Those words felt bitter to digest, but I didn't respond as I put some food on my plate. “Jasmin and Alpha Al have had an on-off relationship, if you could call it that. Anyway, he tolerates her. She knows how t o run a pack and she’s smart, plus she’s actually pretty strong. Alpha Al is pretty closed up and won't really let anyone close to him. Jasmin's able to tolerate him and although he can be hateful, she’s strong enough to stand by his side.” Aunty Indy continued.
"Why not choose a she-wolf from his own pack?” Raven asked curiously. Aunty Indy smirked. "Although the King's got a reputation — as an uncaring, dangerous bad boy he has rules. He doesn't sleep with any woman from his own pack. Not even omegas. That surprised me. I looked up at her, shocked. “What, why?" I asked. “He doesn't think it's professional and I think it makes sense, as this way there won't be any catfights between the females, Most of the women here would love to sleep with him
Heck, even I crushed on him back in the day.” Aunty Indy said pulling a face. “But he treats his pack equally and doesn't cross the line between business and pleasure.” I scoffed. “Yeah right.” I said, freezing when Raven raised an eyebrow at me, smirking. Aunty Indy looked confused. “What does that mean?” “Well, I'm sure he gets around.” I stated. “Well, I know Scarlett said he fucked Liana back when he visited The Blood Moon Pack recently.” Aunty Indy chuckled.
My stomach sank a little more. So, he had fucked someone after he had teased me. I don't know why that hurt, it just did... But then again, I couldn't be that much of a hypocrite, I had sex with Damon that night too. “Liana? Really? Oh wow..." Raven said, before trailing off. “Well, she is gorgeous.” Aunty Indy said. “ I guess it's good that Jasmin seems strong enough to deal with him. I doubt he'll correct his ways though.” “So, what does he do for sex if he doesn't have sex with his own pack members?” “He's out often enough and sometimes he'll have some women come over for a night or so.” She replied with a shrug.
Why are you so curious?” “Oh, no real reason. I mean, we live there and I wouldn't want some random woman brought'into the house, you know. “ Raven said, smoothly. I could tell she wanted to bury the topic now. “Oh, he rarely brings women to his mansion, I think the only woman who he’s had in that house is probably Jasmin. He has a second place.” I drank my Coke, wishing it was alcohol or something to help with the growing pain I was feeling inside. So, for all I knew, he had probably slept with several women since I've been here. Right? The thought that maybe he did feel me, depleted fast. I guess it something for was better that I didn't delve on it and he'd just stay away from me, and I him.
It was much later, and we were chatting and laughing. It had been so much fun to just unwind and catch up, I even felt better. Mom video called for a bit and I was glad she was her normal self, but as the time passed I could tell Aunty Indy kept looking at the time and felt a bit uneasy. She reached over for a bottle of water from the table, her top sliding up and I saw a large bruise on her hip. "What happened there?” I asked in concern. Reaching over, she tensed but relaxed when I touched it slowly. “Oh, on the way back, rogues.” She said, 11 pulling a face. “It must have been a big hit if it is still not healed.” Raven said sympathetically. I took a deep breath and focused on wanting to heal it. This time I noticed the very gentle coolness and I opened my eyes just as the bruise faded away. Aunty Indy whistled, “Wow.. Thanks, Kia.
" She said impressed and gave me a tight hug with a kiss on the forehead. 1 smiled and wrapped my arms around her. 1 suddenly missed Mom a lot. “When is Fred returning?” Raven asked. ” I wouldn't mind getting to know your 10 broody mate a little,” “Oh, I'm not sure. I'm a little tired Shall w e call it a night?” Aunty Indy suggested, retturning to looking a little uncomfortable. I could sense the unease rolling off her, underlined with maybe even a bit of fear? 1 frowned. e “You ok Aunty?” I asked concerned. “Yeah, I just need to sleep, I have an early start tomorrow. I'll see you girls tomorrow. I'll come down.” She said. Raven didn't say anything, but I knew she had caught on to Aunty’s rush to get us out of there too, “That sounds great.” I said as I and Raven got up to leave. Just then, the front door opened and in walked Aunty’s mate.
A frown on his face, the smell of alcohol laced with his own and I felt my stomach sink when I could smell something else off him — sex and a woman. It was faint, but I noticed his clothes were also changed... I glanced at Aunty Indy who looked at me, a glint of sadness and embarrassment in her eyes before she looked away. “You lot are still here?” He said moodily. “Yes! Do you want to join us?” Raven asked. I knew Raven couldn't smell it because her wolf hadn't awoken, so her senses weren't so strong. Not to mention, I was o f Alpha blood and my sense of smell was naturally stronger. “They were just leaving.” Aunty Indy %3D said, walking over to him. I watched as she wrapped her arms around him and I felt my heartbreak. She loved him and he was abusing that.
Anger ignited within me as I clenched my jaw. Stay calm and leave, Kiara. Don't do anything reckless. It took every ounce of my self-restraint to not react. a I walked past them, my fists clenched, giving it my all not to lunge at the bastard for hurting and using my Aunty like this. I s this what mates were capable of? All had seen was mates loving each other, like Mom and Dad, Grandad and Grandma, I guess I had heard of Mom's biological Dad abusing Grandma., But it was rare, right? How could Aunty possibly deal with this shit? I stormed out the door with Raven hurrying to keep up with me. “Whoa girl, chill!” “I just... Let's just go home.” I said coldly. “Ria.. What the hell happened?” “Forget it.
"1 said, as she took my har and led me down the steps. We reached the bottom but my fury was only growing. “I just.” “Kia... Stop..." “Don’t tell me to stop!” I snapped. My entire body felt like I was on fire. The anger I felt inside was screaming to get out. “Kia... breathe.” Raven said tersely as she let go of me. I couldn't. All I could feel was resentment towards Frederick and how he was treating Aunty. “Kia... You're on fire...” I looked at her, frowning as I realised I could see her. A purple light seemed to be illuminating the entire area. It was then that I realised it was coming from none other than me. I raised my hands to see the purple flame-like aura surrounding m y entire body, visible to the naked eye..
