58 The Fear Within KIARA

“So how far along are you? Any chance it’s twins?” Raven asked Raihana. We were all sitting around the table, eating and chatting. There were a huge variety of dishes, from grilled platters, wraps, enchiladas, and much more, spread across the huge table before us. “Oh, it’s definitely one.” Raihana replied, kissing Chris.

I smiled as I sat between my twins. Although I didn’t remember anything about any of them, in the short time that I had spent with them, I already felt like I was one of them. I mean I was, but with no memories, it was daunting. I planted a soft kiss on top of my little Maleficent’s head and then one on Kataleya, who wore a deep plum sequined dress. She was still holding her teddy bear tightly in one arm and had refused to put it down to eat. “Kat, want me to break the chicken for you?” I asked quietly, seeing her using just her fork and one-handedly trying to break it.

She shook her head, her right arm tightening around her teddy. She was doing it again… refusing to use both her hands.

“Ok” I replied softly, caressing her soft sandy locks. I kept my voice low, not wanting to draw too much attention, although obviously everyone could hear. Next to Kat was Azura, and then Mom and Dad. Alejandro was opposite me, with Dante next to him.

Dante had stopped talking to me lately, and that unnerved me. Even now, when he looked up at me, I felt that rush of anger and fear rush through me. I broke eye contact, wondering what hold the Djinn had on me. Was it possible he was seeing everything through my eyes? Was he getting insight into everything going on around us? “Amore Mio.” I was pulled from my thoughts by Alejandro calling me. I gave him a small smile before I turned to Skyla, who was adding salad to her plate. “Want some dearie? It is good for you, my pretty…” She asked me, giving me a small sly smirk. “Sky, that would be the evil witch from Snow White, not Maleficent.” Azura decided to input. “Oh yeah… I’m a combination of villains!” Skyla decided, poking her fork at Azura. “Be careful, blue-eyed bat! I will have your heart and enjoy the beauty from devouring it!”

“Girls are so d**n loud.” Dante remarked, sipping his juice just as Renji knocked something over and Jayce pushed him, making the younger one begin to cry. “Jayce, behave.” Raven warned as Liam comforted Renji.

“Renji is baby.” Theo added, only for Mom to try to distract him from making matters worse, but Renji had heard and began crying louder.

“I take it back.” Dante sighed as Sienna giggled from where she sat next to Maria She looked pretty in a cream sequin dress, the multi-coloured sequins creating a green-blue shine to it,

Delsanra was sitting back in the armchair that had been placed near the table, and Rayhan was feeding her. The love they had for one another was obvious in their eyes, I smiled as Rayhan raised Delsanra’s hand to his lips, kissing her wrist. Even in the hardest of times, he was there for her.

I returned to my food, listening to the talking around me, when I felt a strong, intense rush of anger through me, one that was not mine. My heart skipped a beat and for a moment, it felt like an out-of-body experience. Everything faded, and when I looked around, I could hear nothing but the raging anger that was consuming me. A flare of pain rushed through me, and my eyes snapped to the knife on the table. What was going on? ‘Alejandro.’ I called him through the link, my voice sounding panicked. I could feel my wolf’s agitation and I stood up quickly.

He frowned, standing up instantly, and within seconds he was in front of me. His touch sent a wave of coolness through me and I smiled smoothly, noticing everyone watching us and not wanting anyone to get worried. ‘What is it?’ He asked, his dark eyes piercing into mine. ‘I just felt emotions that weren’t mine.’ I replied, locking my arms around his waist tightly.

When he was close, those feelings were at bay… I could no longer hear the voice in my head since he had made me his once more, but something told me he still lingered within some part of my mind. Was that why every time Dante and I locked eyes I felt something, because the thing inside of me was afraid of him?

If that was so, then why did he want Dante? I wish we knew of a way to kill him; I just hoped Alejandro found the answer. I felt useless as it was. “Want to go for a walk or something to clear your mind?” He asked quietly, cupping my face.

“Oh no, I’m fine.”

I was not going to ruin this dinner.

“Alright.” He pulled me close, kissing my neck. I bit my lip, stopping myself from moaning loudly. When he pulled away, I felt calmer, taking my seat once more.
