"So, what are you saying… She’s my aunty?" I asked, disgusted.

Alejandro slept with my apparent aunt… and I slept with his nephew… Wow, we were crazy. Although he had no idea at the time, it was still crazy.

"So why are you so restless about that?" I asked, pushing the random thought away.

"She’s working with Endora. She slipped up yesterday by mentioning her name in my office, I went and asked Marcel who they were discussing back in the caverns... He said Zidane’s daughter. Endora fucking planted her to begin with… She wanted me to take her as a mate, so I’d have a child with someone from the Asheton bloodline…" His rough voice was ice cold.

My heart was racing as it all hit me hard. How long had Endora been playing this game? How could she use her own children as pawns? My anger towards Jasmin only grew as well.

"So why are you worried?" I asked.

"Because… I want to fucking rip her to shreds." He said, the look in his eyes so cold that I felt my stomach twist, my heart pounding at the pure rage and anger I saw within them. "But then a part of me is saying to let your mother have the final verdict. I don’t trust her, and I fucking want to torture her until I extract every fucking piece of information from her."

I nodded, cupping his face as I pressed my forehead to him. I knew he was using all his self-control right now.

"Question her… If you want to let Darien or someone else handle it then do. When Mom comes, if you want her to make the final decision, that’s your choice… It’s not your fault you never saw past her…" I said quietly.

Realising that he must be beating himself up over the fact that he had fallen into Endora’s trap. Our eyes met and he simply frowned.

"How the fuck do you do that?" He asked, his eyes dipping to my neck, and I saw them flash red.

"Know what you’re feeling or what’s troubling you?" I asked, trying not to get lost in his scent. My wolf purred as he throbbed against me. She sure had been happier since we had gotten together.

"Both." He said.

"I’d like to say because I’m made for you? But in all honesty, it’s partially my ability to sense one’s emotion." I said, running my fingers through his hair, playing with the longer section on top.

"Once we mark each other… We’re going to be connected even more… Which means you’d get into my fucking head…"

"Have something to hide, Alpha?" I purred, brushing his hair back, before kissing him. Pleasure rushed through me as he kissed me back.

"Nothing to hide, but I’d rather you not see my dark side…"

"I can handle everything about you…" I whispered.

"You sure fucking can." He replied huskily.

He flipped me onto the bed. His necklaces brushed my chest as he claimed my lips in a rough kiss whilst he straddled me. His hands pinning my wrists to the bed sent rivets of sparks through me. I moaned against him just as I heard footsteps. Alejandro growled, getting off me as he had left the door open.

A smiling Rafael appeared at the door as I sat up blushing.

"You should at least shut the door…." He said, smirking when he glanced at his brother.

I glanced sideways, blushing when I saw his hardened shaft in his pants. Kill me now… Rafael burst out laughing.

"This is a first brother…" He snickered.

"What’s a fucking first?"

"Well for one being so smitten… I like it. Well, I would say carry on… but Elijah and Scarlett are on their way. They will be here within the hour for sure." He grinned.

"A fucking hour? And you came all the fucking way up here to tell us that?" Alejandro growled.

"Yep." Rafael said with a cheeky grin.

"Dad and Mom…" I said. I guess it was time we told them…
