KIARA
I almost burst out laughing at the way he struggled . I pressed my lips together to stifle the giggle but I still had a huge smile on my face . He was actually trying ? That was cute … Let’s see how long it lasts . He began speaking again and I ignored all the looks we were getting . More so , Alejandro was receiving . After all , the man listened to no one . I felt a fuzzy warmth inside me .
He was trying , and in return , I wasn’t going to press his buttons just to see how far he would go . We both had a long way to go and just acting on our emotions was not going to be enough . ” I want to go with you . ” I said suddenly . All eyes snapped towards me and I saw both Dad and Alejandro frown .
” Kia , it’s really dangerous . ” Aunty Indy sajd , concerned . ” Doesn’t matter . I’m strong and Alejandro will be with me . ” I said , my heart hammering at the thought of going anywhere alone with him … Shit , maybe this was a bad idea .
” I don’t know if that’s even smart … ” Dad said frowning . ” You’re not going . It’s dangerous . ” Alejandro said firmly . ” I can handle myself . I’m in danger no matter where I am … and I’d rather be away from a pack if I have a target on my back . ” I said quietly .
” She has a point . ” Mom said , crossing her arms . ” We can protect you here . ” Aunty Indy said , concerned . Fred simply frowned , remaining silent . I had half a mind to say she couldn’t even protect herself but I wasn’t going to call her out like that . I looked at her , noticing she looked paler than normal . Was she o k ? I focused on her , letting my aura spread towards her , feeling and sensing her emotions .
Pain . She was in pain ? Was it physical or emotional ? ” It isn’t safe , Angel . ” Dad said , snapping me out of my thoughts . ” That’s an insult to the Lycan King himself , is it not Dad ? ” I replied , trying to focus on the present . Attempting to keep my heart steady just saying that , made me realise exactly how powerful and important Alejandro was . ” Kiara … It’s going to be only the two of you . If you are attacked-
” ” I can handle myself . You all seem to forget that I am not an ordinary wolf . ” I said , frowning . ” Powers you don’t really know how to deal with yet . ” Alejandro added . That was not fair , I was doing pretty well ! ” Hey , I have only let my emotions out of control twice and both of those were instigated . ” I said defiantly . ” Ok , how about we settle this with a vote ?
” Mom said . Rafael looked between my parents , seemingly torn as to who he’d side with if it came down to a vote . Darien and Carmen simply stayed silent , watching . ” You’re ok for her to go ? ” Dad asked Mom .
Their eyes met and I knew they were mind linking . Dad frowned , hesitating . I looked at Alejandro . He had gone quiet , a deep frown on his face . ” Alejandro can decide . ” Dad said after a moment , looking displeased .
Well , seems like Mom at least got through to him somewhat . I turned towards Alejandro , who was frowning deeply . ” Fine . ” He said coldly . I smiled in relief , despite the crazy storm within me . Not only was I able to . contribute … I was also going to be spending time alone with Alejandro … Maybe we could use it to work on stuff … I wasn’t sure … ” We leave in an hour . Pack .
” Alejandro said . Now looking directly at me and sending my heart racing once again . I nodded before he finished off a few smaller things . The meeting was signalled as over and we were all about to leave when Alejandro spoke . ” Indigo . A word . ”
I stopped along with Mom , Dad , Aunty and Fred . ” Everything ok , Alpha ? ” Fred asked , his eyes narrowing . ” ” I’m talking to Indigo , not you . ” Alejandro said coldly . His dark aura swirled around him . ” She’s my mate and I have a right to know why . ” Fred said , as he looked away under his Alpha’s aura . ” Frederick , I’m sure things are going to b e fine . ” Mom said concerned .
“ Indigo . ” Fred said , looking at his mate . I sensed the silent warning in his gaze and frowned . ” Alpha Alejandro is her Alpha . Let’s leave . ” I said suddenly . Fred looked at me and I didn’t miss the irritation rolling off him , making Aunty pale . ” Kiara , please . ” She said . ” Get out . ” Alejandro said , his eyes now flashing red and no one was able to disobey .
Mom and Dad frowned as they walked out and Fred followed . I glanced at Aunty and Alejandro , wondering what that was about . I had seen Alejandro show concern before for Aunty … I still wanted t o know what that was about … ” Kiara , stay with me . ” Aunty Indy said suddenly as I stopped at the door . I turned surprised , not missing the murderous look on Alejandro’s face .
