had even imagined his scent. I really needed to sort myself out and I had a plan! This hospital would be my escape. I borrowed a phone before texting Raven to have some clothes and my phone dropped off to me. I was then relieved when a nurse came in with some food, I was ravenous. After missing dinner last night, I didn’t even realise how hungry I really was. Raven came soon enough and dumped my bag on the bed. "Ok, I'm off to shower!" I said, sliding off the bed. "Ok whoa! No! I need to talk to you. We need to talk." She grumbled. "Can I go shower first? Then we can talk. Promise." She sighed an
