"We’ll figure something out, Red." He said, his sexy voice soothing the crashing waves that were consuming me.
"I hope so… I know I sent Kia off with Alejandro, but I'm worried about her too." I said, running my fingers through my hair.
He looked down at me, frowning with displeasure.
"Yeah… but I don’t think he’d harm her."
"I guess not. The fact they’re mates is still…" I said.
"Yeah, I know. He’s like what? Three years younger than you…?" Elijah said, displeased. I smirked slightly.
"That’s true. Looking back, I remember that time at Raihana’s second birthday and how he saved her… I know he had been mean with what he said back then, but do you know he told Kiara she’s perfect as she is? Before they were even mates." I said, smiling softly.
Elijah’s eyes narrowed.
"So, they were flirting before the mate bond." He muttered.
Well, I was not going to mention that they had been doing a lot more than that…
"Meaningless flirting, handsome. You can’t really complain." I said, leaning up. I brushed the frown lines from between his brows. "You’re looking grumpier by the day."
"Do you blame me when there's always something or other stressing me out?" He said, giving me a look.
"Oh… is my man tense? I know a few ways to calm you down…" I suggested seductively.
Running my hands down his chest, smirking slightly as he licked his lips, his tongue piercing flashing as it caught the light.
"I like the sound of that…" He leant down, about to kiss me when someone whistled.
I turned and glared at Rafael.
"Sorry… Am I interrupting anything?"
"Yeah, you were." Elijah growled.
"Well… As much as I’d love to say to you to carry on, I was wondering if you two wanted to go down to see the Rogue? That Wendigo you guys caught, Kiara turned it back. He’s fed and a little calmer now. Darien thought maybe we could get some more information out of him."
"Sounds like a plan." Elijah said, despite him looking me over slowly, his eyes darkening with lust.
‘We’ll continue this later.’ He said through the link.
‘I can’t wait.’ I replied. He kissed my lips passionately before we both followed Rafael out.
I stopped in the kitchen where Raihana and Maria were cooking something, asking them to keep an eye on Indigo whilst we were gone. I could see her outside and knew that, in the long run, she’d be ok. Maybe the goddess would gift her with a second chance mate…
85. Feeling Jealous
KIARA
We had changed routes and had now been in the car for over three hours in total. I was feeling a bit peckish too.
"Isn't this towards Rafael’s pack?" I said, addressing him without uncle still felt weird.
Alejandro looked at me with a small mocking smirk on his lips.
"Rafael? What happened to ‘Uncle’?’"
Oh great, he picked up on that…
