82. A Car Ride

ALEJANDRO

I looked at the body of the man before me, I noticed that his breathing was shallow as he lay there unconscious.

I moved Kiara away from him, wanting to hold on to her forever but I knew I couldn't.

"Did you feel anything? Apart from turning this fucker human again." I asked her.

"He was in pain, it felt like despair. I don’t think they’re the real enemy." She said. Her sexy voice was like fucking music to my ears.

The urge to just close my eyes and listen to her filled me. I wasn’t sure I’d ever get the luxury or even the courage to ask her to lull me to sleep… I frowned. Where the fuck was my mind going?

"Was there magic?"

"I couldn't sense it off of him." Her reply came. I looked at her, her eyes gazing at the ground, a few inches away from where the man lay. My heart fucking twisted at that, how did it feel to not be able to see? I had the strong urge to pull her into my arms. But I didn’t.

"Ok… We’ll leave the rest to Darien. Let’s go."

She nodded and I took her hand. It fit in mine so fucking perfectly. I led her out and mind linked Darien.

‘Darien, Kiara reversed whatever process made that thing. It’s a rogue, feed it and make sure you get answers. Tell Callum to check it out too and you can let him know what Kiara did, he had wanted her to check anyway.’

‘Got it Alpha, and as a friend… Don’t fuck this up, please. Do your best.’

‘Fuck off.’ I replied, cutting the link.

What the hell was this, a getaway or some fucking healing tryst? No, it was a mission and one I needed to see through for her safety. I wasn’t sure how fucking stupid me taking her with me was, but I’d find out...

An hour later we were on the road, and if I thought I could focus on anything but her, I sure as fuck was wrong. We were in my black Range Rover Sports, a car I used to think was roomy, I was wrong. Her scent was like a fucking drug, and I was getting high on it. Her every move was messing with me. The way the seatbelt pressed against her breasts in that green top of hers. Her cleavage was fucking stealing my attention, and she had her legs crossed sexily as if taunting me that I couldn't fucking touch her.

Music was play on the low but seriously, this shit was all about sex or love. Like what the fuck was this on for? She had chosen the radio channel, so I had left it. Yeah, I was being a fucking whipped dipshit and letting her do what she wanted… But I had my reasons. Ok, I don’t have anything to justify myself with... I just wanted to fucking please her. I admit it, but I wasn’t ever going to acknowledge it out loud.

I glanced over at her as she sighed, running her fingers through her hair, her eyes on her phone as she texted away. She and I alone were a mistake. All I wanted to do was fuck her brains out.

I could hear her heartbeat racing every time she looked at me. Since we got in the car, she had kept herself busy on her phone. Talking to her brother, that fucker Damon and Raven. Yes, I saw the names on her phone… I wasn’t curious, I just fucking saw by accident, maybe... At least I could tell from her face it wasn’t anything fun and I guessed it involved Indigo’s situation.

I heard from Darien that Scarlett had flipped and had gone to find him. She and Indigo had argued, and Elijah had to calm them down. I had sent Fred off without even allowing him to see Indigo a final time… I wasn’t sure if it had been a dick move… but his abuse of his position as her mate stood against everything I fucking put in place… I knew by the way he looked at me before going that he knew, I knew the truth. His final words ran in my ear.

‘So, this is it Alpha? Do you want me to go on this mission?’

I had felt guilty. Sure as hell, I did. He was a fucker, but he had been one of my strongest men… One who did obey me regardless, but what he did... Should I have given him a chance? Who the fuck knows? He knew I stood against that shit.

"Alejandro?"

Her sexy voice dragged me from my thoughts and I looked at her. Our eyes met and I could hear her heart race speed up…

"Are you just going to stare at me? I know I'm fucking good looking, but what do you want?"

She frowned and glared at me, I gave her a smirk, glancing back at the road.

"What did you do? With Fred I mean. Dad text before and said that Auntie’s really angry that you sent him off on a mission?"

"Yeah, I sent him to Bill’s land. Even if the engagement is off, I'm still the king, if I want someone to search that dipshits lands then yeah, they’ll search it. There are a few rogue hideouts in it, I'm fucking sure, or someplace that leads to their lair at the very least. I sent Fred to find out."

She frowned, thinking over what I had just said, before she looked at me confused.
