26. Her Strong Belief KIARA Dinner had been pleasant , it felt nice to have a full house , and for fleeting moments we were able to forget the weight of everything going on around us . I healed Delsanra , and although it did nothing to the curse it did give her a little energy , another reason I was glad they were here .

I had just tucked the girls into the bed , Raihana was making Tatum and Ahren sleep and the rest of the adults were downstairs . Mom was making hot drinks for us all whilst I made sure Dante was settled . He never used to want me to put him to bed , but he didn’t argue over it since the turn of events . I ran my hand through Dante’s hair ,

kissing his forehead gently as I poured my healing into him , but it did nothing for him . I sighed heavily , looking at my sleeping baby boy and fought back my tears You are going to get better . I wish there was more that I could do for him , for Delsanra … My phone beeped , I picked it up from the bedside drawer and smiled ,

seeing it was a message from Raven . I unlocked : my phone and clicked on it . ‘ Call me if you have a moment . ‘ It read , followed by a purple and black heart emoji . I hit the call button and she answered almost instantly . ” Hey Kia , how are you ? ” ” Hey hun , I’m ok . Just getting by I guess , how are the kiddies ? ”

” They are all fine , I just got them to bed and thought I’d call . How are you and the family today ? ” I smiled , having five toddlers to handle was no small feat . ” We are all doing ok . We have some answers , I’m not sure if Liam’s told you , but Kat had a name and a pack name , so we are getting somewhere . ” 11 ” I’m glad , no Liam didn’t mention that . He should be coming back tomorrow . I’m thinking of you . You know , if there’s anything you need me to do , I’m here , or

if you just need to vent . ” 11 I knew she was ; Liam was currently at the burnt down country home trying to scavenge for any hint or anything that could help . ” You two are already doing so much , I mean you have the kids and the pack . Mom and Dad have been here , Liam’s not . home . ” 11 ” I can handle the kids with ease ! Besides ,

I do have help , but they do miss Zuzu . She’s the ringleader and without her , I think they do feel it . I’m just hoping things are sorted soon . ” Her tone was softer towards the end , her worry and concern for us clear in her voice . ” I’m sure it will be . ” I replied . ” Thank you , Raven , for everything . ” ” Nothing to thank me for , that’s what I’m here for . ” We ended the call shortly after , and I smiled down at the phone . She was such a good friend , goddess .

I’m grateful that she came into my life … I tilted my head ; I couldn’t remember how we became friends … Did we become friends after she was mated to my brother ? or did Pknow her from before ? I brushed my hair back , frowning , Pondering over this for a moment . I shook my head and stood up , being extremely careful not to disturb Dante , and silently left the room , heading back downstairs . The sound of my heels echoed in the silence .

he was not going to listen . I turned the corner when suddenly someone grabbed my elbow , spinning me around and straight into their strong arms . I smiled as the intense sparks coursed through me , his intoxicating scent hitting me hard . I closed my eyes for a moment , enjoying it as I wrapped my arms around his neck . I looked up at him slowly , my heart

were having far too many of them . He didn’t reply for a moment

his lips were on mine , one hand tangling in my hair as he yanked my head back and kissed me roughly . We broke apart after a few moments , the intensity of the kiss leaving me lightheaded . ” You know , if you two are done , the drinks are getting cold ! ” Raihana’s voice came from the living room . I heard a light chuckle , and I blushed , realising the door was open . ” Babe , you can just keep the drinks hot . ” Chris’s drawl came . ” That’s not

. Rayhan was seated in the corner with Delsanra in his lap , a blanket over her shoulders as he cradled her body , running his fingers through her hair . Maria was next to them carrying little Sienna

over Dad’s . Chris and Raihana were on the other sofa , their arms around one another . Alejandro took a seat in the armchair , and I picked up the remaining two mugs , which were steaming hot – something I

, even Sienna was falling asleep in her grandmother’s arms . I took a sip of my hot chocolate while resting my head on Alejandro’s shoulder

looked at Alejandro , and I looked up at him , hoping he’d reconsider . ” Soon , let me just finish this drink . ” Alejandro replied , glancing at me for a split moment . I sat up straight , looking at Mom and Dad . Everyone in

lips . ” But it’s a child . ” ” 1 ” Who is in a bad position . This may be better for him , Kiara . ” Mom reasoned quietly . Ok , even she was ok with this …. I looked at my acrylic nude nails and then up at Raihana and Maria . ” Am I the only one who isn’t ok with this

but we have to get it done . ” Maria sighed softly , Where do you plan to keep the child ? ” ” In a room , safe . ” Alejandro’s reply was curt and cold . 11 ” You mean as a prisoner . If he’s a little older than Dante , say nine or ten even

have lasting consequences … We’ve seen it happen before . ” I glanced at Rayhan , who frowned looking down . ” But I

a hand on his cheek , soothing him . I didn’t say anything else ; I was outnumbered on this one … The urge to tell them to carry on and that I would not be a part of this was on the tip of my lips , but if they were going to bring a child here , then I wanted to reassure him that he was going to be ok . That we were not going to hurt him . I remained silent after that , getting up from Alejandro’s lap I placed my mug down , but I

until we entered the kitchen . ” Kiara , I’m sorry . ” She said coming over as I placed the mugs
