The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin Chapter 29
A Mother’s Concern
KIARA.
My lips quiver as Alejandro pulls me into his arms. His intoxicating scent and his warmth are the greatest comfort for me, but it doesn’t take away the pain that has settled into my heart. When your child is suffering…
‘We’re here for her.’ He says through the link.
I’ve failed as a mother. I’m trying not to let my pain show as I gaze at the door to her bedroom. 2
My Angel…
The smell of breakfast that I’m almost done cooking fills the cottage, and despite the pleasant warmth of the morning ray of sunshine that makes the small hallway glow, I’m struggling to remain strong.
Last night replays in my mind and I close my eyes, taking a choked breath. It’s hard…
(FLASHBACK – LAST NIGHT)
“Hello?” I answer Alejandro’s incoming call, licking my finger clean of the brownie batter.
It’s extremely late. He must have just
finished off with work. Kataleya had sent pictures of their meal earlier. I’m glad they had some time together.
“You need to get to Sky’s cottage as soon as you can, I’ll send you the address.” His voice is thick with emotions and my heart clamours as I almost drop the brownie tray.
“What happened?” I ask, turning around. I switch the cooker off, hurrying from the room.
‘Serena! Can you come over and watch Alessandra? I need to head out somewhere.’
I call through the link as I quickly rush from the kitchen.
‘Coming, is everything ok?’ Serena’s voice comes.
‘Finding out.’ I reply quickly, grateful for her fast response.
“What happened?” I ask Alejandro, trying to calm my racing heart, a million thoughts rushing through my head.
“You don’t need to get anyone to teleport or anything… but as soon as you can, drive down. I’ll explain when you get here…”
I close my eyes, his words relaxing me a little. Even if it’s not an instant emergency, something has still happened.
“I’ll be there soon.” I murmur before filling Serena in.
‘Darien is sending you two guards. Grab your stuff Kiara, the car will be ready.’
Serena replies.
‘Thanks, hun.’
Two hours later, the guards park up alongside Alejandro’s car, and I rush out before the car even comes to a stop, shutting the door behind me. Before I even reach the door, Alejandro opens it. My heart’s racing as I scan the cottage, about to rush past him, but he grabs hold of me.
“What is it?” I ask, as he pulls me against him and wraps his muscular arms around “Calm down.” He says quietly, burying his nose in my hair.
“I can’t, please tell me…” I whisper, trying to control my worry, but I trail off, realising he needs this.
