The High Witches KIARA I hadn’t been able to sleep properly . Both Alejandro and I had tossed and turned . The sun hadn’t even risen but I sat up , picking up the pad and forcing myself to write the second message . I was halfway through it when Alejandro woke up . We had barely slept , although we had been trying to sleep for the last four hours . How could we sleep when our baby girl was somewhere ? All alone . I knew he wanted to get back out there to look for our pup .

His arm was around me , his hand over mine as I wrote the words , painstakingly slow . The sparks of his touch were like the comfort of warmth on a winter day . He didn’t speak , simply placing a few comforting kisses on my neck and shoulder . ‘ A debt must always be repaid , by blood or by life . ‘ I had done it ! I gasped , dropping the pen . Alejandro instantly grabbed some napkins from the tray of left – over food from last night and dabbed them gently over my bleeding hand , then over the paper that was smeared with blood . ” This person’s got some fucking problem  with me … “

A debt ? What are they going on about ? ” I closed my eyes , leaning against his shoulder . My intuition was doing nothing to help , I hated this . ” I don’t know , but it could be fucking decades old . The witches should be here soon , and I need to make the recording to put out there for the kidnappers ‘ demands before they get here . ” He said quietly . I nodded and he gave me a deep kiss before we both got up , ready to face the day and find answers . He left first after washing and dressing . I washed my face and brushed my teeth , rummaging through the suitcase I had grabbed from the other room last night , pulling on some shorts and an oversized top . I didn’t want to wear any of this

top . I didn’t want tocar any of this colourful crap but it was all I had brought along . Who would have thought our family trip for the girls ‘ birthday would end like this ? How had Kataleya spent the night ? My stomach twisted and I felt sick with worry . She was out there … I had just left the room , carrying the tray o f leftovers from last night , when Mom stepped out of Skyla’s room , although it wasn’t even dawn yet . It seemed I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t sleep .

” Kia . ” She smiled softly at me and came over , running her fingers through my hair . Oh yeah … I hadn’t combed it … ” We are going to find her . ” She said , determination blazing in her sage green eyes . I nodded as she took the tray from me . ” I know .

” ” Sky is asleep , I’ll keep an eye on her . ” ” Thank you … I’m just going to go check o n Dante and Del . ” She nodded , and we both went our separate ways . I knocked lightly on the door , but heard no reply , I slowly opened the door to see the bathroom door was shut and the shower was on . Both Delsanra and Dante lay there in the same state as yesterday . I sat on the bed , placing my hands on their chests as I poured my healing into them , still nothing I sighed , staring down at Dante with sadness in my eyes . The bathroom door opened and Rayhan stepped out , wearing only his pants and a towel around his shoulders . ” Seems like everyone’s up early . ” He said , pulling on his shirt . I nodded and pointed to the wardrobe .

” Alejandro has some clothes in there if you need anything . ” I stood up , looking down at the two . ” Was there any change a t night ? ” ” Nothing at all . ” ” I sighed heavily , feeling restless , I needed to make myself useful . ” Have you asked Maria about the kids ? ” I asked , feeling another flash of guilt rush through me . He nodded .

t o the sitting area , Alejandro was seated there , his face emotionless and cold as he looked directly

, one would think he wasn’t really bothered about the loss of his child , or that he didn’t have a

strand of her blonde hair and hugging me tightly . ” Serena … ” I hugged her back , not saying anything , before pulling away and began helping . I knew the men were leaving soon

worried for you , for everyone , and above all , for my baby girl . ” ” No. I’m not risking it . ” ” Al … I want to go . ” I pleaded , feeling a sting of pain at his blatant refusal . ” And I fucking said no , I’m not having someone else I love out there . ” ” Excuse me ? Rayhan is out there ! Is this because I’m a woman , so I should stay holed up inside ? ” I exclaimed . Didn’t he get that I can’t just stay still and do nothing ? ” Think of it however the fuck you want . You are not leaving this villa . ” His tone was cold and final , and when his piercing black eyes met mine , I knew he wasn’t going to budge . His words stung and I pressed my lips

vision blurred . ” You will . ” My eyes flashed as I glared at him through my tears . I was a queen and I was not going to back down . ” Kia … ” He put his phone away , reaching for me , but I stepped out of his reach , shaking my head . ” What about you ? Don’t you think that

, I need to know that the rest of you are safe . ” He said coldly , despite his voice remaining quiet , one hand forcing my chin up to look at him . I refused to , staring past his head . ” We aren’t safe here either . For goddess’s sake Alejandro , they were here ! They placed those letters ! I am a blessed wolf ,

ready to leave with Alejandro . I am not going to just sit here and do absolutely fuck all ! ” Kiara . ” Mom’s voice broke me out of my rage and I knew she had heard the argument . ” I don’t agree with him , but he has a point . He won’t be able to focus knowing you are out there . ” W ” That’s not my problem . ” I whispered , brushing past her , my heart clenching with pain

. ” Alejandro’s voice came from behind me . I tensed , feeling guilt fill me as he crouched down , placing a hand on my back , his other arm wrapping around Skyla and my shoulder . He kissed her forehead before looking at me . ” Forgive me , Amore Mio … ” He leant over , claiming my lips in a passionate deep kiss .

, and turning , his gaze met mine . ‘ I love you , Amore Mio. ‘ ‘ I love you too . ” He gave me one of his sexy smirks before he disappeared

. I nodded , lifting Skyla up . ” Mama , I’m not a baby . ” She whispered , and I frowned , concerned at her words . ” I know baby , but can’t I carry you ? ” I asked her as she led the way down the stairs . ” No. I’m a big girl , I’m going to be strong , like Kataleya . ” She whispered , her

at her , taking a seat , but refusing the plate of breakfast Serena offered me , instead just picking up the mug of mocha Mom had passed me . ” Now eat up so you can get dressed and watch some TV . ” I was very aware of Julio and several guards situated inside of the house , all on alert . Once Serena took Skyla to get her dressed , Mom turned
