1.49 am…

I closed my eyes, honing in on the voices.

Alejandro… and the other voice sounded familiar too… It took me a moment to click who it was, and I almost jumped out of bed. Aunty Indy!

"…. At all." She was saying.

"Hmm, at least there was some progress. How come he didn’t come himself to report this?" Alejandro's moody yet panty wetting voice came.

The man has made me hornier than I've ever been. I groaned inwardly. Note to self, never approach Alejandro when I'm half asleep. I’d probably lose all of my common sense…

"He was tired and I'm pretty energised." Indigo said.

"You know, you can talk to me if anything’s bothering you." He said quietly, his voice was barely audible, so much so that I wondered if I’d misheard him. Was the arrogant mean Alpha was being considerate?

"I know. Nothing is bothering me, Alpha." She said.

"Then you should take care of yourself." He replied curtly.

An odd feeling of curiosity began eating up at me. Why was he being so nice? Well, it was nice for him to be anyway. Was it the nicest he’s ever been towards anyone maybe?

"Of course, Alpha." She said. "Is she here?"

"Your niece, yeah she is, as irritating as her father and fucking stubborn like her mother." He said.

Yeah, and you still wanted a piece of me. I made a face.

"She's reckless, headstrong and one of the sweetest souls I know." Indigo replied

Thank you Aunty, for reminding him how nice I am. Dumb big bad Alpha!

"I'm presuming now that you’re here, you’ll take her and the brat with you tomorrow?"

"Umm, I’ll ask Frederick. He just got back, I don’t want him to get overwhelmed. It might be better that they stay here."

I felt a pang of disappointment at that. Didn’t aunty want us? That didn’t make sense. She loved our girly sleepovers whenever she visited.

"Don’t fucking blame him, I don’t blame you for not wanting them." Alejandro’s reply came.

This guy… I heard Aunty laugh. Now I pouted displeased, he even made a woman laugh? Why haven't I seen this side of him.

"Nice to know you have welcomed them in. Good night, Alpha I’ll be heading back."

"Don’t mistake anything for fucking kindness, and I mean it - you need to take it easy."

"OK…" She replied, seemingly pretty confused too. She seemed to have walked off and I sat up frowning.

Why did aunty Indy say she didn’t want us? It was a little strange, but then again, we didn’t really know her mate or see him often. Maybe he was just like his dummy Alpha.

A shadow fell over me and my heart thumped as I leapt from the bed, stumbling and falling in the process as I spun around to look at the figure that now stood behind my bed.

"It’s rude to eavesdrop."

43. An Apology

KIARA

I placed a hand to my heart, taking a deep breath.
