King Alejandro: The Return Of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

Chapter 78

Chapter 78 Was It Too Late ALEJANDRO

I shut the door to my office behind me, Leo was already sitting in one of the chairs, his long legs sprawled out in front of him, hands in his pockets and his face set in a cold frown. Rayhan walked over to the window, leaning against the wall, and crossed his arms. As much as I didn’t want to do this right after that hell of a battle, knowing there were families who were mourning their losses… knowing that I had a shitload to do in the morning and so much fucking more, I also couldn’t let this chance slip away. I knew Leo would be gone before morning came; I knew him enough to know that. The fact he and Rayhan worked together gave me some hope, and the fact he stayed in the same place as Rayhan without causing issues for a few hours. “I ain’t got all night.”

Leo said as I dropped into my office chair, damn my body was fucking exhausted. “Yeah well, I’ll get to it. You both know why I’ve called you here. I want you both to say exactly what you feel, but I want you both to listen whilst the other talks, alright? No fucking interrupting.” I commanded, my alpha command weighing down on them. I saw Leo’s eyes flash with irritation. “Fine.” Rayhan said quietly. “I’m not forcing you to agree. Just give each other a chance.” I added quietly, knowing Leo hated any form of command.

I sat back, taking out a cigarette from a packet, about to put the box away when instead I offered it to my younger nephew. After a moment’s hesitation, he took one, and I lit his before lighting my own. “Want one?” I asked Rayhan, who simply raised an eyebrow. “No thanks.” He said before opening the window next to him. Leo scoffed as he sat back, and I ran my hand through my hair. Well here goes… “We all know what Delsanra went through at the hands of Endora, I’ve had this conversation with you, Leo.

Do you want me to go over it?” “Na, I know, I was there remember? I witnessed all the shit that went on there.” He said coldly, his eyes becoming ice. I frowned and nodded. “Very well, so you know that she was beaten to within an inch of her life on a daily basis, made to do Endora’s biddings, and if she refused, she was simply beaten further?” I asked quietly. There were the fucking hunters who had done worse to Delsanra, but Rayhan had hunted and killed them all… We had lost Raf because of that fight, there were also corrupt witches who had helped the hunters… I know Rayhan hated the hunters with even more vengeance than he had the Sangue Pack, but he had killed all those involved. I sighed heavily.

“There were many who hurt her willingly, many who were commanded to hurt her, blackmailed or out of fear of being beaten themselves, for survival… and those who were brave enough to refuse were then compelled under magic to hurt her. These rogues were all gathered by Endora, and she built her army by fear and control.” I looked between both of them, both were quiet until now. “Rayhan did what he felt was right, seeing what his mate had gone through would fucking affect anyone; we would destroy the world for our mates. The need to protect our mates is so fucking intense that until you have a mate you won’t understand that. I’m not saying that it was completely right, I’m just saying when your mate his hurt you don’t see anything but to make it better.”

I said quietly. I could feel Leo’s anger rising, but he didn’t speak, although I knew even with my command he could if he wanted. “Rayhan, do you want to put your points forward, do you want to tell Leo exactly what happened when you went to the Sangue pack long ago?” He gave a curt nod before slipping his hands into his pockets. “I first took the files from you after promising that I wouldn’t show them to anyone. You were reluctant to give them to me. I then asked Delsanra which ones had hurt her, she pointed out those that she remembered and then we went to the Sangue pack, I had told Marcel which men it was and so they were already gathered.” He sighed, turning to look out at the moon.

had been forced to hurt her and to not do this.” “But you didn’t listen.” Leo said. Rayhan frowned. “They couldn’t just get away with it. I first separated those who were forced and had felt guilt to step forward, deciding they would

I had thought and heard, but still, Leo didn’t seem to look surprised, almost as if he knew that. I frowned as Rayhan sighed. “I let them go, that group felt remorse and had been under spells. There was an older man who even

going to talk about this because it’s obvious you both will never fucking get it. Dad was born a rogue, he knew nothing but what Endora taught him. Most of those men were born to rogues that Endora gathered. That’s the only life we knew. Obey or be killed. Survival, it’s the basic instinct all living things have.” He licked his lips, exhaling sharply as he stood up.

he shook his head. “I’m not fucking done.” He said quietly, his eyes flashing. There was something different in the way he was talking, and deep down I worried that if I didn’t get through to him tonight, my chance would be gone… I nodded, motioning for him to carry on “You know those men that you killed? The ones that hurt her willingly? Do you know they were told to beat a witch, which if you forget was the common enemy for us werewolves?

good in them, Del and Ri showed us that not all witches were bad. We were wrong to judge them all as one.” I said quietly. He nodded. “Yeah… but how do you explain that to a man

a fresh start, because I don’t agree with Rayhan there. They deserved a chance at a new life-” I began. “Sure, but you took that promise right fucking back when you gave him access to those files! You gave us so much fucking hope, that me and the other kids were so fucking excited to live a life like we heard others had. We’d get to go

mentioned it but years after the effect of that massacre, and what Rayhan did was a fucking massacre, it haunted us. When you killed all those men, you killed their mates. You made so many children orphans. Dad is at fault, you are at fault, and above all. Ravlian is at fault. I don’t care about the reasons, the way that was handled was wrong. I watched those killings, those beatings through a

compelled, who had been brave enough to refuse to beat her? Let me give you an example, you know one of them: He had refused to beat her, and Endora ended up killing his daughter. His mate also struggled to carry a fucking pup due to being beaten, because he tried to do the right fucking thing. So, when you asked him if he felt remorse,

he’s a fucking coward, one who had just found his family and feared losing you all, but if he was half the fucking man he should have been… He should have protected his pack, not appeased his so-called family, because
