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.

was obvious it didn’t go away entirely. I glanced at Leo, who was smoking away indifferently, tapping his foot silently as if bored. “Delsanra told me that there were those who had been forced to hurt her and to not do this.” “But you didn’t listen.” Leo

Delsanra pleaded at me to let them go, and I did.” As 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 talked

remorse were-” “Beaten and bound in silver for a month.” Leo cut in. “Yeahi, and the rest who hurt her willingly, I killed.” Leo smirked and nodded. “Yeah…. Anything else?” He asked,

are those who were born rogues. Does a child need to suffer for their parent’s sins?” Leo asked, now sitting forward as he turned and looked at Rayhan. “The thing is, this is the last time I’m 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. “You mentioning where we

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? Or did you all forget that little detail when you changed your opinion the moment a Rossi had a witch mate and a witch daughter? When it affected the

I watched how Dad sat in an adjoining room, head in hands, as his pack members were beaten! You did it all for your mate, vet you took away the mates of many!” Leo continued, his eyes going from me to Rayhan, blazing a steely blue, I

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, why would he? She was just a witch to him. He was still mourning the loss of his daughter! What did you want him to say? Yeah, I fucking felt bad? And to top it off, his mate, who had suffered beatings, was pregnant
