88. A Debt Repaid

ALEJANDRO

The moment she said that the witch was helping the Rogue King, added to Kiara's ability to reverse the transformation, a sudden fucking thought hit me.

"She's using this so-called king, right?" I asked.

The woman nodded.

"Most likely, she is probably using the Rogue King to attain what she wants as well as placing all your attention on them. From what I know about Endora, she is an extremely cunning woman. One that knows what she wants and will do anything to attain it. She has, after all, been at this for years." The witch said darkly.

"So, theoretically speaking, this rogue fucker probably doesn"t even know that she's the one behind all these mutations?" I asked.

"I guess so, but only she would know the answer for sure, considering the manangal work for her. There are many spells to influence or cloud the mind. For all we know, the Rogue King may be under her control. I cannot say. Only Endora herself would know the answers. The blessed wolf's blood is powerful and can be used for many spells. Just think what she could do… with all that blood at her disposal."

My hand tightened around Kiara"s possessively, as I pulled her closer. Her heart raced as our eyes met. She was in a lot of danger, witches were fucking strong… The only thing that came to my mind was there was only one wolf who may actually be able to go against a witch… One that had abilities of her own and the only one that I never wanted to put out there. Kiara herself.

I still didn't want to, and I wouldn't. I'd do everything in my capability to go against the odds.

The witch let out a cold, humourless laugh, as if she knew where my thoughts were going.

"What the fuck could the bitch want with Kiara's ability? Don't you have any fucking idea?" I asked.

She sighed as she gave me a disdainful glare.

"I told you many things that could be done with the blood of Selene"s chosen one. It could fuel very powerful for spells. Even grant immortality itself." She said, watching us.

Kiara looked down, a small frown on her face.

"So she probably wanted Mom for her blood too…"

"More than likely, however it seems she's a lot more capable this time." The woman seemed to hesitate and then sighed deeply. "I know not how true this is, but rumour has it, she may have a few more witches by her side."

"Well fuck, this shit just gets worse. Aren"t the fucking Alamoria the one's who should be dealing with her shit?" I said coldly. That's what the fucking council was for right?

"They have tried, but it isn"t easy… She isn"t harming the humans or witches, so they don't care." The witch said unbothered.

"That's horrible… All life is equal." Kiara said softly.

"Yes maybe, although I'd rather say witches are worse than the dirt beneath my fucking feet. They don't give a shit about us. In fact, I think they'd probably be glad if there were a lot fewer wolves… correct right?" I said venomously, my anger swirling around me.

She frowned,

"I am a lone witch. I won"t deny that the coven would love a world without werewolves and vampires… but I have no part in it, nor do I have an opinion on the matter." She said icily. "Control your anger."

I reigned it back ever so fucking slightly. I fucking hated the wench before me, her and all her fucking kind…

"Thank you for sharing everything with us. Is there anything else you could tell me?" Kiara asked, in her husky, sexy as fuck voice.

She placed a hand on my chest, her eyes fixed on the witch despite soothingly caressing my neck.

The woman watched us, then looked at her hands.

"If ever the two of you were to birth a child, it would be strong. Rivalling even the gods themselves. If this was to happen, heed my advice and run. For not only Endora would love to attain such power. The entire world would turn its attention to such a child."

Her words were ominous and despite myself I felt the shiver of darkness run down my back. Those words were heavy and dark. Her eyes glinted and I wondered what was going through that mind of hers.

"Thank you… for the warning." Kiara said, looking a little unnerved herself.

"Well if that's all, lets get the fuck out of here." I said.

"Remember the amulet, or I will consider it a deal broken." She said, her eyes glimmered with a tinge of red.

"You'll get your fucking amulet. So remember who the fuck you"re talking to." I said.

Why the fuck didn't Callum tell me she was so fucking pissy? Dickhead.

"We will get it." Kiara interjected before the witch could reply. She slid off my lap and I wished I could hold her forever. I stood up as she walked over to the witch. Crouching down she placed her hand on her knee.

"What are you doing?!" The witch said, raising her hands.

I growled but before either I or the fucking spell bag could react, I saw Kiara's healing aura wrap around the woman"s knee. Was she in pain?

"Does it feel better?" Kiara asked, looking up at her.

The woman seemed too stunned to speak.

"Why would you do that? We are enemies." She said as if she really couldn"t wrap it around her head.

I knew Kiara enough to know she didn't differentiate. There was something about her that just wanted to heal and help those around her…

"I don't see you as one." Kiara said, standing up.

The witch frowned, looking up at Kiara indignantly as she stretched her leg.

"I hate debts! I thought I was finally paying the other mutts off, and now I owe you!" She said standing up.

I growled, my eyes flashing. Ungrateful bitch. I moved forward, ready to tear her to shreds when Kiara blocked my way, placing her hands on my chest.

"Don't." She said softly, a pleading look in those doe like fucking eyes that really messed with my head, and dick.

I looked away, retracting my claws as she turned back to the witch.

"This isn"t a debt, I did it of my own free will. You owe me nothing."

"We witches always repay our debts!" She spat.

The bitch better shut her fucking mouth or I wouldn't care what Kiara wanted.

"Ok, as repayment, can I know your name?" Kiara asked, sighing.

The woman frowned, I knew witches did love their names and they held some power linked to it. I didn't know much about that shit though.

"Janaina." She replied.

"Nice to meet you, and thank you for all your help." Kiara said, giving her a small smile.

Yeah, it fucking confused me. Her mother wasn't this nice... nor was her father. Why did she have to be so fucking sweet? Maybe it"s true how we are meant to complete each other, and I sure as hell agree that she was making up for us in the nice department, I don't do fucking nice.

"Shall we go?" Kiara asked, looking up at me and bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Wait!" Janaina suddenly spoke.

She reached into the neck of her cloak and removed a pendant with a large selenite crystal hanging at the end of the gold chain. I could see it had some engravings on it. "Consider this repayment… It will…. conceal."

I raised my eyebrow. What did that shit mean? Either way, no.

"Don't take anything she gives you." I said to Kiara, who was about to reach for it.

"There's no darkness coming from it." She said taking it anyway. "Thank you."

"I would advise you to always wear it." Janaina said.

"I don't fucking think so." I said as Kiara pocketed it.

"Thank you." She said, motioning towards the door. "Let"s go."

I took her hand and led her out. Neither of us spoke as we returned to the car and headed out.

We would rest for the night and then set out for the forest in the morning.

-----

We had checked in at a hotel, and although Kiara seemed unsure about sharing a room, I told her I wasn't going to risk her alone in a separate room. On top of that, the fucking human at the check in desk was a fucking wuss and seemed too fucking intimidated by me.

When she had said she'd prefer her own room, I had got a bit pissed and did say I wouldn"t fucking touch her. Not missing how a flash of hurt crossed her eyes at those words. Too bad, I don't sugar coat shit. Yeah, I felt like crap for saying it, but what more can I do? If that was what she was scared of, then she didn't need to be. I knew we needed fucking time, no matter how much I wanted her.

I had showered first and was now sat here with the snack bag, finishing off the brownies as I checked through my messages. Darien told me Indigo had begged him to tell her where Fred was sent as he wasn't picking up her phone calls. I knew the fucker was still alive as I hadn"t felt anyone"s pack link break. He had also mentioned how Elijah was refusing to allow her to stay behind, and she would leave with them in the morning.

Rafael and Elijah had gone to see the rogue. The only thing he said was that the King needed the blessed wolf. Nothing I didn't already know. It just reinforced the idea that the Rogue's so-called fucking king actually may not know the witches" true colours.

I glanced at the bathroom door as I ate the last brownie, feeling a bit gutted they were finished. She had been in there a while and I was sure she was probably panicking. Just then the door opened and I looked at her as she stepped out.

Dressed in a pair of sky blue shorts and a cami that hugged her perfect body deliciously. Her shorts showed off her lush thighs and tattoo. I could see the faint outline of her nipples as well…

I felt desire flare up within me and the urge to claim her right then consumed me. It was taking my all to control the beast within. Her damp hair framed here gorgeous face and my heart fucking skipped a beat when our eyes met.

Our hearts raced and it felt like we were two teens experiencing this shit for the first fucking time.
