ALEJANDRO
I had just got back from my little escapade . Sometimes I enjoyed dealing with things alone , and as I had predicted , rogues were gathering in clusters . The only problem was they didn’t know who ‘ The King ‘ was , or they just couldn’t tell m e . The moment they even tried to say something , they ended up dying . 2 I had my men follow some leads .
I had left a few survivors , hoping for one of them to meet with someone or other . There were still no solid leads . I had just returned to m y pack grounds when I heard the distant scream of pain . Kiara . My stomach twisted as panic filled me , another emotion that I never experienced . The need to go to her overtook me and I rushed ahead , worry and fear fuelling me . ” Did you hear that scream ? ” I heard one o f the warriors on patrol say to her partner . ” I did , maybe someone training ? Oh , Alpha- ” I didn’t stop as I rushed past them in a blur , trying to sniff her out . What had happened to her ? I tried to push aside the emotions that were eating me up inside .
Whoever hurt her , I’ll fucking tear them t o shreds . I growled lowly when I finally caught sight of her , her delicious scent of chocolate mixed with something I never wanted to smell on her , her blood . I felt the burning fire of anger blaze within me , taking in her back that was slashed and how she was holding on to the wall in order to walk , her other hand holding her phone with the torch on . ” … ” She seemed to have sensed me . I knew if anything it was my fucking anger that she could feel .
I closed the gap between us in a flash , cupping her face . ” Kiara . Who the fuck did this to you ? ” I growled menacingly . She froze , her heart hammering and I realised the last time she saw me was when we kissed … ” What happened , Kiara ? ” ) I repeated . I needed to know , the desperation to destroy whoever did this to her was threatening to snap all my self – control . She looked as gorgeous as ever , but the clear pain on her face was driving me crazy . She looked up but she wasn’t looking directly into my eyes . I hated the fact that she was out here in the fucking dark when she couldn’t see . Where were her guards ? Why the fuck was she out here alone ? It was then that I caught another scent on her , a scent I recognised extremely well …
My eyes flashed red and her gorgeous ones finally found mine . ” Nothing happened , I was sparring . ” She said . My eyes narrowed . ” Your entire back is slashed open . Care to explain what kind of sparring that is ? ” I growled dangerously . I hated being lied to . ” It was just sparring … ” She muttered , pulled out of my hold . ” Now get out of my way . ” I grabbed her arm and spun her around , making her flinch from the tug at her wounds . I felt guilty , fuck – couldn’t I even do anything carefully ?
” Let go of me ! ” She growled , her eyes flashing . ” Don’t fucking irritate me . We both know that I know exactly how to shut you the fuck up . ” I said dangerously . She tensed and I didn’t miss the scorn on her face . VIVAS ” That won’t work anymore . ” She said quietly . I felt my stomach twist as if she had fucking punched me in the gut . I didn’t miss how she stayed stiff in my arms rather than lean into me … It sure messed with me . ” Oh yeah , why not ? ” I asked coldly as I carried her back towards my mansion .
I wasn’t going to bother with the front door . I had enough of getting confronted b y fucking pups . ” You’re engaged . Unlike you , I’m not a whore . ” She said icily . I smirked , I’m sure if I wanted … I could fuck with her head … But wasn’t this what I wanted ? ” One woman is never enough for me . ” ” I pity Jasmin . ” She replied carelessly . I stayed silent when we reached the mansion and stopped at the bottom of my window , I jumped up onto the ledge outside my bedroom , making her gasp . Her nails were digging into my neck as I slid the window open , cradling her with ease in one arm .
I felt the tingle from her touch rush through me at her contact with me . DOWN If I hadn’t done this for years , I may have fucking fallen . I was tempted to give her a scare , just to have her cling to me for a little longer . The moment we stepped inside , she jumped out of my arm as if I burned her . She stumbled as her feet hit the ground , leaning on her left ankle . She reached out t o guide herself as she hobbled towards what she thought was my door . Poor girl … I smirked … Carry on that way and you’re going to hit the fucking bed soon enough . ” Let me check your wounds . ” I said . ” No thanks . ” She replied bitterly . ” Then let me fucking rephrase that … Sit the fuck down and let me check or I’ll force you . ” I growled . She scoffed in contempt .
