16. Back Home ALEJANDRO

The sun was setting through the window , casting red and orange hues around the room . As much as I wanted to be by Kiara’s side , I was doing what I knew she’d want me to , be there for our pups .. ” How you feeling ? ” I asked , sitting down o n the sofa in the living room next to Dante , who was leaning back against the cushions , clearly exhausted . ” I’m completely fine , Dad . ” He replied , despite the red pulsing veins that covered his body . ” Yeah ? Glad to hear you’re not a fucking wuss , but you know it’s ok to fucking say i f shit hurts . ” I remarked lightly , reaching over and ruffling his hair .

He gave me a cocky smirk . ” Obviously , but I’m completely fine . I’m glad Kat’s back . ” He added , frowning slightly as he looked at Skyla , who was setting up the dollhouse for when Kataleya returned from her bath . Scarlett was showering her . We had been back an hour or so . After the doctor had checked her over , taking note of her injuries , she had then fallen asleep and had only woken up a short while ago . I was still to look at those reports , knowing they weren’t going to be easy to see . I knew I was delaying it , trying to build the courage I needed to face them . Skyla had been on edge wanting to see her twin , from the moment we had entered she had been beyond fucking ecstatic . Currently , Elijah was here , as was their pup , Azura .

Rayhan had taken Delsanra and headed home , I was fucking grateful for all his help . Everyone else had also returned home , apart from those working on finding that fucker . I knew Kiara had seen him , and Kat , but I was not going to question her , not when I knew that experience was fucking traumatic for her . Raihana did say she’d stop by if I needed her to , so we could probe Kat’s mind , but I wasn’t sure yet . She had managed to heal the most severe of her injuries before leaving . Guilt still fucking consumed me ; I was the reason this shit happened . On top of that , Kiara had been the one to find her , at the experise of her own safety . .

I fucking hated that I had failed my pups a and queen . ” So , Dad , we are getting pizza right ? ” Azura’s voice broke me out of my thoughts , and I removed my hand that was resting on Dante’s head . ” Are we ? ” Elijah asked her , raising one of his brows from where he was standing by the window , busy on his phone . I knew he was handling the search for now , telling me to take a break , not that the fucker took a break himself . ” Aren’t we ?

” I glanced at her , her eyes a little too suspiciously wide as she stared at her dad , looking like a fucking puppy . Azura Rayne Westwood , she may be known to the world as Elijah and Scarlett’s daughter now , but she was really the daughter of Indigo , Scarlett’s biological sister , one who died eight years ago . The pup had almost died too , if one of their relatives with witch heritage hadn’t performed a spell , sacrificing her own life to place the unborn pup into Scarlett’s womb .

Indigo had been mated to a man from my pack … one who was fiercely loyal and efficient , yet he had been abusive … , Right under my nose , and I had missed it . Yeah , I knew he was a fucking shit show but Indigo still refused to leave him , but I had missed all the abuse . It had reduced Indigo to a shell of the woman she had once been . Looking at her daughter I saw the same fire in her that the young Indigo once had , and I hoped it remained .

Indigo had always had Elijah wrapped around her finger from when she was a fucking pup , and her daughter sure was the same . ” I’ll order it . ” He finished . I didn’t miss her victorious smile as she winked at Skyla . Right , so Lucifer incarnate had a say . Speaking of , she turned to me , giving me a devilish smile .. ” Is everything ok , Daddy ? ” ” 1

was an act of kindness towards her sister . Kataleya smiled as Azura jumped up . ” Come on

to be nice . ” Skyla shot back , narrowing her eyes . ” Play nice children , so I heard we are having pizza ? ” Scarlett raised an eyebrow , walking over to Elijah and tugging him down for a kiss

the look in he fucking eyes was almost as if she knew where I wanted to go , or more like needed to . Kiara was my real addiction and I needed her to feel fucking sane . The guilt inside o f me was only growing , and I needed a dose of Kiara before I saw my princess ‘ medical report . I walked through

kissable lips slightly parted . I walked over to her , sitting down on the bed . ” Fuck

her … protected her , and I didn’t even get there in time to protect you . ” I murmured quietly . I know she won’t blame me , and I was still fucking pissed that she went alone , but I also knew she was the one who had found her , the reason our angel was back with us and that she was capable …. but still . Pretty fucking useless , that’s how

responsibilities , to make sure my family was safe , and as much as I wanted to get the fuck out there and find the fucker , I couldn’t go and leave any of them behind . Kiara in this state , although the doctor said she’ll be awake soon , Dante … Kat … even Sky , who although she was acting like she was

through my hair , pushing it back and standing up . Time to go see my girl’s reports … I walked past the dresser , spotting Kiara’s wedding rings . I picked them up , and glanced towards the bed , my chest constricting at the memory of how we had parted that day I placed them down

link to the head doctor . I entered the silent building , although I knew there were people around , in the many different departments doing their duties . I glanced at the guards who stood i

Kiara safe , or had she perhaps been cursed ? It was a question that Elijah had asked , and it made me think just like Dante , she had been injured . But from what Raihana had said she wasn’t sure , she didn’t sense anything from her , but I had also refused to allow her to probe too far . This was the fucking problem , I couldn’t risk hurting more people

” Skip that shit . Show me the report . ” I cut in , taking a drag on my cigarette . He hesitated , before approaching . ” Alpha , both I and doctor Jemimah were the ones to perform the examinations . The good news is , there was so signs of sexual abuse and doctor Jemimah confirmed that . ” A wave of relief washed over me , but from the look on his face , I knew there was still more . ” Pass me the file . ” 1 ” Do you mind if I explain it to- ” ” Take a fucking seat and I don’t want or need shit sugar – coated
