King Alejandro: The Return Of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

MARIA

“So, we’ll follow secretly and keep hidden away.” Marcel was saying, the bedroom door was open as I finished getting ready for the evening. I had chosen a strapless lace beige dress that reached just below my knees, curled my hair, and slipped on a pair of matching beige heels. I wasn’t wearing any jewellery, and as I applied my makeup, making sure to cover up my mate mark, my mind once again went to my love. My wolf’s whimper in my mind squeezed at my heart, but what could I do? There was nothing that could take away the pain of the fact that he had died protecting me. I should have died that day, not him.

I closed my eyes, holding the lipstick in my fingers tightly. It took me a moment for that anguish to calm within me, and exhaling softly, I continued to apply my make-up.

“Yeah, we have a locator on Aunty, we just need to be careful.” Liam agreed with Marcel.

I had messaged the man, who I learned was named Carlos, and he was going to meet me at the corner. I had told him, that my ‘husband and stepson’ were going to be going out for the night and I wouldn’t mind him showing me around. Of course, he had jumped at the offer.

I just hoped we got answers, I was carrying my bag with a few items that may come in use. However, I also had some weapons on me. Down the back of my dress I had hidden two thin blades, and the few pins I had used in my hair to hold my curls to the side were dipped in poison. I walked out into the sitting room of our suite, only for Marcel and Liam to stop talking. “Wow, you look gorgeous, Aunty.” Liam smiled. “And very young.” Marcel added, scratching his beard. “I hope this man behaves.”

“I assure you; you don’t need to worry. No one gets to misbehave with me.” I replied with a small smile.

“Passive-aggressive, I like it.” Liam winked at me.

“Not at all, just stating facts. I’ll be reporting to Raven on your behaviour.” I threatened jokingly, making him grin. Well, if anyone did cross the line I don’t forgive easily. “Does Alejandro know what you’re doing?” Marcel asked. “I’m not a child. Now you two should get going.” I glanced at the clock on the wall and they both stood up.

They say the devil tricked him… he didn’t give him the full revenge he wanted… He could not kill one of the Rossi’s, until the time is right… You know… That’s where our Alpha has gone… They say… I shouldn’t be saying this…

If this was true… This Crimson King was a puppet for the Djinn, who was hell-bent on getting what he wanted. “What is it that the Djinn wants?” I asked, my heart pounding as I stared into his eyes. “The blood of the beast.” He whispered, so low I could barely hear, I leaned in. His eyes looked haunted, sending chills
