King Alejandro: The Return Of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

73 A Son’s Despair

ALEJANDRO It was as if time had fucking slowed, flames surrounding Scarlett and the fucker. I could see her skin melting away to reveal a raw layer beneath it. I watched as she plunged her hand into his chest fearlessly, but my stomach twisted the moment I saw his clawed hand ripping into her chest too. He gripped her other arm, crushing the wrist of her hand that was trying to bury itself into his chest. He was clearly unharmed by her attempt. His eyes blazed and I saw the determination in them, knowing he was ready to kill.

Fuck no.

Not under my fucking watch. I was by her side in a flash, grabbing hold of the fucker’s hand before he managed to rip her heart from her chest. It fucking burned like a bitch to touch him. He was fucking powerful, his eyes were blazing with unspeakable fucking power and his aura swirling around us like a fucking tornado. So, this was the man behind everything. “Well, well, well… The Lycan king himself still came to battle even when he’s so weak…” He hissed venomously.

I’m still fucking stronger than you.

But I couldn’t say anything in my Lycan form. Scarlett’s face was pale as she gripped his wrist, trying to stop him from wrenching her heart. I held on fucking tight, making sure he didn’t penetrate her any further. His fingers were almost completely in her chest now, slowly pushing forward. She coughed up blood as I used all my strength. I aimed a kick at him, only for him to block it. It was then that a strong wave of powerful blue fire created a huge force-field between us, instantly easing the heat.

Liam I took the chance and sliced the fucker’s hand right off with my dagger.

That’s for the pup.

He roared in anger, scooping Scarlett up with the hand still buried in her chest. I jumped away as a huge force shattered Liam’s barrier and threw us back. I shielded Scarlett’s body as we both hit the ground brutally. My head slammed against the rocky ground, sending spasms of searing pain through me, and I hissed.

Fuck, I wasn’t up to my normal standards…

I was forced to shift back, feeling blood in my mouth as I rolled over, placing Scarlett on the ground slowly. She coughed up blood, I looked down at her chest to see she was already healing, but that hand was still stuck in her chest. Fuck

“Don’t look!” She growled, despite the fact that she looked like death and couldn’t even sit up. I raised an eyebrow. I had seen plenty of naked women. Was she seriously worried about that right now? I was looking at her damn injury.

“Nice piercings.” I remarked, unable to stop myself from trying to piss her off. “Hold the fuck still.” 5

As expected, she gave me a cold glare, covering her nips. I frowned, looking down at the burnt, disgusting hand that I needed to remove.

“I’m going to take it out.” I told her, impressed that she was still conscious. She nodded, closing her eyes. I grabbed her shoulder with one hand, holding her down and placing my knee on her stomach, before I yanked the hand from her chest. That was fucking sickening. The smell of blood and burnt flesh filled my nose.

She hissed in pain, her eyes blazing as she groaned in agony, blood splattered everywhere as I tossed it aside. She let out a whimper of pain and rolled over onto her side. I could see she was already healing. Damn. I think she heals a lot faster than I do. “Thanks for saving me.” She said, sounding a lot more normal again. “Just don’t do that shit again. Stay here until you’re ready. We’ll go at it again.” I added quietly. She nodded. “Just give me a couple of minutes.” She replied hoarsely. + I promised Elijah I’d keep her safe… and I plan to.

Standing up, I turned back to the commotion all around us. Wolves in all directions were engaged in battle but the enemy side was relentless and didn’t seem to be dying. 1

I saw Leo’s huge wolf. It was almost on par with Rayhan’s. He still had a few years to grow and he wasn’t Alpha yet… but I could sense his power radiating off of him as he slayed wolves without hesitation. I could see he was sticking close to Marcel, and realised he actually did think I would let him die…

I took a deep breath and mind linked three of my warriors who were closest, including Carmen, to shield Scarlett until she healed. Rayhan came over, his green eyes blazing, blood dripping from his fur and teeth that were holding some sort of fabric, which he placed around Scarlett’s shoulders

Ever the gentleman

I turned away, knowing she was fine, and looked at the main target once more.

This fucker needs to yo down…

I assessed the carnage, trying to see how we could get close to him and actually do some damage Wolves clashed with wolves in every direction. I needed the help of the witches. They were fully protected and offered our kind protection too. I knew that without them, we would probably have had a lot more losses by now.

I glanced towards Maria. She was fighting a few wolves, but she wasn’t overly exerting herself, saving herself for the last and final job… Darien wasn’t far from her, and I knew he had the dagger, ready to pass it to her when the time came…

Four of the Black Storm pack warriors surrounded her, those were the ones we’d have to handle when the time came… They had been assigned by Raf to protect his Luna and until now they kept that job. I turned to the fucker, my eyes blazing with hatred. “What the fuck do you want? We were willing to pay the debt if you told us what it was.” I growled, launching myself at the Crimson King, trying to buy us some time. I knew exactly what the back story was, but something told me the Escarra’s revenge was far gone and left behind. All that remained was the Djinn and his hunger for power.

Once again, a blast of fire threw me back, this time I was ready and jumped aside as the ground trembled. Two witches raised a barrier between us and his eyes flashed.
