UNKNOWN I frowned, watching my father pace the room in anger, as I stood against the wall; chin up, shoulders back, hands crossed behind my back, ready and paying attention to whatever he might say. He took his jacket and gloves off, revealing his burnt skin. The side of his face was burned too, but it wasn’t as bad as the rest of his body. People found him quite scary with his skin all raw and burnt. The burns didn’t look normal either, they had an angry red shade to them despite them being there since before I was even born. But father was still the best, the strongest and the most powerful. "I asked you, men, to bring me the boy." Father hissed, staring at the four men who looked almost identical to each other, with their flaming red hair and pale orangey eyes. Power exuded from them, but it didn’t match father's, nowhere close. "Alpha… we tried, but he wasn’t making it easy, the boy or this girl-" "Did I ask you to talk back hijo de p**a?!

KIARA When the first rays of dawn began to appear, that instinct that I had been following through the night, suddenly vanished. My wolf fell silent and I suddenly felt all alone. I was exhausted from the running as well. Should I stop and take a small break? Maybe it was better if I did, but I wont be for long, Kataleya was out there and I needed to find her. I wondered if Alejandro found out that I had left already… I'm sure he probably tried calling at some point… I shifted and dropped to my knees in exhaustion. I opened my bag, pulling out some sweatpants and a crop top, putting them on quickly before sitting back, feeling the pain in my legs and arms. Goddess… Kataleya. I hope she was ok, wherever she was… I would never be able to forgive myself if something happened to her. Please let her be safe… I stared at the sky, my heart clenching with worry as I tried to compose myself. The distant whimper of my wolf in my head told me she

ALEJANDRO I was waiting for Kiara to show up when I heard my phone beep and knew it was her by the notification tone. I looked down at my phone, frowning when I clicked on the message. Reading her message, I opened the map, zooming in on her shared location. I texted her quickly, waiting for her reply before I mind linked the others. I needed to get to her location now. ‘Get everyone close enough to the location I'm forwarding now, head here and wait for my arrival.’ I forwarded the message before shifting and running off towards the location. I hadn't gotten far, when pain wrapped around me and I gripped my throat. My eyes blazing red as my aura raged around me. Kiara was hurt! ‘Kiara’s in danger! Eight miles northeast of Oxford! Move!’ I growled through the link. Hold on, Amore Mio… I'm coming. I had a fucking thousand questions running through my mind? The pain in my body lingered, meaning she was inj

ALEJANDRO We returned to the mansion and entered the living room. I looked around at all the kids playing. The three girls were sitting on the carpet, with Kataleya in the centre. I could tell by the way that the girls were fawning over her that she was being taken good care of by them. Goddess, even these fucking pups knew when something wasn't right. I sat down next to Dante, running my fingers through his hair and ruffling it up. "So not getting fucking bored, are you?" "Nope. Besides, I get to watch TV and there’s so many episodes I've been wanting to catch up on, so why not do that now? I haven’t got anything better to do anyway. No schoolwork, no training, just chilling." He gave me a grin, but I could tell from his eyes that he wasn't ok, for me he was fucking trying. This was what I had done. Now my fucking pup who was only eight years old had to pretend that things were ok when they fucking weren’t. "Yeah. Make the most of it for now, because once you're better, you'll b

KIARA“Kataleya!” I jolted upright looking around in the darkness, panic and fear consuming me.Was she ok? Did she get out safe? Where-Sparks tingled through me when an arm wrapped around me.“She’s safe.” Alejandro’s soothing voice made my eyes shut in relief. “We’re back home, Amore Mio.”I let out a shuddering breath of relief, slumping against his chest, my heart pounding rapidly as I clutched onto his arm.Thank the goddess for that… I needed to see her. I looked around, wondering what time it was, it was still dark which meant it was still the middle of the night.Alejandro rubbed my back soothingly and I turned in his hold, feeling so protected in his strong arms. I kissed his chest softly, my lips brushing one of his pierced nipples making his heart rate spike, I looked up at him.“I'm glad you got there in time.” I whispered, gazing into his glowing red eyes. In this dark room, it was all I could see.“You fucking scared me, Amore Mio.” His husky voice came.“I know…”I rea
