For a moment I was distracted by her sheer aura and power, but the sudden thought that this display of power could attract enemies brought me back to the present. What fucking confused me was how the hell had she kept this much power hidden?
"Kiara." I called her quietly.
Her and Raven both turned, the brat looked alarmed but Kiara looked pissed. It was the only way I could describe those astonishing purple orbs of hers and the gaze that was directed right at me.
"How could you?" She said.
I raised an eyebrow. What had I done? I didn’t even fucking know…
‘Alpha, that aura needs to be kept hidden or her secret won’t stay secret for long. Being able to see an aura isn't normal.’ Darien said.
Yeah, I know that you fucker. I glared at him for a second.
‘Get the midget home, I’ll deal with Kiara.’ I said coldly. Darien nodded.
"Don’t you dare come near me." Kiara growled as I stepped closer.
"Too bad, I don’t take fucking orders from no one." I said, my eyes flashing red.
I let my own aura out, seeing Raven back away at the sheer force. Darien nudged her with his snout before pulling her away.
"Don’t hurt her!" She shouted to me.
I didn’t bother replying. The darkness of my aura seemed to press against Kiara’s, but for the first time in my fucking life, I felt like someone had just been granted equal power. Not once did her power falter or fade as my aura enveloped the area. Her blazing eyes didn’t leave mine, I didn’t know why she was angry but the accusatory gaze in her eyes stung a little. But when did I become a fucking wuss?
Well, if that wasn’t going to work, I guess we’ll go with option two. Sorry beautiful, but this is going to hurt a little… In a flash, I was in front of Kiara. Before she could even react, I hit her pressure point in her neck hard, knocking her unconscious. I caught her in my arms as her body became limp, feeling a slice of guilt at the bruise that my fingers had left on her otherwise flawless neck. The urge to kiss her there filled me but I looked away.
I was about to scoop her up bridal style when I heard the distant, unearthly growl of a wendigo.
Kiara had just sent out a fucking lighthouse signal giving away her location.
50. An Attack
ALEJANDRO
‘A Wendigo is nearby. I want everyone to be ready. Secure the premises, I want three squads of warriors around the apartment blocks. Make sure no kid or woman who can’t fight is out.’ I commanded through the pack link.
This wasn’t good. I needed Kiara safe. I lifted her bridal style, breaking into a run and heading towards my mansion.
‘Julio, Bryan, get the Blood Moon wolves to my mansion. I want all four of you to keep an eye on Kiara, Raihana and Raven.’
I broke the link with them. Just as I got there, I jumped up onto the ledge and slid my window open. I pulled back the bedsheets and placed her on my bed quickly, pulling the blanket up to her shoulders.
About to turn away, I paused. She was the first woman to ever sleep on this bed. If only I could keep her… I kissed her forehead softly, brushing my fingers along her jaw before I stepped back. Going to the window I jumped out, just as Rayhan left the house, pulling his shirt off.
"Stay here." I said coldly.
He frowned and was about to speak when I glared at him.
"Kiara is the target. I need someone able to stay here just in case." I said curtly.
Fuck, I hated this shit. I could see the look on the fuckers' face, getting curious like a new-born pup.
"Just do what I fucking said." I said before walking off.
"Got it…"
I raced off, shifting as I headed towards the direction the Wendigo was spotted.
