King Alejandro: The Return Of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

Beauty release ! ” He stated , coming over and taking my hand . | looked at him . He and Carmen were always

around.

Serena , Darien and Tia would often accompanytoo . | had returned to this pack four days after the battle

with Endora . Alejandro was kept at h, hooked up to the necessary drips and was checked on throughout the

day .

Even when | was working , someone was always checking up on him . Otherwise , | didn’t know how | would even

leave him .

| had stepped into Alejandro’s shoes with the help of Darien . Being an Alphas daughter | knew enough , with the

guidance and help from Alejandro’s men , | was managing . However , with each passing day

, I lost a bit more of who | was .

” | don’t think | need any more make up , Kevin . ” | murmured , ignoring the pain in my back . The baby moved a

lot and had a habit of digging into my spine . It was clear he was going to be a strong one , just like his Papa .

” Why not ? With such a beautiful face to play with . ” He said , linking arms with. Because who should | look

good for ?

There was a t| dressed up for myself , but the moment | fell in love , my life was n o longer my own . That

was my truth . I lived for Alejandro .... | wanted to look pretty for him ... I looked down at the t shirt | wore with

leggings .

None of my clothes fitted anymore , and although Serena and Kevin had begged to takeshopping or to at

least let them order scute maternity clothes, | refused . | didn’t want anything . | wore my mate's shirts , it

was all I wanted .

Him ... I missed his smirk , his dark , piercing eyes , the way he looked at....

The way h e held... Made love to... Fucked m e ... Talked to... | looked at my ring . The gorgeous

diamond sparkled . A symbol of the promise he had made to marry. ” Luna ... ” | looked up and saw the sad

look in Kevin's eyes .

"Yes 7 ” | asked . ” About the make - up , I'd say we should get sfor when Alpha wakes up .

” He said softly . | didn’t say anything , but no matter how | acted , my pack knew | missed their king . Despite

how hard I tried to hide it . Everyone tried to help, Raihana or Raven cdown to stay often , but it was

still so hard .

Things hadn't been . Aunty Monica had closed up and according to Damon , broke down often . But she was still

doing better than Grandma , whose health was deteriorating .

The last t| saw her, she looked as if she had aged ten years in the last few months . She was now living at

Moms , but it wasn’t easy . easy for anyone ; Dad was holding strong , and as for Mom herself , she was doing

her best despite being pregnant .

She was actually due a any day , and we were ready to welcour little bundle of joys into our family . Mom

hadn’t found out the gender , as Aunty Indy had said when she got pregnant she was going to keep it a surprise .

” Can | make my rounds at the hospital ? ” | asked Kevin .

He sighed . ” Aren't we going for a walk ? ” ” I'm their Luna , | think I should visit to see if | can- ouch ! .. Help . "|

finished with a wince , as my baby kickedhard . ” Oh, he is a tough one ! Your entire stomach moved !

” " At this rate , | feel I'll be early ! He's already trying to get out ! ” | exclaimed . ” Csit down for a moment .

” He helpedover to the closest log that was used as a bench by the kids of the pack .

| was due soon anyway ; a werewolf pregnancy was shorter after all . | sat down stroking my stomach , wincing

until he calmed down a little . ” What will you do for the upcoming Blood Moon Ceremony ?

I know Alpha Elijah wants you to cdown, since his pack is hosting the event this t. Have you decided ? ”

| looked at the sun that shone above us . It was the beginning of April and spring had arrived . What do | do ?

Mom was due as well ...

It was ideal to go , but | couldn't bring myself to leave Alejandro . ” | don’t want to- ” ” What do you mean you

don’t want to ?! You need to go ! ” Serena's voice cfrom behind. | looked at her and sighed . ” | can’t

leave .

"I said , my heart clenching with pain . ” Nonsense , if there is any change we will call you back . You need this ,

Kia . ” Serena said gently , sitting down next toand taking my hand . ” He wouldnt have wanted this .

"No , he wouldn't have . But how can | live without him ? | brushed away the tears that escaped my eyes . |

refuse to cry . ” Ok, I will go for two nights . ” | whispered . Just the thought of leaving him for two nights

squeezed at my chest .

Please , Goddess , help. Heal my Alejandro . | swear I'll never ask for anything else .

The Blood Moon Ceremony arrived , but this tthe roles had reversed , and | was getting Raven ready . She

was pale , as she sat before, allowingto get her ready . ” I'm not going . ” She said , suddenly pushing

away my hand gently as she stood up and backed away from. | looked at her, concerned . ” Raven ... “

"No, Kia ... I ... I don’t know , I'm terrified . ” She whispered . ” Because of your feelings ? ” | said quietly .

Although we didn’t talk too much about it, | knew her conflict between Liam and Damon .

| did not know what to hope or wish for . | just prayed whoever her mate was or both , that they'd accept it . But |

had also seen Liam look hurt at her and Damon's interaction .

Raven had been there for Damon after he lost his father , something that clearly affected Liam even more . | had

felt his turmoil . He tried several times to talk tobut it had only been last night when he askedif he

thought he had the chance of being mated to Raven . Raven had shifted on her birthday . Her wolf was stunning

yet unique , a mix of grey and black . But the thing that stood out was that her wolf form had two different colour

eyes just like Raven herself .” | don’t know what tonight will bring . | mean , maybe neither could be my mate . ”

She murmured .

This mating ceremony was hosted by Dad’s pack , and although it was smaller than the mating ceremony that

The Night Walker Pack held , it was still pretty big . ” You won't know until you get down

there . ” | said gently .

She sighed and sat down again . She looked stunning in a long slinky sequined black strapless dress , with a

thigh - high slit . It was backless , with just two straps holding it in place , with cut out sides showing off her

slender waist .

She had it paired with black heels and sultry make - u p with a deep maroon lipstick . Silver shimmer covered

her body , her neck was bare , and she wore large dangly earrings in her ears . | was dressed in an off - shoulder

fitted red dress with long fitted sleeves . The skirt had an open sheer layer that trailed behind.

| didn’t want to dress up , but | was attending as | was here and as the Queen, | had to appear in control . Alpha

Allen had thought it would be good for as well . people to see, carrying the future King I just wished ..

. I tried not to think of Alejandro , knowing I'd start crying . | smiled at Raven , forcing her to sit down s o | could

finish off her eyeliner . ” Selene will give you the best . ” | said softly . She nodded and placed her hand on mine .

" Thank you, Kia , for coming . | didn’t want to ask you ... but I'm glad you c.

I'm glad | did . She had always been there forand it was only fair that | am there for her. ” Any t. ” | said

, as she leaned over and caressed my stomach . ” I'm glad | got to see my nephew too .

He's going to be a big boy like his Daddy . ” She said , smiling proudly . | smiled as | added a little more

highlighter to her cheekbones . Finishing off with smakeup setting spray , | gave a small nod .

She was ready . RAVEN | walked hand in hand with Kiara . My nerves were kicking in big t. The party was

being held out in the open , lit up brightly with dazzling lights . The weather was gorgeous , not cold yet not hot

either .

My eyes were looking for two familiar faces . Would one of them be my mate ? | couldn’t see them in the sea of

young men and women all dressed up for this night . I moved my body to the music despite how nervous | was

feeling ,

when Kiara tapped. ” Want to get a drink ? ” She asked . | nodded , ” | think | need it . ” | said , and we both

walked towards the drink bar .

When we stopped , both of us were distracted by the chocolate fountain that was set up not far from the drinks .

A lavish array of dipping’s spread out in front of it . ” Chocolate . ” We both said in unison .

I laughed as we hurried over to the fountain instead , forgetting about the drinks . We both helped ourselves to a

stick and began selecting sitems . | added marshmallows , strawberries and brownie pieces to my stick .

"I have gained weight . ” Kiara said , a gentle smile on her face as she dipped her stick under the chocolate

before placing it on her plate and taking a bite . She hadn't , well , not much apart from on her stomach .

I knew she was trying to eat for the baby , but | also knew she was reminded and forced to eat most of the t.

I rarely saw her smile , and when she did , it held so much sadness that | wished I could take it all from her .

| would give up anything for her to be happy . | put my plate down and cupped her face , brushing away her

tears that escaped .

” You don’t want to ruin your make - up . ” | said softly . Although she had only worn a touch of mascara and

gloss . She nodded and | smiled . ” Besides , | need pictures ! Lots and lots .

” | said , turning back to my stick and dipping it under the chocolate . ” Ok . ” Kiara said as | licked my lips . Oh,

now this looks so good ... Food porn at its finest ...

| admired my plate before taking a huge bite , taking the marshmallow and a strawberry into my mouth at once .

Oops ... way too much . | could barely chew and Kiara giggled slightly . ” You look a sight .

” | simply nodded my agreement . Imagine my mate seeinglooking like this , chocolate dripping from my lips

, I needed a tissue . | put my plate down , about to pick sup when the most delicious mix of scents hit me

and | froze .

My chest pounded as I inhaled deeply . Roasted walnuts , fresh rain, spiced cinnamon and honey ... Scents that

drowned... Scents that were faintly familiar ... ” Oh hey, boys . ” Kiara said with a smile .

| turned slowly , my mouth still full of chocolate , as | stared at the duo before m e . My heart was thumping

wildly , Liam looked mesmerising in a grey suit , and Damon looked as handsin black .

Both oozed sexiness and if | thought they were handsbefore , Goddess , they were complete sex invites now

! Both of their eyes were glowing , fixed onwith a possessive look that made my core knot and my wolf howl

in happiness .

” Mate . ” They both said in unison . Kiara gasped , one hand clamping over her mouth . | swallowed , forcing

myself to eat the mouthful of chocolate , feeling dizzy and barely noticing when Kiara patted my mouth clean for
