Chapter 64

64 Bindings Of Silver ALEJANDRO I hated seeing the fear on her face as she put distance between us, running to the door.

“LIAM!” She shouted, pulling the door open, turning and rushing to my side. She hesitated, falling to her knees a few feet from me. “Alejandro, baby, are you ok?” She asked, reaching out, then hesitating as Liam and Raven entered. “I’ll get help.” Raven murmured, running off. “Alejandro.” Liam was by my side, and although my entire body was fucking burning up and felt like it was being fucking torn apart from inside, I was in my fucking senses. “Take care of her.” I growled, staggering to my feet. “I’m fine, Amore Mio, calm down.” I wanted to pull her into my fucking arms, but she was fucking scared of being near me and I did not want to make her even more panicked. “I’m going to get some antidote.” I heard Liam say as he lifted Kiara to her feet, taking her out of the room with him. I could feel my body fighting it and the urge to shift took over. A menacing growl that I knew filled every comer of the mansion ripped from my throat as I transformed.

“Al!” Darien’s voice came.

I turned as he waved two bottles of antidotes. Something told me those fuckers wouldn’t work, but I still grabbed them in my huge, clawed hand and downed them. Nothing I still fucking felt like shit. ‘I’m fine.’ I growled through the link, sitting on the bed in Lycan form.

“Uncle!”

‘Tell her not to try healing me, this could be the exact same shit as to what happened with Delsanra and Dante.’ I commanded through the haze.

“Raihana, you can’t heal him.” I heard Darien say as my vision darkened.

She was arguing but someone took her away. The last thing I saw was Elijah and Scarlett enter and then everything went black -==–

I opened my eyes groggily, my body was fucking killing but it wasn’t as bad as it had been earlier. The sun was still out, which meant I hadn’t been out for long. I sat up, squinting and I was about to get out of bed when Scarlett placed her hand on my shoulder.

“I do not want to see you naked ever again. Stay in bed.” She almost growled. 1 Seriously? “Is Elijah’s prick that fucking small that seeing my big dick scared you?” I shot back • I heard someone let out a sharp, irritable exhale and turned to see Darien and Elijah there. “He’s perfectly fine if he can run his mouth.” Elijah glared. * I smirked. He didn’t deny that I was bigger than him. 1 “How long was I out?” I asked, resting back against the cushions and pulling the duvet over my waist.

I wasn’t planning on shifting, my pants and fitted boxers were indeed gone. “Just over an hour. How are you feeling?” Darien asked. “I won’t lie and say that I’m not in any pain, but it is better than before. Did you guys give me something or some shit?”

“Something? Try several things… a few enchantments which didn’t include direct magic from Raihana, so don’t get angry. Every antidote in existence. We even tried Scarlett’s blood.” Darien replied, frowning at me. I could tell from his pale skin colour that he was shaken. “What worked?”

“I don’t think anything worked, I think your body just fought it.” Scarlett answered. “Where is she?” I asked, I needed to see her.

Silence.

“I asked, where the fuck is Kiara?” “In the cells. She asked to be put there.” Elijah answered quietly. His pain was unmasked, and I didn’t give a fuck about Scarlett’s trauma of seeing me fucking naked. Getting out of bed, I crossed the room, hearing her turn away sharply. I went through to the dressing room and grabbed a pair of sweatpants. “And you all did just that?” I asked, re-entering the bedroom after grabbing a pair of sneakers. Just that walk was fucking exhausting, but I was not going to let it get to me. “You should have seen her state, I wouldn’t want my daughter locked up if there was another solution,”

Scarlett said icily. “But she needed this for her own sanity.”

Yeah, I still didn’t give a shit.

I left the room even when they called me. I needed to see her.

“Al!” Darien caught up with me. “You can barely hold yourself together.”

I growled, my eyes blazing as I looked at him.

“I am fucking fine.” I hissed, “You locked your fucking Luna away.” “Under her command…” He said quietly.

I know that. But it didn’t mean it made it any fucking easier.

We left the mansion and the moment we got to the cells I started scanning each one. “She’s in the cells on the lower floor.” Darien said hesitantly. “Why?” I asked trying to control my rage. “Her orders.” “Stay here.” I warned, taking the keys and unlocking the metal barred door. Entering the cold corridor, I headed down the stone steps to the lower floor. A place that was entirely made of silver and stone. Kiara was standing in the far cell, her arms wrapped around her waist as she stared at the ground, her scent overpowering the smell of silver, wolfsbane, and damp. My fucking queen… “Amore Mio.” “Alejandro!

Thank the goddess you are ok!” She exclaimed, running to the bars and grabbing hold of them, only to flinch before letting go and hiding her hands behind her back The emotions that ran through me were far too much to put into words, seeing her in this place… She was the queen yet here she was in the cells which were reserved for the worst of criminals…

I walked towards the bars, glancing at the chains that hung from the floor and ceiling behind her. To my irritation, I saw her feet were tied to the chains on the ground. She shouldn’t be here. It was making me physically sick, seeing her in this fucking environment. “Show me your hands.” I commanded, my voice holding a dangerous edge, but she shook her head.

“I’m fine.” She replied stubbornly, yet her voice was as sexy and soothing as ever.

“Kiara.”

Her eyes flashed with hatred, and I knew she was still battling for control.

“Leave.” She said, closing her eyes.

“When is it ever that way between us?” I asked quietly, unlocking the cell door. “If one of us pushes the other away, the other doesn’t listen.” I left the keys in the door knowing I needed to be careful, right now she was stronger than me.

“Alejandro! Stay away!” She growled backing away from me. I closed the gap between us. “No.You’re mine, amore mio, and there is nothing that can fucking keep me from you. Not even the Goddess herself, so what’s a fucking Djinn gonna do?” I asked arrogantly. Her eyes flashed, but within the purple, I saw orange.

Fucker.

She only stopped when her back hit the stone wall behind her, the chains dragging taught from around her ankles. Fucking silver chains… She was wearing jeans, but I knew they would still be affecting her.

“Alejandro just listen, please, if you love me!” Her claws were extended, she was about to dig them into her own thighs to control herself, but I was not having her self-harming herself again.

She had stabbed herself earlier to stop herself. I grabbed her wrists, pinning them to the walls by her head, making her gasp. Her eyes returned to her beautiful blue-green and I pressed my forehead to hers, relishing the sparks that coursed through me.

“We are going to get through this, because metres or miles apart, we will always be together. Just hold on for a little longer and I will fucking handle this fucker.” I growled, my eyes blazing red. 2 Her pounding heart calmed, and her eyes shut. A small hint of a smile crossed her face, and I knew that she had lost the battle for now. “Are you ready to die?” She asked in a cold, quiet tone, opening her eyes. The glint of orange had covered the blue in her eyes, bleeding into the green. “For my family, if it comes to it, then yeah, I’m ready. The fucking question is, are you ready to be sent back to the fucking pits of hell?” I asked coldly. “Or better, to destroy you into fucking oblivion.” “It’s not easy to get rid of me, let alone kill me.” “Yet you are bound. If you really were as fucking powerful as you act, you would have come here. You would be able to take Dante, but you can’t. I’m not sure why, but you aren’t as fucking powerful as you like to pretend.” I hissed.

The urge to rip him apart consumed me and I couldn’t wait for the fucking day we ended him.

I had hit a nerve, a look of pure hatred and evil crossed Kiara’s face, an expression I had never seen on her face. Ever. Even when angry, there is no evil within her.

I will fix this, I’ll destroy him. Just hold on beautiful.

Even if she was pushed to the corner of her mind, I would save her from it.

“You don’t know what you are talking about.”

“Oh I fucking do, and the fact you are getting pissed off, just means I hit the fucking nail on the head.

What the fuck do you want with Dante?” A smirk twisted on her face, she looked at me with contempt but didn’t answer. Well fine. Two can play this shit, I was not going to let it rile me up. “The next time we talk… it’s going to be face to face, not when you are using my woman to hide behind like the fucking coward you are.” I growled threateningly. I “Let’s hope I don’t kill her down here, after all… I will have no use for her if she’s in the cells.”

That was it. “Fuck you.” Her eyes flashed purple, I saw her struggle to take control as the Djinn tried to rip free from my hold, elongating her claws and pulling one hand free. My stomach twisted as I realised, he was aiming for her heart. Not under my fucking watch. I growled, slamming her hand back against the wall, my aura rolling off me. “Tie me.” Kiara groaned as she struggled. The red from her chest injury was beginning to coat her top once again. She wasn’t healed as it was. She needed to stay calm. I didn’t argue, pulling her to the middle of her room as she struggled against me. It would be a fucking lie if I denied that she was fucking making it hard for me. I could taste blood in my mouth again. I was still weak, I heard Darien enter the cells, but I didn’t spare him a glance.

I managed to clamp her wrist into the cuffs, slamming them shut as she tried to bite into my wrist once more, the clang echoing through the empty cell. “I will kill you!” She growled as I pulled the chains tight, so her arms were spread wide and there was no risk left of her harming herself. “I’ll look forward to it.” I replied, tightening her ankles so her legs were slightly apart. “No one is hurting what belongs to me.” 1 She struggled, pulling at the chains, and I knew that they would fucking weaken her. Maybe keeping her unconscious might be better. I’ll talk to Callum.

With those final words, I tore the lower half off her top and took hold of her chin.

“I’m going to put an end to this shit, I fucking promise you Amore Mio.” I said quietly, kissing her plush lips softly. Hoping that deep inside she could feel my emotions, letting the barrier down between us. Her eyes softened, and for a moment she kissed me back, before I moved away.

“I’m going to tie your mouth in case he tries to get you to bite your tongue off.” I said quietly, placing the torn shirt between her plump lips.

She nodded slowly as she fought back her tears.

Be brave, my queen.

I tied her mouth, inhaling the scent of her sandy brown hair. The scent of her shampoo mixed with her own intoxicating scent was soothing and, leaning in, I planted a soft kiss on her forehead ‘Keep strong, keep fighting.’

She nodded.

‘I love you.’ Her soft reply came.

‘Love you more than life itself.’ I caressed her cheek before I stepped away, putting my walls back up.

I was fucking breaking inside, but I wouldn’t show her that, because no matter what, I would fucking save her. Turning, I left the cell, locking the door after me, I didn’t look back now. I wouldn’t be able to leave her if I did. I would stay down here by her side if I could. but I needed to lead our army and destroy this bastard. It took every inch of my willpower not to turn and break her out Seeing her in that state having to do that to her…

It was so fucking painful that I was finding it hard to breathe Wait for me, because it’s high fucking time I unleashed hell and showed this bastard that no one messes with Alejandro Rossi or his family.
