King Alejandro: The Return Of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

Chapter 72

72 You’re Mine 

ELIJAH The silence that followed once the rest had left was deafening. The unease I could sense from Raihana and Raven was growing, and even the kids were quieter.

Azura was still in a strop from her little run-in with Leo, frowning as she sat there with her arms folded. She may be a feisty little one, but her stubbornness and the ability to hold grudges topped even Scarlett’s. She was staring at the floor, her chest heaving and her nostrils still flared.

Dante was lying down with his eyes shut, but I knew he was awake. His fists were clenched, and he had a frown on his face. The quintuplets, Ahren, Sienna, and Tatum, were playing with Raihana, who was keeping them occupied with magical bubbles. Bubbles that were floating around endlessly. “How long until they get there?” Raven asked me quietly. “A few hours more, it’s only been about one hour.” I replied, glancing out at the sky.

It was late afternoon now.

I didn’t blame them, knowing that Scarlett was out there… I felt frustrated and helpless. But it made sense that I was here. When it came to strength, I was ultimately stronger, and if anything happened here, we needed a strong defence.

We had several barriers placed around the pack the moment they’d left, barriers that Magdalene, Raihana, and one other witch had worked on. Barriers so strong that no one could come in or go out. Janaina had also placed a few more spells, so we would know if anyone approached the pack area.

The magic was so strong that I could feel it in the air, weighing down on us, and it made me physically sick

Kataleya was by the window clutching her teddy bear, which she had named after the Escarra pup. Skyla was watching some Disney villain kids movie, but she was more distracted than focused, stroking the cat she had abducted from somewhere.

I was certain it belonged to one of the Delta’s kids but… she was adamant it was now hers.

“How about pizza?” I suggested, trying to lighten the mood. “Barrier?” Raihana reminded me.

“I know, but we can make it together. What do you girls think?” I suggested to the twins and Azura. Azura frowned deeply. “I don’t want to. When will Mama be back?” “I’m not sure, but how about we make pizza and we save her a few slices?” I suggested, standing up. “I don’t want to do anything; my life is so hard.” skyla said, dropping onto her stomach.

Well, there went that plan. “You go to Delsanra, I’ll mind the kiddies.” Raven said to Raihana.

She nodded, standing up as Tatum began crying. “Come here, Tatum.” Raven cooed, picking him up. “Thanks, babe.” Raihana smiled at her before she left the room. Ahren hurried after her, and she picked him up. “I’ll take him with me.”

I looked around, trying to hide the unease inside of me. I couldn’t help but wonder which of those men and women I saw earlier would not return.

Just like all these kids, many of those who went had families of their own.

“Alright, come on, enough of this gloominess. Let’s do something fun.” I said, standing up. Skyla groaned, squeezing the cat and stroking its head, before pausing and smiling suddenly. “I want to sew.” She said. Although I knew she was up to something, I nodded. Was it because she probably knew I’d struggle with this? 2 “Sure.” I said, running my fingers through my hair. “I want to make a rag doll.” Azura piped in suddenly, her head jerking up towards me. “Good luck, Grandad.” Dante added, his eyes still half closed. “I’m sure Claire or Clara will have everything you’ll need.” “Oh, I can help too! Let’s get sewing!” Raven added excitedly. “I want to make Kiké a shirt too. Will you help me, aunty?” Kataleya asked Raven, her eyes hopeful. 2

I wasn’t sure if this was a good idea, but at least all three were all for it. It’ll keep their minds off of everything, at least, and that was how we all ended up sitting down and beginning on the three individual projects.

“Of who?” She asked curiously. “Dante’s ugly cousin.” She stated. “Oh? which quintuplet are you talking about? I was assuming you’re the only ugly one in my life.” Dante replied haughtily. “Hey, the Westwoods are not ugly! And I am not ugly, unlike you and your ugly cousin!” “Us Rossi’s tend to be very handsome, actually.” Dante replied. “She means Leo.” Skyla cackled. “Wait! Do you need like a hair of his or something?” 1. “No, not at all, it’ll work anyway.” Azura replied. Shoving wool into the body, the half detached head lolling.
