King Alejandro: The Return Of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

29  One Who Is Innocent

I looked at the young boy, feeling his pain despite the mask of indifference he wore. “Enrique, please take a seat and have some food. Can we talk?” “It’s odd that the Lycan is allowing you to interrogate your prisoner.” “You aren’t our prisoner.” I refuted, smiling warmly and raising my hand in surrender. “But I also know that we brought you here by kidnapping you.” I frowned in disapproval at this, and he raised an eyebrow. “You are the Queen Luna.” He stated after a moment, observing me. “The chica looks like you.”

I smiled and nodded.

“Yes, she does.” I replied, taking a seat on the bed and opening the basket that Kataleya had so excitedly brought along. “Do you feel better?” “You healed me.” He stated, sounding almost bitter. “You were in a lot of pain Enrique, how did you get hurt?” I asked unwrapping the turkey sandwich and the pastries. The smell wafting into the air and I hoped he would soon be tempted, or I at least wished he would be.

“I didn’t get hurt.”,

He meant that. I could sense that. “Did your father do that?” I rephrased. He stayed silent, I looked into his hazel eyes.

“This is the price of disobedience.” He replied quietly, turning away from me.

He believed what he said too…

My heart squeezed as I gazed at his back, noticing the scars on his neck. This boy had been through more than anyone of his age. “Enrique, do you wish to return to your father, or would you like to start a new life somewhere safe?” I asked gently. He turned back to me sharply, his brow furrowed. “I am the future alpha of the pack! I will return home, my padre is only doing the best for me. He only teaches me… How to be the best of Alphas…”

He looked down at his hand and he blinked furiously. I stood up, not caring about the consequences and pulled the child into my arms, hugging him tightly as I tried to control my own emotions.

He lost his hand for disobeying his father… for Kataleya. I knew that, even if he didn’t say it out loud.

“You will be the best Alpha, but not because of your father but because you are a good person.

” I whispered as he struggled to push me away but at the same time, it was clear he didn’t want to attack me.

His heart was racing, and I could sense his sadness.

“I don’t think so… I won’t even be able to run in wolf form.” He whispered bitterly, yanking free from my hold.

He shook his head refusing the food, yet his eyes were on me, clearly listening to the story. “Where there is a will, there is always a way.” I continued softly.

I don’t want to see her as long as I’m here.” He hissed resentfully. I nodded, feeling a pang of hurt. I understood Kataleya’s concern… but at the same time I understood

I brought these chocolates and snacks, perhaps you can offer them to him?” I suggested, passing her the bag. Her eyebrow shot up and she looked at me sceptically. “You actually want me to give a boy chocolates? I don’t think so.” “Zuzu!” I pouted. “Kia! I steal chocolates from boys, I do not give them.” She pouted back and I sighed. “Fine. I’ll give the chocolate…” She nodded as if this
