Chapter 65
65 A United n ALEJANDRO
“Al.” Darien called me, but it was fucking hard to keep myself together when my woman was fucking
chained up down beneath these very pack grounds. “Call for a meeting in an hour’s time. Have the
witches on call and wire the Alphas involved. It’s time we took this fucker down. What’s the count at?”
“Four hundred and thirty-two.” Darien replied after checking his phone.
I nodded.
“Spread farther out if we fucking need to, no one rests until we have what we need.” I ordered coldly
before walking away from him, no longer able to control my aura that was swirling around me in waves of
darkness.
This fucker has hurt my family, repeatedly… but to try to use my own mate against me… The urge to rip
him apart piece by fucking piece sounded very enticing. I was about to go to my office at headquarters,
but I didn’t think staying in one fucking room for an hour was going to help. So instead, I decided to go
for a walk around the pack instead, and maybe for a run.
A pack that had gone from what looked like more of a military camp to a full-out pack with pups and
families. A group of young boys in their teens walked past,ughing and talking, not even knowing the
severity of life around them, although they went silent upon seeing me. “Alpha.” They lowered their
heads, clearly realising I was pissed off. I frowned, looking at the boy in the middle, with piercing brown
eyes and a tumble of dirty blond hair. Fred’s kid. One I had never mentioned to anyone, although I knew
a few may make the link as he looked like the spitting image of him. I had often been tempted to speak to
his mother… but I had always decided against it.
“Can I help you, Alpha?” He asked with a warm smile. That was something different from Fred, who had
always been quiet and moody. “No.”
He gave me a small polite smile and nodded. “None of you has a fag on you, do you?” They exchanged
looks wondering if it was a trick question before they shook their heads. “We aren’t eighteen yet…” One
of them said. “Yeah? I’m sure you all get up to crap.” I said, making a few of them look guilty. Yeah, I
fucking thought so. “But we don’t have cigarettes…” “Sorry.”
I nodded, motioning them to go as I walked off, leaving thern behind and frowning deeply. Azura was his
half-sister, and I was sure the day woulde when I would have to share that truth… but for now, I
didn’t n on delving into it. 2 I reached into my pocket, only to frown when I realised they were empty. I
needed a cigarette and there was nowhere I could fucking grab one. I didn’t want to ask anyone to bring
me a pack either, because I wanted to be alone…
Kiara.
Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Chained and fucking alone… I couldn’t have anyone watch her because she could use hermand on
them. At least the silver in her cuffs cut the mind link from her. Isting her. I sighed as I mind linked
Callum and exined the situation to him. ‘Don’t worry Alpha, I will look into drugging her so she is
unconscious and can’t harm herself.’ ‘Do that.’
I cut the link and entered the trees. I removed my sweatpants and shifted, I needed a run to clear my
head.
ELIJAH
Scarlett wrapped her arms around my neck from behind, her breasts pressing against my back as she
kissed my neck softly. “Hey…” She whispered. I stroked her arms, sighing heavily. “What’s on your
mind?” “You know, with Kiara losing control, Alejandro’s n to leak false information has gone out the
window.” I said, turning and looking into her beautiful sage green eyes. “Don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll sort
this out. The other night he mentioned he wanted one of us to stay here… Elijah… Will you stay?”
Always a beauty, always strong, and always a fearless Alpha, but I didn’t want to risk her…
“Kitten, I don’t want you to be out there on the battlefield when I’m here.”
She pressed a finger to my lips and shook her head.
“I heal faster… I need to be there. You know we need someone powerful here too. That’s you. To look
after the pups and Kiara.” She replied, frowning softly. I sighed.
“You really haven’t changed. As hot, tight, and stubborn as that first day I realised I was in love with you.”
I said cockily, enjoying the way her heart skipped a beat. “And although you are super possessive… You
have always let me do what I needed to. Never treated me as anything lesser.”
“We’re equal. Like you once said, and I have to admit it is probably one of the hottest things you have
ever said; I may not have a dick but-”
“I’m a fucking king.” She smiled, finishing the sentence, as we thought back to that moment from long
ago.
“Yeah, and you were right.” I smirked, reaching behind me and pulling her into my arms, inhaling her
scent as I buried my nose in her neck “So will you let me go?” I tilted my head, squeezing her ass as she
straddled me.
“You know if anything happens to you.” She ced a finger on my lips and smiled slightly.
“We live together, and we will die together. I know.” She whispered. 2
Yeah, a promise we made… but we both knew that if it came to that… we couldn’t abandon Azura…
Neither of us had to say it out loud, our eyes spoke what our lips were unable to. If something was to
happen, the other would have to live on for her… Even if only until she was ready to spread her wings
and fly. 2 She hugged me tightly, her heart racing. I held her just as tight. Scarlett may be an Alpha, heck
a king, but she too had her fears and worries, yet she continued to be brave for everyone else.
Earlier when Kiara had begun to lose herself and was begging to be locked away, it was Scarlett who
had given themand to listen to Kiara and lock her up. A decision we all weren’t able to make. Her
voice had been strong but I had felt her agony and pain leaking through the bond as she remained in
control for those around us. My phone beeped and we both moved back, realising it was time for the
meeting. “I love you, sweetheart.” I said quietly, giving her my best sexy smirk. One that she fell for back
in the day. She rolled her eyes. “I guess I love you too.” Despite her airy tone, she gripped my face and
kissed me passionately, sending off explosions of pleasure through us both… 2
ALEJANDRO
It was an hourter, and we were still in the middle of the meeting. We had several people on video call,
and I had finished outlining the n. The extra batch of people sent to gather blood from farther out
would hopefully speed up the process and get us the needed amount faster.
*There’s five groups being made; the decoy, the defence, the infiltration, extra back-up force, and of
course, the main group” I said, tapping the tabletop screen where I had a battle n pulled up. “Elijah
who’s staying behind from you two?”
“I amn.” He replied instantly.
I frowned, but I had a feeling he would be. Scarlett had been adamant that she was going to go to battle
when I had mentioned I wanted either or both to stay behind. I gave a curt nod, trying to ignore the pain
in my body. Whatever this was, was fucking draining, but my body was continuing to fight against it.
“Raihana and Elijah. You two are staying here. My two betas will also be staying behind. That is the
defence for the pack.” I stated.
“Nicholson, you will take charge of Blood Moon, and Chris, you will handle ck Storm if needed.” I said
as Rayhan nodded.
Although we shouldn’t be gone for too long, we needed to make sure everything was in ce. I
continued exining everything until I was sure everything was covered.
“Any questions?” I asked.
The screen crackled before another window popped up and a smirking Leo appeared.
“You really need to work on your online security, that took me max twenty minutes to hack into.”
Fucker.
“Yeah, well not everyone is a fuckingputer whizz, what do you want?” I asked, frowning as Marcel’s
frown deepened.
“Leo. This is not a joke.” He growled.
I motioned for him to leave it.
“I want in, I heard that we’ll be heading out literally right after my birthday, meaning I’d have shifted by
then.” He smirked. I didn’t need anyone to tell me that he was thrilled about his shift, but then again, who
wouldn’t be? “And why would you want toe on such a risky mission?” I asked, very aware of all the
Alphas on screen and everyone in the room watching us. He shrugged, sitting back and lighting a
cigarette. “You know Dad isn’t the toughest guy around, I’m just going to be there to make sure hees
back in one piece.” He said, but his eyes were ice cold. Although his words seemed normal enough,
making a few Alphas nod as if understanding his point and smiling at how protective he seemed of his
father, I understood the underlying meaning
It was obvious he thought I’d let Marcel die, or that I would put him in the line of fire and use him for
coteral. That wasn’t true, I didn’t want anyone to fucking lose their lives, and I would protect Marcel if
the need arose.
“I’ll let youe, but this is a team battle. Are you sure you will get along with everyone on the team? If
you try anything ore in the way.” “I won’t. I’ll make sure to steer clear of everyone’s way.” He cut in
and I nodded, not missing Rayhan’s frown from the corner of my eye.
“And stop hacking the fucking system.” I growled. He raised an eyebrow. “I’ll give you some tips on how
to strengthen this crap if youe out of this battle alive.” He said, shrugging, making Maria and Scarlett
frown. This fucker…
I turned back to the group. “It is going to be risky. Lives will be lost… but I promise you all I will do my
best to make sure they are minimum.” “I understand that Alpha, I do have a concern though. Are you
sure killing this enemy with just a special de will be enough?” Jacob, an Alpha from up north, asked. I
nodded, trying not to nce at Janaina or Magdalene. “It’s no simple weapon, it will do the job.” I said
before looking around at everyone. “I have one request; as always, I have given the option for those who
want out or do not want to participate, all of you have offered to help and I’m fucking grateful for it.
However, don’t force your people, only those who are willing shoulde forward.” “I appreciate that
Alpha King, but they are our pack members. They will obey.” “They will, but if their heart isn’t in it then
there’s no power behind that warrior. A time maye where every man and woman will have to stand
in battle whether they like it or not, but right now, we have the power to give them the choice.” I said
quietly. I saw Leo frown, he probably didn’t believe me, but I meant it. “We are with you, King Alejandro.”
One by one, they all followed suit, and the weight of the situation cast a sombre feeling across the room.
“This battle may be personal for you Alpha Alejandro, but the Queen, Luna Delsanra, and Dante are
important to us all. Besides, by letting this thing do as he wishes, he will only harm more and more of our
kind. He needs to be stopped anyway.” Damon said seriously. I nced at him and nodded. It was true,
he wanted Dante, and although what exactly he wanted with him was still a mystery, I was certain we’d
find out one way or another. Rayhan’s phone rang, and everyone turned their attention to him. He cut the
call, looking down at the screen, before a small smirk crossed his lips. ‘Has the blood count risen?’ I
asked through the link. He gave me a nod, and I smirked. Perfect.
The taste of blood filled my mouth once again, but I swallowed it. I needed to remain strong for my
people and for my family. I “We got this.” Elijah said and I nced up sharply. Our eyes met, and I
nodded.
Yeah, we fucking did.
