I placed a hand to my heart, taking a deep breath. “Seriously, have you not heard of knocking?!” I growled, getting to my feet and praying the thin, clingy fabric of my shirt didn't reveal too much. Fat chance, his eyes were already roaming over me. I yanked on the hem, hoping to cover my underwear, only to notice his eyes flashing red as they focused on my breasts which were now pressing against the slightly sheer white fabric. Didn't he say he was done and dusted with me?

My stomach fluttered and I slowly made my way back to my bed and sat down, crossing my arms expertly over my chest. “Care to share why the almighty Alpha king graced my humble abode with his presence?” I asked mockingly, glad he was at least wearing clothes now. “To tell you, that whatever you heard is not to be mentioned to anyone.” He said seriously. I frowned, curiosity igniting within me. Should I say I don't know what he’s on about? Should I dig a little deeper.. “I don't know about that; I mean it's some pretty serious information... If it was so important, why didn’t you stop talking when you knew I was awake?” I said, smoothly. «

He glared at me. “I didn't realise you were fucking awake.” He growled dangerously. “Now that's a fucking order.” “On one condition.” I said, keeping my eyes firmly on his. “Who the fuck do you think you are to put conditions forth?” He said coldly. “Then I won't promise to keep my mouth shut.” I countered confidently. “This is a serious lead, Kiara. One I've been going after for years. There's a high chance that Galloway Forest may contain the answers. I don't trust many people, I can't deal with another leak.” He said quietly.

I felt my blood run cold, the name was ordinary and one I knew. Being the largest forest in the United Kingdom... But why did I feel there was something off..? “Fuck, woman. Don't ignore me. “He growled dangerously. I looked up at him. “No... I'm not ignoring you. There's « something there. You should stay away from it. I have a bad feeling.” I said, now rubbing my arms, trying to get rid of the goosebumps that had settled there. Also trying not to flinch at the marks the silver blade had left. "What do you mean?” He asked, now frowning.

“I don't know. I just have a feeling.” I shrugged, “Now can I sleep?” He looked at me, his frown partially gone and I wished it wasn't. He messed with m y mind and body so easily. “Callum told me about your abilities. There are chances you have other abilities aside from healing.” He said. “You mean like my sixth sense that often comes true?” I asked. “Maybe... I won't believe in that unless I see it for myself.” He said. I gave him a glare but said nothing. Everyone back home thought it was just intuition, but I knew Liam also had that sense too. Maybe it wasn't the same thing “Have you told your parents?”

“No...” I said, thinking there was a lot I hadn't told them... “Hm. Well, I think we need to. The Blood Moon isn't far off and that means many people will come here. There is a high chance of something going down.” “What does that even mean? Are you implying I could become a target if my ability gets out?” “I think you already are one. I froze. Suddenly Dad's words came rushing back to me — “Our pack is a hot spot for the attacks.. “Wait, did Dad have this assumption too? “I said, now standing up and staring at Alejandro accusingly. Is that why Dad sent me away?

“Maybe, maybe not. You're going to have t o ask him. Originally, we thought it could be your mother.” He said. “We?! Fuck. So, he only let me come to keep me safe!” I exclaimed. Irritation and anger were now building within me. “Chill the fuck out. He did it for your own fucking good. Pups these days.” He growled as he made his way to the door. “Hey, don't call me a pup! I have the perfect way to piss Dad off anyway. I'll tell him what I've been doing here...” I muttered. He looked at me and for a second I swore I saw amused curiosity there, but it was gone as quickly as it came. "Oh yeah?

That would be fun to watch.” “Yeah, I'll tell him we had sex... He'll regret the decision for the rest of his life... ” My amusement died away. No, I would never use that. Not after knowing how Dad still blamed himself for my ankle. “Sounds pretty good. Maybe I'll do the honours myself.” He said, humourlessly. My smile vanished as he stood, his hand still on the handle. “Don’t. On that topic... have you told Jasmin?” I asked. “No, I have nothing to tell her. I agreed to marry her the day after that night.”

He said. My heart skipped a beat but I somehow felt a little better... So I would only need to apologise for the kiss. “Why the fuck do you even care? If anyone, shouldn't I be the one to fucking regret it?” He asked. His cold, dark eyes now bore into mine. “You don't even feel guilty? Really? Not even for any of your actions?” I asked. He looked away, opening the door. “No. I don't give a fuck.” The door shut and ay down on my side with a sigh. Tomorrow I needed to apologise to her, to get it off my chest.

The following day I felt much better and took a nice cool shower. Getting dressed i na pair of white torn jeans and a neon pink crop top, I sat down on the bed. I wrapped a bandage around my ankle to « help support it before I pulled on some white sneakers and plaited my waist- length hair in a loose braid. Once I put on some matching pink earrings, I finished the look off with some subtle make-up. M y hands were almost fully healed and my back was perfect.

It seemed Alejandro’s saliva worked better than the standard Alphas. I now looked at my hands, placing them together as I tried to heal myself once again. I opened my eyes, the dull ache remained and nothing had changed. Hmm, guess it won't work... Maybe I just wasn't meant to heal myself? I left my room and bumped straight into Raven. “Ow my nose! Even those plushies didn't protect it!” She said, rubbing her cute button nose. I smiled in amusement. “I feel sorry for my poor boobies.” I said, giving her a mock glare.

She smirked. “Oh really? Well girl, we both know someone took really good care of them and seems to adore them, so they get enough love.” She said with a gesture towards Alejandro’s room. I felt my cheeks heat up slightly. “Idon’t think so.” I knew he couldn't keep his eyes off of me, but for her to assume that, was it that obvious? “Well, he always seems to have his eyes o n you.” She whispered as we made our way downstairs. “Maybe, so what are you doing today?” I asked, desperately wanting to change the topic.

“Shopping with Raihana and Serena.” She said. “Sure you don't want to join?" “I can't. I'm going to go to the hospital to try and help the ones who need it the most.” She pouted but nodded in understanding. I wrapped my arms around her. “I promise sometime before the Blood Moon, we'll go out, ok?” “Deal, I want a whole day.” She bargained lightly, wrapping her arms around my waist. I nodded in agreement; I missed our time together. Since coming here, things have been interesting to say the least. “You ok?” She asked with concern, noticing my rather obvious limp. I smiled. “Perfectly.” I said, flashing her a smile.

I would tell her I sparred but I knew she'd g o ballistic. “Breakfast smells so good...” Raven said, food being cooked. inhaling the Before I could reply the front door opened to reveal Jasmin standing there in a black leather skirt, a black net top that showed off her bra underneath, paired with killer heels and red lipstick. The woman sure was hot. I wasn't bimd to that... She even reminded me a little of Mum, from the way she dressed and her red hair.

Although Mum's was dyed red, this woman was a natural redhead. Apart from their fashion sense and hair, they were nothing else alike. Well, I guess here's my chance to apologise. Our eyes met and she pursed her lips, clearly pissed off to see me. “Can we talk?” I asked, letting go of Raven, who gave Jasmin a cold glare before glancing at me and then walking off to the kitchen. “About what?” She said, crossing her arms. “Can we talk outside?” I asked. She smirked. “Sure.” She said, her eyes falling to my ankle as I walked to the door, finding it amusing.

I walked past her and stepped outside. She ran her fingers through her hair, a bored look on her face. “Make it quick, I'm here to discuss our engagement with Alejandro. That sent a stab of pain through me but m y face remained passive. I shouldn't care. “That's nice. The reason I wanted to talk with you was to apologise. If I knew he had someone, I would never have kissed him back.” I said quietly... Or at least I would've tried not to. « My words seemed to surprise her as she searched my eyes suspiciously.

"Are you actually apologising?” She asked. “Yes. I'm not a home-wrecker. I wish you both a happy married and mated life. Congratulations.” I said and smiled softly. There is a sense of tranquillity when you can just accept something and let go. Even though it hurt inside, seeing that an apology made someone else feel better was enough.

I knew it would take me time to get over these feelings I had towards him, the way he made me feel... But he chose Jasmin, that was enough to show what he wanted in life. “Wow. Thanks. It really pissed me off seeing that, but I guess you're not to blame completely. Alpha Alejandro is a catch.” "Hm, as one Alpha’s daughter to another Alpha’s daughter. Can we put the past behind us and move on?” I asked, not wanting any bad blood. She pursed her lips, then shook her head. “Whatever, fine.” She said with a nod. ” — Just stay away from my man.” a I smelt him before I even heard him approach. I didn’t want to be here any longer.

“I will. All the best, I better get inside to-" “Alejandro! Kiara here was just apologizing.” Jasmin said. I didn't miss the smugness in her voice, but I was not going to let her pettiness get to me. Couldnt we just behave like two women instead of this childishness coming in the way? “What are you doing here?”

He asked, ignoring her remark. I turned to walk inside when Jasmin laughed. “To talk about some stuff with you... And maybe... Catch up on other stuff...” I couldn't help glance at them, as she trailed her hand down his stomach. My heart thrummed painfully in my chest. Just walk away Kiara... just walk... but I couldn't. I watched as she locked her arms around his neck. He caught her by the waist as she tugged his head down and kissed him on the lips.
