KIARA
No matter how many people . congratulated me solemnly on the birth o f our son , it was still a heart – breaking time for everyone . My only contentment was that my baby had been born healthy .
Serena had told Mom and Dad that I had the baby and Mom was determined to come , although she only had Azura the day before . I had told her not to , but she refused . We still had not told them about Alejandro . Just the thought caused another wave of pain to envelope me .
I wanted to die , to break down , to let everything out , but I couldn’t because I had my little angel , the only physical remnant of Alejandro and my love . I never understood what it meant when they said a mother’s love is unconditional , but now I understand it means that no matter how much pain we were in , we’d keep going for our children . For our son , I would keep going . I looked down at him as I fed him . He was a hungry little thing .
His suckling was strong , his little hand holding on to my breast as he drank hungrily . In the glow o f the hospital lamps , I could see that his every feature would look a lot like his father .
This was such a beautiful moment and I tried to smile , not wanting to let him sense my emotions , but how much of this pain could I hide ? When I was mourning for half of my soul ?
My chest constricted painfully and he paused , his large red eyes looking up at me curiously . I bent down , kissing his cheek tenderly , fighting back a sob . For my baby , I had to stay strong …
I tried to focus on my little prince but I couldn’t stop the tears that streamed down my cheeks , as I found myself drawn into memories of my king who was taken from me . ” I thought I said those belong to me and I really don’t like to share what’s mine . ” 11 My heart skipped a beat as I gasped , my head snapping up to see the killer , handsome , tall , muscular man walking towards me .
His trousers hung low on his hips , displaying his god – like body , showing off the light sprinkle of hair disappearing into his pants . My eyes ran u p his chiselled abs , the mark that I had adorned him with … I couldn’t breathe , nor could I think properly . Was he really here ?
I looked up , my heart thundering like a thousand wild horses in my ears as our eyes met .
I gasped when I felt the sizzling current of the mate bond snap back into place . The emptiness that had consumed me seconds ago was gone , replaced by such emotion and power that I felt my eyes sting with the surge of the overwhelming emotions that were now drowning me . I felt the surge of the pack link bind us together and knew that everyone had felt the return of their king .
My king . I didn’t know how it was possible , but this was happening , because no dream could smell so divine , no dream could fill the hole inside of me . A He fell to his knees by the bed , cupping m y face before his lips crashed against mine , fuelled by emotions that even a thousand words could never express .
Delicious sparks electrified me and I whimpered against his lips at the wave of emotion , love and passion , he held for me swirled around me . Holding nothing back as he kissed me like I was his lifeline , because he sure was mine .
My tears trickled down my cheeks as I held his wrists , kissing him back with everything I had . The desire that had died completely within me was lit ablaze as m y core throbbed with an ache that burned for him and him alone .
I didn’t know how , but he had returned to me . He had come home . His delicious scent , the way he kissed me , so dominantly , so possessively , so lovingly He was mine and he was here . *** An angry cry made us both pause for a moment , before Alejandro kissed me tenderly and we slowly broke apart .
I could hear his thundering heart , his eyes filling with guilt , but he still didn’t look a t our son . His gaze held mine , the pads of his thumbs brushing my tears away . ” I said to you , I’d be by your side every fucking step of the way … But I wasn’t . ” H e said hoarsely.
” You’re here now , ” I whispered , ” I ** missed you . ” He didn’t reply , the storm of emotions threatening to consume him and another angry cry made him slowly look down , I watched them , my heart tightening with s o many emotions .
I could sense the awe , love and uncertainty as he stared at our pup , who was staring back at him curiously . ” He’s … ” Our baby cried before he turned looking for milk again , I latched him on as Alejandro slowly reached out and caressed his cheek so gently with the back of his finger ..
” He won’t break . ” I whispered . ” He sure as hell won’t … The little fucker i s already exuding power … ” I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry at his choice of words for our son . The realisation that he was here , living , breathing , alive … ” Have you seen his eyes ?
” I asked softly , smiling slightly in amusement .
I removed him from my breast much to his annoyance and turned him to Alejandro . ” That’s kinda strange … But he’s fucking perfect . ” Alejandro said , the corner of his mouth twitching into that rare , sexy half smile of his that was a blessing to ever witness . It melted me completely .
” He looks like you . ” I replied softly . He looked up at me , the sadness in his eyes so clear , so raw … ” I don’t think I can ever make up for all the pain I have caused you . ” He whispered . ” You can , because you’re here for the rest of my life .
” I caressed his jaw , the amount of happiness that I was feeling could never b e explained . He didn’t reply , wrapping his arms around my waist , his head resting against my hip and our baby’s feet , not caring that he was being kicked in the head by our little pup who I could tell was going to be a handful .
I wrapped my free arm around Alejandro’s shoulder , caressing his hair . I couldn’t wipe the smile from my face and I didn’t want to .
This was the happiness I wanted . We remained like that until our baby fell asleep . ” Alejandro . ” I whispered . He looked up at me before moving back . ” Sorry . ” I tilted my head , ” Stop apologising . ” I said , lifting our baby to my shoulder to burp him .
Alejandro got up from the floor and sat o n the bed facing me , his eyes dipping to m y breast that was partially uncovered . ” I’m still not happy that he gets to enjoy those . ” He frowned possessively . I couldn’t stop the giggle that escaped my lips . A fresh wave of happy tears threatened to fall . ” Al , they are his source of food .
” I laughed weakly . I was blushing when Alejandro reached over , brushing his finger over my swollen nipple . I felt myself throb , my core clenching and I knew he would be able to smell my arousal . ” Still my playthings … guess I can’t complain when you’re my favourite dessert too .
” He smirked arrogantly , his gaze dipping between my thighs . ” You smell so fucking good . ” He leaned over kissing my neck softly , right over his mark , making me shiver in pleasure , his fingers brushing between m y thighs . ” Only yours .
