KIARA Mom, Dad and Azura had left just after food, whilst Kataleya had been very quiet. When Azura had said the boy was annoying, she asked if Azura had visited. She became upset but said nothing. She had silently gone and sat with Ahren and Tatum, but refused to play with Skyla or Azura. Kataleya was a sweet girl who could be just as stubborn as Mom when she wanted to be. Alejandro hadn't said anything when he found out I took Enrique out, I just hoped it was because he realised that he needed some space to breathe and that he was, after all, just a child. I had just gotten changed for the evening in a satin strapless black dress, paired with red heels, nails and lips. It was hard to dress up and act like everything was ok when it wasn’t. Delsanra and Dante were still suffering. That monster was still out there. I ran the straightener through my hair, straightening my hair until it fell sleekly over my shoulder. Once I had finished, I tied it up in a high pony and pinned it into p

ALEJANDRO Kiara wiped herself clean with some wipes and I splashed my face with water before we both headed downstairs. She cast me a warm smile before she hurried to the door and pulled it open. Julio gave us a nod, and I didn’t miss his gaze flickering to Kiara’s neck, one that still contained a few marks. I’m sure we both still smelt of her arousal and a flare of possessiveness shot through me. I gave him a cold glare and he looked away, looking slightly embarrassed as he realised I was fucking shirtless too. Fucker. If he didn’t have a mate, I’d have fucking ripped him apart, but I know he was just a nosy dickhead. "Hey Enrique, I'm sorry if we disturbed you from sleep." Kiara’s voice brought me back to reality and I dismissed Julio with a jerk of my head. He gave a nod and placed the bag he was carrying down before taking his leave. "I wasn’t sleeping, Queen Luna." He replied. I cocked a brow, so he called her Queen and called me Lycan. I hid a smirk. The fucker had gall,

ALEJANDRO Raihana hadn't been expecting that, she had paled and asked me not to tell anyone, that this wasn’t the time for such news. I get where the fuck she was coming from and agreed. But it put the decision down in fucking stone, I was not risking her in any fucking way. She was totally out of the picture, although I knew she wouldn’t just sit back, she had helped enough. Fuck, we needed answers and fast… “Take care on the way back.” Maria was saying, kissing the little fucker, Tatum. Had to admit that pup was cute. I went over, taking him from her. “Of course, Mom, we are going by teleportation.” Raihana replied, kissing Chris before she pulled away. Tatum looked up at me with his large green eyes and I narrowed my eyes. I swear these little devils were embedded with some sort of power or shit, something told me that if any of these pups asked for something I’d fucking give it to them. Na, can’t let that shit happen… He reached up, giving me a smile. Fuck it, I’d give him

ALEJANDRO Crushing, agonising pain, that’s how it fucking felt. I hated to admit it but I felt like I couldn’t breathe. She was my fucking world, but she had forgotten me… Deep down I had hoped she wouldn’t forget me, but she had. Fuck she had. From the corner of my eyes, I could see the way she was hugging herself, her eyes watching me warily. Had she forgotten my touch? Nine years… Nine years of being together and she had forgotten it all. The anger and hatred I felt for this so-called fucking crimson king and his Djinn was growing. I was ready to pay the price to kill them both as long as it didn’t affect my queen. She stood by the window now, her heart racing, my shirt draping off her shoulder. Amore Mio… Focus Alejandro. I was trying, fucking trying to keep myself in control but the urge to go on a fucking rampage was growing. “You’re bleeding.” She said softly making me snap out of my thoughts. I looked down realising blood was spilling onto the floor where I had dug my

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
