"Don’t touch me!" Kiara shrieked, pushing him back.
To my surprise, he didn’t react.
"Look…"
"Don’t talk to me! Stay away from me, you bastard!" She shrieked,
"Kiara, you need to control-"
"Don’t! And I mean fucking don’t tell me what to do!"
Her powers only grew and I could almost see Alejandro’s black aura against her vibrant purple one. How the hell was Kiara standing up to him? That wasn’t normal.
"I have no choice." He said quietly.
She raised her hand to strike him and in a move faster than the eye could keep up he grabbed her wrist, spinning her around and striking her neck, knocking her unconscious. Her head slumped back against him and he caught her around the waist, looking down at her with a deep unreadable frown on his face. Her powers vanished and for a moment I wasn’t able to move forward. It wasn’t because of her power, which was now gone…
I watched Alejandro look down at Kiara with a deep, thoughtful expression on his face, and I wondered what was going through his mind.
Why did it feel like I was intruding? I frowned, pushing the thought aside as I walked over to them.
"I’ll take her." I said quietly.
He nodded, not even saying a word as he lifted her bridal style and placed her in my arms, almost gently.
I frowned as he turned away. A thought occurred to me… but it felt too far-fetched. No. It wasn’t possible.
"Alejandro…" I began. What did I want to say anyway?
"I better go deal with those fuckers."
It was all he said before he rushed off in a blur.
‘I'm heading back to the mansion with Kiara.’ I mind linked Liam. Quickly filling him in on what happened with Kiara.
‘Wait for us, we haven't found our mates anyway.’ Liam replied.
I looked down at my daughter, her cheeks stained with tears, as she sniffed in her sleep.
Who had hurt her? I intended to find out and if it was who I thought it was… Then what?
65. Her Plan
RAVEN
My heart was racing as Raihana squeezed my hand, both of us were staring at the television. The eerie music only adding to our tense state. The front door opened and Raihana screamed, making me flinch before the light was flipped on as someone entered the living room.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw my favourite boys, both of their blue eyes were on me. I almost shrieked as I jumped over the sofa, unable to decide which one to hug first. I pulled them both into a hug. Well, I was practically hanging from their necks, thanks to my tiny size.
They both wrapped their arms around me and Damon chuckled.
"Someone missed us."
"More enthusiastically than Kia." Liam said, kissing the top of my head.
I smiled as I let go of them.
"Ok boys, you can put me down." I said, still suspended in the air thanks to their hold on me. I was about to say more but my smile vanished when I saw Uncle El carrying Kiara. "What happened?"
