KIARA
” You’re fucking crazy . ” Alejandro said icily . She frowned slightly , her eyes glimmering . I let my aura out , allowing it t o swirl around our feet , keeping her dark magic at bay . I wasn’t sure if I could fight her off , but … I could try . I was working purely on instinct here . One thing was clear : She was derailing Alejandro’s mind , trying to get into it and manipulate him .
Not only by words , but magic was at work here too . He was strong but I had to still b e careful . ” So , you won’t help me ? ” She asked , her face turning angrier . ” No. I’m not your fucking son , nor your fucking puppet .
You’ve been accountable for so many fucking lives lost . Do you think I’d ever agree ? Other countries know about me , they are setting up similar councils .
We don’t need to do anything more . When it comes to witches , do whatever the fuck you want . But do not for one fucking second think I’d ever forgive you for all the crap you put me through ! I almost gave my mate up because of you ! He prowied , mis eyes blood red and his clavs elongating . I felt the pure rage and anger rolling off him .
” Alejandro … don’t make a rash decision . One way or another , I have worked far too hard to let you or anyone else mess with m y plans . I gave you the option to stand by my side , but if you wish to deny it , then it i s your loss .
” She hissed . So , her true colours were coming out . I glanced at Marcel . We could show him the truth … He was just a pawn … Could I undo the magic on him just as I was able to reverse the Wendigo mutation ? There was only one way to find out . ” You’re messed up .
” Alejandro growled at his mother . I stepped back slowly , letting go of Alejandro’s arm . Instantly Endora’s eyes snapped to me . I ignored her , pretending I was just engrossed in her words as I hugged Alejandro , slowly inching around him and leaning my head on his other shoulder . She looked away from me , glaring at Alejandro .
” I am doing what is our right . We are from the purest werewolf blood , Alejandro .
From the very line that the first Lycan was born of . This is our birth right . ” Her voice sounded slightly unearthly and I felt the wave of power coming closer . I made sure to keep my own aura pressed against it . Whatever she was trying to do to Alejandro was not going to happen .
Not under my watch . ” I’m going to have to burst your fucking bubble then . I will never side with you . Not now . Not fucking ever . ” Alejandro said quietly . ” Alejandro … If you are certain , then I will unleash hell upon every pack of wolves out there . ” She said . ” And I will be there to stop you .
” He said quietly , as I reached behind me and touched Marcel’s arm , slowly channelling my power while maintaining a protective aura around us . It was clearly working as a barrier , keeping Endora’s magic away from us , but doing both was proving harder than I thought …
” Let me ask you three questions . Answer them honestly . ” He said quietly . ” I owe you nothing , Alejandro . If you do not wish to side with me of your own free will , then I will make sure you do by force . ” Endora said coldly .
” Answer me first . Then do whatever the fuck you want . ” He said coldly . ” What do you want to know ? ” She asked just as coldly . It seemed his refusal had completely blinded her , and she was so angry she wasn’t even paying attention to me .
I felt the magic seep away from Marcel but it took a chunk out of me . I felt tired , like I had just trained for a few hours …. I knew when the effect drained off ,
he would come back , but I wasn’t sure if he’d realise Endora was in the wrong … ” Why did Dad hate me ? ” Alejandro asked quietly . I motioned discreetly to Marcel not to move , hoping he understood . ” You are born to be hated , and to rule . No one will ever love you , Alejandro .
” Endora said snidely . ” That’s not true . ” I answered icily , making her attention snap to me . I instantly wished I hadn’t spoken … If she told Alejandro the truth that I had assumed , then it would just hurt him even more …
” Hmph , well maybe not . Perhaps I … influenced him on how to behave …. I tried t o do it with Rafael but the boy seemed immune to spells . I guess he inherited some of my abilities . ” She spat resentfully .
