King Alejandro: The Return Of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

Chapter 62

62 There Was Once A Princess 

KIARA

It was the following day, Alejandro had looked restless and had been distracted all morning. Although he had his block up, whatever was worrying him was obviously something he didn’t want to share with me.

It did hurt, but I knew he had his reasons… I myself felt so uncertain after what had happened with Dante last night. I wanted to tell Alejandro about it, but I wasn’t managing to get him for even a moment alone. Plus, I didn’t want him to get too worried, however I wasn’t stupid enough to keep silent about it.

“I’ll see you later, Amore Mio.” He cupped my face, giving me a deep kiss before he pulled away.

I nodded, unable to even argue. I had to wait for a few minutes, knowing he was busy.

“I love you.” I whispered. “Love you more.” He gave me a s**y smirk, placing another kiss on my lips.

His actions made me close my eyes, enjoying the feel of his touch before he walked away.

“Are you ok?” Mom’s soft voice came as she placed her hands on my shoulders from behind, she looked at me with concern. Well, I couldn’t tell Alejandro, but I could tell Mom at least. “Just something happened last night and it’s unnerving me.” I sighed, turning towards her. Mom smiled, brushing my hair off my face.

“Come on, let’s go somewhere else.” She said, and I nodded as she led me through to the back garden.

Taking a seat on a bench, Mom turned towards me. She remained silent, waiting for me to start talking “Last night I touched Dante and it burned… and then I had this terrifying urge to grab a knife. ” I whispered, my heart pounding at the horrible thoughts and actions that had tempted me.

Mom’s smile vanished. She frowned, her eyes flashing silver before she placed a hand on my

shoulder, giving it a comforting squeeze.

“There is no way you would ever do that. Don’t feel bad Kia, that is not you wanting to do that. We are all here for you, and if it ever feels like it’s getting stronger, we are all around you. You will never be alone.” She said softly, hugging me tightly. I closed my eyes and nodded, hugging her back. Inhaling her comforting, warm scent. No matter how old we are, we will always need our parents’ comfort…

“Mama!” Azura’s voice came as she stormed into the garden, hands on her hips. “Yes baby?” Mom replied, turning to her.

She sighed dramatically and came over to us both, looking at us both before shaking her head.

“Seriously, you two are out here, and me and Sky are trying to get Kataleya to come play with us.” She complained.

Mom and I both frowned, as worry flitted through me. I didn’t like to see her so broken. I may not have my memories, but from the videos I have been watching, she was a happy child.

Skyla ran over too and nodded in agreement with Azura.

“She’s doing it again.”

“Doing what?” Mom asked gently, despite the concern on her face.

“Using one hand to do everything, she was buttoning her cardigan and she was refusing to put her teddy down, and then when I said I’ll help her, she refused and was going to cry.” Sky explained, her eyes were full of sadness and worry. I sighed heavily, feeling the pain in my chest only growing. “You girls play, I’ll go to Kat, ok?” I said, reaching over and giving both their cheeks a slight pull. “Owie!” Skyla giggled before smiling and giving me a nod. “Ok, Mama!” The girls ran off, and I stood up.
