ALEJANDRO
An hour had passed since everyone had been healed or taken care of . As much as I fucking hated it , Kiara healed everyone without a care who saw her ability and who didn’t . I knew Elijah wasn’t pleased , but it seemed like me , he probably didn’t feel like there was anything we could have fucking done to stop her . Something about Kiara’s aura , her strength , and the way she oozed authority seemed to carry itself knowingly .
As I said , she’s a fucking queen . Alpha Jake was sent home after being given the option to hold a funeral for his mate here , but he refused . I sent men with the families of those who had lost someone and the injured that were now . mostly healed were given the option to stay and rest or leave . The Alphas who were unharmed all decided to take their leave . With these attacks , they didn’t feel comfortable leaving their packs unwatched .
Although we all knew the target was Kiara . This new warning may have minted at attacks on packs , one thing I had to make sure didn’t happen . Although many wanted to know why the wedding wasn’t happening and since when did I care for a fucking mate . Not to mention the rumours that had now blown up about Kiara’s potential . I knew those old fuckers were planning shit and had questions they wanted me to answer . Questions I knew I was going to have to answer to the fucking council members that were remaining here .
Raf and his family were also stopping . The fucking pups seemed to be happy about that . I even saw Rayhan and Raihana smirking about something , and from the fucking look of things , I was sure they had somehow fucking clicked about Kiara … I wasn’t sure if they realised I was her mate , but then again , I did fucking say She’s mine ‘ like a fucking idiot . They had been close by when I had said that … 2 ( And here the fuck we were , Claire and Carla had made tea for everyone and we were gathered in the larger living room in my mansion , a room that I rarely used . I leaned against the wall , dressed in a pair o f joggers and a t – shirt , smoking away .
Scarlett was now dressed in black and looking at me like she wanted to fucking kill me . Yeah , she probably did . Luckily for me , I wasn’t the only one facing Scarlett’s wrath , I saw the glares Elijah was getting . Something I actually enjoyed . He looked fucking pained to be in her bad books . Serves the fucker right … Rayhan , Raf , Maria , Allen , Kennan , Darien , Serena , a crying Jasmin and Bill were now all here . The door opened and Kiara stepped inside . My heart skipped a fucking beat . She looked fucking gorgeous in her dress , despite the splashes of blood and the few tears mixed in it . She didn’t look at me , but I didn’t miss the beat of her heart speed up . Now what ? I couldn’t bring myself to mark Jasmin … I knew in that moment on stage , that the only woman I’d ever be able to mark would be Kiara . But … that was all I knew . Would I ? Could I ? Was it too fucking late ? Was I fucking safe for her to be around ? The door shut with a soft click and I heard Scarlett tut her tongue in annoyance . Her glare now trained on her daughter . Kiara simply looked away , crossing her arms .
” Alpha Alejandro , care to explain why we called Alphas from all over the country , only for you to back out ? With all due respect . ” Allen said gravely . Elijah crossed his arms , since his woman wasn’t letting him touch her . ” I want to know too . ” He added . ” This is no small matter . ” Kennan remarked . Jasmin rushed over to me , clasping her hands together . ” Alpha … Please … I don’t care what you do on the side . I want you . ” She whispered . I did not want this shit in front of everyone .
I frowned as I glared at her . ” I told you from the fucking start , don’t expect anything from me . ” I said icily . ” Give us one good reason why you want to call this off . ” Bill said , patting his sweating brow . Clearly , he had worked himself up as he took deep breaths , trying not to panic . ” Please Alpha . ” Jasmin begged , her eyes filled with tears . Tears that meant nothing to me . ” I’ll tell you the damn reason .
” Scarlett said , her eyes flashing silver as she stepped forward as all eyes turned to her . ” Red . ” Elijah said . ” No ! Why should I stay quiet ? I am so fucking pissed off ! ” She snapped , her canines elongated . ” Mom . Enough . ” Kiara’s sexy voice came . Her mother looked at her and I knew they were mind linking . Scarlett pushed Elijah’s hands off of her and clenched her fists .
