King Alejandro: The Return Of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

7. The Unravelling Of Hope ALEJANDRO Fear ran through my veins and , although I may be the strongest shifter out here , I felt helpless . Kataleya . She was all I could fucking think of . Remembering the way , the wolf’s teeth were clamped around her tiny body . The blood dripping from his mouth , her blood and the terror in her eyes as they got further and further away . I’d give my fucking life for her safety . Then Kiara’s pain , the way she pushed me away ripped at my heart .

I knew she was i n pain , a mother’s reaction after all . She was the perfect mother to our child , not like my own fucking mother , who played dead for years and then came back with her psychotic plans to destroy the world over eight years ago . She sure fucking didn’t care if any of us went down with her . But Kiara , she was firm , fair and affectionate . She loved her pups unconditionally and even then , made time for me . her family , our pack and her friends , as well as for a certain fucker I couldn’t stand .

She cared for everyone and did her best to be there for us all . I sped up , the wind rushing through my fur . There was no way I was going to be able to track Kataleya , so instead , we were trying to follow the tracks of the wolves , o r hoping for any speck of blood that left a trail . Many of my men were nowhere assisting , but it was fucking futile .

The ground near the river where the fight had occurred was now just a field of ash , not even a body or a drop of blood remained , that just made things fucking harder . ‘ Alpha , Alpha Rayhan is here to help . ” Rayhan ? Kiara must have told them , and I’m guessing his spitfire of a mate must have teleported them here . A reminder that I wasn’t alone . We will find her … ‘ Fill him in on everything , I’m still trying t o scour the entire north side . There’s no fucking paw prints or anything . ‘ ‘ Understood , Alpha . ‘

Fourteen hours had passed but there was still no answer nor clue . I was not going to fucking let them get away with it . The fear that so many fucking hours had passed and what may have happened to her consumed me like fucking poison . I didn’t feel the link break , so she was still alive … that was all I had to fucking hold on to .

The exhaustion was catching up to me , but there was still no sign of her , so I couldn’t stop . I had alerted the Alpha’s of the packs that I truly trusted to send their men out , but at the same time , I also didn’t want to put Kataleya in more harm than she already was by telling everyone that my daughter was taken . ‘ Alpha … there’s nothing . They are gone without a trace . ‘ Darien , my Beta’s voice came through the link . ‘ I can’t stop looking . ‘ I whispered back , trying to control the agony in my voice . ‘ Alejandro … look , let’s let everyone know – Put a prize out there for her.

Let the word out that you’re willing to give anything to the kidnappers . Surely there must be a reason for this and they must want something . We can contact our business partners in the human world too and make it clear that your daughter is taken . Someone may have seen her . We will find her … ” F The voice of reason that stuck by me even on my darkest days long ago … He was a friend that had been by my side from the fucking start . But I can’t stop searching when she’s out there . ‘ Not yet . ‘ ‘ Al … please . Kiara needs you ; Dante and Luna Delsanra are still unconscious .

‘ I froze in my tracks , my heart thundering , what ? ‘ What the fuck do you mean ? ” 4 Kiara wasn’t able to heal Dante ? ‘ The Hybrid Luna tried to cast a spell to fix whatever was ailing Dante but whatever it was , has spread to her . We told Alpha Rayhan and he did return to check on her before continuing on finding Kataleya . We need to regroup ; I’ll have new men out here scouring the woods . Alpha Liam also wishes to speak to you . H e is currently with his sister at the villa .

eyes . Darien was right , I needed to reach out and have another plan in place rather than just searching blindly . ‘ I’m coming back . ‘ I reached the villa , my heart sinking with every step , I was returning to my queen without our pup . How was I going to

have gone so fucking far out . I should have paid attention to what Kia was saying , but it was a tad too fucking late right now . Her scent enveloped me . I closed my eyes , grasping onto it . I would never fucking let on , but I was doing my best not to unravel completely

my pants that I had just pulled o n , before I pushed open the door to the room , seeing Kiara sitting on the bed whilst Delsanra and Dante lay upon it . Both looked as grey as death , red veins creeping along their entire bodies . Rayhan sat on the opposite side , holding Delsanra’s hand , his hair shielding his face and I felt another storm of guilt . Because of my fucking mistake , there was another casualty . Scarlett was rocking a sleeping Skyla in her arms gently , whilst Liam stood behind Kiara

stood up , her eyes filled with fresh tears as she looked at me before closing them . I had failed her . ” Nothing ? ” She

arms around her tightly as she broke into stifled sobs . I rested my head on top of hers , closing my eyes as I inhaled her hazelnut chocolate scent that calmed me . Scarlett sighed , frowning as she looked at me . ” We will find her , Elijah is out there and w e will continue to search , but we need to let every pack know . If this is the doing of another pack or some sort of uprising , then we will surely

the empire . I refused to take more than needed , not to mention he was the main heir to his mother’s entire side of wealth as well . Our eyes met , and I saw the pain in his stormy grey ones . ” I’m sorry

. ” We are family , and I don’t think she’d have been able to sit back and do nothing . #F He replied , trying to hide the emotions i n his voice .

all members of the council , I’m going to do this shit now . ”

and Kiara . ” That was a fucking order by your damn king , move . ” I growled viciously , my aura rolling off me and forcing Darien to submit . I saw Kiara frown , but she said nothing . I walked over to the bed , looking down at the two on it . ” What’s wrong with them ? ” * ” Some sort of curse . ” Liam replied quietly . ” I felt something else in the room when she was thrown against the wall . Those vein – like things travelled from Dante to her . I think anyone who tries to sabotage

Kataleya , 1 needed to find a cure . ” Raihana , I don’t want her to attempt the same shit , but do you think she’ll be able t o find some answers ? ” I asked quietly . ” O r the witches ?

had a gift of knowing things . One I had blatantly ignored from Kiara … ” Nothing . ” He replied frowning , his eyes , that were always blazing the colour of his wolf , met mine . ” But I’m going to go back out there and keep looking for her . ” ” The letters . ” Kiara whispered . ” There ” were two . ” What did they say ? ” I asked her sharply . She opened her mouth , frowning

eyes . Fuck . I stepped closer to her , cupping her face , the sparks of the bond rippling through us as I caressed her cheeks with the pads of my thumbs , brushing away the

going to figure this shit out , ok ? ” I promised with determination , because I fucking swear , anyone fucking involved is going to burn . She nodded and I pulled her close , my lips crashing against hers in a deep , passionate kiss . My arms tightened around her , one hand tangling into her hair as I held her close , needing her , needing this . ‘ I will bring her back to you . ” I kissed her cheeks , the taste of her salty tears
