"Ok…" Mom said, softly going over to her. She moved away not looking at Mom.

"You’re pregnant. Are you going to risk the pup?" Alejandro asked.

I knew I was pregnant as well, but unlike me, Aunty didn’t have any special abilities.

"As if you care, you killed its father already. One more dead, I’m sure you wouldn’t even bat an eyelid!" She spat venomously.

That wasn’t fair… It hurt to hear her say that about him when he had done this for her. He had done what Mom and Dad wanted to do too… he became the bad guy alone… But I also knew she was hurting. The room went silent, and a heavy tension fell.

Thick darkness swirled through the room. Alejandro’s eyes flashed, his aura suffocating everyone but me.

"Remember who the fuck you’re talking to. He deserved it." He said coldly.

"That was my decision to make!" She shouted, her eyes flashing, her teeth and claws elongating.

"Too bad he was part of my pack." Alejandro shot back coldly. I tried to prevent him, but he refused to be stopped. Aunty Indy glared at him until she was forced to submit. "My only regret, I didn’t send him off to a more painful death."

She gasped, and I knew those words must have stung. After all, he had been her mate…

‘Alejandro, baby please…’ I whispered, pleadingly. But he refused to listen.

"Karma is a horrible thing, Alpha… I wonder how you’d feel if Kiara suffered like me!"

"Indy!" Mom gasped.

I kept my face passive. She was hurting. She didn’t mean that... She was only trying to hurt Alejandro…

"Imagine if she was pregnant! And you died! Then I’m sure none of you would be there telling her to move on and just act ok!" She shouted.

"Indigo stop." Dad said, he looked pale, but he had his emotions in check.

If only she knew how I knew those words were a possibility. How I knew, even if I dare not speak it… I was scared to lose him… I knew he’d risk his all… for our kind. It terrified me day and night, and neither I nor Alejandro dared speak of it. Although, I knew it must have crossed his mind too…

"I may be a fucking monster, but I am not a shithead like that fucker Fred… You’ve had enough time playing the fucking victim. He fucking broke you, and you’ve become a pathetic excuse of who you once were. Fix your fucking self up."

"I hate you! You’re a monster!" Aunty cried, her entire body shaking as she fought against his Alpha aura.

Before I could even comprehend what was happening, Alejandro slashed her across her mate mark. The smell of blood and the splash of blood shocking me to the core.

"I, Alpha Alejandro Rossi, exile you from the Night Walkers Pack. Effective immediately." His cold, emotionless voice rang in the room. My heart was pounding as I realised he had just cut the link with her. I felt the gut-wrenching pull in my chest before the emptiness that followed.

She stepped back, the three claw marks dripping blood down her shoulder as the rest in the room remained silent. Everyone was shell shocked and all I could hear were their thudding hearts…

Exiles were rare… Usually, people joined one pack to another breaking the old tie… but this method was brutal. Those marks would always remain upon her and to make it worse, they had destroyed her mate mark... One of the only things she had left to remember her mate by.

Mom looked pale as she stood there, frozen. No one moved until Alejandro pushed past both women and stormed out of the room, leaving a deafening silence in his wake…

116. Precious Moments

ALEJANDRO

Her words rang in my fucking head, saying exactly what I was fucking worried about. If I hadn’t met my nympho, I wouldn’t have cared… If I was killed no one would have cared, but for Kiara, I had to stay alive.

Indigo had become a shell of the woman she once was, and it fucking scared me that if anything were to happen to me… Is that what would happen to Kiara? Just the thought made my blood run cold… I ran my hand through my hair, smoking my cigarette.

I needed to stop thinking shit like this.

"Baby…" Kiara’s sexy voice came as she walked over to me, placing her hand on my waist as she looked up at me. Her eyes were full of concern. "Relax."
