Chapter 71


    71 Goodbyes ALEJANDRO


    The meeting was over, we would be leaving soon. Everything was finally in ce. I had given the men of


    my pack half an hour to say goodbye to their families, because although I would do my best to make


    sure the losses were minimum… There would still be losses. “You aren’t well Alpha, are you sure you


    should be leading?” Carmen said quietly as we walked towards the cells. I cast her a cold re. “I’m fine,


    go do whatever the fuck you need to.”


    Imanded coldly. “I am the fucking king, and I n to lead my men regardless of my health.1 She


    lowered her head and walked out, leaving me alone to head down to where my queen was bound. Sure,


    I was in fucking pain and the bouts of coughing up blood were growing, but I was still fucking strong. My


    stomach twisted the closer I got to where Kiara was locked up. Taking a deep breath, I unlocked the door


    then walked down and through to the end cell. Shey on a b of silver, chained to it. She was also


    hooked up to a machine that was keeping her unconscious via a drip. Her face was pale, and she looked


    like she had lost some weight.


    Fuck, Amore Mio… I picked up her slender hand, which was restrained by cuffs, bending down and


    kissing it softly. The strong sparks danced between us before I ced her hand back down gently. I won’t


    able to bid her farewell or tell her I got this shit under control because it could alert him.


    I love you, I swear we will destroy this fucker and send him back to hell once and for all.


    I stroked her hair, frowning deeply. Was I doing the right thing by letting Maria do this? I know she was


    adamant, but I really needed to be sure. I didn’t like this, not one fucking bit. Delsanra, Dante, you… I’m


    going to fix this. Wait for me because I will be back No one messes with my family and fucking lives.


    Leaning down, I threaded my fingers through her hair and kissed her lips.


    Hold on.


    I forced myself back and looked down at her for a final time, as if wanting to etch this moment into my


    mind. I hoped that with his death, her memories returned.


    I turned away, not wanting to linger for longer than normal or make the Djinn suspicious if he was


    somehow awake.


    I nced at my watch, I had twenty minutes to meet the kids and get ready.


    I had gotten changed and had just gone to see Del who was unconscious still only to find Maria was


    there too. She was already dressed, ready for the mission. “You can still change your mind.” I said


    quietly. She shook her head. “My mind is made up and I cannot wait to see him again.” She said, smiling


    at me, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.


    My heart squeezed and I nodded. She fucking wanted this… “Say hi to him for me then.” I said quietly. “I


    hope he’s proud, I know I’m not even half the man he was… but I’ll carry on trying.” ?


    She nodded, her eyes glittering with unshed tears. I quickly bent down, giving Delsanra a kiss on the


    forehead before leaving the room. I hated fucking goodbyes. ‘Leo’se, Al.’ Darien said through the


    link, making me frown. ‘I thought the fucker was going to meet us on the way.’ ‘He said he couldn’t bother


    waiting, shall I let him into the mansion?’ ‘Yeah, Raven and Raihana are with the kids in the lounge. He


    won’t try anything.’ ‘Got it.’


    I cut the link and headed downstairs myself. Entering the lounge, Dante looked at me as two of the


    Westwood five sat next to him. He yed a game on the tablet, with them watching with rapt attention.


    Raven was carrying Tatum and Sienna as she sang some weird shit to them. Ahren and her other three


    were ying on the floor. One thing I had to admit was she sure fucking knew how to look after multiple


    kids.


    “Where’s Ri?” I asked Raven.


    “She went to say goodbye to Chris.” Raven said, her own eyes filled with concern. 1


    I nodded, frowning “And Liam?” I asked. “In the garden, watching the girls.”


    I nodded and turned to Dante.


    “I’m leaving soon.” I said to him.


    “I know.” He said, looking up at me.


    I nodded, crouching down by the Westwood three and Ahren, who were busy ying with blocks. I


    ruffled their hair for a moment before I stood up. Ahren grabbed onto my leg, staring up at me.


    “Bye-bye.” He said, with a cute as fuck wave.


    I smirked. “Rather impatient to get rid of me aren’t you pup?”


    He simply toddled off, so I went over to Dante, sitting on the other side of theo. “We shouldn’t be too


    long, take care of all these fuckers, I don’t know if your aunt will be able to cope alone.” I said looking at


    Raven. “Oh, I’ll manage, don’t worry.” Raven replied with a smile, just as Elijah entered with Scarlett, who


    was also ready to leave. “I’ll go meet the girls.” “Yeah, and bring Leo back.” Elijah remarked, shaking his


    head, and I wondered what he meant. I hope the fucker wasn’t being a dick


    Ruffling Dante’s hair and earning a frown from him, I stood up.


    He was going to be ok


    He was a goddamn Demi-God.


    I looked at him but it was still fucking hard to get my head wrapped around it. He looked at me, the hint of


    a faint smile crossing his lips. 1 “Want to say something?” “Nah, just stay strong.” I said quietly. I don’t


    give a shit if he’s a demi-god or not, he’s still my pup. He nodded, giving me a smile. “I will, Dad.”


    “Scarlett, can you get Rayhan out front? I don’t want him and Leo to cross paths. I don’t have time to


    deal with that shit.”


    She nodded, kissing Elijah a final time before she left the room.


    “I’ll go meet the girls then I’ll be heading out too.” I said, leaving the room.


    I reached the open doors, stopping in my tracks. Liam was standing there looking worried. I cocked a


    brow, stepping out into the sunshine to see Kataleya and Sk standing there watching Azura, who was


    supporting a rather red forehead and staring challengingly at Leo, who was sitting on the steps. His legs


    sprawled out in front of him and I could sense his aura. 2


    “Again.” She said, crossing her arms.


    Leo raised an eyebrow, picking up the ball and bouncing it off her head. She didn’t even flinch, instead


    catching the ball and throwing it back at him. “Again.”


    Fuck, she was doing that weird shit again… Leo frowned, clearly wondering what the Westwood Devil’s


    angle was. 2 “You’re fucking weird.” He said coldly, tossing the ball at her forehead again. Liam looked


    relieved to see me, whilst Kataleya was clearly worried, and Sk was obviously enjoying it.


    I


    “Again.” She said, unblinking as she stared at Leo. “This kid’s fucking psychotic.” Leo remarked, ncing


    at me as he hit her forehead with the ball again. 2 “Again.” Azura said, making Leo frown. “Nah, I’m


    bored.” He said, tossing the ball to the ground and letting it roll away. “Cut this shit out.” I warned.


    Azura watched him for a moment, before she ran after the rolling ball. “Leo started it.” Sk chimed in,


    frowning at him. “Yeah once, she’s the one who told me to hit her again.” Leo shot back, taking his lighter


    from his pocket.


    Liam sighed.


    “Azura is just…” “A weirdo.” Leo finished, pulling out a cigarette. “I thought you weren’t going toe


    here?” I asked, crossing my arms as Azura returned with the ball, looking as normal as ever, as if she


    hadn’t just had a ball bounced off her forehead several times. She stopped a foot behind him, and


    despite her casual expression, I had a feeling she was going to try something. “I changed my mind; I was


    bored as fuck waiting around.” He shrugged, but just as he was about to light the cigarette, Azura


    mmed the ball at the back of his head, knocking the cigarette from between his lips. He growled


    menacingly, turning as fast as lightning. Kataleya gasped in horror, Liam muttered a swear, and Sk


    cackled. As for the devil herself, she simply stared at the ring man despite her heart pounding. 1


    “What the fuck was that?” Leo hissed.


    I was by his side in seconds. Although I knew he wouldn’t hurt her, I wasn’t going to risk it.


    “What the – was what?” She red back Ok, she was obviously really pissed off. The young Alpha wolf’s


    eyes shed, his powerful aura emanating off him. 1


    “The actual fuck? You psychotic-” Leo started.


    “Stupid person!”


    “Leo did that to Azura first, Daddy!” Sk added defensively, as Liam scooped his sister up into his arms


    protectively. “Put me down!” Azura snapped. “Come on Zuzu, calm down.” Liam tried to soothe her.


    “No! He hit me first!” She shouted. “But weren’t you saying ‘again, again’?” Liam tried to calm the


    struggling girl who was kicking wildly in his arms. “I don’t care! Give me the ball!” She shouted. Leo stood


    up, ring at the screaming girl before I ced my hand on his shoulder firmly. “She’s a kid, are you


    seriously going to start a fucking fight? Why the fuck were you using her as a target?” I asked, pulling


    him back He shrugged me off roughly, his eyes zing a steely blue. “She’s a fucking maniac.” He


    growled. “You’re the maniac!” Azura shouted, ring at him murderously. “Get out of my sight, or I will


    poke your eyes out and cook them!” B “Azura!” Liam tried to stop her. “Oh yeah?” Leo growled. “Yeah!”


    Azura taunted, her bright blue eyes dazzling with anger as she red at him. “Oh for fucks sake, can you


    two cut the fuck out?! Leo, Liam, let’s go!” I growled, bending down next to my own girls. “Sky, why are


    you enjoying this?” ; She shrugged, pondering over something thoughtfully. “I don’t know, it was funny.


    Daddy, can you pay me for every time Leo swears too?” She asked hopefully. 5 What the fuck was this


    girl so deprived of that she needed so much money? “No.” I answered, not missing Kataleya’s small


    smile. I pulled them both into my arms and nted a kiss on both of their heads. They may be weirdos,


    but they are my weirdos. “I’m going to head out, we’re going to make everything ok again. I want you two


    to be good girls, alright?”


    “Ok, Daddy.” Kataleya whispered, fear filling her eyes.


    I looked into her eyes.


    “I promise you, he won’t be able to hurt anyone ever again.”


    She nodded before giving me a one-armed tight hug. That teddy she always carried around held tiyhuy


    in her other arm. “Alright, let’s get going.” I said, standing up and looking over at the other three. Liam


    was still holding onto Azura tightly. She was looking at Leo with distaste, something he Was now finding


    using


    “I hope you get hurt” She said to leo.


    “Yeah, and I hope you walk off a fucking chill.” He shot back, smoking his cigarette.


    “I&O” I threatened. “let’s go.”


    Marcel was right, his aura was very powerful, and I was curious to see what his wolf’s true capacity was.


    “Take care of yourself, kid.” I said to Azura, about to ruffle her hair, but the look of pure rage on her face


    made me decide I’d rather want to keep my hand intact before her fucking piranha side came out and


    she bit it off. 1


    I swear that pup was fucking rabid. “Love you, Zuzu…” I heard Liam say before I nced back at the


    twins. 2 Both were watching me, and I gave them a small smile. Everything would be ok.


    The team was assembled. Everyone was sombre and serious. They had all bid farewell to their families


    and mates. I had seen Liam say goodbye to his kids and mate. Scarlett and Elijah… Chris saying


    goodbye to Raihana and Tatum. Maria meeting everyone one final time… 1 The chances of lives being


    lost were high… but I hoped the losses were minimal. “For our packs, for our families, for what’s fucking


    right, we will see this mission through. We should get there by nightfall! Remember to stick together, and


    protect your allies! We wille out victorious.” I said loudly, knowing that every werewolf or witch


    present could hear me clearly


    A roar of approval rippled through the crowds. “For victory!”

    Everyone followed suit, and I gave a curt nod. They knew their jobs, the rules and their orders. I knew


    they would carry them out ordingly. Darien had the de; one he would pass to Maria at the right


    time. He didn’t know that the wielder would die, I had told him that she would be carrying out the final


    attack but we had kept the vital points of the mission secret. The djinn would be expecting me, and I


    nned to be the decoy.


    I just hoped Rayhan forgave me for not telling him… A sharp wind blew through the crowds as I looked


    into the eyes of the men and women warriors. I kept my emotions bidden, only showing confidence and


    power. It gave them the courage they needed it and with it my own resolve only strengthened. We were


    going to seed. One hundred fucking percent. “Alright, let’s get this shit done.” I growled before I


    shifted and broke into a run, the rest following my lead…


    The time to kill this fucker was finally here.
