112. Loving You Tonight

KIARA

I stepped forward when I suddenly froze, the shooting pain that seemed to always accompany me when I wore heels stubbornly seemed to have eased. I shifted my weight to the ankle fully. My heart skipped a beat when I didn't feel that jarring pain that had become a part of my life.

"Are you ok, Amore Mio?" He asked, concerned.

"My ankle… It's not hurting like normal…"

I heard Mom gasp as she looked at Dad.

"Mates strengthen one another… It could be that your healing is faster now as you are mated to a Lycan." She said.

I looked at Dad, who seemed too stunned to even say anything. I turned back to Alejandro.

"It doesn't hurt at all…" I said softly, feeling shocked.

I had never allowed my ankle to hold me back, it had never defined who I was. I was strong then and I am strong now. But with that pain vanishing with each passing second, I felt overwhelmed and it didn"t feel real.

"I'm glad." He whispered, tugging me back into his arms.

He truly was. As he rocked me gently, his heart thundering like a galloping horse, I could feel his happiness, his love and his urge to keep me protected from everything.

‘You… cured me…'

‘There was nothing to cure… You were just waiting for me.' He replied, his lips meeting mine in a deep kiss.

It was cut short as Raven hurried over, her eyes wide as she did her best to wait for our kiss to end. Her heart was hammering as she looked at me with tear-filled eyes.

"Really?" She said.

"Really…" I said softly.

She sniffed and nodded,

"That's great." She said, before pulling me into her arms for a tight hug.

I fought back my own tears as Mom stepped forward.

"Congratulations on becoming Luna and on your marking… My baby girl has grown up." She said softly, cupping my face as she gently wiped my tears away before looking at my neck. "It looks beautiful… It's different."

She glanced at Alejandro, trying to grab a look at his neck. He gave her a cold glare before moving his shirt back, allowing her a quick look.

"It stands out." Mom said proudly.

Raven snapped a picture of my neck and I took the phone from her, looking at what was forming to be a crown, with three claw marks. It was dark, completely black with a hint of red that seemed to shimmer. It wasn't fully healed yet, but I knew it would be just beautiful when it was completely healed.

Many pack members, as well as the visiting Alphas and Beta's, came to say congratulations. Some even complimented Dad that they could see his daughter becoming a fine Queen.

"Food will be served soon!" Darien called as Alejandro kissed my shoulder.

My heart thudded and I realised the effect he had on me was so much stronger now. We were one…

"There's one more thing… I want to do tonight. Well, for now." He added with an arrogant smirk, making me blush.

I heard a few people laugh and I poked my tongue out at him.

"Which would be?" I asked as I fixed his collar and re-tied his tie.

Although everyone was helping themselves to the food, I knew many eyes were on us, or ears.

He went quiet as he took my hands and led me to the brightly lit tree. His brows furrowed as he looked at me with those dark eyes of his.

"I owe you an apology-"

"Alejandro, you've already-" I cut in, I didn't need him to apologise in front of his pack, and he already had.

"Not for what I'm about to apologise for. Around fourteen years ago… a little girl gave me a flower… to thank me for saving her…" He began. The pain and guilt he felt rushed through me before he blocked it off. I frowned, I knew he meant me, but when did I give him a flower? He looked up at me, his eyes softening as he took a deep breath, letting a memory of long ago fill my mind. A memory I saw through his eyes.

I recognised myself, a child telling him that I was helping him smile… pushing at the corner of his mouth… holding out a flower that he tossed aside and stepped on… The tears in my eyes… I gasped as the memory suddenly vanished and I looked up into his guilt-filled eyes.

"I'm sorry for that… Little did I know that same girl would grow up to be the only one who could bring me true happiness." He said softly, letting go of my hands. He picked up the slim long box that was on the table. Opening it, he placed the box down and took out one single beautiful deep red rose.

My heart pounded at his sweet, perfect gesture as he held it out to me. I took it, staring up into his eyes.

"It won't make up for that day… But... even back then, you didn't see me as a monster... You were brave, strong and so pure-hearted that I didn't think you'd survive this world…" He said quietly.

‘Survive me' he added, through the link.

My heart ached at how he saw himself, wishing he could feel and see how I saw him. I inhaled the flower, I would cherish it forever, I knew that much. I wrapped my arms around his neck, letting my emotions fill him. His eyes softened and he wrapped his arms around my waist, as he rocked me gently to the music.

‘I love you,' I whispered through the link.

‘Fucking love you too.' He replied as I closed my eyes, letting him sway us. I rested my head on his chest, enjoying the moment.

We were lost in one another, no longer remembering that there were others around us. No one told us to come eat, or disturbed us, letting us remain in each other's arms for as long as we wanted…

-----

"Where are we going?" I asked as we stopped by a car, thanks to the dazzling flash of light I saw that it was a sleek matt black car.

"Let's just say.. to complete our mating night?" He suggested with a sexy smirk.

I raised an eyebrow despite the desire that pooled between my legs.

"Weren't you the one who said you would wait until our date?"

He pulled me into his arms, sending off strong sparks, and I gasped, looking into his eyes.

"I said I'm going to fuck you after our date, I never said I wouldn't make love to you tonight." He said huskily, making my already fluttering stomach go even crazier. His lips brushed my shoulder, sending a shiver of pleasure through me.

"I'm sure that's not what you said…" I whispered, trying to focus, when all I could think of was the ache that needed satiating.

"Oh? Well, you just became queen and I intend to dedicate the night to worshipping every inch of your divine body… One way or another…" He murmured, making my breath hitch. My heart was pounding as our lips met in a hungry kiss full of passion and love.

"We need to go, before I take you right here." He groaned, opening the car door and helping me inside. I looked at the rose I still held in my hand, smiling softly. This is a moment I will never forget... not now... not ever...

-----

We had driven around thirty minutes, and I was led into a lavish penthouse. I swear we looked like a newly married couple, and I felt like it too. The moment we entered the penthouse, Alejandro scooped me up into his arms bridal style and carried me through to the bedroom. My heart was pounding and although we had sex before… something about tonight was different. Was it because we were in love? We were mated and marked? I wasn't sure, but I knew it would be so much more special.

The room was dimly lit. Behind us, I could see the ceiling to floor windows that gave a view of the spread out city and the glittering lights. I placed my flower on the bedside drawer, as I looked up at Alejandro. He removed his jacket and waistcoat. His glowing red eyes locked with mine.

The moment he had unbuttoned his cuffs, he leaned over and kissed my lips passionately. Slowly pushing me onto my back as his kisses got more sensual, his hands roaming my waist, he found the zipper and tugged it down. My heart thumped as his tongue slipped into my mouth, pleasure consuming me.

His hand slipped into my dress, caressing my back. I moaned softly as the strong, delicious sparks coursed through me. I began undoing his shirt buttons, wanting to feel him entirely against me.

He cupped my face and neck as he began kissing me down my neck, licking his mark that was almost healed. I shivered in pleasure as he went lower, sliding my dress off as he did. I managed to get his shirt off, tossing it aside, running my hands over his muscular body. Heat and desire coursed through me as our bodies moulded together.

Oh Goddess, you truly did give me a god… He pulled my dress down, revealing my bare breasts. His eyes darkened before he moved back and pulled the dress off completely with one smooth pull as if it weighed nothing, tossing it aside, his eyes never leaving me once.

"And I thought you weren't expecting tonight to happen." He murmured, brushing his knuckles down my hip, I knew he meant the fact that my entire body was covered in shimmering bronzer.

"Maybe I wanted it to happen, I mean, I wanted you. You're the one who was holding out." I whispered, tugging him by his necklace and on top of me. "Now fuck me like there's no tomorrow."

"I intend to." He whispered, his body pressed against mine as he kissed me deeply.

This was pure bliss. With every kiss and caress, I could feel his need, his want, and his love for me. I closed my eyes as he went lower, cupping my breasts as he licked and sucked on the nipples. I moaned as his tongue traced its way along the curve of my breast and along my underarm, making me wriggle under him, feeling his hard shaft pressing against me.

"Oh Alejandro…" I moaned.

He didn't reply, kissing me down my stomach. The slow, agonising kissing only made my core ache even more. I was soaking wet for him and even when he brushed his nose against my panties, I wanted more. I opened my legs for him, but he only placed a soft kiss over my panties, making my breath hitch.

"Oh fuck…."

He wasn't done, moving away as he kissed my inner thighs, before he reached up and claimed my lips once again. His hands stroked my ass and flipped me onto my stomach. Kissing me down my back, his hands cupped my breasts from behind, twisting and pinching my nipples as he went lower. My ass pressed against him and I was satisfied when I heard him groan.

His fingers hooked my tiny g-string and tore it off, making me gasp as the fabric rubbed against me before he tossed the shredded garment aside.

"You"re fucking wet, Amore Mio…" He whispered, grabbing my hips and propping me up on my knees. I spread my legs, wishing he'd fuck me. I wanted him inside "Not yet… patience, sweetheart…"

I blushed, realising he could hear my thoughts and he knew exactly what he was doing to me.

He placed kisses over my ass, his fingers now reaching my core, finally rubbing my pussy, before allowing his fingers to slip between my folds and rub my clit. He licked and sucked my ass, his fingers getting closer to my entrance. He pushed two in and I cried out as pleasure erupted inside me, his tongue licking me along my ass.

"Oh, fuck Alejandro…" I whimpered as he began rimming my ass. His fingers thrust into my pussy at an agonisingly pleasurable speed. His fingers curled against my g-spot before he slid them out and plunged them back in.

The combined pleasure made me arch my back, as I braced my weight on my hands. drowning in a haven of pleasure that only he could give me.

"That's it… oh!" I gasped as he sped up, his tongue darting into me.

I blushed, but I didn't feel embarrassed. This was my mate, and I could feel how much this was turning him on. I could feel his self-restraint weakening. I felt myself nearing and I didn't need to tell him as I moaned in pleasure.

"Oh, fuck, that's it, baby…"

He slapped my ass as he moved back, his fingers still inside me as he reached down, wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me up against him, then making his way to my clit. He nibbled and sucked my neck, as my cries filled the room. Both hands inflicting pleasure on my pussy.

I let out a scream of sheer ecstasy when my orgasm erupted through me, my eyes stinging with tears at the absolute force of pleasure that rocked my body. I tumbled forward on the bed, I could hear the sound of my juices as he fucked me with his fingers again. His other finger rubbed my clit relentlessly until I had ridden out the waves of pleasure.

He let go, tapping my ass before he squeezed it. My body was still shaking from the immense pleasure that had overtaken me. He kissed my shoulder and back softly, allowing me to recover from my orgasm.

"Oh, fuck baby." I breathed as he licked his mark, kissing it softly. Sending a jolt through me.

"You"re fucking perfect." He murmured, flipping me onto my back before he pinned my legs to the bed and kissed me down there.

I gasped at how sensitive I was already feeling.

‘When I'm done with you, you'll be begging for me to stop' His husky voice came through the link.

Just the words sent a throbbing ache to my core, and I moaned in pleasure as he licked my juices up before he began to eat me out. Only awakening more illicit desire within me. I pulled him up for a passionate kiss before shoving him backwards on the bed.

"My turn." I said breathlessly.

I kissed him down his chest, but I didn't waste time because there was one thing I wanted, and I would have it tonight. I unbuckled his belt and unzipped his pants, pulling them off, with a little help from him. Dropping to my knees on the ground, facing his crotch.

"Aren't you a little impatient, Amore Mio?" He breathed.

I ran my hand over his hard shaft, pulling his fitted designer boxers down. Oh, he was all mine. I licked my lips as I looked at his thick, long girth. My heart was pounding as I ran my hand over it licking my lips.

"Want to fuck my mouth, baby?" I asked with a small pout, pressing my breasts together.

His eyes flashed and I didn't wait for an answer as I licked the tip. He clenched his jaw and I smiled with pure satisfaction as I watched pleasure contort his face.

Running my tongue along his entire length. I loved the feel of every inch of him, feeling every vein and ridge, the way he tasted and throbbed against my lips. I moaned against him, feeling my core throb. He was so fucking huge, and I couldn't wait for him to fuck me all over again. I took his tip in my mouth, my eyes widening as I realised I could barely take him. He smirked cockily, sitting up slightly so he could watch me.

"That's it, baby girl." He groaned.

I bobbed on his shaft, feeling him throb as his hand tangled in my hair, guiding me, my mouth stretching against him. I breathed through my nose, allowing him to guide me, every thrust hitting the back of my throat. My hand wrapped around what I couldn't take in my mouth, pumping with the same rhythm.

He growled deeply as he began thrusting roughly into my mouth.

‘Oh, fuck baby!' I moaned through the link.

His thrusts got faster and I could barely breathe, but all I wanted was to make him come. I gripped his thigh with one hand, I began sucking on him as he thrust into me.

‘I'm fucking near, baby.' He mind linked.

‘Then let me taste you.'

His eyes flashed, his hand tightening in my hair as he continued his delicious assault on my mouth. My own core was dripping and I moaned in pleasure when he finally shot his load into my mouth. I swallowed what I could, moving back as I sucked on his tip, my hand pumping his cock at the same time. Milking him for all he was worth. My eyes fixed on his face, loving the look of pure pleasure that graced his face.

"Fuck Amore…" He breathed, yanking me up. His lips met mine in a hot, rough kiss. He lifted me into his lap and kissed me hard, before he dropped back onto the bed and rolled me over. He throbbed against me and I bit my lip in anticipation.

"I want you." I whispered, my nails digging into his shoulder.

"And I fucking need you." He replied, kissing my neck sensually. He sucked on it as he thrust into me slowly.

I gasped as he squeezed into me, moaning when he hit the spot, thrusting into me.

"Look at me, Kiara." He commanded quietly.

I opened my eyes. My heart pounding as I looked into his eyes, one of his hands caressing my hair, which was now half-open. Our eyes locked. His other hand gripped my thigh as he held it to his waist as he fucked me.

Our emotions surrounded us like a storm, and it felt like my heart would burst. His love for me… I had never felt such strong emotions and my lip quivered as I tugged his head down, kissing him softly as he made love to me.

His thrusts became harder, yet he would shift to slow and agonizing. There was no chasing one's release, we were simply enjoying and cherishing the moment.

"I'll always love you." He said quietly.

"Likewise, my king." I replied, caressing his face. When the emotions became too much for him, he buried his head in my neck as he began fucking me faster. Harder. Rougher.

Pleasure consumed us as he pounded into me, burying himself deep within me with every thrust. My eyes fluttered shut as he kissed and sucked on my neck while I neared my release. I met his thrusts with my hips, our movement in sync, my hand twisting into his hair.

The smell of sex was strong in the air, mixed with our scents and only the sounds of our moans and sighs of pleasures could be heard in the room.

"Oh, baby, that's it!" I whimpered, only to cry out as he began pounding harder, triggering my release.

I barely comprehended when he shot his load into me, his low growl of pleasure escaping him as we rode out the waves of our pleasure.

The sizzling aftershocks of my orgasm made me tremble as he hugged me tightly, both of us breathing heavily.

"I love you." I whispered, caressing his hair, locking my legs around his waist, not wanting him to pull out.

"I love you too… something I never fucking thought I was fucking capable of." He moved his head back and looked down at me.

I smiled softly, leaning forward and kissed him softly, moaning as he began thrusting into me once again.

"The night is fucking young, Amore Mio, and I made a promise to fuck you until you drop."

"Game on, my sexy beast." I teased, licking my lips.

He smirked sexily before his lips crashed against me in a hungry animalistic kiss as a low growl left his lips. My heart thudded in anticipation. My beast had truly awakened and all I wanted was to be devoured by him…

113. Delsanra

RAYHAN

It had been two days and nights yet still, she managed to escape us. I was one of the best trackers in The Black Storm Pack. Despite being an Alpha, I had the ability to blend in well. I was fast, sharp and nothing got past me. Well, not until now. This little witch was impressive despite the fact her powers were sealed, but I was beginning to doubt that, especially with how well she was hiding her tracks.

That was until now, when we finally rounded in on her. The difference? I hadn't slept and we hadn't stopped - I'm sure the witch needed sleep more than us wolves.

We were now on some rocky terrain, dense with forestry. She was smart to stick to paths near water, but that also meant there would be plenty of trees around. We had been searching high and low, I had a feeling she was retracing her steps too. The sun would soon set and I needed to find her. The other problem was that there were some Manangal in these woods. We had come across three already.

Uncle had said there was a high chance for some to still be out there, and it seemed like it was true.

"Alpha." Lola said quietly as she landed next to me, passing me a pair of pants as we shifted back.

Lola was the daughter of the current Beta, and she would be my Beta when the time came. She was two years older than me, strong and one of my closest friends.

"What is it?"

"Shall we proceed, or do you plan to go alone?" She asked, pulling on the oversize shirt.

I flashed her a smirk,

"We need answers, I think going alone would work out better. I'll mind link you if things go wrong. Just be on the lookout, if she tries to get away, knock her out.

"Got it." She said, cracking her knuckles.

"Really Lola, she's as weak as a newborn pup. Go easy on her." I said as I walked closer to the faint scent, looking down at the river thirty feet below the cliff edge.

"Oh? Then she shouldn't get past you, should she?"

"Well… I have to be a gentleman. I can't go hitting women." I said lightly, as I gave her a small nod, glancing at the few men who were with us. They knew their job and each one nodded before I jumped off the jagged edge and landed on my feet upon the ground below.

Now to find the witch… I scanned the area, smirking as I looked at the rushing river, the upended tree, some hedges… Where are you hiding, witchy? I looked back at the upturned tree roots… She is only sixteen and is said to be very small. I sniffed the area, getting closer to the tree, a smirk of victory crossing my lips.

Oh, this little mouse has nowhere to run to now… I saw the piles of nettles and thorns that were piled together and my smile vanished. A sliver of guilt rushed through me as I moved the prickly bushes, tossing them aside. There she lay in the fetal position, her knees tucked into her chest, her pure white hair, which was patchy with dirt, covered her face. Her heartbeat was very faint, I wondered how I didn't pick it up, but I guess with the rushing river… and it seemed she was so exhausted that she didn't even hear me approach.

She was tiny… If I didn't know she was sixteen, I would have assumed she was about twelve. Bruises, runes and wounds covered her bare arms and legs. A fresh rash thanks to the nettles added to her already battered body and I stepped back, feeling stabbing guilt rush through me. Did we push her to resort to this? She knew she was being followed…

Her scent of orchids and ylang-ylang drifted into my nose and I crouched down, reaching out, but before I could even touch her, she jolted up. Her startling blue eyes were wide with fear, a fear that soon turned to anger and hatred.

"Stay away!" She shouted hoarsely. Her voice was soft, but it held strength.

Everything I had planned went out the window. I was not going to manhandle a girl who had been through hell from the looks of it… even if she was a witch. What Kiara said now made sense.

"Alright… I won"t approach. We just have some questions." I said softly, raising my hands in surrender.

She glanced at me, then looked away, shaking her head bitterly. She didn't believe me.

"We just want to know, what day Endora will attack." I asked quietly.

"First… Let me go."

"Now I can't do that, can I… I need an answer first, then you're free to go." I said softly.

"She'll find me and kill me if I answer that, but then again, you dogs wouldn't care if I die, right?" She spat.

For someone so young, she held a lot of hatred. I ignored the insult and ran my hand through my hair.

"If you tell us, I can take you to wherever you"re going. To safety." I suggested.

Our eyes met and I took a moment to look at her properly. She was a pretty thing behind the bruises and cuts. Severely malnourished but with about fifteen or twenty kg weight gain, she'd look pretty good.

"And why should I trust the kind who has abused me?" She asked quietly.

I saw the darkness and pain in her eyes. I wonder, what has she been through?

"I'm not asking you to believe me, I just want an answer… If Endora attacks, many innocent people will die."

"You mean werewolves. What's wrong with that? You are all monsters anyway."

I could smell the fear from her, yet at the same time, she was still saying whatever she wanted.

"Not all of us, I would remind you that the witches have done a lot of harm to us as well… but that won't get us anywhere. Look, I won't pretend that I like your kind or pretend that we are going to get on. But we really need to know and what do you think? Once Endora's done with us, she will let you go?"

I didn't like the fact I was using that line on her, but we were running out of time.

"She'll come for you and whatever power you possess…" I looked her over, I could faintly smell that she was a witch, but there was nothing that showed she was strong or full of darkness. Perhaps it was the runes, I had heard about witches suppressing powers by such means…

"Why do you want to stop her?" She asked quietly.

"Because many innocent people will die, family, friends, loved ones… She won't stop until she gets what she wants, and that is to rule."

She looked at her hands and I saw the number of cuts that covered them. She seriously needed to see a doctor…

"Endora will attack in nine days… On All Hallows Eve. The night when-"

"When darkness is at its strongest. Halloween…" I said, how could we have not seen that…

"But that's not what she needed… She is looking for the moment the barrier to the underworld is at its weakest…"

She gasped and I looked at her sharply, seeing the runes beginning to glow a deep orange.

"What's happening, are you-"

"Don't touch me!" She recoiled from my touch as she began trembling. Her eyes were filled with tears.

"2.39 am. That is the moment she will try to resurrect the dark witches of the past. You need to make sure she doesn't succeed. That is the moment she will also be at her weakest. She will-"

She whimpered as tears of pain filled her eyes.

"Ok, look, stop." I said.

I knew a spell when I saw one. She was hurting herself, to tell the truth. "It's fine, I understand-"

"No! She will not attack the pack of the Lycan king." She broke into hacking coughs, whimpering in pain.

I wanted to do something, but there was nothing... Her words hit me and I wondered what she meant.

"She will start her attack where the first witch is buried, the ground near the…"

We heard a loud hiss and she looked up sharply. A Manangal, shit! The rotting putrid smell hit me and I stood up.

‘Ray there are too many!' Lola's voice came through the link.

‘Don't worry about me, protect yourselves. I'll manage!'

Just then, I saw two of the creatures come rushing towards us. I turned to the girl who was staring at them, bending down and scooping her up. My heart skipped a beat when her eyes met mine, pure shock clear in them. But we didn't have time to stop, I broke into a run. She was as light as a feather. She didn't touch me. Her arms were wrapped around herself.

"How the hell did they get here?!" I growled, glancing back at them.

"To make sure I never speak."

"Then why- Fuck!" I hit the ground when a Manangal lunged at us, slashing through my back, its disgusting scent filling my nose.

Delsanra went tumbling and I looked at the large cliff ahead. Panic filled me, but she stopped rolling a few feet from the edge. We had nowhere to go. There was the river far below, but that would do us no good… I stood up, lunging at the first of the Manangals.

It lurched towards me, its claws raised. I glanced back at her, seeing another two rushing towards her. I shifted, ripping it apart before I growled, leaping through the air and knocking them away from her. One fell over the edge and I tore the other one to bits.

The taste of their blood in my mouth, I looked at the last one as it rushed towards her. I jumped forward and bit down on its neck, ripping it apart. Blood splattered everywhere and I shifted back.

"Where will they attack?" I asked. "Only tell me, if you"re able to…"

She looked up at me, her eyes filled with confusion and curiosity.

"The Pack of the Deimos Prince." She mumbled, gripping her hair, as she screamed in agony. The runes on her body were now turning a burning red.

"The Blood Moon Pack…" I looked at her sharply, reaching to help her up. "Look, I know someone who can help."

She recoiled from my touch and crawled to the edge of the cliff. Her eyes filled with fear as she looked at me.

"I gave you the answers you wanted..." She staggered to her feet as she neared the edge.

"Delsanra… If you jump, you will die."

"And if I stay here… I die." She countered.

I saw the trickle of blood from her nose and realised she was dying anyway. With the state she was in, there was no guarantee I'd get her back to Kiara in time.

I looked at her. Her dirty white hair was blowing in the sharp wind, the setting sun made her hair glow. Mixed with the blood and dirt were fresh tears. Her plump lips quivered as she looked over the cliff.

She was scared…but she felt it was the best option. That hurt.

Why did it hurt?

"Why did you help if you knew it would kill you?" I asked softly, watching her chest rise and fall as she looked down below. I moved closer, wanting to pull her away from the edge.

"Because you have those you love…I have no one." She said, looking at me through her tear-filled eyes.

I swallowed, feeling her pain myself. I didn't get it, but something about this farewell was messing with my head. I had to stop her, surely there was somewhere she could go.

"The daughters of Hecate always ask for something in return for helping. I know… I am darkness…but even then, may I ask for a favour?" She whispered, her soft voice carried on the wind. I nodded, thinking no, she was not darkness. The setting sun burned behind her and at that moment she looked… as if she didn't belong to this world…

"Don't stop me."

My eyes widened as her words sunk in, just as she jumped.

"No!" I shouted, rushing to the end as I looked over the deep ravine.

All I could see below were clusters of trees and the narrow river filled with rocks far below. I scanned the area but could see her nowhere. There was no way she could have survived that fall… My heart was thudding and although I knew she was a witch… she had been innocent, another victim.

I stood up, my heart pounding and knew I'd never forget that tear-stained face. I closed my eyes, not knowing why this felt so painful.

Pull yourself together, Rayhan.

I shifted and ran back the way I had come. I needed to tell everyone what I had learned…

114. Date Night

ALEJANDRO

Heaven. A place I never thought I'd see, until she became mine. My heaven on earth. Last night had been perfect. We fell asleep when the first crack of dawn appeared. I had exhausted my nympho out and I had enjoyed every fucking second of it. We had awoken at noon and then came round two. After feeding my baby girl and pup, we had just stayed in bed to enjoy some pillow talk before getting ready for our night out.

Now here we were, on the luxury yacht I had booked out. After having dinner. I now had a drink in my hand, as we walked hand in hand to the edge, looking out at the water. I knew she probably couldn't see much, but the glittering lights of the city far out sparkled.

She looked so fucking sexy in a shimmering black figure-hugging dress with a thigh-high slit. Her makeup was sultry with deep dusky lipstick. Her usually straight hair was curled and left open, perfect for me to play with. I guess we were kind of coordinated. I was dressed in a black shirt with a few buttons left open and black pants.

I wrapped my arm around her and inhaled her scent,

"I love how I can smell myself off of you." I murmured,

"What do you expect, when you don't let go of me." She replied, amused. ‘Not that I want you to let go of me.'

‘Glad we're on the same fucking page.' I said through the link, as I kissed her before letting go of her. I downed my wine, tossing my glass aside and smirking when she jumped as it smashed to a thousand pieces, before turning her and lifting her onto the rail. Her eyes widened in surprise for a moment, but I knew she trusted me completely, as she simply placed her hands loosely on my shoulders.

"Tell me, baby, do you want a boy or girl?" She asked, taking me by surprise.

I raised an eyebrow.

"Boy."

She rolled her eyes, pouting.

"Why? What's wrong with girls?"

"Nothing… I just don't want to experience that shit where I'm going to have to hand my girl to some fucker. So yeah, I'd rather never have a girl, to begin with." I shrugged, kissing her cleavage softly. She sighed, parting her legs slightly to allow me to step between them.

"You're thinking far ahead…" She murmured, kissing the top of my head.

"I fucking have to. So, what about you? What do you want?"

"I actually don't mind." She replied, tugging my head back as she looked into my eyes.

"Good to fucking know. So… will you like… breastfeed the pup?" I asked, now frowning as I looked at her breasts.

Those belonged to me…

"Probably, Mom says- ouch!" She gasped when I pinched them, making her blush.

"Alejandro!"

"Kiara…" I said huskily. Smirking when I saw her blush darken. "These belong to me…"

"Oh really? Well, you're going to have to learn to share." She replied pointedly, poking my cheek.

"Not sure if I want to…" I replied huskily, sliding my hands up her lush thick thighs.

She had meat in all the right fucking places, and I could spend my entire fucking life just playing with her.

She blushed lightly, making me smirk, I knew she had heard me. We had our walls up often, but times like this… it felt fucking good to feel each other's emotions. I nestled my head in her neck and kissed her mark softly. She sighed dreamily, running her fingers through the short hair at the back of my head.

"Back to reality soon, huh?" She whispered.

I frowned, thinking of what was to come.

"We're going to get through this, and we will defeat Endora." I murmured, looking into her gorgeous eyes. She nodded, but I could feel her worry and sadness, despite her trying to block it off. "What is it, Amore Mio?"

"People will die, mates will lose their other halves, because of me." She looked away and I knew she was fighting her tears.

I cupped her face, shaking my head.

"No, Kiara. Not because of you. Endora is a fucking psychopath who has been at this shit way before you were born. People won't die because of you. Heck, if anything, she's my fucking pathetic excuse for a mother. Our people will fight to protect you and our kind. Never blame yourself for something that isn't in your fucking hands." I said, hoping she understood.

She nodded, but I knew she was a queen who felt compassion for every life. I just hoped, for her sake, that the damage was minimum…

I tugged her head down, tangling my fingers into her hair, as we kissed each other passionately. My eyes flashed and I lifted her down, wrapping my arms around her tightly as I pushed her up against the rail. I gripped her ass as I kissed her harder, feeling myself throb against her.

"Fuck." I groaned, breaking away.

"Shall we…" She asked, her eyes blazing purple as she ran her hand down the gap between my shirt, kissing my neck.

I wasn't going to fucking say no. I lifted her up, bridal style, making her smile as she caressed my jaw and kissed me deeply. Less than a minute later, we were inside the bedroom. I pushed her lightly onto the bed, gripping her thighs as I pulled her closer, kissing her roughly.

She bit her lip, nibbling sensually, and I knew my baby girl loved me letting loose. She truly was fucking made for me. I loved how she could handle me completely. I looked at the dress she wore, shame I won't see her in it again…

I gripped it from the top, ripping it off her. She gasped, her eyes flying open as she looked at her dress, but I was too busy admiring her fucking sexy body clad in skimpy lingerie which was barely containing her breasts. Just the look of her laying there, propped up slightly on her elbows, had me fucking craving her.

I yanked her forward, crushing my lips against hers, her moans only fuelling me further. I grabbed her breasts, squeezing them as I kissed her, before I pushed her back on the bed, licking the skin through the cutouts of her bra. She shivered, running her hand through my hair, her other hand caressing my back. I moved back, tearing her bra off, letting her breasts spring free.

Fuck did I love her. I smirked arrogantly as she pouted.

"I liked that bra."

"You have my card. Buy a hundred more, because I'll be ripping every piece of clothing off you." I murmured, grabbing her breasts and sucking on one of her nipples hard. She whimpered, covering her other one, only for me to push her hand away and play with it.

My lips claimed hers in a rough, passionate kiss, running my fingers down between her breasts and over her stomach, feeling her breath hitch before I cupped her pussy. Fuck. I groaned as I massaged her, loving the way her entire body reacted to my touch. A delicious moan left her lips as I bit into her neck, sucking hard, making her gasp.

I broke away from her lips, our eyes meeting for a second before I tore her thong off and began to eat her out. She tasted so fucking good. She moaned in pleasure as I swirled my tongue around her clit, I knew just how much pressure she liked, making her whimper as I flicked her clit.

"Oh, fuck Alejandro…"

I slipped my tongue into her, part shifting, letting it plunge deep into her as she cried out in pleasure. I knew she loved this, and I had wanted to do it again since that time back at the hospital. I used my thumb to rub her clit. She wriggled under me, moaning in pleasure and it wasn't long until she came, her orgasm ripping through her.

"Oh goddess…" She breathed, riding out her orgasm before sitting up and tearing open my shirt.

She ripped it off me, her eyes blazing. I smirked, slowly undoing my belt as she kissed my neck sensually, her nails digging into my back, scraping down my flesh. Leaving fucking delicious jolts rushing through me in her wake. She pushed my pants and underwear down, running her hand along my shaft, her lips kissing me roughly.

She moved back, taking my dick in her hands as she began to lick it up and down its entire length, kissing and sucking it as she went. I hissed in fucking pleasure, her hand playing with my balls.

Fuck, she knew exactly how to drive me fucking nuts. She moved back, cupping her breasts and pressing them against my cock, squeezing it between her tits. She looked up at me, as she began rubbing my dick between them. Pleasure fucking tore through me and my eyes darkened.

Fuck. She looked fucking hot as hell as she wrapped her mouth around my tip as she began to slide my cock between her breasts faster. Oh, she wanted to play dirty, then I'd give it to her. I grabbed her waist, pulling her half off the bed and kneeling on either side of her waist as I began thrusting faster, loving the way her large breasts squeezed me. She moaned out in pleasure, sucking on my tip as I fucked her breasts. I grabbed them squeezing them tighter around my dick as I felt myself nearing.

Fuck, she was such a nympho.

‘You like that baby?' She asked through the link, her voice sounding so fucking horny it was tipping me over the fucking edge.

I reached behind me with one hand, the other still squeezing her breasts, and shoved my fingers into her pussy. She gasped as I began fucking her with my fingers whilst fucking her breasts. Watching my tip fuck her mouth, her lush lips wrapped around them as she sucked on it.

"That's it, fuck." I groaned.

I slapped her pussy, making her whimper as I removed my fingers, grabbing her breasts with both hands once again as pleasure drove me fucking nuts.

As I hit my release, an euphoric orgasm rushed through me. I drew away, stroking my dick and letting my cum coat her breasts and stomach. Her skin was red in areas where I had grabbed her, as well as her breasts and her lips looking sore, as she lay there breathing hard.

I moved back, plunging two fingers into her soaking core, fucking her hard and fast, smirking as I slipped my pinkie into her ass. She cried out, her eyes widening before she relaxed, letting pleasure consume her.

"Oh fuck! Baby…nh!" Her back arched and I crouched down, flicking her clit with my tongue as her juices squirted out of her, soaking my hands and chin.

Fuck, that was hot. I moved back, watching her scream in pleasure. Her eyes were closed, her breasts bouncing. My eyes dipped lower as they fell on her pussy, watching her juices gush out. The sight made me fucking hard.

The moment she had rode out her orgasm, I flipped her over onto all fours, slapping her ass as I squeezed it.

"Fuck…" She breathed, I didn't give her a chance to recover as I thrust into her with full force.

She cried out as I grabbed her hips, holding her in place as I fucked her hard and fast.

"Oh, that's it." She whimpered. Her screams of pleasure were fucking music to me.

I slapped her ass hard, hearing her hiss from the pain and pleasure. Every fucking thrust hit her core, and I watched her ass bounce every time I slammed into her. Lost in fucking pleasure, I relished the way she felt wrapped around my dick.

Her hands clenched the bedding as I fucked her relentlessly. I felt myself nearing and pulled out, I didn't want this to end, she whimpered at the loss of contact. I dropped onto the bed, gripping her by her hair as I kissed her roughly. My hand squeezing her ass, she moaned as she climbed on top of me. I stroked her ass, as she gripped my dick and I loved how tiny her hand looked in comparison, as she guided me to her entrance.

I slammed her down onto me and began fucking her once more. She rested her hands on my thighs as she bounced on my dick. I gripped her hips, fucking her hard until she couldn't even keep up. She leant forward, bracing her hands on my chest. Her moans were breathless.

"Fuck!" She whimpered.

I sat up, grabbed her hair and slammed my lips against hers, kissing her roughly, drawing blood from those plush lips of hers. Plunging my tongue into her mouth, I ravished every fucking inch. Feeling her tighten around my dick.

"Nh…" She groaned as I slammed into her, feeling myself coming and knew she was close too. "I'm coming…"

"Come for me, Amore Mio…" I whispered huskily, as I attacked her neck with rough hot kisses, knowing when I was done she'd be covered in hickeys.

She moaned loudly as her orgasm tore through her, and I came moments later, releasing my seed into her.

"Oh, Alejandro…" She breathed heavily, locking her arms weakly around my neck. She groaned as an aftershock of her orgasm ripped through her. "I love you…"

She looked down at me, pressing her forehead to mine. We were both sweating lightly, breathing hard, our hearts pounding as one. Her hair was a fucking hot mess, her lips sore and looked fucking lush. I kissed them softly.

‘I love you way fucking more.' I whispered through the link, licking her lips slowly.

She sighed softly, sucking on my bottom lip. My dick was still buried deep within her, and I felt myself twitch. She closed her eyes, as we kissed one another slowly, catching our breath.

My phone began ringing and I frowned, ignoring it. Placing soft kisses down her jaw, glad when it stopped ringing. Only for it to fucking ring again.

I growled and she ran her fingers through my hair.

"It's probably important." She whispered, getting off my lap, biting her lips as I pulled out. She stumbled a little and she let out a weak giggle as I caught her, pulling her into my lap. "You seriously know how to drain me out."

"I'm not done with you." I said sexily.

The phone stopped ringing only for it to fucking start again. Something wasn't right. I reached over, picking it up from where I had left it on the charger earlier, and looked at it. Elijah and Rafael had called… so had Darien… Rayhan… the fuck?

"I've had several calls…" Kiara said, frowning as she looked at her own phone. "I had it on silent…"

I quickly unlocked my phone and called Rafael, who was the last to call.

"Finally." Rafael said, sounding dead serious.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Rayhan found the witch. Endora will attack in nine days, on All Hallows Eve and we know the location too. It's not your pack Al, it"s Elijah's."

Kiara gasped as she stood there. Nine days. That didn't give us much time…

"All our fucking plans…"

"Yeah, we need to relocate, make sure the families are safe and get a new plan in action." Rafael said, sounding fucking dead serious.

"Why there though?"

"That's where some witch was buried, around that pack. Someone she wants to resurrect… We need to re-plan, I know you were not going to come back until the day after tomorrow… but…" He sounded guilty.

"Yeah, I get it. Don't fucking stress it. We will be back before noon."

"Great…"

"What happened to the witch, Delsanra?" Kiara asked softly.

"The witch, what happened to her?" I asked Rafael.

"She's dead."

Kiara turned away, as she stood up and wrapped her arms around herself, I could feel her sadness. I tried not to focus on how fucking fine she looked in nothing but her black heels. Fuck did I want to bend her over and ravage her all over again.

"Fine. See you tomorrow." I hung up and stood up, walking over to her.

"She was only sixteen." She said quietly.

"She was a witch and they're sly as fuck. Don't feel bad." I said quietly.

"She gave us answers though." She whispered.

I didn't reply, as I kissed her shoulder and neck from behind.

"I'm sorry about cutting our time away short." I said.

She shook her head, kissing my cheek.

"No, this has been perfect, and we have plenty more to come." She said softly. She gave me a warm smile before she sighed deeply, tugging away and walking towards the bathroom. I watched her, admiring her ass and the slight sway of her hips, my gaze falling to her ankle.

In the last twenty-four hours, it had healed completely. She had woken up and twirled on her ankle, exclaiming how it didn't hurt at all. Watching her, I realised how true it was. Apart from her shaky legs thanks to the sex, she was walking well. It had never bothered me, but the fact I knew she was no longer in pain made me happy. I wish that I could take all her pain, now and forever.

I hoped that she never had to carry any burden in life, but deep down I wondered if all those she loved would truly make it out of this alive. For her sake, I hoped so. No matter how impossible that sounded…

No matter what happened, I knew my nympho would remain strong…
