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 my head so easily? I sat up and turned away from Darien. I didn’t want him here. "Leave." I said quietly. "No. Wha

ALEJANDRO   I stood on the balcony at the front centre of the mansion two floors up, as I looked at the illuminated gardens, satisfied. "Kind of dazzling tonight, isn't it? It doesn't really make sense when we’re wolves." Jasmin said from next to me. I didn’t reply, I knew what she was insinuating and she wasn’t wrong. I had asked for it to be light enough for Kiara. "A change is good." I said coldly. She nodded, smart enough to keep her fucking mouth shut. I turned away, trying to calm the emotions that swirled within me. I wanted to see her… but at the same time, I was scared. What would I do when my eyes fell upon her? I know I was sure she was my mate… But I still wanted confirmation… Even if I would never pursue her. "You're restless." Jasmin murmured. "I’m not." I said coldly. "You are welcome to join the fucking ball." "I’d rather spend it with you." She said, stepping closer to me. I turned

RAVEN   My heart was racing as Raihana squeezed my hand, both of us were staring at the television. The eerie music only adding to our tense state. The front door opened and Raihana screamed, making me flinch before the light was flipped on as someone entered the living room. My heart skipped a beat when I saw my favourite boys, both of their blue eyes were on me. I almost shrieked as I jumped over the sofa, unable to decide which one to hug first. I pulled them both into a hug. Well, I was practically hanging from their necks, thanks to my tiny size. They both wrapped their arms around me and Damon chuckled. "Someone missed us." "More enthusiastically than Kia." Liam said, kissing the top of my head. I smiled as I let go of them. "Ok boys, you can put me down." I said, still suspended in the air thanks to their hold on me. I was about to say more but my smile vanished when I saw Uncle El carrying Kiara. "What happ

ALEJANDRO   I lit another cigarette as I stood there trying to regain control of my emotions. In this dark, fucking cellar, looking at the Wendigo that I had caught with Elijah and Rayhan. Ever since last night when I had pulled her into my arms… The way it felt… I had never experienced anything like it. The way she made me feel… had been enhanced a thousand times. It had hurt, knowing I had put her in that state, but I had to remind myself of the reason behind it. I didn’t want to hand her to her father, but I had to, before those fuckers got near her… "Anything Callum?" I asked, returning to the present. "It’s magic. I just… I don’t know. There’s nothing I can make of it; I just know that there’s magic involved in creating this. It is faint, so not much was used… which means either they are able to breed these things without magic now or the magic isn't really necessary for it anymore." He said gravely. "So even capturing a fuck

ALEJANDRO I looked between Jasmin and Kiara, my eyes staying on the nymph before me. Fuck, did she look breath-taking. Seeing her here had fucking knocked me off, I did not think she was strong enough to face me… but she sure was. I knew she was in pain. Even her composed mask couldn’t hide the anguish in those gorgeous eyes of hers. From the moment I had walked into this fucking shit-show, I could only smell and see her. She had made a statement, standing out in that black dress that was messing with my fucking self-control. I knew she did this on purpose and it was fucking working. What made it worse was the eyes that followed her around. Word had got out that Elijah Westwood’s daughter was a special wolf and I fucking hated it. The unmated Alphas watched her like fucking power-hungry leeches, and even the fuckers who weren’t into fucking power were checking her out as if she was a fucking item. To top it off, Rayhan was being a fucker again. He sur
