ALEJANDRO
” I hope Kiara hasn’t been too much of a hassle . ” Elijah said . We had spent the last few hours discussing my possible leads , what Fred and Indy had been able to find , and what else we had gathered . I felt like we were getting somewhere , even if the steps were tiny . ” She’s been fine . ” I said , taking a long drag on my cigarette . ” Hmm , that’s not like you . ” He remarked . I looked up at him sharply , raising an eyebrow .
” What the fuck isn’t ? ” 11 ” Not complaining I hated how fucking smart this dickhead was . ” It’s been a long fucking day , want me to start listing how fucking troublesome your girl’s been ? ” I remarked . ” Maybe I’m looking too much into it . You two seem to be getting on a little better than I was expecting . ” He said , rubbing his temples .
I didn’t react , focusing on keeping my heart steady . ” She’s helped out several patients . I can’t really complain about that shit , can I ? ” Can I just say that I want to fuck her all the time and she messes with my mind way fucking more than I’d ever admit ? ” True . The thing is , I have a lot more pups in my pack . Also not as many warriors as this pack , although my wolves are trained well . ” ” Yeah , I saw that much .
” I said . ” Your point ? ” He gave me a cocky smirk . ” Kiara . Can I leave her under your care then ? I get that she attracts danger , but you need leads . Why not let them come to you ? I’m willing to send my best men to help as well . ” ” I didn’t speak . I wanted to protect her . But * I kept messing with her , hurting her .
I couldn’t be with her , yet I couldn’t fucking stay away . How the hell do I explain that … ? She was physically safer around me , but what about mentally ? So far , I was fucking her up and that shit wasn’t good . However , I also knew I was the one who could protect her best … I nodded . ” Fine .
Callum would enjoy having her at the hospital . ” I said curtly . The reminder that even I ‘ enjoyed ‘ having her at the hospital returned to me … ” You sure you’re ok ? ” Elijah asked me and I hated the fact he actually looked concerned . ” I’m fucking fine . ” No , I wasn’t , I felt like I had a storm of emotions and conflict raging within me .
This morning he had asked me about my engagement and I had told him the plans – the security and all . The only issue was , with the large influx of wolves coming for the mating ceremony we were going to have a lot of people coming in and out . The risk of something sneaking in with them was higher .
We were holding the engagement at the same location as the mating ball , away from my pack , I was not going to let hundreds of wolves into m y territory for them to get a good insight on my security . Especially now with Kiara here , I wouldn’t risk her getting hurt . Kiara had become my weakness . For her , I’d lay my own fucking life down , but I also didn’t want them to hurt her because of me .
Sure she was a target already , but still , things could be worse . I could lose my self – control and do the same thing to her that I had done to my own mother . I had cared for her , loved her … but I still killed her without an ounce of compassion . I couldn’t , wouldn’t , do the same to Kiara . I knew she was made for me . The connection I felt for her …. The woman she was … I guess the moon goddess made me wait because she was carving me a goddess herself … Perfection took time , and Kiara was the epitome of perfection .
There was nothing I’d change about her … a ” I looked up and saw Elijah ” Alejandro . ” frowning . ” Are you sure you’re ok ? ” He asked . ” Yeah , now fuck off . ” I grunted . He gave m ” You should head e a glare and I stood up . back , I’m going for a run .
He nodded and we went our own ways . I just needed to let loose some of these emotions . I got home after four am . I felt a little better having been able to release all my pent up frustration into running . I mean , I wasn’t even in the mood for a fuck these days , well if it didn’t include Kiara anyway . I walked down the hall , deciding I’d crash in my office . Despite everything being stripped in my room , I could smell the blood and death that lingered .
I was in the process of having it repainted , re carpeted and with all new fucking furniture . I paused at Kiara’s door , the smell of hazelnut chocolate lingered , calming me a little more . I couldn’t stop wishing I could just walk in and hold her , that would surely calm me the fuck down . Fuck , I was going in circles . Staying away was the plan , remember ? I was about to carry on when I froze .
