KIARA
Teasing Alejandro was so much fun , I knew if he hadn’t set that rule for himself , I would be the one on the losing side . I had to admit , him trying … meant a lot . I just wished there was something I could do to make it up to him …
I know he didn’t expect anything from me , but why was he the one only trying to go out his way for m e … ? And the way he asked me out … Oh Goddess , I wanted to spread my legs and beg for him to fuck me right then . But instead , I chased him away …
I pouted , remembering how he had been fighting himself . I had sensed his emotions … I smiled softly as I entered the bathroom to shower . It was gorgeous , with a huge corner tub , a huge shower that was large enough for six with a full overhead shower .
I could get used to this … There was so much more to him than what he acted like . It broke my heart knowing how hard his life had been … I would make sure he didn’t miss out on anything from here on out . I played with the necklace around my neck , I hadn’t removed it and didnt intend to .
Not with Endora out there … I stripped out of the rest of my clothes and got into the shower , wondering what time we were going to go shopping … After showering , I got dressed , realising that all my stuff had been brought into Alejandro’s room .
It seemed everyone here knew we were together … I picked out some denim shorts , a lemon – yellow vest top and a white cardigan to go over it . I blushed lightly , thinking I should at least tell Mom and Dad that we worked things out .
Sitting on the bed , I unzipped my make – up pouch just to put on a few essentials . I set my phone up on the bed and video – called Mom’s phone . I brushed my hair as I waited for her to answer . Soon enough , she and Dad appeared .
I shook my head , noticing they both had just freshly showered ; which meant they had clearly been up to their usual morning shenanigans . ” Dad … Don’t you have training or anything to do ? ” I asked .
” Don’t worry , I’m teaching Liam so he’s prepared for when he takes over in a few years . It’s still earlyHe replied with a smirk , kissing Mom’s shoulders . I raised an eyebrow , noticing the marks around Dad’s neck .
I knew the only reason Mom wasn’t littered with marks was because she was fast to self – heal .. ” How’s Aunty ? ” I asked . ” She’s … not good . She felt it when Fred died … She’s angry , mainly with Alejandro . ” Mom said , sighing .
I looked down , he had only tried to help her . ” Oh . ” I said . ” I heard you both had a run – in with Endora . Who happens to be Raf’s mom ….. How are you ? ” Dad asked , I saw his eyes looking at the room behind me and frowned .
“ That’s not the room you were i in when I was there . ” ” Yeah … this is Alejandro’s room . ” I said , feeling my cheeks burn . Mom smiled slightly , as Dad frowned . ” At my age , you and Mom were you know … already at it like …. Never mind , I’ll be nice .
Besides , we haven’t done anything in this room Dad ! ” I said , thinking maybe i t was better if Alejandro broke the news … And I should have added yet … I intended t o make memories here … ” I didn’t ask . ” Dad growled . ” You’re not marked either … ” ” About that , we’re holding the marking ceremony tomorrow evening … ” I said , as I applied some mascara , looking into my small mirror . ” Are you happy ? ” Dad asked .
I nodded , smiling and he gave me a small smile . ” That’s the main thing . ” Wow , that’s great ! So , he’s going to make you his publicly ?! ” Mom asked approvingly .
” Well yeah , he said he wants me to take that position up and be recognised as his Queen before Endora returns … ” ” 1 My stomach sank after saying those words . My heart thudded suddenly , I dropped my mascara on the bed as my eyes filled with tears . A strong wave of sadness drowning me , what was this ? ” Kiara ?! ” Mom said , worried .
For a moment , I couldn’t speak . Feeling m y powers surge , my wolf howled and I felt suffocated . Emptiness , sorrow and sadness wrapped around me painfully . ” Angel ! Kia … ” Dad’s voice came in the distance .
I blinked as I looked around , realising where I was and took a deep , shuddering breath . I shook my head , wiping my eyes carefully . ” I’m fine … ” I said , taking a make – up wipe and wiping under my eyes . ” I just … suddenly felt sad …
” ” He’ll be fine , he’s the strongest man I know , don’t worry . He won’t be facing Endora alone . ” Dad said quietly . I nodded . Was that what this was ? The fear that something would happen to Alejandro ?
” Are you sure you’re ok , Kia ? ” Mom asked softly . ” Yeah , I’m just … worried for him . ” I said , my heart aching . ” I’ll be there too . Your mom and Liam will stay here and I will be facing Endora with you . I won’t let anything happen to him .
” Dad said firmly . I saw the pain and fear in Mom’s eyes and I realised that inevitably many would lose their mates … That in itself terrified me . I nodded and forced a smile . ” Will you both come for the marking ceremony ?
“ I asked , trying to push the upcoming darkness out of my mind . ” Definitely . ” Mom said . ” Can you ask Raven’s dad if she could come too ? ” I asked . ” I will try . ” Mom said . ” That man is grumpy . ” Dad added . Mom smirked , ” Well he’s just not one with much patience and he’s very old school . ” ” With a daughter like Raven , ” Dad added . I smiled , they weren’t wrong . ” Well please ask at least . ” I pleaded . ” We will . ” Mom said . ” Well , I better go , see you guys tomorrow … I’m going shopping . “
” Isn’t it dangerous ? Dad frowned . ” With Alejandro dad , don’t worry … Also , i s it possible you could bring all my stuff from my room ? ” I asked , looking at Mom . She nodded , a wave of sadness crossing her eyes .
” My girls all grown up and leaving home for good . ” She said , looking a little upset . ” I’ll come to visit . ” I said softly .. Mom nodded but said nothing . I knew that , unlike me , she hated crying and showing when she was sad .
I bid them farewell before I finished getting ready , Almost two hours later , Alejandro and I were in his car . Luckily , he had invited Serena along to shop as he said he was not going to be going dress shopping , he was only there as my guard . Serena had also brought her thirteen – year – old daughter Tia along . They were in another car along with two other guards . Alejandro held out a platinum card .
” The pin is 8942. Buy whatever the fuck you want , and I’d advise you get plenty of lingerie because I will be tearing those off you on a daily basis . ” He said arrogantly , a s he took a puff on his cigarette . ” I have my card … ” I said .
” I don’t give a fuck if you do or not . You’re mine , I’m going to pay for whatever you need . ” He said firmly . ” Fine … ” I said , taking it . My fingers brushed his , and he leaned over , claiming my lips in a rough , passionate kiss . ” Thank you .
” I said when we broke apart , my heart going wild . ” What the fuck for ? ” He asked , kissing m y neck softly . ” For everything . ” I said , before we both got out , seeing Serena standing there with an excited young girl who was watching me
. ” Oh wow , she is beautiful ! ” She said in a loud whisper . ” Hi Tia … ” I said with a smile . ” I’m Kiara . You can call me Kia . ” ” Oo Tia and Kia ! ” She exclaimed , then looked at Alejandro .
” Alpha Al . ” She said , lowering her head slightly . ” You’ve fucking grown . What have you been eating ? ” Alejandro asked , ruffling her hair despite the frown on his face . ” Grandma’s special dishes . ” She said , before we all trooped inside .
