Fifteen minutes after Mom, Dad and Raven had arrived, and I had finished gushing with Raven, we had finally all taken a seat. It was just the six of us.
"I’m glad you two have worked things out." Mom said, watching as Alejandro ran his fingers through my hair.
Dad watched us sharply,
"Still hard to believe." He remarked.
But I could tell he was happy for me.
Alejandro smirked, now looking at me,
"I’m sure there’s a lot that you’d find way fucking more unbelievable." He said, wrapping his arm around my neck, before kissing me full on. I gasped, kissing him back, feeling my cheeks burn.
I could sense Dad’s anger, but I felt too lightheaded to care. I heard Rafael chuckle.
"Easy there, Elijah…" He said lightly.
"Oh my goddess!" Raven said, and I saw her camera flash go off.
I pushed Alejandro back. He smirked mockingly, clearly amused by Dad’s irritation.
"There’s a few things we need to discuss, so tell me, want to hear the good or the bad first?" Alejandro said, looking at Dad.
"I would say let’s get the bad over with." Dad replied with a frown.
"I want to know the good," Raven said. "But you two are marking each other tonight. In front of everyone. That’s going to be so hot... So what more good news can there be?"
"Bad news first." Dad said, giving Raven a look.
"Ok Uncle El, breath, bad news first." She said, with a small smirk.
Mom looked amused and I turned to Alejandro, wondering if he meant the truth about Jasmin.
"It’s about Jasmin." He said seriously.
Mom and Dad instantly frowned at the mention of her. I placed a hand on Alejandro’s thigh, doing my best not to squeeze it. I looked into his handsome face, silently asking if I could do this. He gave a curt nod and I looked at Mom.
"Her pack was destroyed, she came here and said Endora destroyed it. Funny thing though, she knew her name. Alejandro picked up on that so questioned her, and the rogue king, who is…" I looked at Rafael, realising there was a lot to tell…
"Ok… let’s start at the fucking beginning." Alejandro said, taking out a cigarette and lighter…
"….and she’s Zidane’s daughter, your half-sister, Mom… We did a blood test, it matched mine." I ended.
It had taken twenty minutes to fill them in on everything, Mom looked shocked as she turned to Dad sharply, her heart pounding. Dad pulled her into his lap. I could sense her confusion, guilt, irritation… but I didn’t understand what exactly was going through her.
"I wanted to rip her to shreds for her fucking lies… but I thought perhaps you might want to decide her fucking fate… Before you start feeling sorry for her… remember she was working with Endora…" Alejandro said coldly.
Mom sighed,
"So, her even coming here might be a part of their plan?" She asked quietly.
Alejandro tilted his head,
"She hasn’t brought anything on to pack grounds. But we’re still checking… Either way, she was sent here for a reason, but she doesn’t know why…I’m sure there’s way fucking more to it."
Mom nodded as Dad frowned deeply.
"Wow… So like... You were in a relationship with Kiara’s aunt…" Raven remarked, her different coloured eyes widening.
