KIARA
It was the following day . Alejandro seemed a bit restless throughout the night , I could feel his turmoiled emotions as he slept and I wondered what was bothering him . I didn’t ask , hoping he’d tell me himself .
Mom and Dad were going to get here by noon and I was a nervous wreck . We were going to tell them about the pregnancy before the mating ceremony and I had no idea what Dad would think . He’d surely realise we had slept together before we knew we were mates …
I pulled on a deep purple peplum top and paired it with some wet – look leggings . I slipped on some low – heeled boots , just a s Alejandro entered , a deep frown on his face . He had left to see Callum in a hurry before . ” Are you ok ? ” I asked , looking at him in his fitted black T – shirt and dark grey jeans . Admiring his muscles that rippled a s he ran his fingers through his hair that was slicked back like usual .
He looked at me , his eyes running over me appreciatively . His eyes darkened before they met mine and he closed the gap between us . Cupping my face and leaning down , he kissed me . I gasped at the sudden move . His tongue slipped into my mouth as he pulled me against him hard , deepening the kiss .
I moaned against his lips , my core throbbing . Oh , goddess … He moved us to the bed and sat down , pulling me onto his lap , our lips never leaving each other . I could sense him calming down , or rather getting excited in another way …
I pushed him back on the bed and looked into his eyes , breathing hard . ” What is it ? ” I asked softly . He stroked my ass and thighs , his cold dark eyes staring into mine . ” Jasmin . ” I tensed hearing those words , he sighed , sitting up . ” She’s … ” A thousand thoughts went through me .
Was she the reason he was so restless ? Did he feel something ? No , I couldn’t believe that . He kissed my neck , inhaling my scent deeply . ” Callum confirmed it , against your blood . She’s Zidane’s daughter , Kiara . ” He said quietly .
I froze , my heart thumping . That was why Callum asked for a blood sample …. ” So , what are you saying … She’s my aunty ? ” I asked , disgusted . Alejandro slept with my apparent aunt … and I slept with his nephew … Wow , we were crazy .
Although he had no idea at the time , it was still crazy . ” So why are you so restless about that ? ” I asked , pushing the random thought away . ” She’s working with Endora . She slipped u p yesterday by mentioning her name in m y office , I went and asked Marcel who they were discussing back in the caverns … He said Zidane’s daughter . Endora fucking planted her to begin with …
She wanted me to take her as a mate , so I’d have a child with someone from the Asheton bloodline … His rough voice was ice cold . My heart was racing as it all hit me hard . How long had Endora been playing this game ? How could she use her own children as pawns ?
My anger towards Jasmin only grew as well . ” So why are you worried ? ” I asked . ” Because … I want to fucking rip her to shreds . ” He said , the look in his eyes so cold that I felt my stomach twist , my heart pounding at the pure rage and anger I saw within them .
” But then a part of me i s saying to let your mother have the final verdict . I don’t trust her , and I fucking want to torture her until I extract every fucking piece of information from her . ” ” I nodded , cupping his face as I pressed my forehead to him .
I knew he was using all his self – control right now . ” Question her … If you want to let Darien o r someone else handle it then do . When Mom comes , if you want her to make the final decision , that’s your choice … It’s not your fault you never saw past her … ” I said quietly .
Realising that he must be beating himself up over the fact that he had fallen into Endora’s trap . Our eyes met and he simply frowned . ” How the fuck do you do that ? ” He asked , his eyes dipping to my neck , and I saw them flash red .
” Know what you’re feeling or what’s troubling you ? ” I asked , trying not to get lost in his scent . My wolf purred as he throbbed against me . She sure had been happier since we had gotten together . ” Both . ” He said . ” I’d like to say because I’m made for you ?
But in all honesty , it’s partially my ability to sense one’s emotion . ” I said , running m y fingers through his hair , playing with the longer section on top . ” Once we mark each other … We’re going t To be connected even more … Which means you’d get into my fucking head …
” ” Have something to hide , Alpha ? ” I purred , brushing his hair back , before kissing him . Pleasure rushed through me a s he kissed me back . ” Nothing to hide , but I’d rather you not see my dark side … ” ” I can handle everything about you … ” I whispered . “
You sure fucking can . ” He replied huskily . He flipped me onto the bed . His necklaces brushed my chest as he claimed my lips in a rough kiss whilst he straddled me . His hands pinning my wrists to the bed sent rivets of sparks through me .
I moaned against him just as I heard footsteps . Alejandro growled , getting off me as he had left the door open . A smiling Rafael appeared at the door as I sat up blushing . ” You should at least shut the door …. ” He said , smirking when he glanced at his brother
. I glanced sideways , blushing when I saw -his hardened shaft in his pants . Kill me now … Rafael burst out laughing . ” This is a first brother … ” He snickered . ” What’s a fucking first ? ” ” Well for one being so smitten …
I like it . Well , I would say carry on … but Elijah and Scarlett are on their way . They will be here within the hour for sure . ” He grinned . ” A fucking hour ? And you came all the fucking way up here to tell us that ? ” Alejandro growled .
” Yep . ” Rafael said with a cheeky grin . ” Dad and Mom … ” I said . I guess it was time we told them … Fifteen minutes after Mom , Dad and Raven had arrived , and I had finished gushing with Raven , we had finally all taken a seat . It was just the six of us .
” I’m glad you two have worked things out . ” Mom said , watching as Alejandro ran his fingers through my hair . Dad watched us sharply , ” Still hard to believe . ” He remarked . But I could tell he was happy for me . Alejandro smirked , now looking at me , ” I’m sure there’s a lot that you’d find way fucking more unbelievable .
” He said , wrapping his arm around my neck , before kissing me full on . I gasped , kissing him back , feeling my cheeks burn . I could sense Dad’s anger , but I felt too lightheaded to care . I heard Rafael chuckle . ” Easy there , Elijah …. ” He said lightly .
” Oh my goddess ! ” Raven said , and I saw her camera flash go off . I pushed Alejandro back . He smirked mockingly , clearly almused by Dad’s irritation . ” There’s a few things we need to discuss , s o tell me , want to hear the good or the bad first ?
” Alejandro said , looking at Dad . ” I would say let’s get the bad over with . ” Dad replied with a frown . ” I want to know the good , ” Raven said . ” But you two are marking each other tonight . In front of everyone . That’s going to be so hot …
” Oh , baby girl , What … how ? How do you know so soon ? Wait , is this from … ? ” ” Yeah … ” I whispered , blushing lightly . ” Are you happy ? ” Mom asked , her excitement calming down as she looked at me worriedly . I nodded and she cupped my face , kissing my forehead . –
” Then I’m happy . The baby wasn’t the reason you two worked things out , was it ? ” She asked , slight worry filling her . I shook my head firmly . No , it definitely was not . ” Perfect … ” Mom said .
She turned to Alejandro , about to reach for his face , when he simply raised an eyebrow , and Mom quickly let her hands drop before smiling at both of us . I almost laughed at their exchange . Although he was my mate , he was closer t o Mom in age .
Raven let out a whistle as Mom turned to Dad , who was sitting there , shocked . ” Oh , my goddess … mother of the moon … Lycan seedlings work without being marked ! Oh wow , Kia’s been pregnant all this time ! ” Raven mumbled before she sprang up and rushed over to hug me , ” M y baby nephew or niece is here . You are going to look so cute with a pregnant belly ! Oh my god , I can’t wait to go shopping for the baby !
” ” I know … ” I said , smiling at her , glad she was here for when we broke the news to Mom and Dad . I rested my cheek against -hers , I truly missed not having her around . ” Elijah … ” ” Rafael said as all eyes now turned to Dad , whose dark cobalt eyes were burning straight into Alejandro’s . ” I want to speak to him alone . ” He growled murderously .
” Dad … ” ” Not . Now . ” He said . ” Elijah …. ” ” Scarlett . I said , not now . I was about to speak when Alejandro ran his hand up my thigh . ” I can handle him , go . ” He said with a cold smirk on his face . I frowned , looking between them .
” No. I’m not going anywhere . ” I growled . ” Dad , whatever you want to say , you can say it in front of me . ” ” Fine . I sent you here , thinking you’d be safe , not for him to have taken advantage of you . ” Dad growled . ” Umm … Uncle , not wanting to butt in , but the attraction was a two – way thing …
You ” can’t pin it on Alpha Al only … ” Raven added defensively . ” So , you knew ? ” His eyes flashed , as he glared at her . She looked away but frowned . ” I’m an adult and if I was attracted to my mate … that’s not a problem . Even if he wasn’t my mate … Dau , please for me . Just please …
” Kiara … go . I can handle your dad . ‘ Alejandro said , taking hold of my chin as h e rubbed his thumb over my lips . The urge to take it in my mouth tempted me , but I refrained from doing so . I stood up and Mom put her arm around me . ” I’ll stay . ” Rafael stated . Dad glared at him ,
but he refused to move . ” Why do women get kicked out ? ” Raven muttered unhappily .
” Mom shrugged.Ⓡ ” Men are sexist pigs . ” I sighed , as I closed the door behind me . M y heart was pounding , I knew what Dad meant , but he had to realise that we both wanted each other that night .
Heck I wanted him since the first day I saw him . He consumed me … I also knew Alejandro wouldn’t take shit from anyone … in a way , I was glad that Rafael was there to stop them from tearing each other to pieces .
I wrapped my arms around myself , Mom placed her arm around me once again . ” Don’t worry they’ll be she was cut off when a deep, menacing growl shook the entire foundation of the mansion.
