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 .

Right , so Lucifer incarnate had a say . Speaking of , she turned to me , giving me a devilish smile .. ” Is everything ok , Daddy ? ” ” 1 ” Yeah , sure is . ” Scarlett entered with my little girl looking normal

dollhouse , brushing her hair back from her face . She usually didn’t play with dolls often , everyone fucking knew this was an act of kindness towards her sister . Kataleya smiled as Azura jumped up . ” Come on Kat , let’s play . ” She stated , walking over to my pup and taking her hand confidently . ” Girls are so loud . ” Dante added , shaking his head .

, so I heard we are having pizza ? ” Scarlett raised an eyebrow , walking over to Elijah and tugging him down for a kiss . I stood up . ” Mind staying with the pups ? I’m

princess ‘ medical report . I walked through the hall , and up the stairs , heading to my bedroom . I opened the door , her scent hitting me like a strong dose of nicotine . Serena and Kevin were both in the room . ” Alpha . ” Kevin said , politely lowering his head . I gave a curt nod before looking

over her , pulled up to her chest , her plump kissable lips slightly parted . I walked over to her , sitting down on the bed . ” Fuck , Amore Mio … ” I

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

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 ok , was fucking affected by everything that had happened . I leant down , a few strands of my hair brushing her face as I touched my forehead to hers ever so lightly , not wanting to hurt her , the sparks between u

off . ” I smirked , running my fingers 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 before I left the room , glancing at

, Alpha . ” Kevin replied with a nod . I left the mansion , heading towards headquarters . ‘ Callum , meet me at my office . ‘ I said through the 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 n position , attentive , alert and doing their job . Order . It was something I tried to keep , but when something came , it tore apart everything I had put in place . No matter how

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 no matter how desperately I wanted answers and wanted Kiara safe . Fuck , Amore Mio … I took out a cigarette and lit it just

” 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
