King Alejandro: The Return Of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

74 In The Cells ELIJAH 1 

I had just done the round of the pack grounds, when I had felt a searing pain that made me double over.

Scarlett

Fear enveloped me as the pain blinded me, making several men run to me, but soon it was gone, and I knew she was ok I hadn’t felt the bond snap… Fuck… Unlike the rest of the pack who were tied to Liam, my mate was the only one bound to me. She needed to be ok.

Whatever had happened had been a close call, and although I wanted to get someone to find out, they needed to focus on the battle… It took me a few moments to regain myself before I entered the Night Walkers’ Headquarters to go have a look to see if Kiara was ok. Doctor Callum was waiting for me inside, as he needed to administer the dose to keep her weakened and unconscious.

A few guards and others working were carrying on with their jobs, but the tension that hung in the air was obvious. Several gave me a polite nod as I walked past and headed down to the cells.

Two of the guards flanked the door, and Doctor Callum was already there, his kit in hand.

“Alpha Elijah.” “Doctor.” He gave a small nod and a forced smile, but it was obvious he didn’t like doing this. Neither did I, but there wasn’t much we could do but keep her sedated. I frowned deeply, remembering what Alejandro had said about Dante and what he was. It had been fucking shocking, to say the least, but it made sense. Dante was the only one with such a powerful aura from birth, even Alpha pups did not hold that. He knew far more than Liam and Kiara’s intuition… But the Djinn also knew his truth and the fact he wanted him meant he would go to any lengths to get him. We needed to make sure Kiara was kept unconscious no matter what.

I keyed in the code Alejandro had changed specifically so no one else knew it but me. I stepped inside, shutting the door behind Doctor Callum.

“We just need to keep her unconscious for a while longer. I do hope the king can deal with this threat immediately, so I don’t have to do this to my Queen.” Callum said gravely. It was taking a toll on him; I could see it in his eyes.

“I am sorry that you’re the one who has to do this considering you are a doctor, but it is for Kiara’s own sake as well.” I said quietly as we walked down the steps to the cold dark cells.

There she was, lying on a slab of silver, chains wrapped around her, her arms and ankles cuffed. It was almost as if she was simply sleeping, her heart beating steadily despite the fact that it was weaker than normal.

I unlocked the cell door and we stepped inside. The sound of the keys chinking echoed in the quietness.

I hated seeing her like this and I wondered how Alejandro must have felt having to leave his own mate beneath the grounds of his pack and go to battle… I had seen the pain in his eyes, but he remained strong, like always. The stains of dried blood around her wrists made me frown. She must have woken up at some point, as the restraints had been pulled at causing her to bleed. Callum opened his pack of supplies, walking forward when I suddenly grabbed his arm, pulling him back

“Wait.”

“Alpha-” He looked at me and I shook my head, motioning with my eyes at the restraints.

He frowned before following my gaze, his frown vanishing as he realised what I was pointing out.

Kiara should have been in a state where she couldn’t even wake up… let alone fight against her bindings… ‘GO’ I mouthed to Callum, taking the syringe from him and stepping closer to the table. I paused, my eyes flashing as I motioned for him to leave. If something happened, I needed to make sure we were locked in here. She couldn’t get out. The moment I was within reach, her eyes snapped open, deep orange burning brightly as she shot up, grabbing my neck

“Lock it!” I growled at Callum, aiming to slam the syringe into Kiara, but she knocked my hand aside, jumping up from the bindings she had already broken.

I cut the link, knowing Raven and Raihana would handle the rest, and I’ll handle my daughter. She smiled, a smile that was so much like Kiara’s that for a moment I wondered if she had any control. “What’s wrong? Scared that now I’m the queen you won’t be able to
