ALEJANDRO
” Alejandro ! Alejandro ! ” I opened my eyes to find Darien leaning over me . Where was I ? I looked around , aware of the pain in my body and how tired I fucking felt . Then it all came back . Kiara . The pain was still there but with the exhaustion , I felt it was duller . I looked away , shoving Darien far from me . ” Get the fuck out of my way . ” I said hoarsely . It seems like my throat hasn’t healed yet .
” Al … What are you doing man ? Substance abuse ? We need you at your strongest … What if an attack happened when you were out ? We’d be fucked thanks to your reckless behaviour ! ” Darien growled , I knew he was fucking scared that I almost killed myself , but I wouldn’t die that fast … I wasn’t that stupid …. I also knew I didn’t think of anything but how I was feeling … Kiara . How did she fuck up m y head so easily ? I sat up and turned away from Darien . I didn’t want him here .
” Leave . ” I said quietly . ” No. What happened Al ? ” He asked , placing a hand on my shoulder . ” Nothing ! I don’t need your fucking pity ! ” I growled , standing up and turning my back on him . He shook his head softly . ” This isn’t pity , it’s concern for my brother . ” Darien said , frowning . ” I haven’t seen you like this in years … Is it her ? ” My eyes flashed and I grabbed him by the throat .
I knew at my current strength he could rip free with ease but it seemed he didn’t want to . I slammed him against the wall , feeling every muscle in my body scream for reprieve . ” There is no one in my life that matters . I’m a fucking monster , remember ?! ” I said harshly . His eyes softened . ” You’re not . Only you see it like that . ” He said , pulling himself free . ” She’s strong , Alejandro , strong enough to be that Queen by your side . Stronger than Jasmin by far and she’s already won our pack over in such a short time – something Jasmin hasn’t been able to achieve in years . Yes she’s respected , but she’s not loved .
” # I looked at him , not even having the energy to argue . Kiara was so lovable , who wouldn’t warm up to her ? ” Jasmin is nothing to me , and that’s what I need . ” I said , turning away . Neither of us needed to say Kiara’s name to know who we were talking about . ” You need to cut yourself some slack . You are capable of treating her like a Queen and deep down you know it … Who better to protect her than the Alpha King himself ? Why didn’t he fucking get it ? I could also hurt her … ” You have done nothing but take care of her , even her father can see that .
” ” Yeah , well if he knew how good I’ve taken care of her he sure as hell wouldn’t fucking like it . ” I said , without my usual smirk . I had no fucking energy for sadistic humour right now . ” Claim her before The Blood Moon . What i f … her mate shows up . ” He said quietly . I smirked now though , turning and looking at him . ” You sure are fucking dumb … ” I remarked . He raised an eyebrow before he looked at me with shock . ” Wait , do you really think she’s … ?
” ” I’ve heard sometimes you have a connection … I don’t need a Blood Moon to confirm what I already know . ” I said quietly . ” Then that’s perfect ! Alejandro ! She’s the rightful Queen , you can’t give her position to someone else ! ” ” Moments ago you were fucking ok with me giving up my mates position to Kiara . # I said . ” Because I was right , she’s suited for you . ” He proclaimed stubbornly . I shook my head . No one fucking understood .
” No. ” ” Then what about the mating ceremony ? What the hell will you do ? ” I now turned and gave him a cold smirk . ” What the fuck do you think ? You’re hosting it . ” I said . His eyes widened in surprise . My presence wasn’t really needed , I only talked to a few of the fuckers . I hated the fucking display of lovesick pups like it was a fucking senior prom or some shit .
