“Who?” she asked, her heart racing.
“You haven’t met him before, but he is Kiara’s twin brother, Liam, future Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack. He was passing nearby anyway, so I asked him to stop here. I would trust him with my life. Do you trust me?” I asked quietly. She looked up at me and nodded.
“I do. If you trust him, then so do I,” she said, “I just… can we get our luggage first? I want to...” She blushed, and I knew she meant to get some panties. I smirked slightly, despite the situation.
“Sure, I’ll be taking you to the edge of the pack territory, you can grab what you need, and we’ll meet up with Liam.”
“How long will you take, Rayhan?” she asked. I knew she wanted to know exactly what I was going to do, but she didn’t need the details.
“I’m not sure, Kitten, but Liam will take care of you. If you want to video call Kiara or Raihana, you can do that, all right?” She nodded, seeing Marcel come out of the room. He bid her farewell, and then we took our leave.
Delsanra
We reached theedge of the pack grounds, and that time, a guard drove the car. Once we got out, I saw a young man leaning against a black Range Rover. He was bulkier than Rayhan and maybe an inch taller too. He had a square face with a prominent jaw and a styled short beard. He had strawberry blond hair with the back and sides short. His cerulean blue eyes were sharp and cold, with a scar running across his right eye and through his eyebrow.
Anger. Resentment. Bitterness.
Those were the emotions I sensed from him as he stood with his arms crossed.
“Liam.”
“Rayhan.” Despite the fact that his voice was softer than I was expecting for a man his size, it was still ice cold. What was it?
Rayhan let go of me, meeting him with a quick hug, trying to make sure he didn’t get blood on him.
“My mate, Delsanra.” I sensed the slight tension in Rayhan’s voice as he said those words. Liam’s cold eyes turned on me.
“Nice to meet you,” he said quietly.
“Nice to meet you, too, Alpha Liam.”
“Liam is fine,” he replied, glancing at Rayhan. “I’ll make sure she’s safe. You take care of what you need to.”
“Thanks, I owe you one,” Rayhan said, unlocking his own car. I quickly got my bag out of the trunk; he took a duffle bag out, putting a clean pair of clothes into it.
I got into the car, shutting the door behind me. Opening my bag quickly, I took out some panties and slipped them on, grabbing my phone from the dashboard and slipping it into my pocket. Okay, all done.
I exited the car, seeing the two men talking. Both turned towards me, and I wondered if all alphas were so big.
“Ready,” I said.
Rayhan smirked slightly, approaching me. He pulled me into his arms, looking down at me. Our eyes met, and he kissed me hard, his emotions clear in that kiss. I kissed him back, hating when the kiss came to an end. He moved back forcefully and took my hand, leading me to Liam’s car. Liam got in while Rayhan opened the passenger side door and lifted me in.
“See you soon, Kitten.” I nodded before he kissed me once more and shut the door.
“Strap up,” Liam said, not even looking toward me.
I nodded, thinking he was so different from Kiara. One would think her twin would be sweet and just as gentle, but the man had coldness exuding from him that I hadn’t even felt from the Alpha King, a man who was said to be completely ruthless and cold-hearted.
I put my belt on and glanced out at Rayhan, who seemed to be waiting for us to leave. I watched him until he was out of sight before sitting back, sighing deeply.
Rayhan
I returned toMarcel’s packhouse and was led into the cells. My mind was stuck on Delsanra, but I knew she’d be safe with Liam, despite how much he had changed over the years. He was still trustworthy.
I knew what happened to him had changed him. His mate was mated to another as well. I didn’t blame him for not being able to accept it; the thought of someone else even touching my kitten made me want to fucking tear them apart, one fucking inch at a time. To make it worse, it was to someone he considered his best friend, who was also his Beta. I guess we all had some fucked up shit going on.
I looked at the men and the few women before me. They had been shouting, demanding to be let out, until I stepped forward, silence and fear rolling off them in waves. I realised there were a few that weren’t there before. So, Marcel had done as I had asked…
