Chapter 35

35 A King’s Promise ALEJANDRO Raihana hadn’t been expecting that, she had paled and asked me not to tell anyone, that this wasn’t the time for such news. I get where the f**k she was coming from and agreed. But it put the decision down in f*****g stone, I was not risking her in any f*****g way. She was totally out of the picture, although I knew she wouldn’t just sit back, she had helped enough. F**k, we needed answers and fast…

“Take care on the way back.” Maria was saying, kissing the little f****r, Tatum.

Had to admit that pup was cute. I went over, taking him from her.

“Of course, Mom, we are going by teleportation.” Raihana replied, kissing Chris before she pulled away.

Tatum looked up at me with his large green eyes and I narrowed my eyes. I swear these little devils were embedded with some sort of power or s**t, something told me that if any of these pups asked for something I’d f*****g give it to them. 3 Na, can’t let that s**t happen… He reached up, giving me a smile.

F**k it, I’d give him whatever he wants. He rested his head against my shoulder, and I snuck in a quick peck when no one was watching. Narrowing my eyes when I saw Kiara smile, knowingly although she wasn’t even looking in my direction. 4 ‘You are so cute, my s**y beast.’ ‘I f*****g ain’t. I’m just doing what Raf probably would have, on his behalf.’ ‘You don’t need to explain it to me.’ I glared at her as she looked as if she was about to burst out laughing. I’ll s***k that a*s tonight. 1 Raihana crouched down next to Dante. “My handsome prince, get better soon, this visit hasn’t been the same without you at your loudest. You know you are the male version of me.”

“I am not.” Dante retorted wrinkling his nose. “I’m Dante Rossi, there’s no one like me.” 2 The women laughed and I smirked. “Exactly what I mean.” Raihana smirked, ruffling his hair, making him glare at her as she turned to Rayhan. “Take care of her.”

“Obviously.” He replied, as Raihana hugged Delsanra tightly.

They exchanged a quiet word before nodding at each other and Raihana kissed Delsanra’s hands. 1 “Well see you all soon, come on Tatum.” Chris said, coming over and taking his pup from me.

He went willingly, we exchanged a firm handshake and then they took their leave, so I decided to get some stuff done.

“I hope things are sorted soon.” Was the last thing I heard when I left the room.

I needed to question Enrique, so I made my way upstairs and looked at Milo. “Has he said or done anything weird?” I asked quietly. Unknown to Kiara, I’d had a camera installed this morning when the boy was in the bathroom having a shower, taking the chance to get someone from the tech team to sneak in and set that s**t up. 1 “Nothing Alpha, he just stands there or sits, staring at his right arm.” Milo replied, frowning slightly. I nodded curtly, knocking on the door before I opened it. Sure enough, he was standing there emotionlessly staring out the window. He turned upon seeing me and I sighed inwardly. I did not want to have a f*****g prisoner, especially a d**n child…

“Hey, kid.”

He didn’t respond and I left the door open, not wanting to make him worry. I walked over to the bed and took a seat, knowing my large frame was intimidating. “Can I ask you a few questions?” I asked, deciding on a different approach.

Silence.

“Your father has cursed my son. My nephew’s mate is also suffering because of this curse when she tried to lift it. I’m trying to reach out to him… but he isn’t responding. I won’t be punishing you nor will I be holding it against you if you don’t reply, but if you can from the bottom of your heart give us some answers as to why we are being dealt this s**t, I’d f*****g appreciate it.”

He remained silent but I didn’t miss the small frown on his face.

“I won’t answer. The Lycan King may punish me or kill me… It doesn’t matter anyway.” The last part of his words were so silent I knew he didn’t think I’d hear.

“I’m not punishing you kid, and I’m not asking you as the f*****g Lycan King, I’m asking you as the father of a child who is suffering. I’m pleading for his sake to repay the debt we owe. A debt I just wish your father told me about. How can I fix s**t when I don’t even know what the f**k it is?” I asked.

He looked at me and for a moment I felt as if that cold front dropped a little. He looked down at his hand once again and f**k I wish I could do something to help him.

“Padre never mentioned what debt it is, only that you will pay for everything he has suffered for.” He finally spoke, not even looking me in the eye. “I don’t know about the curse, he never said anything about it.”

Oh, he knew more than he had just said but it seems he wasn’t going to tell me.

I nodded.

“I appreciate your help, how about you come downstairs and join the family for pizza and a movie later?”

His eyes snapped to me, and his heart thudded as he stepped back.

“I… No, I don’t…”

“It’s a movie, you’re going to go f*****g crazy in this room and until your father contacts me, I don’t know what the f**k I’m going to do with you. You’re stuck here, so get the hell downstairs in an hour.”

He frowned and simply nodded.

“If that is what the Lycan king wants.”

I raised an eyebrow, that’s twice he’s said ‘Lycan king’ and I sure as hell don’t think he was f*****g softening. This pup was smarter than the average ten-year-old and whatever s**t was going on in his mind was not so f*****g simple. 1 I’ll keep an eye on him… “What do you do for pastime? Any hobbies? Football? Gaming?”

“I don’t waste time, or as you call it pastime. I train, I study, and I work hard… to be the best alpha I can be.” His words were monotonous, as if they had been drilled into him repeatedly.

“Yeah? Well, you’re still a pup kid, you need to live a little. I grew up thinking I was a f*****g monster, that my purpose was to protect this race and that’s it. That I was far too f*****g messed up to have what I have now.”

Curiosity filled his eyes and he looked at me.

“Did the Queen Luna change you?”. I raised an eyebrow, not expecting that question. “Yeah, she did.

She somehow loved me for whoever the f**k I was, showing me that I was worth more than I thought…

My parents always expected so much from me, although my father was under my so-called mother’s influence, I was always told I wasn’t what I should be. I ended up killing my father when I first shifted, and I thought I killed my mother too. That was it, then I began to shut everyone out… but you know it was her ploy, all part of her plan to take control of me and rule the f*****g world. Look, kid, what I’m trying to say is; you are not, nor do you need to be, what your parents expect you to be. You are f*****g allowed to do whatever s**t you want. Think from the heart and do what feels right…”

I trailed off, seeing his gaze fall to his arm. I got off the bed and walked over to him, crouching down before him, I took hold of his arm just when he was about to step back.

It was healed fully, the edge a smooth stump. No kid should have f*****g gone through this… I swear…

when I find that f****r, I will kill him slowly…

“This might just p**s you off, but what you did for Kataleya, I won’t forget it, and neither will she. No matter whatever the f**k the future brings, just remember that the Lycan King owes you.”

I wanted to fix it, but I couldn’t give him false hopes as I had nothing to f*****g go on. He looked into my eyes, and I knew he didn’t believe me.

“There is no future.”

“What you did tonight… thank you.” Kiara whispered, wrapping her arms around my neck Pizza and movie time was over, and the kids were all tucked into bed.

“I questioned him too.” I remarked.

“I was outside, you did it nicely. Thank you, my s**y beast.” She tugged me down, claiming my lips in a passionate kiss.

Well as long as I get to f*****g kiss her senseless or f**k her brains out, I didn’t need to explain s**t. If she’s happy that’s all I f*****g needed. I squeezed her a*s and kissed her back. Throughout the evening Kataleya’s eyes had been fixed on the pup, but he had refused to acknowledge her, that f*****g pissed me off, but I couldn’t blame him either. “I’ll try not to be too long.” I whispered huskily when we broke apart, trying not to focus on how hard my d**k had gotten. “I’ll be waiting.” She replied, her gaze dipping to my package. Biting her lip and leaning up, placing those hands of hers on my shoulders, she stuck her tongue out, flicking my ear sensually and making me growl, my eyes flashing before she laughed and pulled away. “See you later my love.” Blowing me a kiss, she walked off up the stairs, giving me a good view of that a*s in that tiny dress of hers.

As much as I wanted to f**k her right now, I needed to head to this meeting.

It was twenty minutes later and me, my beta and deltas were all seated around the table, including my head warrior Carmen, Rayhan and Maria. There were also a few of my other pack members, all of whom were in top positions in my pack. We had just gone over everything again, including what Kenneth had told us, the images, and everything else we managed to dig up. Liam hadn’t managed to find much at the burned down country house, but there had been blueprints of our pack. Something I was not f*****g pleased about. “Raihana said we teleported the boy here from under 300 miles, that could be in any direction although she thinks it’s north. I need someone to fly to Puerto Rico, we need to see what we can find from there.” I said, tapping the island on the map. My phone beeped and I picked it up knowing it was from Kia, but realising it was a voice message and a message underneath it. I didn’t click on it and read the message.

‘That message isnt something important but listen to it when you have a moment alone, tomorrow will do.

Now get back to the meeting.’ I smirked texting her a quick reply.

‘I will, and I’ll see you soon.’

“I’ll go.” Maria spoke suddenly, making my eyes snap towards her.

“You? No.”

“I’m not asking you, Alejandro, I’m stating it. I have a way with people whether you believe that or not.

Besides, with the correct magic I can appear as an ordinary human who is going on holiday. I will find out what I can, you need people you can trust and who will blend in. I’m that person.”

“It’s dangerous, Mom.” Rayhan added.

“Ya hayati… right now everywhere is dangerous, the Alpha isn’t in Puerto Rico so I will be alright.”

Rayhan frowned and I massaged my temples.

“I can go with Ms Maria.” Carmen offered.

“And I’ll take my guards, I think you need your men here Alejandro.” Maria replied firmly. “I could go too.”

Darien added.

Darien was of Alpha blood, and I knew he was stronger than many Alpha’s out there.

I glanced at Maria, what the f**k was with the women of my family… but this was Maria, she needed something to keep busy, she needed to know we still needed her. Because I knew, the moment she feels she’s no longer vital to our lives, she’ll let herself go… Rayhan frowned and I knew they were mind linking, and by the way his frown was deepening, his eyes flashing green constantly, I knew he wasn’t impressed. If it was Kiara, I wouldn’t want her to go… just being away from her and worrying about her.

Things were different with Maria, and as much as I wanted to keep her protected, she did need this.

“If Rayhan’s cool with it, I’m fine with it.” I said finally, still feeling hesitant.

Rayhan’s blazing green eyes snapped towards me, and he clenched his jaw. “Mom is not going. I think the women of my family have suffered enough. I’m not risking another.” With that he stood up and stormed out, leaving me feeling like f*****g c**p.

Our Family.

They were my family too… But he wasn’t wrong either… He was holding his s**t together despite the state his mate was in… I didn’t mean to send Maria just like that… F**k this.

“I’ll talk to him.” Maria arose from her seat gracefully, giving the table a small nod, her face as passive as ever. 1 Everyone remained silent, the sound of her heels echoing in the room as she left.

I ran my hand through my hair. I didn’t address the s**t that just went down, we went on to the next state of matters and planned some scouting to see if we could find any new leads. A good three hours later we decided to call it a night and I headed back home. Maria had sent a text saying she will be going, that she talked to Rayhan and he understood.

I f*****g hoped she wasn’t going against him. I would make sure she had some protection. I did not want s**t to go down or anything to happen to her, I’ll make sure she’s protected. She needed this, if I didn’t see her deteriorating before my eyes, I wouldn’t have agreed… I would talk to Rayhan tomorrow… I returned home and entered my bedroom to see Kiara was fast asleep already, I smirked wryly. I took too f*****g long…

I walked over to her, the duvet was pulled up to her chest, showing off the tip of her lacy bodysuit and I slowly pulled the blanket back, drinking up her s**y as hell body. She was so fuckable right now and I throbbed hard in my pants. I stopped, staring at her p***y clad in that tiny piece of lace and looked into her content peaceful face. She hadn’t slept so easily for a while… I wasn’t going to disturb her. She needed all the f*****g rest she could get. Silently I entered the bathroom and decided to wash up. Not to mention, get rid of my f*****g hard-on before calling it a night myself. 1 Trending Novels
