Dad growled at him, shutting him up.
"No one’s getting anyone, now get this shit cleaned up." Alejandro growled dangerously to no one in particular.
"As our King, I demand to know why this hasn’t been dealt with. I almost lost my Luna!" Another Alpha shouted.
"What about my daughter! You said you’d marry her!" Alpha Bill protested.
"ENOUGH!" Alejandro thundered, now glaring murderously at the Alphas. His power exuded from him and all the Alphas lowered their heads in submission. I saw even Dad looked away, his jaw clenched. I knew as much as he fought it, he couldn't ignore Alejandro's Alpha aura.
The only person unaffected was me. I saw him glance at me before he looked away.
"I am dealing with this shit. I don’t need to justify that to anyone… Now get the fuck out of here. There is not going to be any engagement." Alejandro said coldly.
"I demand to know why!" Alpha Bill said, his face going purple. I had to say, he sure was brave... or incredibly stupid… Didn’t he know Alejandro’s temper?
Alejandro’s murderous gaze fell on him, but before he could do anything, Jasmin dragged her dad away. I saw her stop and look at me, but in the dim lighting, I couldn't make out the expression on her face.
"How many losses?" Alejandro asked coldly.
"Alpha Jake lost his Luna and Alpha Ali was killed as well. We have several injured-"
"I’ll help them." I said, lifting my skirt as I scanned the area, trying to find the injured.
"You need to be careful who you display your powers in front of." Alejandro said quietly.
"I don’t take orders from you." I said icily. I felt his gaze on me, and although I knew he had called off his engagement, I didn’t know what was going through his mind nor what I wanted.
‘Mom, Dad, where are the injured?’ I asked through the link, not wanting to appear as useless as I felt. I was only able to see the area that was illuminated.
‘10 o clock from your standing.’ Mom’s reply came.
I nodded, I always appreciated Mom’s help, she never made a fuss. I went in that direction, the smell of blood only getting stronger.
"I need some light… and move back." I said quietly. The few wolves who were helping moved back as I healed those injured. There was more than I anticipated but even when Dad came over to tell me to stop, I refused to do so.
I was almost done when Alpha Jake rushed to my side.
"Please save Ella! Please." He pleaded.
In the glow of the light that someone had set up, I could see the desperation in his eyes as he fell to his knees, holding the mauled, bloody body of his mate.
My heart ached with guilt as I looked at her. She was dead.
"I'm sorry Alpha Jake. I can't do anything." I said quietly.
"Please try! You’re a blessed wolf! Please!" He cried.
My own heart ached and I placed my hands on his mates body. My heart thudded as I tried, but there was nothing to grasp on to, nothing to heal when her body had shut down…
I sensed Mom, Dad and Alejandro come over, but I ignored them, looking at Jake.
"I am truly sorry for your loss, but there’s nothing I can do." I whispered. The guilt that I was the reason for this only growing.
"No… but…"
"I’m sorry."
"Come Kiara." Mom said. "Alpha Jake, she can't do anything, we are sorry."
