ALEJANDRO
” Ok before- ” 1 ” Stay out of it . ” Elijah growled at Rafael , cutting him off . I stood up , smoking my cigarette as Elijah stood up , pure anger burning within his eyes . I smirked coldly . ” What’s wrong ? Does it hurt your fucking ego that your daughter’s not a baby anymore ? ” I taunted.co I knew it wasn’t the best way of handling things .
But I wasn’t sorry for that night … I t was the best fucking night I ever had , and I was not going to admit anything otherwise . ” She was here under your fucking care , and you- ” He began ” I fucking took good care of her .
” I added mockingly . That was all I needed to say when he lunged at me with a pure animalistic growl ripping from his throat . I blocked him , my eyes flasheded as his Alpha aura blazed around him . Well , I knew he was fucking strong … I pushed him away , my own aura filling the room like a heavy blanket . ” Watch who the fuck you’re messing with .
” I growled . ” She belongs to me , and I don’t give a fuck what you think . Stop behaving like such a fucking hypocrite about it . She’s eighteen . The attraction was fucking strong and we gave in to it , so fucking what ? ” I was pissed off now .
” Yeah , and after that , you carried on planning your engagement to Jasmin ! ” Elijah thundered , this time he punched m e square across the face . I heard something crack and clenched my fucking jaw .
So , the fucker wasn’t angry that I slept with her … but that I hurt her by tossing her aside … The revelations stuck hard as I saw the pain in his eyes for his daughter . This time I didn’t even block , when his fist struck my jaw .
I deserved it … I did sleep with her and then … pretended it didn’t happen . ” What’s the matter ? Going to play innocent ?! ” He growled , grabbing my collar . I frowned , my red blazing eyes glaring into his dark blue ones . www .
” I’m far from innocent … I know I hurt her I messed up and I fucking paid for it . But I love her , so do whatever the fuck you want , but if I were you , I’d keep my fucking voice down , because she’s pregnant and does not need this fucking shit .
” I growled quietly . His eyes flashed before he let go of me roughly , and I looked at him coldly . ” The only reason I’m letting you off , is because you’re her father … Touch me again and I’ll fucking tear you to shreds .
” I said coldly . ” You hurt her a lot more than I thought … I don’t even know if I should forgive you . ” He spat . ” Don’t forgive me , I don’t fucking need it . But try to at least tolerate me , for her . ” I growled back , equally pissed . ” There’s enough shit going on in our lives to keep her fucking stressed out , at least think of our pup . Your grandchild . ”
He frowned , running his fingers through his hair , before he kicked the sofa in anger , his foot tearing through the leather . Fucker . Rafael had just watched silently .
” You might find this a game … But Kiara is my child , and until you have a daughter , you won’t know how precious they are … A lot of things make sense now … But I can’t believe she was strong enough to handle it … I don’t care if Kiara’s accepted you , until I see it for myself , I won’t believe it . ” Elijah said , now looking at me coldly .
” I have nothing to prove to you . I care for her and her alone . ” I replied coldly . Our eyes met and I fucking didn’t get it . W e had nothing in common apart from our love for Kiara .
The door opened and Kiara stood there , her eyes wide as she looked between the two of us . I saw her gaze flicker to my cheek , I’m sure I was almost fucking healed … I turned my head away , not wanting her to see it .
Her heart thudded and from the corner of my eye , I saw her rush over , stumbling in the process . Both Eliah and I moved in a flash to catch her , I got there first , catching her by the elbows before she stumbled and I pulled her into my arms .
Her scent hit me like a wave of pure bliss , calming my raging emotions . ” I’m sorry . ” She whispered . I had no idea what the fuck she was apologising for , but I simply held her tightly , inhaling her scent .
I didn’t care who the fuck accepted us and who didn’t . She was all that mattered . She wrapped her arms around my waist , hugging me tightly . I heard Elijah sigh but I didn’t bother to look at the fucker .
Kiara moved back , looking at her father , her chest rising and falling in anger . I knew she was about to say something , and I knew she’d regret it later , I clamped my hand over her mouth to stop her .
” We’ve sorted our shit out , you don’t need to say anything . ” I said , giving her a small smirk . I saw Elijah turn sharply , but Kiara only looked at me with her large green eyes with those blue rims filling with tears .
” Lie . ” She whispered . ” Hey … Look , we have . Do you see us fucking crying ? ” I said . She frowned , touching my jaw , which was still slightly sore from the fucking punches .
Her touch sent a cool soothing tingle through me , healing me . ” Why did you hit him , Dad ? ” She asked quietly . Elijah frowned , ” He wasn’t wrong , Amore Mio …
Yeah , I can’t believe I’m saying this shit , but I know she’s daddy’s little girl and I did not want her upset if she wasn’t on good terms with her father . And the fucker wasn’t wrong …
I was in the wrong . ” What he said … I did hurt you , a lot . ” I said quietly . She now frowned , her eyes flashing . ” Dad , here’s a news flash for you . I hurt him too . A lot . I love him . ” The conviction in her voice as she said those words , sent my own fucking heart racing .
Scarlett sighed . ” Ok look … Kia … Raven , go get your stuff ready for tonight … Elijah take a breather … ” She said quietly . Kiara kissed me softly before she walked off reluctantly , looking over her shoulder at me . I just fucking wanted to just pull her close and kiss her all over again .
Her sweet taste lingered on my lips . When the door shut , Scarlett looked at her mate , glaring icily . ” She’s pregnant . She doesn’t need this stress . ” She growled .
” He- ” ” I knew ! ” She said . Elijah frowned , his alpha aura rolling off him . ” Yeah , I got that from the conversation earlier , so you kept it a secret ? ” He said coldly . ” Yes , because this is how you were going t o behave . Elijah …. they love each other , please for Kiara and for me just ….
” She ran her hands through her hair and frowned a t Rafael for help .
I simply shrugged and sat down , lighting another cigarette . I had no idea where the fucker knocked the other one … I scanned the floor , spotting it , and reached out with my foot to snuff it out .
” Elijah , when have you ever seen Alejandro care for anyone the way he does Kiara ? ” Rafael said . ” You know I’m right fucking here ? ” I remarked . ” Yeah , you’re hard to miss .
” Scarlett shot back with a frown , before placing her hands on Elijah’s arms . ” He’s perfect for her baby … There’s no one stronger , more able who could be her mate .
” Elijah looked at me , frowning coldly , before he looked at Scarlett . ” Jasmin shouldn’t be pardoned . If she’s been helping Endora , she should be killed . ” He said . I agree with that . Scarlett sighed and nodded , ” Let’s see how far involved she is …
We all know what Zidane was capable of … Maybe she’s a victim … We can’t jump to conclusions , ” I said nothing . Let’s see if they managed t o get more out of her than I did or Darien .
I felt Elijah’s anger swirling around me , this was surely going to be fun … ” Rafael , you can take them to Jasmin’s apartment , I’m going to see if I can sniff anything out that my men may have missed .
